Good government, in a re public at least, depends upon the in telligence of the citizens. How essen tial. then, that the corps of teachers of the public schoQls should be of a high standard, as thoroughly fitted for the duty of training the youth of the land as is possible to secure. To econ omize in the important matter of en gaging a teacher because there are a good many seeking positions, is poor policy. As a rule the best teachers de mand the best salaries and the school board that will engage an inferior in structor because he will labor for $5 or $10 per month' less than another who is known to he'better fitted for the work, works an injury to the com munity and every citizen in it. You can't raise the standard of instructors of the youth of the. state too-high. In no state, city or community arc capa ble teachers paid more than they de serve. True, the best teachers do not work for salary, alone. Theif hearts are in the work. The school teacher is the chief adjunct of the home in citi zen making. He is the most potent influence in the life of the child during the most important period of his de velopment. In the recent state teach ers' examination there were 647 exam ined. Of these onlythirteensecured first grade certificates, while 304 were grant ed, second grades and. 199 third grades. There were 131 failures, said to be the smallest percentage, of any examina tion. It is gratifying fo note the num ber pf second grades as compared with third grades. It indicates a develop ment along right lines. It is too bad there were not more first grades. The fact that the percentage of failure? was smaller that usual may not me^n that the tests were not as difficult as ordi narilly. It is probable that the class of applicants has improved. B*i^ the standard is not too high. There is usually a shortage of teachers in the state and there have been complaints that the examinations are too thor ough. North Dakota has a reputation lor fostering high grade common schools and attracts the best teachers of older states. That is as it should be. If there are not enough teachers it will be better &o raise the salaries offered. Such a course will have the effect of attracting good teachers. Give your children of the rural districts, as well a* of the cit* school#*!*! advan tagc of being trained by the best teach trs obtainable. It will pay. Senator Piatt a are said to have A-p? 1 1 DO YOU GET UP Vk^ WITH A LAME BACK? Kidney Trouble Makes Tou Miserable. Almost everybody who reads the papers is sure to know of the wonderful cures made by Dr. u Kilmer's Swamp- Senator Hanna's warm friendship for the late president and his continued loyality for Mr. McKinley's polices contribute much to the regard iir which the Ohiya« i$ h.«W by thct Am^ican people. While tolone! ISryan is In Creat Britain it would be a good move on the part of Joe Chamberlain to engage him to make a few free trade speeches in his behalf. Colonel Bryan is a jgreat vote getter for the opposition. Why wouldn't it be a good itta to direct the attention of the interiofr de partment to the $10,000 appropriation said to have been set aside to make a preliminary survey of the Red River Valley in behalf of government -drain age? While Senator Morgan's persistency, is admirable in itself his opposition to the Panama Canal. fa,r from being con vincing. has long been tiresome. It will serve a good purpose if it results in the enforcement of a reasonable cloture rule in the upper house. The Chicago street railway strike being over the "graft" investigation can now hold forth in full sway. The coun try is interested in the struggle in be half of clean official conduct in the western metropolis. The success of the movement means a good deal. A Boston judge has decided that a landlord may lease bed bugs along with apartments and that tenants have to pay for their keeping. This legal pre cedent will doubtless be of material benefit to many but it ought not to easie the conscience of the landlords. An Oklahoma judge in charging a jury recently wanted it distinctly un derstood that osculation was not an evidence of bad character, the remark being occasioned by an attempt on the part of attorneys to prejudice a plain tiff by calling a witness who testified that the young lady had been hugged and kissed in public. The judge was a man-of good sense. PLAIN DUTY OF THE SENATE. Albany, N, Y., Argus: "Justice for Leonard Wood" is demanded by an administration organ. It is a hopeful sign. Public opinion must be making itself felt in the senate if the president's favorite feels constrained to make such' an appeal. The senate has ad uty to perform, and it is this: Justice for the army of the Unitpd States. Justice for the 456 colonels, lieutenant colonels and majors over whom Wood was jumped because he chanced to be a president's chum. Justice to the ser vice and justice to the nation, which may some day be engaged in a great war, with an army doctor as command ing general.

THE FARGO FORUM AND ftAlLY REPUBLICAN, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 27, 1903. K SHORT «discoveredgreatyears II Root, the great kid 11 ney, liver and blad- der remedy. It is the med ical triumph of the nineteenth century after of scientific research by Dr. Kilmer, the eminent kidney and bladder specialist, and is wonderfully successful in promptly curing lame back, uric acid, catarrh of the bladder and Bright's Disease, which is the \rorSt form of kidney trouble. Dr, Kilmer's Swamp-Root is not rec ommended for every thing but if you have kidney, liver or bladder trouble it will be found just the remedy you need. It has been tested in so many ways, iu hospital work and in private practice, and has proved so successful in every case that a special arrangement has been made by which all readers of this paper, who have not already tried it, may have a sample bottle sent free by mail, also a book tell ing more about Swamp-Root, and how to find out if you have kidney or bladder trou ble. When writing mention reading this generous offer iu this paper and send your address to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Biughamton, N. Y. The regular fifty-cent and one dollar size bottles are sold by all good druggists. Don't make any mistake, but remember the name, Swamp-Root, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the address, Biughamton, N.

A The president's greeting to the rep resentatives of Butte labor organiza tions was warm enough to. pjca&e the most exacting—befitting labors- best friend. ..• The street. railway employes of Chi cago (}id the honorable thing in going to work, pending the settlement of the wage scale by arbitration. That was fair to the public and themselves. TORI "I'm all out of sorts, this morning," said a Fargo business man. "Too much Thanksgiving turkey, eh!" suggested the Street Story man. "No, not that that typewriter of mine is the cause of it all." "I thought that typewriter. was the real thing. "Well, that's why." *'I always was stuckl^l^tt^ type writer." "Same here." touch!" -Say! "So firm and yet $0 graceful! "Yes, all of that/". "But the last time I was in she seem ed to wabble slightly, and she seemed to need a good cleaning up you take my advice and 'Say, do you know that you are talk ing about the girl I love?, "Machine, yoti mean'•:. A'' "No. girl." -t "Oh," said the Street Stb^ iiian and lie suggested that turkeys and especial ly geese would be a drug on the mar ket for the next few days. In a justice court the other* day a Casselton lawyer who was making a strenuous defense for a client accused of embezzlement arose to appeal for the last time to the court. The case was a desperate one and the attorney, who is noted as a courtroom orator, realized that what he lacked in con vincing proof must be made up in the right kind of argument. After a brief review of the charges against his. client and of the testimony which had been submitted by the pros ecution the speaker launched into a personal history of the man 011 trial. He told of his many virtues, his devo tion to the interests of his employers and his love and care of his fajnily. "Why, your honor, among the com mon run of men as we find them to day. my client is a stalwart," shouted the impassioned lawyer. Then he stop ped and folded his arms across his am ple breast and gazed at the court to emphasize the effect of his words. Silence had fallen on all in the crowded court room save one. A small deaf man in the rear of the room lean ed over to his companion and in a small, shrill piping voice asked: "What kind of a wart did he say his client was?" The judge smiled while the assemb lage. laughed audibly, and th«e la*ryer was so flurried by the incident that the rest of his plea failed. It was the morning for the regular weekly ainging lesson. The teacher had just finished telling the children— they were all spending their first year in school—about the beauties of know ing how to sing. The teacher's talk had been beautiful and she was sure that it would bear fruit. "Now all of you who want to know how to sing will please raise your hands," said the teacher. Thei:e was a race to see whose hjmd should go up first. Then there was another race to see whose should be raised the highest. But the teacher saw two little girls sitting with their hands on their desks. "Why, I'm surprised, my little girl," said the teacher, as she poirited to one of them. "Why don't you waiit to learn to sing?" 'Cause I don't have to." answered the little girl. "I know how now." It was a bit too much for the teacher and all of the little girls wondered at the smile which crossed her fade. "I have a sure preventative for tramps." said a suburban resident the other day. "At my kitchen door there is usually a pile of wood, and in the shed near I always have a plentiful sup ply. The sight of a woodpile naturally suggests work to a tramp, but they are good judges of whether that wood will need cutting or not, and I found that the mere sight of that nicely cut wood had little deterrent effect upon them. But after some thought an idea sug gested itself to me and since I have adopted it there has not been a tramp at my oack door. I got some wood in long sticks which I piled at the door and just convenient in good view I hung a bucksaw. The connection was obvious to the most dull mind—though tramps seldom have dull minds. 'Since that saw and the long wood has been there my wife tells me that tramps have been altogether absent." PINCHES THE OTHER FOOT. Richmond Times-Dispatch: A few years back the farming class complain ed that they were the poorest class in the land, that they were discriminated agiainst. that merchants and manufac turers were growing rich, while they were growing poorer all the time. The farmers are now on top.' This year they have an abundant crop of grain and cotton and prices are abnormally high. People in the cities are com plaining of the high cost of living, and most of them have been compelled to reduce their expenses and deny them selves many luxuries which they form erly enjoyed. In general terms, mer chants and manufacturers and those who are employed by such concerns are Deing pinched, while the farmers are enjoying a season of wondrous prosperity. The high cost of living has not affected the farmer, excejtf tty his advantage.
