GOOD ROAD LEGISLATION.

The North Dakota legislators are
going about the good road proposition
with care and systematic effort that
augurs we'll for some legislation Of the
right kind along this line. So many
suggestions for improving the roads
Of the state were advanced that the
aolons appointed a special committee
70 draft a bill that would include a
comprehensive plan of highway build
Ing for the state.
Last week The Forum offered a sug-
Eestion for a law that would include
q township supervisor. who would re-
ceive SUFFICIENT compensation so that
he could spend all his time, during the
summer, at work on the roads of the
township. This idea has already been
presented in the form Of a bill, pro-
Siding for just such a supervisor for
each township.
This township supervisor should Of
curse be simply a cog in the good
roads machinery of the state. There
should be a state highway commission
to make a study in a broad way of the
entire good road problem in North
Dakota and to evolve some systematic
plan Of highway construction.
The question of good roads is en-
Ezging the attention Of the entire ma
ton as never before. The old anti
Quated system of working out the road
tax is being abandoned for the modern
sxstem of cash payment of road taxes
and having the work done under con-
tract. Wherever this has been tried
Il has proved a success.
The need Of such a system in North
Dakota is conceded by practically all
who have given the matter any
study.

SENATORIAL CIGARS AND HATS.
Colorado Msn Are Likely to Show Re-

Colorado Men Are Likely to Show Re-
sentiment at Eastern Comment.
Denver Republican: Eastern news
papers commenting upon the fact that
the first ever to sit in a legis-
lative body as a senator, on the OPEN
ing Of the Colorado legislature, graci-
ously permitted her male colleagues to
continue their practice Of smoking dur
ing assembly hours. at the same time
renouncing a woman's privilege to
wear her hat in public gatherings,
rblandly remark that the male sena-
tors can do no less than lay aside their
cigars in return.
However much it may look that way
to editors in states which are still
cropping in the darkness of single suf-
frage, they must know that in Colo
RADIO the effect of the double franchise
has been rather to conform the woman
to the rule laid down by man than to
cause the original voter to modify his
ways or gentle his The
Colorado legislator has always wooed
the goddess Nicotine in his quest for
inspiration. The occasional woman
who has been lifted to his heights has
found it necessary to smile through
the smoke fog or retire to the cloak
room when it grows too thick to
breathe.
1t is one Of the ways the mail poll
tician has for letting 1t be known that
he was not surrendering any rights
he really valued when he took woman
into partnership in the game of divid-
ing the jobs. Ii much more lis made OF
this concession of the women senator
in taking off her hat, then your male
senator VIII be putting his own on his
headLand an end to such talk as that.

CORNERS FORBIDDEN.

The supreme court OF the United
States has indicated by a decision
handed down a. few days since in the
Pa9ten ease, that the sherman anti
trust law is effective and vitaa in pre-
venting speculative corners on com
fnodities.
Several years age James A. Patten
and those associated with him formed
a pool to buy cotton, and they were
indicted under the Sherman law. The
United States circuit court held that
certain counts in the indictment were
insufficient, and the government ap-
pealed to the supreme court of the
United States where the case was re-
rnanded for trial.
The opinion of the highest tribunal
ia that the corner Of any commodity
IS Interstate commerce and a violation
Of the law, as the corner operates 10
thwart the commodity from the nor
NAL currents of trade, to enhance the
price ~artihcially, to hamper users and
consumers from satisfying their needs
and ito produce practically the same
evils as does the suppression Of com
petition
The attorney general of the United
States interprets this decision TO
mean that the anti-trust law is a pow
erful instrument to prevent the ad-
vancement of prices by those men who
corner markets by buying heavily Of
any particular commodity for their
" enrichment, as he points out that
Injunction proceedings may be entered
to stop and make ineffective such
deals before they are carried out.
The effect Of the decision, it is be-
lieved. will be f~ar-reaching in that the
principle involved will extend beyond
the speculative field in making Of the
Sherman antitrust law a vital stat
ute in its bearing on other violations
of the rules of supply and demand.

u NEW DIRECTORY.

The Pettibone Directory Co. has is
sued its 1913 directory OF Fargo and
Moorhead, and al usual the book Is
noted for it's accuracy in the spelling
Of names and for the rarely OF typo
graphical errors. The Forum possibly
uses q directory as much as or more
than any other establishment in the
city and 1t has always found Mr.. Pet
tibone's directory exceptionally ac-
curate in every detail.
The appearance of the 1913 book
and the care and detail shown in It's
makeup, places MI. Pettibone in the
front rank Of American directory
publishers.

TUBERCULOSIS.

Lady Aberdeen, wife OF the lord
lieutenant of Ireland and a leader of
the fight against tuberculosis in that
country, is much impressed with the
progress Of the campaign in the Unit
ed States. She is now in this coun-
try and has visited several institu-
tions in the east. The Forum on Sat-
urday published her picture and told
something of what she is doing here.
Preventive measures are being adopted
in all countries. but Lady Aberdeen
says America leads the world.
1--WE have so much to thank you
for-and by we. Of course, l mean
Ireland-for you have helped us so
much,' she says. "Your scientific
bodies, your research workers and
your charitable associations have kept
us in touch with the progress made,
have supplied us with literature, and
have helped in every way to fight the
big fight"
Notable progress has been made in
Ireland, as shown by the falling num-
Der of deaths from tuberculosis. In
1907 there were 1900. In 1911 the
number was $500. The figures for
1912 are expected to show a still fur
ther decrease.
Lady Aberdeen regards the fight on
tuberculosis as essentially a work for
women. She is president Of the
Women's National Health association
Of Ireland. Her reason for regarding
it a work for women are tersely putt:
"After all, it means simply good
food, and clean things, and an open
window, doesn't it? It is a matter of
the conduct Of the home, and that is
a woman's business
In the United States there are nu-
merous movements for improved pub
lions in the home. Not all of these
are specifically directed against tu-s
b~erculosis. Americas vital statistics
show a decline in the number of
deaths from Observation-Disclosures yet.
it is true, but none the less certain.
With so many agencies operating to
the same end, Americans will doubt
less see within the next decade a re-
markable reduction in tuberculosis
deaths as compared with the present
time.
Lady Aberdeen is so encouraged
with what she has seen in the United
States that she predicts the disease
will be overcome just as smallpox has
been practically overcome.
