retire wealthy is not alarmingly

WHY is 1T so7

There are persons who still refuse
tn conserve white bread because they
"don't like rye bread.
There are persons who still refuse
10 conserve beef and pork, because
sqt costs just as much or more 10
eat what Hoover prescribes".
There are persons who still refuse
10 keep a close watch on the sugar
bag because they like a jar Of cook
les handy, or pies and cakes for des-
sert.
There are persons who will still
refuse to put in a backyard garden
because sit is cheaper in the end TO
buy what you need.
But you won't find any soldiers IN
the army who refuse to go over the
ton when ordered, because 1T is safer
here in the trenches.
You won't find any soldiers IN
France refusing to go to the front
line trenches, because ut is much
more enjoyable in Paris.
You won't find any soldiers refus-
lsng to get out of bed at 1 o'clock for
Va night raid, because "it is unpleas-
ant to get up so early in the morn
ting.
What's the reason?
Is It the inertia Of human nature?
us It ignorance? Is it sheer selfish
ness? Is it a total failure to compre-
bend the seriousness of the war, 5000
miles away?

MEN AS KNITTERs.

"sbouId men knit and do Red Cross
work?
osbouId Boy Scouts follow their
example, or set one for their elders?
why, in the name Of common
sense. shouldn't they?
Is the time of men or boys more
valuable than the time Of women?
Have men or boys less leisure time
than the woman who has the cares OF
81 household on her shoulders?
Are American men too proud TO
knit" as they were once too proud
10 fight?"
Is the intelligence Of men so super
ior that it mustn't he wasted on any
work so routine as knitting or fold
ing Red Cross bandages?
In Fargo, a few Boy Scouts are
knitting and doing very creditable
work. A few fremen are putting in
their spare time knitting.
The United Commercial Travellers
Ehave organized a class for surgical
dressing work. and are going at it
with enthusiasm. In some Of the
churches, classes of men have or
lganized.
But as yet the men have not taken
hold of the work in anything like the
proportion that the women have.
Why?
Probably it is due to the age-old
prejudice against men doing 'wo-
mems work., which, of course, is no
reason at all.

Mr.. BAKERS BEST POINT.

BY far the most convincing point
Mr.. Baker made in his testimony be-
fore the senate committee, was the
reference to the editorial in the
Metropolitan magazine, and his
answer to 1t.
The average citizen is lost in a
maze of technicalities in such an
investigation. He knows little or
nothing about the merits of Brown
ing or Lewis machine guns, or about
the details Of the ordnance depart
ment.
But he does know that the Metro
politan magazine has been more or
less, a personal organ of Mr.. Roose-
velt's. Mr.. Roosevelt has been am
bilious to be the Lord Northcliffe of
America, and arouse" this country
to the shortcomings Of the govern
ment. He has used the Metropolitan
magazine, The Outlook and The
Kansas City Star as his vehicles for
his fearless criticism.
Last August the Metropolitan
magazine had an editorial in which
it said: I'VE should have strained
every energy to have gotten from
50, 900 to 100000 men to France this
year.-And by next year we could
have had 100000 men to send over,
or any part Of SOC, 900 men which we
could ship.
That was the extreme limit Of
participation in the war that the edi-
tor hoped for, last August. The gov
eminent actually had at least double
that number Of men in France before
the end of 1917, and it will have the
SOC, 900 men set as the limit for this
year, in France early this year,
with 100000 more men ready to
transport. And they will all be prop
erly armed, equipped, and supplied
with artillery, whether by the Allies
or by this government.
That is a concrete fact that the
average man can grasp and hold. 1t
will Offset a lot of improperly assert
ed overcoats; a lot Of wooden guns
in the camps; a lot Of machine gun
shortages for training purposes. And
that is not saying that these short
comings are negligible, or that they
can't be and shouldn't be corrected.

Section 6. Whereas, an emergency
exists in that there is no provision
persons in the active mill
tary service of the United Stat $,
ties, and especially those in foreign
countries, may vote, and whereas
it is manifestly against public policy
and endangers the peace, health and
safety of the people of this state to

service Of the United States and de-
voting their lives to the defense Of
their country, of the right to vote.

ANSWERING A CONTEMPORARY

The Lidgerwood Broadax asks the
following questions editorially:
What's wrong with the farm
ers' running stores?
Isn't IL better that some Of the
money remain in the state than
that most Of 1t go to the mail or
der houses?
Is it absolutely necessary that
there be two classes, merchants
and farmers, and that the mer-
chant by reason OF his class be
permitted to drag down what
ever percentage Of profit he can
without let or hindrance?
Is ii q vested right with mer-
ehants-this keeping of a stock
Of goods?
Can no one butt in on the game
without exciting The Fargo
Forum into delicious trimmings?
Since the questions were asked
more or less directly Of The Forum
We viii gladly answer them In or
der, and in good faith.
1.-Nothing. The question has
never been raised in this case. The
farmers aren't running the stores
any more than The Forum is.

remain in the state IL 1t Is paid to
