American made any resort to extreme
measures with him somewhat danger
Gus. Yet Russia may soon find that he
is now in a better position to thwart
its designs upon Persia than he was
when q powerful Official in Teheran,
declares The Cleveland Leader. And
1t seems obvious now that this is one
Of the reasons which induced him to
resign and leave the country. Russia
is not done with shuster yet.
From Paris, where he now is, the
young American who dared to defy
the car and HIS ministers. sends out
the announcement that he is going to
England to arouse its people, if pos
sible, to a realization OF their duty
toward Persia. England can save
Persia without war. and England alone
is able to do this. 1t was only with
British consent that Russia dared in
wade the ancient kingdom Of the shahs.
And it is safe to say that the average
Englishman, who is in touch with the
situation, is heartily ashamed of the
fact. When Mr.. shuster, young, ar
dent, courageous. forcible and Of prov
ed ability as a director of national af-
fairs, makes his appeal to the British
people and to parliament and the min
istry, 1t is not at all unlikely that the
Anglo-Saxon conscience and the love
of fair play in England will be aroused
and King Georges ministers compelled
to oppose Russia's designs. w. Nor
gan Shuster may yet prove to be the
savior of Persia.

The Future President.

The eyes of fond parents are upon
baby girls nowadays instead of baby
boys. There used to be a time when
parents all hoped that some day their
little baby boy might be president Of
this country, but the day Of the suf-
fragette is at hand. When the baby
girls of today grow UP we may have
a woman president.
Parents should therefore exercise
great caution in naming the little
girls Here are some of the names
that would never look well attached
to a president of the United States:
Lucille, Dove, Pansy, Anastasia,
Cherry, Blanche. Gladys, Sweetie,
Lily, Margie. Phyllis. Cecilie, Anne
thyst, Ruby, Pearl, AmaryIlis, Cutie,
Queenie, Trixie. Tulip. Maggie, yio-
let, Lutte, Lulu, Madge, Bessie, Nellie,
Pet, Puss. Grayce, Minnie, May. Jen-
ME, Mamie, Flossie, Hortense, Myrtii-
la, Lizzie. Mag or Hattie.
Good presidential names for the
baby girls are the following: Mary,
Victoria, Joan, Susan. Anne, Jane
Helen, Cleopatra, Sapphire, Delilah,
Minerva, Catherine, Josephine, So
phia, Rachel. Sarah, Martha, Alex
andra, Bridget, Eliza, Hannah, Melis-
sa, Rebecca, Olympia, Elizabeth,

Butter Train Lecturer Says Silo Saves
20 Per Cent of Corn Gain.
Belle, Mo, Jan. So.-c. H. Ekles,
professor Of dairy husbandry at the
Missouri College of Agriculture, today
declared in an address on the Rock
Island train that is known as the but
ter and egg special on it's run from St.
Louis to Kansas City, that the general
practice of corn raising in Missouri
results in a loss Of 40 per cent Of the
returns possible on the farm if it is
properly handled.
The man who leaves the fodder in
the field, declared Professor Eckles,
instead of saving it in the silo, virtu-
ally is throwing away 40 cents on
every dollar his crop is worth.
The statement was made in address
on the benefits of dairying to soil fer
tility. On the hills in this neighbor-
hood, he declared, where the soil is
often weak, it is possible to make a
great difference in the crops in a short
time by proper daiTying.
He said that each COW kept for dali
rying purposes should be worth $25
a year as a f~ertilizing agent on the
farm. Speaking of the value OF the

TUESDAY, JAN. 50, 1912.
. SUCCESSFUL CONVENTION.

-.G -
The editors have been to Fargo, their
convention is over and they have gone
home. 1t was promised them a year
ago that If they would come here they
would have a successful meeting and
9 good time. %
1t is believed the promise has been
made good. It is the first time that
an editorial association has been held
ia the state when free transportation
was not provided by the railroads.
Notwithstanding this the attendance
was the largest in the history of the
state association.
Inc members were here for business
mot junketing. They had a good
programme of live topics. The papers
presented were practical. and many
OF the discussions were unusually wit
ty and always to the point. 1t is be-
lieved that every member felt repaid
for the time and money spent to come
to the convention because of the
amount Of good he personally received.
Then as to the entertainment-that
question should be left to the visitors
mainly to answer. An effort vas made
though not to have anything interfere
with the business sessions. The lead
ing feature of this part of the pro-
gramne was not banuuets or
speeches, but personal courtesies on
the part Of everybody in the city to see
that the visitors had a good time. The
reports OF the visitors themselves will
show If this was a success.
There have been times and places
when members of conventions have
had very unusual hotel bills to paw.
but The Forum heard no complaint
from n n of the visitors and as the
hotel people only charged their regu-
lar rates it Is believed that nothing Of
the kind occurred.
The Forum believes that members
OF the commercial club and all other
citizens have performed an act Of
courtesy in connection with the con-
vention Of last week, which will assist
the city, and make others desire to
come here, whether conventions are on
or not. Let this be an example to be
followed when other gatherings come
here.

FARM LIFE AND IMPROVEMENT

Much is being done to make a reality
of the picture of farm life in the flu
ture, as drawn by Harvey w. Wiley in
The Century Magazine. Every. adj
vanced step assists in reaching the
goal, and this progress helps all
classes, and makes the life of the ma
ton safer and sounder. In substance
DR.. Wiley says:
Farming requires the greatest indus
try, the keenest intellect and the best
training of all the professions.
A days skilled labor on the farm at
the present time produces twice as
much food as it did fifty years ago..
Paying cash for labor is a burden to
the farmer which is well nigh intoler-
able; n yet if he does his own work
he must either have a very small farm
or a very large family of boys and
girls who, moreover, are likely to leave
him as they approach their majority.
What, then, are we to do to stop the
flowing of the best blood Of the farm
to the city? The answer it seems to
me, is a simple one: make the farm a
mora productive place than the city,
and its prospects for a career more GER
tain.
When people come back from the
city to the farm. as I picture the farm
life in the future, it will not be to lead
a life of dreary labor, but rather to en-
gage in an occupation which will COM
mand intelligence and the best BUSH
ness capacity.
When the city comes back to the
country, it will come with culture,
with intelligence and with knowledge.
The science and art of agriculture,
drafting into it's service. as it is now
doing at the present time, every other
science, will SO increase productivity
that no Nautilus nor Sir William
Crookes will ever arise again and
prophesy starvation for humanity.

FUTURE WAR G

Hudson Maxim, the inventor Of high
explosives, is always making nervous
persons uneasy by his investigations
and his statements concerning warfare
OF the future, says an eastern news
paper.
But his recent ~utterances concern
ing the possibilities of the aeroplane
in war are especially alarming to John
2 n his nervous subjects.
BY the use Of 20, 900 aeroplanes Mr.
Maxim says it would be easy to trans
port an army of 10000 several hun
dred miles a DAY.
Such a fleet could easily fly from
the continent to London, and such
transportation would not cost anv
thing like as many lives as oversee
transportation" is the careless little
remark he drops for the consideration
OF Britishers who don't sleep at niyht
for fear Of a German invasion Of their
island.
Then for the comfort Of fdgatv
Americans Mr.. Maxim explained that 4
feet of Canadian ~aeroplanes cop,d
easily descend upon the United states
and take Buffalo and Cleveland before
any resistance could possibly be Of
fered by an army not provided with
aeroplanes.
The army of the future will move on
an. enemy after the fashion Of the
seyen-year locust. 1t is an uncannv
thought, but Hudson Maxim is onlv
telling the plain truth.
With a few scientists in all parts Of
sne world advising the public of what
the ~aeroplane and the submarine viii
DO to an army equipped according to
old-fashioned standards Mr.. Carnegie
ought to be able to make greater head
wa in his peace campaign.

''GANG RULE" IN
NORTH DAKOTA


Hampden Guardian: There are a
number Of things that the insurgents
have done lately that seems to us to
be bordering on the old so-called gang
practice, with the difference that the
old gang had no primary law to buck
against while today there is one. In
the old days the candidates were nom
mated under the old convention sys-
tenn, by representatives from all over
the state, today the insurgents call a
love feast and also the democrats, and
begin to weed out the undesirables, as
1t We're. The little man has no earthly
show of getting past the love feasts
and hence his name does not appear
on the ballot at the primaries. The
chances are that this same little fellow
who failed to receive the endorsement
OF the gangs would make a much bet
ter official than the man who reoeived

we would think that 1t is much better

law was intended to eliminate gang
rule and at the same time give he

and absolutely ignored the other. The
old Mckenzie gang has been driven to
the woods, but the Marshall gang is
fast taking its place. and what is far
worse, the people stand for It.. If the
people are for this kind Of politics,
then we r simply wasting time but

RELY ON LUTHER.

Rugby, N. D. Jan. 30.-Otto Luth-
er will prove to be the states most
important witness at a hearing which
will be held here tomorrow when
Herman Schultz is arraigned on a
charge Of numbering William Murray,
the construction camp Waterman at
the so-called Antelope Hill cut in the
extreme southeastern section of this
county. Luther is being held in the
county jail at Towner. and his evil
dence, it is understood, will be to the
effect that Schultz was out during the
entire night of the murder, and he all
so has some other facts relative to
the prisoners actions on that night.
Papers that were supposed to have
been taken from Murray's dead body
have been found In Schultz room.
Murray, the murdered man. had
been q resident Of Bottineau county
since 1888. He was at first employed
in that section as a railroad engineer,
but retired from that work and home
steaded, and owned a farm a short
distance from the city Of Bottineau.
