BURKE AS A FINANcrER.

Some of the insurgent papers of
the state have recently been telling
what great financier LaFoIlette is
and how his methods are alleged to
have placed Wisconsin on the top
wave of statewide prosperity. Claims
were made that while governor La
Toilette inaugurated methods by which
the state was enriched--and at the
same time the tax rate was reduced.
All these claims about LaFollette may
be true. The Forum has not inves-
tigated the situation.
But it seems strange that the North
Dakota insurgent and democratic
press should go so far afield in search
Of the magnificent accomplishments
OF great governors-in the realms of
finance. Why don't they dilate on the
wonderful things done by Governor
Burke during the three terms to
which they assisted in eIecting him the
states executive?
Governor Sarles left the finances of
the state in good shape. His exper-
fence as business man and a banker
enabled him to inaugurate methods
which got results. With another term
to have gotten his plans in perfect
working order the state of North Da-
kota would have been in excellent
financial condition.
The insurgent republicans three
times assisted In the election OF Gov
ernor Burke. What are the results
Of his financial administration?
In order to make campaign dope for
his third candidacy Burke howIed for
economy advocated the reduction
OF the levy below q point where the
state could pay its bills. Even his
personal friends admitted the mis-
take--but Burke had to have cam
paign issue.

CHRISTMAS GIVING.

Custom has made Christmas giving
great burden on great many peo-
pie. For that reason they now watch
the approach of the holidays with
dread. They know that they must
spend more money than they can af-
ford--in buying presents for large
number of people. They feel obliged
to give this and that friend present
when they probably need all the money
they can spare to meet the demands of
their immediate families. The rules
of society and the laws of custom are
so exacting that many feel that they
cannot afford to violate them. The
result is they do themselves an injury
by foolishly going beyond their means
in extravagant Christmas giving.
1t is a beautiful idea to give at
Christmas time. The giving ought
not to be made burden-but should
be conservative and reasonable to a
degree that would make it blessing
to give as well as to receive.
Absurdly extravagant givIng-which
is INDUCED in by many people-is Of
ten painful to both the giver and the
receiver. 1t were better not to give at
all than for gift to be attended by
pain rather than pleasure.
1t is now less than a month until
Christmas-not too long to make
preparation for it. That care and dis
erection may be exercised in the selec-
ton and purchase of holiday presents
lit would be well for people to be-
gin now. The early buyer has the
choice Of everything in the markets
and the advantage of normal condi-
tons in the trading. In the closing
days Of the Christmas trade one must
necessarily encounter crowded marts
and buy in haste.
Upon the approach of. each recurring
Christmas is heard the injunction to
buy early. This is good advice. In
doing so the buying can be done with
the best of judgment. and hence to
the best of advantage.
Regardless of where and when you
buy your Christmas presents-choose
with care as 20 both appropriateness
and cost. Let your Christmas giving
be a pleasure and not a burden.

STARTLING FIGURES.

There is something to fire the mag
ination in the plan which is being pro-
mulgated in various parts of the world
by which all the English speaking
people on the globe may be induced
to celebrate the one hundredth ami
versary of peace among English speak
ing peoples.
One of the plans suggested is that
every one of the 15O.OOO.OOO English
speaking people in the world shall, at
q stated time, remain silent for the
period Of five Misunderstanding this
time to prayer or to contemplation.
The date set for the carrying out of
this programme is still some three
years in the future-1O0 years from
the time of the ratification of the
treaty signed at Client, Feb. II, 1915.
A little figuring brings amazing re-
suits.
Five minutes taken from every one
Of 150,000,000 people, amounts to 1446
years for one individual-or more than
nineteen lives of seventy years each.
What might not nineteen of the
right kind of individuals do, if they
devoted their lives, of seventy years
each. to the cause of peace!
Or what could NOT one person have
done for such a cause, If he had been
born in the year 456--and had been
working down to the present minutel
Either he would have achieved his
purpose, or he would have become such
a bore as the world has never known,
outdistancing Colonel Bryan, Charlie
Ross and Billy Patterson.
But are all those millions of people
going to keep silence FIVE minutes
There are the women and children, to
say nothing Of the men. Many of the
men may manage 1t If they will con-
clude that it is time for the other man
to buy--but what will the majority
do?
However, taken in either a grave or
a gay light. this programme in cele-
hrAtion of a great event promises to
be unique in the worlds history.

susPEcTINo SERVANTS.

People are prone to suspect the SER
want when things arc missing from
the premises. They often do this be-
cause they say no ore else has been
about the place who would do such
thing as to steal. Employing the pro
cess of elimination. the servant is set
tied on az the offender. Not that the
servant has ever been known to be
guilty Of dishonest act--but proba-
ply because of the opportunities af-
forded her in having free access TO
everything about the house-she is
seized on as the one who would most
likely be the guilty person. Withou,
the semblance of proof, she is arrest

A case of this kind is told of by The
Baltimore Sun. as follows:
The down trodden' servant found
a friend this morning In Judge Will
liams Of the juvenile court.
Her employer missed a very expen-

the servant. This morning the mis-

"You did not see this servant take

To suspect without a reasonable
cause that servant has committed a
theft is an obvious injustice. To have

A LITTLE SAGE AND SULPHUR
MAKES GRAY HAIR VANISH
A REMEDY FOR ALL HAIR
TROUBLES.

Who does not know the value Of
sage and sulphur for keeping the hair
dark, soft, glossy and in good condi-
ton? AS a matter of fact sulphur
is natural element of hair, and a
deficiency of it in the hair is held by
many scalp specialists to be connected
with loss of color and vitality of the
hair. Unquestionably, there is no bet
ter remedy for hair and scalp troubles,
especially premature graypess, if
properly prepared. The Wyeth Chem
ical Company of New. York put up an
ideal remedy of this kind. called wy
eth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy,

der guarantee that the money will be
refunded il it fails to do exactly as
represented.
If you have dandruff, or If your
hair Is thin or turning gray, get a
bottle of this remedy from your drug
gist today, and see what it will do
for you.
This preparation is offered to the

he has gone a long way toward the
success to which he aims, and when
on top of that he receives the almost
unanimous support, not only of his
party papers. but Of his opposing par
ty, his success is practically assured.
There is always a cause for every
effect and the cause for all this Is
very easy TO find. One has but to
look at the record Mr.. Hanna has
made to find this cause. And in
speaking of records what record has
his opponent to show the peopls he
asks to vote for him? There is long
time left in which to look up the bad

and we do not hesitate to say that
the record made by Mr. Hanna will be
far better than the one made by his
