AS to the future of the new party
in the state the miserable failure OF
the leader Mr.. Sweet of Fargo ought to
have a discouraging effect on the
leaders who were so active in bringing
him into the field. The state primary
campaign was bitterly fought by the
Bull Moosers who were then enrolled
as progressive Republicans. They
were defeated and not being satisfied
with the return detective was hired
from one of the best known agencies
in the United States and when he
had reported that there were no elec-
ton irregularities his employers i'm
mediately fell in line with the third
party movement and the candidacy of
Mayor Sweet Of Fargo was the result.
His defeat and the extremely poor
showing made by him show conclus-
lively that the people of the state be-
lieve in fair play and while they are
willing to divide on choice OF candi-
date at the primaries they believe
that the judgment of the majority
should be upheld and refused to be
led into deserving the party in order
to Wreak vengeance on man whom
the majority of the Republican party
has Endorsed as a candidate for COVER
nor. The battle has been fought and il
has been found that the Republican
party on state issues are still stand
ing together and there is no indica
ton that third party in the state is
needed or that it will be welcomed, IN
fact the vote shows that the third
party is considered very much joke

A brutal, cold blooded lynching took
place at Steele Friday, when the man
Baker, who murdered his wife and
father-in-law, was taken from the
sheriff and hung to a telegraph pole.
In the southern states such an out
rage would be the talk of the whole
nation, and states where such crimes
have been of frequent occurrence are
referred to as lawless community,
and citizens living in such places are
compelled to suffer unkind criticism
listing there, and now the stigma has
come home to us, and We must suffer
more or less as result of mob vio-
lence. Obviously there is reason for
sober, orderly, well governed mobs,
seeking such summary vengeance on
this murderer and one cannot but
connect these men taking the law into
their own hands with the slow and
very uncertain machinery of the
courts and the ease with which men
escape the gallows and afterwards Sc
cure their liberty, using as last re-
sort the pardoning board. 1t is time
now that drastic action be taken along
criminal court procedure reform and
chat laws be enacted that will take
the power to pardon murderer out
of the hands of any person or persons,
excepting where evidence is found
tending to prove that an injustice has
been done There is no valid excuse
for lynching at any time or any
where but our state comes as near
furnishing good excuse as any in
the world, and it is time that some
action to correct that condition be
taken.

d A negro Is about to be punished by
the federal government for crime
of which he is undoubtedly guilty, and
for which he should be made to suf-
fer, but there is a grave question II
the laws of the north, which permit
the colored men to mingle freely and
even marry with the whites, is not
the real cause of this ignorant beasts
plight. Many of the northern people
are coming to realize that the men
of the south, where negroes are so
numerous, are solving the colored
problem for themselves better by far
than we Of the north are able to do.
The negro of Virginia and other south.
ern states are treated very much like
a pet dog-kindly and with patience,
and he has been educated to state
where he resents the mingling of the
colors as keenly as does the whites,
and takes pride in his separate
coaches on the trains and his CON-
partments in all public vehicles, and
has no disposition to enter any place
Of amusement attended by the whites,
and the result of this training has
made him a good and useful citizen.
religiously inclined, who will eventu-
ally, after several generations, work
out his own problems in his own way,
much better than could be done by the
whites. The colored people must be
treated as children-their minds are
no further developed.

Fargo Forum: Since the peol

Fargo Forum: Since the people
have found out the government OF mu-
inequalities is a most vital MATERIAL
fscting the daily life and the interests
of large proportion Of the people,
more than ofice-holders and politicians
they are thoughtfully considering
the best way to govern the towns and
cities.
People in the cities are coming to
their senses and studying those ques-
tons which relate to city government,
They have gone so far in some of the
cities as to establish and maintain
publications which deal with those
matters that affect city government.
Chattanooga issues a monthly mu-
nicipal journal, which is devoted to
municipal government-in which the
citizens discuss live and pertinent
questions. Houston, Tex, publishes
monthly of similar character, as do
several other cities:
The municipality of Los Angeles
twelve pages, which carries ADVERTISE
ments, editorials, contributions-and
other appropriate matter, and which
is called The Weekly Los Angeles
Municipal News.
This paper was established by au-
thority of city ordinance submitted
to the voters of the city.
Each political party polling per
cent of the city's vote is allowed one
column in each issue free of censor
ship. The several parties in that city
are now using the space allotted to
them-and are discussing whatever
questions they desire. The parties in
cluded in this list are the republican,
democratic, socialist-labor and good
government.
The editorial policy of the paper is
determined and directed by the city
officials
An interesting and instructive feat
ure of the paper is the service of two
special writer's, who take opposite
views on questions relating to city
government.
l. The publication has a circulation of
6O,0OO-but this, with the advertising
it carries-leaves a deficit of $500 a
week, which the city pays.
This experiment has not yet been
demonstrated to be success-though
it may finally become paying institu-
ton and a lasting benefit.

1t looks now as though the demo
Gratis would have at least half of the
senate and there seems to be very
general satisfaction with that arrange
ment. If we are to have a democratic
administration, it will be as we'll to
give the party unlimited power and
then if there is a failure to bring
about such reform and betterment OF
conditions as has been promised the
people will know exactly where to
place the blame for the trouble, while
on the other hand if they have con-
troll of the House and Senate and sue
coed in bringing about more pros
porous condition then the people will
understand just to whom they are OBJ
ligated and may confer future honors
by giving them a continuation of
power.

Many people seem under the i'm
preston that Wilson has been elected
by the largest majority ever given a
president Such is no. the case Will
son did not get a majority Of the
popular vote and while on account Of
the split in the republican party he
secured plurality in most of the
states. and gained the electors, he
failed to get majority. and his cleo
zion is anything else but landslide.
Although he has very large majority
OF the electors. he lacked the majority
