THE EDITORS.

The editors and publishers Of the
state are here for their annual con
vsntton, considering business matters
and the problems which daily confront
them. There is a large attendance
for which Fargo is thankful; in fact
the city hopes that every newspaper
man in the state can make it nven-
lent to take in this event.
The editor is not a high brow" he
is generally a good business man, but
he has rarely gone into the publishing
lire with the idea that he can secure
a competency therein; it is more be-
cause he likes t. be in "the swim" and
he has inherently in him the desire to
build up.
There is no class of men in the state
who without money and without price
do so much to build up as the editors.
To be sure they get something in in
direct returns, but are generally at the
tail of even this succession of events
which their own efforts have started
and fostered so carefully.
There is no state in the union with
better local papers than North Dakota
can boast of. They would be a credit
TO the older and more thickly settled
states. The main reward they obtain
il the approval of their consciences.
Their monument, however, is the up
building of their home towns and the
state.
There are those, however, who pre-
fer some enjoyment in this life, in
stead of a monument after death, but
SC this is desired it is generally safer
To change to some other occupation.
They are somewhat to blame for this
condition, as it is in their power to
educate the people to different views
thar those now entertained.
The man who ~subscribes for a paper
does not pay his money for nothing
he gets far more than his moneys
worth. The merchant or business mar
who places an advertisement in tht
paper does not contribute to charity
by this act. but If his advertisement ii
well written and is honest, he gets re.
turns far i n excess of his expenditure
There is no charity around q newspa.
per office, except what the publisher
contributes.
The editors are welcome here fol
their convention; Fargo will try t.
see they have a good time-when i
will not interfere with their business
sessions; the mayor win give you tn,
keys Of the city; If you don't get wha
you want, ask for it. A royal wei
come is yours, and the business inter
ests OF the city through the CONNER
cial club, ask you to be their guests
The Forum is proud Of the city, an,
believes that each one of you will b
when you get an opportunity to in
spect it. Let your slogan be-build u
your own town, and then build for tn
entire state. North Dakota for Mort
Dakotans.

10. THE POOR JoLoAN.
Policy of General Pershins in Dealing
With the Moros.


st. Louis Times: The fact that Cen
eral Pershing has decided that the
natives of the island OF Jolo, in the
southern Philippines, shall be disarm-
ed, has been taken as ground for an
other attack by the coffee-cooling ele-
ment among Journalists upon the sol
diers who are trying to maintain peace
in our island possessions.
This attitude clearly indicates ig-
norance as to the facts, or a candid
wish to be unfair.
General Pershing is not at Jolo by
his own wish. He al ordered there
by the government he serve He is
confronted by conditions. not by theo-
ries. He had ample ground for his de-
cision to disarm the Mohammedans
who people the Sulu group of islands,
Regularly; since the occupation OF
those islands by the American troops,
the Moros have ambushed small bodies
OF soldiers and have murdered them.
The natives have pretended a perfect
" child-like friendship for the sol
| diers; have accepted gifts from them;
have suffered no indignities at their

LAW REGULATION.

The fashion notes state that the
hobble skirt is soon to be a thing of
the past and therefore it may not be
necessary to pass a law on this sub
ject as suggested by The Seattle Post
IntelIigencer, but the humor of the sit
uation does not pass with the passage
of this hobby, and therefore that is
much of interest in the following dis
cussion of this topic by the paper
named:
The Post-Inteligencer a few days
since published a story from Paris
showing that the rise Of the hobble
skirt had resulted in a great depres-
sion in the weaving industry in the
north of France, throwing thousands
of people out of employment, Now a
review of the industrial situation in
the cotton manufacturing city of New
Bedford, Mass, voices a similar COM
| plant.
The stockholders of the cotton mills
in New Bedford have been informed by
their anage that the reduction In
earnings which they have to report
has been due to a break in prices on an
overloaded market, for which one con-
tributing cause is the skimping in
dress patterns authorized by fashion.
The skinny dress skirt means a corr
responding diminution in undergar-
ments, or their partial abolition.
Hence the lessened demands for
goods.
This is a situation which should APP
peal at once to those earnest states
men who are profoundly convinced that
all existing evils can be cured by leg
islation addressed to meet them. Here
is an admitted evil-reduced earnings
lessened employment and a general de-
cline in a great industry-the prime
cause of which is readily to be traced
Ia law of fashion.
The remedy is simple and easy, &C.
cording to the logic of those who PHI
their faith to legislation as the propel
corrective of all social and economii
evils. The law of fashion which pre-.
scribes the hobbIe skirt must be re,
!. pealed by legislative enactment. Leg
islators should deal with this situa
ton with the severe logic Of the popu.
listic statesman, during Mr.. Bryan
first campaign, when he dernandet
that, as Gresham's law constituted al
argument against free silver, Gresh
! ANS law should be promptly repealed
! by congress. If economic laws a b.
repealed by legislatures. and a grea
number of American statesmen ar
: firmly convinced that they can be
Z what particular immunity has a mer

8 of the United States and should not b
permitted TO have any binding effec
e upon a great self governing peopl
n who have renounced all foreign infiu
ence in their domestic affairs?

Mr.. CRANES IRREGULARITIES.

The opposition of the late
Richard T. Crane Of Chicago to the
higher institutions Of learning is we'll

man, and ecaus he achieved success
without a college education he was in

taught in colleges and universities

in tue struggle Of life.
Many a college mar fails of success,
but Ne might be even a greater failure

and secure added wealth had he had

BETTER A A LITTLE.

The Forum does not believe in
knocking any portion of the north
west, but it will be well for men to
carefully investigate the conditions in
the state of Washington before going
there expecting to readily obtain EN-
ployment in consequence of the large
amount of work projected for the com
ing season.
There is no doubt but the railroads
and others contemplate large expendi-
lures for Improvement during 1912 and
1913, but there are armies Of men
there now desiring employment in Or
der to get bread to eat and to sustain
their families.
Organizations have been perfected
to try to care for the men with fami-
lies first, and everything possible is
being done to relieve genuine distress,
but the problem this winter has been a
hard one, n there a been much
suffering.
Caution should be exercised against
rushing into that country, expecting
work - abundance at good wages. The
cities are now having all they can care
for, and unless you are sure of a good
job it is well not to hasten west ex-
pecting contractors to be falling over
each other in the effort to secure your
services at living wages.
Later there may be opportunities to
obtain work on these improvements
but that time has not yet arrived. II
will pay you to wait.

Moreover, the Moros are murder
