NOT SUBJECT FOR COMIC
WEEkLIES.

'She had enough trouble keeping
her man, she said, without a lot of
women hanging around" was the
explanation given by an English
landowner for the failure of one of
his tenants to keep women workers
on her leasehold.
The incident was related to an
English journalist as an amusing
incident showing the jealousy among
English farmers wives of the wom-
en- who are taking the place of tbs
men.
The incident may have a mildly
amusing aspect, but it is significant
of an altered social condition that
will be more and more felt as the
war continues. In most European
countries, and in New England, even
before the war the number of women
exceeded the number of men by a
substantial margin. With the
millions OF men who are being kill
ed in the war, millions Of women
will be forced whether they wish to
or not, to live their lives unmarried.
That will result in the greater in
vasion of mems, labor domain. The
women who are now doing mems
work, will not willingly give up their
occupations especially with their
chances for matrimony greatly re-
duced by the war. The problem is
not one for the comic weekly or the
newspaper paragrapher, but a seri-
Gus study for the political economist
and the sociologist.

The Editors Mail Bag

To The Editor of The Forum:
The women of Fargo and else
where are requested to conserve
food during the war.
This is timely and right. But why
not conserve in other directions? A
careful analysis of the situation
shows that enough money Is spent in
Fargo every day for booze, tobacco,
cigars, cigarets and snuff to flrn-
ish one meal each day for every per-
son in the city.
Those foolish habits entail a waste
of money, and destroy individual ef-
ficiency in many instances. The
traffic in booze should be destroyed,
not only during the war, but for
ever. Surely those habits could be
greatly mlninized. at least during the
war period. Many families in Far
go have not used meat in their
homes for long time, but some of
the men in those homes spend over
fifty cents each day for booze and
smokes. How strange that a man
would deprive his family of many
comforts that he might indulge in
habits that never were very elevat-
ing, to say the least. AS ]. J. Jordan

THE "5EE MAN" AND HIS
= CHARGES.

The Bee Man" out at the Inter-
state fair is an enthusiast on his
subject, and It Is not to be wonder
ed at. He has a most interesting
subject.
In a fifteen minutes conversation
yesterday. he almost converted US TO
keeping bees.
Our knowledge of bees had con-
sisted Of reading Maeter1inck's Life
OF The Bee. Read that first--if you
haven't done so already-and then
talk to the "Bee Man" at the fair,
if he isn't too busy. He's in the
agricultural building.
Bees are surprisingly Teutonic in
their habits, but they have carried
efficiency and organization to a point
even beyond the German machine.
When the queen bee has outIived her
usefulness, the rest OF the tribe
sting her to death. and get a new
dueen-or rather they have already
made provision for the old queen to
raise her successor. It is all blood
and iron" and efficiency sentiment
has no place in the life of the bee.
Drones are not kept through the
winter. The neutral bees. or work.
ers, kill them before winter comes
when food is hard to get.
There are no /. w. w.
among the bees. Life TO a bee is
Just one long job after another. They
have no union hours, ana nothing to
do but work.
The queen and the drones attend
to the propagation of the race, and
the neutral bees work and make
honey, and clean out the cells for the
queen to lay more eggs in.
Sometimes a worker bee gets out
OF its class, because OF having been
brought up within sight Of Royalty,
30 to speak. When it has been a
neighbor of the queen during young
beehood, IL sometimes becomes a
layer of eggs, when a careless work
er feeds IL the larva intended for the
queen. But it hasn't any sense about
Il, and lays two or three in a cell,
disrupting the whole social organi-
nation of the hive. That was the
one inefficient thing we saw about
the bee, and the "Bee Man" said 1t
was rare.
The bee lives only for the state,
and in that respect also resembles
the German. Its life is absolutely
snbservient to the life OF the hive
IL certainly achieves results, but who

SNELLING'S CLAIMS
RECOGNIZED.

The war department has wisely
reconsidered its plan to drop Fort
Smelling from the list OF officers
training camps.
It was planned not to hold the sec
end camp at Smelling, but to transfer
Id TO Fort Riley. The Twin Cities
expected this to be the forsrunner of
an announcement that the Twin
Cities would be the site Of one OF the
cantonments for the new war army,
hut again Fort Smelling was missing
from the list. 1t seemed that the fort
had been abandoned entirely as a
training ground, until the later an
nouncement that the training camp
would be restored. ..-
Northern men will stand the cli-
mate at Smelling much better than
the more southerly brand. The
course at the second camp will be
completed before winter arrives,
Smelling is well equipped and well
located, with ample transportation
facilities. It is also centrally located
for the students who will attend,
making 1t possible for friends and
relatives OF the men to visit them.
Smelling should never have been
dropped from the list.

REFuTEs SOME LIES ABOUT
MEXICO.
To The Forum office there comes
occasionally a little paper called
'"The Mexican Review.
1t calls itself "A journal devoted
to. the enlightenment of the Ameri-
can people in regard to the hopes.
ambitions, benehcent intentions and
accomplishments of the constitution
alist government OF Mexico" II 10
published in New York and carries
no advertising matter that would
make it self-supporting, so the nat
ural inference is that 1t is an organ
of the Mexican government.
This little journal paints a very
hopeful picture of the future OF
Mexico with the government rapidly
order and bringing
conditions back to normal. 1t
specifically denies a number of
statements, which it says are posi-
lively false.
Among these are the following:
1t is absolutely false that there
is peace and quiet only where there
are German interests.
1t is false that the only bank that
does business in Mexico is the Ger
man bank. All private banks in
Mexico are doing business.
1t is false that Villa has been
lately in Chihuahua.
The statement that Mexico is in
direct wireless communication with
Berlin, is absurd, since IL is a
physical impossibility under present
conditions.
Answering the charge that there
are 100000 Japanese soldiers in
Mexico, is the statement that the
total Japanese population of the en-
tire country is about 1000 including
800 women and children.
