FALLING ID FIND
 HEALTH, E|uS LIFE

In the same locality and by the same method by which Mrs. o. B. Moore last summer ended her life, John Medi- govich, a miner, yesterday committed suicide by hanging himself to a null berry tree in the rear of the home he occupied on Seventh street, north Of the Maricopa canal.
 Using the identical method employed by Mrs. Moore, Medigovich climbed the tree and placing the rope about his own throat jumped to his death. He was suspended several feet from the ground when discovered by his moth er-in-law, Mrs. J. H. Lepker, who with the assistance of neighbors cut down the body. Efforts to bring Medigovich back to consciousness proved futile, though it is not thought that all life had passed when he was discovered. The rope was loosely knotted and in stead of producing a broken neck as must have been the intent, Medigovich was strangled to death.
 Medigovich was just 2S years of age For the past few weeks he has suf fered intesely from pains in the head l and came here from Bisbee few days ago hoping to benefit by the change
  they went at once to her mother $ home where the suicide occurred.
 It is understood that Medigovich was not only worried about his physica | condition, but that his fast depletins | funds caused him much concern. Ills relatives had time and again offered him assistance and had told him not tC worry, T. w. Haney testified at the in quest held before Coroner Wheeler Haney said that physicians could no understand and the outlook of contin ued ill-health which would make l impossible to work was more than tn miner could face.
 The sheriffs office was notified o the suicide at 10 o'clock yesterda. morning when Deputy Sheriff F. Warren, Coroner Wheeler and a jur. composed of Charles J. McElrQy, fore man; l.. D. Force, Milford F. Drake c. c. Edwards, A. B. Fletcher ant Newton Shirk went to the scene Tn inquest was held a short time late the jury returning a verdict of deatl by hanging with suicidal intent.

COTTON CLASS|NC FEE PAYS FOR ROOM

The United States department of az riculture is again this year serving the cotton growers of the Salt River valley by placing expert classers here to class the cotton, and, as heretofore, this ser vice is open to all growers and no charge whatever is made by the de- pertinent.
 However, because of the large in crease in the cotton output, it has been necessary to rent, equip and furnish a large room for use of the classers, and will be necessary to furnish them some assistance in handling the samples. This expense has been borne entirely by the Tempe Cotton Exchange and the exchange, in order to distribute the cost of the sample room fairly among the growers making use of its privi- leges, will charge 25 cents for each sample classed.

UP TO THE VOTERS NOW.


Unalterably opposed as it is to the adop-
ton OF the Socialist constitutional amend
ments written by Fellow Worker lie
Sueur, The Forum rejoices that they are
to be submitted to vote Of the people, as
a result of the supreme court decision Sat-
urday.
True, this is the worst possible time to
bring the matter to an ISSUE with 1900
to 10000 of the voters in military service,
but better even that than negotiated
peace" with the Socialist constitution.
The issue Is to be placed squarely before
the voters, and North Dakota will have the
opportunity of saying definitely whether
or not she wants to turn the states cash
box over to the Socialists and "fellow
workers" of Bill Haywood; whether she
wants to remove the limit on the bonded
debt of the state; and whether she wants
to adopt the single tax theory.
Do we want to grant Townley, LeSueur
ct al the right to mortgage our property
without limit; to engage in all manner Of
business on the states credit; to open the
way for them to turn over their ram
shackle enterprises, run down newspapers,
and empty-shelved stores to the state at
face value or above it?
The decision of the supreme court per-
mits the issue to be placed squarely before
the voters Do we want Socialism and
Bolshevikism, or don't we?

BY Daniel Henderson, Of The viaiIantsa

BY Daniel Henderson, OF The VigiIantes.
Salvation lad and Salvation lass
Fearless of shrapnel flame and gas
Following where Booths great soul,
In the thick Of the fight, has fixed their goal!
No time to preach and little to pray:
Four hundred boys in line today
Poilus Tomnies, Canadians, Yanls
Lads from the air and lads from the tanks
Lads from the trenches and lads from the guns!
Treat them as mothers treat their sons!
Cheer them, spoil them, make them forget
That they are lonesome and grimy and wet!
Praise the Lord for the grace to drudge!
Pass out the cookies and hand round the fudge!
Boys, step up to the lassies' shelf:
Coffee and doughnuts-help yourself!
highland another tasks begun
The pie-wagon starts on its front-line run.
Adjutant Paul to the outposts takes
Salvation tarts and Salvation cakes!
The Berthas thunder; the gas-bombs fly
But-Glory Halelujah!-the sweets get byI
Folks in our land Of milk and honey,
The Salvation Army is short of money!
Turn your treasure into doughnuts for
The hungry boys who are fighting your war!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Let your coins come
Drop your dollars on the big bass drum!

JAP LEADER IN
SIBERIA HERO
OF RUSSIAN WAR

Toxic, Sept. Correspondence OF
the Associated Press. General XII
kuzo Otani, commander Of the ex-
peditionary force Of the entente allies
In Siberia, was one Of the JAPANESE
heroes OF the battle of the Yalu river
ia years ago. His staff includes the
most brilliant officers Of the Japanese
army.
During the Chinese war, General
Otant, who is 81 years of age, was
one Of the staff officers in the imper-
ial headquarters at Hiroshima. When
the Russo Japanese war began he.
then major general, was appointed
inspector general of the twelfth divi-
sion, which belonged to the First army
under General Kuroki, who startled
the world by winning the first victory
for Japan in the battle Of the YalI1
river. Later he became the com
mander of a brigade and his courage
and superior knowledge in tactics
made him hero of the war.
In one Of the battles Of the war,
General Otani's headquarters was
found by the Russians, who cross-fir-
ed 1t with hail Of shells. Realizing
the danger, one OF his staff officers
advised him to move. He heard the
advice with composure, and rejected
it by simply saying: ~ can't hear
the sound Of the firing. I'm afraid
I've become a little deaf"
L. Known AS Silent Man.
General Otani is known as a silent
man, like Field Marshal Oyamaand
Admiral Togo, and he is. considered a,
great tactician. He has an extensive
knowledge of mathematics.
Lieutenant General Mitsuye Yui, the
newly appointed chief of staff, has
long been known as one of the bright
est staff officers Of the Japanese

war, he served as the vice. chief Of the

rom the Washington mines.

PRESIDENTS
...5 Caddy Says.
From the Washington Times.
Magnolia, Mass.-Joe DineenAr II, caddy for
President Wilson at the Myopia Hunt GLIB, likes
the chief executive personally, but is critical of
his ability as a golfer. In an interview recently
he said:
president Wilson is a fair golfer He's got a
three-quarter swing. He would play golf better
if his swing was a little fuller. He should not
come back so fast on the back swing.
He should bring his wrists little higher on
the back swing
"He puts quite fast, If he putted about three
quarters fast he does, it would improve his
game whole lot.
Ills direction of drives is good He is a better
driver than putter.
"ae keeps his eye on the ball He didn't lose
any balls during the whole eighteen holes today
On the sixth hole he took out another ball and'
put another ball down, but Mr.. Murphy, the Sc
cret service man. who was over the course with
him, found it.
"The President didn't get into any traps, but
he got into the rough on several holes His ave-
rage for each hole was seven. but he made sew
eraI mines and tens. He didn't say very much to
me during the game. although several times he
said: where's the next tee, Iad?"
Sin summing the whole game OF the President,
should say he is a pretty good golfer
'AGrs Wilson plays fair game for 9. lady"

BEWARE THE HUN BEARING PEACE

During this German ''peace offensive
American morale is just as important as
lit was during the great German drive.
It is more endangered by good news
than bad.
BY all means let us keep our heads in
victory as we did in defeat.
OF course, we all want peace, and every
heart leaps at any prospect Of the right
kind Of peace.
But beware the '1peace extras"
The Forum feels grave responsibility
these days in presenting the news Of this
German peace drive to its readers. 1t has
no intention Of withholding one scrap of
such news, but it does not intend to give
that news undue prominence Our whole
aim is to induce readers of The Forum to
study the dispatches intelligently; to look
beneath the surface for their true mean
ing; to restrain premature hopes Of an
Immediate ending of the war.
Germany isn't Bulgaria.
Germany isn't beaten to her knees yet.
She hasn't made an unconditional sur
render

HOW "FEARLESS" is Mr.. LANCER
The Forum tonight presents evidence on
which Attorney General LANCER must eth
er begin an immediate prosecution of J.
J. Hastings, president of the Consumers
United Stores corporation, for violation of
the corrupt practices act of North Dakota,
or admit that there is one law in this
state for Nonpartisans and another for po-
itical oponents of the league.
The evidence is the photograph Of a
check signed by Mr.. Hastings as president
Of the Consumers United Stores company,
for $4,000 and payable to the Nonpartisan
league.
Remember that the stores company is a
corporation organized under the laws Of
North Dakota.
Remember that Mr.. Townley has testi-
fled under oath that the league is polite
al party.
Remember that before the primary cleo
ton the stores corporation published a
page advertisement in many papers urging
voters to support the league.
Remember that it's contract for subscrip-
tions provides for an educational and
propaganda" fund.
Remember that the laws of North Da-
kota forbid any corporation giving money
for political purposes.
Attorney General LANCER began the
Hoffman case on far less convincing evil
dence. He had evidence only for solocita-
ton of funds, and the Judge promptly dis
missed the case on this ground.
Here is Photographic evidence Of the &C.
tual payment of funds.
Does Mr.. hangers "fearlessness" in the
performance of his duty extend only to
the bounding of political opponents, or
does he possess the backbone to prosecute
his own political associates?
Just how fearless Mr. LANCER is in
the performance of even his home duties,
will be evidenced by the action he takes in
this case.
