A c II THAT FAILED.

Joaquin Miller, Poet of the Sierras,"
who has Just died in California, has
been little nor than a name to the
present generation.
In his prime he combined a pictur-
esque individuality with the tempera-
ment Of an artist; and because of mis-
persistent efforts to have his work ac-
'cepted. he was for a time successful
as a poet, and later as a playwright.
Candor compels the statement that
Miller wrote few lines that were
memorable, and perhaps no complete
works which bore the impress of a
master, says The st. Louis Times.
Forty-three years ago he went TO
London to achieve the distinction which
had been denied him in his own coun-
try; and while there he wrote a
sketchy diary which explains clearly
that his line of attack consisted in
getting acquainted with the poets who
lived in the British capital at that time.
They were generously friendly toward
him; but they would not give him that
small addition to his talent which
would have placed him where he as
pired to be.
Perhaps the true quality of his mind
and character is indicated less clearly
In his writings than in the closing
years of his life. which were spent
close to natures heart, and in sympa-
thetic communion with those sublimi-
ties which he never quite succeeded in
Voicing.

take charge of affairs in Mexico.
Madero has been kicked out and the
friends of Diaz are again in control.
It is impossible to even guess at the
under currents of intrigue which are
at work in that unfortunate land, but
that its affairs are in a sad state of
chaos is apparent to all who read.

CURES RHEUMATISM
Quickly Eases Stiff, Sore, Swollen
Joints and MuscIes-DriVes
Rheumatic Pains
Away.

1t is needless to suffer any longer
with rheumatism, and be all crippled
up, and bent out of shape with it's
heart-wrenching pains, when you can
easily avoid it.
Rheumatism comes from weak, in
active kidneys, that fail to filter from
the blood, the poisonous waste mat
ter and uric acid; and it is useless to
rub on liniments or take ordinary
remedies to relieve the pain. This
only prolongs the misery and can't
possibly cure you.
The only way to cure rheumatism
is to remove the cause. The new dis
coVery, Croxone, does this because
1t neutralizes and dissolves the
that lodge in the joints and muscles,
to scratch and ~irritate and cause
rheumatism, n cleans out and
strengthens the s~topped-up, inactive
kidneys, so they can filter the poison
from the blood, and drive it on and
out of the system.
Croxone is the most wonderful
ic rheumatism, kidney troubles, aud
bladder disorders, You will find it
different from all other remedies.
There is nothing else on earth like il.
1t matters not how old you are, or
how long you nave suffered, it is
practically impossible to take it into
the human system without results.
You will find relief from the first few
doses, and you will be surprised how
quickly all your misery and suffering
will end.
An original package of Croxone
costs but a triie at any first class
drug store. All druggists are auth
orized to sell it on a positive money
back guarantee. Three doses a day
for a few days is often all that is
ever needed to cur the worst back
ache or overcome urinary disorders.

THE RUsRER ATROCITIES.

A few years ago.. when the scandals
In the Belgian Congo region became
known the United States-as a nation
expressed horror that such distress
ing conditions should be permitted by
any nation,
But in Peru the Indians are held in
a condition Of revolving peonage by
means Of advances Of merchandise.
The attention Of the British govern
ment has been called to this cOndi-
ton, as the company responsible Is
under British finance. But the Brit
ish government has hesitated to act
because Of the position Of the United
States. The sentiment in England has
been that Intervention by England
might be construed as inimical to the
Monroe doctrine. It Is unlikely that
actual correction will be had until
there is pressure from without the re-
public. This pressure, 1t seems to
many, should come from the United
States.

FRIDAY, FEE. 81, 1918.
NORTH DAKOTA MADE GOODS.

In view of the statewide campaign,
inaugurated by the Fargo Commercial
club, urging North Dakota goods for
North Dakota people, there is con-
siderable significance in that item
which was published in The Forum
a day or two ago, that Devils Lake
had specified that posts made by a
Fargo foundry were to be used in its
new white way system. The contract
called for an expenditure of $12,955 and
of this, 1t is estimated that about
$780, 900 will be paid for the posts.
Another item Of equal significance
was published in The Forum yester-
made in Fargo" are to be used in
the construction Of 500 miles of good
highway in northern Minnesota,
In both these instances the Fargo
made goods were in strong Competi-
ton with goods from larger cities
and they Won out because they had
merit. They were able to stand up"
alongside all the competing goods in
the open market. In both instances
Fargo also had the advantage Of be-
ing nearer the point Of delivery.
The Forum Is Informed that Devils
Lake also took into consideration the
fact that it would keep North Da-
kota money in North Dakota" to
spend 1t in Fargo rather than send 1t
to the twin cities or some other plant.

Lake boosters.
They are live wires In the satanic
city. They believe in Devils Lake in
the lake region and in North Dakota.
The metropolis of north central
North Dakota Is fortunate in having
a citizenship composed Of progressive
hustlers who are awake to every op-
portunity to boost the home com
munity. No city in the state has a
more loyal bunch of boosters. And
they are putting Devils Lake ION the
map in q way that will make all the
other cities in the northern part of
the state step lively to follow the
pace.
The Forum believes that it was a
very wise o to make the home
production campaign state wide. 1t
has already borne bruit and will con-
tinue to do so. Fargo should be big
enough and broad enough to take in
the entire state In a movement of
this kind, and there should not be the
least hint of exclusion of any product
made anywhere within the confines of
the state,

IN THE HOTEL LOBBIES

during the recent Home Product show
which attracted such large crowds and
was pronounced to be the best ever.
AS is known, Mr.. McHose's associa-
ton was giving the show and he was
a mighty busy man when it was going
on.
One day a man stepped up to the
secretary of the commercial club and
asked:
Where will 1 find Mr.. Shoes?" and
the secretary said he didn't know Of
such a man.
The stranger remarked, Maybe I've
got that name mixed somehow. know
that it has something to do with. the

Stocking. Do you know him."
Once again the secretary stated that
he knew Of no such nan 1t then
dawned on the stranger that he was
looking for the head of the manufac-
turers and he so told the official Of the
commercial club and was directed to
Mr.. McHose. Since then Mac" an
