MORE CHEAP LABOR.

The dangers from tenement house la
Dor on clothing-both to the people
employed and to the general public
which has to wear germ-laden gar
ments-is a melancholy commonplace
Of popular discussion. 1t is not SO
well known that fruit and vegetable
canning has invaded the tenement
repeating the ills of garment working.
The difference is that the germs are
fed to the public-instead of being
put on its clothes. The secretary OF
the New York child labor committee,
George A. Hall, at the New York
state conference of charities called at
tention to the new development.

THE TRUTH.

President Taft referred to Lincoln
as a man who was one OF the greatest
OF Americans because. primarily-he
loved the truth. The president ex-
pressed one OF those simple and OBJ
vious facts which are usually over
looked because the world has a weak
ness for searching for abstruse causes
and complex qualities.
To love the truth is perhaps a mark
OF greatness. in any man, It is a
trait which is by no means common,
despite declarations and habits OF self
deception.
One of the sad gpectacles OF mod
ern civilization Is the great number OF
teachers, of statesmen. OF judges. OF
common citizens. who strain every
point to demonstrate the tenability OF
their views-even when they have t.
resort to sophistries and to evasions
and insincerities.
Most men wish to be victorious
Pride and ambition drive them tC
falsehood and denial--even when they
are compelled to recognize the fac
that they are wrong.

PokER pLAYlNo WOMEN.

In Fargo, as well as other cities Of
the country, complaints are made that
bridge has become too tame for the
ladies and that poker is now popu-
lar game with the fairer sex. 1t is re-
ported there are a few in Fargo who
can bluff on pair of deuces--or stand
pat on bob tail hush--as cleverly as
the men.
If the reports of the entry OF the
women into the realm of poker are
true--it indicates the women are by
degrees usurping all the prerogatives
Of men. They are certainly entitled
to the right of suffrage. Perhaps II
they take an active part in politics
they will become so busy they won't
have time to crowd the men out of
more places.
'Rah for the dear women!"

CORPORATION MEN.

IN an EDITORIAL discussion Of the
men behind the big corporations, The
New York Journal OF Commerce says:
There is good deal Of disingenous-
ness and equivocation in current dis
cussion regarding control of corpora
tions and control by corporations. A
corporation is in itself an inanimate
organization capable of nothing. II
was Sydney Smith who characterized
it as having no body to kick and no
soul to damn; and it has been common
to refer to corporations as soulless
and yet capable OF action. which is
calculated to relieve those who oper-
ate them of moral responsibility while
leaving them with intellectual power
like that monster devised by F-ranken-
stein. But no corporation can live and
act without soul. and the souls who Ii
concert or cooperation work the or,
ganization are responsible for result.
and ought to be held responsible To-
all consequences It Is useless to kicl

THE RUG AND AUTO PERIL.

Oriental rugs and automobiles
threaten the life Of the United States
according to Prof. Robert. J
sprague of the Massachusetts, agri-
cultural college.
If the present low birth rate con-
tinues, Professor Sprague says, there
is little prospect that the nation can
retain it's high position among the
world powers.
Romance and loye-making are ia
booed by Americans. Young men post
pone marriage until too late In life
and practice repression OF their emo
tions. Men and women live indoors
and worry so much over their social
position that they are unfit--both ply
sically and mentally-to perpetuate
the race.
These are some of the reasons that
the Massachusetts, professor gives for
his alarm over the existing social con-
ditions,
"our trouble Is not that we love
children less. but that we love Or
iental rugs and automobiles more

In spite Of the fact that the bankers
sociologists, and policemen are SO &C.

PACKING HOUSES.

Some months ago Fargo was in
vestigated as the location Of pack
ing house. The men behind the en-
terprise were very enthusiastic over
the city Of Fargo. They liked its
push and energy-the hospitality Of it's
citizens--and regarded the shipping
facilities as ideal.
Then they endeavored to ascertain
whether a sufficient number Of live
stock would be available. The plant
was planned to handle only hogs at
first, and later on to take on cattle
and sheep. One Of the first things
that the capitalists discovered was
that North Dakota was not shipping
a sufficient quantity Of hogs to keep
the plant in operation. In fact the in
vestigation disclosed that not suffic-
lent number of hogs were sold at st.
Paul, Chicago, Omaha. Kansas City or
elsewhere TO run one small plant.
The result was q black eye to the
enterprise and North Dakota and Far
go lost packing plant the hackers
OF which were anxious to locate here.
These men went to another state. A
plant was established. which is now
slaughtering 5000 hogs daily. 1t en-
ploys large number of men and is
a great advantage for the city in
which it is located.
In a conversation with q repre-
sentative of The Forum one Of the
owners stated they still had their eyes
on Fargo and would locate q plant
here just as soon as the supply Of hogs
was SUFFICIENT.
AS result Of the big corn crop in
North Dakota this year the farmers
are raising and feeding more hogs than
ever before. Many carloads of pigs
were shipped in this fall to help eat
the corn. If this is kept up for year
or two--there will be no question az
to the supply. North Dakotans car
then have a home market for their
live stock-and Fargo may secure it,
long -wanted packing plant.
