MAYOR SWEETS STATEMENT.

Elsewhere in The Forum will be
found a statement by Mayor Sweet
giving a very complete and compre-
hensfve u of Fargo's financial
condition. Every citizen of Fargo
should read this statement, carefully
and thoughtfully.
A. most citizens of Fargo know,
Mayor Sweet has been a staunch ad-
Vocate of the commission form of gov
eminent ever since the law was pass
ed by the state legislature. and was
one OF it's strongest supporters at the
election three years ago.
Since he took Office as mayor he
has devoted much time to the financial
condition Of the city. and is in q po-
sition to speak with authority. His
figures show that Fargo, under the
ward system Of government. has been
run in such a slip-S{Tod way hat it's
finances are in q muddle. There is a
deficit. which has been accommodating
with the years.
Such a statement from the mayor at
this time clears the atmosphere and
places the question ~squarely before
tho voters. 1t Fargo to continue the
old ward system and get further into
debt or Is the city to adopt up to- date
methods and run its affairs as a busl-
ness and not a political proposition?

PICK UP YOUR SPADE.

To preach economy is comparative
~ as easy az to practice it is difficult.
This may account in some small de-
gree for the number Of persons who
are constantly alert for opportunities
to tell other persons to save the pen
mics; to stop waste. But most Of this
is preaching thrown away. It Is sell
dom applicable to conditions as the in
dividual finds them. What is really
needed ts a large school of men like
Roger W, Babson, banker, of Boston,
WHO Will tell the people not so much
about how to stretch the dollar bill to
the uttermost ~tenuity. but how to cap
italiz6 SURPLUS or l~eft-oveTN energies,
says The Detroit Free Press.
Mr.. Babson ISL to do this very
thing:
In my backyard there is a gold
mine. From that mine, which some of
my friends persist in calling a garden,
1 have mined hundreds of dollars of
real wealth-potatoes, beets, turnips,
beans, corn, squashes and lettuce.
This Is the solution Of the cost Of liv-
ing problem"
What Banker Babson has done the
humblest and poorest persons may do
If there are handy a backyard and a
few pennies for seeds. The bigger the
garden the greater the return for the
energy expended. remember.
Banker Babson adds this opinion:
THE fate of this country rests with
the millions of capable men and WON
EN- who are able to support them
selves, truly support themselves, by
actually raising their own food on
their WI land with their W hands
Mr.. Babson's words are inspirations
al enough to put new courage into
the most beset of wrestlers with the
cost OF living problem, and to set
scores and hundreds busy with shovel
and hoe and rake within the next few
weeks.

tons in This State Should
Get List.

The department of botany of the
North Dakota Agricultural college
has published a check list Of North
Dakota plants, ferns and Towering
plants. This is put up in the form of
a double indexed card measuring 5xS.
1t shows the chief families of native
plants in order, according to Britton's
Manual, and lists all Of the plants al
alphabetically which have been collect
ed by Professor BOlley or n of his
aSsitants-that is, 1t represents q full
list Of standard specimens now found
in the A. c. herbarium.
1t is the idea that the list will be
used as a pocket guide to the plants
Of the state. 1t will, Of course, be of
not understand h usage of the regu-

names are given. 1t will, however, be
Of particular interest to those engaged
in making local collections or her

classifying the native plants. This will
be sent to any teacher of botany or
any specialist who is particularly in
terested in plant classification on ap-
plicatiOn to the department of botany,
North Dakota Agricultural college.
The following is quoted from the
fourth page Of the list:
This abbreviated check list has
been issued with the hope that it will
help the various botanists and collect

DEMOCRATIC OPPORTUNITY.

With the democrats in power in the
executive as we'll as both houses of
the legislative branch Of the federal
government, the responsibility is now
with them to meet the requirements
OF the American people. The house is
overwhelmingly Democratic, and the
senate q a safe democratic margin.
This condition, with a democratic pres
idsnt, makes the party in full control
responsible for the complexion of the
administration, the character of legis-
lation enacted, and for whatever is
done by the federal government.
II the democrats are wise in their
course, and do what the masses of the
people ant them to do. there will
probably be an Endorsement and rati6-
cation Of their performance at the
hands of the people, but if they commit
the folly OF dividing their forces and
fail to accomplish anything along the
line OF progressive legislation as prom
Used in their Baltimore platform they
will give the republicans hope of re-
turning to power at the next general
election.
II the democrats do anything at all
it must be done within the next two
years for at the expiration Of that
time q new house Of representatives
and thirty new senators will be elected.
While 1t might be hard to displace
the democratic house. the slightest in
fiuenca on the public would have q
tendency to change the democratic ma
jority in the senate into a republican
majority. and for party expediency
alone. without regard to its equity, an
emphatic policy OF reformation should
be adhered to by all the democrats in
the senate. for unless this is done there
iB going to be trouble.
President Wilson has a definite poll
icy, based on the platform pronounce
n1ents OF the party which the demo
cratic must support, or else
the people may at the next general
election reverse their recent decision
and give their president a hostile COM
gresg.
The republicans are alive and alert.

ON RYE CULTURE
Important to Follow Winter Rye With
the Right Kind Of Crop Says
Secretary Cooper.

Secretary Cooper Of the North Da-
kota Better Farming association has
issued the. following bulletin in re-
gard to rye, which should be read by
the farmers Of the state. 1t fol-
lows:
winter rye shells more or less in
the field every fall, and a sufficient
amount survives the winter so that
there is an admixture in the succeed
ing crop, which, if it happens to be
wheat, to very detrimental. For this
reason it is advisable to follow the rye
crop with barley or oats. Thus the
volunteer rye is secured in a feed crop,
one where it does no damage, in fact
is an advantage. On the other hand,
it is almost impossible to clean rye
from wheat, and the rye crop should
never be followed by the wheat crop.
ut is important to follow winter
rye with the right kind of crop, and
particular attention should be given
this significant point. The farmers of
the state can " themselves money
by observing the right sequence of
CROP"

the democrats viii blunder in a failure
to meet their obligations to the Amer
Jean people. ...
Senator Cu1nnins, who remained a
republican last year In spite of adverse
conditions and inevitable defeat, avs
The door Of opportunity is now
swinging open to the republican party,
and If we do not enter. our temporary
defeat may be final and our organiza-
ton disappear from the political world
Senator LaFolIette, however, the
leading progressive of the republican
party, seems not to be so hopeful OF his
party's recovery, for he is in sympathy
with the Wilson administration in so
far as a number Of progressive meas
ures are concerned, and he is relied on
to give his support to them, regard
less Of what effect his attitude may
have on the future Of the republican
party.
In the meantime the republicans are
trying to popularize their organization
by the employment of different meth
DDS in their conventions, realizing, as
they do, that no party a long survive
oppressive machine methods by which
a minority of the party is enabled to
triumph over the majority. There is a
cleansing process going on in the re-
publican party, as the old leaders are
hoping for something to turn up that
will give them a chance to return to
power, and they want to have their
party in condition to take advantage
may create.
The main thing to be done, and
which any party would have to do to
remain in power. is to make an honest
revision of the tariff. Standpatism all
but destroyed the republican party. It
caused the republicans to be driven
out. To be a standpat republican Of
the typical type was to assist every
assault on privilege, abuse, and wrong
in the affairs of the nation. This kind
ViVe, for under it the wrongs were
multiplying n the burdens were in
croasing, and at last there was a re-
vulsiOn and revolution even within the
republican party, resulting in disinte-
grafton and defeat Of that party and
complete triumph for the democratic
party.
Mark Hanna in 1896 formed a CO.
partnership between the republican
party on one side and Wall street and
the tariff benefciaries on the other, and
while his cry Of stand pat won for
the republicans then. 1t served as their
avenger and destroyer in 1919, for now
the American people have come to their
senses, demanding that the heel Of en-
riched privilege shall be taken from
their necks.
The wise ones of the republican par
ty will no longer employ stand pat
as their battle cry. They will no long
err try to carry out the Mark Hanna
policies, but they will try to get closer
and serve more faithfully the people
than they did in the past.
If the democratic party does not
meet it's obligations to the people the
republicans will step in and perform
that service.
