VIOLATION OF BOROUGH ORDIN-

The Citizen, from time to time,
has called attention to the violation
of borough ordinances. In the first
place, what is the use of passing
borough ordinances if they are not
to be regarded? The town councils
of the past have passed certain or
dinances which are supposed to gov
ern the town. Money has been spent
in advertising same and a booklet
printed containing them. Giving
all due respect to our borough au-
thorities, we ask, why are they not

Daddy's Bedtirne
~ Clever Nh.
OrOV - Mole's Revenge on
Farmer Hickey.

"~ r all the animals the farmer dishkes," began daddy, 81 think the
mole takes the lead, for he is more destructive to the farmers Land
than any other animal IL be wishes to be. And Mr. Mole hates the
farmer too @
"One spring a farmer named Farmer Hcky was taking great pains IL
blowing up his fields. But in so doing his pow went through Mr.. Molee
house, which was, of course, under the ground, and Mr.. Mdes lovely little
children had their heads cut of by Farmer Hickys cruel plow. This grieved
Mole very much, for the year before Mrs Mole had been killed the same
he would get wen with Farmer E1cky even If 1t took the rest Of his life to
do So
$50 Mr.. Mole lay low until after Farmer Encky had finished all his plow-
ing in the field and had commenced his earden. Now and then Mr.. Mole came
out of the ground % see how far things yer getting along. Then hd put
his head in his paws and just laugh and laugh, thinking all the time. We'll.
old Farmer Hicky, I'll get the best OF you yet
He saw that Farmer Hcky had planted onions, beans, radshes, potatoes.
and cucumbers. He waited until they began to grow very nicely,
which, he decided was the time for him TO begin his work.
Farmer Hicky's farm va very, very large, the end of which vas O the
border OF a little lake where Farmer Hicky had rows Of beautiful flowers
growing.
SO Or. Mole started in to plow up under the earth and made his mounds
extend out to the lake. Each night he would make a new one.
FARMER H1cky became very much worried, for gradually he Ia all his
vegetables upro0ted and everything torn up and dying. He knew 1t must be
a mole, he laid Ill sortso Of traps % catch him. But Mr.. Mole was too
sharp or h farmer and, besides, he IA on the lookout for all such traps
n a Mr. Mole al smart enough to do his work at night the farmer could
never see hmm moving under the earth and * catch him that way.
FINALLY farmer Hcky got 70 angry he was raging; and he had all his
farm hands trying to locate Mr. Mole and his dogs trying to scent where he
was.
One day the dogs were almost on his trail but they couldn't scratch up
the earth n get under the ground as far a little MI. Mole could. The dogs
vent quickly after him, but he beat the dogs right to the lake and pumped in
the wateran landed o the back Of his old friend, MI. Turtle, and whispered
in his er the tale Of his glorious revenge" *--

take a tablespoonful in a glass OF

Women.

Mary Katharine Reeley in The Sur
vey: It was 10 o'clock on the down
town streets. They seemed strangely
deserted: for the stores were closed.
late shoppers and loiterers had gone
home and the theatre crowds were yet
housed inside. absorbed in their even
ing's amusement.
Then in the darkness there came a
startling sound-the sound of wo-
mems laughter.
A dark mass, like a small army,
came down the street-women. They
were black-garbed. o1d-past youth at
least. They wore queer, small hats,
and each carried a bundle loosely
wrapped i'll newspaper.
They cut the corner, and scurried-
like a flock Of sheep. perhaps, that fol-
low a leader; or rats, perhaps. that
flee a building (only they were going
in)-aCross the open street to the
great building that doomed on the OPP
posite corner. Some time between the
hour of the departure OF the last lin
gering worker and that Of the arrival
of the mornings first conner, this huge
building must be gone over, cleaned
and put in order.
The scrubwomen were going TO
work-and they went laughing!
Yea, verify, women's place is the
home! Women must be sheltered
protected! Womanheod is sacred!
| Motherhood is divine, Woman's hands
+! must be kept unsulied, her shoulders
free from burdens! -
1t was 10 o'clock on the downtown
streets. The scrubwomen were going
to work-and they went laughing!

MERRY" CHRISTMAS.

II la n pity tho lesson of Christmas
over the other 364 days of the year.
What makes Christmas stand II pre-
cminently aS the merry" time Of the
year? Simply the spirit Of giving.
The truth OF the statement. "it is
more blessed to give than to receive
Is the fundamental doctrine Of real
happiness. 1t Is the foundation Of tho
Christian religion, an Yet selfish
human nature gets but an inklinE Of
the real JOY Of his spirit from the
universal cheer and happiness OF the
Christmas season.
Christmas must be a bleak. cold,
dreary. dismal day to the person who
has not caught tho spirit Of giving.
What must be tho feelings Of the per-
son who sits back. sour and grumpy,
while all the world is filed with a
happy, laughing. joyous throng, intent
on giving pleasure to some one else.
Even that person who starts u in
8. purely mechanical way to buy n few
presents as n matter Of duty. will find
u little OF the spirit OF the occasion.
In Fargo. this year as last. there
has been An abundance Of the spirit
of good cheer and good will. The
Forum Good Fellow movement and
the other movements. on tho part Of
the churches and other agencies. have
provided amply for all the institu-
lions and. it is hoped. all the individ-
uals who might otherwise have lacked.
There is every reason to believe that
every person in Fargo n MOOrhcad
will have cause to feel glad tomorrow.
There will he no issue of this paper
tomorrow, as The Forum will observe
he day by taking a complete holiday.
and it wishes all it's readers a very
merry Christmas.

Pomsr and lta ABUSE.

Columbus. O.. Dispatch: The great
trouble in Mexico is hat there is no
man there who has shown the ability
TO get power without abusing it. Ma
derO thought chiefly Of himself and
his friends; Huerta's iron hand is us
ed in destroying those who oppose
him anil in eXalting himself: CarranHa
Is a mixture Of idealism and tyranny;
Villa is a butcher and bandit; Zapata
is a mere brigand.
Every n OF them. as he has gained
power, has used it for his own selfish
purposes: and the man who was SUI
prcmc at the moment has always CX-
cited the envy Of all the others.
The disposition to abuse power, the
moment 1t is gained. and thus to de-
feat the highest success never had a
sorriCr exhibit than in Mexico.

What Ono Party Needs.

New York World: If the national
republican committee could restore
conscience and principle to the politi-
cal organization for which it speaks,
it would not need trouble itself about
a new basis of representation in its
conventions. In such a case. even the
silence OF the distinguished negro of
the south would be eloquent.
The Republican party needs a new
heart, a new aim. a new inspiration
and platforms and restrictions in rep
r~csentation to be taken advantage OF
by tho very bosses who have brought
1t to it's present low estate.
One leader like Woodrow Wilson
would be worth more to the repub~
lican party at this time than a humid
red schemes for reorganization.

EDITORIAL COMMENT

Buffalo News: The policy adopted

president Is a policy of getting rid OF
as many as possible OF the experience

that country as quickly as possible.

Tie in the development of the islands to

out example In the history of colonial
work, there Is also the adoption or
the policy that puts the native in com
mand, so that the majority Of those In
controlling PLACES in the islands are
made up Of natives.
Such a policy Is directly in conflict
with the doctrine of the man who
knows the Philippines better on the
whole, probably, han any other man
in America. and that is em-President
Taft.
In a word tho policy adopted in the
Philippines is being put through under

into our American life during the

law and in the world of industry
has disappeared. We may doubt
that any republican policy
wrought this change. But we, nan
no be quite sure.
At any rate, an experiment look
ing to the abatement OF this evil,
urged by q large proportion of the
voters of the nation, may be well
coined. The country is strong
enough to survive a few mistakes,
And possibly the programme now
being shaped is not based upoi

Again we suggest that for the

Let us hope that time will bring

Senator Root Wholly Wrene.

Philadelphia Record: Senator Root
may be unsurpassed as an ~eNpounder
Of the constitution or OF the laws of
nations; but that does not make him
an expert in currency and banking,
or in legislation to regulate tho same.
Tho fault he found with the Glass
owen bill is one that had escaped no
tiCe of all the bankers who had sub
ieCted the measurc to careful and
sometimes hostile scrutiny. The SEN
ator says the bill would permit unlim-
tied imitation; but the currency could
not be increased to more than three
times the amount of the required spe-
Cial reserve, and its amount would be
limited by the ability of the banks TO
get and maintain the amount OF gold
needed to back its note issues, More
over, every reserve bank receiving for
deposit i notes OF any other would
be required to scnd them Immediately
to the bank Of issue for redemption;
and the notes are not available either
for reissue by the bank or for a re-
serve. Any redundancy Of the cur
rency would thus cure itself. Senator
Root was wholly in the wrong.
