PREDICTS GREAT
 VICTORY IN OHIO

The campaign in Ohio has progress cd to a point where 1t seems safe to- predict sweeping Democratic vic tory. The campaign being made by Timothy s. Hogan for United States senator and by Governor Cox for re. election, has made revelation to the tax payers throughout Ohio who have not kept in close touch with the splen' did administration of Governor Cox in the past two years. The reelection of Governor Cox will prevent any backward step being taken from the high progressive ground on which he has placed the administrative branch of the Ohio government; and the election to the United States sen ate of Attorney General Hogan will give President Wilson's administra- ton another able supporter in the United States Senate.-WILLIAM J. BRYAN, in Commoner.

UNITED STATES IS
 IN SAFE HANDS

With President Wilson at the head of this nation and Secretary Bryan at his right hand, there is little danger that we shall become involved in the great war. Things are bound to hap pen as hostilities proceed which will inflame the lingo spirit in this coun- try, and those who mistake wise pa tience and love of peace for coward ice will scream for revenge for some real or fancied grievance. But the men who guide our national destinies have shown by their admirable con- duct of our Mexican relations that they are not to be influenced by the outcries of the minimizing and the exciteable.-ohio State Journal.

THEY ARE sTEADFAsT
 FRIENDS OF ALASKA

Again have President Wilson and Secretary Lane come to the rescue of Alaska. Sparring over technicali- ties and fearing less tho Pinchot sen timent might not be sufficiently con sidered, conferees and numbers of both branches of Congress were in- clined to let the Alaska coal leasing blli go over to the next session. But he administration again called some of the leaders into conference and made the fact known that 1t was ur- gently desired that a bill be agreed upon and passed NOW. As Q result there was some business" about the marble halls on capital hill yester- day. New conferees were appointed to take the place of absentees who had slipped away to look after re-elec- tion, hurry up call was issued and several hours were spent last night by the six conferees, in considering the various parts of the bill that have been objectionable. And today the announcement was made that another conference report is ready and will be presented to both houses. And it is altogether likely that the new law will be read into the statute book ere the close of the week. But without the insistence of the President, and Secretary Lane the measure would un- doubtedly have gone over. These men have upon many occasions given ample proof that they are real friends of Alaska and believe in the opening up and development of the resources of the Territory. They have strong ideas in the subject and the courage to enforce those ideas.-Cordova Al asEan.

NO. THE EMPIRE WAS RIGHT AGAIN.

THE OTHER day the Empire accused Delegate Wick 1 ersham of promising Wrangel help in the Dry
 Straits project and doing nothing.
 Delegate WckerSham introduced bill in the Ma tona House of Representatives July 30 appropriatng S2500O for preliminary survey of the ofpropoSed ln provement of Dry Strait, Wrangell in Southeast ern Alaska. The proposed improvement has been sug gested the purpose of making shorter the route for steamers the inside passage, and avoiding Wrange NarrowS The improvement proposed would be ot great value the fishing fleet carried to successful com peton.-DiSpatch.
 Certainly. Wickersham also introduced bills for addi ona appropriations for the Capitol building for the Gasnea bridge for the Fairbanks public building for additional aids navigation with reference to the Juneau waterfront and eV era of them on fisheries question: But that is as far any of the propositions have ever been advanced
 The proposals for the benefit of Alaska that have bee adopted are those which have initiated by the Democrat administration.

THE DISPATCH nmaes that the Congressional Record tells l the story of the work done at Washington for
 Alaska Yes it tells it. It shows that the Alaska rail road bill managed the House by Democratic Congress- man William C.

who are unable to attend the big expo
sition in Christiania, an appropriate
celebration will be held. A jubilee Of
even proportions is being held in Min
neapols and st. Paul.
More than 1000 Norwegians Of this
state and contiguous counties in MIN
nesota left Fargo last night over the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
for the twin cities to be on hand this
morning when the centenary celebra-
ton begins there.
The cities Of Fargo and Moorhead
are entertaining large numbers here
for the celebration that viii be con-
Quoted in these two cities tomorrow
and Monday.
The best known names in the
Storthing at Eidsvold, 1914, were
Georg Sverdrup, who spoke and work
ed for a sovereign Norway, Christian
Falsen, who is named the father of the
Norwegian constitution, Count Wedel
| Jarlsberg, protector of the country
: and founder Of the Norwegian uni
versity, Nicolai Wergeland, the patriot
and father of Henrik Wergeland and
Camilla Collett. Wilhelm Christie, who
saved the constitution. Such men de-
termined the position, Norway should
have among nations, and history can
now prove, that they had laid a good
solid foundation.
Since 1914 Norway has produced
men, who shine like stars in art and
science, but in the national history
there are two names especially repre-
senting the progressive work and the
noble development of Norwegian cui-
ture-Henrik Wergeland and Bjorn-
stjerne Bjornson.
These are also united with the poll
tical history Of the Norwegians. Both
loved America and the American con-
stitutiOn.
When Ole Bull. the famous violinist,
for the first time went to America,
Wergeland wrote a poem to sole Bull,
my son, my son." in which he praised
the American constitution and liberty,
and he asked this son Of his to play
for the negro slaves, that they might
become free.
This was in 1S43, and Wergeland is
the only European poet, who so early
was that much interested in the Unit
ed States, that he would speak for the
emancipation of the slaves.
Bjornson became Wergeland's sue
cessor. He has written more poems
about his country and people than any
other, and he is the author of the
Norwegian national song. Both fought
for liberty and justice not only for the
Norwegian, but for humanity as
a whole. Both were also hated by their
countrymen, and Bjornson's home was
once stoned.
Fargo might yet in some ways be
called Trangvik or small city, but
still it is the metropolis of the Red
river valley. 1t it the only place in
the western hemisphere where there
are monuments of Wergeland and
