Travellers Tales

| For want Of name he may be call
common Bill Smith. Oh, so very COM
mon. However, when the little accident
occurred he was doing very uncom-
mon thing for some of the citizens of
Fargo-he was drunk.
Now a great many people know
what it is TO be drunk. If you do not
know do not try and find out. 1t is
all very pleasant in the beginning, but
like many other pleasant beginnings,
1t has it's sad end.
Bill was en- route home via the foot
bridge a few evenings ago. He had
just come from happiness and it's in
fiuence was still visible in his jack
tar appearance. He sailed along like
boat on rough seas. But instead of
the rough seas the boat was a pleasure
yacht to happy Bill. His course not
true nor straight. To be frank about
the matter he used the outskirts of the
lane to mark his travelling boundaries.
AS the Dusselldorfer ship came
bowling down the last hill before the
foot bridge was reached, Bill was hap
py as the happiest. Find bridge me
u-und git across and kiss old Jake at
the barn. She-she'll love me-" were
his mutterings as he numbered along.
Jake is Bills horse.
When Bill reached the bridge he
was in condition fit to receive the
bride and groom or some silver we'd
ding rye. He leaned over the railing
for few moments 70 look at the
. pretty water,
The moon reflected bright light and
his own shadow stood out against the
surface of the stream.
"Hell-hello old man." said he, adj
dressing his shadow.
The shadow answered him not.
Il say, old sport, hello" said Bill a
little louder.
Still the shadow was silent. Bill
leaned closer to the water and the man

Bill was veXed and this time he
shouted out, Hey YOU down there.

FARGO WOMEN SHOULD ACT.

Fargo ladies are peculiarly fitted for
teaching homemaking and homeIoving.
Many Of them have the ambition but
lack the leadership or the initiative.
The Forum believes the ladies of this
city possess all the necessary qualif-
cations-if their modesty or lack of
courage did not prevent them from
making the beginning.
There are things that could be done
In a civic way for Fargo. All will
admit that. There could be better
homes, more trees, prettier flowers
and best OF ali cleaner bspek yards In
which the children could play.

BRYAN AND BIZ RkE.

The speeches by w. ]. Bryan in
North Dakota this week-ostensibly
for Governor BuEke-may not have
proven SO. helpful TO. the man who
wants to be elected governor third
term as he had hoped. 1t appears the
managers of the Bryan tour had failed
to tip the. Nebraskan off as to the
game Burke was playing in this state,
They did not tell him that Burke was
q bowling democrat-amOng demo-
crats-but a pronounced advocate OF
non-p craftsmanship when he was speak
ing to mixed audiences.
Mr.. Bryan is a Ioveable. gentleman,
eloquent and always entertaining to a
high degree. In politics he always
takes his straight. He is sincere. in
his democracy-rarely plays to the
galleries and never plays the hypo-
critic.
He told his audiences to vote for
Burke, and thereby help to get demo-
cratic senator's from this state to
Washington. In his honesty and sim
cerity-it never occurred to the Ne
braskan that he was putting his foot
into the pudding and was mussing up
the nice little combination Burke had
framed up. He didn't know that Burke
was endeavorlng to entrap the re-
publicans with soft and honied
phrases-instead of standing out in the
open and fighting. for democracy. He
didn't know Burke was endeavoring
to play the personal rather than the
political game--With republicans. He
didn't know that Burke was building
UP his political machine stealthily-
and with the hope the republicans
wouldn't discover his methods till he
had been elected a third time.
Bryan kicked the fat into the fire
in several of his speeches and opened
the eyes of many republicans to the
real situation. Some of the voters who
were inclined to cast their ballots for
Burke are now able to see through the
governors schemes and will hesitate
ia assist in furthering them with their
franchises.
Altogether it appears the repubIi-
cans should be rather glad Bryan came
to North DAKOTA. His addresses were
of a nature that yyaftId tapd 10
strengthen party lines and prevent the
movement to stampede mavericks and
estray republicans into the democratic
corral.

WORK NGMAN WANTS
STERN FOR LEGISLATURE,

To The Forum: notice by the pub
lie press that some Of the candidates
for legislative honers from the Ninth
Fargo district are publishing articles
and platforms setting forth various
reasons why they should be elected
and incidentally making numerals
promises as to what they will do for
the dear people i'm the event of their
election. NowS it seems to me, iudg-
ing from the standpoint Of a working
man, that the man who has delivered

the friend of the labaring man. who
has furnished us with employment is
really eur best friend. If my ANALYSIS
is correct. who. among the candidates,
is best entitled to our support as the
pollsa To me, there appears to- be
no question but that Alex Stern IS the
man, His career in this city for over
quarter OF a century, has been ID life
Of business activity. and ] believe it
is an indis9utable fact that there
stands in this city today more busi-
ness blocks which he has been instral-
mental in erecting than any cthef man
in the history of the greatest little
city in the United States And here is
where Mr., Stern has proven himself
the friend of the lahoring man as well
as all others who have an interest in
the growth and prosperity of the city.
BY the erection Of the numerous
blocks and innumera1ale residences he
has furnished employment to prob
ably more men than any other who has
invested his capital in Fargo. Not only

upon them and he quickly followed

wraps and chatting with some friends.
The grand march now being announced,
he stepped up TO June Brownley, bow
ing. smiling and rubbing his hands, and
asked her TO lead The opening grand
march with him. She smiliugly com

grand march with about fifty couples

who sat near, Just as hcr partner came
TO claim her for the dance, which was
Just forming on the floor. Frank and
