NEED OF A

E The need of an outdoor stadium,
such as Fargo college will build
around its natural amphitheatre, was
amply proved yesterday. The vast
%coneourse Of people drawn to the hill
to witness the Shrine drills, would
have enjoyed the sight in much great,
er comfort had they found tiers of
seats instead of the grassy hillside,
= During the summer months in North
Dakota the weather is generally ideal
for outdoor affairs. There is usually
a breeze to temper even the hottest
days, and the most enjoyable of all
gatherings, Is the one that is held in
the open. .-
That the stadium will be of great
beneflt'to the entire city of Fargo was
proved yesterday. 1t will be available
for use for all big public affairs that
can be held in the open. Situated as
1t Is, tits almost a part of Island park
and the city could well afford to work
together with Fargo college in making
1T a big civic affair.
Fargo college has undertaken to
build the stadium. 1t will cost $4,000
and the plans, are now being drawn bv
Hancock Bros. While the sum reaufr-
ed is not large, the raising of 1t has
been undertaken solely by the stu
dents and they should receive every
encouragement from all public spirited
people of Fargo who are able to assist

THE NEW FARGO.

There is nothing which will unite
humanity thoroughly than a
I great disaster. A great calamity is a
great leveler and in common woe man
kind finds a common bond of syrnpa-
thy. This has been proved in all the
great disasters that have occurred i n
history and 1t was proved twenty
years g today in Fargo, when, with
the entire business portion of the city
and scores of homes in ashes. the peo-
pie Of Fargo were drawn together as
they never had been before.
The benefits which grew out of this
disaster that laid Fargo low have been
discussed and r~ediseussed in the past,
but who will say that the spirit of CO.
operation. and "get-together' which
was generated by the great fire was
not the greatest thing that was
wrought by the ruin of that day.
This spirit of harmony still prevails
today. One would go far before find
ing a community where there is less
Of wrangling, less of petty qtuarreling,
less of the spirit Of jealousy among the
business men Of the community than
there is in the gate city. There are no
pronounced "cliques' in Fargo and the
tewn is not split into factions as Is
the case so often in cities of this size.
There was another community spirit
generated by the disaster Of the fire.
That was the spirit of confidence to
overcome difficulties. The tree that
has to withstand fierce gales while It
is growing, gets rooted firm and deep,
and is able to overcome the great
storm when it ONES The youth who
has had to overcome poverty and diff
feulty, grows into a sturdy self reliant |

A FLoURIsHINa INSTITUTION,

r The Jamestown Alert pays the fol-
lowing deserved tribute to the newest
of the collegiate institutions in the
state:
| In many respects North Dakota is
proving herself a state UNIQUE among
the commonwealth of this union.
I While not veerlng too far in the ex-
pertinent of radical legislation. the
state Is maintaining a substantial
movement In the matter of devel-
oping a first class community OF cit
iaens. Beginning with the ernoy Of
the legal sale Of liquors from with
in her borders. the state has deyel-
opea rapidly along educational lines.
and it is safe to say that no common
wealth in the union, with as sparse
g settlement, presents as many edlI-
cational advantages to the children
and youth rs does North Dakota. IA
every. section Of the state the COM
mon school has found a Judgment.
and the legislatures of the state have
shoWE a greater interest in the prog
ress of the younger children, than
residents Of an eastern state would
dare to believe.
Not alone in the matter of com
Iaon schools, but in the institutions
Of higher learning does North Dalso-
ta show pre-eminence according to
her population; n not alone in state
supported schools, but in the estab-
M~shinent, the growth and the endow-
ment of schools where younger people
people are specially trained to- devel-
OPP a moral and Christian character,
does North Dakota point the way.
One saf the youngest OF these in
dependent schools Of learning is
Jamestown college. whose first grad
uating exercises were held yester-
day. For a. 4 year old institution 1T
has already established Itself firmly
Hi the educational purposes OF the
state. Its growth I'D assured, its en-

GREAT HISTORICAL PLAY.

A. great romantic melodrama of the
early days of the American revolution,
which is entitled The Midnight Ride
of Paul Revere, "a colonial drama, will

first three days Of the week Of June 8

story, and be costumed after patterns
of the time. The company has been
happily cast and a finished production

agement Of Geo. ". Halliday, the pro-
Queer. It will be the most entertain
ing drama that has yet been produced.
Another great bill will be given the
last half of the week when the great
Western melodrama will be on the
boards adapted by MI. Halliday, from
an incident in wild western life and it
will be we'll played. tt is called The
Indian and the cast has been most ac-

Mayor Gaynor's attempt to take any
Of the credit for q reform of the New
York police department is making him
a laughing stock of the whole country.
Dne Of the notorious features about
the graft investigations under the
direction Of District Attorney Whit
mar was the throwing Of obstacles in
his way by Mayor Gaynor, to the
amazement Of the general public. Re-
Gently, an aldermanic police investi-
cation committee has recommended
that Mayor Gaynor's pet, Police Com
missioner Waldo, be deposed, and this
naturally brought from the a an
other eruption. Calling the alder
manic committee into his office, Mayor
Gaynor Tuesday berated them roundly
and incidentally threw large bouquets
at himself.
While he had been "~brooding over
some Of the largest things afoot any
where in the world" he says, he had
wound time 'to work out some large
in the police department. as
the people are now beginning to see.
The nerve required to make such a.
.preposterous claim when it is a mat
ter or open record that Mayor Gaynor
held back on an investigation at every
turn n when Becker was sentenced

Davfson's Reputation of the World in
tervieW Is not In the least questioned
in saying that probably there are those
who condemn the Wilson ~administra-
ton for withdrawing its support from
the six-power Chinese loan syndicate,
But they can do 1t only on grounds Of
international politics. From the imam
fcial viewpoint 1t is preposterous to
promote loans to China at a time when
American railroads and all kinds Of
business enterprises are suffering for
want of fresh capital on reasonable
terms. An administration that should
use its official influence to promote a
liam of $l25.000,010 TO China while
some American railroads can scarcely
get a long-tsrm loan Of l25 cents
would be as lacking In patriotism as
In sense.
