ever been an important factor in shap-

is its power greater than in America.
And that it is growing is shown by
the fact that there is demand for
the initiative and referendum, popu-
lar election Of senators, and primary
election laws. Public opinion is the
supreme court to which all the great
issues are appealed. The world will
continue to progress SO long as the

T0WNSEND'S SPEECH GOOD
Former Fargo Attorney Jars Roads
Defense in Big Land Grant Case
Now On Trial at Portland,

Under the caption. Townsend Jars
Roads Defense. The Evening Tele-
gram Of Portland. Ore. has lengthy
story concerning the arguments made
by Burdette d. TOWNSEND. the former
Fargo attorney who was for some
time assistant United States attorney
for North Dakota.
The Telegram says in part:
Before an audience that occupied
the space Of the federal court to such
an extent that standing room was in
demand. and composed for the most
part of prominent local attorneys,
Burdette D. Townsend. special assist
ant to the United States attorney gen.
eral. yesterday afternoon finished his
argument Of the land grant case in
whirlwind fashion. At its conclusion
he received many warm congratula-
tons. and was complimented profuse-
ly for delivering what is pronounced
one of the ablest presentations OF is
sues affecting the disposition of the
public domain ever heard in this or
in any other court.
1T was a terrific arrangement of
the methods employed by the Harri-
man system in the effort to retain it's
hold on the grant made by congress
years ago to the Oregon & California
Railroad company. and the govern
ment attorney surprised even his
most intimate friends with tho force
of his logic. For two days the spe-
cial assistant had been hammerins
away at the line of defense thrown
cleverly around the demurrer that
represented the hopes of the railway
corporation. and while it was evident
that his fire had at all times been we'll
directed, it was at the close that its
deadly effect was most apparent"

William Greenleaf Second
Event at University Very
Interesting

The thirteenth annual oratorical
contest Of the university is now his
tory. Before large and appreciative
audience Wednesday evening the six
contestants all delivered good ora
tions. The judges. Willis A. Joy. Supt.
r. c. Burnet, Chas. NJ. Cooley, Sidney
Clarke and c. E. Garvin awarded first
place to Richard E. Wenzel of the
Adelphi society and second prize to
William Greenleaf of the Ad Altiora
society. A. K. Reading came third.
The president of the association,
Theodore Torgeson. gave a few OPEN
ing remarks in which he showed that
oratory is still an important factor
in public life. that many of our lead
ing statesmen have reached their high
places by their ability as orators.
The first speaker was A. S. Doe Of
the Forum society. He talked on
Vanishing Glories.' The wanton
destruction of our natural resources
was the theme of his speech. Man
in his greed in looking only at the
present is forgetting the future. He
made an earnest plea that we should
make a desperate effort to stay the
mad and thoughtless waste of our re-
sources. Mr.. Doe had a calm, i'm
passioned delivery
Winning Grafton.
"The German American" was the
subject of the winning Grafton. Mr..
Wenzel has deep. musical, we'll
modulated voice. He spoke fervently
of the work of the Germans In build
ing up this country, their patriotism
in times of war and devotion in times
OF peace was described in eloquent
terms. Not that the true American
is a German. but that the German is
a true American" he said.
The A. d. T. representative, Albert
Void. took for his subject. Our
Moral Awakening" He pleaded for
a broader. more sympathetic spirit of
Pan Americanism. I'VE need another
Lincoln to show us that in mutual
and unselfshness alone
can we succeed" Mr.. Wold's delivery
was slow and distinct.
Second Place.
The Grafton swimming second place
was on The Individual i'm Industry"
Mr. Greenleaf has a clear. pleasing
voice and has an easy. natural de-
livery The day of the individual is
at hand" He showed that while we
have political democracy. we have in
dustrial autocracy. Before industrial
democracy can be secured. the COM
petitive system must give way to CO.
operation. Not by single piece of
legislation but by a slow process of
