Fort Ethan Allen means that part of
the disreputable resorts in the vicinity

cleaned up; and it is q wonder that
this cooperation has been so backward.
The tragedies which have taken place in
and about the fort during recent years
were reason enough for making efforts
to wipe out the dives which have thrived
there with little hindrance except for
occasional raids for contraband liquor;
and other conditions have existed which
must have stirred the law abiding PEG
pie who were cognizant of the situation
into a feeling of disgust.
In fact, the state of affairs has been
so bad that the return of the army can

Judge of the workings of that institu-
tion by the opinion of United States
army officers who recently appeared be
fore a congressional committee to give
their testimony. The consensus of that
opinion was that the army oanteen with
its purer liquors and lack of disease
breeding adjuncts was far more to be
desired than the dives which center about
every United States army post. These

First Lecture OF
Splendid Citizens
Course, Wednesday
Ihos. Brooks Fletcher, One of the Most Notet Speakers on
American Platform Will Open What Promises
to Be Highest Glass Course Yet Offered

1t is the common consent of the
critics Of the Lyceum platform that no
man Of recent years a achieved
more brilliant success or met with
higher favor in the estimation of
lecture curse patrons than has
Thomas Brooks Fletcher, who comes
to Fargo next Wednesday night to
open the Citizens lecture course for
this season. ".. .
AT first it was feared by some that
Mr.. F~letcher's success was almost too
great-that he would be like a bril-
liant meteor to illumine the Lyceum
world but for a time; that he would
not last. But such fears have been
transformed into wonder and admira-
ton as they have seen this accom-
pllshed young orator with ~steadfast
and 1ndomitable purpose equal to the
mighty task of proving himself one of
the most brilliant and brainy men Of
the great Lyceum profession.
In thought Mr.. Fletcher Is pro-
found, keen and convincing. In de-
livery he is powerful, fascinating and
dramatic. In personality he is cordial,
refreshing and original, -.
Mr.. Fletcher is eminently fitted by
nature for his chosen profession. He.
has the personal gift of the great
otoIOl. "ALu heelL uldCk eyes, Win a
p~rofusion- Of jet-black hair, with the
face Of an Edwin Booth, and with a
powerful and magnetic voice he holds
his audiences as no other orator has
been able to do since the days of
Beecher, Phillips and Grady.
Lecture course audiences like Mr..
Fletcher because he keeps them alive,
alert and awake. Lecture course
committees like him because Of his
sincere n cordial personality and
they never forget him.
Mr.. Fletcher's lectures lea with
live topics and are filled with apt and
forcible illustrations which drive home
to the minds of his hearers great
truths in a sometimes startling, but
always vivid and effective manner. He

In speaking of Mr.. Fletcher The

One of the most brilliant lecturers
on the American platform. He is
filed to the brim with physical and

upon introduction and plunges eagerly,
almost furiously, into his subject. His
personality is magnetic. He is mas
ter of every phase of dramatic art.
A graceful deIsartean one moment. a
thIrderbolt hurting giant, the next;
he combines lmpassioned oratory with
the calm reasoning of a judge. He is
a master in the use of language,
whether it be biting sarcasm, scathing
condemnation, tender pleading, or
strong exhortation. And all this

is combined for one purpose - to
~startle, to awaken, and then to burn
into the SOU of his hearers, moral
convictions, in matters political, social,

cynic or one who never allows his
feelings any liberty, can listen to
Thomas Brooks Fletcher without hav-
ing a burning desire to go out and an
initiate some brute of injustice and to
stand erect on both feet with should
ers squared for every phase of civic
righteousness. His straight from the
shoulder style of dealing with modern
conditions, his honest sincerity, his
powerful convictions, his contempt
for any attempt to sugar-coat in
justice, wins for him an admiration.

his cause is just" - ."
