The business men, always willing to

asked to contribute to so many things
this year that they were reluctantly
obliged to turn this down. It is unfort-

rely for finances and this year he feels
as though he had given all he could

TEXAS OIL SPECULATION.

The REVIEW this week publishes an
advertisement of the Texas Standard Oil
company. From personal knowledge
of the men who are interested in this
company the writer does not hesitate in
saying that they are all honorable men.
So much money is risked and lost IN
these investment companies that people
shoulG hesitate IN going into them.
There is no doubt of the amazing oil
discoveries in the Beaumont district of
Texas and it is beyond question that
great money will be made by successful
investors. At best it is q speculation
a sort of gamble and the best that
those willing to take chances can do is
to assure themselves Of the character
and capacity of the men at the head OF
the enterprise with which they propose
to place their money. Then they may
know that if the speculation takes fav-
orable turn they will reap the benefit,
and that in event either of success or
failure the venture will be fairly made
and honestly prosecuted. The REVIEW
knows nothing of the above mentioned
company and endorses neither it nor
any other concern farther than the char
acter and business standing of the pro-
moters warrants. Such men may be
trusted with investments and depended
upon to strike oil if it IS there to be
found.

The accidental death of Adelbert Hay,
whose political advancement has fur
nished pages of sarcasm for many pa
pers, removes from life one of, if not the
youngest official of like Importance in
public life. He was about to become
private secretary to the president, whose
admiration for the young man was actu.
ated through ability rather than because
of his father as many have intimated.
At any rate the young man dies with a
clean record, worthy of notice.

Mondays Minneapolis Journal has
a communication from this place, under
large headlines, relating to the Alvin
Liesch trial. The headlines read ssFa-
nous old Contest Revived. Christians
and Turner'S of the Northwest interest
Famous Old Contest" if reference is
made to division between classes, if
such condition ever did exist in open
acknowledgement, is so dead that no
man will ever be able to touch it into
life again. One would think to, read
the heading that New Ulm people were
in deadly internecine revolt, when the
fact is, few, have any interest in the trial,
and everybody regrets that this personal
matter between MIR. A. J. Alvin and Mr..
Liesch should be represented as clash
between the citizens of New Ulm. The
truth is such an element scarcely entered
into the trial, the burden of which was
the insinuations of Mr.. Liesch regarding
the failure of Mr.. Alvin some fourteen
years ago. Tt is unfortunate that the in
terests of the city are not consulted be-
fore any such statements as appeared
in the Minneapolis Journal are permit
ted to be SO widely circulated. 1t mis-
represents and tries to make one mans
grievance the interest of whole COM
munity. We are not strong enough to
divide on any issue and we hope that
this article will in a measure correct
the implied idea Of the Minneapolis
Journal that the people of New Ulm are
not as harmonious and happy as those
of any city in this great state.

THE SCHLEY INQUIRY
Many Great Lawyers Will Take
Active Part in 1t.
of the Navy Tracy in the
Case-HAs knowledge of Bureau
Methods Feared by
Naval Men,

There is said to be big surprise in
store for the navy department when
the court of inquiry meets TO investi-
gate The charges against Schley. Sec
reiary Long and other officers at the
aavy department have been proceed
:ng on the assumption that Admiral
Sehley would not take the greatest adj
vantage of the unusual privileges aC-
corded him of having the hearings Of
the court open 10 the public, and OF be-
ing represented by such counsel as he
might choose. Both the concessions
are unusual in courts of inquiry, which
are like courts-martial, purely mill
tary tribunals. But Secretary Long
wished TO show that the department
is more than fair to Admiral Schley,
and he has provided that this court of
inquiry shall be subject to the same in
auences as a sensational civil trial.
The friends of Admiral Schley, says
the Chicago Inter Ocean, will take ad
vantage Of the privileges granted to
the admiral. and make a fight to in
1uence public opinion, and forestall
the report of the court. The admiral
will be represented by the ablest coun-
sci that can be employed. Jere Will
iOn, the noted lawyer OF Washington,
viii be one of his counsel, and it is
said that former Secretary of the
Treasury Benjamin F. Tracy, of New
York, will also appear on that side of
the case.
Gen. Tracy is one of the greatest
lawyers in the United States, and was
associated with eX-President Harrison
the Venezuelan case before the
Paris tribunal two years ago. He was
President HarrisOn's secretary of the
navy, and it is whispered that his
part in the cases viii be so to handle

voritism and petty department scan
lals
Gen. Tracy, in his four years ex-
perience as secretary of the navy, be-

came fully acquainted with all the bu-
reaucratic methods, and, like for
mer Secretary Chandler, had some
unpleasant experiences with naval
officers, who relied upon pOlit-
ical influence to continue on
shore duty" rather than take
their turns at sea. He knows all the
ins and outs of the department, and
has an intimate knowledge of the ring
rule in the bureau sf navigation, which
has been one of the most Objectionable
features of the navy department for
many years.
Admiral Crowninshield's methods in
that bureau have often been severely
censured in congress, and it was an
open secret that Dewey was sent to
the Asiatic station in 1897 TO prevent
him from having any conspicuous com
mand in the event of war with Spain,
the bureau of navigation not figuring
on a Philippine campaign.
1t was Assistant Secretary Roosevelt
who set in motion the campaign against
the Spanish fleet in the Philippines
that gave Dewey his great opportu-
nifty.
1t is intimated by Admiral Schley's
friends that Gen. Tracy will so de-
velop this old condition of bureaucrat-
ic methods of the navy department. be-
fore the court of inquiry as TO create a
sensation if not a naval scandal which
! Will compel a complete overhauling of
| the department, whatever the result
of the inquiry into Schley's insubordi-
nation. 1t is also anticipated that such
revelation will be made as TO increase
the public feeling that Schley Is the
victim of bureaucratic jealousies.
Wealthy men in New York and Bos-
ton have taken up the cause of Schley
and stand ready 10 contribute all the
| money needed for the employment of
counsel, and il is intimated that there
will be other great lawyers in the case
when it comes TO a hearing.

also. Sometimes many years elapse
between the parting and the coming
of the bird, but il never fails to re-
tnrn. The buzzard had been given up
for dead this time, and the drought
stricken farmers were even puzzled
when they heard a tinkling in the sky
and saw the grim bird soaring, but
when the bell flashed in the sunlight
they knew that the old-time visitor
had cCme again.
This NAV be the last visit of the IA
nous bird. for it is very old. Mr.. Bal
lew said that the buzz had turned
orav. II emed wear sluggish
and appa utly indiffererv when he
approached. and did rot ny until ne
had a good view of the bell, the origin
of which is unknown.
There is something sinister IN the
arrival at this time of the strange
visitor. which, perhaps. has seen the
dawning of two centuries. and people
talk about the bird at times with a
touch of superstition.

SWEDES IN AMERICA.
Established a Colony in Delaware
as Early as 1893.
Some of Their Descendants Did VAL
liant Service for the Cause OF Lib
erty Maintain Many
Churches and Journals.

As is well known, the Swedes found
ed a settlement on the Delaware in
1636, and the remembrance of this
first Swedish emigration to America
teens with interesting episodes. In
an article in the Chicago Record-Her-
aid Prof. Rasmus b. Anderson says
that the Swedish language was used
Sn Philadelphia church as late as
1923 and then continues: 1 cannot
here enter more fully into the de-
tails of this settlement, but l may be
permitted to call attention to the
fact, prOb2 bly, not generally known,
that John Morton, one of the signers
of the declaration of independence,
and an active member of the conti-
mental congress, born at Ridley, Pa,
IN 1924, was a descendant of the
SWedes on the Delaware. Robert An
dersOn, the gallant defender of Fort
Sumter, against which the first gun
of the rebellion was fired, was also
a scion of the Swedes on the Della
ware. Thomas f. Bayard, who served
our country as senator, secretary of
state and ambassador to England, re-
peatedly told me how proud he was
of the fact that he was descended on
his mothers side from these same
Swedes. And so we see that love of
freedom, patriotism, statecraft and
all that makes for good citizenship
came over to America not only in the
Mayfower, but also in the Kalmar
Nyckel and Vogel Grip. The first
Swedish settlers on the Delaware
came in the ship Kalmar Nyckel and
in the yacht Vogel Grip, in 1888, just
as the first Norwegian immigrants in
this country left Norway in 1925 in
the sloop Restoration.
Among the distinguished represen-
tatives of the, Swedish-American
group of our population I may also
mention the famous rear admiral of
the United States navy, John 4, Dahl

lion he silenced Fort Sumter and Sc
cured a safe anchorage for the Mon
itor inside the bar of Charleston, and
in this manner effectually put a stop
to the blockade running, which had
been so successfully practiced. His
name is thus linked with that of the
world-renowned John Ericsson, the
inventor of the Monitor, and our
navy is largely indebted to Dahlgren
for the great improvements in its
ordnance made since 1910. 1t is
hardly necessary to add that John
Ericsson, whose invention of the
Monitor in 1862 made the north su-
preme on the sea and shortened the
war of the Tebe liOn, was a Swedish
immigrant, born in Sweden July 81,
1903. He emigrated TO England in
1926 and 10 America in 1899. In 1929
he invented the fire engine for ex-
tinguishing fires, and in 1884 he ap-
piled the screw instead of wheels for
propelling vessels.

sions, particularly in 1871, during the
