CHRISTMAS.


Christmas Is here 1t is the season
of JOY and gladness-when friendship
and good win are in evidence every.
where. 1t is the one day of the year
to which people attach the most i'm.
portance--and observe with the great
est care.
The day--while to modern chris
tians is means the observance OF the
anniversary Of the birth of Christ
really antedated by centuries the oc-
casion for which it is now mostly cell
ehrated. 1t was of pagan origin and
the celebrations were widely known in
Rome and elsewhere long before
Christ was born. The christians
quickly adopted the event as their own
as it occurred at the same time of the
year.
The celebration is now both reIig-
ious and secular. To the devout chris
tian the occasion has a most impor-
tant meaning every thorough be-
lever in Christ attaches deep sig
nihcance to the day.
In addition it is a joyous gift-giyinE
time--an occasion when presents are
exchanged between friends and rela-
tives-and the one time of the year
when there is in almost every persons
heart greater spirit of kindness and
good WILL Smiles and the best wishes
of the merry season are extended to
every one.
Other features are the family re-
unions and the general hospitality |
that is extended Christmas day and |
throughout the week. 1t is a period
Of homecoming and one of the great
est pleasures to the average man is
that Of again seeing his dear mother.
Fargoans should not-and will not
forget in their merry celebrations
that there are strangers in the city
who are so situated it will be impos-
sible for them to reach the homes of
relatives or friends. A little hospital
ity to these will never be forgotten by
the beneficiaries.
Then there are the unfortunate sick
In the hospitals To them-forced to
be absent from the family circles
the day will be especially long. A few
flowers or Christmas cards will help to
brighten the day for them.
Above al there are the poor little
children who may have no Christmas
1T all if you-yourself- not make it
a point to see that they do. Don't
forget these. Don't permit their
belief in Santa Claus-their hope
of the future-to be DESTROYED
on. this day of joy and glad
ness. The saddest picture imaginable
is the tear stained face of a sorrow
ing little child as 1t gazes on the emp
~ Christmas stocking.
The Forum wishes each of it's read
ers Merry Christmas-and all the /
good things Of the season.

A JANIToR RIDDEN COUNTRY.
It's Difficult to Get Fresh Air In the
schooIrooms.

~ GiHtSuat 10 6ot Fresh Air In the
SchooIroonns.
Detroit Free Press The campaign
for open air schools for tubercular
children in Detroit received some new
impetus at the public meeting held in
the Detroit operahouse. The principal
speaker was Sherman G. Kingsley,
formerly superintendent Of the Chicago
Associated Charities, and now In charge
OF the Elizabeth Mccormick Memorial
foundation, which has for its object
the establishment of fresh air schools.
Mr.. Kinsley illustrated his talk with
stereopticon views OF the open air
schools and pupils in his home city.
He remarked that q few years ago the
delinquent or subnormal child had no
place except the reform school to which
he could go for things that might in
terest himE
Talking Of ventilation, Mr.. KINGSLEY
remarked that teachers nearly all over
the country are dominated by the iani-
tors Of their schools.
/ ''This is a janitpr ridden country.
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1911-12-23

he said And the janitors have the
ventilating engineers on their side. In
one town in another state than this
teachers tried to open windows in their
rooms. They received anonymous let
tiers telling them that their jobs would
be in danger if they persisted.
In Chicago, with the aid of our en-
ergetic superintendent of schools, Mrs.
Ella Flagg Young, we are able to ao-
complish things. Mrs Young insists
that all windows in schools be opened
at least three times a day. It Is q
wrong idea to put children in school
rooms and teach them that the things
to do with windows Is to keep them
closed. Most OF them, particularly
those, from the poorer districts, learn
enough OF that at home"
Mr.. Kingsley said that tuberculosis
Is the biggest single cause OF poverty
In Chicago, and he made strong nIaa
for open air schools, not only for tuber
cular children, but for ali Children
whose health is below normal.

AND THE PEOPLE PAY THE BILL.

The state police will soon be mounted, three
thousand dollars having been appropriated for
the purpose Just what use will be made OF the
horses no one can satisfactorily explain. They
will be useful of course, to mount the govern
or's staff of mimic warriors ON parade duty, but
would they be Of any service in the event OF
trouble in Ely Tonopah Goldfeld, Las Vegas,
Winnemucca Elko or any town in the state eX-
cept Carson City. The state police was organ
lied for one purpose and one purpose only
TO deal with situations that the local peace of
fcers cannot handle.
Whenever the state police attempt to usurp
the authority of sheriff that is doing his best
to preserve law and order in his county, Just
then will the death knell Of that organization
be rung The state needs an armed force to
preserve order and enforce the law when the
local authorities are unable or unwilling to
perform the duties of their officers; but occa-
sions of this nature are not likely to arise IN
Nevada more than once or twice in decade
and to keep more men the force than will
suffice for the nucleus Of a fighting organization
is ridicuoas to mount them is assnine.
The cost Of keep for the horses would pay
about one-ffth of the salary Of the force re
quired in quiet times Should the force be
called into action the horses would be useless
1t would seem that the state police IS to
be made a dress parade organization; II such Is
the case no time should be lost in turning i
bunch over to the gentle administrations OF
the headsmen.-Ely Expostor.

AN OIL TRUST POSSIBILITY

foothOld in Guatemala 10 make themselves
practically masters of the unquiet Republic The
Senator Clark syndicate as was announced some
days ago, has all the metal mining concessions
that Guatemala has TO offer. That syndicate
will do all the mining for metal in Guatemala
the syndicate gets its machinery and men on
the ground. 1t is an enormous concession, from
which Guatemala ought to receive very great
wealth; but the probability is that the pres-
dent who granted the concession will himself
be the recipient Of what is paid
The Trbme's special dispatch yesterday
morning announced that, following the mining
concession granted to Clark syndicate, the J. p
Morgan interests have obtained the complete
control of the petroleum rights in the Republic
of Guatemala There has not heretofore been
any great stir made about the discovery pro-
duction of oil in Guatemala There is, in fact,
no mention in the ordinary works of reference
of oil found at all in that country. This does
not necessarily imply, however, that oil may not
be found there in more or less quantities, much
less does it imply that oil companies could not
be proftably organized in Guatemala. On the
contrary, it is just possible that Guatemala, by
reason of liberal concessions, loose laws, and
lax administration, might be found to be an
admirable place for the headquarters of such a
corporation as the Standard Oil company, with
liberty to do business III its own way III every
country in the world. 1t might be made an az
mrabe home for such company, one out of
reach of annoying antitrust laws and stern and

FATHERS DAY.

Now comes the suggestion that the third
Sunday in June be observed Fathers Day,
the second Sunday in May having been made
Mothers Day. 1t is proposed to dedicate at
least twenty-four hours each year to contem
pation Of the part that father has had in the
sum of the worlds happiness and comfort
But somehow the movement is not meeting
with encouraging response. Father himself
seems opposed to it. He knows that mother
is deserving Of all the honor that can be done
her and he is willing to help pay her nstinted
tribute; but when it comes to himself he balks
He is strongly ayerse to having a fuss made
over him.
Fathers business is to provide for mother
and that he will keep doing with solicitude
for her and the children and without looking for
any sort of praise or glory, other than the SUI
preme satisfaction that the loved ones in his de-
pendence have all that his effort can give to
them
In those old volumes of sentimental poetry
that lie beside the Bible and the album on the
center table we find no rhymes turned about
father He has never inspired the bard We
hear no soft. sweet songs of his Bonded back
and silver hair. He has never thrilled the soul
of harmony. Now and then some jingler or
jokester makes him the butt of ragtime wit, but
even this distortion of art in his honor is
ephemeral and feeting. SO he plods along-to
office, factory or feld-and he wants to be let
alone.
He is willing that poets refrain from sobbing
over him. that eulogums be devoted to others
and that the wreaths of laurel be left I'M
plucked He will continue to discourage the
proposal of Fathers Day, but this is no rea-
son why the recognition that is certainly due
him should not be spread over the 363 days
of the year.-Sacramento Union.

pipes also made big hit, and
taking the act, all in all, it is the

and the management is to be con

will appear again tonight.

Giving up all hope of securing conviction
owing to the death of two important witnesses
for the prosecution the district attorney of
Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, last week moved the
dismissal Of sxty-two graft indictments found
against members of the common council. An
other reason assigned by him for making
motion was that the sentiment in the community
had veered around as to the graft prosecution.
Three judges occupied the bench at the time,
and the motion to dismiss the indictments was
unanimously granted The Pittsburg graft scan
dial promised at one time to assume greater pro-
portions than that of San Francisco The for
