REPEAL OLD LAWS.

Instead Of passing a large number
CT bills-which are unnecessary and
are introduced only because some
members want to make a record--the
next legislature will gain the approval
of the people IL it will repeal num-
Der of worthless laws which now en-
cumber the statutes. They could sim
plify others which are hardly intelli-
gible to the supreme court.
Much of the ambiguity of the nres-
ent laws may be due to the system of
making amendments by referring only
to the section to be misunderstanding
1t necessary for one wanting to look
up a certain law to follow its history
through half dozen or more sessions
of the legislature. BY repeating the
old statute and passing a new one on
the same subiect-where amendment
is desired-the law could be found in
one place when wanted and the size of
the code would be reduced.

not merely a question of right and

of what effect on the wholesome regard
of people for other laws the non-en-
forcement of the prohibition law will
have. Is it for the best economic in

this. The well to do man who takes
his occasional drink, is not dependent

Trains Going West.
THE NJ. p. SHOP TRAIN.

1t is up to the people of Fargo to
make some provision for transporting
the railway employees who reside in
Fargo to Dilworth. The N. P. has
served official notice that after the
close Of 1911, the shop train will be
abandoned. Railway employees working
out of Dilworth and residing in Fargo
except those who can use the regular
trains-wil have to remove to Dilworth
unless some other form of transporta-
ton is arranged.
1t is understood the NJ P. win make
a liberal proposition for right of way
for an electric line to DiIworth, per-
haps permitting it to be constructed
and operated on the right of way. The
Fargo and Moorhead Street Railway
Co. has been Investigating the situa-
ton and may construct an interurban
line to operate direct from DiIworth to
Broadway and n. P. avenue in Fargo
on payment Of two fares-one to the
city limits and one between the city
limits and Dilworth.
The Forum does not know whether
the patronage would be sufficient to
remunerate the street car people or
not 1t is probable such line would
be a good investment.
But IL the street railway people will
not act on their own initiative it seems
that the business men of Fargo should
interest themselves sufficiently to in
sure the line. This might be done in
many ways. They could purchase
stock in the present railway company.
They could construct the line from the
city limits on the east side of Moor
head to Dilworth and arrange with
the present company to operate the
cars. Arrangements must be made for
quick and frequent transportation be-
tween Fargo and Dilworth-making it
possible for employees of the N. p. to
continue their residence here-and also
for residents of Dilworth to come to
Fargo and do their shopping.
The people most directly interested
viii be the department stores, cIothiers.
milliners, tailors, grocers and all the
theatre people. Real estate men will
also want to keep as many railway
people here as possible to make houses
and realty property in greater de-
mand. Many other people will be in
directly benefited.
The Forum believes the opportunity
to be too great to be overlooked and is
confident the business men will ar
range for an electric Iine-if the street
railway company does not take the
matter up.

toinette Kopetzky, the prima donna.
Is veritable vision of delight. She
possesses every attribute which com
mands success. She has a beautiful
soprano voice of considerable range
and great purity; she is a piquante and
dainty; plays with bewitching arch
ness; is graceful in all her movements
and has a pretty little face. She is
Bohemian and plays with all the
abandon of her race, and she makes
the average American comic opera

placed alongside an oil painting by a
master. Another foreigner, Mile. lion

figure as Mascha. She has a handsome

supposed to be. Lieutenant BumerIi.
