A BOOST FOR GOOD ROADS.

New Rockford, N. D.. Feb. 1S.-To
The Forum: / have been noticing
through the columns of The Forum
that there is getting to be some awak-
ening in Fargo with regard to the
good roads movement. / like to see
it. ] think that Mr.. Litton of Lari-
more is to be congratulated for the
interest displayed by his addressing
the Fargo Commercial club on this
vital subject. I believe that all of us,
who are interested in our own well
fare should give the good roads
movement our most hearty support.
We were told by Senator McCumber
not long ago that, Organic matter
feeds on the Inorganic" and I think
he is correct IL therefore behooves
us to organize for the purpose of un-
iting our efforts toward furthering a
cause that will be a lasting benefit
and pleasure for us all. / believe also
that where we are not organized To-
caliy we would do best by joining the
state organization OF which The For
um has made mention several times.
We are informed, Pres. ]. III. Worst
of the agricultural college, Fargo, is
good roads enthusiast and has
done a great deal to further the
movement. Now why can't we Cfarm-
ers or business menu assist these peo-
pie in getting for us that which we
know is of inestimable value to us
When Fargo invites the good roads
association 10 come let us all accept
the kind invitation. OF course we are
not all going to come, but we all want
better roads and II will do us good e
find out how to get what we want
The writer for one would like 70 SCI
the Good Roads association meet some
time, so early, that plans could b
laid for the inaugurating of a system
of road work to be done this year.
Thanking The Forum for its utter.
ances on the good roads movement,
beg to remain,

Rugby optimist: Notwithstanding

that Stockwell had taken monies be-

amounting to several thousand dollars,
and the natural inference therefrom
being that 1t was appropriated for his

nation from any of the good, honest,
upright, moral insurgent press of the
state. Why? Well, there's a reason"
Rugby Optimist: There was a great
deal said by the holy willies" around
over the state when Insurance Com
missioner Cooper was accused of re-
tanning certain monies-and even then
he was not accused of appropriating

they now try to excuse their big chief

cessors had been doing. He also paid
back every cent as soon as it had been

We have heard so much about Andy

now to hear the opinion of some OF
these fine gentlemen who are opposed
to graft in all it's hideous forms. II
Stockwell hasn't looted the state treas
ury to the amount of several thousand
dollars, we would like to know what
they call it.

tendent should avoid anything that sn-
vors of graft In any form.
Professor Moore aptly says;
Character building Is q weighty
charge and inasmuch as the child
strives to copy models with which he
comes I'm contact, the teacher should
teach not only lessons of respect for
and observance of the law but he
should by every word and every action
symbolic the good citizen. The child
mind is plastic and the teacher will be
able to mold II 10 just such an extent
and to just such degree of perfection
as he himself has been able to attain
and TO live. Remember every word
spoken and every act performed within
hearsay or sight of children tends to-
ward the foundation of character.
Law-breakers and law evaders have
no places in the teachers ranks.

JAMESTOWN COLLEGE NOTES

Jamestown, N. d. Feb. 21.-The boys
OF the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton Of jamestown college have, during
the past pear, enjoyed a number of
rare treats in the way of lectures and
addresses from professional men of
jamestown. The latest of these was
delivered Thursday afternoon by DIR.
Moore. He dwelt upon the importance
of a clean, manly and upright life
among the students. Such talk from
such men make the boys of jamestown
college realize that the people Of
jamestown have their interest at heart,
and encourage them along the path
of right living and thinking. DR..
Moore has many friends at the college
who will be glad to hear from him
again.
One OF the most important events in
the colleges history up to this time,
was the organization last Thursday of
The Students Improvement association.
The object of this society is the general
improvement of the moral life OF its
members. Judge Knauf in an address
some time ago pointed out the value
of such an organization and the sug-
gestion was quickly taken up and acted
upon. William Paulson was princi-
pally instrumental in this movement
and ii was largely due to his efforts
that the organization was effected.
Nearly every boy at college has iden-
titled himself with this society and Mr..
Paulson may well be proud of the re-
suits. The officers are William Paul
son. president; Glare Cobb. vice pres
ident; Frank Hoffman, secretary and
