Response BY seisfrisd.
The response was made by Daniel
seigfried of this city who said that
in the twenty-seven years Of it's exist
ence this was by no means the first
time the association had met in Far
go, for he believed that the greater
number OF years Fargo had enter
tanned the members.
He remembered the formation and
said that OF the twenty three who
there We're only e very few present
on this occasion. Some had moved
out OF the state, while others had been
called away never to return, bat he
hoped that all would meet them again
some time. He said that at the first
meeting articles were drawn up which
had been the means Of making this
aAS Va LAG StS6LSEt VI AAAtEdJ1DttS OE
the kind In the whole United States
and he hoped that the good work
would go on and would rebound 10 the
credit OF the members and the STATE
Itself.
He advocated the appointment OF a
good Legislative committee, for he said
that the Legislature would meet the
work to be done. he thanked the
mayer for the kindly welcome that
was extended to the association and
said that they HAD had the city turn
ed over to them last year and at the
close OF the week they had returned
1t intact.
Presidents Annual Address.
At the close OF Mr.. seigfried's re-
marks President Strehiow made bis an
nual address in which he reviewed the
work. Of the past year and said much
had been done that would in time
prove to be ~benefcfab and he hoped
that all would derive great benefit
from the meeting of this year. Last
years convention was a great meet
ing and he thought the one this year
would be equally a good If not bet
ter. He said that advancement was
made during the year and that the
organization was a beneft to every
druggist in the entire state, and that
OfAS 0AA0 Of0AJ I'LL III EAAS
should become a member of the orr
gaTisation IL he was not already one.
He said that while the legislative
committee had not had much to do
the past year., still there was likely
much to do the coming season, for the
state legislature would be IN session
and there were matters that would
come up that should receive atten-
tiens
The Permit Law.
Mr.. Strehlow advocated the employ
mett Of a resident attorney or some
one Versed in the manne OF getting
matters before the legislature and he
touched on the permit law OF the
state; and that he believed that
a good permit law was an essential.
He said he believed it was possible to
have a permit law passed that would
permit the druggist to handle alcoholic
preparations as q pharmacist should
do 1t, and vet not make a bartender
Of him. He said that in his opinion
a law should be passed that should
forbid the general stores and depart
ment houses from handling articles
that they do now which were clearly
intended to be handled and should be
handled by drug stores and drug
stores alone. He complimented DR..
Ladd for what he had done in the
way Of pure drug laws and hoped that
all would hear him in his speech OF
the afternoon. He said he was graft
fed to see so many present, and ne
paid a high compliment to the trav-
elers' auxiliary, the members OF which
were always ready to do what they
could to assist the druggists in their
convention and he spoke In highly
complimentary terms of the ladies'
auxiliary and said he hoped that more
ladies would attend each year. He
had great faith in the association and
he thanked the members for the hon
or they had conferred on him last year
in making him the head of the as
ISOLATION.
At the close of the meeting Vice
President Sigurds6n appointed the fol-
lowing committee to report recon-
