gust /. 1t will depend very largely

ira session Of congress. IL THAT is done,
and the republicans in the senate make
up their minds that it will be good
party tactics to oppose ite-theyGWill be
apt to begin by holding up h tariff
bill. This would be a way of setting up
O. general blockade. In consequence of
it, the passage of the tariff bill might
be much delayed. Gut these are at
present only possibilities.
The c%ertainties just now are that a
united party is at the service Of Pres
ident Wilson in carrying out his pledge
of moderate and cautious tariff reduc-
ton, His positive declaration last
week that he would admit Of no com
promise on any Of the vital points of
the bill as it passed the house, had

FRIDAY, MAY 20, 1918.
PREPARE FOR BIG WEEK..

During the Masonic homecoming
week, Fargo will entertain thousands
of visitors from near and far. Promi-
nent Masons from all over the nation
are coming. Hundreds of Shriners
from every temple in the northwest
will be here. The homecoming feat
IRE will attract a large number Of
former residents of Fargo who will
come back to have a fraternal love-
feast.
It will be a splendid opportunity to
show Fargo at it's best and brightest
and arrangements have been made to
have a firm of decorators come to the
city who will be able to transform the
city. 1t is to be hoped that every citi-
zen of Fargo will enter into the spirit
of the occasion and do his share to-
ward putting the city in gala attire.
Fargo merchants are noted for their
up-to-dateness, their loyalty to the
city and their willingness to take hold
on an occasion of this kind and The
Forum believes that they will see the
opportunity and that the downtown
districts will be ablaze with color and
brightness. But the residence district
should also get into the game" and
every Fargoan should do his share.
Fargo has some beautiful residence
streets. and as, The Forum has previ-
ously mentioned there has been a
great deal of work done in beautifying
home grounds, this year. 1t would be
greatly to the benefit Of the city if al
grounds could be in shape, clean trim
med and handsome, for this special
week. The city was never in better
shape to entertain visitors and it will
be too bad if the effect of a whole
street of well kept lawns is nullifeC
by the neglect of one property owner.

The Theatres
Goats Had the Applause.

The Bulgar Animals, known as the
Circus Day at Squash Corners, n
which are made up of eight finely train
ed goats, furnished a great deal OF fun
and wonder for the patrons of the Or
.pheum and Manager Fowler was con-
graduated on his selection Of the en-
tire bill. These lively CRITTERS" as
some called them. are great comedians
and performers and they made plenty
to laugh at. It was one Of the best
animal acts that has been seen here,
and was most unique. Tierney, FL
mer and Bernard in their own little
sketch entitled The Fakir, brought
many a laugh to the audience and they
were given we'll merited and hearty
applause. .
Miss Evelyn Dare, who for the past
eight months has been the spotlight
singer at the Orpheum, is making her
farewell appearance the last of this
week and her song, Goodbye, was ex-
ceedingly we'll sung. She was much
applauded. Wagner & Diggs had their
own little playlet which was well put
on and pleased the audience n called
for encores. Mylie & C.rth, in their
singing and talking turn also went well
and they received their share of APP
| plause. The Coscio orchestra n the
moving pictures were also excellent
Next week the great talking moving
pictures will be on and these from their
novelty will be sure to fill the house.

call for the inauguration of 1 cent lett
ter postage by July 1'of this wear.
Senator Burton has-long championed
the battle for 1 cent letter postage,
while Representative Bartlett has ia
vored the cheaper rate for many years.
A strong advocate OF the lower rate
has appeared in the person of Hon.
James j.. Britt of Asheville, N. C. Mr..
Britt recently retired from the position
of third assistant postmaster general.
Upon being. asked for his opinion Of 1

no uncertain tone. .-. D..
I am heartily in favor" declared Mr..
Britt, "of the immediate reduction of
letter postage from 2 cents an ounce to
l cent per ounce for these reasons:
1T will promote general intelligence,
and will improve the social relations of
the people.
1T will advance the business inter-
ests of the country, by lowering the
cost of communication. :
The rate of / cent an ounce for let

which the reduction will induce, will
defray the cost of handling and trans
