LABOR DAY PARADE.

The labor unions of Fargo are to
parade Labor day.
This will be pleasing news to resi-
dents Of this city and to the thou
sands of visitors who are to be here
on that occasion to help celebrate the
day and welcome former President
Roosevelt.
When 1t was announced that Roose-
Welt had been secured for the Labor
day address the Fargo branch OF the
American Federation Of Labor was
credited with scoring the biggest hit
of the year and getting big scoop
on the other labor organizations of the
country.
Union men in all the surrounding
territory abandoned all plans they had
made and decided to join with Fargo.
II is not only a big event for the
labor union workers of Fargo to have
Roosevelt here, but it gives the mem
beers the opportunity of their lives to
impress the public with the develop
ment and Importance of their organ
izations
At frst-because of the large crowds
that were expected-some of the
unions opposed parade. More recent
ly they have seen the advantage tc
be gained by big display and 1t i:
reported that all have entered heartily
into the plan.
/ A year ago there was an imposing
parade. II goes without saying tina

TEMPTATION TO CHEAT.

American Magazine: The prevail
ence of false weights and measures
and the false use OF weights and meas
ures is alarming, and 1t is not by any
means to the credit of this country or
to the individual states that the sub
ject has not received proper recogni-
ton.
The shameful conditions existing
here are not tolerated by any other
civilized nation of the world. Some iso-
lated instances OF efficiency in relation
to this subject, in more or less spas
modic manner, could be cited, but on
the whole there has been no intelligent
thought or constructive work done in
this line until recently.
The awakening of the subject in the
empire state will undoubtedly have Its
influence all over the country, and the
credit for this is largely due to the
sense of fair play to the producer, the
distributor and the consumer shown by
Senator George III. Cobb and A. E.
Merritt, ir. Realizing that weights and
measures are the basis of all trade
they believe that the first necessary
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1910-08-20

step to secure honest weights and
measures is an intelligent and efficient
administration and inspection.
The shortage in weights and meas
ures Is the one factor which increases
the cost of living which can be re-
moved, but which can only be remov-
ed through a thorough and systematic
inspection OF weights and measures,
and also through the assistance of the
housekeepers. The housekeeper is
necessarily the purchasing department
OF the household and in this latter
capacity she should have kitchen test
OUTFIT to check the quantity of the COM
modities purchased.
There will be more and more Of this
| household economy as soon as 1t is
fully realised that the value of the doll
lar will be increased from to Is per-
cent when the quantity received is
what it purports to be. Try it and be
convinced.

LABOR TO END WAR.

News comes from London that the
movement launched there some time
ago for a worl1ingmen's international
anti-war organization is gaining
ground rapidly.
Started by labor leaders, 1t is said
to be interesting the rank and file Of
unionists in England. It is likely that
an invitation will soon be issued to
unionists everywhere to send represen-
tatives to an international congress.
Labor, it is stated, wants to throw
its influence the world over against
war; and to make this influence felt
even to the extent of calling an i'm
ternational strike to prevent unneces-
sary wars whenever the latter are
imminent.
War, in addition to being hell-as
stated by General Sherman-is woe
fully out of date in the twentieth GEN.
tury.
In modern economic conditions there
Is no place for 1t. This becomes quite
apparent when II is considered that the
cost of living has just about reached
if not exceeded-the earning capacity
of the average man. When taxation to
keep up expensive ornaments for war
Is added to this, the burden becomes
doubly irksome.
1t has always been known that the
workers carry the heavy end of any
war-and therefore they ought to have
a large say-so about when war is nee
essary.
Maurice Hewlett, the author, who is
a champion of the movement, thinks
that peace conferences between diplo-
mats and politicians will never end in
anything but falkland that If any
thing is ever accomplished it must be
done by the working classes.
War in modern times depends on
whether money can be raised with
which to finance 1t. If the working
men Of the nations will throw their
economic strength against it, it will
likely perish through lack of necessary
sustenance.

Bismarck Tribune: No more Inn
portant duty will come before the
voters OF the state this year than
the selection Of three 1udges-a ma
jority-of the supreme court. The
three judges chosen will constitute the
majority OF the court for at least six
years, under the constitutional amend
ment that was passed two years ago.
One of the judges, who receives the
highest vote, will hold office for ten
years, a second for eight years and a
third for six years. This is the court
of the last resort of the state, the final
tribunal to which life, liberty and
property may go for justice. 1t is the
court which passes finally upon the
laws of the state. There Is no re-
course beyond the supreme court in
purely state matters.
The people have six candidates
from which to choose their judges.
At the primary election, the interest
in the judgeships was overshadowed
by the greater interest In the contest
for senatorships and state officers. At
the fall election, and before, there
should be careful reflection upon the
Importance of the selection OF Judges.
Men Of broad intelligence, eminent
fairness, knowledge Of the law and
courage to declare their opinions,
whether temporarily popular or not,
are the men whom we should select
for judges. 1t ought not TO be diff
cult for the people of this state to
form a sound Judgment as to the COM
parative worth and ability OF the cam
didates from whom they are to select
three judges. The main thing Is to
get people enough interested that
they shall inquire as TO the qualifiea-
tions of the various candidates and
form their own judgments as to their
merits. The judgments OF the people
are pretty safe, If they are carefully
and fairly formed upon accurate in
formation and knowledge. Every man
who votes for three judges this fal
votes for a majority Of a court which
may some time be called to pass q
final Judgment upon his life. his ill.,
erty or his property.

RED RIVER VALLEY BOOST.

The people of the Red river valley
have had it forcibly impressed upon
them many times during the last de-
cade that the strip along the eastern
edge Of the state was not the whole
thing.
For many years the best crops OF the
state have not always been found in
the valley counties. In fact in some
seasons they have been elsewhere.
! It Is when there Is some year like
the present that the good old Rer river
valley demonstrates It's immense fer
tility-its drought resistant qualities
and other valuable features.
This year there are many counties
outside the valley that have good crops
some Of the best being the second
line OF counties and others in the ex-
treme western edge of the state. But
the old Red river valley came to the
front in striking contrast to some 9th
err sections OF the state.

REASONS FOR cHURcH.eoIN

An eastern publication has under
taken to secure some reasons for
church. going and succeeded in getting
several expressions. The replies are
interesting and some are given in the
following:
The question Is answered by some
in saying: Because 1t seems to me
that the church bears the same rela-
ton to right living that the flag does
to patriotism-it upholds an ideal" A
lawyer who says that perhaps he
should not be expected to go to church
at ALL" replies that he also in church
observance follows an Ideal" He
writes:
Briefly / go to church to worship
God, and because l know that I can
live higher, a broader, and better
life as the result. / am in action a
busy man, and my religion is rational
rather than emotional. But I know
that ideals are the lever which moves
the world; that behind every ideal lies
a religious inspiration and that church
going is the practical support of all
religion"
Another has three reasons:
81. Because of what it stands for.
With all of its human imperfections,
the Christian church stands for the
best elements of life and the highest
conception of God known to mankind
| "2. Because of it's offspring. Nearly
all the institutions and agencies in
terested in the uplifting of humanity
are the product, directly or indirectly
of the Christian church. And most
of the people who give their time, tai
ents and money to the support of these
lbeneficent institutions are members of
or results of, tho life and work of the
Ichurch. / want 10 have a part in this
general uplift.
"3. Because of It's enemies. II a mar
is to be judged by his enemies, why
not the church? The foes of the home
foes of the church. All forces which
seek mankind's destruction seek tn,
churchs villification"
A farmers wife gives a mingling o
religious and worldly reasons that bea
a very human stamp:
II am the wife of farmer living Il

: / go to church services held in lo
