SANE AND SAFE.

During the past nine years there
have been 1929 people killed or in
jured in Fourth Of July accidents. me
total number Of deaths were 1,719. The
largest number in any one year was
in '09, when the total was 215. This
great death toll aroused the people to
such an extent that saner and safer
methods were adopted. In 1910 the
deaths were reduced to 131-sIightly
more than half the year before. SO
well had the good work progressed that
last year the total was only hfty-seven
Or but a little more than one- fifth
the number of two years previous.
This is a record well worth the
effort. If the number of fatalities can
be still further reduced this year 1t
will be a great reward for those who
are devoting their time and energies
to ecu safer and saner celebrations.
An earnest attempt is being made in
Fargo to have a safe and sane Fourth
of July. 1t is proposed to have speeches,
songs, patriotic address and recita-
tons and clean sport-instead of noise
bedlam, injuries and death.

WANTS FAIR L A

To The Forum: THE Milton Globe
says the only fault certain people can
find with L. B. Hanna is that he is a
stalwart. Good Lord. With his record
before he world, amt that enough!"
The above is clipped from one of the
daily papers, and is an insult to every
voter in the state. The day has gone
by when voters are caught by calamity
howlers. IL Mr.. Hanna has committed
any crime against the government
while he served the people, let them
produce the evidence. BE a mar and
come out In the clear, and If your can
didate has any record or qualifications
that entities him to take the respon-
sibflity Of handling great questions, a
governor is called upon to, then pro-
duce them.
1 have nothing to say against the
candidate who is pitted against Mr..
Hanna. Mr.. Hama is a man of large
experience. AS a citizen and repre-
sentative he stands before the people
with a record that is honorable. One
in a public Office is always knocked by
the knocker, for the knocker has no
other weapon to use.
l advocate the nomination of Mr..
Hanna on the grounds that he is a
man exceptionally we'll qualified for
the office, and believe the voters should
cast their vote for the a and not be
sidetracked from their belief by those
who have nothing to offer except try

INsURoENT SCRAPS.

-
Some time ago The Forum called
attention to the rumors Of ~jealousies
and chickering's within the insurgent
ranks in North Dakota, Mention was
made Of the current gossip regarding
the rivalry between Gronna II Mar
shall for the position Of boss" of the
state machine. Some of the state in
surgent weekltes entered a denial
and National Committeeman Marshall
-in the classic and elegant language
for which he is not~ed--branded the
stories al untrue.
In signed stories to the Minneapolis
and st. Paul papers the writer's from
Chicago tell of the bitterness and rival
NY between Marshall and Gronna.
They insist that Gronna threw the har-
,poon into MarshalI-and tell oil other
things that occurred among the insurg-
ang North Dakotans.
1t ID quite evident all these news
paper men could not have manufac-
tured the stories. There must have
been some basis of truth for them. If
there is foundation for the stories
from Chicago-the rumors in North
Dakota during the past few weeks
must have also had some authenticity.
1t will not be up to the me. too"
newspapers of the insurgent cause to
enter more denials-and for Tom Mar
shall to shout and yell. The national
committeeman will probably return
and tell how dearly he loves Gronna-
and be ready to kiss the hand that
walloped him in the senatorial race
and in Chicago.
The insurgency was born in this
state because certain men could not
be the whole works in the republican
party. Dis~integration in the insurgent
faction has already set in-because of
these same jealousies-and rule or
ruin ideas.

THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 1912.
cENTRAL MARkET.

There are two things that Fargo
needs worse than anything elsa
central market and an auditorium. The
necessity Of both are 50 apparent that
argument is no longer needed on that
point It has resolved itself into a
question Of the best plan to pursue to
secure them.
Both are needed quickly-but like
everything else there is danger in too
much haste. 1t is possible to raise
money by popular subscription for a
market place and for a n auditorium
but it would be difficult to secure suf1-
cient funds to construct a building that
would be satisfactory and adequate.
1t is now so late that it would be
hard matter to get the money raised
and a building constructed this fall.
One Of the reasons for a great rush is
to secure a building that will accom-
modate the Tri-State convention next
January. The present Sunday taber-
naeIe will care for everything this
Summer.
at has been proposed that the
auditorium and the market place plan
be held up till the next legislative ses-
sion, when a measure can be enacted
to permit cities to bond for this pur-
pose. With an emergency clause at
tached it would be possible to be
ready for construction work as early
in the spring as outdoor work can be
started.
The chief objection to this Idea is
the failure to have an appropriate
place for the Tri-State meet. In ev-
erything else the argument is favor
able to The new plan. 1t would result
in a larger and more satisfactory
building.
The majority Of the people want a
large auditortum-and every man,
woman and child in the city is inter-
ested in the central market idea. This
being the case, it is but fair that the
entire c~ity-rather than a few indivi-
duals--should bear the expense Of the
building.
1t might also be possible to secure a
location in the corner Of the park-in
which case there would be no expense
to the city for a site. If the location
is central enough building might be
SO planned that it could accommodate
the commercial club and the militia
boys, the latter to use the main
auditorium for drills.

FLOOD LOSSES.

Various estimates have been made
hs to the losses of the citizens Of the
mississippi valley sustained this year
from foods. Many authorities are
agreed that the aggregate amount is
not under 800, 600, 900.
These food waters carried 4O0,0 o
900 tons of rich surface soil, from the
lands OF the Mississippi valley into the
Gulf OF Mexico.
1t is impossible to estimate the value
OF this wasted water and fertilizer lost
to the world-through the failure to
regulate streams and protect farm
lands from overflow.
water enough rushes down the Mis-
souri, every year to water 10000 600
acres of the arid land throus.l which
the upper Missouri passes. In the
Ohio enough water is wasted in flood

NEED FOR PUBLICITY.

The chief of the bureau of plant in
dustry, DR.. B. T. Galloway, has called
to the attention of the secretary of
agriculture the increasing need for
disseminating information which will
be helpful to the thousands of city
people and others who are being en-
couraged to put their savings into var
ious land selling, orchard growing,
crop producing propositions. Owing to
the extensive advertising propaganda,
many people with little or no knowl-
edge Of agricultural matters are being
led to invest money in projects which
by no reasonable chance can ever be
made to pay the profits claimed for
them. Secretary Wilson Is very much
interested in this matter and has is
sued instructions that full data be
gathered in order that the department
through its publications and CORES
pondence shall be in direct position to
aid those who have been attracted by
the promise OF good investments but
who would like to obtain reliable facts
before taking action.

a repetition of the awful food scenes OF
this spring should not be permitted.
The great Mississippi river watershed
IL the most valuable farming land in

contiuer.. All parts Of the country
are now alive to the necessity for pro-
tecting this great area against another
food such as this season brought.
The equalization Of the Missouri, the
Cumberland. the Tennessee, the Arr
kansas, the Ohio and the Mississippi is
not an idle dream. These streams are
all capable of tremendous development
by means Of adequate locks and dams
and storage reservoirs-which will
provide against low water.
This country should utilize all Of its
streams for the hauling OF heavy
freight after the European fashion. A
great system Of streams-such as pour
into the Mississippi and find their way
finally to the Gulf OF Mexico--is an
asset Of ~inestimable value. Under con-
troll this system Of waterways would
afford the Mississippi valley unlimited
transportation facilities and advan-
tageous freight rates. Uncontrolled,
this system is a menace to the entire
Mississippi valley.
