Decides Matter Unworthy of Serious

Partner Of Abner Mckinley Says Re-.

NEW YORK, March 29.-Carl Fis
cher-Hagen of this city, who was at.
torney for Walter Christmas, the rep
resentative of the Danish government
in the o%vertures for the purchase Of
the Danish West Indise in 1900, was
indignant at the conduct of his client
shown in his secret report to the Dan
ish ministry, lately published.
Ordinary legal etiQuitte," said he
would prevent my speaking. But this
report is SO defamatory and outrageous
that | feel justified in washing my
hands of the whole affair"
Mr.. Ffscher-Hansen described the
course of the Danish representative as
it appeared to him.
Christmas undertook, according to
MIR. / lscher-Hansen, to start the sale
of the islands for the Horring minis
try. AS far back as 1860 the sale had
been almost consummated, but at
the last moment this government had
drawn back. Thus Denmark could not
make overtures or do more than sug-
gest that oyertures would be accept
able. This Christmas did. He con-
Quoted Secretary White of the Ameri-
can embassy from London to Copen-
hagen. AT that point" said Mr..
Fisher-Hansen, Ibis services ended.
The negotiations from there on were
carried forward by the American
minister at Washington.
THE Horring ministry, going out of
existence in a few months, was sue
ceeded by the Sehested ministry, to
which Christmas made his secret re-
port, setting forth the alleged obliga-
tons he was under to various Ameri-
cans.
This report was evidently made"
said the lawyer, with the belief that
1t could never see the light. But its
publication has shown its absurdity.
I am quite sure Christmas never saw
the men he mentions and | believe the
report was made for the purpose of
personal gain"
Wilbur c. Brown, partner Of Abner
Mckinley, whose name was mentioned
in connection with the Christmas
charges, made public in congress, has
sen the following letter to Represent
alive Dalzell, chairman of the investi-
eating committee:
Dear Sir: The papers this morn
ing contain extracts read in congress
yesterday from insidious charges al
legged by one Walter Christmas in con
nection with the purchase of the Dan
ish West Indies.
so far as these charges relate to
Abner Mckinley and myself they are
unqualifedly, maliciously false in ev-
cry particular.
81 shall be glad to appear before
your committee at any time you may
desire. Very respectfully,
Wv. C. BROWN"
WASHINGTON, D. c., March o.
The state department will take no
steps to bring to the attention of the
Danish government the charges against
the integrity of American statesmen
preferred by Captain Christmas and
brought to the attention of the house
of representatives.

such further measures as may he
found by experience necessary to obtain
this result.
We demand and insist upon the i'm
mediate passage by Congress OF the
United States Of the oleomargarine bill
known as the new Grout bill, now
pending in the Senate.
That we favor the proposed amend
ment to the State constitution provid-
ing for the initiative and referendum.
and recommend its adoption by the
people of the state.
We declare our APPROVAL of the prin-
eiples OF the primary law enacted by
the Legislature at the session of 1901,
and We ask the Legislature to extend
this law so that in its main features
it may apply to primary elections in
all election precincts throughout the
state. And we further recommend
the election OF United States Senator
by popular vote.

opportunities little easier TO grssp
with small capital economic condi-
tions little less "set." But those
are the only differences now between
the Far East and the Far West. and
the new colonist who goes West to
grow up with the country will find it
already half grown. And his discov-
cry is to his advantage.
For the West is no longer in the ex.
pertinent stage. The people out there
know large number of things now
that they cannot do. To know this
has cost many lives and much treas
ure. And the new colouist is the ben,
ehclary of this pioneer expenditure.
For instance, they know now that
they can't raise corn in Eastern Colo
RADIO or Western Kansas and Nebraska
or the two Dakotas. But it took
hundreds of millions OF dollars to find
this out. The new settler there will
plant his alfalfa and Kaffir corn and
sorghum and grow his white-iac steer
and be wise. Also, he won't appeal to
the East for aid as the boon settlers
had to do when the drought came,
for the new crops are drought-proof.
The whole West today is on a paying
basis, And the twentieth century
homeseeker will be one Of the few
homeseekers in the worlds history
who will so into his new ready-made
home welcomed by the resident popu-
latlon, with no obstacles of language,
climatic condition or political tradi.
tion to overcome, and with nothing
to do but to hang his coat on a nail
and go to work.
1t will be worth while to observe il
these new homeseekers make as good
citizens as the pioneers who had hard
sense knocked into them by thous-
and battles with averss circumstances
But this much is certain: the new
corners will never have the fun the
old settlers had.-William Allen
White, in Saturday Evening Post.

Ready-Made Homes Out West.

The telegraphic dispatches an
nounced recently that seven thousand
homeseekers, travelling on colonists'
tickets, passed through Minneapolis
In one day. They were bound for the
Dakotas, Montana, Wyoming, Wash
ington and Oregon. The passenger
departments OF the Santa Fee and
Southern Parifc railroads recently
estimated the number Of people who
came to California this season on col
onists tickets at $4,000, an increase
OF twenty per cent over the number
last year. Traffic managers of West
ern and Southwestern railroad lines
have evidence to convince them that
during the season last past over
million Americans went homeseeking
Westward from the Eastern and Mid
die States. Every State and Terri
tory west OF the Missouri river has
received some portion of this horde.
And there is every reason to believe
that the tide OF lomeseekers is not
ebbing, and that it will continue to
inundate the West for at least a de-
cade, rising year by year in its strength.
This twentieth century hegira diff
ers from any other movement OF
American population in many inter
esting and important WAYS that are
worthy of the sociologist's considera-
ton.
In the first place these homeseekers
are not foreigners. They are men and
women of good, wholesome Middle
States American blood and tradition:
farmers, mechanics, merchants, small
capitalists and young men OF parts,
going West to grow up with the
country. They are not poor. They
have sold out their farms and bust
nesses in good times at good prices,
and have left good jobs at good wages.
1t is not a hard-times movement.
The o!d-time mover went by wagon
in most miserable estate. The mover
today goes in the tourist sleeper, takes
his meals at the lunch counter, and
buys his magazines OF the train butch
er. The old settler came to his prom
ised land with four dollars in his
pocket and pair OF mules hitched to
his wagon. The new settler comes
with pink draft and a letter to the
banker at his new home.
And herein lies the great difference
between the old colonist and the new !.
the new colonist is not pioneer. He
has neither wild lands, wild animals,
nor wild men to fight. He is going
into settled community. The land
has passed from the homesteader to
the mortgage company and back to
the farmer; the county seats have
all been located and the court houses
paid for; railroads have been built
and everything on earth for which
bonds may possibly he voted has been
put in and retained or discarded. The
scalawags who always rise when new
country settles have been combed out
before this years settler comes to his
new home, and the boomer and breed
er of wildcat schemes have been care.

West. The million colonist, who
move from East to West this year
