cHINA,s DESTINY.

In no country has there been great
er change in the past 100 years than
in China. The recent change in gov
ernment marks an epoch in the world
as well as in the celestial empire.
The problems there have been little
understood even by those who have
Investigated the closest. The follow
ing paragraphs by a recent writer on
the subject viii be OF interest to Fo-
rum readers:
1t remains to be seen whether
China's democracy will stay put; yet
the success which has already attend
ed the cause Of the Chinese people is,
unquestionably, the most extraordi-
nary event of the war which is just
ending.
More than any other nation, not ex-
cluding Russia, China has appeared to
be a country of only two clearly de-
fined classes-the ruling and the de-
pendent classes. The most studious
travellers who have visited China down
to a comparatively recent date have
had much to say about what China
would mean in relation to other ma
tons if an awakening ever occurred.
1t has been demonstrated that the
Chinaman is a good fighter when he
has skiHful direction. The story of
Chinese" Gordon comes readily to
mind. But it has remained for facts
rather than theories, to proclaim TO
the world the revolt of the masses of
the Chinese people against minor
dynasty who have ruled for centuries,
and between whom and the Chinese
people there never has been any sym
pathy.
The philosophers and travellers will
continue to be wrong. in all probable
| ity, with respect to this numerous peo-
pie who have at last risen in arms. We
may now expect solemn predictions
| that when the Chinese have succeeded
in clearly defining their rights and
powers as a people, they viii enter
| into the affairs of the world as never
before, in both industrial and military
ways But those who know the Chi
nese best have held TO the conviction
that they are a peculiarly peace-Ioving
people.
The new pages which are being
turned in China, now that the year is
passing, will mean, likely, nothing
more than that great fraction of this
human race has begun. at last, to work
ont a higher, peaceful destiny.

life there when he was successful
business man of Chicago. The Indian
summers Of the state appealed TO him,
and year after year he had come to
US for his vacations. II was not so
much that he looked upon the prom
ised profit. Il was the breath Of the
people, the lure OF the prairtes which
called him, and he came TO make
Dawson his home. Other men In
North Dakota have amassed q com
petence and sought other climes in
which to spend the wealth that North
Dakota has given them. Colonel Tut

appeals to him, the life Of the heId

long ability to adapt himself to his
surroundings and a promise of con-
sentiment at any place he casts his lot,
he selected North Dakota as prornis-
ing most in the way OF pleasure in
coming years And has proved to
the business men Of the east that

kindly neighbor and good friend.
Colonel Tuttle. who lives at Dawson,
in Kidder county, has seen the state
develop with remarkable rapidity and
bis own enterprise has kept step with
the procession.
Colonel Tuttle was born in New
York state in November, 1S4T. AS the
guiding spirit of q grist mill, as a
railroad surveyor, as druggist in
bis native state, and later as q hard
ware merchant In Iowa, he displayed
those qualities which have awakened
such interest in later life among the
conquerors of the northwest. In the
grain markets OF the metropolis he
came close to the soil again, and
when he found that financial reward
khat viii be found attending the work
of men OF his type he decided that he
would prefer to spend the balance OF
mis- days In North Dakota, and he
came and has found more gladness
from his choice with each successive
year.

MONDAY. JAN. is. 1912.
a WEEK or CONVENTIONS.

The present week viii be a lively one
IN Fargo. The Grain Growers is i'm
portant enough for one week, bat in
addition to this. the corn contest comes
on. the poultry show. the home pro-
ducts display, and many other side
lines as well as the great gathering OF
democrats from all over the country.
Interest in agriculture is a very
valuable asset for any country. The
farmer is the backbone Of countrys
prosperity. His interests should be
conserved in every way possible Il
his profits can be increased, the busi-
ness man and those in professional
lines win also pe prosperous. Nc
greater incentive to better farming
can be found than the gatherings here
this week in the interest of the tillers
Of the soil. It behooves Fargo citi-
zens, as well as those from outside tc
attend these gatherings.
The democratic meeting is one OF
national importance. and will put
Fargo on the map as a center of po-
litical activity. The gathering will
probably have quite an effect on the
nominees OF that party in Baltimore
ia June.
Under these circumstances every
citizen of Fargo, no matter how hum
bic. should make strong efforts to see
that the visitors here this week have
not only good time but profitable
one. Little courtesies pay the givel
far more than the value to the recip.
lent Make this week one that every
visitor will long remember and be the
cause Of his desiring to come to Far
go on every possible occasion. That

Marine Corps Recruiting Station in

The U. S. marine corps recruiting
office in the Magill block of this city
has received orders from headquar

Many men are of the opinion that
they have to have their second papers

but such is not the case. All ex-
penses are paid by TIE government.
Recruiting has been poor so far this

CRIMES EFFECTS.


II is evident that there is much

made to place the handling of crime

How can help? How can widen
the power and influence of the hui

least, the question. This enthusiastic,

best humane literature we can send

cost of printing and paper. She sees
that her grocery boy, milkman, baker
the men who deliver goods of any kind
at her door, have each a copy of
Black Beauty and the Horses Prayer,
or whatever else might serve to in

they have the care.

who drove the Standard oil wagon a

at the same time of her interest m

Suppose every woman, anxious to
do something for the dumb creatures
who serve her directly or indirectly,
would follow some such plan as this,
