THE LEGISLATIVE VOTE.

Most voters this year will vote their
legislative ticket straight, but there
are always a certain number of people
who, If they scratch their ticket might
scratch it in the case of candidates to
the state legislature. Personality all
ways counts for something at the bal
lot box-some voting out of line" be-
cause a candidate is a personal friend
or because they like him personally.
Some voters, who would never think
of scratching a national or any other
ticket, might do so in the case of leg
islators, not realizing that they are
effecting their national ticket
However, it is the state legislators
that must choose United States ssna-
tors and a voter who has strong con-
victions in national politics should say
to himself: Il am not voting for
these men personally, but for the tri-
umph or defeat of principle

PREVENTION OF FOREST FIRES.

1t does seem that after this years
experience with forest fires-costly ax-
periences in which not only millions
If dollars but scores of human lives
we're lost-some adequate means of
preventing them should be adopted.
In a city a fire department of Il
hrA&n men armed with many horses
and thousands of dollars worth CT
equipment, will run a mile at break
neck speed to extinguish a burning
rubbish heap. If there is any fire
fighting done in a forest it is done by
couple of forest service men REIN
forced by the settlers and then only
when the fire has gained such proper
tions as to be highly dangerous. The
number of men employed in some nf
The city fire departments would be
adequate to prevent fires in a mighty
big forest if the proper system was
used.
The New York Evening Post, in
commenting on the recent forest fires
says:
The latest forest fire horror should
have the effect of so crystalizing pub
lie sentiment for the adequate patrol
ling and protection Of our forests that
such calamities shall be made practi-
cally impossible in the future This
year has witnessed We believe, a
greater amount both of destruction of
The woods and especially of dgonizing
loss of human life, than any previous
enc. The laying waste of the forests
themselves is a sufficiently melancholy
thing, involving, as # often does, not
only vast economic injury, but the loss
Of natural possession thll cannot
be replaced; but when we hear of
towns and villages blotted off the map
and of scores and hundreds of people
perishing in the flames. it IS time that
resolute action were taken. At the
bottom of this trouble is not crooked
ness" or monopoly, or plutocracy. or
one view rather than another Of 7ta+a
or federal functions; at the bottom
of it is simply an easy going neglect
to take into account a terrible danger.
willingness to run risks rather Than
go to the trouble and expense of sys-
tematically guarding against them,
which is one Of the defects of the
American temperament. In spite of
the terrible lessons of the present year.
1t will require the most persistent en-
deavor on the part OF those who are
working for forest protection to bring
about the adoption of the measures
necessary for safety. There can be
no doubt that those measures will far
more than pay for themselves =. dol
lars and cents, besides preventing APP
palling misery and loss Of life; and vet
all the insistence that the friends of
forest preservation can bring to bear
will be needed to get an effective sys-
tenn put into operation.

revolver against the roof of his mouth
and pulled the trigger. His lifeless
form was found there by the police an
hour later

Travellers Tales

M. L. Lazarus of Baltimore comes
to Fargo quite frequently. He is well
| acquainted in the city and spends
| much Of his time here when in the
northwest. He likes Fargo and spends
as much time here as possible.
Yesterday Lazarus got started about
the factory of the firm he works for.
There was no stopping the genial
salesman. Eyes, sir, there is no cloth
ing factory in the United States that
has as much money back of it as
Strouse Bros. Of Baltimore" said
Lazarus. He went into the details Of
the mammoth plant and after taking
into consideration that he was from
an oyster city and not a fish city, his
friends said they would believe him.
Lazarus is a sincere fellow and one
of the best statesmen that makes Far
go, so naturally he is a friend to ev-
eryone and is well liked here. 1t is
hoped he will prolong his visit in the
key city and the indications are that
he will do so.
Billy Liner is one of the best nat
ural hotel clerks in Fargo. Some of
Billys friends often accuse him of
worrying about the thickness of his
hair. But Billy never worries about
anything. He just stands behind the
desk and smiles. Smiles the smile that
is his own brand and that makes you
want him for friend.
Billy says that when he was a
school boy he actually purchased a
bottle of hair tonic. About a month
later he saw the barber who sold him
the restorative.
did that bottle of hair restorative
l sold you do any good?" said the
barber.
Yes, indeed" replied Billy. 1T
kept me from wasting my money on
any more"
Billy's hair is still slick and combed
to perfection every day. He claims
the reason is that he never used any
more hair tonic.

SYSTEM OF STATE ROADS.
The effects of the good roads con-
vention, which was held in Fargo last
summer are still being felt throughout
the state. The press is especially
active on the subject and there seems
to be a greater enthusiasm on the
part of the people, especially the farm
ers. 1t seems that should the cam
paign of education continue the move
ment will be carried to that point
within the next couple of years where
great results can be expected Of it.
The fact that North Dakota is a new
state should not be used as an excuse
for neglecting road improvements-that
Is doing what can be done under local
conditions. Oklahoma, about the
youngest state in the union, has made
great strides in this direction. II is
now building a series of state and
county highways that will be the best
In the country when completed.
One thing that is hindering any no.
ticeable improvement in the roads of
North Dakota is the system under
which the work is done. It is a notice
able fact that in those states where
the best roads are to be found the con-
tract system is used. This is a feat
ure that is hard to educate the farmers
up to, but where it has been used for
a time it would be impossible to get
them to go back to the old methods of
road making.
Under the contract system a COM
petent engineer is employed and the
state and county help the township
and it is an easy matter to see why
better results can be obtained than
under system where little or no en-
gineering is used in the work
