NELSON W. ALDRICH.

History will treat the fame Of the late Senator Nelson W. Al.
drich far better than contemporary critics did toward the end OF
his official career. He became the target of Democrats and insur-
gent Republicans, especially during the discussion of the Payne
tariff measure, while it was being passed and after it's enactment.
Recognizing the influence of reteration and the psychological val
ue Of personifcation, his critics used his name as a synonym for
methods in government which they bitterly asssailed.. Yet even
his most critical colleagues privately admitted that he was an hon
est, sincere man. Only once was he charged with a personal in
terest in any Of the tariff schedules he defended: Mr. Mr.; Br Tsto
brought out the only public defense Of himself Mr.. Aldrich ever
made. He showed conclusively to all unbiased followers OF the
controversy that the attack was grossly unjust. That MI. Al
drich's viewpoint conceded with that of large business men is not
remarkable, for he had been a business man himself. Only the
most venomous or the most ignorant Of his critics ever intimated
that he received orders from big business"
Mr.. Aldrich was for a great part Of his long career in the Senate
a dominant figure. While lacking the eloquence of many of his
colleagues and never indulging in profound legal discussions, he h
was a master of details of legislation and his remarks, in commit
tees and in the Senate, We're always enlightening: In fact, ne aG 6.
quired a reputation for on1iniscence that was scarcely deserved. 1t
was impossible for any man to become an expert on the multitude
of subjects with MI. Aldridge dealt. But there was one conspicu-
Gus service for which he should receive everlasting credit. He
was the guiding spirit Of the Monetary Commission which studied
the currency systems of all the countries of the world and made
recommendations Of the most valuable features OF the Federal
Reserve System. This commission carried on a campaign OF edu-
cation which prepared the bankers Of the country to make intel
ligent criticisms of the crude Glass bill. It also, through the CO.
operation of the newspapers, educated the general public as to the
necessity of a more elastic currency. Impartial historians will in
time give MI. Aldrich his full share Of credit for this achievement

Though the industrial pace in 1914 was comparatively slow
and there was extensive unemployment during the latter half, de-
posits in the savings banks of the state Of New York increased by
thirty million dollars during the year; but that is hardly a salts
factory showing in view of the fact that interest credited to de-
positors, in the mass, put in no new money and drew out over halt
the interest credited to them.
This country has more savings deposits than any other, but less
than it ought to have. The mutual banks, which are most at
tractive to depositors because they offer both the maximum of safe
ty and the maximum interest return, are still mostly confined to
the North Atlantic seaboard. In these banks the depositors get
all their money earns, less expenses. Many nonmutual banks that
handle savings deposits for the profit of their stockholders are ably
managed and as sound as any institutions in this country or else
where; but among such banks there have been scandalous failures.
In some state supervision has been lax or lacking altogether.
If the depositor selected a sound bank his money was safe. If he
selected a rotten one it was lost. There ought to be no chance of a
rotten one. The fear of it handicaps thrift, for to most persons
who are not nisers surplus cash on hand is temptation to spend
There is very little risk incident to the business Of a savings bank
that is honestly and intenigently managed. The failure of a saw
ings bank, with any loss to depositors, is always absolutely mex
cusable. The sign Savings Bank" ought everywhere to be a
guaranty of solvency.
The mutual banks of New York have more than three million
depositors or deposit accounts, owning nearly two billion dollars
of assets-a fund the total social value of which it would be hard
to compute-SaturdayE Evening Post.

OF THE
EXPOSITION

The Secretary of the North Dakota
Commission with headquarters in the
North Dakota building at the San
Francisco exposition, again wishes to
call the attention of the people Of
North Dakota who intend to visit the
exposition to let him know and he will
be more than pleased to see that their
hotel reservations are made. He now
has a list of dependable hotels that he
has personally Investigated, and will
be glad of an opportunity to assist any
North Dakotan in securing the right
kind Of accommodations. Rates are
from $3.50 per day per room upwards.
Meals extra, of course. ,
The North Dakota Commission to
the San Francisco exposition is send
invitations to all p%otteries in the Unit
ed States to have their representatives
visiting the exposition to call at the
North Dakota building and inspect the
display of pottery there. The exhibit
has been attracting a great deal Of
favorable attention, but it is the desire
of the Commission that capital be in
fluenced to the state for the purpose
of developing this great industry.
Rev. MI Gerraghty Of jamestown,
N. D., was prominent visitor at. the
North Dakota building last week. He
was just starting for nolz<, ana said
that after he had seen the whole coast
North Dakota looked better to him
than ever, and he hoped that more Of
our people could see the coast, for then
they would be satisfied to remain at
home the rest of their natural life.
The register in the North Dakota
Building at the San Francisco expo
sition tells some good things. Many
former North Dakotans are register
ing every day, but it remained for one
man, who used to live in the state to
place after his name the following EN-
tence: II once lived in North Dakota,
and rejoice in the memory" Another
visitor who now resides in North Da-
kota, had the following to place after
his name: II once lived in California,
north and south, and am glad to, get
back to North Dakota to meet a sum-
mer season."
Judge wallin, one Of the first Of the
three judges Of the North Dakota su-
preme court, called il, the North Da-
kota building at the exposition the otn-
er day. He now resides III E|,!Chicago.

James J. Hill in a recent speech said that we do not want any
more tinke1jng with the tariff: We agree with him, only the tin
done too much tinkeling, not only with the tariff, but with almost
everything they have touched since Wilson took the chair.

The cate ofsLeos Frank of Atlanta, Ca, is a peculiar one. He
was tconv1&stedof numbering a factory girl by the name Of Mary
Phagah, And.his conviction was brought about by the confession
of a negro, who possibly was the murderer hnnselfs@sHis case has
the sentence q death stands against him; and theonly way he can
now escape the gallows:is by the governor Of Georgia either par
doning him or committing his sentence. His case has attracted
national attention and thousands of honest people have, signed!
petitions to have him pardoned. AT all events, we believe. that
there is a possibility that he is innocent, and in that case We do not
man to death upon the confession ola negro; especially in the
south, Seems to be a parody on Justice. Thousands of true. Aner-
cans will watch and hope that Frank is either pardoned or his sen
|tence committed, and if the governor of Georgia has the back
bone to stand up to the: rack and give him a pardon, he will re-
ceive the praise of the whole country. 80. =.
Never in the history Of the World has there been such attention
paid toward the health of the public as at present, and yet we be-
ieve that work along this line has only begun. Scientific medical
men have spent their lives in research to locate the causes and the
cures for various diseases, and they are accomplishing much. Only
a few years ago d%yphtheria and many other diseases were thought
to a certainty if taken in time. Even consumption is now among
the possible durable diseases. The many societies, both medical
and others, are continually working along the lines of more SAM
tary conditions, as they realize that diseases are generally brought
about by unsaniary conditions. Let the good work go on. Every
city in the land should do it's part in this great work, and if they
methods to head off disease is to see that things are cleaned up in
the spring, and to that end let every one of our citizens do his or
her part in this work. "Clean up' should be the watch word of
every city, village Or hamlet, and we will find that our health con-
dulons will be greatly improved.
In the death of Mrs. r. M. Darrow, of Fargo, the state and ma
ton has lost a noble woman, and the loss to the Women's suffrage
cause will be keenly felt by her associates. For years she has
been identified with many good movements in this state, and few
women had as large following, or more near and dear friends than
she.

DAINTIES FOR WAITS
MADISON SCHOOL PUPILS AND
OTHERS SEND THANKSGIVING
OFFERING TO ORPHANS
HOME.

If one-half the children of. the state
were to contribute as literally toward
a Thanksgiving dinner for the in
mates of the orphans home at Sioux
Falls as have the pupils of the Mad
ison public schools, it would be pos
sible, without other aid, TO royalty
feast the waits just about every day
in the year. Dainties, groceries and
wearing apparel are included in the
list of things donated by the schools
and others here and forwarded this
morning to the home by Mrs. S. T..
May.

at all times many little ones whose
parents have either abandoned them
or have died Ii is supported entire
ly by the charitably disposed citizens.
The followig was sent from here
by school pupils:
Sixty-four quarts canned fruit, 81
glasses and jars of jelly. bushel of
apples, barrel of potatoes and other
vegetables, s heads cabbage, $3.50
worth Of groceries, SO cents worth of

merous times in the chest, back and
shoulder. The Mexican attempted to
hold up and rob Hall, but the latter
grappled with the man and prevented
his getting large sum of money he
carried in his pockets. The assailant
has been arrested. Hall is in a Sc
rious condition.
Pierre-That the Indians of the
northwest have not given up the idea
that they will be paid for the Black
Hills by the general government is
evident, as the association which is
pushing such claim is being kept
alive. The principal claimants are
the Sioux. The Cheyennes also are
interested parties They have called
"a meeting at Cherry Creek, about
100 miles northwest of here, for No
vember %. When the Black Hills
was set aside from the Sioux reserva-
tion ii is claimed that no payment
was made to the Indians
Bradley-No trace yet has been
found of the three men who made
their escape from the county Jail.
The fugitives are William Goor. Roy
/ Mclaughlin and John Norman. One
was charged with breaking into a
Bradley store, another for selling
stolen goods and the third for giving
liquor to minor The three men
worked so quietly that the jailer, who
slept in the courthouse that night,
did not hear them when they pried
open the door. They tore their bed
to pieces, wrapping the bed clothes
about the ends of the rods used in
prying. The quilts and mattresses
were laid on the floor TO deaden their
footsteps.

WAR SUMMARY
OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, Nov 24.-Special: To
the recent presence of Field Marshal
Kitchener on the Gallipoli peninsula
probably will be attributed the re-
sumption of activity on the Darda-
nelles operations. From German and
Turkish sources come reports of vio-
lent fighting on the tip of the penin-
sula in the neighborhood of Seddul
Bahr. The Cologne Gazette charae-
terizes the new operations initiated
by the entente allies as "a great of
fensive movement"
The -armes of the central powers
are still pressing the defending forces
hard in western Serbia, but the Serbs
and Montenegrins are offering the
strongest resistance. The Montene-
grins are giving battle TO the invad-
ers along the Drina and Linn rivers
and at several points are said to have
repulsed them, while in the Ibar val
ley Serbian rear guards assumed the
offensive.
The Austro- -Hungarians as they ap-
proach the Kossovo plain, in the re-
gion Of Pristin, are being met by the
Serbs frequently in hand to hand en-
counters. but they still continue to
push forward and are now declared
to be approaching Pristina, both from
the north and the east. Although
both the Berlin and Vienna commu-
nications daily announce large cap
lures of men, a dispatch from Aus
trian headquarters estimates that
the Serb army numbers between 130,-
900 and 10000 men.
1t is reported that the Serbs at
Monastr are receiving reinforce
ments and the British also are send
ing up men to the front through
which the Bulgarians had hoped to
drive the Serbs across the border into
Greece or westward into Albania.
Additional forces of men and guns
are being landed daily by the en-
tente allies at Saloniki.
Hard fighting still is in progress
on the Austro-Italian front, with the
big guns of the Italians working hard
on Grodizi and other sectors. Ac-
cording to Vienna, the Austrians
have driven the Italians from all the
positions they had captured around
Oslavia. and also elected the Italians
who entered the Austrian lines in the
district of San Martino.
Little is going on either in France
or in Russia except artillery bonn
bardments and sapping operations.
British and French troops have
captured the city of Tibati, in the
German colony Of Kamerun, West
Africa, where the sultan and popu-
lace are said to have welcomed them.

BAND CONCERT.

In due appreciation Of our popu-
lar musical organizations, The Madi-
son City Band. everybody should
make special effort to attend the
concert to be given at the opera
house next Monday night. November
90 The band will not only render a
variety of excellent music. but will be
assisted by the best of the local tai
ent, in vocal and string selections.
Bandmaster Spears, in commenting
upon the ability of our local talent,
makes the statement that he consid-
ers the acquisition of such good tai
ent in SO small city to be a FORUM
ate circumstance, and without prece-
dent in his experience. The solo
numbers played by individual MEM
bers of the band will doubtless please
you, and the assurance of a packed
house makes ii incumbent upon you
to purchase your tickets at an early
date. BY all means benefit by the
lesson as taught in the biblical tale
of the ten foolish virgins. The ad-
mission fee has been placed at so
cents. Tickets on sale at Smiths

New Penitentiary Needed.

The population of the state lnstitu
tons for the criminal and III
sane of Ohio is growing by leaps and
bounds, and in spite Of the fact that
in every case, with but one exception
the boys school at Lancaster-tne in
stltutions are caring for hundreds
more than the regular capacity. The
excess population of these state insti.
tutions on November Is, 1914. was
4,246, while on July II, 1915, it was
1878, or an increase of 727 within
eight months time This increase is
considered remarkable when it is con-
sidered that the institutions are now,
and have been for the past three years,
crowded far beyond their ordinary Ca
pacity.
The largest gain is shown at the
penitentiary. On November Is last,
the population of this big prison was
LAS, while week ago it was 1928
or 1853 in excess of its capacity. The
capacity of the state prison is officially
given as 1000. OF the prisoners who
are considered regular inma-e es of the
prison, -76 are regularly employed at
the brick plant near Junction City and
II are now working on the new prison
farm near London. Others are en-
ployed outside the prison, but are not
included in the count of 1850, the num-
Der actually being housed there at the
| present time.
