Trains Going West.
TUESDAY IS THE DAY.

North Dakota has been in politics
almost from the first Of the year. In
January and February candidates were
busy-and they have maintained their
activity ever since. Tuesday is the
finish of the present campaign-and
the people will either ratify or reject
the results of the June primaries.
That the people of the state have
had their full share of politics, most
men will admit-but the game has been
an interesting one. Some have played
it for selfish reasons. Ambition has
been the impelIing motive with others.
A few have INDUCED in the contest
with greed as their handspring Of
action--others because OF their desire
for power; some because of their de-
the great majority have enjoyed the
game for the games sake-and the
latter class has had the most fun.
There are many interesting phases
to campaign which appeal to the
man who does not care for Office. but
does love to mix into lively contests.
This sentiment is what makes politics
so interesting-and gives North Da-
kota the reputation of having more of
1T to the square inch than any other
state in the union.
The Forum has no regrets over any
thing 1t has published during the cam
paign. It has put down nothing in
malice or anger. Having the utmost
contempt for four 1usher or a hypo-
crite-it has endeavored in its humble
way-to show up a few of the false
claims Of the opposition-and believes
it has succeeded.
The Forum wants to see C. A. John
son elected governor and believes he
will win. If the people of the state
decide to perpeIuate Governor Burke
In the executive Office, The Forum viii
continue to exist.
The Forum confidently expects every
other nominee on the republican ticket
TO be elected-even Andy Miller, whose
perfidy and treachery has been the
one lamentable feature of the cam
paign. But the people always get the
hides of the Benedict Arnold fellows
sooner or later.
McCumber, Gronna, Hanna, Helge-
sen, Johnson and Burdick have been
especially active during the campaign
--loyal at every stage to the entire
ticket-and they deserve the best the
republicans have to give.
Gunder Olson, Gilbreath, both Tay-
lors and Brightbill have not been out
great deal during the campaign. but
have always put forth their best
efforts. p. D. Norton, candidate for
secretary of state, accompanied sew
eral speakers in the southwestern part
Of the state and his campaign work
was reported effective.
The railway commission has been
loyal and will be elected by large
majority.
Go to the polls Tuesday and vote the
republican ticket from congressman to
constables. Don't give aid and en-
couragement to the enemy by giving
any democrat q complimentary vote
Above all vote for johnson for gov
ernor and restore North Dakota to the
republican ranks.

READING AND PROSPERITY.

Henry e. Legler, librarian of the
Chicago Public library, has noted
what he says is universal decline i'm
the circulation of public library books.
In a recent newspaper interview he
talked interestingly of the lure away
from the library.
The two main causes which result
ed in the decline, he thinks, are the
multiplication of picture shows and
the present prosperity OF the country.
The falling off in reading. it seems,
has been largely confined to books
that give entertainment and diversion
only-and to readers who seek enter
tainment and diversion.
1t can be easily seen that for this
purpose the picture show has the
stronger appeal. The speeding film
can tell in a few minutes-and much
more viyidly-a story that it would
require several hours to read from a
book.
The other reason of Mr.. Legler is
especially interesting. Says he: TN
years of plenty, when prosperity af-
fects the leisure period of peoples
daily life, naturally time that can be
given to reading is more limited than
when they have nothing to do and
time hangs heavily upon them In
this respect library circulation stats
tics constitute O fairly good trade
barometer"
1t is true, however, that persons
who frequent libraries for entertain
ment merely miss a large degree Of
the great benefit they are capable Of
bestowing. For in them is all the
stored wisdom OF the ages free for
the asking
Mr.. Legler's interview reaffirms the
inestimable value of public libraries
In times of depression they furnish to
the people amusement and cheer-ant
in times Of prosperity they are store
houses of useful facts and practical
information.

NorthIand Shoes Excellent
Says John II. viktor, Ex-
L. F. Resident

That the shoes manufactured by the
Northland Shoe company are OF
superior quality IS the opinion OF John
A. Viktor, former business man of
this city who is in the dry goods and
shoe business at Cedar Rapids, Iowa,
and as he IS thorough shoe. man and
knows leather as well and even better
than the majority of business men,

sent Mr.. V1ktor samples of the shoes
turned out by the local company to
select what he liked out of it for an
order, also asking him for his opinion
of the shoes. MI. Viktor kept all
the samples, sending check for same
and fair sized order for more of the
Shoes In regard to the shoes he
writes: You ask my opinion of the
shoes. like the substantial make OF
them. Your lasts are good filters,
look we'll too. am sorry I couldn' t
give you a bigger order at present.
but may do so in the future. Wishing
you success IN your new venture,
