Grand Forks, N. D., Sept 25.-The
question for high school debates the
coming winter has been announced by
the extension department OF the uni
versity and is as follows:
Resolved. That North Dakota Should
Adopt Plan of Worlkingman's Insur-
ance Similar to the Wisconsin Plan.
This is a timely question, also one that
is receiving the serious consideration
OF many Of the best lawyers in the
country. From the great amount of
material on the subject the library
commission is making selection Of ar
ticles which shall be pertinent and
which can be obtained in quantities
sufficient for circulation as there win
undoubtedly be a great demand for
clear statements or arguments on both
sides Of the question.

Devils Lake, N. D.. Sept. z5.-"I don't
know where I'm going but Pm on my

by Rev. W. M Smith, the colored di-

route and with the assistance of a con-
tribution raised here was sent to Minot
this morning where he claims to have
relatives.
Smith is a decidedly unique charac-
ter. With laugh that means money,
an imagination that he probably inher-
tied and disposition that never grows
ugly, he has travelled over the entire
country on less capital than any pre-
vious globe trotter. After few days
in each city he usually finds the police
department anxious and willing to raise
the necessary funds to send him furth-
er on his journey.

EXPOSITION TO
BE ELABORATE

Unless man sees the preparations
that are being made for the state in
dustrial exposition at Bismarck for
himself" said w. J. CIapp to Forum
representative this morning. ''he has
little realization of the immensely Of
the project.
II just came back from Bismarck
Saturday and visited the exposition
building while there. It was all deco
rated in fine condition and the work
that is being done to transf1gure that
old hostelry into a modernly equipped
exposition building is amazing.
There are thirty five counties In
the state that are TO have exhibits
aside from the large number Of indi-
vidual displays. Then the city itself
is being handsomely decorated with
buntingeand plenty Of it so that it pre-
sents a handsome appearance to the
stranger alighting from the train. The
decorations are being draped by some
one who came there especially for the
job so that all the business houses will
be done with uniformity"

.DRYS Won OUT in
Fight IN MAINE

The prohibition cause won In Maine.
There has been d great deal OF un-
certain and contradictory information
regarding the late liquor fight in
Maine. Judge Pollock of Fargo this
morning received a letter from Rev.
Wilbur F. Berry. the superintendent Of
the Christian Civic League OF Maine,
d man In full touch with the situa-
ton there and fully qualified as an
authority on the election.
The letter is as follows:
Waterville. Me-. Sept. 21.--Judge
Charles A. Pollock. Fargo. N. D.--My
dear Judge Pollock: The battle in
Maine is over and victory has been
won by the NO side. When the re-
turns are corrected, constitutional pro-
hfbition viii be retained in Maine by a
majority of 700 at least. Certain err
rors crept into the returns which have
occasioned q good deal OF unrest and
uneasiness throughout the state and
the nation. Clerks of certain towns re-
versed in their off1cial report the vote
given, giving No vote for Yes and the
Yes vote for No. While the count was
properly made on the day Of election
ana the records properly recorded, the
clerk in sending in the official record
to the governor and council and the
secretary Of state, gave the Yes for the
No and the No for the Yes. This was
done in four towns.
II is unfortunate that so large q
number OF our rural voters remained
at home on election day. At least
49, 900 Of our voters who voted in
September, 1910. refrained from vot-
ing this September and at least 1900
Of this number were In the rural Sec
tions of our state. Had they come to
the polls, doubtless the majority for
constitutional prohibition would have
been from 10000 to 10000
AS it is, we have won a decided VIC
tory for everything that could be done
by the liquor forces was done an dthey
mustered the largest possible number
for their side. Very truly yours.

CRANE STATEMENT

In his opening address to the student
body at the agricultural college this
morning, Pres. j. H. Worst declared
the general character OF college stu

ments of DR.. Crane, who said the
drinking habit in student life was
growing to an alarming extent In all
American colleges.
President Worst stated that the gem
eral life of the students showed what
they were individually and that he
did not believe the statements of DIR.
Crane were true. He said that 1t was
up to the students in general to dis
prove this impression that had gone
out and he hoped that they would
all live SO that he would not be dis
appointed in his estimate OF them.
