old, and the memory Of gift that
cost fifty cents or a dollar may DO
cherished for q lifetime.
Fargo also has several hundred
families, in which there are no chill
dren, and each OF which spends a
considerable sum on more or less
useless gifts. A book may be sent to
Cousin Mary and q pair OF slippers
to Uncle John. They are pleasant
tokens of affection. but not neces-
sary. The Forum aims to have at
least sixty of these several hundred
families decide upon a new form OF
Christmas celebration. The money
that would otherwise be spent for
useless gifts. will be devoted to some
one family. -a
The ideal Big Brother is the one
who pays a personal call, studies the
needs, and tries to effect some
permanent betterment OF conditions.
For example, there might be a widow
with one or two children. They have
fallen behind in the rent, or are with
out coal. It might be possible, by en-
listing the aid OF some friends, to
bring the rent to date, provide some
coal, and perhaps find some employ
ment for one OF the children, IL old
enough, that would piece out the
slender income and lift the family
over the border line to where it is
'self-supporting and comfortable. But
that program is too ambitious for the
average man and a Christmas dinner
may be all he can afford. This is all
he can be expected to give in that
case.
The complete list of Fargo's needy
families, so far as 1t is known, is now
available at four places: the Glad
Tidings mission. the Salvation Army,
the Associated Charities, and The
Forum ONCE, and all four are CO.
operating to avoid duplication. Three
Of these agencies are permanent
workers in the field. The Forum does
not pretend to be a permanent
agency, but it hopes through this Big
Brother movement to interest many
persons in social service, and In this
way add to the permanent effective
ness Of the other three agencies. Amy
man or woman who has once seen
how acute human misery may be-
come. never quite loses the picture.
He doesn't simply enjoy the temper
airy feeling Of reotitude that distri-
buting charity brings to some, but lie
becomes permanent worker to
make the world better place to live
in.
That's what the Big Brother move
ment means. and there is room yet
for about fifty active workers, who.
are needed before a week from satur-l
day night.

against the slO,OOo estate which the
bachelor left.
Details Of the romantic life OF Miss
De Camp gradually are becoming
known in Eaton. She was born near
Cresline, O., and at an early age was
left motherless and forced to earn
her own living. A year before she
took up the life OF q hermit she was
employed to keep house for Schmick.
Then 1T was. so the attorney AYERS,
that Schmick made advances. April
IS, 1901, she entered his home to re-
main in seclusion until Nov. %,
1917. @t..
when she returned to the world
she wore the same clothes she had
when she went to the farm in 1901.
Schmick kept her well supplied with
books. Her attorney says she 10 well
read and well advised. She was 81
years old when she went to live with
Schmick. In the sixteen years
Schmick was her only companion. In
this time she did not talk TO another
person. When visitors came she
quickly hid herself. No one knew
the secret.
Last week Miss De Camp revealed
herself to the world, forced by the
death OF Schmick. She left him aft
err she had cared for him In his last
illness. In Eaton, where Schmick
was well known as a prosperous
bachelor, no one had an inkling Of
the presence OF a woman on his
farm, and in the rural district no
man or woman can remember seeing
Miss De Camp. The compact was
concealed cleverly from relatives.
For hours at a time when they were
visiting the farm Miss De Camp kept
herself in hiding in some part OF the
little house.

THRIFT TO PAY FOR WAR.


In many ways and from many
sources, the idea is reiterated.
Buy bonds from future savings
was the slogan The Forum adopted
in both Liberty bond campaigns. We
don't know whether the slogan was
original or not. and It doesn't matter,
but 1t can't be repeated too many
times.
Finance the war from savings
said Frank Vanderlip to a st. Paul
audience yesterday. The alternative
Is financing it by imitation"
The government doesn't lack money
or credit, It has printing presses
and can print currency as fast as It is
needed, but that way national bank
ruptcy lies. Thrift must pay for the
war. Materials are what are needed,
not money. The man who can save
10 per cent Of his income by eliminat-
ing unessentials, and reducing the
consumption Of materials the gov
eminent needs for the war. is the
patriotic man; not the one who
makes a forced sale Of stock that
represents capital well employed, and
turns that money into Liberty Bonds.
The country Is just beginning to
learn its first lesson in thrift
Stupendous as the war expenditures
are, they could be met by current
savings, If all the citizens were post
graduates in thrift as the French
peasants were and are.

RISING TO ITS DUTY.

The grilling given Maj. General
crozier, ordnance chief. by the senate
committee, is healthy sign.
Il may signify that Congress has
ceased to be an inert body that must
be prodded into doing its part in
prosecuting the war. and may indi-
cate desire to step out and take
some initiative, relieving the execu-
tive branch Of the government of
some of the burden.
No better service could be rendered
than in seeing that the vast sums APP
propriated are well spent. Congress
has appropriated money with a lavish
hand. II has poured out the millions
and billions. Nobody criticises it for
this. but its duty does not end there.
It should keep some supervision over
the expenditure OF these vast sums,
and the manner in which the senate
committee went after Gen. Crozier
indicates that it intends to attempt
this very thing.
We don't want the executive de-
partments hampered by party criti-
cism or chickering's, but an intelligent
curiosity as to the disposition OF the
money appropriated, win make for
efficiency. This is the most import
ant war duty that faces the present
session Of Congress.

Other Mems Views
An Editorial That May or May Not
Square With The Forums
Opinions.

From The Des Moines Capital:
Everything in the business world has
been turned bottom side up by the
war. There has been a disposition in
all quarters to take advantage Of the
situation to enforce or accomplish
fads which could not otherwise be
attained.
1t is evident that there is q secret
propaganda OF some kind at work to
cause the government Of the United
States to become the owners and
operator of all steamship lines; rail-
way lines; telegraph and telephone
lines and in fact everything OF a pub
lie nature. So often as once q week
socalled dispatches are sent out
from Washington to the effect that
the doctrine OF universal govern
ment ownership is inevitable" and
that ii cannot much longer be post
poned. Some organization is getting
in its work in an etroFt 10 frame
popular opinion.
universal government ownership one
need not go further than Germany.
And strangely enough Germany is
cited as a triumph OF government
ownership. But those who do cite this
forget or fail to recognize the fact
that there is nothing to Germany
except the government. There liz the
army and the navy and all public
utilities. railroads and telegraphs.
Practically all the people OF Ger
many excepting farmers are In the
employ OF the government. There are
no people left at home in big en-
terprises excepting the government.
This must also be considered, and
that in Germany men and women will
work for the government day and
night and for much less money than
they will work for anybody else.
The situation would be entirely
different in the United States. The
first thing the government would be
compelled to do, after taking on all
public enterprise would be to in.
crease the pay Of everybody and in
the increase the government would
practically have no voice. When the
government takes everything OF e.
public nature there will be govern
ment employees enough to elect and
re-elect an administration. This
country is too big for any such an
experiment.
1t must be remembered that Ger
many Is not as large as the state Of
Texas. 1t must also be remembered
that the American railway systems
are operated better than the rail-
ways Of any other country on the
globe. 1T Is an established fact that
freight and passenger rates in the
United States are reasonable and
that the government could not make
these rates cheaper without losing
money. and making up the losses by
taxation. AT any rate this country Is
carrying on q great war and Is not
In share to buy ali the railway and
steamship lines and the telegraph
and telephone lines. The proposition
IS not needed a. war measure and
surely not needed as an economic
measure.

GOOD SENSE TRIuMPHs.

Good sense triumphed in the Twin
City street car mems strike, and at
the last minute the general sym
pathetic strike was called off.
The points which the public is en-
titled to have cleared up by the fed
eral investigation, are these:
Did the unions definitely agree TO
quit wearing union buttons, or was
this agreement merely taken for
granted in the negotiations for
compromise conducted by the public
safety commission?
Did the employers pursue the policy
OF dropping one by one. the more
active union men, with the aim Of
getting rid of all who joined the
union?
on the answer to these two ques-
tions should depend where the SYM
pathies of the public will lie. The
federal investigation L. for the pur-
pose OF getting at the facts, and the
authority of the governor is not call
ed into question. In this respect both
sides may claim victory in the fight
for and against government inter
vention.
The chief and most important OBJ
jeet has been achieved, and a gen.
era1 strike averted for the time be-
ing. Such q strike would have been
a costly step for the unions to take
at this time. If they can show that
they did not agree TO stop wearing
the buttons, or that the company has
adopted the deliberate policy of dis
charging all union men as rapidly as
it dared. then the sympathy OF the
public will be with them.
On the other hand, &c it IL shown
that the men deliberately went back
on their agreement. the company Is
entitled to the sympathy and support
Of public opinion.
High handed methods and total
disregard of the rights OF others, are
no more to be tolerated among labor
unions than they are among employ
ers and the unions should avoid the
mistake of adopting the very methods
they were organized to fight in 9TH
ors. The federal Investigation should
disclose whether or not the Twin City
men have attempted to do this.

CONGRATULATIONS.

Congratulations to the Y. w. c. A.
Mere men feared they wouldn't do
It. The campaign came so soon after
the Y. NJ. c. A. campaign and the
Liberty Loan drive. and It Just pre-
coded the Red Cross Christmas work.
But the women tackled the job with
a smile, and in three days 1t was all
over.
And they have done more than
merely raise $3.50. They have in
trodueed the Y. w. C. A. to Fargo,
and both Fargo and the Y. w. c. A.
should be the gamers thereby. II
ought to make Fargo a better city for
the girl away from home, to live in.
And there are 500 such girls in Fargo.
