Moorhead Northern departs G:20 a« m. other day a man was arrest edin this city in his lodging room on the charge of drunkenness and sen tenced to pay. the usual fine. The man insisted that.it was no one'? business if he became intoxicated in his own room and the interference of the po lice was unwarranted and unjustifiable. But is that view of the matter tenable? Has a man a right to get drunk in his own room? Is it interfering with his "personal liberty" to insist that he shall remain sober, whether on the streetxor in his home? Does the place make any particular difference? Ap parently not in the eye of the law in those states where similar ,cases have been tested. Drunkenness is declared a misdemeanor in itself. Whether a man has a right to become intoxicated in his own home is not often discussed. Many a man has escaped the clutches of the law by staggering' home, where he felt that he was safe from molesta tion and free to recover his senses. Thus the home has been made the shelter of the intoxicated. If drunken nesst5 shourd be '$•' misdetrieanor" an^* where it should be in the home, fo'f'it is the, home's worst enemy. The gen eral public is seldom inconvenienced by a drunken persoh on the street, but in most cases the home suffers. There, if anywhere, ought to be sobriety. The poorest excuse that a man could give for being drunk would be the plea that, he became .intoxicated in his own home and it was no one's business. Fortunately the moral phase of the matter is supported by legal authority. The law ought to be strictly en forced in the interest of the home. *^It is not difficult to, find fault with the existing order of things. Nearly everybody will admit that there is room for improvement in the social industrial and political world. Hence it is not strange that there should be numberless schemes of reform. The indictment of the present order of things by that class of agitators who delight to call themselves socialists is admittedly strong but not necessarily startling. There is no occasion for pessimism because there are still a good many tasks td accomplish, a good ntarty wrongs' to right and the struggle is uphill. It is well to direct attention to faults but it is no indica tion pf vital weakness to admit that all is not as it should be. The world is not groping in the dark. It is mak ing progress. History teaches that plainly enough. It is one thing to pic ture in the mind how the world should be reformed and one altogether differ ent matter to inaugurate reforms. This world was a long time in hi|j|t its present state of developfn&|< it »n-t going radically '•r /t ft DAILY REPUBLICAN", FARGO FORUM WEDNESDAY EVENING Often The Kidneys An Weakened kjr Om-W«k. Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood. It used to be considered that only urinary and bladder troubles were,to be traced to the kidneys, but .now modern science proves that nearly all diseases have their beginning in the disonler' 'of thesfe most important orgaHS. The kidneys filter and purify the blood' that is their work. Therefore, when your kidneys are weak or out of order, you can understand how quickly your entire body is affected and how every organ seems to fail to do its duty. If you are sick or feel badly," begin taking the great kidney retneSy, ,Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon as your kidneys are well they will help all the other organs to health. AVtrial will convince anyone. If you are sick you can make no mis take by first doctoring your kidn&s. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy, is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases, and is sold on its merits by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar size bottles. You may have a sample bottle Home of Swamp-Root, by mail free, also a pamphlet telling you how to find out if you have kidney or bladder trouble.

Fault finders haven't made tlu world better but men with practical ideas havfe.'1 The world is filled with practical men, not ideal men. Condi iions must be dealt with^as^hey arc. and not as we would like to have them There is plenty of reason for hope U the practical reformer. The. map of .North Dakota re cently isiied by Commissioiie'r of"'Ag riculture' a^d Labor Turner is a ver valuable publication and .every homt in the state ought to possess a cop\ for reference. The statistics on the re verse side of ihe map present a» con Cise but eloquenl record of North Da kota development. The facts are ven interesting as a showing of the great riess of the state and it'S possibilities The assessed valuation of real and per sonal property in North Dakota ii 1903 is $146,537,444, less than 1903 estimated 'tyr bt 20 per certt of the actua ^walu® The commissioner Estimate the"'v£lue of this year's product of tht farm, will amount to fully nearly as greatfTas'the assessed valua tion of the real and personal property There are eighty-four flouring mills ir the state and sixty-eight lignite coa mines.

"The trials of the traveling man a^uld not be borne if it were not for he little vein of humor that streaks .hem all," said a Fargo traveling sales man the other day.

HIS FORMER PULPft: While Senator Gorman was delivering his earnest speech in behalf of a thor ough investigation of the postoffice de partment an aged man stooping under the burden of four score years, looked in through the glass doors of the rear lobby. The Marylander's words had an unusual charm for him. He was loath to move away. "Ah, that year's train ing I gave him is telling," exclaimed the octogenarian, "it's telling." The old man was Royal H. Porter, .now president of a bank at Kenne, N. H. He is visiting in Washington and went to the senate in the hope of meeting the Maryland senator, who fifty years ago was. his pupil in a school at Laurel, v FEVER SELDOM DIES OUT. New Orleans Times-Democrat: Do you know there is such a thing as "newspaper fever" and that it just worms and burns its way into a fellow's system and remains there as long as life lasts? It is a fact. Men who work 'around newspaper offices know it to be true. They know it is true not only to the men who work in the business, but many others who never happen to get into the business at all. There is an old legend to the effect that if a. man once takes the Mississippi River water he will keep coming t$c k to the same old river, no matter where jhe goes. It is the same way in the newspaper business. Taste it oqce and you have got it in your 2 a. i., tired and sleepy, and with anticipa of a good rest on a genuine old fashioned feather bed.
