was made district commissioner
to raise funds in the Sweetwater
district for the Southern Metho-

amount BY June 30 he would be
supplied, with a ticket for the
great excursitl 10 Yellow Stone
Park. and a certain f'.rther
amount raised would entitle Mr.,
Hunt to a ticket for the trip.
AT Amarillo they will meet others

paiRn has been a success. The
amount needed 10 meet the con-
ditions has been raised and more

Once upon a time a very smart fox lived in a den in some lonely woods.
Everybody raj anxious to catch him, but he was too clever to be caught.
One day as he was slipping home he heard some ducks saying 'Quack,

"Ah' said Mr.. Fox; they must be over there on the wahrr So he slipped
through the bushes 10 he could peer out over the brook.
Then he saw them swimming gayly down the stream.
He followed them untlt they turned into a pond that opened ito tho
brook. Mr. Fox thought he was sure of the ducks, so he did not try to hide
"Come on out Of the water! he called to them, but at first thew did not
pay any attention to him.
Now, the leader OF the seven little ducks vas a very wise bird. He looked
around at his companions, and maybe he winked an eye. At any rate. the
other little ducks kept very quiet and looked at their leader.
1.-THE wind was blowing straight toward them, and their leader perched his
head o. one side fol a minute as If he were listening.
Mr. Fox had ever been more interested in anything than he was in those
The leader gave a screech, and the whole flock rose into the air.

Right after the dog came mn with q CUR He looked regretfurv after
the wild ducks that were flying away and then at Mr. Fox, who now, very

empire will have forty-two vessels

cally dreadnoughts,4 while Germany

November. 1915, therefore, Great Brit
ain will have attained a margin Of
superiority of 80 per CEN and even
after the additional German vessels
are completed in the following sum-
mer the margin for the British empire
will be nearly 70 per cent. These fig
ures offer remarkable contrast to the
relative strength OF the two countries
prior to what is known as the dread
nought era. Great Britain then pos
sessed sixteen battleships which had
been constructed between 1899 and
1905 to Germany's fifteen, a margin Of
only Sc per cent. In other words, in
ships OF the latest type Great Britain
has advanced upon Germany during
the last eight years to the extent Of
63.4 per cent"
On this showing England is the first
power in naval strength and certain
to hold that prestige for some time to
come. More important than this set

Great Britain and Germany, however,
is the development of amity between
the two nations which has occurred
during the past two years. There
were fears of a clash as recently as
two years ago. Those fears are no
longer entertained, and the fact is a
world.

SOMEBODY

In the words made famous by Ten
nyson, somebody Numbered" in Fargo
Saturday. 1t was not the members of
the two game football teams from the
agricultural college and Fargo college
who lined up on a field a foot deep
in ,slush in a cold drizzling rain to
attempt a game of football. The boys
showed splendid courage by jumping
into the fray and deserve nothing but
praise for their remarkable showing.
AS much cannot be said, however
for those who sent them together
under such conditions,
College rivalry Is a good thing.
Under its stress the hot blood Of youth
mounts high and the tense PARTISAN
ship that is developed may sometimes
lead to an indiscretion. But when
supposedly level headed members Of
a college faculty are carried away by
their partisanship and will insist on
endangering the health Of the entire
membership of two schools by stag
ing a contest under the conditions
that prevailed Saturday, merely to
carry a point, The Forum believes it
is time to voice a protest.
There has been trouble along the
same lines before between the colleges
of North Dakota. The craftsmanship
has become so bitter that in more than
one instance. all athletic relations
have been broken off. And the most
absurd part of the whole business is
that it is generally over some trivial
point, as it was Saturday.
One side issues an ultimatum over
some disputed point. The other side
Immediately refuses to comply and
like a couple Of youngsters that get to
the you will"-"I WON'T stage Of a
quarrel, the tug-of-War is IN.
If it were the students who were
responsible there might be some ex-
sors get into a wrangle of this sort it
appears decidedly childish, to an out
slider.
The Forum does not know who was
responsible for the fiasco Saturday
but it believes that the public is get
ting decidedly tired of such tactics
and if the two schools are TO retain
the interest of the Fargo sport loving
public, on whom they depend largely
for support, those in charge Of the
institution should see that there is no
repetition for such a display.

a DERELICT p

When the first word came of the col
lapse Of a mine in New Mexico, and the
imprisonment Of nearly 800 miners, it
was said that in all probability only
a few lives would be lost. One Of the
owners Of the mine in which the acct
dent occurred was quoted as saying
that the mine had been specially con-
Etructed with a view to the safety Of
the. men who worked in it, and that he
was confident there would be little loss
OF life.
Now. however, it is proved that all
the entrapped men are dead.
Surely the American people and the
American government have not yet
one about the task of reforming mine
labor in the right way. This Is a mar
velously ingenious people. Americans
sacrifice lives daily in their efforts to
p other peoples in the field of
sport Or science, but these losses of life
are voluntary. In the channels into
which men are driven by necessity
there is a highly gratifying degree of
skill by which life is protected. EN-
ployers' liability laws have brought this
condition about in many states. Pub
lie sentiment. unfortified by laws, has
done much in every state.
Only. the miner remains in need of
those aids which spring from ingenuity
and from feelings Of humanity. The
tragic monotone of the story chron-
icling the deaths Of men who labor in
the pit has endured until it falls upon
ears which are nearly deaf-upon
minds which seem to be Indifferent.
Government schemes for the lessening
of the jeopardy in which miners place
themselves are made the subject of
optimistic magazine articles and news
paper interviews-but the miners con-
tinue to die by hundreds.
The price Of coal' is still the sub
ject Of idle jests; but it is inconceiv-
able that America will not speedily
reach a point where all humane peo-
Pile will take account Of the tragic price
paid for much, of u fuel. and inter
cede to the end that il we shall have
to pay mpre in dollars, we shall at least
pay less OF that commodity which VIZ
have not the right to take away from
any man.

SIXTH sat in the hall for the last time
on May IA, 1900. The last act of the
senate was to request the president to
instruct the attorney general to pros
ecute William Duane, editor of the
Aurora, for a defamatory libel.
A committee of congress recon-
mended an appropriation of $780, 900
to Philadelphia as compensation for
the ten years use of the building, but
the expenditure was never authorized.
After congress vacated it, the hall was
used by the courts and the voices of
all of the famous Philadelphia lawyers
rang through it's rooms The building
was abandoned by the courts in 1895
ties have used it as headquarters. The
structure was twice threatened by fire,
in 1921 and in 1851, but little damage
was done.
