RUSSELL VISIT
NEXT MONDAY IS
HELD IMPORTANT
Member of Root Commits
sion Well Posted on Con-
ditions in Europe

The department of public informa-
ton at Washington having asked the
commercial club to arrange for the
address OF Charles Edward Russell
in this city at the Fargo audi
forum Monday evening, Nov. 10.
committee has been named and
plans made to give the distinguished
speaker large audience.
Mr.. Russell was twice a candidate
for governor of New York on the
Socialist ticket. He is a fervent Am
eFican and is devoting LIS time to
furthering the inter ests Of the gov
errlncnt If arousing the paople TO
sense of the fullest patriotism and
service for their country. He brings
a strong message Of how a free peo-
pie should conduct itself in the war
for freedom, his subject being
Democracy and the War.
Mr.. Russell has had peculiar OPP
portunity in his membership in the
Russian mission, sent by President
Wilson just as the revolution be-
gan.
1t was that, with his native eloqu-
ence. which made him one Of the
leaders in the American Alliance for
Labor and Democracy recently
formed.
His message now Is to all sorts and
conditions of people who have faith
in democracy.
The greatest interest is exhibited
in the Russell meeting. The Agri-
cultural College Cadet band has
volunteered to play for the occasion
and the Home Guard, the Red Cross
and the Y. M. G. A. will be represent
ed in a tableau on the stage as part
of the opening exercises.
A lady soloist will open the meet
ing by singing the Battle Hymn of
the Republic, with the audience join
ing in the chorus. The guard mem
bers will sing soldiers songs, the first
part of the program concluding with
the singing OF The Star Spangled
Banner by the soloist, the band,
guard and audience swelling the
chorus and making fitting setting
for the patriotic address of Mr.. Rus
sell.
Mr.. Russell comes here under the
auspices of the government and has
a message all should hear, so II Is
hoped the auditorium Will be hlled
from top to bottom.
Labor's Loyal Legion, Fargo Trades
and Labor Assembly and other
organizations are cooperating with
the commercial club to make the
meeting a success, all labor men in
the city being especially urged to
attend. The Trades and Labor as
sembly met last night and adopted
resolutions asking labor men to at
tend the lecture.

PAY TRIBUTE
TO PRESIDENT
CRy Associated Press.l

London. Nov. IA. - The Morning
Post yesterday pays a tribute to
President Wilson, saying I'VE wish
some of our ministers would acquire
President Wilson's knack of saying
the right thing at the right time.
The newspaper goes on to say that
President Wilson's Buffalo address,
although simple in form, was
irresistible in its effect. 1t adds that
Premier Lloyd George, who is in
Paris, in a speech made a well justi-
fed If rather a daring contrast be-
tween rhetoric and reality, might
have illustrated his point from the
utterances OF President Wilson who
has the rare gift Of touching reali-
ties in a phrase-a gift that is
peculiar to true leadership.
Referring to pacifists The Morning
Post says President Wilson has done
more to discredit their always mis-
chievous and sometimes malicious
activities, than any other influence.
HE has given out only to his own
countrymen, but to the allies" says
the newspaper, Just the right and
unfiinching lead they needed, a lead
he always renews unfailingly when 1t
is most needed. AS we said before,
President Wilson is a good man to
go tiger hunting with.
The Daily Mail, commenting on
the Presidents Buffalo speech says
it deserves a high place IN the iitera-
ture Of liberty.
There has been nothing more inn
pressive since the United States
entered the war;, said The Daily
Mail, than the attitude and demeanor
of American labor. Tie working
men and women of the United States
under the leadership of Samuel
Gompers have displayed the practical
patriotism which is the supreme test
and proof of American earnestness
and efficiency.

DENTAL BOARD APPEALS
FROM MANDAMUS WRIT

Bismarck. N. d.. Nov. 1.-THE
North Dakota board of dental exam
liners appeals to the supreme court
of the state to uphold it in denying
n. b. Livingston Of Minot a license
to practice in North Dakota on the
strength Of his having had some
years ago the privilege of practicing
in Arkansas.
Livington, after being rejected by
the state dental board. appealed to
Judge Leighton in the district court
OF Ward county. for writ OF man
damus compelling the board to issue
him a license. Judge Leighton grant
ed the writ, and the board now ap-
peals to supreme court from that
decision.
The issue seems to center about
alleged differences between Arkansas
and Flickertail molars. Livingston
