fortune.
Fabrique has apparently pro-

When the Dodgers landed Fabrique
in the draft from the Providence club
OF the international league they
hooked a prize. Several other clubs
wanted the player, but the Dodgers
were the lucky ones, for the young
Frenchman is a real find.

The Bolsheviki proclaim themselves
as the party of the workers. They
concede no rights to any other class

way, the "capitalistic governments

agreements made by these capital
istic governments. They proclaim
that they are trying to get the work.
ers Of all the Allied nations to join in
the armistice.
With this as their attitude, it
would be logical to suppose that they
would refuse to negotiate with the
"capitalistic government" of Ger
many, and would insist on dealing
only with duly elected representa-
tives Of the workers Of Germany. Yet
they already have made an agree
ment with the Capitalists Of an en-
envy country, while they refuse all
dealings with what they believe to
be the corresponding class in their

THE REAL cuLPRIrs ESCAPE.

In another column on this page
this evening, is published a letter
from @. o. Hageseth Of Pingree, N.
D.. which is worthy Of attention.
The Forum agrees most heartily
with everything Mr.. Hageseth has
to say except the last paragraph. In
that Mr.. Hageseth criticises The
Forum for not branding as lie the
now famous statement of Clarence
s. Thompson Of New York. The
Forum has attempted soNmany times
to refute this slander uttered by Mr..
Thompson, that it feared the sub
ject was tiresome to it's readers. We
can recall at least a dozen editorials
calling attention to the loyalty OF
North Dakota, and We are perfectly
willing to write dozen more If there
is any doubt as to what The Forum
thinks.
The item in question was publish
ed as matter of news, and North
Dakotans never would have known
the ISLANDERS against their state If
The Forum had not published 1t.
Every day. without question, state
ments of German statesmen are pub
lished to give their views on the
war, without it being necessary to
refute each of these. Stories of
crimes are published without it be-
ing necessary to reiterate disap-
proval Of these crimes.
One exception Mr.. Hageseth fails
to note. and 1t doubtless is an over
sight on his part. The statement of
Mr.. Thompson that but two public
officials in North Dakota have shown
any activity in stamping out disIoy-
atty, is so manifestly untrue that Il
scarcely needs denial to a resident
Of the state. The number could be
multiplied many times. and still be
well within the truth. 1t Is a SLAM
der on the proven loyalty Of men
like Adjt. Gen. Fraser, John Hogan
district court judges, and scores OF
others.
But merely denying that North
Dakota is disloyaI is not enough
The state council Of defense would
do well to examine into the reason
why such ISLANDERS are circulated

HILLeulr SMOKED OUT.

Morris Hillquit, Socialist candidate
Tor mayor of New York has been
smoked out and forced to answer
three direct questions. by William
Hand. magazine writer with whom
he has been conducting a running
debate through public letters.
IN the answers he admits that IL he
had been O member Of Congress on
April 6, he would have voted against
the declaration of war; that If he
were q member OF Congress now he
would not vote for appropriations for
guns and shells: that If there were q
referendum on withdrawal from the
war, he would not vote yes, but
would vote for an immediate OPEN
ing OF negotiations for q general
peace.
This is cold comfort for even the
most peace hungry soul While Mr.
Hillquit doesn't desire peace half as
feryently as most Of the men who are
lighting for it. he poses as a peace ad-
vocate, and yet his program holds
out no hope Of peace. Does he think
that a peace with the same Teutor
governments that struck at Belgium
and Serbia without warning, holds
any security for the world2 However
much d mans heart may long for the
war to end. his head tells him, If he
uses IT that the present German
government, victorious and negotiat-
Ing peace, would make OF peace but
an arnlstlce to continue only until
the time was ripe for another blow

ast recruits. the instant an American

THE CANDLE IN THE WINDOW

One OF the prettiest customs of
Christmas is that Of the lighted
candle in the window on Christmas
eve.
The original superstition connected
with it was that IL was needed TO
show the Christ Child the way into
the house. Like all the finest tradi-
tions Of Christmas which come from
England or-we have to admit it
Germany, it is an European custom.
In the modern observance of
Christmas, the lighted candle in the
window has come TO mean simply a
message Of good will toward men
from the occupants of the house. This
year it is to be part of the Red Cross
observance. Every member OF the
Red Cross Is asked to show a candle
and a Eed Cross service nag.
To the adult. nine-tenths Of the
pleasure OF Christmas is in the senti-
naent connected with the day. The
candle I'm the window helps amazing
ly to properly introduce the most
wonderful feast day of the year.
Other Sities, notably Minneapolis and
Duluth, have adopted the custom
quite generally, and In both cities
last Christmas there were entire
blocks in which there was not a
house without its candle.
I Fargo should adopt the custom this
year. Hang q wreath in the window
with q single candle showing through
IL, and with the Red Cross nag in
front Of the candle. Just as the flag
is an outward expression OF loyalty,
the candle is the expression Of the
Christmas spirit.

In commenting on one Of Con
gressman Baer's cartoons, The Can.
do Record says:
Last Sundays Chicago Exam
iner contained a full page edi-
torial descriptive of Congress
man Baer's great cartoon, de-
scriptive of the Big Biz toll
bridge between producer and
consumer. There must be some
thing Of interest and weight in
Mr.. Baer's cartoon, else the able
editor OF The Chicago Examiner
would not have devoted a full
page editorial describing and
eulogizing 1t.
In the upper part Of the car
toon is shown Big Biz on his toll
bridge. At one end Of the bridge
is the farmer with a pig under
his arm; at the other end is a
tailor with a suit of clothes on
his arm. The farmer wants the
tailoTs suit, the tailor wants the
farmers pig. Says Big Biz to
the farmers, 1T takes two pigs for
one suit of clothes; and to the
tailor at the other end OF the
bridge he says, 1T takes two
SUITS u G4ObuGS AUE one p4Ss
When the transaction is closed,
the lower part Of the picture
shows the farmer going away
with his suit Of clothes, and the
tailor with his pig. And Big Biz,
in the center Of his toll bridge, is
shown gleefully displaying one
pig and one suit of clothes;
which he has taken as his toll
Ng4 h hf5 nFes w4la

ial writer says in part: "They
toll not, neither do they spin,
these Big Biz gentlemen"
So? Who built the bridge and VIII
keeps ii in repair? Perhaps tn
bridge tender is getting more thai
his share. but that is no reason 70
tearing down the bridge. And IL tn
government takes over the bridge
why shouldn't it take over the pi
and the suit Of clothes? The bridg
Is just as necessary to the transac
tion as the pig or the suit Of clothe
and the bridge tender Is just as mucl
entitled to fair treatment, but n
more so. If the bridge tender
denied enough to keep the bridge i
repair, then the pig owner and tn
owner of the clothes fan into tn
river and both lose. Try to hgur
what the bridge represents. tt
the railroad that takes the pig {

road that distributes the pork to tn
retailer; the retailer who cuts tt u
and distributes 1t to the consumes
On the other hand 1t represents tn
factory that makes the wool into

and more especially in the ConstelIa-
ton country, where the mine is To-
Gated. The meteorological conditions
of the new ore body are markedly diff
ferent from those carried by the sill
yer ore bodies opened on the levels
above and would appear to indicate
that the old Monte Cristo has golden
future as well as a silver past. The
feature of paramount interest attach
ing to the recent discovery is the fact
the ore has copper base, a condition
which causes the old-timers here to
become reminiscent over the days
when the famous United Verde copper
mine was a silver-gold producer, and
to predict similar fame for the Monte
Cristo.
The recently rebuilt reduction
works at the property of the Monica
Mining company has successfully
stood the test of a several weeks try
out and is now working on ore with
daily regularity. Two shifts of men
are employed in the mine and mill,
and a third shift will be employed in
the first mentioned as soon as the
men can be worked to advantage.
While the mine and mill machinery
was being installed work continued
without cessation below ground, and
as a result the tonnage mined and
awaiting treatment is sufficient to
keep the mill running full time for
several months. The general average
grade of this ore is about SIS gold
per ton.
The Minnesotans in control of the
Coronado Mining company having
perfected reorganization thereof,
are preparing to resume mining
operations at the company's property
in Martinez gulch,. near Congress.

DENIES REPORT OF
BOY,ED'S PRESENCE
IN PHILADELPHIA

PHILADELPHIA, March Is. -
Stories published here today that
Captain Karl Boy-Ed, former naval at
tache at the German embassy at
Washington, was in this city as re-
Gently as week ago and linking his
name with the alleged smuggling plot
involving the two interned German
commerce raiders at the Philadelphia
navy yard were declared tonight to be
without foundation by Frank Garba-
rino, head of the local bureau of in
vestigation of the federal department
of justice. Agents of the department
were given as authority for the stories
to the effect that Captain Boy-Ed had
come here presumably to visit young
woman prominent in social circles in
Philadelphia and Washington, to
whom he had been reported engaged
prior to his dismissal from this coun-
try in December, 1915.
Garbarino said there was absolute
ly nothing on which to base such state
ments and denied emphatically that
either he or his assistants had given
out such information, either privately
or for publication.
'The stories are ridiculous on their
face" declared Garbarino.
