Fargo Forum: Bismarck, the capital city Of the
state, entertained the editors last week in royal
style. 1t was one OF the finest meetings ever held
by the press gang" and much Of the success Of the
meet was due to the hearty cooperation Of Bismarck
and its live boosters, especially the Bismarck Press
club.
One of tie things which was impressed upon the
editors by this meeting was the growing Importance
of that city. and its. opportunities for future growth.
Bismarck is3one of the coming cities Of the northwest
and undoubtedly the time will come when 1t will be
a beehive of industry and one of the manufacturing
centers of this part of the country.
Situated in. the midst Of the Ignite coal fields,
which are rapidly becoming Of great Importance, and
on the banks of the Missouri, with ample river facil-
tiles, the city has at its doors everything to. make q
great factory town:
The Forum believes that Fargo should be just as
much interested in the growth of Bismarck and in
fact, in the growth of every other city in North Da-
k0ta as it is in its own growth. As a matter of fact,
the growth Of Fargo depends OF. the growth of the
rest Of North Dakota its cities as we'll as its rdfal
communities, and the sooner Bismarck realizes its
opportunities the better 1t will be for Fargo and the
rest OF the state.
There was q splendid feeling manifest at the meet.

Dakota editors, as a class, are big men with a big
outlook. This was proved by the spirit which perme-
ated all the deliberations Of the sessions, and every
thing connected with the meeting.
The editors of North Dakota believe in co-opera-
ton. They deplore petty fractional Or sectional jeal-
ousies, believing that this sort of a spirit is merely a
manifestation OF narrow indedness. and they went
home from the press meeting with a keener enthusi-
asnni to work for a greater and more united North

country was Of more value than all the taxes that
were paid while he was alive.
1t is not at all certain. that those unskilled work
men who are to receive IS a day for eight hours
work won't be out on strike a few months hence for
higher pay and shorter hours.
Take it from Mr. Underwood#tha the Democratic
policies are going to give the country unparalleled
prosperity-that is, unless you prefer to wait and
take 1t from something more convincing.
Just as the country was w~atchfully waiting for
the tariff to reduce the high cost Of living; and grow
ing q little impatient. the shoe men spring the an
nouncement that shoes are bound to go to SO a pair.
Mr.. BristOw seems to be a %veritable migrate. A
Bull Moose organ complains bitterly that Bristow,
who was elected as a Republican, is a Republican
yet. although some of the men who voted for him
are not.
Apparently, Huerta cares not who refuses to rec
ognizc his country or who thrashes the ~daylights out
of 1t. just so he is permitted to drink its wine and

The theory that Big Business Is trying to drive
Secretary Bryan from the cabinet would he more
