an important one, this being the time

ing by the college band in honor of
that night. Immediately following
the address by Mr. Eskridge, the an
nual meeting Of the association will
be held for the election of officers to
serve during the coming year.
While many rumors have been cir
culated as to what will be done at
this meeting next Tuesday with refer
ence to the recent trouble between
President Barringer and several men,
hnr ~ ,o1f
with the retiring president OF the as
ISOLATION, Lawrence Priddy, Of New
York, 1t is possible that this matter
will not receive the attention that is
expected. There Is no doubt that the
members of the welfare committee
would like an Endorsement of their ac-
ton by the association. or by the
committee as whole, and the adher-
ents of DR.. Barringcr would gladly
pass resolution repudiating the ac-
ton of the mon who have been to the
fore In this agitation as not repre-
senting the association. An attempt
to pass either OF such resolutions
would lead to a prolonged discussion
and arouse much bitterness Of feeling
among men who have long been
friends.
The men who were here from dis
lance last year said openly that they
came for good time and to see their
friends, not to stir up strife and dis
sension. That they still hold this sem
timent is shown by letters and CONVEX
sations. Therefore the fight, IL there
is one, must be forced or arise by
accident.
Tho buildings and grounds have
been put in excellent shape by thel
regular men employed by the collegel
for such work. the program for the
week is an attractive one, and that
the usual number of visitors will bel
here is shown by the reservations
made for rooms and the incoming

of North Dakota, and his remarks
were applauded vigorously by the
crowd.
Fargo's Labor Day celebration was
almost spoiled by showers which fell
intermittedly throughout the day, but
the program was carried out between
showers. Roosevelt was on the speak
er's stand at Island Park in the city
where the principal exercises were
held when the heaviest showers came
up. Roosevelt put on a rain coat,
buttoning it up under his chin, and
pulling his hat over his eyes, left the
shelter afforded by the canvas cover
ing of the stand and went out into the
rain to make room for the women,
whose hats were being soaked.
In introducing Roosevelt, Judge Am
idon said that the people assembled
there should not forget that above all
the occasion was one for the labor
ing men who were holding their an
nual celebration.
Suggesting that the laboring men
who were holding their annual cele-
bration suffer wrongs that might be
reached by legislation, Judge Amidon,
called especial attention to the failure
of congress to enact law providing
for compensation for labOring men
when injured, or for their families in
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1910-09-06

from Roosevelt, he called out once
more:
Il have a question to ask you
! Roosevelt" -.
Men and women on the stand grew
, silent. Roosevelt turned and faced
him. Waving one arm the man theu
shouted:
II want to know who is paying the
expenses of this trip Of yours about
the country"
The question angered Roosevelt and
his face showed it. He advanced q
step toward his interragator and shot
back his answer:
Il consider that to be an impertin
ent question
He said, however, have no oh.
lection to telling you," and he added
that the expenses of the party were
being paid by a magazine Of which he
was one of the editors.
"You lie," the man shouted so loud
ly that hundreds of persons in the
crowd could hear him. AS he spoke
the words Roosevelt stepped forward
quickly and seized his arm just above
the elbow.
+ He explained later that he did not
know who the man was or what his
intentions were. His vigorous action
did not deter the man from finishing
what he had to say. He shouted out !:
Your expenses are being paid by
the peiple of the United States"
Although Roosevelt was the first to
act, others ran quickly to assist him
and even before the man had finished
his remark two men seized him and
elected him from the platform into
the excited crowd.
So far as is known here there was
no cause for alarm felt by those who
were standing close to Roosevelt but
the story of it spread quickly through
the crowd and produced considerable
of excitement.
Roosevelt managed to get to his au-
tomobile and was driven rapidly away.
nj telling of the incident later the
colonel said that he had no idea who
the stranger was.
Members of the labor organiza.
tions have come to me and told me
that they did not know him, he said.
"They said that he had come from
out of town. Effort was made to find
the man but all traces of him were
lost. Roosevelt said that he was not
at all alarmed.
Compliments Amidon.
Fargo, N. D., Sept. Sin his address
here today before Labor Day crowd,
Roosevelt spoke words of warm COM
mendation of the federal Judge who
was present, and had introduced him,
because the Judge, by what he had
said, had showed himself in sympathy
with the 1aboring men. He referred
to Judge C. F. Amidon of the District
