Forums Argument
Used on Congress
to Save the Birds

The following is from The Congress
sional Record of March 5:
MI. Young of North Dakota: Mr..
Chairman, it might not be amiss to re-
mind the house that it is the agricul-
ture appropriation bill We are sup
posed to DO considering today. The
debate which has been running along
this afternoon has been entertaining
and perhaps to some extent instruc-
tive. 1t looks q little as though the
tariff question is still an absorbing
one. / have noticed today that when
a speaker began to take up the sched-
ules of this bill and discuss the mer-
it's of it these seats were quickly emp
tied, and when@thei sp~ellbinders were
turned loose on the tariff the retir-
ing rooms were quickly emptied.
During the first session OF this con-
gress I Introduced Al resolution to pro-
vide for printing 100000 extra copies
of Farmers Bulletin No. 513, Fifty
common birds Of the farm and or
chard." This bulletin contains much
valuable information and pictures
showing the colors OF the birds. Writ
ten descriptions of birds furnish, at
best, a poor and uncertain OF
identification, SO this bulletin Is valu-
able alike to the lover of birds and TO
those who would know from the CO.
.non1ic standpoint those birds which do
harm and those birds which are bene-
fetal to farms, orchards and forests.
The bulletin is generally believed
to be the finest ever issued sby the
department Of agriculture. The entire
original edition was soon exhausted,
and I presume every congressman has
received hundreds Of requests for adj
|ditional copies.

MONARCHY IN FRANCE.

For almost half a century France
has been continuously a republic. Yet
there are still. abroad prophets of evil
who say that the monarchy will come
back. and that France is not lit for
Self-rule.
Prof. George c. Hill, of the Univer-
Sity of Geneva. is the latest calamity
bowler. In an article which has caus-
ed much comment in Europe, he says
h a the monarchy is necessary to re-
strain the fantastic dreams of the
French people. The monarch he in
sists was trained in the incompatible
school Of a great tradition, was able
10 distinguish more clearly the real
from the unreal, fact from felton,"
and had as the aim 1.-The moral and
material unilcation of France and the
extension of her boundaries" Finally
he treasures us that the return OF the
monarchy will simply mean the return
to the splendid traditions to which
France owed SO many centuries of
greatness

The committee on printing gave
sympathetic consideration to the res
olution and had decided to report
favorably, when the chairman Of the
committee on appropriations is said
to have objected to the cost, which
was estimated at $4,000. .
After recording a debate the
subject, a debate in which many of
the members of the house took part,
The Congressional Record. continues:
Mr.. Young of North Dakota: Mr..
of the bird bulletin is great. I pre-
sumo every member of congress can
testify to that. 1t is reflected not only
by letters requesting copies, but by
the press. Charles w. Sibley, editor
Of The Rolette IN. Do Record, de-
clares that the preservation of bird
life is a greater question than the
tariff question, the currency question
or the Mexican problem, and in an
editorial he quotes The Fargo Forum
as follows:
Note particularly what The Forum
editor says about the responsibility Of
| parents:
THE boys who are breaking the law
in this way, and thus putting them
selves in the way OF arrest and
punishment, are not to be too severely
| censured. They are but following the
natural instincts of the boy. But the
parent who allows the boy to take his
gun out and slaughter the beautiful
and valuable song birds is much more
to blame.
The editor follows this with a wise
suggestion:

to parents: Instead OF buying him a

SOME REFLECTIONS.

Here Is a lesson that The st. Louis
in that city:
Tho n stubborn, harsh fac.
which stands out in connection wit I
the N. A. c. tragedy is that the men
who ,>st their lives in the fire need
NOT have per~ished-that their deaths
constituted a needless sacrifice.
The habit Of fixing the blame
does not help, as a rule. The truth is
that in the case of the average disas-
ter, many people must DO made to
bear the burden of blame. In the case
of the NJ. A. c. holocaust it is to be
feared that everybody in connection
with the tragedy may be charged with
oversight and thoughtlessness, if not
with actual blame.
The owners Of the property, the
lessees of it, city officials, the officers
OF the association, even the members
all should have known that in case
OF fire in the night, the building was
not a safe one.
There is need Of greater precau-
tion, of a more observant habit of
mind, on tho part of the public itself.
"A town that relies upon it's ofic-
ials will always come to grief sooner
or later. The manner in which ofic-
ials are chosen is a species of dissi-
patton; IT. has no Scmblance to the
performance Of d solemn duty. Good
and efficient officials arc almost the
exception to the rule. AS for the city
officials whose duties lie in the field
of safety from fire, it is obviously
impossible for them to do their work
in any but a superficial way. It is In
fair for Intelligent and well-informed
people to rely upon the city officials
in such q case.
There is needed a recognition of
the fact that in most matters every
man must be his own keeper. No mar
ought to go to bed at night without
knowing that he is In a safe place,
or that he can surely reach a safe
place in case of trouble. There is ur-
gent need of self-reliance, of proper
d1strust OF the sort of service that is
bought wholly with money.
1.-THE lesson to be learned from the
destruction Of life in the NJ. A. c.. is
that every intelligent individual
should rise above the stupidity of the
animals that are caught and destroyed
by going into traps"

gun, get your boy q pair Of good field
glasses. or even a good pair of opera
glasses will do. Then write to one of
the North Dakota representatives in
congress or to the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture in Washing
ton and request them to mail you a
copy Of Farmers Bulletin No. SIS.
This bulletin is entitled Fifty Birds of
Farm and Orchard. The name gives a
good description Of the book. 1t con-
tains some very valuable information
Of about fifty of the most common
birds which inhabit the United States
and almost all of them are common
to this part of the country. The book
is illustrated with colored pictures of
each one of the birds described.
"This little book also contains a very
compact statement of the value of
birds to the farm and fruit-land own
ers of the nation. 1t is said that in
sects yearly cause a loss of upward
Of $500, 100000 to the agricultural
interests of the nation. The bulletin
makes this statement: Were it not
for our birds the loss would be much
greater. and indeed it is believed that
without the aid Of our feathered
friends, successful agriculture would
be impossible
A Fargoan who is greatly interested
in birds and bird life made the state
ment recently that it would be a good
thing if every school child in America
could have a copy of this bulletin
placed in his hands. 1t should at least
be possible to have a copy in the
hands Of every school teacher in the
country. The bulletin will be furnish
ed free by the department Of agri-
culture"
I hope this editor had the gift of
prophecy, and that extra bulletins will
be printed, thus making it possible
for the department to supply the
bulletins to those who request them.

cations, the bird pamphlets, withttheir

ADVANCING STANDARD
OF THE PRESS.

Gunnar B. Bjornson in The Mime
ota (Minn.) Mascot: These last years
have furnished many concrete exam
Piles of the advancing standard Of the
country press, which examples have
in many instances been followed and
mighty journals of the metropolitan
centers.
Most evident in this connection is
the general tendency of all the better
class O. newspapers to close their COL
umns to liquor advertisements and
patent medicine fakes. In every case
where a paper does this, it closes a
liberal and certain feeder for it's cash
drawer. 1t means pecuniary loss to
the paper, it means the disfavor of a
strong financial factor. it means the
cutting off Of a liberal supply of the
essential and almighty wherewithal.
But when we stop to think what it
means on the other hand, there can be
no doubt about the correctness Of the
course.
AS a mighty moral agent the news
paper sustains toward it's community
a relation that it must not lose sight
Of. 1t should not bring into the homes
and to the ireside of it's constituency
the alluring, the deceiving, the lying
invitations of those who would 0
hesitate to wreck health, homes and
hearts in their wild scramble for
wealth..
When the health of the people and
the happiness of homes is under con-
sideration, there is but one side.
And by tho grace of God and the
high character of the men back of the
press of this state, our papers are in
constantly increasing number taking
the higher ground, choosing the side
Of the common man, the common
homes, the omnon veal of this our
great commonwealth.

Throw Away Your
Eye-G Glasses!
A Free Prescription
You Can dHave Filled and Use at Home.

Do you wear glasses? Are you a
victim Of eye-Strain or other eye-
weaknesses? IL so, you will be glad
to know that there is real hope for
you. Many whose eyes were failing,
through the principle of this wonderful
free prescription. One man says, after
trying it: II was almost blind; could
not see to read at all. Now I can read
everything without any glasses and
my eyes do not water any more. At
night they would pain dreadfully; now
they feel fine all the time. 1t was like
a miracle to me-" A lady who used it
says: "The atmosphere seemed hazy
with or without glasses, but after us
ing this prescription for fifteen days
everything seems clear. / can even
read fine print without glasses It is
believed that thousands who wear
glasses can now discard them in a
reasonable time and multitudes more
will be able to strengthen their eyes
so as to be spared the trouble and x
pense Of ever getting glasses. Eye
troubles of many descriptions may be
wonderfully benefited by following the
simple rules. Here is the prescription.
Go to any active drug store and get a
bottle of DIPLOMA. Fill a two unc bot
tie with warm water, drop in n OPP
iona tablet and allow to dissolve. With
this liquid, battle the eyes two or four
times daily. You should notice your
eyes clear up perceptibly right from
the start and Inflammation will quick
ly disappear. If your eyes are bother
ing you, even a little, take steps to-
save them now before it is too late.
Many hopelessly blind might have
been saved If they had cared for their
ayes in time.-Advt.
