MANY LEAVING OVER GREAT NORTHERN FOR FORT PECK RESERVATION LAND OPENING —G. N. OFFICIALS REPORT THE TRAFFIC VERY HEAVY. Large Crowds are reported to be traveling over the Great Northern for the opening, Great Northern officials say the traf fic has been very heavy. Monday night the crowds on the trains passing through the city and boarding the Great Northern trains at various points in this state, were ex ceedingly large. From Grand Forks alone there were sixty people who boarded the train bound for the res ervation. Fargo was not so largely represent ed with homeseekers going out to the drawing, but there were several from here who went. On account of the heavy travel for the reservation, many of the trains were routed via Grand Forks instead of the Fargo-Minot cutoff which was crowded with trains. This plan will probably continue to be in effect as long as the present rush to eastern Montana continues. Most of the passengers are frdm St. Paul and other points east. Grand Forks, N.

Everybody's: Eugene was going for a week's motor trip with his father. "Have you everything you need?" in quired his mother. "You'd better let me look at your bag." who was very anxious to be off. "Every single thing I need-" "Have you taken your brush and comb?" queried his mother. "Brush and comb!" chied Eugene in dignantly. "Why, mother, I thought I was going on a vacation!" "Everything's in it," replied the boy, Those Women 1 Juderft:' ^-^larie—1 winder how old y o u a e Julia—I iust told you my age. Marie—Yes, that's what set me to wondering, Fashion is exacting! Soft, flowing draperies become graceless bunches over an ill-chosen or ill-adjusted cor set. And how can a tailored coat set with jaunty grace unless the hip-lines beneath are subdued to perfect-har mony? ... Even so small a matter as the angle of the hose-supporters Misrule and Barbarism Hold Full Sway in Guatemala Chicago Tribune: Guatemala is the worst of all Central American states. That such crime, such tyranny, such absolute lack of and contempt for jus tice could exist in the twentieth cen tury, and so near the United States, seems impossible. The worst of it is that an attempt is made to I'over it all up. There is an outward show of decency, which has and does deceive the unwary and gives the interested a backing for their argument that every thing is as it should be. The great show and at the same time the greatest fake in Guatemala is the school system. In some of the towns, particularly in Guatemala City, the capital, schools have been built. Every building erected means graft for an official. The course of study outlined is complete and covers a large field, only it is not followed and never has been. Ordinarily teachers get 40 to 45 Gua temalan pesos, a month. Professors in the national institute get 60. up to 400, the salary of the director. It takes iust 19 to 20 of these pesos to make one American dollar. Sixty per cent of the population of Guatemala is In dian and yet the Indian .children in school are few and far between. What students there are are mostly Ladino. The chief subject taught is a smatter ing knowledge of reading and writing. The fact of the matter is the school system is a colossal bluff, got up to deceive Americans. Plays to Uncle Sam. Cabrera knows his continuance in power depends upon American toler ance. He knows that were the truth known about him the indignation it would arouse would sweep him from power immediately. For this reason he not only tries to deceive Americans entering his country, but employs in Washington a firm of American law yers to really represent him, the Guatemalan minister being a mere figurehead, and in addition spends considerable sums in the United States for a press agency. The currency of the country is steadily and rapidly depreciating. Ex change Is rising at the rate of about 100 points a year. There are no gold o.r silver coins in circulation, nothing but paper and nickel. may meantne making or' marring of y°Ur ^gu£fr: and that means the stylg of your gown. A perfect-fitting Warner Corset is first aid to a perfect figure and Per^5t setting gown. The best-dressed wo men in town recognize this, ana on Warner's Rust-Proof. A large part of security for the currency in circula tion. Already this money has practic ally nothing back of it other than the general guarantee of the country. The price of labor is steadily going up. The laborer geits none of the in crease, however. The jefe politico, to whom a planter must go to get labor ers, pockets the increase. The Indian, ignorant, with no chance whatever paid, when paid at all, in a depreciat ed currency, and absolutely at the mercy of brutal officials, has finally become discouroged to such an extent that he is fleeing the country when he can manage to escape. There are well authenticated cases of towns which have lost in this way 7,000 to: 8,000 people In the last few years. Petty Officers Rob and Steal. The officials have full power. To keep himself in power Cabrera must grant them every license. They rob whom they choose, they take whatev er women they choose, and they abuse personally and imprison whomsoever they choose. There is no redress. The courts make no pretense of giving justice. They are part of the system and make no effort to hide the fact. Cabrera maintains himself by means of a highly centralized govern ment supported by terror. Everything centers in his hands In his palace. The various ministers about him are fig ureheads. At the slightest sign of an outbreak, the suspected chiefs are promptly executed without trial. Ev erybody on whom even the slightest suspicion is cast is arrested, impris oned, and too often tortured, if not shot. An innocent man, who, though un tried, gets off with several years im prisonment, can consider himself lucky. The p'eople cannot successfully plot against Cabrera because his spy sys tem is complete. He keeps them un armed and they cannot trust each other. No one can enter or leave the country without his permission. No one can give a clear title to hid property for purposes of sale unles9 he can show the tax receipts. These cannot be obtained. Therefore it is impossible for any Guaternaltecan to sell his property and leave the coun-* try. Those who displease Cabrera or whom he considers dangerous are dis posed of in a way which cannot ba traced to his door. Some night when, walking along the street they are murdered. Cabrera regrets that the robbers should become so bold, but then he cannot be held responsible. The result of these conditions is that in all the countries with the ex ception of Costa Rico and Panama the people are steadily degenerating. Each generation grows up with fewer ideas of truth and honesty than the preceding one. Such is Central America, a land favored by nature with every oppor tunity for development, and kept by man in a state of barbarism. TO PIT! MT«.

This rule has been found necessarjr becaiise of the large expense to which The Forum is put in collecting these small amounts. In many instances the advertisement is for only 20 cents for the first inser tion and it may run for only one or two insertions. The Forum is then forced* to send a collector, perhaps to the limits of the city for a 40 cent or 50 cent account. Then possibly the person Is not at home, or does not have the change and another and per haps several trips are necessary and finally the account may be lost all to gether. Besides this there is the necessity of keeping books for each of these amounts. There are hundreds of the^e small accounts on The Forum's booka each month and the bookkeeping ex pense alone runs into an astonishing figure. The Forum hopes that this matter will be received in the right spirit by the patrons of the classified ad page. This page is one of the most valuable to The Forum patrons of any in the paper.
