The WORLDS CONGRESS.
Budd Reeve Met With Success at
Grand Forks and Is Arranging
for the Big Congress.

Buxton, N. D., May 800 The Fo-
rum: The flag is winner. I wish
to say a good word for Grand Forks,
and ! want it to appear in a Fargo
paper
The Flag of the Earth was well re-
ceived IN Grand Forks and my work
and reception there was all that could
be desired.
Birth is always an important period.
Anxiety about results are now over.
Grand Forks enters into the spirit and
work Of world building in a way that
is entirely pleasing. This means
glorious results.
Much depends upon faith But the
true test, is acquaintance and trial
Through past operations, Fargo and
happen to know each other. She.
has been tried, and weighed up to full
measure. My confidence and know
ledge rest upon acquaintance and trial
there
On an introduction Grand Forks
shows up well, and she may stand up
with the veterans. If she does, North
Dakota will take great step forward.
For it is we'll known what trained pull
ers can do-that has been demonstrate
ed.
Now let the boys shake hands Sin
true sportsman like style.
The first congress under the Flag. of
the Earth is to meet in Grand Forks
on Sept. 16, 1907 and remain in session
| six days. This is the first world
gathering in the history of mankind,
where the people are coming together
on their own account to speak and
think for themselves on world mat
ters
To some, this looks like an impossi-
bility-but to show how perfectly ma
tural and easy it is, look at the situa-
tion.
| Every day, month in and month out
Including Sundays-there are base
ball contests, and on the front page
of every daily paper there is a
diagram more conspicuous than
the markets and disasters of
the world showing the score of players
and in addition to the conspicuous and
ever present score card, there are pic
lures of the great artists who wear The
masks and swing the bats-and daily
4
dollars to see the batting, running and
catching.
But is there any instance, where
the university presidents have ever
proposed or tried to get together to
furnish a score card for higher and
more universal development? The ath-
letes seem to have the field alone
The first congress can only be q

low-and two-thirds of the order ot
business can be given right here The
first day of the congress will be giver
to the university of North Dakota, ant
the presiding officer on that day viii
be the president of the university ol
I Eany one selected by him.
The second day of the congress will
belong to the agricultural college o
North Dakota, and the president d
that college will be the presiding Officer
for that day only. The third day vii
belong to Minnesota and the fourth Il
South Dakota-only two days left now
and what about all the other states IL
Il the union and foreign nations? There
should not be two minutes apiece fol
each to be heard. So there must be Z
condensed programme.
At the second congress, North Da
kota, would have only one day, anC
that would be closing day MinnesoIs
would come first. The first day in al
instances would belong to the stat,
