ROGERS OVERSEES
ELABORATE AFFAIR
GRAND BALL or U. c. T. coNvEN-
TON AT THE MASONIC TEMPLE
TO BE GREATEST SOCIAL FuNc.
TON EVER GIVEN IN THE
STATE.

With the prediction that it VIII sur
pass any social function ever attempted
in the state, including the regular BIZ
ennial inaugural balls in the state cap
itol, the grand ball of the United Com
mercial Travellers convention, Friday
evening, VIII be held in the Masonic
temple.
Not one stone has been left unturn-
ed to make the event a brilliant ono
and the committee in charge is much
pleased with its efforts and the wav
things are shaping themselves for 4
successful affair Friday evening.
The Masonic temple will be hand
somely decorated for the occasion bv a
special decorator who has been ensa0-
ed from Minneapolis. The dancing hall
has been donated for the evening nv
the Masons who want to display their
hospitality to the travelling men ana
their many guests in some way. The
committee arranging for the AFFAIR is
greatly indebted for the use Of the
hall
Charles Rogers, chairman of the
committee, has all the details Of the
ball in charge and 1t is his intention
to make it the most pretentious event
ever given in Fargo and possibly the
most elaborate ever attempted in
North Dakota. Mr.. Rogers is making
preparations to receive 500 people on
that evening, and is arranging for a
Dig supper to serve that many.
1t had been suggested to Mr.. Rogers
that the bali be split and the Knights
OF Columbus hall will be rented for the
evening, so that there would not be
such a crush, but this was later not
considered feasible as it was thought
many of the younger element would
spend their time going back and forth
between the two temples to see what
was going on in both places.
The serving feature would have been
hard to arrange for two halls, too, and
the committee yesterday dismissed the
idea. Mr.. Rogers told a Forum man
this morning that he had secured the
services OF a splendid orchestra which
was one of the finest in the northwest.
SO that good dancing would be assured.

IN OTHER DAYS.
Editor The CHRONICLE:

Editor THE CHRONICLE:
I am a worn relic of old Benton,
and as [ received very kind letter
today from one of Benton's sons
and an old acquaintance, it sug-
gested to me that | would write an
open letter to all of my old friends
and acquaintances.
| had thought that Matt Wise
man and George Galbreath, with
many others, had passed to the
"sweet bye and bye" but IN this l
was mistaken as to the two names.
Of course they, like myself, ac-
cording to nature, can't survive
the tomb much longer. [ have
passed the 74th mile stone.
To be sure | am, and was, fail
ure in many things in my younger
DAYS, but lack of education was
the cause. | must, however, con-
gratulate myself rs being a law
abiding citizen, aud made the peo-
pie for nearly fifteen years a rea-
sonably good postmaster. l shall
also claim that | always took a de-
light in helping my fellow man,
however small the help may have
been.
Now word to the young. Don't
waste your time and sleep upon
your opportunities-as | did-but
trim the "midnight lamp" if need
be, in order to get at least Il good
English education. ...
Now who will be the next to
write me a letter as a token, if no
more, of your appreciation of an
erstwhile citizen of your county ?
With a warm, solid howdy to all,
and a thank you in advance to The
Chronicles kind and progressive
editor, l will close. My address is

NASHVILLE AERO MEET.

The Nashville Aero Club is pre-
pairing to give at the fair grounds
in that city April 27, 28 and 20 an
aviation meet that will surpass all
previous demonstrations OF aero
nautics ever made in the South.
Marvellous strides have been made
in the art of aviation. and many
feats will be successfully accom-
plished that q few months back
would not have been attempted.
The meet will bring to Nashville
a number of the worlds most ia
nous aviators, among them Glen
Ii. Curtis, the recognized king OF
aviation, both in invention and
practical operation. With him
will be j. A. d. McCurdy, Lincoln
Beachey, j. ID. Ward and others.
McCurdy has been the associate of
Curtis since the latter made his
first experiment in the building of
aeroplanes, and has probably ac-
complished more as an aviator than
any other man, with the possible
exception of Curtis and the Wright
Brothers. 1t was McCurdy who
made the first successful fight in
the first practical machine built by
the eAerial Experiment Association.
His most important work was the
recent triumph of sending wireless
messages from III airship in flight.
He will repeat this performance at
the Nashville meet.
Lincoln Beachey is another old
aviator (for very few young men
are old aviators, since the science
was in it's infancy less than three
years ago. who will perform in
Nashville. 1t was Beachey who
made the first spectacular fight in
Washington, d. c., sailing around
the dome of the capitol, Congress
having taken a recess to watch
him, and giving the national law
max kers their first object lesson in
the possibilities of air craft in
time of war.
j. A. Ward, whose flights over
the feet in Cuban waters added a
new signal to the code, keep q
sharp look out for aeroplanes," :"
will be at Nashville's meet pre-
pared to compete in the various
events. The other aviators who
will come to Nashville have not
been less successful.
The several aviators will COM
pete with one another both In
speed contests and altitude con-
tests, and it is certain that, in the
latter, the machines will ascend
more than mile, maybe two miles,
above the heads of the spectators,
as the aviators will attempt to
break the altitude record, which
is over two miles. In order to
demonstrate the rapidity at which
the planes are moving, automobiles
on the track will race with them in
a number of speed contests. An
expert marksman will demonstrate
the possibilities of sharp shooting
from areoplanes.
The State Fair grounds are be-
ing put N hrst-class shape for the
meet. Additional seats are being
installed to accommodate the large
crowds that are certain to attend.

AN ORDERLY /? MOB.
Editor THE CHRONICLE:

An Item IN newspaper telling
OF a lynching in Kentucky, stated:
"The mob was an orderly one, but
determined" An orderly mob |
Orderly in that they had a fixed
purpose, no doubt, but as to how
they could be orderly in any other
way, we failed to see.
There is absolutely no excuse
whatever for a mob to take the law
in it's own hands in America. Or
rather there should not be. The
only excuse that can be offered is
when Justice is outraged through
political influence over courts, but
If court officials fail to do their
sworn duty the people have it in
their power to elect men who will
dispense justice without fear or
favor. Another excuse is the trail
tors who are sometime clothed with
power in the shape of prison Off
oials. Is not this true?
Any man who will permit mob
to, break in the prison which is in
his charge, is worse than Benedict
Arnold, almost as bad as Judas
Iscariot. For what is next to our
religion if it is not our liberties
In fact they are identical. In too
many cases it is not because of the
weakness of the officer or because
of his lack of courage, but because
of his sympathy with the mob.
The item says the mob was "de-
termined." It would take just
about fifteen minutes of determi H.
cd action on the part Of an officer
who wanted to prevent lynching
10 put the "kibosh" on a bunch of
would-be hangmen. Once in a long
long while, maybe, it might get
more serious, but such cases would
be SO rare as to be hardly thought
Of in doing ones duty.
We remember of hearing man
tell of mob of several thousand
men attacking a Jail, when the
sheriff simply turned the fire hose
on, them and it so cooled them of
tllat they went home and behaved
themselves. And they were "de-
termined," too.
Another time two hundred men
attacked a Jail in Kentucky when
the sheriff armed the three prison
ars with guns that would shoot
and then they stuck them out the
second story windows, telling the
mob that the first man to pass a
certain mark would be killed.
Down in Florida, e few years
ago, a mob of another character
attacked a Jail and the sheriff found
it necessary to kill number OF
them and seriously wound as many
more as he could, including several
of his best friends, but he whipped
the mob. Result, he was reelected
by the largest majority ever given
an officer in that county.
Of course it sometimes takes q
little "sand" to keep a mob off, but
an officer who is lacking in this is
not fit for the Office, no matter what
his qualifications may be. Moi
rule in some sections of our coun.
try has caused the world to point
the finger of scorn at u.s. For We
are the only country that is so lax
in law enforcement as to permit
the mobbing of prisoners.

University Enrolment Heavy.

Norman Okla. Sept 27-Contrary
to the expectations of even its most
sanguine supporters the enrolment for
the fall term at the University of Ok
lahoma Is heavier than ever before and
indications are that registration rec
ords of the school will be broken by a
wide margin when the names Of all
students have finally been recorded.
The objection of the preparatory de-
partment meant loss of $50 to 200
students 1t had been generally sup
posed that the crop failure over the
state would be telling blow to the
attendance at the university this fall
since the majority of the student body
is drawn from the agricultural class.
The recent state board of education,
with its alleged unsavory details and
sensational testimony, was also ex-
of the university in common with that
of the other state institutions Of higher
education. Despite these drawbacks
the students are pouring into Norman
by the hundreds. While many of the
old ones are absent, the campus is
crowded with new faces and the fresh
man classes, both in the colleges and
the departmental schools, will be far
larger than those of previous years At
the close of the third day of enroll
ment SIT students had registered This
lis substantial increase over the reg
|istration at the same time last year
The total registration for the fall term
in 1910 was 737 and that for the en-
tire year, summer school included and
Irepetitions not counted, 1908. This
year it is expected that the fall enroll
ment will total over 500 and that for
the entire year it will pass the 1900
mark.
