NOISY FOURTH CELEBRATIONS.

AS Fourth of July approaches the
agitation for a safe and sane observ-
ance grows stronger throughout the
country.
This protest against the use of dan
gerous explosives is no idle one. It
has it's foundation in a serious fear of
endangering the lives and limbs Of the
children Of the country. The toll an
nually exacted through the noisy cele-
bration OF the nations birthday is a
big one-and the effort is directed sole
~ towards saving the youthful pa
triots from useless sacrifice.
Within recent years the dangers
from a noisy celebration Of the Fourth
of. July haveincreasedg reatly-because
of the increase in the variety Of things
used to make the Fourth glorious -
and the increased power Of the explo-
sives used in them.
There are plenty Of other ways in
which the day can be celebrated, and
the other ways will please the children
quite as well-and they are Of char
acter to practically eliminate the
chance of injury or death.

periodical visits to Fargo and on east
for the purpose Of disposing of his
horses. He was talking of his state
last night in the lobby of his hotel
and here is what he said: Montana
has been sweltering some the past few
weeks. but we have had some rains,
and out about Miles City, we expect to
have a fairly good crop. In some
parts of the state, however, the country
is burnt to a crisp and we won't get
thing from the soil in those parts.
In your state, out about Beach, the
conditions look fairly good, because
there has been some rain there, but in
coming through to Fargo found that
much damage had been done to the
crops from the extremely dry weather.
think, though, that some of the
stories that have been told of there
being no crop in North Dakota are
simply ridiculous, for I have made it
may business to. enquire and / find
there is good deal of good grain that
has not been damaged in the least.
There are 9. lot of calamity howlers
up in Montana just as they are here,
who would rather shout, wolf when
there is no wolf than talk good, and
while I don't expect to see anything
like good crop still there will be a
good showing in both states"

ALL REPUBLICANS.

After today there should be no more
factionalism in the republican ranks
at least until after the fall elections
are over. Stalwarts and insurgents
should be eliminated" and both
should be succeeded by straight re-
publicans.
The fight, as far as the factions are
concerned-is over for this year. Each
made an effort to land it's favorites
on the state ticket. Those who sue
ceeded will have every reason for feel
ing somewhat elated-but there will be
no excuse for undue display of that
sentiment. The defeated ones should
take their medicine manfully and not
sulk.
To the credit of both factions there
was much less bitterness than in the
primary campaign of two years ago.
There should be fewer sore spots to
heal overland less difficulty in all re-
publicans getting together in support
Of the same ticket.
The political game is a "give and
take" affair. No one man is likely to
be entirely satisfied with every candi-
date-but there Is no reason why any
voter-who claims to be republican
should imagine he is greater than a
majority Of his party.
The proper thing to do from now
till the last ballot is cast Nov. Sis
to forget factionalism-boost for the
republican ticket and redeem the state
from democratic domination.
Republicans can afford to take no
more chances on having democratic
governors appoint democratic senators
from a strongly republican state.
Get together.

TAFT AND SOLIDARITY.

The Minneapolis Journal has the fol-
lowing fitting tribute to a man who
has made good:
When President Taft pleaded at Wi
mona for party solidarity, his words
were lost in the chorus of condemna-
ton that broke out because Of his de-
Tense OF the tariff bill. But the presi-
dent has demonstrated by works the
faith that was in him. He has achiev-
ed in the congress just adjourned vic
tory for party solidarity of the best
kind. He has shown that the best
solidarity is that which is united for
good legislation and for the keeping of
platform pledges.
He has been the true leader of his
party, not the leader of a faction. At
times the regulars have complained of
his insurgency. At other times the
insurG ents have cried out upon his
regularity. But all the time he was
working for the party and for the
party's promises. What other presi-
dem ever succeeded in uniting his
party so completely on party measures,
and in crystalizing those measures into
effective legislation?
Amid all the fighting and shouting,
amid all the crossing of swords by the
two factions In the party, Mr.. Taft has
stood firm and has held the balance of
justice evenly. He has demanded OF
both factions the passing of the laws
to which the republican party had
pledged it's faith. But this demand has
been gently and automatically made,

FIGHTING HOUSE FLIES.

The Chicago Record Herald has the
following timely editorial on the ne
cessity of doing things to the house
flies:
The man or woman who wouldn't
hurt fly" is not, as we once imagined
in our dark ignorance, a gentle, kindly
person, but an enemy of the race. 1t Is
our duty to hurt the fly, to exterminate
it, in fact. Health boards, women's
clubs, national civic association have
declared war on the fly The depart
ment of Agriculture has Numbered
against it. Solutions Of formalin in
water will kill all the flies in a room,
we are told.
II you hesitate to take part In this
deadly campaign, remember that the
common house fly is now called the
typhoid fly. There may be some doubt
as to the exact propriety Of this name,
but We not the fly, get the benefit Of
the doubt. The fly is filthy, a carrier of
intestinal and other diseases, a menace
to life; and no good housewife, no duti-
full mother will tolerate even a few
flies in the kitchen or diningroom.
Some lurid and unpleasant posters
have been issued in certain cities to de-
pict the evil deeds and disgusting hab-
its Of the house fly. It should not be
necessary to resort to such methods.
A sweeping indictment should be
enough. The fly is more dangerous
than the mosquito, yet the latter hasn't
friend in the world. Tell the truth
about the fly in general terms, and
every hand that is not hopelessIy lazy
will be raised against it.

Mapleton, N. D., June 27.-To TINS
Forum: Notwithstanding the ex-
treme heat, large and cheerful party
gathered at the farm home of Mr.. ana
Mrs. John Dubrinz, Sunday afternoon
June 26. Tables were spread under
the cool shade OF the grove, and were
fairly loaded with the choicest OF
viands, while huge stone jars OF iced
lemonade cooled the thirst of young
and old alike. The young people were
strictly in evidence and enjoyed them
selves to the limit.
Among the guests were Mr.. and Mrs,
John McGregor and family Mr. and

Messrs, Johnson, Boaton, Moe and

The elders sat, and chatted and
watched the happy children at their
play, and at last when the lengthfng
shadows warned them that 1t was time
to dispense, each and all felt re-
luctance to separate, and say good
