FAVORS WIDER STREET
DR.. r. {. Ball Makes Statement Giving
His Opinion Regarding Pre-
posed Paving.

TO The Forum: I understand from
the best business men in the city OF
Fargo that the cost of a thirty foot paw
ing and a twenty -six- foot paving will
be practically the same, as there will
be no expense of changing catch
basins, filing In curbing and other ex-
penses to offset the difference in the
cost Of paving material.
It is the sentiment Of the best busi-
ness men as far as can learn. that
the city Of Fargo, as a whole, does not
want any more wood paving. Let us
get together as lovers Of Fargo, and
insist upon wide streets and good paw
ing. Beautify, and your property is
worth more money. F. Il. Ball

Keen the Machine In Renair.

Think for a moment. A man who
would no more run his motorcar on
debated tires or with sand In the gear
box than he would use sulphuric acid
for motive power will keep going right
on at his business when the tread of
his own physical mechanism is fiatten-
ing out and the gear box Of his mind is
filling with the wrong kind of grit
The impatient optimism that shakes
off a vague oppression with the assur-
ance "I'll be all right tomorrow" has

correct bad condition by persisting in
the things that cause it. You will only

Forced POSTAGE STAMINA

Bad money and spurious banknotes
are as common as sparrows, but forg-
ed postage stamps are seldom heard
of. The most glaring case Of stamp
forgery in Great Britain occurred in
1872 and 1878. and it's origin has never
been discovered. In those days the
minimum rate for telegraphic mes
sages was 1 shilling. and the stamps
that were forged were all for such
amount, each being passed through
the Stock Exchange telegraphic Office
One Of the principal reasons against
postage stamp forgery is the keenness
Of phflatelists. The vigilance Of the
collector would speedily bring to light
the existence of any faulty stamps
Of the many thousands of varieties of
stamps issued. only about 100 are
known to have been forged. and these
specimens have usually been skillfully
faxed more with the object Of trap
ping the collector than robbing the
postal uthOrities.-London Standard.

Congressman William Joseph Cary
Of Wisconsin, who agrees with Post
master General Hitchcock that Uncle
Sam should own the telegraph and
telephone lines, has introduced a bill
with that object in view. Mr.. Cary is
a Republican of the progressive brand.
During the famous uprising against
Speaker Cannon he was a leading in
surgent and is distinguished in other
ways. 1t is said that he mails more
free documents than any man in the
house and that his main diversion is
chewing tobacco.
A native of Milwaukee, his youthful
days were filed with hardships. At
the age of thirteen he was left an
orphan with other children and began
work as a messenger boy, the younger
children being placed in an asylum.
At eighteen he was a telegraph oper-
ator and at nineteen he took the
younger children from the orphan asy-
lum and gave them home. The flu
ture congressman got into politics by
being elected an alderman in Milwau-
kee Next he was chosen sheriff and
at the first trial Of the Wisconsin pri-
mary election law was nominated and
elected to congress- Congressman Cary
is forty-seven years old and is serving
his third term.

CRISIS IS DUE in
TEXTILE STRIKE

Lawrence, Mass.-A crisis is due in
the strike of the $4,000 men, women
and children of the textile mills. Fol
lowing an attack by the police and
militia upon the children, who
were to have left the city to be cared
for by citizens of Philadelphia and
Providence, the strikers feel that now
something from the outside, probably
the federal government, must come to
rescue them from state and civil out
laWry.
The city officials have given back
to the parents most Of the children
who were taken in charge as they
were about to be placed ON train en-
route for Philadelphia.
The strike leaders and some of the
parents declare that they have legal
right to send their children away for
a vacation. At the poor farm, on the
other hand, the officials said that
when the parents called for their
children they said they had surren-
dered them under misapprehension.

Immediately arose and went to the
shed, and discovered. party leaving

to halt, but the party who had been
helping himself to the city's coal kept
on going and was part way out of the
door when Chief Wig shot at him. The
bullet passed through the building,
the fleeing man being astraddle the
partition, and entered his leg which
was outside. The chief then easily
