FATHER CLEARY'S
fine ADDRESS
STRONG LECTURE DELIVERED
LAST EVENING At A. c. ARMoRY
ON AMERICAN cITIzEN-GoV-
EMINENT FOUNDED ON Az.
THoRITY, LIBERTY, RELIGION.

Last evening, in the A. c. armory, be-
fore an assembly of about 500 people,
Rev. Father Cleary of Minneapolis.
Mimi, delivered the fourth number of
the citizens lecture course.
President Worst introduced the
speaker who talked on the American
Citizen. He spoke of the relation of
the foreign, as we'll as the native born
citizens to our government. He con-
trasted our government with that OF
the old Romans in saying, that the
former was built upon man and the
latter upon force.
He stated that the three essentials
of nation are authority. liberty and
religion or the government, the indi-
viduaI and the church. These essen
tials blend tremendously to form our
ideal government. He said that each
American citizen is free to do as he
pleases, providing he pleases to do
right.
He stated that every American citi-
zen may enjoy the rights of his re-
ligion and that our government is the
only one that can boast Of never hav-
ing prosecuted citizen for his views

longed to the people and not the peo-
pie to the government.
Father Cleary brought the fact that
the essentials of an ideal government
is mans obedience to intelligent laws
That mans first duty is his respect
for lawful authority and the highest
evidence of a good government is the
obedience and respect Of the individual
for law.
Father Cleary is acknowledged to be
one of the best lecturers on the Ly-
ceum platform, and the address of last
evening bore out his pre- established
reputation. He has pleasing stage
presence and forceful delivery. He
is optimistic and believes in the future
of the nation and its people. His won
derful eloquence and masterful ora
tory together with his humorous stor-
les, enabled him at all times to center
and hold the attention Of his audience

FRIDAY, APRIL 81, 1911. .
MUNICIPAL LIGHTING PLANT.

The Forum has never been an en-
thusiast over the municipal lighting
plant proposition. 1t seems to be a
useless expense. The city is now get
ting a light service that is scarcely
eaualled in the country-and it is as
reasonable as it is efficient.
Fargo hasn't a lot Of wealth to
squander in experiments. In fact it
has its hands full now in the construc-
tion of the ltration system
Under the charter of Fargo--it is
held by competent legal authority that
the city cannot sell power for COM
mercial purposes-in fact it cannot
even sell lights to private consumers.
A municipal lighting plant could,
therefore. only furnish lights for the
streets and for the city buildings.
Is there a sane man in Fargo who
would insist the city should go ahead
and construct a municipal plant just
for street lighting purposes?
The present light company furnishes
arc lights at $65 per year-cheaper
than most towns In the northwest.
The business interests and the pri-
vate consumers of Fargo would in no
way be benefited by the municipal
plant There would be no competi-
ton in either light or power rates on
electricity for private purposes.
The construction and operation Of a
municipal lighting plant would increase
the already high rate of taxation. 1t
would furnish jobs for a few people.
1t would crafty the spleen and malice
Of those who are personally opposed to
the Union Light, Heat & Power Co.
and the taxpayers Of Fargo would have
to foot the bill.
It is true that the people of Fargo
authorized the issuance of bonds for a
municipal lighting plant.
1t is equally true that this was done
under a Misrepresentation of the true
situation. Had the people known there
would be no way to sell current to
users of electric power or lights to
private consumers-the bond issue
would never have been authorized. The
favorable vote on the light bonds was
on the assumption that there would
be eompetition-and the city could sell
power and lights.
It seems to The Forum that the
mayor and the city councilmen are
safeguarding the interests of Fargo in
not frittering away the taxpayers
money on a proposition so extremely
unwise-and so entirely devoid of a
possibility OF compromising returns.
The better way for the advocates of
a municipal lighting plant would be to
have the city charter properly amended
so there would be a provision for the
city to sell power and lights-then
there would be some justification for
a municipal plant. Even under those
conditions there might be an honest
difference of opinion as to the advis-
ability Of the city establishing a plant
but there would at least be some
show for its operation at other than q
dead loss.

books, farm journals, and periodicals.
The experiment station finds out the
best things TO be grown in the state
and the best way to handle them The
farmers institute corps takes this In
formation personally to the farmer.
This work Of dissemination or carrying
the work Of the experiment station
agricultural college to the farmers Of
the state, is as important, If not more
so, than any other one phase Of work
accomplished in the state.
