acute and he finally passed away He

FORUM STARTS
PROSPERITY ERA
HUNDREDS OF CHILDREN AND
MANY WoRKINGMEN HAVE
STARTED SAVINGS ACCOUNTS
BECAUSE OF THE OFFER OF
THIS PAPER.

Many people nave been started on
the road to prosperity through The Fo-
runs free check distribution. This has
been amply proved by the number who
have already opened accounts with the
Dakota Trust Co. as a result Of the
distribution.
One of the best features of the dis
tribution is the fact that hundreds of
children have either started an ac-
count for themselves or have had one
started by some friend or relative.
There is nothing that win be of great
er benefit to child than learning the
habit of saving.
Another good feature is that many
working men who have been spend
ing all they earn have opened ae-
counts and there il no telling how
many have been started on the road
to affluence from a long life OF strug
gle and hardship because of this distri-
button.
The Forum started the distribution
OF $1,000 In so cent checks yesterday
and Will continue to give them away
each day from i a. M. to p. m. un-
tiI the entire $1,000 has been given

Washington, ID. C., Oct. I'll. O.
Cannon, the first witness before thh
Clapp committee, investigating camf
paign funds, testified he audited onlI
the accounts of the expenditures by the
late Bliss and had no knowledge of the
contributions to the republican fund
Specifically he said he knew nothing
of the 100000 contribution John. d.

ard oil Co. to Roosevelt's 1904 cam
paign. He knew nothing Of any cont
tributions, he said to any nationaE
campaign funds. 4
Dixon followed Cannon, and testil
fled he had collected funds other than
those handled by progressive Treasur-
er Hooker, who informed the commit :
tee yesterday that the total eXpendi4 :
lures of the Roosevelt national com \
nlittee were about $4,000,
Il would like TO know the full scope
of the Investigations" demanded Dixf
on. interrupting the examination.
''Does this include as we'll the republI7
can and democratic campaign fundsPP
"Of course" continued Dixon, "tho
general impression is that this As
rather an investigation of only fhe
pre- convention campaign fund OF
Roosevelt. Now as member Of the
senate. I want to see the camnaign
funds Of Taft, Wilson and Harmon,
also investigated, and ] think this
should be done before the election. |
don't think this committee should go
only into the funds of Roosevelt"
Dixon insisted he was sure the com :
mittee was Investigating only Roossr
veits expenses. He added he wantetl
the committee TO summon the manag
ers OF Clark, Underwood, Harmon and
Taft.

Oliver,
Clamp told the witness he had al

all the men named had been summoned
and he demanded that Dixon answer
questions.

turned Dixon. 1T wants these other
men examined within the next few
days, before the election"
senator Dixon" exclaimed Clapp,
half rising from his seat, "the sug
gestion that there hasn't been fair
pay here is q rejection on the one
Ynan In this committee who Is friend
ly to Colonel Roosevelt" Then fol-
lowed an argument among the COM
mittee members, eliminating in the
general demand that Dixon be exam
ined shout the Roosevelt funds.
Eiapp told Dixon he could tell what
he knew about the other candidates
later,
"Pd send him to jail" declared
Pomerere, as Dixon closed his remarks
to the committee.
Dixon then told what contributions
he had nersnnallY received.

FREE TRANSPORTATION
FOR MEN URGED.

Fargo, Oct 2.-To The Forum:
You are undoubtedly aware that
there is a great scarcity of help
for threshing. Now / would sug-
gest that your paper urge the var
ious commercial clubs of the state
and especially the commercial club
of Fargo, TO get busy with the
railroads and try to get free trans
portation for threshing hands. This
transportation to be- free both
ways, but the return part not to
be valid until after thirty or forty
days from date of issue.
1t is up to the railroads to as
sist the farmers in this matter
and know that If they will offer
the above inducement and adver-
tise it, this state will have more
hands than it han use in a very
short time, as there are lots of
young farmer boys In the states
of Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and other
states that would be glad to have
an opportunity to see the country
and to earn little money besides.

Lean, and they are busily engaged to-
day in endeavoring TO solve the prob
lem. IT is desperate. We have re-
Ceived kilograms from several places
announcing that the machines are shut
down because of the scarcity of labor,
and in others the statement Is made
that only a fourth of a crew is at
a crew seems to be attending to bus
mess. sa
Northern Pacific Is Busy.
"A telegram reached this Office to
the effect that the traffic manager Of
the Northern Pacific was doing all that
he can, and he has asked us to forward
to him the form of a circular or bill
that the company will print and dis
tribute at it's own expense asking men
to go to North Dakota and these will
be distributed broadcast over the coun-
try. The railroads, and particularly
the n. p, are showing a disposition
to help us in what to me seems a
very sore strait. -.... -
Word From Lansdon.
Here is a telegram continued Mr..
Stine. from the city Of Langdon, prayk
ing US to send them 100 men at once
and urging the papers of Fargo to
give the news the greatest publicity.
and we hope they will. 1t seems to
me LlldI the LlLtle mas COule WilEli TSaIIB
the citizens Of Fargo should assist in
the matter and If necessary send men
right out of the stores and elsewhere
into the country to assist in threshing,
We have q good crop and from what
/ can learn from the letters and tele-
grams 1t will nearly all be saved IL
IT can be threshed, and We should
help"
Men in College.
Another member Of the commercial
club who has the above subject at
heart said he believed that at the
present time there are 700 young men
attending the different educational in
stitutions of Fargo and Moorhead and
1t would appear to him as though the
case was so urgent that the colleges
should be dismissed for few days in
order that these men could get into
the fields and assist in threshing. It
is likely that the matter will be pre-
sented to the different educational in
stitutions of the two cities.

From what can learn from tele-
grams and letters sent to the CONNER
cial club there never was a time in
the history of North Dakota when the
demand for labor was so great as at
the present time" said Secretary Stine
of the Fargo Commercial club this
morning to The Forum, "and we want
the papers and everybody else to do
their utmost to assist US in securing
hands. From all over the state tele-
grams and letters are pouring in on
us, asking, yes, even praying for us
to send men.
Committee Appointed.
80 grave is the situation" said Mr.
Stine, that the commercial club deems
1T necessary for a committee to be
appointed to devise ways and means
for supplying this demand and the

Milwaukee, Oct. Eight drivers,
with their mechanicians and cars lin
ed up on the new Wauwateta race
course today for the start at IL o'clock
of the eighth Vanderbilt race. Drivers
scheduled to race approximately 299
miles, or thirty eight times around q
1883 mile course, for fame, a costly
trophy and $4,000 in cash prizes.
The field of drivers included Ralph
Multord, winner of last years Wander
bilt event at Savannah; Teddy Tetz-
laff, the Californian who set new road
race records over the Santa Monica
course, and Ralph De Palm, a winner
Of this years Elgin national and free
for all races. Muiford was at the wheel
of q Knox car, Tetzlaff drove a Flat
and De Palma had a Mercedes r.
In addition, the field was composed
of Gilanderson in Stutz; Spencer
Wisahrt in Mercedes; George Clark
in Mercedes; Harry Nelson in a
Lozier and Hughie Hughes in Mer-
cedes. De Ualma and TetzIaff were
the fayorites in the betting before the
start of the hard grind. Crisp fall
weather and a track demonstrated to
be lightning fast, indicated the pos
sibility that Mulford's record of seven
ty-four and a fraction miles per hour
for last years Vanderbilt might be
eclipsed. ~ -

rectly from henorrhage of the brain.

One of Byron's Jokes.

Byron had given to Murray. his pub
Usher, as a birthday present a Bible.
magnifcently bound, which he enrich
ed by a very f1attering inscription.
This was laid by the grateful pub
Usher in his drawing Don table n
somewhat ostentatiously displayed to
all corners.
One evening as a large company
were gathered around the table one
Of the guests happened to open the
Testament and saw some writing on
the margin. Calling to Murray. he
said. "Why. Byron has written some
thing herei" Narrower inspection
proved that the profane wit had eras-
ed the word ''robber" In the text and
substituted that of publisher" so that
the passage read thus: "Now, Barab-
bas was a publisher"
The legend goes on to state that the
book disappeared that very night from
the drawing room table.
