AYR KICKER HowLlN' AGAIN

Ayr, N. d.. Aug. s.-To The Forum:
notice that the chairman Of the good
roads committee Of the Fargo Auto
club in relpy to "A Kicker's" communi-
cation gets a genuine case of bellyache
and uses sort OF dog growI (dog-
gerel) saying "A Kicker puts up a
howl" Whew, wouldn't that give
you hydrophobia. He states that IL
"A Kicker would send along $40 to
the Fargo Auto club all would
be merry and he might receive
more consideration. Gosh, wouldn't
that be expensive consideration, con-
sidering the source. 1t sure would. He
also mentions the fact that although
they have buncoed $40 out of many out
Of town members, they have not land
ed any suckers at Ayr yet. God bless
your dear soul. am glad you mention
that and since reading 1t ! am more
convinced than ever that Ayr is a
good place to live in. No, sir, we are
not quite foolish enough TO give ev-
wanted the earth and all the good
things In Cass county, and everything
else from here to Kalamazoo, but you
will never get any $40 from Ayr IL
"A Kicker can prevent it.
We have some roads of our own and
are trying to keep them up and there
is nice little auto club at Ayr and
every member is q committee OF one
to see that She roads are kept passa-
BILE, and when any Fargo automobilist
drives out here we give him the best
OF our hospitality and every considera-
ton, and we don't hold him up for $40
either Frequently I have carried 4
shovel with me in my auto and stopped
and personally fixed up bad places in
the roads In the vicinity OF Ayr. and
will venture to say as much good
came from 1t as the $40 paid by the
member of the Fargo Auto club. If
any Of the members had done the same
last season at eight or ten little bridges
between Mapleton and Fargo with q
drop of about foot at each end, there
would have been considerably less
cussing In that neighborhood. Towards
the end OF the article however, he ad-
mits that the road between Mapleton
and Fargo is in bad condition but
1t was unbeknown to the club. and
only seven or eight miles from Fargo.
Now IL such is the case and the roads
were in bad condition what reason has
he for making noise and getting
mad when anyone calls his attention
to a well known fact. If that Is not
q case Of bellyache, / would like to
know what Is.

noticed some little pimples coming on

attention, it soon became worse and
spread all over my hands. III would

they would burn like fire and large

IN them. After using al the salves I
could think OF, went to three different
doctors, but all did me no good. The
only relief ] got was scratching.
SO otter hearing SO much about the
wonderful Cuticura Remedies, pur-
them three days my hands were much
better. To-day my hands are entirely
well, one set being all used. (Signed1

WEDNESDAY, AUG. ., 1911.
N. o. CONGRESSMAN.

Tuesday President TAFT attached
his signature to the new COMPRESSION
al reapportionment measure, which
gives North Dakota a third congress-
man. North Dakota had one member
from statehood TIL decade ago. The
census OF 1900 gave the necessary in
crease in population for another mem
ber-but it was decided best not to
district the state and both members
have since been elected at large.
Under the increased population as
shown by the last census-North Da-
kota was entitled TO a third member.
Anticipating favorable action by con-
gress the last legislature divided the
state into three districts. The divi-
sion Is q monstrosity-but It must
stand, at least temporarily.
The total membership Of congress
ws1l, under the reapportionment DO
4ss-an increase Of forty-two over the
present membership of 3s1.
The new reapportionment will take
effect March 4. 1914. and will last un-
til the next census in 1920. The adj
ditional congressman will add $4,000
600 to Uncle Sans payroll.
That the increased apportionment
win be worth that amount seems
doubtful. As a legislative body-the
lower house is already too unwieldy
Increasing Its membership can only
make It more so.
Decreasing its present size--or even
retaining it--would cause a number
Of states to lose one or more congress-
men. It is too much to expect OF
human nature that they would con-
sent thereto. Placing the membership
at 433 causes no state to lose and at
the same time gives many of the
states additional representatives, which
is, of course, to their liking. Between
the states desiring to gain and the
states desiring not to lose-it was in
evitable that the membership would
be fixed at the ratio now decided
upon.
The first house Of representatives
under the present federal constitu-
tion was composed of sixty-five men,
bers and gradually increased since to
its present number.

WEST POINT VACANCIES.

Again the public's attention is drawn
to the fact that there are vacancies at
West Portland that the need of ca
diets to I'LL out the full quota allowed
by law is urgent.
What can have happened to young
America, that such truly golden OBJ
portunities are not seized? Or is IL
that the system is wrong? There are
studious and ambitious young men
who would be glad to go to West
Point but who-for one reason or an
otherN-are unable to do SO.
Perhaps the real answer is 20 be
found in the fact that the times are
too much commerciaiized. The young
man with courage enough to face the
severe tests which have to be con-
fronted at THE Point" knows that the
same degree OF application. in some
other direction, viii reap much larger
rewards--in the matter Of dollars and
cents. at least.
But 1t must be regarded as an evil
condition under which the best young
brains in the country are trained to
think only of pecuniary rewards. such
spirit--carried far enough-would
mean an end OF art and Of statesman
ship. of science ana of salvation itself.
The world would never have a good
sturgeon, nor a good physician, nor a
good painter. nor good writer-if the
dollar were to be regarded as the
thing best worth working for. One
might even go so far as to assert that
the country would be without good
men In any sphere-if recompense in
coin were the chief consideration.
The training at West Point is such
that II makes for the highest type Of
citizenship. 1t not only equips a
man for service in war. but it fits him
for 3 very complete performance Of
the duties OF civil life-i the event
that he may care to obtain an eduea-
ton at the military academy withoui
permanently following the fortunes Of
q soldier.
