Daddy Bedtirne

IF the barn door happened to be open or the pigsty could be reached. in

when every one was very poor a loss like that vas felt by the family.
'f the father OF any big brothers happened to be away from home then
the boys and girls would be more anxious than usual, for wolves when very
hungry sometimes followed and killed travellers. "

They would hang the bladder on the outside Of the house DR. barn SO that
every breath Of wind would send it Hopping up and down, making a queer
noise as it struck the wall
Then when the wolves cam creeping out of the woods they would see the

creatures, afraid Of what they did not understand. would turn tail and scud

president had asked him to take the
bank off the hands of himself and the
directors by means OF notes with
worthless signatures. The notes were
prepared and the purchaser got them
discounted at the cashiers window
while the directors were waiting his
arrival in another room.
To lead the directors TO believe that
he had brought the money from out
side, the purchaser fingered outside
a few minutes and then rushed into
the room, saying as he laid the non
on the table: There, gentlemen; /
have just come up from the financial
district A director was a bit sur
prised that the purchaser was not
afraid to carry so much money on his
person along the streets, but was as
sured that two guards went along.
The case is a good example of the
difference between the more spec
tacular method of the bank robber and
the peaceful looting by means of high
financial legerdemain. The same
principle has been worked in other
financial deals Of much larger size, but
generally the %financiers get away with
1t without discovery.

POLICE A SYST EN-.

At last the New York police graft
investigation has reached men higher
up" From the complaint made by a
hotel keeper named Sipp that he was
paying graft mon to a policeman
named Fox, the trail has been follow
ed to a captain, an inspector, and, 1t
ig said, has seriously involved a civil
liam oficial very high up at police
headquarters, and the end is not yet
IN sight.
From the night Rosenthal. the
gambler. was killed because he was
about to make disclosures of graft by
the police to District Attorney Whit
man, the police OF Americas largest
city have been under fire. Mayor
Gaynor has steadily pulled back from
the time Becker was accused until the
present day. He has finally been
forced to agree to the suspension of
an inspector, a captain, and subordin-
ate oficers. Captain Walsh. one of
the accused men, has made a full
confession, duplicating men higher
up.
In addition to this, the former part
ner Of Rosenthal, one Purcell, has
come forward to shed further light on
the graft scandal. This is in itself

WEDNESDAY, FEB. 12, 1918.
THE SCHOOL SITUATION.

As a result Of the decision of Mr.
Siders, not to accept the superintcnd
eney of the Fargo schools in the face
OF the storm Of popular protest that
has been raised by the action nf the
board OF education in naming a new
man to head the Fargo school sys-
tenn, the situation has been some
what clarified. 1t must now be patent
to the board Of education that the
people of the city do not want a
change in the SUPPLEMENTARY of the
Fargo schools.
The Forum believes that 80 per cent
or more of the people of Fargo want
Mr.. Hoover retained. The reason
they want him to remain is that there
has not been a single valid reason
advanced for his removal, and the
people are we'll satisfied with the way
he Ne running the Fargo schools.
A. stated in the first comment that
wns made on the action of the board
in hiring Mr.. Siders, the big ques-
ton with the Fargo people was,
''w4syy' That question has not been
answered. The explanations so far
given for removing Mr.. Hoover, have
been trivial and unsatisfactory.
II 10 openly charged in street rumor
that there r personal reasons for
removing Mr.. Hoover. This has been
dAEiy denied by the six members Of
the board, bat until some other sat
iBfactory explanation Is made by them,
they cannot expect anything else than
that the people will believe that there
is something to this charge.
Another criticism is that certain
members OF the board are more in
terested In other schools than they are
in the public school,
whatever the real reason for re-
placing MP. Hoover with another man,
1t should be a stronger one than any
SO far advanced by the board of edu-
cation. Mr.. Hoover found the Fargo
school system in a state of chaos. He
has built 1t up into one of the smooth
est running and most efficient systems
to be found in the country. 1t Is a
system Of which the people of Fargo
are proud and they want pm bet
ter reason for making a change than
the within of part Of the members OF
the board of education.
The public schools are the most I'M
p6rtant part OF the public life Of the
city. They touch every home directly
and in a most vital way. The people of
Fargo as a whole are above the aver
age OF the nation in intelligence and
they are perfectly capable Of running
their school affairs. They demand that
Mr.. Hoover be retained.
