SOMETHING MUST BE DONE.

The prices which the people of Du-
>luth will pay for coal have been fixed
by the fuel administration and are
virtually the same as those in effect
before Oct. 1. The prices were re-
duced on some kinds, but it happens
that there is none of this available.
To say that the consumers are dis
appointed is stating it mildly. Many
people have delayed purchasing their
winters coal until prices were low
cred, and now to be compelled to pay
around ten dollars a ton for hard coal
is indeed a establishment, and indi-
cations are that many homes will lack
the hearty warmth of glowing coal
fires the coming winter.
Something is inherently wrong
when the coal dealers are permitted to
charge such exorbitant prices. They
must be lowered, and can be, if the
proper authorities take some action.
The public which has patiently
awaited relief from the intolerable
profiteering Of the coal barons and
dealers, must inevitably express it's
dissatisfaction and revolt against pres
emit conditions. There must be an
Immediate remedy, even if the gov
eminent is compelled to take over the
coal mining industry.
! There have been several sugges-
tions recently to have the municipal
aty operate a coal yard and sell coal
direct to the consumers, thereby eli
minating the middlemen. The local
Trades Assembly has had a commit
tee at work on this matter for some
time, but it evidently has received lit.

GET TOGETHER.

Pittsturg National Labor Journal:
War has shown the necessity for
closer cooperation between employer
and employed. The American FEEDER
alton of Labor earnestly advocates
the settlement of all differences with
out recourse to strike. To achieve
this result there must be spirit Of
Cancellation and concession shown by
all concerned. The old cry Of moth

the discard, along with the DISPOSE
ton Of capital to demand the utmost
labor that can be obtained without
killing the actual producer Of the

"BOOZE TAX" ON WATER.

San Francisco Star: Modesto voted
'dry' at a recent election, and now
it is announced that, to make up the
loss of $13,500 heretofore collected
from the saloons in annual license
fees, water rates will be raised. The
logic of the Modesto solons seems
to be that the taxpayers must pay
$13,5O0 "a year for drink, regardless
of it's kind. But the authorities over
look the experience of other COM
munities, that crime is in large meas
ure due to intoxication, and the cost
for police, jails, and courts is much
lessened by doing away with liquor.
However, If the people of Modesto
must pay the $13,500, they will much
better spend it for water. They will
still. have large economic balance in
improved public morals, better health.
larger bank deposits, more to eat and
wear. and happier wives and chill
dren. The license tax was but
small rebate on the cost of saloons to
Modesto.

This Simple La1atiDe
A Household Necessity
Dr. CGlds0elrs Syrup Pepsin
Should Haze a Place in

Constipation, or inaction of the bow
els, a condition that nearly everyone
experiences with more or less fire.
quency, is the direct cause of much
disease. When the bowels become
clogged with refuse from the stomach,
foul gases and poisons are generated,
and. unless the congestion is quickly
relieved the system becomes weaken
ed and most susceptible to attack.
Various remedies to relieve consti-
patton are prescribed, but many Of
these contain cathartic or purgative
agents that are harsh and violent in
their action and shock the system.
The most effective remedy is the COM
bination Of simple laxative herbs with
pepsin that is sold in drug stores
under the name of DR.. Caldwelps
Syrup Pepsin.
The Hon. John d. Keister of Brandy
wine, w. Va, who has represented his
district in the state legislature for six
years, writes that he uses DIR. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin and finds it a
splendid laxative, easy to take and
mild, yet positive, in its action, and
that 1t should be in every household
for use when needed. --..
DIR. CaldwelIs Syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists in all parts of the United
States and costs only fifty cents a
bottle. It contains no opiate or narcotic
drug, does not grippe, and is recon-
mended as q family laxative, mild

eastern boundary. and within half
mile of the Canadian border-about
the most inaccessible point for the
rest Of the state that IL could well be;
and it has but one passenger train
each way per day. The gift Of the court
house to the state is but a small part
of what will have to come. 1t is pos
sibly the oldest court house in the
state, and never built for home for
children. 1t might answer the purpose
for a very few years. but there would
have to be a good deal of money ex-
pended by the state to make 1t COM
pare with other institutions belonging
to the state. Few may have stopped to
think what 1t costs to maintain asy-
luns. Even IL the placing-out plan
were to be adopted, there are always
bound to accumulate a good many
crippled or diseased children who
must become a permanent burden to
the state, as very few families will
ever accept such a child. The state of
Minnesota spends annually for the
support of the Home at Owatonna
many thousand dollars, and 1t has
several hundred children constantly
on hand. A child cannot be properly
cared for for much less than $3.50 per
year at present. Suppose there were a
hundred of them-$15,000 for main
tenance alone, without saying anything
about repairs or new buildings. or
salaries for employees; $4,000 annually
when there are two hundred. The ex-
pense keeps piling up.
Do the people want to launch out on
such project when all the work nee
essary to be done along this line can
be done by private organizations with
out the necessity of drawing on the
state treasury?
We have hundreds of wards in all
sections of the state. Will the foster
parents do what they can right now
with their representatives and state
senators to permit the North Dakota
Children's Home to continue its bene-
ficient work, and not see 1t snufted out
in this unceremonious fashion just to
put an old court house into use in an
extreme corner of the state?
When the time comes that N. Dakota
feels that this society cannot handle
the work for dependent children salts
factorily, and must have an expensive
institution all it's own, let the legis-
lative body make overtures to the So
ciety for it's plant. and adopt its meth
DDS of operation. That time has not
come as yet, and we hope 1t will be
years before 1t is necessary to saddle
onto the state a work that Is not in
politics for the plums it might furnish.
Those who have put a little money
into the Home each year will probably
be glad to continue to do so; there Is
no compulsion about giving: and 1t
will not involve additional taxation on
an already over-burdened people.

Fargo, N. D.. Feb. 3.-Editor The
Forum: Dear Sir-There is a bill be-
fore the legislature which vitality af-
Iects the very existence Of the North
Dakota Chtldren's Home society. We
refer to the measure proposing to con-
vert the old court house at Pembina
into state home for dependent chill
dren, and appropriating for its main
tenance the sum of $4,000.
1t goes without saying that If this
measure should carry and be signed
by Governor Frazier, 1t would prac-
tically put the Children's Home society
out OF business after a record of more
than twenty-five years of active work
in rescuing homeless, neglected and
abused dependent children. The last
number received and provided for by
the home is 1,596-more than a full
regiment of children. Hundreds of
them are today in fine homes in every
section of our state, or in active bust
ness life for themselves. Hundreds of
others are still in tender years and the
joy Of many family home. This So
ciety has a valuable plant in Fargo,
with a total property value of nearly
$4,000. The receiving home was built
by the charitable people of our state
for this particular purpose, and has a
capacity of fifty-five to sixty children.
1t was organized under the laws or
North Dakota as a private, non-Sec-
tartan charity, and it's board Of thirty
directors is chosen from the most
prominent business men and women
Of all denominations. 1t is distinctly a
Christian organization, but without
bias toward any form Of belief So long
as child is in normal condition and
suitable for placing in a family home,
1t will be received and cared for here,
and provided with family home for
adoption or otherwise. During the last
fiscal year 191 cases were aided in one
way or another, without one penny of
expense to the treasury Of the state.
The Home has never had a cent of
does not want any; for the reason that
we prefer to have few Thousand
people interested in it's work to the
extent OF dollar or two, than to have
a lump sum from the state treasury,
and have no one interested. Today the
people all over North Dakota are
pretty we'll acquainted with the work
Of the society, and for many years
past, through their generosity. it has
never closed the year with a debt that
could not be Immediately paid on de-
mand. The present superintendent has
been in charge Of the work for the
past fifteen years, and during that
time has received almost 1900 chill
dren.
We do not blame the people Of Penn
bina county for wanting to see their
old court house in use. We understand
it has been in use recently by Cath
Ollie school, Why not SO continue it?
