*^The Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union is very much stirred up
over the report of a self-appointed
committee of fifty who have been mak
ing an alleged investigation of the
liquor problem in the United States.
The portion of the ffcport to which the
good ladies take particular exception
is that concerning the compulsory
teaching of temperance physiology in
the public schools. It appears the com
mittee made a bitter attack upon the
present manner of teaching temper
ance physiology in the comon schools
and the class of textbooks, used, the
main charge being that alcohol and its
qualities are misrepresented to the
pupils. The W. C. T. U. answers each
of the accusations and directs the at
tention of the public to this apparent
endeavor to seriously restrict the
teaching of temperance in the public
schools and. if possible, stop it alto
gether. Well may the ladies be alarm
ed at an attack upon this main bulwark
of the temperance cause. It may be
that in some instances the instruction
along temperance lines has been too
radical, but as a general rule it will be
found that the subject is given much
less attention than it deserves. The
legislatures of nearly every state have
made provision for temperance in
struction in the common schools and
this wise move was brought about
through the influence of the W. C. T.
U. It is perhaps tl*e niost intelligent
and comprehensive method of aquaint
ing the child with technical knowledge
concerning the effects of the use of
alcoholic liquors and" thus warning
them of the dangers in connection with
the liquor traffic. It is doubtless the
greatest enemy of the saloon and all
its environments. No wonder then
that the mothers are alarmed at any
attack' upon this bulwark pf the tem
perance home! There may be little
danger of every stopping the instruc
tion in temperance in the public
schools but it will do no harm to keep
in touch with movements having such
an object in view. V
Perhaps in no section of our
country is there likely to te more
Christmas cheer in proportion to the
population than in North Dikota this
year. No people as a class are better
able to exemplify the Christmas spirit
in a practical manner than those of
North Dakota. Nature has been boun
tiful with her harvest and want is the
exception and plenty common. In a
materia! way at least this bught to be
a very merry Christmas for most citi
zens. The Master said the poor will

Fargoans are no exceptions. The poor
will be remembered in a substantial
manner and made to feel that selfish

good thing to feel that one is not for

know that the poor and needy may
enjoy the sympathy, good will and
gifts of those better situated financial
ly. The world does not seem so cold
and hard, even amid bitter suffering,
when the spirit of unselfishness is ex
ercised bounteously on Christmas.
New conrage comes to the fainting
heart and new life to the home of the
struggling. The habit of Christmas
giving to the less fortiin&te is ^good
one to cultivate.

It is reported that President
Roosevelt has promised not to pro
mote General \jV00d again if he is
confirmed this time. The president's
record is' such that few will credit so
ridiculous a rutnor. The president
could hardly afford to lower his dig
nity in such a manner.
^.The shortage of the lignite sup
ply ih the northwestern part of the
state is said to have raised the price
per ton so that many find it pays to
burn anthracite. A strike is reported
under contemplation among the min
ers for increased pay per ton for min
ing. Human nature is the same every
where.
It looks like Colombia, will be
prevented from making war on the
United States by the intervention of
European powers. Uncle Siam is capa
ble of managing the matter but the
friendly intervention of European pow
ers in behalf of civilization and pro

terially in settling a very delicate prob

y GOLD PAYMENTS.
trie's Weekly: Jan. 1, 1904, will be
a great anniversary in the financial and
political annals of the United States.
On that day the act which brought the
country's currency up to the gold level
will have been itf operation just a quar
ter of a century. That act's causes and
consequence^ make it one of the great
datemarks in the history of the United
States.
After seventeen years of irredeemable
currency, the resumption act on Jan. i,
1879, brought all forms of money in the
United States up* to the gold level, and
that law, through all the monetary crises
which have come since then, has held
every dollar of the currency up to the
100-cent mark, as measured by gold.
"The resumption has immediately restor
ed the credit of the United' States in
every mart of the world, strengthened
the hands of every president, presented
the drop to the silver basis during the
more than a dozen years' deluge of the
white metal, and held the finances firmly
to the world'6 standard when national
insolvency and national dishonor threat
ened.

Assistant State's Attorney Barnett

and while there had a little leisure
time and proposed a day's hunt to his
old friend Clarke Kennedy. They don
ned the regulation hunters' uniform
and Kennedy wore a sweater, but Bar
nett refused to part with his red neck
tie. which he only wears on visiting oc
casions. While they were separated
some distance traveling through a
large field, Barnett came upon a bull.
The animal and the man saw each oth
er at about the same time and there
ivas a hint of trouble at the start. Bar
nett* threw away his gun and started
for the fence and Kennedy, who was
on one side, climbed over it and watch

to catch its prey.

By this time the proprietor and a

reached the scene, armed with shot
guns and revolvers. "What is it?"
asked the proprietor, looking about for
a Crazy man or a wild animal of some
description.
"A mouse," said the young lady
who^e face was buried in the folds of
the young man's overcoat. "Oh, may
