WHAT WILL FARGO DO?

Friends are cheap and easy to find
when the sun is shining. The friends
who will be friends when storms come
are all that really count.
Millions are starving in old China.
America claims to be the friend of all
the DOR and suffering in all the
world. Some cities have taken steps
to make this claim g~ood-have spent
money that will at least save thou
sands among the millions who are
coming closer and closer to death by
the torture of starvation.
What has Fargo done?
Nothing--but talk a little, feel sorry
and forget about it.
There's time still. The famine will
not end until the middle of May.
Money sent to the international Bank
ing corporation, New York or San
Francisco. will be cabled to China
promptly. Three dollars will. keep a
man at work for a month and support
his family.
Fargo has done nothing. What will

officers, appointed a month ago at a
conference at the suggestion of Judge
Gary of the United States Steel cor
poration has the. matter under inves-
tigation.
Railroad officers have complained
that rails are not made strong enough
Tor the heavy equipment now used and
the high speed maintained on some
lines, owing to defects in the steel in
gots from which they are made. These
ingots from the way in which they are
moulded necessarily have a certain
amount Of what is called piping" in
the apex, and the part containing this
has to be discarded before the rails
are rolled. 1t is alleged that in the
effort to keep down the cost Of manu-
facture while maintaining the pool
price" the railmakers do not cut off.
enough of the defective part of the
ingot. On the other hand, the makers
allege that the railroads have been
demanding too much carbon in the
material in order to harden the rails
9nd make them wear longer under the
heavy usage to which they are put,
n this makes them brittle and Ii
able to break suddenly after a few
months of the tremendous hammering
to which they are subjected.
This is a matter that ought to be
by some competent authority,
and rails should be made with a view
to the utmost safety and not to econo-
my either for the steel companies or
the railroads. 1t is for the interest of
the railroads to have this done, for
they are liable to loss and damage
which may entirely outweigh any ad-
ditional cost, while the steel compa-
MES take little risk and nay find ad-
vantage in having rails short-lived.
But there is a third party which is of
more consequence than either of these.
That is the general public of passen-
gers and shippers Of goods, who have
no interest at stake except the safety
of their persons and property, and who
be adequately compensated for
accidents by damage suits. 1t is 1ot
a matter to be left entirely to the SELL
ers and buyers of rails. Public au-
has some responsibility for the
of a railroad service.

RAILS N WRECKS.

The frequency with which railway
wrecks have occurred during the win
ter months has resulted in a great deal
Of comment on their causes. One Of
the most common given out is that de-
fective rails were responsible. North
Dakota had two experiences Of this
kind a few weeks ago, both on the
Great Northern. National attention
is being attracted to the matter and
something may be gained by the in
v~estigations to be made. The New
York journal Of Commerce had the
following editorial:
There have been an unusual, not to
say alarming, number of accidents OF
late on some Of the best equipped rail-
roads in the country. those of heavy
trains and high speed. The cause is
too often shrouded in obscurity, but
that which threw the Twentieth Cen
fury Limited into the frozen Hudson
river on Wednesday, to the peril Of
many lives which almost l~iiTaculously
escaped, was promptly attributed to a
broken rail. There has been much con-
trcversy for months past regarding de-
feets in the heavy rails now used on
most main line railroads. and a COM
nlittee of railroad and steel company

the bitter struggle brought to a close
in North Dakota Monday. In this
connection he said: 1.-THE struggle in
North Dakota between Roosevelt and
LaFollette for delegates to the nation
al republican convention to be elected
at the first presidential primary held
in the history OF this country has
been unprecedented and most un-
seemly.
Nothing approaching it has ever
been witnessed before. 1t should
serve as a lesson and so impress the
American people with the shame as
well as the faIlacy of this method OF
men to choose candidates for the office
of chief executive of a great nation
that no other state should follow the
example or afford an opportunity to
further drag the great office of presi-
dent through the mIre of ward pol
itics as it has been lone in North Da-
kota.
mo contest comparable to this be-
tween men seeking the nomination
for president has been witnessed since
the beginning of the republic. True, it

state, but suppose all the state should
adopt this plan of selecting delegated
to our national c~onventios. how much
more unseemly, how much more Bit
ter, how much greater would be the
opportunity for the charge Of fraud
and corruption in order to becloud the
title of the successful candidate and
defeat his election.
THE bitterness which sweeps like
a blizzard ros the prairies of the
North Dakota would be like a mid
summer breeze as compared with the
strife and the storm Of bitterness that
would sweep the whole ountry should
presidential primaries become national.
Under these circumstances how long
would the people retain their respect
for the great office of president of the
United States and what choice would
n successful candidate in a conven-
ton thus chosen have of being elected?
Therefore, in view Of our experience
under the first presidential primary
held in this country should We not
ask ourselves the question, Whether
are we drifting in our mad desire for
populist reform, whether toward the
haven Of the ultimate safety or out on
the open sea where the mighty waves
OF populism and demagoguery will
ultimately engulf the republic

Daddy Bedtirne
~ The Little Slave
AOTOYV- Boy Who Became
Irelands Saint
His Master Sent Him
80 Tend Sheep.

%%ERENCE, the gardener, had asked for a day or that he might tks
part in the st. Patneks day parade.
Parades always interested Jack and Evelyn, and So Of course,
when daddy came in they wanted to know about st Patrick.
"st Patrick" said. daddy, was the great and good mar who taught ths
people Of Ireland to be Christians Before he preached to them the Irish
had a religion that taught them many wrong and cruel things.
est Patrick was not N Irshman. Some people think he was born in
Rome His real birthday is not known. and so the 18th of March has been
set aside as his day.
When he was a boy of sixteen he was carried or and sold a a slave IN
ireland. Although he wa a well brought up lad, his wild Irish master set him
to work to mind his pigs In the mountains.
"For seven long years St Patrick tended the herds Of the Irish chief, and
then he had a chance to run away. He got over to France and very likely
made his way home although not a great deal is known of his early life. You
see, St Patrick wa born over 1900 years ago, when few books were written
and non were printed, seeing that printing had not then come into use.
"His lonely life and the hard times he had had in Ireland as a slave made
St Patrick a very serious young man. Whenever he thought of the beautiful
land he had left with its kind, clever yet wild and uncvlzed people, he
longed to go back and teach them better
$50 ST. Patrick made up his mind that he would be d priest, and for
twenty long years he studied TO at himself to be q missionary.
1.-THE head of the church heard OF his wish, and when he learned that ST.
Patrick waso of all men living most fitted to teach the Irish, since staying for
seven years in ireland he had learned the habits OF the people and how to
speak to them in their own language, he readily gave his help to send him
back
"st Patrick went to ireland, and no missionary was ever more kindly re-
hgion and became Christians. All over Ireland even to this day. are pointed
out pools Of water now called holy wells in which St Patrick baptized the
people aa
ut is said that St Patrick loved the little three leafed clover which the
Irish all he shamrock he used it in his teachings, and to this day the little
plant, st. Pahicks shamrock, is the best loved plant in the whole of Ireland,
and when we speak Of IL we always think Of Ireland and St. Patrick"

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 20, 1912.
TO HELP FARGO.

II Fargo is to be made bigger, better
way. It's up to all the people-no
matter of what professions or trades
--tf get together. Every movement
that will help to build up the city
should be pushed. The efforts to up
build must be concentrated.
The strongest feature in making
Fargo a great city is publicity-but the
publicity must be the right kind. 1t
must be based on exact facts and fig
ures. 1t must prove to strangers-to
unsatisied people living in other Sec
ttons-to ambitious people Of the
crowded eastern cities-that Fargo is
the ideal city in which to live. 1t
must be shown that comfortable homes
can be purchased and rented reason
ably-that the tax rate is equitable
that the wage rate is fair-that the
schools are adequate-that the water
supply is pure-that police and
fire protection are ample.
Fargo is widely known as a conven-
ton city. This reputation must be
maintained. One of the imperative
necessities is an auditorium. Good
hotels and a lot Of them are equally
essential. Fargo has the latter. The
auditorium seems an absolute GER
tainty.
No other city in the northwestern
for that matter in the entire country
has the rich territory behind it that
Fargo possesses. In fact Fargo must
grow to keep pace with the rest of the
state. The population of North Da-
kota has jumped by leaps and bounds
while Fargo's progress has been less
rapid. Now is the time for the city
to catch up with the main procession
to take the lead.
Fargo is the financial, commercial
and educational center of the state.
1t is headquarters for things federal.
It is a city of homes-a healthy and
sanitary ~city-its death rate is low.
It's tax rate is high-but that is be-
cause of the great amount of public
improvements, which will be perma-
nently beneficial to all classes.
Fargo. is, not a city of colossal pri-
vate fortunes-hut one of general pros
perity. It's banking institutions are
safe and sound. The c~learings show
the great business done here-making
this city rival those in the east Of 50
to 100000 population. The postofice
receipts show gratifying increases
each month. The real estate market
is active. the retail business is good.
The public schools rank among the
highest.
With these acknowledgements the
unlimited possibilities for this part of
the great northwest-why should not
Fargo greatly increase in population
during t, next year or two?
United effort along constructive
lines will get the results. The COM
mereiaI club is working theoretically
along safe and sane lines-and under
skilled and experienced leadership. It
needs your cooperation. United and
harmonious efforts-with every man
willingly and enthusiastically doing
his share will get resuIts-will make
the bigger, better and buster Fargo.

AS predicted in The Forum several
days ago LaFollette has secured the
largest number Of votes in North Da-

seems certain the electors and national
delegates In his favor have also been
chosen.
The returns show that former Con-
gresham Marshall has been chosen

The only spirited contest among the
democrats was over national commit
teeman and it may require some time
to determine the successful candidate
for that position.
