Big Banquet Given at Hotel
Observation-Disclosures
not "Hyphenated."

The S3rd anniversary of the birth
of Bjornstjerne Bjornson, one of Nor
ways greatest men, was commemorate
ed last night by Norwegians Of this
city. The Norwegian club and the
Normands-Forbunde No. of this
city gave a banquet at the Hotel Da-
cotah, and 1872 attended. Following the
spread an interesting program of
toasts were given.
Samuel Torgerson, Of the Scandi-
navian-American bank, gave one of
the most interesting addresses Of the
evening. He scored the hyphenated
Americans, those who use their posi-
ton in this country to enhance the
power of their native land.
But Scandinavians are not hyph-
enated Americans" he said. 1.-The man
this country is for America first, last
and all the time.
Lars ]. Siljen, editor of The Nor
manden and the prime mover in the
Biornson celebration, suggested that
the Normands-Forb of this city
purchase the old Bjornson estate and
present it to Norway as a national
park. The suggestion was enthusiastic
ally received and it is expected that
definite steps soon will be taken.
The committee in charge of the

Lars ]. Siljen. l. A. Berg o. T. Mathi-
sen and O. L. Melby.
G. I. Gullickson was toastmaster. He

ARE GIVEN PRAISE
Senator Hans Urdahl, of
South Dakota, Making
Name For Self.

An interesting news item in the
Madison Daily Leader published at
Madison, s. D.. calls attention to the
success of Senator Hans Urdahl, a
member of the South Dakota state
legislature. Senator Urdahl was for
merly resident of Grand Forks and
graduated from the university in 1895.
After leaving the University Of North
Dakota, Mr.. Urdahl received a law
degree and took up his residence in
South Dakota. The item is printed be-
low in part: i.
At the reception tendeSed the state
board of regents of education and
Lake county legislators by the faculty
and students of the Madison state
normal school Tuesday evening, Prof.
j. w. Goff, who introduced the speak
ers, paid the following tribute to Sen
ator Urdahl
-"I have watched him, the whole
state has watched his work. a work
singularly unselfish conscientious, sin
cere. His keen analytical mind reads
men and measures with almost startl-
ing accuracy and insight; the most
adroit and subterraneous self seeker
was able to get nothing past him.
1T may we'll come true-fate is
ever taking the measure Of men
that the little city resting among the
coteaus by the Missouri shall be called
upon to yield up our many talented
servant to a larger work. field as

REJOICE. N YOUR
YOUTH; AM|D0N
Federal Judge Tells Varsity
Students They Have
Great Heritage.

Charles F. Amidon of Fargo, judge
Of the federal court of North Dakota.
who is holding a term of court in this
department of the state university this
afternoon.
Judge Amidon told the law students
to congratulate themselves upon their
youth. He said: "Rejoice in your
youth, and trust the visions of your
youth against the wisdom of the an
| clients, living as well as dead"
Were it not for YOUTH said Judge
Amidon, life would stagnate, strait
~ and die. Through youth life gets
itself renewed" 40.
Continuing, Judge Amidon said: {:
Keep your minds hospitable towards
new truth and take your part in help
ing new truth to get itself established.
That Is the true Office Of the univer-
sity and youth"
Judge Amidon inquired of the law
students how much time theye gave
the problem of entering the legal pro-
fession before they began their
studies. The speaker said. said:
This is a momentous question and
should be given great deal of care
ful meditative thought. If you have
not taken a personal inventory of
your own powers, you had better do
1t now. for your success in life de-
pends on what your faculties call you
for, and If you do not find happiness
IN your life work you will not find
happiness in life ITSELF"
The legal profession is overcrowd-
ed,' said Judge Amidon, land the
lower one-third Of it is as much sub
merged as anything you can find in
the city of London. This lower one
third is driven by an economic pres
sure to doing things that no man can
90 and keep his soul. For 20 years l
have been looking for man that is
wanting justice and I have not found
him: both the client and the litigant
want to Win.''
Judge Amidon spoke briefly against
the belligerent lawyere and urged the
students to go out into the practice
of the profession with the purpose
Of being peace makers and of seeking
justice.
In conclusion, Judge Amidon said:
If you are going out in the world to
sell your talents, to fight, and to help
people fight, you may find some slight
pleasure in it. Go back into some
quiet place and take an inventory of
yourself and see if you have chosen
the legal profession and if you have,
say that you will prepare yourselves
for it with all the power you COM
mand, seriously and unflinchingly.
Be real friends of society and remem-
Der you cannot do anything as
lawyer for another which you could
not do as q man for yourself Tie
state in your generation is going to be
q larger factor in your life than in
mine. Consecrate your talents to the
highest possible human service and
then perhaps gain the benediction
that comes to those who have earned
some Of the beatitudes Of life"

YES-lT IS POSSIBLE

Rheumatism is tormenting and

WITHDRAWAL Of
LAW ATTACKED
Safety Clause not Applicable
Unless Law Becomes Eff
fective Says Helbig.

Denver, Col, Dec "a brief, at
tacking the withdrawal of the pro-
hibition penalty law from operation
Of the referendum, was filed with the
supreme court yesterday by John w.
Helbig, attorney for opponents Of pro-
hibition.
John E. Ramer, secretary of state,
refused to accept the referendum Pc
tition on the ground that the legisla-
ture attached the safety clause" a
proviso declaring the law necessary
for the Immediate preservation Of
the health, peace and safety" of the
commonwealth. Under rulings Of the
Colorado supreme court this would
prevent the referendum.
Clause Not Applicable.
safety clause is not applicable un-
less the law is to become effective i'm
mediately. He contends the prohibi-
ton penalty measure did not become
operative at once as it was enacted
by the legislature in February and
signed by the governor in March,
1915, and does not become effective
until January 1, 1915. He further
sets up that barring such measures
from operation of the referendum is
contrary to constitutional and statu-
tory practice in twenty states having
the referendum outside of Colorado.
The prohibition penalty law, he al
so argues. is unconstitutional because
it legalizes private, personal use Of
intoxicants, although the constitution
| al prohibition amendment provides
that Intoxicating liquors may be used
only for medicinal and sacramental
purposes after January 1, 1915. He
argues this law attempts to legalize
interstate shipments Of liquor into
Colorado for personal use and there
by prevents action in the United
States courts to stop tsuch shipments
into dry territory under tho federal
statutes
