MAKES DENIAL
ISSUES A STATEMENT IN REPLY
TO ACCUSATIONS MADE AT
MASS MEETING AT THE TAB
ERNAcLE WEDNESDAY NIGHT
BY REV. r. l.. WATKINS.

To The Forum: / have lived in Fargo
with my family for thirty-two years.
During the administration of Mayor
Lowell / was chief of police Of the
city of Fargo. Louis Dahlgren was
captain of the police during the same
time. He is also an old resident of
THU city and a seen almost con-
tinuous service on the police force for
about fifteen years. No complaint was
ever made against him on account Of
lack Of integrity, efficiency or moral
character.
This much to preface what / have to
say about the statement made by Rev.
CD f.. L. Watkins at the tabernacle
on the evening Of June 19--to the eff
feet that during my term as chief
of police: "A young girl was conffn-
ed in Jail for sixteen days in a small
room with q o and two chairs in
1t and with one of the most notorious
prostitutes of the city, Box Car Nora,
as a companion. and during the night
sixteen or seventeen men in uniforms
and otherwise had the keys, opened
the door and went in to see the girl
The entire statement is absolutely UNI
true n maliciously false. Captain,
Dahlgren was the n man who had
the keys to the woman'S ward in the
Jail at that time. The girl that the
speaker probably referred to was there
for one night only. Box Car Nora
was never in the city Jail while I
was chief. Sixteen or seventeen men
in uniforms or otherwise did not visit
the girl In question while In Jail.
/ am perfectly willing to put Cap-
tain DahlgTen or my own reputation
for truth and ~veracity, and we are
in a position to know, up against that
of any reverend or street walker that
lives.
The statement by one of the speak
ers. Ask the ofdcers what became of
the money paid as fines" is an in

Cling with the money The ma who
made that statement knew when he
made 1t what became OF the one
and that 1T was paid to City Treasurer
MifchelI and By him disbursed as

money was credited to.

a~rtifically.
Jennie was in another box comfort
ably nursing a pair of 2-week-old
kittens, When she saw the young rab-
bits she made a rush for the box and
at first the family feared the cat would
quickly destroy the little orphans.
But instead Jennie got into the box,

G. Arthur Brown, the Chicago expert
on water works and filtration plants
who is in the city, is authority for the
statement that the Fargo water plant
Is well nigh perfect, and that here isn't
a city in the United States that will
have purer and better water thai this
city when everything gets to working
properly. The coagulation Of the chem
1cals and the water, he say could not
be improved.
Yesterday afternoon the members of
the board Of examiners in pharmacy
or the state, paid a. visit to the plant
in company with Alderman Mcdonald
who was chairman of the fire and
water committee Of the council when
the plant was talked Of and was a
member during it's construction, and
every member Of the board expressed
his pleasure at what he saw.
The testing of the plant will begin
about the first of the month, or as soon
as Senator Kennedy, who built the
works returns home from the east.
The testing will be done under the
direction of Mr.. Brown and it will be
thorough.
Chief Of the Fire Department Suth-
erland has been busily engaged IN
flushing out some of the mains of the
city and h entire work will be begun
in earnest under his supervision in a
few days.
It will take over a month for the
tests to be completed, but the water
can be used in the meantime for cook
ing purposes, but will not be pro-
nounced fit for drinking right from the
mains until after the tests have been
made.

town limits shall bring their dinners
to school except on stormy days when
it would be inconvenient to return
to their homes. This rule has been
made necessary because of the dis
order at the buildings during the
noon hour. Parents will be doing the
school authorities a special favor by
aiding in the enforcement of this
rule"
The State High School Board
meets in March to designate the five
Agricultural Schools with state aid
in accordance with the law appro-
priating $12,5OO for this purpose.
Each school which is so lucky as to
get this aid will receive $4,000 each
year for the equipment and instruc-
ton necessary in carrying on this
work. The requirements are such
that many schools cannot at present
fulfill them. Floor space for the
Agricultural Department must be on
the first floor or in the basement,
and the rooms must have an out
side entrance. Special departments
of Manual Training and Domestic
Science must also be maintained.
Likewise the school must have a field
of at least ten acres of land of the
average quality within a reasonable
distance of the high school. This
land is, of course, for the special use
Of the classes in Agriculture. The
plan is patterned after the one in
the Agricultural schools of Mime
sofa. We have a large territory from
which to draw our students, no Ex-
detrimental Station is near, and the
majority of our pupils should be
trained for this kind of work. Why
should we not plan to equip for work
of this nature and try to meet the
requirements when the next list of
schools is admitted for state aid in
1914?

Why Hens Don't Lay
Eggs in Winter

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside the Poultry Editor makes
the following interesting report:
The price of fresh eggs went soar
ing after Thanksgiving, and just at
that time nearly all hens quit laying.
They did not go on a strike, but
just quit because they had to-. |
have received quite a number OF
letters from people in several states
asking why the hens do not lay, and
how to make them lay. Two farm
ers wrote that they had about de-
cided to sell all their fowls but about
half a dozen, because when the price
of eggs was high, they did not lay,
and when it was down below cost
of feed, they laid steadily.
81 have found it very difficult to
make people understand that a hen
cannot make eggs and feathers at the
same time. She can lay while she
is shedding he'd feathers, because
there is then no drain on her sys-
tom for any other purpose. But
when the new coat of feathers is
started, she quits, simply because
she cannot do double duty-make
feathers and eggs at the same time.
When people learn this fact, they
will not expect eggs from a hen that
Is growing a Goa of feathers. And
then they may also learn how to
manage their. matching and feeding
so as to get eggs in the late fall and
winter, when they want them badly.
And when they learn that, there will
not be any market for egg-making
compounds, peppered stock-foods,
panaceas and back-breaking bone
cutters.

W. c. 7. U. Notes

The following extract from a
speech given by R. M. LaFollette in
Ohio-speaks in no uncertain terms
on the suffrage question:
There are 100000 women in
America earning their living. These
women have the right to say by bal
lot what their hours of labor shall
be, and what sanitary conditions
shall reign in the workshops in which
they toll. They are adding to the
wealth of the country as is the man
who tolls, but than that, they
have the personal and moral right
to vote on ar equality with their
brothers. Pm for justice, that's ALL"
There is quite a contrast between
the above statement and this one,
taken from a recent number of the
Woman Shield:
1.-The Brewers Association has
raised a million dollar fund to fight
woman suffrage by paid editorials in
newspapers and magazines"
And yet we find many devoted
wives and mothers opposed to Wo-
mans Suffrage, and by this indiffer-
ence are really working hand in
hand with our enemy, the Brewers
Association.
Let is hope that these women
may be aroused from their indiffer-
ence and lethargy on this all i'm
portant subject-and resolve to come
out for equal rights at the ballot
box-ight the liquor interests and
protect the home.
Surely any respectable, home low
ing woman should have the same
right and privilege at the polls as
the soul destroying, home breaking,
bloated, bleer-eyed bootlegger, blind
pigger, saloon keeper, brewer, plug
ugly and ~red-nosed, roughnecked
brothel keeper. Personally, the
writer prefers Woman's Suffrage to
"Woman's Suffering"
