TALK ON KNIGHTHOOD
New President of the School Board
Addressed the High School This
Morning.

D. B. Holt the newly elected presi-
dent Of the Fargo board Of education,
spoke to the students of the high
school this morning.
When he was introduced to the
school he said that 1T took him back
to his own school days and recalled
a visitor to his school who had been
called upon to talk to the scholars.
This speaker had made one remark
which had particularly impressed him.
This remark was, that there were
many young men of the present age
who are OF the opinion that knight
hood has gone forever that ii has en-
titely disappeared from the face OF the
earth, and that heroism is impossible
at the present time.
7 MIR. Holt said that this idea was
entirely wrong, that there was a good
chance for heroism. and that there
we're a good many heroes in the Unit
ell States at the present time In
speaking of these he mentioned the
names of Governor Hughes of New
York, Senator LaFollette, w J. Bryan
and Theodore Roosevelt In closing he
said that the world was as large now
as II ever had been, that the y1ian of
the present time has many more men
to struggle against than the man of
old, and that If man or a boy was
not a coward he could become hero.

NoRTHWEsTERN AND lLLI-
NoIs CENTRAL DEAL


st Paul May IS--Rumors that e.
Fl. Hartman mas a substantial inter-
est in the securities OF the Chicago
Great Western railroad and that after
the road Is reorganized it probably will
be divided between the North Western
and the Illinois Central are current in
railroad circles and are said to be
based on reliable authority Receivers
Burt and Smith of the Chicago Great
Western today refused to discuss the
reports.
1t is pointed out that this arrange
ment will giTe, both of these sys-
terms an outlet to Kansas City. Mr.
Hartman has an influential interest
in the Illinois Central, and while his
name has not been prominently asso-
ciated with the North Western, he has
had considerable to say with respect
to the policy Of that road.
Such disposition of the Great west
ern would remove all anxiety as to the
possibility of 1t again becoming Sc
rfous rate disturber, which 1t has been
practically ever since its organization
1t is pointed out that the expenditure
of the proceeds of the proposed $1s,-
100000 to $20,000.o0O bonds would put
the property 81 first-class shape and
would make it's lines valuable adjuncts
both to the North Western and Illi-
nofs Central
1t is also intimated that such an
arrangement for the Great Western
would represent only one Of the half
dozen or more deals of similar char
acter and scope, which in all probable
ity will be arranged within the next
two or three years.
