WEDNESDAY, OCT IS, 1913.
THE FORUM PROSPERs.

Without putting forth any special
being added to the list Of readers Of
The Daily Forum, with each passing
week.
Never in its history has The Forum
enjoyed a more prosperous period and
this is especially true in the subscrip-
ton department.
During the past week The Forum
augmented it's subscription list at
Casselton and now has 40 subscribers
in that hustling little city alone. This
is a fine showing in one town the size
of Casselton.
The Forum has also added hundreds
OF new subscribers in the past few
weeks on the Minnesota side, 1t Glyn-
don, Hawley, Lake Park, Detroit and
Frazee. To accommodate the readers
in those cities, The Forum gets out q
special mail edition, each of the towns
mentioned being reached by The Fo-
rum before 6 p. m. the day Of publica-
ton.
And from the entire state, the sub
scriptions pour in on The Forum, many
Of them without solicitation. In the
words that have become almost
classic:
There's a reason"
- The Forum is giving its readers the
news they want WHILE IT IS NEWS,
and its editorial policy is on a disin-
terested basis.
Compare any issue Of this paper
with any other local, state or foreign,
day after day and week after week,
and 1t will be found that The Forum
is days, sometimes weeks ahead on it's
state and local news service-and right
up to the minute on it's news of nation
al import.
The Forum overs ALL the news of
North Dakota ALL the time. Il does
not make an occasional spasmodic eff
fort and then fall back to q few items,
Compare the news service with that
of any other competing paper, day aft
pr day, week after week and month
after month n the reason for he
popularity Of The Forum with the peo-
pie of North Dakota will be readily
apparent.
~ The Forum receives many letters
and many verbal congratulations on its
editorial policy. The people are learn
ling that The Forum is one Of the very
lew papers being published in the
northwest which are absolutely free
from n political ENHANCEMENT. It
views every political move, local, state
and national, from an entirely disin-
terested standpoint, and is thus en-
Hbled to give its readers a fair and
unbiased opinion.
This will always be the policy Of The
Forum under its present management.
This paper is now conducted on a.
strictly business basis and believing If
is a matter of good business. as well
as the only fair thing to it's readers, to
keep its editorial page absolutely free
to criticize any man, party or measure
at any time.

DRAINAGE FUND BILL.

Drainage congress to establish a.
drainage fund and for other nurposes

Champ Clark and known as FL, r, $3.50.
will, if it becomes u law in it's essen
tial features, mark an epoch in he
history Of inland improvements. The
department Of agriculture estimates
that there are in forty states over TO-
100000 acres of swamp and overflow
land reclaimable for agriculture and
grazing. 1t is estimated that 10000. 600
acres of this may be reclaimed for
crop production under present condi-
tons. About $50, 900, 900 acres Of land
now too wet for best results, can, by
drainage, be made to produce at least
one-ffth more crops.
Experience in private drainage dis
tricts has shown that a single wears
crop will defray the expense of drain
ing and protecting from floods land
erstWhile valueless but thereafter of
great value. Unfortunately private
drainage districts are unsuccessful
along the great streams, for floods
descend from districts over which in
dividual land owners have no control

the entire country. Under it the gov
eminent would pay only for such
work as would promote interstate
navigation OF improve the public
health. The. expense Of draining and
reclaiming lands must be borne by
those Immediately benefited. All OBJ
~jections as to invasion of the rights
of states and contiscation of property
are met by detailed provisions of the
bill. The only possible criticism of
the measure is that too much atten-
ton may have been paid to obiec-
lions of a rather captious character.
Congress has acted wisely in estab-
fishing the great irrigation system.
Tt cannot consistently refuse to take
steps to reclaim the vast empire of
crop-producing land which passage
OF the drainage fund bill would ulti-
mately bring. And the devastating

knows his life to have been, well. lived
and his days to have been dotted with
good deeds done for others.
The foregoing being so strongly of a
personal nature, it seems to be up to
us to give it turn that will lend to it a
more general character. This can per-
haps be best done by attaching hereto
shall build for mankind q more kindly
existence. Though this world is filled
almost to o'erfioWing with churches
and with fraternal societies, there's
still too little OF the milk OF human
kindness served from man to man.
To too great extent the churches, and
to much greater extent the societies,
only to those who wear the church
frock or the society regalia. What we
stand much in need of is a ~broadened
humanity which, with much greater
frequency than Is common, will forget
self and give free-Will aid to others.
We are today (and probably eve have
been) too quick to find fault, too slow
to praise; too prompt to condemn, too
tardy to commend; too prone to magni-
fly the faults OF others. too backward in
paying open tribute to their good quail
ties. Many of us carry telescopes with
which to search out mistakes and
shortcomings, and trumpets with which
To blazon tnem Ioftn TO greedy ears; Yet
have We at the same time worn smok-
ed glasses and been afflicted with
hoarseness of voice when viewing or
speaking of good deeds we'll done, of
helpful general service disinterestedly
rendered.
Were we preaching, we'd appeal for a
broader humanity, for more of atten-
ton to the little things than Of cropping
for the big, for more searching for lit
tie opportunities at the foot Of the
cross than Of gazing at what hangs at
its top. Though this world is full Of
roses-in gardens, in fields, in homes
and business houses, along all of life's
highways and byways-too many OBJ
serve their beauty, inhale their per-
fume, pluck them and keep them only
for self, forgetting that there be many
whose walks could be- wonderfully
frightened were some of the flowers,
with their fragrance, to be passed
along. There's certainly food for hours
of thought, material for multitudinous
helpful showers Of blessing in that
idea that: The gardens of life hold
many roses, some Of them white and
some of them red. All of us are fond
of roses; but prefer 'em now, not when
we're dead.

The following from The Wittenberg,

A POEM, AN APPRECIATION
AND ALSO A PREACHMENT

In your garden are many roses,
Some Of them are white and some are red,
Really, I'm very fond of roses,
But 1 want them now, not when I'm dead,
Don't wait to show me your affection
When the earth is piled above my head.
In your garden are many roses,
But I want them now, not when I'm dead.
Why wait until my labor's ended?
Don't you think it better if you said:
please accept this bunch of roses;
You want them now, not when you're dead"
For In your garden are many roses,
And their blossoms, like our years. are sped,
Yes, I'm very fond Of roses;
But l want them now, not when I'm dead.

fully about free sugar. In all prob

find means to grow more sugar on an
acre than they have been doing, and
will make more money than ever, just
as Texas has with cotton since the

cheap, but they are a small portion of
