STATE CONN ERcIAL CLUBS.

"A meeting Of the North Dakota Fed
citation of Commercial clubs will be
held at Grand Forks Wednesday and
Thursday of this week. There will be
addresses by a number of prominent
men. o. NJ, Thurber of Fargo will
discuss fire prevention methods. Pro-
fsssor Cooper will talk on his plans
for improving farming conditions in
North Dakota. Secretary Campbell of
the Northwestern Development league
will, be another speaker.
While the object of commercial bod
les is primarily to work for each in
dividual town-there is no reason why
a state association cannot accomplish
a great deal for the state. BY coop
erati>n and by the adoption Of similar
m~ethods-many benefits can be Sc
cured.
Fargo should have a large delegation
at the Grand Forks meeting.
The city will be well represented to-
night at a meeting at Grand Forks
along somewhat similar lines. Tonight
there is a g~et-together feed of repre-
sentatives of Fargo and Grand Forks
clubs.
incidentally the Ratchet Of jealousy
n senseless rivalry is to be buried
so deepiy-it will never be resurrect-
ed.

SUNDAY OR AUDITORIUM.

am opposed to Billy Sunday com
ing to Fargo. for it will be a set back
for the auditorium movement. be-
lieve we need an auditorium right now
worse than Billy Sunday"
The foregoing statement was made
to The Forum by a man who is in
business here. is an officer of one of
the protestant churches and is uni
versally regarded as a good citizen.
The position taken by this man was
that a fund had been subscribed for
the erection of a temporary structure
in which the Billy Sunday meetings
car be held. He stated the commercial
club had agreed to put in a certain
sum-provided the building be left in
tact for the use of the members of the
Norwegian Sangerfest in July.
1T was insisted that the expenditure
Of such a large sum would result in
only temporary benefit. without per-
manency-that having subscribed for
this ~purpose-the citizens would be
slew to respond to the requests of the
solicitors for the auditorium fund.
There is some truth to the conten-
ton Of the gentleman quoted. while
the conversion Of a large number OF
people Of this city--if genuine, is
greatly to be desired-there are a lot
Of very good christian people of the
city Who have a ~hankering for an au-
ditorium.
II the people are determined. how
ever. to have Billy sunday-The Fo-
rum hopes his coming will not head of
the auditorium plan.
Just now Fargo has no greater civic
necessity than an auditorium. There
can be no argument against the prop
osition. The importance of it was
demonstrated last week when thu

STEEL CAR AGAIN TESTED.

Another test of steel cars in the
Warriors Ridge accident on the Penn
sylvania railway showed how great a
protection the metal cars are to the
lives Of passengers.
Nine of the eleven cars on the train
rolled over a high embankment. TN
der conditions-which would doubtless
have resulted in many deaths had the
cars been wood-only three persons
were killed.
Furthermore, the fire and subse-
quent suffering in wrecks where wood
en- cars are demolished were lacking.
The day of the steel car is here, and
public safety demands it's general use.

THE STATE.

In connection with the admission Of
Arizona to statehood, The st. Louis
Globe-Democrat had the following edi-
torial:
Because it was admitted on Feb. IA,
Arizona is to bear the name of the
valentine state. It's officials sought to
have its entrance take place on Feb.
II, so as to have it coincide with the
Lincoln birthday anniversary, but it
seems to have been impracticable for
the president to sign the proclamation
on that day, and the matter went over
to Feb. IA. While as a nickname the
Lincoln state would have been prefer
able to it's present designation, the
latter will be acceptable. The fact of
admission is the large consideration,
and this comes after many years of
endeavor on the part of its leading
citizens.
Arizona has one distinction which
viii be likely to cling to it. It is the
last of the states in the continental
contiguous section of the country.
The whole region from the Gulf of
Mexico and the Mexican republic up
to the Dominion of Canada is now
organized into self-governing units.
The roll Of states comprises forty
eight names, and none is likely to be
added to the list until the twentieth
century is well along in years, TN
der the terms in which it was adj
mitted in 1S45 Texas is permitted to
divide itself into four other states,
but as the permission of its own peo-
pie as we'll as the permission of con
gress will have to be obtained before
any division Of any sort can take
place, nobody now alive is likely to
see the dimensions of that big com
monwealth curtailed. Its people be-
lieve that some day it will be the
empire state in the number of its in
habitants, and perhaps that hope is
justified.
Where viii the forty ninth and the
fiftieth states come from? Perhaps
from Alaska and Porto Rico. Alaska
has much more than double the area OF
Texas. It would make twelve states
Of the dimensions of New York. But
Alaska's population is small, being
only $4,000. Some wards in New
York city have more people than are
in the entire province of Alaska,
Moreover. its gain is slow. But this
viii improve as the facilities for
bridging its magnificent distances in
crease. Some day Alaska viii proba-
bly, furnish several states. but neces-
sarily that day Is q long way in this
future. Porto Rico is a candidate fol
statehood, but q full territorial gov
eminent, with complete American citi.
zenship for its people will cpne first
Possibly Hawaii will enter statehood
some time. For many decades, how
ever, Arizona will hold the honor ol
being the youngest entrant into the
circle Of the commemorative.
