sulphur and comfortably coiled his
tail around the keg, they tell me
that you are one of those fellows
who knocked his home town.
The newest candidate for hellish
punishment hung his head in
silence. He had no excuse against
the fearful indictment. Calling
one of his henchmen, the devil
said: Steam up Pit No. % and
put this fellow into it when it is
hotter than anything else we have

sofa he won fame on the grid
iron, being one of the star
players during two football sea-
sons.
In 1905, Mr.. Burdick was
elected to the house of repre-
sentatives of the state and was
reelected in 1908. He made
such a name for himself as one
of the leaders of the legislature
during his first term, that he
was selected as speaker of the
house for his second term. In
1910, Mr.. Halvorson was nam
ed lieutenant governor.
Two years ago Mr.. Burdick
came before the people as a
candidate for governor at the
primary election, and made a
good showing, but was handi :
capped by reason of the fact
that Governor Hanna was his
opponent and was asking the
people of the state for a second
term.
This year, as the Forum pre-
viously stated, Mr.. Burdick is
the logical man for the office OF
chief executive. He is now a
resident of Williston, which is
an added reason for his cleo.
ton. The people of the west.
ern part of the state have long
felt that they have had a griev.
ance because of the tendency
of the eastern half of the state,
to monopolize public office
There is justice in the demand
that the candidate of the slope
country should receive recogni
ton.
Mr.. Burdick is a young mar
of unusual ability, and he has
all the qualifications to make
governor in whom the peopl,
of North Dakota could repost
the utmost confidence. He
will be an honor and a credi,
to the state and the Forum
believes the people will place
him in the governors chair.

When a banker goes wrong, it

he want to rob men of their

'BURDIck FOR GOVERNOR.

THE FORUM believes that U.s.

candidate for governor of North

The fact that the leader has a

The latest developments in closely contested
districts in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and North
Carolina encourage the Democrats in their hope of
the Speaker. 1t now appears that there will be
two hundred and seventeen Democrats. two hun
dred and thirteen Republicans, one Progressive
Socialist, one Prohibitionist and one Independ-
emit If 1t turns out that these four free ances as
they may be called hold the balance of power it is
for organization purposes at least. ITO play for
a deadlock by pittng a Republican House against
a Democratic Senate and President, with conse-
qJfent prejudice to the business of the country,
would be absurd" remarks the New York Evening
Post, for any group of men who profess, as these
interests. 1t is considered certain that Mr. Kelly the
Pennsylvania Inpedendent and Mr.. Randall, the
California Prohibitionist will act with the Demo-
Gratis at the outset, and probably on most matters
of broad policy
In any event however, control of the next
House will be held by very narrow margin. That
will make, ought to make for solidarity among
the Democrats and what is more important, for the
highest and wisest measures of patriotism they can
bring forth The party will be on its mettle. If
it follows the statesmanly it pursued in the
first term of the Wilson Administration, it will
probably be able to win from the independents and
even from the opposition enough support to carry
out a broadly national and broadly serviceable
program.

Extirpating Typhoid.

Among the one hundred and seventy thousand
soldiers modified the Mexican border from May
to mid October there were only twenty-four cases
of typhoid, and not of those proved fatal The
significance that record is better appreciated by
recalling that in the Spanish-American war out of
one hundred and forty-eight thousand men in army
and militia service there twenty thousand
cases of typhoid, resulting in two thousand, one
hundred and nipety-two deaths. The wonderful
difference in favor of the troops today is DUE
largely of course, to general improvements in san
itation but chiefly to typhoid incubation.
record even more convincing in some respects
because of the greater number of men and wider
range of risks involved is that of the British army
in France Writing of conditions as they were in
the summer of this year. Surgeon General Alfred
Keogh said there but twenty-five cases of ty-
phoid where formerly there would have been from
eighty to hundred thousand. Virtually the en-
tire army had been inocuated.
The Philadelphia Public Ledger observes that
the average death rate from typhoid in that city
from 1906 to 1910 was ALI per 1OO, 900; from
it only &C. Similar reductions in typhoid NOR
tally have been effected in most of the other large
cities of America. While these happy results are
traceable largely to vigilant inspection of
water and milk supplies and to more hygienic
methods of living, those measures alone could not
have established either the army or civilian record

The War on Excessive Prices.

In so far high prices of food caused by
monopoly or manipulation, organized public senti-
ment can do much to bring them down The con-
certed movement among New York consumers to do
without poultry and eggs during Thanksgiving sea-
son had a pronounced effect the market and
struck terror to the spines of food gamblers.
Should such plan be carried out thoroughly and
unitedly in the other cities where prices become
tortionate, the practical effect would be far-reach-
ing and the moral force of the example invaluable.
1t should be remembered, of course that campaigns
of this kind apply to perishabe products like eggs,
butter and vegetables rather than to staple mer-
chandise and aimed, not against the average
retailer, but the hidden speculator.
Such expedents however, will not reach the
root of the trouble. If it is true that sixty-fve
cents of the consumers dollar goes to middlemen,
the fault is due chiefly to inadequate and inefficient
methods of distributing and marketing food sup
plies. Improvement those lines would do more
perhaps than anything else to reduce the excessive
cost of living The greater part of that arises
between the time food products leave the farmers
hands and reach the consumer. 1t happens not in
frequently that the cost of marketing given
amount of foodstufs is much greater than the cost
of producing it.. This is problem to which every
city and State should give digent investigation
and study, with view to lettering market facil-
tiles. ..".
When those facilities what they, ought to be-
the speculator will find his game very difficult and
hazardous, many sources of waste will be checked
the producer will get more, the consumer will pay
less and all rightful interests concerned will be in
.calculably benefited.
