SALOON DOMINATION HOLDS THE
COUNTY BACK.
One reason why St. Mary's County
has been left behind so far in the de-
veiopment OF the state is because IL has
q bad reputation as a liquor-dominat
% county. This tends to keep out
many settle rs and much capital. People
are going into the Eastern Shore coun-
ties and new enterprises are being start
90 because there are no saloons and
therefore no labor troubles Salisbur
on the Eastern Shore made the largest
gain OF any town in the State OF Mary
land as shown by the last census. The
business men there are a unit against
the return Of saloons
His Eninenca Cardinal Gibbons has
declared publicly for local option for
Southern Maryland.
FOR POPULAR RULE INSTEAD OF
SALOON RULE.
The Anti-Saloon League fs not trying
70 get the people OF 81. Mary's County
TO do something that will benefit some
body somewhere else but the League,
representing the temperance people Of
the entire state without reference to
party or domination. Is trying to pass
q law that will dow the peoule Of st.
Mary's County wGaxsFn themselves
and run their own p0gsties instead OF be-
ing governed and ruled by the city brew
cries and aud distiIleries that supply
the saloons of the county.
There are many men selling liquor in
st. Mary's County today who are doing
II solely to protect their other trade
against the competition of men who sell
liquor. but who would be glad to have
II ell stopped so they could do clean
or business.
We don't ask yon to take our word
for it. The League will send absolutely
Tree copy Of the full text Of the local
option bill with full explanation Of 1t to
any person who sends a stamp to cover
the postage.
We believe that Senator wilkinson
and hessrs John r Garner and Walter
Dorsey your Representatives in the
House OF Delegates, will support the To-
cal option bill II they believe that the
people OF the county wish them to do
so. aud IL Ia only fair to TIL them 80
either personally or by letter. because
the liquor men have already made their
wishes knewn.

BY RAIL UP POPOCATEPETL.
From Mexico City to Crest of Vol.
cano in Two Hours.

from the Mexican Herald
From the city of Mexico to the top of
Mount Popocatepl in two hours. From
balmy air to temperature of 20 degrees
below zero in 40 minutes 1t sounds like
dream, but DIR. F. S. Pearson is now
planning a railway to the snow crowned
crest IL 500 feet above sea level, which
will make the dream come true. Not
only that. but a trolley line from the
capital of Puebla will be constructed
which Will be able to carry passengers
over in two hours and half
DR.. Pearson said recently that the
final surveys on the Mexico-Puebla and
Mexico-Toluca lines had been stopped
owing to the disturbed conditions In the
country, but that soon as peace had
been restored finally the work would be
continued. The construction of the
Puebla route will be started as soon as
the surveys have been finished, and 1t is
possible that work on both lines will be
commenced at the same time.
The railway to Puebla will pass be-
tween Popocatepet and Ixtaccihuati.
reaching an altitude of more than "a. 600
feet. well within the snow line. 1t is the
route followed by Cortez when the con-
queror first entered the valley of Mexico,
and from II may be seen some Of the
most beautiful scenery In the world.
Branching from this line DIR. Pearson
proposes TO build road to the summit
of the great smoking mountain" which
was worshiped from afar by the AZtecS.
Ihis, however. will come later, the first
object being TO give the people of Mexico
and Puebla quick communication. The
coaches used on this route are to have
double windows and be heated by elec-
tricity.
Every other car in the train is to have
motors controlled by the driver in the
cab On the up grades the trains will
make speed OF forty miles an hour but
IN places IN the descent the speed will be
reduced TO twenty miles.
DR.. Pearson said that the railway con-
Meeting MADEIRA with the south would
be finished by February -. giving a
direct route from Chihuahua TO Ell Pasc
through the Sierra Madre country.

essary repairs to the quay made 1t

against the Taft administration, seek
ing some means Of d~iscrediting the
president; and chief of these is Mr..
Pinchot, smarting still from the rebuke
received when he was turned out Of
the presidents official family.
The Alaska syndicate, also known
as "the Guggenheiras, are the offend
ers Mr.. Pinchot refers to. This syn
dictate has invested some $25,OO0,e00 in
the north. and Mr.. Pinchot and his
friends pretend to see something sin
lister in the circumstance.
But the record is against them. II
the Guggenheims are "grabbers' ana
the men responsible FOR the Corrupt
ing alliance of money and politics."
the grabbing was done during the last
Roosevelt administration. and the
"corrupting alliance" il one exists,
was effected before Mr.. Taft became
chief executive of the country.
The Copper River & Northwestern
railroad, the Guggenheims, did get
some government land, 1,63s.s2 acres,
to be exact. Some of it was at Cor
dovas some at Katalla, a tract at Ka-
ITALIA Junction, some at Chitina and
some at Strelna. But it was all OBJ
tanned in 1906, when Theodore Roose-
welt was president and clifford Pinchot
chief forester Of the United States.
Not n acre has the syndicate Sc
cured since March 4, 1909, the date of
Mr.. Taft's inauguration. What it has
done, however, is to turn back, by re-
linauishing, under the Taft admins
t~ration, a total of 282.53 acres at Cor
dova and PIT acres at Katalla.
This is the record, but it is a rec
ord from which Clifford Pinchott does
not quote. He prefers g~eneralities,
half truths and falsehoods.
What is needed is something con-
.structive, which the Taft adrninistra-
ton is offering in the programme Of
Secretary Fisher. Mr.. Pinchot's
mouthings at the ~Guggenheim DOGGY
will build no roads, railroads or light
houses. open no mines, settle no lands,
nor relieve any of A1aska's ills. He
is only aggravating conditions already
intnlerable.

THE DEMOCRATS.

Some OF the most prominent leaders
of the great democratic party are to
be in Fargo today. and tomorrow.
The Forum has been opposed to the
party ever since its inception, but it is
glad to extend a welcome to these gem
tlemen to the biggest little city in the
country.
Many bright lights win be here
men Of influence and power-it is to
be regretted that in politics they are
in error-according to the verdict OF the
nation for many years at the polls
It is hoped that they will have ar
agreeable conference, profitable FOR
their party, and that they will be so
well treated in the way of hospitality
that they win want to return, not only
for another visit, but to make their
homes here.
Fargo can welcome democrats as cit
liens, as when they come here some see
the error of their ways and become
good republicans. 1t is in the air
Possibly some may be converted even
during their short stay here.

CORN GROWING.


The most telling phrase ever used
against North Dakota was the line
which some of the central railroads
used thirty ago, on all their lit
erature-"You are a long ways from
home when you get where corn won't
grow
It set many a contemplating immi-
grant thinking seriously, and believing
1t was gospel truth, he changed his
plans, and Iowa, Kansas or Nebraska
secured him as a citizen.
Then North Dakota was exploiting
wheat as its great crop. Men hocked
here TO grow wheat, and expected to
return to their former homes in a few
years independently wealthy.
The northern part Of the territory
OF Dakota was not considered as a
place OF homes, but simply a place to
sojourn for a few years. This idea
came into existence because of the corn
phrase as much as anything.
Today North Dakota is a state OF
homes. The people here are here to
stay-nct because they cannot sell out
and leave. but because they love the
state, appreciate it's opportunities, and
know that nowhere else can the money
they can obtain for their property here
be better invested than in this com.
monwealth.
One thing which has assisted in
bringing this change about is corn.
Nobody can see the exhibit Of corn
now being held in this city, and not
thoroughly realize how false now at
least is the irnputation OF former years
that corn won't grow in North Dakota.
1t is a r~evelatio n even to the farmer
and the business man here-the sue
cess achieved by careful selection OF
seed and varieties, and good cultiva-
ton. ~
With the growing OF corn, ZONES the
cow, tn hog. the chickens-diversi-
fled farming in reality, with all the
wealth which 1t brings to the commun-
ity in which It is undertaken. This is
one Of the lessons OF the corn show
now on in this city.

COST OF THE M

The Forum has always been opposed
to the primary election, claiming that
it was in favor Of either the rich man
or the knave-especiaily in it's state
wide application. 1t has presented this
view before it's adoption in this state
Notwithstanding the fact that it gives
the opportunity for large expenditures
to the newspapers in assisting candi-
dates to get the publicity desired. II
believes that better candidates were
selected by the old convention system
and at less expense than under the
primaries.
In this connection it is interesting
to read the following washington dis
patch, which appeared yesterday in The
Grand Forks Herald:
The committee which investigates
charges that Senator Stephenson OF
Wisconsin, had secured his election by
improper use Of money. is soon to
make q report which will give a black
y to the direct primary system IN
operation in that and other states. Il
is the opinion of the committee tina
primary elections SO stoutly advocated
by progressive republicans, do not give
q fair chance to the man of SINAI
means, but in reality are more expen.
siye to candidates than the old system
of naming candidates.
This means, according to the com
mittee view, that in direct primary
states only rich men ma aspire t
the senate and other big offices. Thi.
the committee win say. has beer
thoroughly demonstrated through tn,
Stephenson hearings.
The report generating Stephenson
viii reach the senate not much aheat
of the report dealing with Senator
Lorimer's alleged corrupt practices
An interesting fact in this connection
liz that while Stephenson with a IA.
vorable report in preparation for hin
actually swore to expanding 500. O0t
In the primaries, the prosecution hal
been straining every effort to
that Lorimer in an old-fashioned cleo.
