Tn the late autumn n of the little boys, who was very fond Of birds

MONDAY, MARCH 9, 1914,
AN INSPIRATION.

That was an inspirational gather
ing that was held at Grand FORKS
Saturday evening. at which were
representatives from the entire north
west. Grand Forks upheld the North
Dakota standard of hospitality ana the
visitors were delightfully."- entertain
ed.
The Forum is Of the opinion that If
would be hard to oVCrcstimate the
Importance of that gathering. II
was termed an Agricultural Achieve
ment banquet and was largely for the
purpose Of celebrating the great ac-
complishments of the past few years
in diversified farming. AS q review OF
past successes it was certainly a gilt
tering success. But there was a broad
or. deeper and vastly more important
significance than this in the gather
ing. The greatest thing about it was
the spirit Of cooperation that ~as
evident.
The city Of Fargo and the city OF
Grand Forks, the state of Minnesota
and the state of North Dakota, the
people Of the city and the people OF
the country gathered about the ban
uuet table to partakc of King Rich
ards fine steaks and marrow bones
and the other products OF North Da-
kota, without any sign Of factional
feeling. 1t was d united gathering
with one purpose, tho upbuilding of
this part of the country.
Important as has boen the SUCCESS
along tho lines of diversified farming,
important as is the rosy promise OF
the future for greater things along
this line. of greater Importance is this
that the whole northwest work in
harmony, shoulder to shoulder, with
the common end in view Of making
this entire section of the country q
teeming beehive Of prosperity, peace
and contcntment.
There is need for every industry,
every city and town and village in
North Dakota. as there is for every
farmer that tills the soil. All are more
or less dependent on the other for
prosperity and happiness. The coun-
try cannot get along without the city
any more than the city can get along
without the country. The railroad
is dependent on the farmer but the
farmer is also dependent on the rail-
road.
And there should be no reason for
one to look with suspicion on the 9TH
er, There is wealth enough and to
spare for all, and the way to make
the most of the opportunities offered
is to bury factionaI differences and to
work together, instead of wasting time
and energy in useless and wasteful
fractional or sectional fights.

ANCIENT CANNON is UNNortcEp.
War Department Visitors Overlook the
Arnold Gun.

= Exchange: Visitors to the war de-
partment in Washington may see a
little old-fashioned cannon occupying
a position at the right of the god Of
war standing near the main entrance
to the department. The chances are,
however, that the majority Of visitors
will pass it by with only q very super
fetal glance, for it is a mere pigmy in
comparison with some Of the modern
guns, being a bronze six-pounder, a
little less than six feet in length and
with only a three and a half inch call
ibre.
The little gun was built in Holland in
1747 for King George of England. It
was brought to America to be used in
quelling the rebellion of the kings
subjects here and from that time has
been closely connected with u nat
ional history.
Tradition tells us that Benedict Ar
mold led a band of American rifiemen
up Lake ChampIain, invaded Canada
and captured the British post of st.
Johns. Among the spoils he took was
this cannon, upon whose barrel Ar
mold had cut the story of its capture,
which may be read to this day. Be
cause Of the scarcity of guns of this
the revolutionary war, it is very prob
able that this, the first gun captured
from the British, vas used by our ar
my in fighting against its former own
ers all through the War Thus the
gun which was made by the Dutch
for the English king to be used in
fighting against the French and Am
orleans, then captured and turned
against it's former owners, has come
to occupy a place of honor and re-
spect at the very throne of war in our
national capital.

This, like the. whole spirit of this
amazing article, is a half-truth which
Is therefor much more grossly false
than it would be if it were a complete
falsehood. Any newspaper knows that
appeals to the citizenship of the sup
Mr.. Mencken seems to typify are
wasted. To be effective such appeals
must be made to the heart and back
bone Of America, that plain people
whom the su~perconceited call "the
mob" or "the rabble".
Good government crusades, Mr..
Mencken says, belong to popular
sport rather than to the science of
good government. 1t q Il For good
government in the abstract the people
Of the United States seem to have no
liking, or, at all events. no passion.
1t is impossible o'get them stirred up
over it, or even to make them give
serious thought to it." Which Is an
absurdity. What the mob thirsts
for" continues Mr.. Mencken, ais not
good government in itself, but the
merry chase of a definite exponent
of bad government" The interest Of

says, have had the faculty of inter-

Mr. Mencken is gracious enough
to allow that good comes of it all.
With the newspaper as "~mob-leader,"
he says, progress is made, if it is slow
and eccentric in its movements.
But this progress is not due, as
his remarkably superior gentleman
would have us think. to newspapers
as mob-leaders, but-so far as the
newspapers are responsible for ito
the newspapers as articulators of the
impulses that well out of the heart of
the plain people and sweep iniquity
before them.
In other words, the newspaper as a
reform agent is not a mob-trainer,'
not the master with a sharp stick
prodding the monster Mr.. Mencken
has created out of his marvelously
distorted thought, but the exponent
and spokesman of the peoples needs
and aspirations for better and higher
things. 3. ..~ y .
