and SURE WAY
TO CURE COLDS
DON'T NEGLECT A COLD, ELY's
CREAM BALM WILL STOP 1T
IN THE SNEEZlNG STAGE.

A cold generally attacks the weakest
part, affecting the eyes and ears in
some and producing nasal catarrh and
throat troubles in others. A cold is
due to an inflammation Of the MEM
brane lining the air passages. and
may be promptly cured with a little
Ely's Cream Balm, which Immediately
relieves the Inflammation and all the
distressing symptoms, such as sneez-
ing, coughing. running at the nose and
eyes,, h-oarseness, sore throat, fever and
headache. One reason why this pure,
antiseptic Balm acts so quickly is be-
cause it is applied directly to the ten
der, sore surfaces.
Even in severe, chronic cases of a
tarrh, Ely's Cream Balm never fails
to quickly and effectually check the
poisonous discharge which clogs the
head and throat, causing the disgust
ing hawking, splitting and blowing Of
the nose. This remedy not only drives
out the disease, but heals and strength
ems the weakened membranes, thus
ending catarrh.
Catarrh Is a filthy, disgusting dis
ease. Don't put up with 1t another
day. Get a 50-cent bottle of Ely's
Cream Balm from your druggist and
see how quickly you will be relieved.

Tough NEGROES.

Fargo has some very excellent types
of negroes. There are some old and
more recent colored residents in Far
go, who are intelligent. industrious and
prosperous and make most excellent
citizens. This class of colored people
receives a warm welcome and their
efforts to improve their condition are
encouraged.
There is another elass-and unfor-
tunately a very large one-of tough,
transient negroes. The number of
these has increased annually until this
year it is much in excess of all former
seasons. This class is largely a reck-
less. wandering, irresponsible crowd,
looking for trouble and usually finding
It.
While the negroes form only a rela-
lively small proportion of the popula-
ton Of Fargo-they make from so to
so per cent OF the criminal record of
the city. Even this faIE-with all the
tough transient white men-the ne
groes have predominated in the courts.
OF thirty prisoners now in the
county jail, 1t is reported that sixteen
were colored men. The percentage of
cases in the police court-especially on
petty cases-is much larger.
The tough negroes on lower Front
street have frequent shooting affairs,
some Of which result fatally. 1t Is up
to the Fargo and Cass county officials
to secure better control Of this turbu-
lent and criminal element. They are
a constant menace to the peace of the
city. They give Fargo a bad name by
their criminal acts.
They also retard the progress of the
better element Of the negroes. The
latter can never advance with such
a handicap as the 1awless element that
has been committing crimes in Fargo
this fall.

COVE RNoR HANNA.

The people of North Dakota. are to
De congratulated on their excellent
Judgment in electing Hon. l.. B. Hanna
governor. The indications are that the
final returns will show he has more
votes than all three Of his opponents
combined. Hellstrom, the democratic
nominee, ran second. Mayor Sweet of
Fargo, the bull moose candidate, ran
even more weakly than his opponents
had given him credit. His vote IL a
distinctive disappointment. Bowen,
the. socialist candidate. received the
normal vote Of his organization.
The Forum takes a pardonable pride
in the victory of Mr.. Hanna. 1t was
the first paper to advocate his candi-
dacy for governor and has been a.
consistent booster for his nomination
land election.
More thar a year ago The Forum
,editorially urged Mr.. Hanna to. get
into the race for governor. It be-
Heyed Mr.. Hanna was the man of the
hour-the man who would be able -
reclaim the state from the democratic
administration Of the last six years.
1t was pointed out that Mr.. Hanna's
long and clean political n personal
record-his wide business experience
and his temperamental qualifications
were such as to admirably equip him
, for the position Of the states execu-
tive.
The results indicate the people Of
North Dakota had the same view Of
! Mr.. Hanna'sl fitness that The Forum
held for such a long period.
The Forum predicts Mr.. Hanna will
give this state q clean. business like
and economical administration. It
also feeis sure he will give ali ele-
meits a square deal
Mr.. Hanna's victory is all the more
noticeable because of the fact that the
state has gone democratic. 1t shows
the remarkable personality of the man
ana the confidence the people OF North
Dakota have in his ability to make
good.
Along with Mr.. Hanna the voters
have chosen the entire republican
state ticket. This insures harmony
and team work at Bismarck-and
predicates an economical adminisera-
Futon Of the affairs of North Dakota.

both branches and the party now has

THE MUNICIPAL NEWSPAPER.

Since the people have found out the
government Of municipalities Is a most
vital misunderstanding the daily life
and the interests of A large proportion
Of the people, more than office-holders
and politicians-they are thoughtfuIly
considering the best way to govern
the towns and cities.
People in the cities are coming to
their senses and studying those dues
tions which relate to city government.
They have gone 80 far in some Of the
cities as to establish and maintain
publications which deal with those
matters that affect city government.
Chattanooga issues a monthly mu-
nicipal journal, which is devoted TO
municipal governmental which the
citizens discuss live and pertinent
questions. Houston, Tex, publishes a
m1nthly Of similar character, as do
seve. al other cities.
The municipality of Los Angeles
publishes a weekly newspaper of
twelve pages, which carries advertise
ments, editorials, contributions-and
other appropriate matter, and which
is called The Weekly Los Angeles
Municipal News.
This paper was established by au-
thority Of a city ordinance submitted
to the voters of the city.
Each political party polling 8 per
cent of the city's vote is allowed one
column in each issue free of censor
ship. The several parties in that city
are now using the space allotted to
them-and are discussing whatever
questions they desire. The parties in
cluded In this list are the republican,
democratic. socialist-labor and good
government.
The editorial policy Of the paper is
determined and directed by the city
officials.
An interesting and instructive fea-
ture of the paper is the. service OF
two special writer's, who take oppo-
site views on questions relating to
city government.
The publication has a circulation Of
s {, 000-but this, with the advertising
it carries-leaves a deficit Of $700 a
week, which the city pays.
This experiment has not yet beer
demonstrated to be a success-tnougf
it may finally become a paying insti.
tuition and a lasting benefit.

EXPRESS MONOPOLY BROKEN.

IA, change of great Importance to the
people Of the United States will come
at the beginning of next year when
the parcels post. recently authorized
by congress, is instituted.
The extension Of the business of the
postoffice department, as a result Of
the establishment of this opposition
to the regular express companies, will
be tremendous. 1t is estimated that
1.-THE postal routes over which parcels
will be carried will be at least 1,000,-
600 miles in length. 1t Is the aim to
carry 4 large proportion of the par
GELS now transported by the private
express companies, up to eleven
pounds in weight.
The establishment Of the parce!
post is a severe blow to the express
companies. There we're a few years
ago eighty five . such companies in
pperation-but the business is now
practically controlled by four. These
nreg the Adams, American, United
States and Wells, Fargo & Co. Five
years ago these four companies COW
cred s7.5 per cent of the total ex-
press mileage and earned 90 per cent
of the gross and 1913 per cent of the
net receipts of all the express com
paSies. In 1907 the total earnings Of
all the express companies were $685.
i1a,iT6, and their expenses amounted
60 $115.OSS,2 o4.
THAT there is immense profit in the
express business is demonstrated by
the fact that the American Co. in 1909
-with d capitalization Of SIS. 900. 900,
had xross earnings of $31,s0s, 721, and
n net income Of $s.S23.21s. The earn
