| feel that you will pardon me for
referring to the wonderful progress
and advancement CT the great State
or North Dakota with unusual pride
and qualification and we all should
be devoutly thankful to cur Creator
fer the many magnificent privileges
and blessings we are permitted here
to enjoy. 1t was only few years
ago, comparatively. when this won
derfully productive soil of ours was
In undisputed possession of the orig
inal Americans, the Indian, and over
the now fertile fields roamed the nu-
merous herds of buffalo, that brave
progressive fore-runner Of civil.za-
ton. The early pioneer discovered
these broad prairies possessed almost
unlimited fertility and sent the good
news back to his eastern friends, ad-
vising them to avail themselves of the
advantages made possible through
the generosity OF our gccd Uncle
Samuel" by giving all home
Time prevents detailed descrip-
tion of cur early development and
the incidents responsible for our most
rapid progression. l feel that the
future has additional wonderful pos
slbilities when We develop more fully
our great natural resources-coal,
pottery and brick clays that we have
in such unlimited quantities.
The Future Is Rich.
also feel that our present pres
perity is but small to that which will
result In more intense, diversified,
scientific and intelligent farming.
We are too prone at the present time,
In my opinion, to indulge in only
these productions requiring the least
exertion regardless of conserving the
proper equilibrium and fertility CT
our soil that cniy stock raising and
diversified farming will do. We are
purely an agricultural state and our
future prosperity is mainly depend
ent upon cur methods of best utiliz-
ing and conserving our inheritance.
We are all dependant upon the pro-
Queer, and his reverses are our re-
verses.
Intelligence properly applied as
sures increased prosperity and cur
state is to be congratulated in pos
sessing educational institutions that
compare favorably with our sister
states. Our state university has an
enrolment of over 1000 this fall ami
the students are most ably instructed
by President Merrifield and his very
competent faculty. l think too few
in this state fully appreciate how
zealously President Merrifield has
labored for the success of this insti-
tuition and to what extent We are OBJ
ligated to him and the trustees for
the gratifying results received.
Our Agricultural college is a most
important factor in cur agricultural
progress. There the aid of agricul-
tural chemistry is most efficiently
demonstrated and most liberal edu-
cation is assured it's attendants. It
also deserves the most liberal treat
ment our state can accord it.
l point with pride to our Normal
schools, progressive in every respect
and competently filling the require
ments they were designed for.
Our penal and charitable, as we'll
as our ether educational institutions,
are fulfilling their various missions
In competent and thorough manner.
Their requirements are constantly on
the increase owing to our rapidly in
creasing population and it is the duty
OF cur legislative assembly to as lib
orally provide for their maintenance
as our means will permit.
Board Of Control.
In my opinion we should have for our
penal and charitable institutions
state board of control. Iowa, Wis
consin, Minnesota and many other
states have such a system and are
gratified with the change from other
methods. l am convinced that as
purely business proposition we would
be benefited and justified in making
the changes.
Pure Food Inv.
Every North DakOtan should be
proud of our pure food law and OF
Prof. Ladd, who has SO we'll carried
1t into execution. This is great
work and means much to every cit
lzen. The appropriation for the car
rying cut of this law should be in
creased and the department given
the widest latitude for the proper en-
forcement of the statutes.

The democrats form the party of
negation. They always have kick
coming. They always want to know
why this and that was not done the
other way. 1t Is easy to criticise and
hard to attain results. The repub-
lican party attains results in spite of
the dire predictions that democrats
always make of failure
