THE kNockER ALWAYS.

No uplift movement was ever in
ansurated that had not Its detractors.
No effort was ever made to get some
thing for Fargo--or to hold its own
that some wilmer did not make an at
tempt TO discourage the proposition.
For the last two or three years an
efrort has been made to secure an
electric line between Fargo and Dill
worth. There were two objects in
this.
The primary one was to retain in
Fargo all the employees Of the North
srn Pacific who did not actually have
% reside in Dilworth.
Another was that II an electric line
was once started it would eventually
lead to construction Of numerous
longer lines. radiating out OF Fargo.
The local owners Of the Fargo &
Moorhead Street railway disposed of
the road to Chicago people. The new
owners have millions Of dollars at
their command. They are in position
to make the improvements immediate
Iy desired and to finance the many
other plans Of which Fargoans have
dreamed for many years.
Now. on the eve Of the construction
of the electric line-the usual wilmer
and knocker shows up. In the morn
ing blication--skulking behind an
ambush of anonymity-some one wants
to, head of the plan to retain actual
residents in Fargo.
He shows contempt for the rail-
road people who are beseeching the
public to help retain their residence
In Fargo-where they can enjoy some
OF the comforts Of life-where they
can educate their children and give
them better opportunities.
With the usual cowardice Of his
kind--the writer conceals his iden-
tIty and asks a number of theoretical
questions-compares the value Of
franchises In a city the size OF Fargo
with the great business centers of the
country-tries to discourage a plan
that the public believes will prove
beneficial to Fargo.
AS climax to the article this brave
guardian Of Fargo's interests insists
that the whole people of Fargo are as
much interested in the matter as a
small committee Of the Fargo CONNER
cial ciuD.
All Of which may be true.
The railroad men still living here
are certainly greatly interested. Their
families, their friends are also sitting
zap and taking notice.

With Maggie / was all the 60;
No other fellow had a show.
I always walked to school with she.
And was. happy, yes, street
Upon my humble Bonded knees
asked her would she wed me, please,
Her answer you don't need to guess
What could she say to me but Yes |"
l promised her limousine,
A regular enclosed machine;
"A mansion on the avenue.
With gorgeous panoramic view.
Two hired gals. butler and
"A footman in a costume grand.
She chose me in the kissin' games
And all the folks knowed we was
flames.
She gave to me her virgin heart
And said from me she'd never part
A pal named Jim, he set about,
BY gingerpop, to cut me out.
He saw her home from singin' school
And carried on just like fool.
She seemed to like him pretty good;
Doggone If I see how she could.
But wimnaen have peculiar ways,
TO take 'em seryus. never pays.
II drove ME dippy; yes. it did,
When she looked at some other kid.
When Jim fused round and stroked
her hair,
she SAID twas none Of my affair.
And finally she said she guessed
That she liked Jim mite the best.
That Teller was a traitor, sure:
He knowed my love for her was pure.
He acted like a measiy bloke,
Although he knowed my heart was
broke.
I lost my faith in wimmen kind
And thought ia almost lost my mind
It lasted only bout a week,
And ! got even, so to speak.
I've got sweet revenge on Jim,
For later on--she married him.

A FEW APPLICATIONS or A SIM.
PIE REMEDY WILL BRING
BACK THE NATURAL
COLOR.

Fun out one gray hair and a dozen

which lis, to great extent. true. n no

when gray hairs appear it Is a sign
That Nature needs assistance. II is
Natures call for help. Gray hair. duh
lIeless hair, or hair that Is falling
out, is not necessarily a sign OF ad
vancing age, for there are thousands
OF elderly people with perfect heads
OF hair without single streak of gray.
When gray hairs come, or when the
hair seems to be lifeless or dead, some
good, reliable hair-restoring treatment
should be resorted to at once. Special
lists say that one of the best prepare
tons to use is the old fashioned sage
tea" which our grandparents used. The
best preparation Of this kind is Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy. 4
preparation of domestic sage and
sulphur, scientifically compromises
with later discovered hair tonics and
stimuiants, the whole mixture being
carefully balanced and tested BY ex-
perts.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is clean
and wholesome and perfectly harm
less. 1t refreshes dry, parched hair
removes dandruff and gradually re-
stores faded or gray hair to its natural
color.
Don't delay another minute. Start
using Wyethts Sage and Sulphur at
once and see what difference a few
days treatment will make in your
hair
This preparation is offered to the
public ct fifty cents bottle. and is

FieuREHEAp DIRECTORS.

A remarkable decision has just
been handed down by the appellate
court Of New York. It declares in ef-
feet. that the men chosen to direct
the affairs Of q corporation need not
direct. Says the court:
Directors generally are not sup
posed to have knowledge of the details
Of the business management of the
corporations which are not submitted
to them. IL they are compelled to sup
ervise the detail OF management Of
each corporation in which they are
directors, or IL they are deemed to
have constructive knowledge Of such
facts as would be acquired by such
supervision. IT would be wholly i'm
possible for them to accept such a
trust. Any construction of the law
that would make 1t impossible for
such men to accept positions on var
ious boards OF directors would SER
iously impair both the effectiveness
and stability Of corporations; in fact.
be little less than calamitous.
Some of these statements are plain
" correct. But the inference Of the
court will not stand the test OF the
demands Of the public and probably
not Of the law. The purpose of the
decision is apparently TO sanction the
practice Of inducing one man OF strong
financial influence to serve on many
boards OF directors. There is moth
ing Objectionable In this, provided the
man 20 called upon will conscien-
tiously perform all his duties on every
board. AS for the details Of the man
agement-it Is not necessary Tor him
to give them constant supervision in
order TO know what condition a cor
poration IL in ana what 1t is doing.
The country has seen too much OF
the evil effects Of Ggurehead directors
IN banks not 70 be strongly opposed to
them, They are largely responsible
for ''bankers' row" in the peniten-
tiariee and the loss OF many thousand
dollars labor4ousiy earned by trusting
aepositors. Luakily. the appellate
court Of New York Is nor a court OF
last resort. It's decision may be oyer-
ruled.

Neche Chronotype Fl. II. Aaker.
the man who was denounced roundly
for his treachery to the republican
party, is now held In high esteem by
many insurgent papers because he has
retired from the race for gubernatorial
honors In favor Of James Buchanan.
Many Of the papers that called Mr..
Aaker names that no gentleman ought
to be called, are now eulogizing him
and saying that he is a patriotic citi-
zen and deserves great credit for re-
firing from the race. Mr.. Aaker's re-
tirement IL looked upon by many as
another Of that agile gentleman's Pc
culiar political acrobatic stunts. In a
week he may be a candidate for at
tOrney generator doing something
out OF the ordinary to attract atten-
ton. Some OF the insurgent papers
viii take Mr. Aaker's sudden change
of heart as an indication that he has
been cured of his itch for office and
desires to see a bona fide insurgent
in the gubernatorial chair; others
more discreet--will look for the Eth
opian In the wood-pile, and we ven
ture TO predict that before the election
takes place in 1919, Mr.. Aaker will
make another political move that viii
be more startling than those he has
already made.
