Bismarck Tribune: Residents of
North Dakota are proud of the recep-
ton given Governor Hanna and his
party in Norway, July 4. No more
fitting tribute to Norway's services in
giving his state her sons to assist in
its development could have been paid
than the presentation of the Lincoln
statue. The trip to foreign shores by
the chief executive Of this state canno
be without it's fruits. Governor Han
ma will give North Dakota some valu-
able advertising and his mission IS
bound to stimulate colonization. But
his trip has a. larger significance thar
the presentation Of a gift to Norway.
He will touch at the courts of other
nations and there bring the message
to the toiling millions of what North
Dakota offers In the way of opportuni-
ties. There the homes here on the
broad and fertile praries for thousands
of the right sort. North Dakota's re-
sources have only been scratched.
| Governor Hanna can spend a few
weeks to no better advantage than
spreading this kind Of news in the
| congested centers Of Europe.
