READY TO HELP.
IF the president desires Canadian
reciprocity, the democrats will do their
part toward giving it to him if he will
call an extra session. We will ger
around the lumber joker by placing
lumber. wood pulp and print paper on
the free list. This will take the sting
out of the joker and render it power
less"
A second weak feature OF the presi.
dents submitted reciprocal agreement
is that il places cattle and sheep upon
the free list but leaves dressed meats
of all kinds upon the dutiable list for
the benefit of the meat packers trust
The democratic party will remove the
duties from both the animals and the
dressed products, and they will make
this removal apply not only to Canada,
but to Mexico and South America and
every other country from which the
United States car obtain food supplies
al less than their present cost. The
same course viii be pursued with re-
gard 10 all the other articles affected
by the agreement. The democrats of
the house will make them free not
only if they come from Canada, but If
they come from anywhere else. They
will do this with all food products,
with timber and lumber, wood pulp
and paper. and all the products Of the
natural resources which have been so
nearly exhausted in the United STA Is.
SENATE TRYING TO DODGE.
The senate is trying TO dodge vote

corporation servers who are bent upon
retaining Lorimer in the senate evi-

have a vote postponed until the next
session of congress the public will for
get about IL. or al least lose interest
and Lorimer may be saved. The re
dictionary leaders of the senate are not
only trying to prevent a vote on the
Lorimer matter, but they are obstruct-

Mems Association Tomorrow
Might.

The regular monthly meeting OF the
Fargo Commercial club will be held
tomorrow evening and 1t is expected
that there will be a very large and
interesting session as there is business
of much Importance to come up before
this organization at this meeting.
This Is the first meeting in two
months. as the regular August meet
ing was skipped owing to the fact
that many OF the members were out
OF the city on their respective sum-
mer vacations and 1t was thought
that a longer intermission should be
taken and have full attendance at
the next meeting as there was so
much important business to come be-
fore the club.
The executive committee Of the club
has been holding meeting recently and
Ii Is probable it will have something
to report. 1t is understood this con-
Germs the selection OF secretary TOR

begin at 1880 O'Clock promptly and
everybody Is urged to be on hand at
that hour.

MORE ADVANTAGES
OFFERED in N. D.
w. o. HoDcsoN, BACK FROM ORE
CON, SAYS THAT NORTH pA-
koTA OFFERS MORE ApvANT-
AGES TO AVERAGE MAN THAN
COAST STATES.

II believe North Dakota offers more
advantages to the average man than
Oregon or the west" said w. d.
Hodgson to a Forum representative
this morning.
Mr.. Hodgson, former head of the
Hodgson Realty Co. of this city, just
returned from his new home at Ash
land, Ore. to which point he moved
from Fargo in 1910. He is back in this
city for few days to clean up his real
estate holdings here and to atRnd to
the disposal of his property between
the Pioneer Life building and the Fargo
operahouse in particular.
II do not think the opportunities out
there are as good for the average man
as they are right here In North Da-
kota." he continued. IF a man lis in
search for a more leisurely life, per-
feet climate and more social advant-
ages than he possibly has here, Oregon
is the place to go. and 1t is better
place for those features than North
Dakota.
Here, however, the improvements
are more uniform throughout the state.
noticed this particularly on my re-
turn this time. Every town seemed
improved In about the same proportion.
In Oregon 1t is Just the reverse. A
new town will spring UP suddenly,
build up more quickly than In North
Dakota, but whether it will In time
have the same durability and substan-
TALLY as these cities have, Is a ques-
ton in my mind.
"The reason / am closing out the
majority OF my Fargo interests is be-
cause I want to have everything GEN.
tered at one point, and because pre-
fer the Oregon climate to this. The
winters are not severe. That is one
reason why there Is more hustle here
during the business season--people all
have to rush for fall while In Ore
gon a man may have more leisure.
1T might DE OF interest to Fargoans
to know that ] met George Pirie in
Portland the other day. He Is think-
ing seriously Of locating there. as he
said the climate of Los Angeles did
not agree with his wife nor himself
as well as the northern coast climate
does. He is not settled In business
there yet. but probably may be In a
few months"

as had been expected from the great
interest taken in the production. VIII

as Sir Isaac Jacobson, was satisfactory

as Ulrica cotswold was most accept
able.
The production is striking contrast
from most productions in which Jew
ish characters are shown and should
have the effect Of removing great
deal of existing racial pre1udices.
