KEEP THE STATE
CLEAN FROM LIQUOR,

Fargo Forum-The Forum
most heartily agrees with Rev.
F. l.. Watkins that house bill No.
II, which provides for state
enforcement commissioner, shou. ]
become a. law. 1t is one Of the:
most important measures before
the legislature.
The people of North Dakota
are overwhelmingly against the
liquor traffic. They want the
state. laws which prohibit the
sale Of liquor enforced to the
letter.
There was a time, not many
years ago, when the blind pig
flourished and prospered and
was prevalent in almost every
section Of the state. The State
Enforcement league, which is
something on the order Of a
"yigilant committee" sent as
it's representative F. l.. Watkins
to- squelch the illegal traffic i'll
liquor, and he lis delivering the
goods.
But the power. behind the IL
quor traffic is powerful and
persistent, and as long as liquor
can be legally sold in the United
States the only way to keep it
ont of North Dakota. is through
eMerlastin" vigilance. The, state
ought not to leave it to private
citizens to provide police power.
This state has undertaken
mighty big task in prohibiting
the sale of liquor. The Forum
believes its4should not sihirksthat
task. Let us keep our own
house clean. ''1s'''

are likely to be taken out Of

We have good law in North

spects. First, it has conflicts

ministration of the law with
school officers and peace officers,
As a matter Of fact, neither set
of officers have enforced it. We
need a labor commissioner who
will supervise the operation of
the law and inspectors whose
duty it, is to see that the Jaw is
enforced. There may be other
defects, but these are the ones

Many War Horses
Bought In U. S.
Prices pf Horses Will 60 Higher
the Longer War Continues in
European Countries

An interesting article was pub
lished in the. Saturday Evening
Post recently that gives one an
idea of the number OF horses
needed in the war.
Men are sent out over the diff
ferent countries to pick out the
horses that will serve their pur-
pose. The French government,
after accepting a horse, brands
it on the right hoof and left
hip. The gossip that foreign
buyers are getting every sort
and condition of condemned ani-
mails foisted on them is not true
as the men who are doing the
purchasing know their business
thoroughly. Out of bunch Of
$40 at one horse market in Dec
ember in Texas 291 were reject
ed. Another firm bought only
80 out of 200 horses at another
market.
1t s estimated that 300, 900 hors-
es will be used during the first
eight months of the war. More
than 10000 American horses have
already been bought by the
British government French buy
ers must Rave signed up for.
three times that number. The
Germans have Italian agents buy-
ing in this country. These hors1
es sent to the different countries
wilI bring at least ninety-one mil4
lion dollars to this country. The
1nule. market will be good before
long and by autumn it is said
forty7five million dollars will be,
paid for them by foreign buyers
The wholesale shipping Of
horses will not be good for this
country as the farmers will sell
horses they will need i'll the
spring, and the breeding industry
will drop.
According to the article in the
Post 1T costs Great Britain and
France about $500 a. head to de-
liver an American horse at. the
front. The expense is appor-
toned like this: 5000 for pur4
chase; transportation about $50;
insurance $40, feed So. And he
Glas from four to ten days. ser4
vice in the battle line to pay
for himself. After that he pays
with death. Ten days is the
average life Of cavalry horse
at the 'front.'. Artillery horses do
not live as long. Edward Gage,
an agent Of the British gov
ernment, is authority for these
figures: ,
"IIorses constitute but a small
item in the bill for international
butchery. Local. humane societ@
les have censured some Of the
exporters. To think of sending
all those dumb creatures to cert
tain slaughter! they cry. 1t is
unthinkable! True, but we did
it in the Spanish-American War;
we did it in the Boer War. We
line the piers, cheer and wave
flags, the band plays and the
girls throw kisses when a hum
dred thousand of our young men
start for the front. Are they not
going to slaughter too?"
The British purchases are
shipped by way Of Canada, the
French horses go by way Of New
York or Galveston and the G.. +
man go the long route flom
Galveston to Genoa. 1t is
estimated that the Germans % y
$3.50 for each horse deliver {, IN
Germany.
Many horses that have been re
jected so far may be taken .,t-
er when it is found that the
supply is running short. THIS
will also boost the prices.

LOAN TO ENGLAND
IS EXPECTED SOON
Bankers Resume Active Discus
sion of Plan to Relieve For
eign Exchange.

More active discussions among in
ternational bankers of the projected
loan to Great Britain are taking place
and indications are that an arrange
ment will be agreed upon before long.
The impression is that steps to pre-
vent further declines in the foreign
exchanges will soon be taken.
The new loan to Great Britain, it is
understood, will be similar TO that
recently extended to France, except
that the American railroad bonds to
be used as collateral will not be pur-
chased outright, but the owners will
be asked to exchange them during the
life of the loan for British govern
ment securities.
While the financial arrangement re-
Gently made with the Rothschilds of
Paris has resulted in extensions OF
American credit to France estimated
at between S30,000,000 and S5O,OOOOOO,
the impression prevails in financial
circles that the initial loan to Great
Britain will run as high as 100000
COO, and possibly higher This IS
largely dependent, however. on the
amount of American bonds available
as collateral.
The conspicuous feature of the for
eign exchange market yesterday was
the renewed weakness in lire bills.
The check rate broke to 6.29, a new
low record, the market fol- this re
mttance yielding to the pressure Of
heavy offerings in the face of light
demand. Sterling was quie: and gen
orally steady, although it sagged off
at the close to 4.76 7-16 to 4.76lz, off
r. from the opening and lie on the
day.

RUSSO-JAPANESE
TREATY PROPOSED
Demand for Exclusive
Commercial Alliance
Grows i'm Orient.

Zurich, July 27-A dispatch from the
Petrograd correspondent of the Nee
Zuercher Zeitung" states that tele-
CRANES from Hardin announce that
meetings of deputies, intellectuals and
business men have been held to discuss
the question of an alliance of Russia
and Japan to the exclusion of all othe~
subjects. Great Importance is at
tached to the economic advantages Of
such an alliance. In the opinion of the
meeting it should be concluded without
delay, and should be accompanied by a
commercial treaty that would allow
japanese goods to enter Russian mar
kets and replace German goods.
Several chambers of commerce in
Japan have pettioned the government
asking for a state subventiOn for the
encouragement of japanese trade with
Russia.
From a military point Of view it is
pointed out that an alliance with US
STA would consolidate the japanese
conquests in China, and would strength
en- her hands in her competition with
the United States.
Advices from Toxic state that in gov
eminent circles it is declared that the
proposed Russo-Japanese alliance will
only refer to Asia, and will not apply
to Europe.
