FLOODED CLEARWATER
CLAIMS TWO VICTIMS

Lewiston, Idaho. May 80. - The

Claimed two victims today. Eleanor.
IL years old, and Urctta, S years old
daughters of Mr.. and Mrs. Calvin
Boyer of Lewiston.
The father was catching driftwood
from the stream and the girls were
playing nearby. He heard an out
cry and turned to see the arms Of one
of the girls above the surface Of the
water near the shore. No trace Of
the other was observed.
The current is strong there and the
bodies We're undoubtedly swept down
stream. The theory is that one of the
girls fell into the river and the other
attempted rescue.

SAUCE FOR THE GOOSE.

Darkest New York and benighted
New England should be aroused to the
fact that this country is at war.
Missionaries should be sent from the
enlightened, patriotic middle west to
stir these provincial sections Of the
country to their duty. Illinois. Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota, North Dakota and the
other states can be counted on to do
their duty in enlistments and sub
scriptions to the Liberty loan, but
what Of the East?
Sinister lethargy prevails. The great
sleeping giant must be aroused. The
Middle West cannot fight this war
alone: Let apostles of preparedness
carry the fiery cross from Fargo east
ward through the literary pastures of
novelists to the real issues Of life:
across the mosquito infested meadows
OF Jersey arousing anarchists from
their lairs; to the Great White Way
itself, where patriotism consists of es-
chewing German fried potatoes in
favor of French fried, and where the
Society of This Years Debutantes is
saving all the bonbons they receive for
presentation to the officers Of the feet
OF motor boats guarding the summer
homes on st. Lawrence river from
German submarines.

lent condiment for the gander.

sLAcKMAIL NOT NEEDED.

Because it was announced that those
who refused to donate $40 to become
members of the Fargo Patriotic bureau
would be listed with the commercial
club as "refusals" some of the read
ers Of The Forum drew the conclusion
that this list would be published in
The Forum.
It will not be.
The Forum is heartily in sympathy
with the purposes of the Fargo Patriot
ic bureau. It's employees are we'll repre-
scented in the membership, and The
Forum stands ready to do anything in
its power to further the success of the
bureau, but it will not be a party to
any plan to drive men into the bureau,
even IL the Commercial club wished it
to- which it does not The Forum has
a high enough opinion of the loyalty
OF the citizens of Fargo to believe that
every man who can afford to do so
will Join the bureau without threats
that his loyalty will be questioned if
he stays out.

EIGHT CASES CONTEMPT
FROM RECENT MINOT RAID
All for Violations of Injunctions Is-
sued by the District cou@t OF
Ward County.

Minot, N. D., May Height cases
OF contempt have been Instituted by
States Attorney O. B. Herigstad
against parties who were caught in the
raids last week and against whom in
functions issued out of the district
court had been granted in previous
cases. The finding of liquor and gam
bling at the places against which the
injunctions had been previously
granted brings the parties who have
violated the injunctional orders into
contempt of court and permits their
punishment directly by the court with
out a trial by jury. The court does not
try them upon the violation of the law
but for the violation of the injunctional
order of the court, and punishment
under the statute is the same as
though they had been found guilty Of
the criminal charge.
Four of these injunctions are against
gambling as follows: John Moore, Roy
Vaughn, William Kimball and F. Kirk
land. Four Of them are for violations
of the liquor laws, as follows: Lena

THE German Generals Lament

! have "strafed" a Belgian baby

And ignored the right of search,
The fear of German vengeance to

I've turned loose the poisoned

When our sappers had touched of

And the blood of men run cold,
Where our silent, ghostly Zeppe-

/ have overrun all Belgium
And enslaved their boys and

And put them at the job of max

Just to spread the cause of

So it's quite beyond my ken,
Why the name so freely given us

But they don't know when they re

To The Editor Of The Forum:

10 Inc Editor OF The EOrums
Sir: A word to the wise is sum-
cient. From now on the farmer will
plan how he might best protect his
craving crops against losses by hail.
In view OF the enormously high prices
of seed and labor, as well as the pros
poets for high grain prices by next
fall IL will be readily understood
that the magnitude Of the investment
is too great, and the problem of a
successful harvest too important to
be dealt with lightly.
It is a well-known fact that heavy
losses by hail storms are visited up
on our crops every summer. Hail
storms are absolutely -preventable,
hence man invented the plan of pro-
tecting himself against their ravages
by means of insurance. heard once,
an insurance man claim that the
earliest known instance of insurance
was found in the Bible story, when
Joseph stored UP the surplus Of the fat
and bounteous years, thereby insuring
against the lean years that followed.
shall not dispute this vision, but
am sorry to know that 1t was not or
ganized on strictly mutual basis,
for IL ! read the history correctly,
Pharaoh and his keen sighted business
manager, Joseph, made considerable
capital out OF the first insurance VEN
turei
In view of all the admonition we
now read and hear about economy and
saving, feel / am only doing my
duty as a state official, when ] call
attention to the insurance problem.
We have in our state four plans for
insuring crops against hail: Self-in-
surance, so-called line insurance, mu-
tual insurance and state Insurance..
I therefore take it, that the provi-
dent farmer will this year more than
ever before, look to one or another of
the afore mentioned insurance sources
for protection of his crops, and with
your permission, let me call to your
attention, that last, but not least we
have the state hail insurance. This
plan of insurance has been In opera
ton for six years, with limited sue
cess, for several reasons.
In my opinion the greatest handicap
to a general patronage is, perhaps the
utter lack Of funds for boosting and
publicity. The great majority Of
farmers either know nothing about
the plan, or they have warped view
OF 1t because of opposing influences
belittling the real merits Of the propo-
sition. The saddest Of it all is that
many assessors have refused to carry
blanks or even mention state insur-
ance to the farmers, thus violating
the law, which makes this one of his
official duties, as much as asking how
many horses a man has subject to
assessment, is his duty.
Allow me to point out why I think
a farmer should patronize state in
surance: Because it is his own in
est of all Except self-insurance): that
is, the most economical because of the
extremely low operating EXPENSE yet
it is adequate and safe because you
get exactly what you pay for.

Commissioner of Insurance.

DISCOVERING AMERICA.

Ida Tarbell has abandoned muck
raking, big business and frenzied fl
nance long enough to discover the
United States.
Miss Tarbell chose the Chautauqua
circuit as the microscope through which
to study the pToletariat. She has
stuck pin through the Common Peo-
pie and held them up for the admira-
ton and close study of the Effete East,
the Atlantic monthly, and where "the
Cabots speak only to LoweIls and the
Lowells speak only to God"
For the purposes of her psychological
dissection published in the May Allan
tic, she actually got as far west as the
vania. She admits it.
Among other things, she discovered
prohibition. I'VE came to know almost
as soon as we reached a new place
whether the town was dry or not"
she writes. "A town that had been dry
over dozen years had trimness about
the streets and buildings, look Of
freshness and energy about young peo-
pie and old, which stood out in almost
incredible contrast to what we found in
wet towns" How like that dear
familiar, patronizing phrase: II am
delighted to see so many smiling young
faces before me-" OF course we're trim
and neat. Miss TarbelI. Why in the
name Of common sense shouldn't we
be?
She admits "a percentage of conde-
scension" in her attitude toward her
undertaking, and tells of losing it, but
neglects to say when she resumed it
after the close of the tour.
Surprising, indeed, is her statement
that the women came in "clean shirt
waists" to her lecture. What messy
crowd Miss Tarbell must have been
trailing with in New York.
She was amazed at the shrewd politi-
cal observations heard on the sidewalk
il front Of her hotel. These western
ers actually talked intelIigentIy.
nHe who undertakes a Chautauqua
circuit may be able to contribute little
Is the education Of his audience" Miss
Tarbell concludes. but let him be as
sured that IL be is open minded they
win do much toward his own educa-
flon.p Perhaps IL Miss Tarbell takes
about two more trips. she may learn

SENATOR eRoNNA's VOTE.

Senator Gronna of North Dakota
was one of the eight senators who
voted against the army bill.
No man who represents great state
has a right to imperil the safety OF
the entire nation with his scruples.
America is at war. Without the army
bill, its part in the war would have
been negligible. Senator Gronna may
be a pacifist; he may hold the con-
scientious scruples of Quaker against
war. There are many good men in the
same boat. He has right to those per-
sonal beliefs and to follow the policy
of non resistance just so far as 1t
affects himself. He has no moral right
to vote to enforce those policies on
nation at war with the most I'M
scrupulous, powerful, and vicious
enemy the world has ever known.

THE SPIRES OF OXFORD.
I saw the spires of Oxford
AS was passing by,
The grey spires of Oxford
Against a pearl-grey sky:
My heart was with the Oxford men
Who went abroad to die.
The years go fast in oxford,
The golden years and gay.
The hoary colleges look down
On careless boys at play.
But when the bugles sounded war
They put their games away.
They left the peaceful river,
The cricket field, the quad,
The shaven lawns of Oxford
To seek a bloody sod.
They gave their merry youth away
For country and for God.
God rest you, happy gentlemen,
Who laid your good lives down,
Who took the khaki and the gun
Instead Of cap and gown.
God bring you to a fairer place
Than even Oxford town.
1t is At to rank with some Of the
works OF the Iamented Rupert Brooke,

Not with vain tears. when we're be-
yond the sun,
Well beat on the substantial doors,
nor tread
Those dusty highroads OF the aim
less dead.
Plaintive for earth; but rather turn
and run
Down some close-covered byway Of
the air,
Some low sweet valley between wind
and wind,
stoop under faint CLEANS. thread the
shadows fine,
Some whispering ghost-forgotten nook,
and there
Spend in pure converse our eternal
day;
Think each in each, immediately
wise;
Learn all we lacked before: hear know
and say;
What this tumuituous body now

And feel, we who have laid our crop

And see, no longer blinded by our
eyes.

1t is a commentary on the Ger

by hot pursuit along the ANU
beuge road and forced to choose
between what they could destroy
and what they did not have to de-
stroy, the Germans choose TO de-
stroy orchards and leave intact
connected shelters of the utmost
military value.
III anything was needed to
arouse the French forces to utter
fury it was the deliberate wanton-
ness, not excusable on the ground
OF military necessity. Certainly
the concrete shelters were of vast
ly more military value than the
fruit trees. The German destruc-
tton here gives the lie to Berlin s
claims that orchards were cut
down SOLELY to deprive the enemy

friend to do the Job for you,
would you?
That's just the difference be-
tween you and the British prime
minister.
Lloyd-George wanted to borrow
all he could get. SO he picked
out the most diffident. most un-
assuming man in English public
life to turn the trick for him.
America, meet Mr.. Bonar Law,
chancellor of the exchequer of
Great Britain.
There's a Scotch grin tucked
behind his rugged and dropping
moustache, and a Scotch chuckle
located somewhere in that long,
lean waist. He'll be interested in
anything you have to say, provid-
ed your facts are on straight.
Don't muss them up when you're
talking to Mr.. Law.
Bonar Law never forgets. In
the face of a house filled with
members waiting to trap him, he
will make two-hour talk-with-
out notes-filled with cumber-
some figures and intricate facts,
and never. score an error.
Nobody is really more sure of
himself than Bonar Law. Take

DRIVING
A WEDGE
UNITED Press Leased wire.)

LONDON, March 27.-The al
lied pursuit continued holly to-
day, marked by violent fighting Of
both open and massed character at
half dozen points along the 90
mile front now rapidly nearing the
permanent German line.
The French were within less
than a mile of the "Hindenburg
line"-and progressing steadily,
despite foundations and increas-
ingly strong resistance from the
enemy.
Nearest approach of the British
to the line was around Legnicourt,
about IL miles west of Cambria
There was bitter fighting in this
neighborhood today, German mass
ed forces desperately striving to
retake the village. But the Brit
ish held firm and beat off all at
tacks.
Two heights commanding the
German forefront were under es-
pecially heavy drive by the French,
Essigny, one Of these, has already
fallen into French hands and to-
day was under fire of German
counter-attack. Another near Be-
nay was being deluged with French
artillery.
General Nivelle's wedge, which
seeks split in the German line. is
being driven forward at this point.
