Little Orphans.

|"%wAoM is a fuzzy Angora" daddy told Jack and Evelyn. HE is as kind
Is he is handsome. Tom lives in. Brooklyn, and his MASTER keeps a
few fine chickens.
tom until lately never noticed the chickens. Not long ago a
cross dog moved into the neighborhood. Tom does not caea about dogs. He
chases them out of his masters yard whenever they come in.
one day when Tom al taking a stroll along some of the neighbos' fences
the cross dog managed to slip into the yard. No M "a him, and he went
nosng over 70 the chicken yard, where Mrs. Biddy had a fine young family.
A soon as the hen spied the dog she began cuckng with alarm.
Perhaps that made the dog angry, for he few at her and, though she
fought wildly soc killed the poor thing.
Only Toms mistress vas at home and she vas afraid to go into the yard
to chase the dog out ~.
Tom heard the noise, though, and came running down the top of the fence.
He sprang down, landing fairly on the dogs back and digging his claws into
the animals back so that he howed with pain.
Try as he would, he could not shake the cat of, and he made a dash for
the gate with Tom still on his back.
Tom jumped down when the dog got outside and made his way back into
the yard. where his mistress carefully closed the gate

THE BASEBALL TRUST.

Ty Cobb's disagreement with he
manager of the Detroit baseball club
has precipitated a resolution N con-
gress authorizing an inquiry into the
workings Of the alleged baseball trust,
with a view to ascertaining it's Iiabil-
tty under the Sherman antitrust law.
Representative Gallagher of Illinois,
who introduced the resolution, says he
has received assurances from a former
owner Of the Philadelphia National
league team that the latter can dis
close the names Of witnesses and give
tips for conducting the investigation
to a successful finish. Sen. Hoke
Smith of Georgia is examining the
contract submitted to Cobb.
The resolution alleges that unjust
determinations exist against players,
who have been coerced and deprived Of
their just rights in making contracts,
and that competition has been stifed
in such a manner as to result in the
killing off of competition, thus fore
ing players to accept the trusts terms
or stay out of the game.
Baseball is the great American sport.
In times past it has been saved from
the blight of gambling such as has
cursed horse racing. If the national
commission has grown as naughty and
unfair az the resolution alleges, it is
time to call a halt.

BLOOD POISONING,

People generally are needless of the
danger Of blood poisoning from wounds
that puncture the skin. MANY a per
ilously close approach to death-manv
a painful fatality-would be avcrted if
everybody made the practice of
promptly rinsing with an antiseptic
solution every hurt place where there
is broken skin.
The necessity of this prccaution is
painfully enforced by a dispatch from
New York telling of the sad condition
OF Ambrose Kelley, who was a we'll
man a week ago last Wednesday. but
in "skylarking' with a friend struck
one of his friends teeth with his open
hand, the result being a slight abrasion
Of the skin. There was a small flow Of
blood, and Kelley thought no more of
the matter till Friday when his hand
became sore. Saturday he went to/ta
doctor who recognized a bad case Of
blood poisoning and sent his patient
, to a hospital where he now -LcS his
whole system permeated With poi

SATURDAY, APRIL rs, 1918.
THE COMMISSION ELECTION.

Next Wednesday the voters of Fargo
will face the heaviest responsibility
that has been placed before them in
some time-the selection Of the first
commission to govern the city. 1t is a
responsibility hat every voter should
ponder deeply
Fargo's business affairs are in a sad
muddle. To straiShten out this mud
die will demand brainy men. Every
voter should take the list Of candidates
and a it thoughtfuIIy and carefully,
remembering that he is to select the
men who are to handle his municipal
business affairs.
The Forum has great confidence in
the judgment and good sense Of the
voters of Fargo, il they can be arous-
ed to the responsibility that rests up
or them. 1t has absolutely no inter-
est in the selection of the four men
who will be named commissioners,
other than the best interests Of the
city.

CRIME AND THE PRESS.

Recently The Forum expressed its
views on news features dealing with
the darker side of life. Since then an
attack has been made on publicity of
this sort in the United States senate.
Commenting on this attack The Du-
luth Herald says:
The country has been treated
through q recent address in the Unit
ed States senate, to another Of these
recurrent attacks on the press for the
publication of the news of crimes. If
we are to believe the words of the
esteemed senator, the murders and
other criminal acts that mar the peace
and dignity of the various states are
to be traced to the newspaper accounts
of; similar acts previously committed.
How long before seekers of notOri-
ETY. will get tired of talking such bal
derdash as this? They would have us
believe that without newspaper pub
Iicity there would be no crimes; yet
murder and arson and robbery We're
more prevalent in the world, If we are
to believe history, before the publica-
tion of newspapers was begun than
they have been since.
If the honorable senator's theory
were correct. the wide publicity given
the Thaw case should have resulted
in the immediate preparation of doz-
ems of similar crimes. The assassina-
ton of President Mckinley should
have insured a similar fate to his
successor; the recent attack on King
Alfonso of Spain should have been
followed by similar attacks on the
other European m~onarchs; and every
crime that is given publicity in the
press should be followed by others
every publication of the commits
sion Of these should bring on a fresh
crop until there would be room In the
newspaper pages for nothing put mui-
ffnIied exports of bloody orgies. Fol.
low the charge to it's logical conclu-
sion and nobody can help but see tbs
folly of it.
As 4 matter of fact, the neWspaper
publicity given to acts OF this char
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1913-04-26

acter constitutes ono Of the strongest
deterrent factors known to society.
There are on record numerous in
stances in which the publicity given
TO h commission of a crime has led
to the arrest of the criminal ever
after he had made what seemed to be
a safe getaway. In every instance the
arrest and the punishment Of the
criminal are likewise given publicity,
so that the work of the press, so far
from being a means of melting to
crime, is in fact a teacher of the pow
er of the law and a deterrent to those
who might be tempted to think they
could escape the consequences Of their
acts should they become involved in
a criminal case.

Show People CAUGHT in a Flood.


Ida Keck Virgins in Leslie's: The
Ohio flood caught the Cohan & Harris
Co. Officer $50 in Dayton.
The members of his company were
imprisoned for two days in Phillips
house, expecting death mOmentarily.
Then, somehow, they got over to the
Arcade, across roofs. and a manicurfst
took them in and kept the entire COM
pany there until the waters reCeded.
FINALLY the waters subsidized and the
company was ready to get away. Huge
ltruCkS had come over from Springfield,
where there was a train soon to leave.
For four miles the company followed
on foot, carrying a part Of their bag
gage. FINALLY they reached the place
where the trains stopped. The cars
were just about to pull out when
Manager De Milt waived to the en-
gineer and tagged the train. The COM
pany started to run, but one man fell
forward. dead from exhaustion and eX-
element. He was picked up and car
ried to the train. His funeral was held
later in Springfield.
The next morning the members Of
the company went down to the Fair
banks theatre to open their trunks.
Everything was covered with mud.
1t didn't matter how securely the
trunks had been closed, the mud had
seeped in. Beautiful gowns, street
clothes, ~Valuables Of all sorts, were
flung aside to right and left.
The things that were not sent to
the laundry were dried on the stage
of the theatre, the lines being stretch
ed from beneath the prosCenium arch
to as near the floor as possible.
The manager then set. a squad Of
fifteen men to work repairing the prop
critics. Saws, hammers, nails, paint,
varnish and paste were whisked out,
and eager hands began the work of
restoration. Five thousand dollars
worth of oil paintings, which are used
in the set Of the piece, had escaped
the flood just by an inch. as the water
came up to the top of the wooden
paneling on the stage. The wooden
walls which were paneled were shriv-
eled like the skin Of ar old man; the
fine brocaded furniture was inches deep
in mud: but the hose was turned on
tapestry, screen panels, and furniture
and the warm sunshine dried them out.
Across the alley in the yard Of a
church the furniture and dTaperies of
Officer 666 were spread out to dry! A
few rare books were saved and set up
on a table in the alley to dry. The
company is said to have lost $4,000
in personal property, but they put on
their show like heroes lust the same.
