THE CLUBS PROGRAMME.

1t has been well said that the com
mercial club has awakened. That is
true. 1t is getting in shape to do good
work. 1t has just made a start-by
getting citizens together. Much re-
mains to be done before it can become
the instrument for good which it
lhould be.
An experienced secretary, a live
president and a large membership are
simply accessories. There are other
essentials. ..,
Among the necessary details are suf-
acient funds. In the past it has been
the custom when money was wanted
to send out a committee and beg and
cajole enough from a few public spir-
tied citizens to meet the demands of
the occasion. which action had to be
repeated each time the demand arose.
This haG not been pleasant work. 1t
has not made some institutions feel
very kindly towards the club and its
management. ....
1t is now proposed to have an an
nual budget, which shall embrace all
the financial demands which may be
needed for the year. The membership
fees will not care for all of this, but
will help some.
Now that you are laying your bust
ness plans for the year, make up your
mind as to what you can do and what
you should do to help Fargo progress
during 1912. Put this money one side,
and notify the club of your determine
ton. The budget for the year has not
yet been decided upon, and The Fo-
rum simply throws out this suggestion
now that this necessary outlay. for
each business and professional man
and in fact, every citizen-may be TAX
en- into consideration as he is making
up his annual budget for himself for
his year.
Good work ~cquires money. Fargo
can grow as never before if her peo-
pie get together, drop some personal
animositieJ, and pull for the good Of
the community-not the individual.

ARREST FARMER.
Religious Maniac From 5owbelIs Com.
mitted to the Asylum.

Bowbells, N. d., Jan. 5.-Erick
Lundgren, living four miles west of
Niobe was arrested by Sheriff Stain
hofer on the charge of insanity and
was examined before the insanity
board composed of Attorney c. e.
Pierson, DR.. A. L. Doe and County
Judge Carter. The hearing took place
in the office of Mr.. Pierson in The Tri-
bune block, and Mr.. Lundgren was
committed to the state hospital at
Jamestown. The unfortunate man is
married, has four children, the oldest
one of whom is eight years old and
the youngest only a week old, and
has lived on the farm he now resides
on for ten years. He was a hard
worker, had his farm in a high state
of cultivation and was getting along
well until this depIorable malady came
on three weeks ago. His mania was
religion, and he would tell his neigh
bors that he had quit farming and
was now an evangelist. At times he
was perfectly rational for many hours
and then again he was completely out
of his head. He was taken to the hos
pital at jamestown by Deputy Sheriffs
George spooner and Dick silver.

EFFECTS OF TALK.

Colonel Bryan has returned to this
country, after his Central American
tour and his wreck. He is already talk
.ng in querulous tones about men who
ire liable to be candidates before the
national convention of his party. Un-
fortunately there are some men who
will listen to his words as those of an
oracle.
For sixteen years the democratic
party has failed because there has been
TOO much talk by the colonel. No body
Of men ever accomplished anything by
acting upon the idiosyncratic lead O,
an individual. A candidate who reflects
the convictions and wishes of MANY
men may easily become a power. The
candidate who believes that wishes
and convictions are subject to his in.

Farmer Surprised.

New England Herald: Recently
while a farmer who lives in the eoun-
try southwest OF New England was
driving to this town with a neighbor,
he said that he was going to make a
loan on his homestead and send to a
Chicago firm for a large order of
goods. The neighbor urged the man
to see some OF the goods in one of the
New England stores, to figure freight,
ETC., and see. where he would do bet
ter, by actually seeing the goods he
was buying and getting a guarantee
of satisfaction. Almost against his
will this mar was persuaded to give
the local merchant a chance. He must
have been agreeably surprised as he
bought 500 worth Of goods at the start.
He then went home and returned a
day or so later with his wife and they
bought ove $25 worth more.
Some others who are sending to
PARKWAY lands for supplies might
give the local merchant at least a
chance to figure on your bills. You
may be surprised also.

EFFECT OF LAWS.


The tendency of the age is to have
too many laws. There are people who
seem to believe that they can make
people good by law. No greater mis-
take could be made, There are too
many special statutes now in exist
ence. This is true of those referring
70 corporations as well as individuals.
The result Is that many Of them cannot
be enforced.

DIE OF RABIES.
Coyotes Infected and Many of Them
Are Dying Away.

Coyotes Infected and Many of Them
Are Dying Away.
Sheldon, N. d., Jan. 5.-That an
epidemic of rabies is raging among
the coyotes of Helendale and Cobura
townships is the report brought in by
farmers in that vicinity. They state
that a number of wolves have been
found dead on the prairie and others
have been seen acting strangely SINH
lar to the I'M of mad dogs. The
origin of the epidemic of hydrophobia
dates back to last summer when sew
eral dogs became afflicted. The dis
cas- was conveyed by them to stock in
that vicinity and several head have
died or been killed on ccoun of the
affliction. 1t is thought that the coy
otes became inoculated either through
being bitten by one of the mad dogs
or from eating the Of stock
that had been AFFLICTED with the dis
ease. 1t is feared that the stricken
coyotes will spread the disease still
further, and extra precautions are be-
ing taken by the farmers of that To-
cality to guard their stock and dogs.

He should realize that the person
who winks to q total stranger is not
reasonably safe to trust in a matri-
monial adventure, as they lack the bali
ance essential to happy wedlock. This
is a good illustration of the utter USE

utes. There should be less law, and a
stricter enforcement of necessary
governmental measures.

THERE is PROGRESS.

aa
Over in London there is a dean, .
DR.. Inge. who denies that civilized ma
tons are progressing morally in this
era. 1t is but natural that he should
have sympathizers in this country,
and one of them writes to The Chica-
go Record-Herald asking the views of
that paper on this subject, to which
the following reply is made:
Frankly, we find it difficult to ac-
count for the attitude or mood of those
who see no evidence of moral progress,
or ever see. evidence of moral retro
gression. Everything in politics, leg
islation, social relations seems to us
to attest genuine moral progress.
What are the a sts'' given by histor-
ians of civilization, by philosophical
teachers of ethics? They are well
known-the position of woman, the
treatment of the unfortunate, the GRIM
inal, the insane, the unemployed; the
general ideals and ideas of society; the
distribution Of wealth. opportunity and
mean of culture and education. Judg-
~ ~ SAASSS 1888 N0AA OAI - pC uSN
clared wanting, reactionary?
Woman's position has vastly i'm
proved. Who will now seriously de-
fend the "subjection" of woman?
Women are emancipated industrially
and are gradually acquiring political
rights and privileges.
Charity was never more humane,
broad, f~ar-sighted than now. Charity
concerns itself with causes of misery
and idleness; it not only relieves, but
seeks to redeem and reclaim. Charity
is being raised to a scientific plane.
AS to labor, wages, hours, unemploy-
ment, industrial accidents and disease,
when did these questions receive more
earnest or general attention than they
are receiving today? The trend in
child labor legislation, in insurance
legislation, in factory legislation is too
manifest to require elaboration.
Prisons, asylums and poorhouses are
being reformed and humanized.
Social and political ideals are high
and noble. Equality of opportunity,
justice, honesty, democracy underlie
all our agitations and movements.
Education was never more popular,
never more vital, never more demo-
cratic than now. We complain of and
denounce our schools, but only because
our educational ideas have outstripped
our achievements.
Privilege, snobbery, caste are disap-
pearing. Thrift and sobriety are in
creasing. Dreaded diseases are being
attacked and the general health foster
ed by means Of prevention, instruction
and cure. Art and beauty are being
democratized.
If all this is not evidence of moral
advance, what is moral advance? The
indictment Of u age on moral
grounds is, in our Judgment, most
superficial.
