lay broad foundation for the super
structure of coming years.-"The Cas-
ties in Spain" and instincts. rather
than premonitions, of manhood.
A brief term of twenty weeks at the
st. Johnsbury Academy, managed, as
to the momentous financial problems
involved, in such manner as only he
who has mastered them can say. COM
pleted his preparation for college and.
with the youthful courage that is blind
to all obstacles, he entered the Uni
versity of Vermont in the fall of 1880.
The succeeding five years were not
less arduous than those that had gone
before, but as the obstacles arose. the
vision of his course beyond became
more clearly outlined and his purposes
became more definitely and firmly
fixed. There were deviations and de-
lays. He had to stop and step aside
and take up other pursuits. and solve
over and over again the ever recur-
rent financial problem.
He came to Denver in June. 1889 and
in 1891 became associated with the
firm of Wolcott K Vale. one of the
most prominent in the west the senior
member of which brilliantly represent;
ed the state of Colorado in the u. S.
senate for years, and whose reputation
as an orator. lawyer statesman and
man of affairs of national importance
is national in its scope. and whose
Junior member Is one of the most
talented advocates and profound jur-
lists that the Western country has
produced.
Associated with such men. possessed
of boundless courage. actuated by the
highest motives and loftiest ambition,
spurred on in his chosen work by the
keen competition and rivalry OF the
brightest and shrewdest minds in his
profession in the west. 1t Is not strange
that Mr.. Waterman's rise in his pro-
fession was rapid, or that he is today
co-partner in the firm that he en-
tered ten years ago almost as stu
dent or that he has earned and ac-
ouired a foremost place in his profes-
sion and recognition both within
and without his profession that would
he considered ample reward for the
| diligence of lifetime.
. Mr.. waterman, though often invited
to turn his attention and abilities to
the field of politics, where his grasp
of public questions and interests. his
distinguished ability as an orator. and
his unquestioned reputation for abso-
lutte probity and disinterested devotion
to the public welfare must have won
for him the recognition and success
that have attended his career as a
lawyer. has constantly eschewed this
field. always SO alluring to n man OF
brilliant ability and distinguished at
tainment, and has heretofore refused
to be drawn aside from his profession
or to permit his attention to be divert
ed from its despotic requirements.
1t may be truthfully said of Mr..
Waterman that he had much to do
with drafting the Republican State
platform for the year 1912. and stands
squarely upon every plank of that

list In a measure-and are indicated
by the apathy of unthinking persons,
President Taft has been successful
in the monumental task OF discredit-
ing rampant "progressiyism' on the
one hand-and the fatal attitude Of
standing pat" on the other. 1t should
be particularly borne in mind that he
perceived the fallacy of standing
pat" at a time when the party leaders
were content to rest on their oars. He
was more vigorously fought by the re-
publican press than by the democratic
press in his efforts to place the United
States in the front-in the effort to es-
tablish a worldwide peace pact.
As time passes it Is more clearly
seen that he steered a firm and intelli-
gent course between the two factions
of his party-which sprang into x
istence during Colonel Roosevelt's
occupancy of the White House. At all
times he has ignored the political spir-
1t Of his environment, and has stood
for sound craftsmanship and for rea-
sonable methods of reform and prog
ress. That he has antagonized the
politicians Of all brands should be to
his everlasting credit-in the eyes of
those who realize how baneful the eff
fects of too much politics have been
upon the stability of business and gov
eminent.

about thirty-three days. The electro

NO MORE ARsINTHE.

Absinthe drinkers are hard hit by
the recent order which prohibits the
Importation of the green liquor. 1t is
said there is only a two months sup
ply in this country. When this is ex-
hausted there is no more to be had
unless it can be smuggIed into this
country which would hardly be a
safe or profitable business. The an
nual importation has been about u.s.
600 cases, which would not indicate
that the habit had become very wide
spread.
To the mass of people absinthe was
little more than a name-Tits uses or
effects being unfamiliar. The reason
assigned in the order Of the depart
ment of agriculture prohibiting its i'm
portation is t~hat-absinthe contains
drugs injurious to the health of the
people of the United States"
In France the absinthe habit is the
national vice, after seventy years of
use. 1t is said that it's effect is worse
than a dozen glasses of whiskey-
which is a reduction to terms which
can be comprehended by the American
public. In fact, it is such a drink as
to cause even the saloon keepers in
many cases, to refuse to sell (which
also speaks a volume for it's qualities.
Theer are signs that the American
people n getting to be of the opinion
that whisky Is an evIr whose effects
are sufficient to Justify it's Punishment.

gerous-no time was lost in heading
off it's sale before an absinthe lobby
had been organized.

THE REAL SITUATION.

Republican voters who permit them
selves to fall into a position Of indif-
ference or doubt relative to the candi-
aacy Of President Taft will do well to
inquire if they have not been infu-
enced by the wrong advocates.
Such voters might profit by an ex-
animation of the causes for the pres
'ident's unpopularity in certain quar-
tiers. Such an inquiry must inevitably
create q respect for the man who
Seould make such enemies-by such
methods.
AT present the chief opposition to
president Taft comes, naturally, from
democratic sources. This is merely
Aetrategic and conventional. 1t is part
DC the familiar political game. 1t
comes from men who merely desire
pcffticai power and place-and who
are not so deeply concerned in the gen
kraI welfare as they would like to lave
g believe.

SCRIPTURES.
L Kings, xvii, 10.

And Elijah the Tishbit, who was of
the inhabitants of GiIead, said unto
Ahab, as the Lord God of Israel liveth
before whom I stand, there shall not
be dew nor rain these years, but ac-
cording to my word.
And the word Of the Lord came unto
him, saying,
Get thee hence, and turn thee east
ward, and hide thyself by the brook
Cherith, that is before Jordan.
q And it shall be, that thou shalt drink
of the brook; and l have commanded
the ravens to feed thee there. y
So he went and did according unto
the word of the Lord: for he went and
dwelt by the brook Gherith. that is be-
fore Jordan.
And the ravens brought him bread
and flesh in the morning and bread
and flesh in the evening; and he drank
Of the brook.

HELP IS NEEDED.

= So
Several Fargo employers yesterday
signiied a Willingness to work short
handed awhile-to permit their en-
pleyes to assist the farmers in thresh-
ing. Many husky young clerks. book
keepers and others have expressed a
wish to go afield for a week or two. 1t
would be a kind of a lark for them.
Okleourse the work would be hard
but the outdoor life would build them
np-and the extra effort would place
them in fine physical condition.
Their services would be beneficial to
the farmers n the plan would be
mutually helpful.
There was a sentiment evident at
yesterdays mass meeting that the
farmers were unduly alarmed. The
Forum does not believe this is true.
ANY casual observer can readily see
there still remains a great deal Of un-
threshed grain. Many machines are
operating-but with small crews.
Some are idle for lack of help.
n There remains only a few weeks in
which threshing weather can ordinar-
~ be depended upon. 1t is absolutely
necessary that the work be expedited
as rapidly as possible.
As a result of the appeals to Mime
sofa, Wisconsin, Iowa and South Da-
kpta some men are being secured but
30 far the number is hopelessIy small.
Che farmers along the main lines Of
the railroad are more fortunate than
the others. Those along the branch
Ines are terribly s~horthanded.
In some localities farmers are COM
bining to work up a complete thresh-
ing crew-but that stops all blowing
Aexcept in a few instances where the
women have volunteered to do that
york.
MThe situation is sufficiently grave
and the existing conditions should be
net If possible.
The best crop in the world is not of
great value-unthreshed.

This Is one of the disturbances you
should closely watch as we expect it
to be a radical storm throughout its
journey across the continent. The
cool wave will be a cold wave in
northern sections accompanied with
SHOWS and followed by very cold
weather. In southern sections it will
be a very severe cool wave and ac-
companied by cold rains,
Another disturbance will reach Pa
