Hon. Josephus Daniels has in.
duced George Creel to give him g
couple of columns of space in the
Official Bulletin to pay his respects
to the American press.
In these days when so much ii
heard Of the "venal press" and the
kept press" and newspaper lies
and all the other sins that are as
ISOLATED with newspapers. the kind
ly words of the urbane Josephus are
as balm. Just bear with us to the
extent of a few lines Of 1t:
THE press Of America has
won national gratitude by It's
splendid spirit Of service dur
ing the past year. With few ex-
ceptions, the newspapers Of
America have put service Of
country above everything else.
News has been secondary to SER
vice.-The splendid way in which
the press as a whole has risen
to the occasion and measured up
to it's responsibilities has given
me an added pride in the pro-
fession."
There is a lot more of it, very
laudatory and very pleasant to read.
Allowing for "a little southern exu-
berance on the part Of Mr.. Daniels,
there is a generous measure of
truth in what he says. The Forum
has watched with considerable pride
the stand taken by the newspapers
Of America, from the most humble
country weekly to the metropolitan
dailies. Some Of them are a little
blatant in their patriotism; some
rather sentimental about it; some
may be accused Of a little flag wav-
ing at times; but we believe that 80
per cent of them are fright" at heart.
With the country united as it is now,
it would be folly to take any stand
but a patriotic one. but there have
been times since last April when
such was not the case.
G. o. Warren, a woman writer Of
verse. has recently published a little
collection she calls "Trackless
Regions"
While they just fall short OF real
power, there is a haunting, sombre
appeal to them. Here is an excerpt
from one entitled THE Wild Bird:
Like silence Of a starlit sky.
Like wild birds rising in the
night
Such was her dying, such her
flight
Into Eternity.
But I who dwell with memory,
Dream in my grief that she
may soar
Too high, and needing love no
more
Come neYermore to me"
Or take this bit from 1.-THE Cen":
Strange is 1t not, that she and
I should go
Down such divided ways:
Our shared yet distant days
Rising to noon, fading to
evening glow.
To fall at last in still remoter
night"
For a really lugubrious Sunday af-
ternoon, we would advise volume
of Miss or MRS" Warren's
verse, and graphophone grinding
out Tosti's Goodbye" or the Tschai-
kowsky 'pathetique' symphony. 1T

The word ''bourgeoisie' has taken
on a new meaning since the Russian
revolution.
There are three words. lie bourgeois,
Ia bourgeoise, and la bourgeoisie,
denoting the masculine, the feminine
and the class. The word bourgeois
originally was applied to man who
living in a bourg. or an enclosed
fortified place. Later the term
''bourgeoisie" came to signify the
great middle class" Of citizens, the
shop keepers.
A few years ago the term was one
Of contempt, used by the nobility,
as denoting a class beneath them
in the social scale. They were scorn-
ed because Of their humble posi-
ton, and their commonplaceness.
But since the Russian revolution,
they have been held up to public
scorn because they enjoy more OF
this worlds goods than the revolu-
tionists. The hated Bourgeoisie"
are synonymous with the rotten
rich" and the Capitalists Of Amer
lea,

NEWS AND COMMENT

Yellow with age. tattered and torn
a copy Of the first issue Of Th'
Fargo Forum was brought to us this
week by Hans Larson. the owner o.
the relic, who has been a reader Of
The Forum since the first issue.
It is dated November II, 1891, and
is a little four page, seven column
journal,
It is Of special interest because OF
an article by A, w. Edwards which
clears any doubt which might exist
as to which was the first newspaper
in Fargo.
Quoting from Major Edwards
article:
IT first saw Fargo in 1875. A year
later had property here, and in
1878, established The Fargo Repub-
lican, bringing five families to the
city. Then twelve years ago this
month. November. 1879. the first copy
Of The Daily Argus was issued in
Fargo from ready-nade building
shipped from Chicago. and erected
on a lot previously purchased by me,
one door west of Mr.. deLendrecie's
Great Chicago Dry Goods House on
Front street. Within thfrty-six
hours after its arrival by car, this
two story house was filled with type,
presses and Argus attaches.
II continued in active management
Of The Argus until recently, and at
the time of the fire in 1886, I had
buildings covering nearly a quarter
Of a block on Seventh street, oc-
cupied by The Argus plant working
some eighty people"
This little bit of Fargo newspaper
history has considerable sentimental
value to The Forum. The Forum,
through it's amalgamation with The
dates its volume num-
Der from the latter. and it feels that
Major Edwards has therefore es-
tablished its claim to being the
oldest newspaper in Fargo" The
Courier-News might lay claim to-
the right to fits volume number from
The Argus, which was established a.
year later, according to Major Ed
wards. butt does not do so. and
claims to be but ten years old.

OCTOBER SUGAR
CERTIFICATES MAILED

Lansing, Sept. 30.-The last batch
of sugar certificates for controlling
the states allotment for October, were
mailed out of Lansing Saturday night.
The household allowance remains the
same as for September, two pounds
per person per month. The ice cream
and soft drinks manufacturers are
favored for tn month, while the
bakers are hit harder than usual
through the new restrictions. Clarence
j. Mears, head of the sugar division,
thought at first it must be mistake,
but careful reading of the instruc-
tions convinces him that the allotment
favors the ice cream and soft dring
industries. The bakers are granted
one-third the total amount of sugar
they used during the quarter begin
ming July 1, which is their light sea-
son, while the soft drink and ice cream
manufacturers are likewise allotted
one-third of their supply, based on the
same ninety days, which happens to be
their flush period. This is, of course.
one-third of their fifty per cent cut
announced some time ago.
Mr.. Mears, the sugar chief, stated
every request for canning sugar,
made through the proper channels,
were granted. "Some of the requests
were cut" added Mears, "but in every
case the rduction was based on the
statement filed by the grocer as to
the sugar he required in his business
during April, May, June. If we re-
ceived request for canning sugar out
of proportion to. the grocer's straight
commercial sugar trade for that per-
iod, we cut the request to harmonic
with needs prior to the canning sea-
son. AS said, some requests were cut
down, based on the grocer's own affi-
davit. l really do not know of an in
stance where out arbitrary action re-
suited in gripping the canning opera
tions of single locality. You know
the general tendency is to make re-
quest large enough and we pared it
down to harmonic with the emer-
gency. Michigan folks did-very well,
should say" concluded Mr.. Mears.
