Judge A A Bruce Appreciation of North Dakota Origin and Value
The North Dakotan who fails to appreciate North Dakota is ignorant or ungrateful. North Dakota spans 70 000 square miles with a population near 700 000. If Belgian density applied we would have 50 million people. The state has vast arable land and coal resources capable of rivaling national output for nearly a century. Public schools and higher education are strong, the people law abiding and self governing. We welcome immigrants from European self governing traditions and claim the poor have good opportunities here.
