Wrangling Over Sugar Trust

Washington, May 17.-Senator
Stone Of Missouri announced today to
the senate finance committee at the
hearing on reciprocity and the free
list bill that he would soon press for
a vote on reciprocity. He said he did
not propose to let the hearings drag
along indefinitely. An unsuccessful
attempt was made by the committee
to fix a time to close the dual hear
ings.. Senator Penrose, chairman OF
the committee, expressed the belief
that the reciprocity bill hearing
would end soon. /
The reciprocity agreement was char
actertzed as "cowardly abandon
ment of grave duty" in a speech
delivered in the senate by Senator
Coe l. Crawford of South Dakota,
Mr.. Crawford spoke for several hours
in opposition to the agreement. He
charged that not only would 1t fail
to promote the general welfare but
that it would do irreparable harm to
agriculture. Indeed, he declared, it
was discrimination against the
farmer in favor of the trusts and Of
Canada. He found it in special eff
forts In favor of the newspapers. The
presidents contention that it would
reduce the cost Of living he would not
accept. @
The debate in the house on the
joint statehood resolution to admit
Arizona and New Mexico continued
today with the prospect that the dis
cussion probably would not be de-
terminated before tomorrow night.
Before the debate began. however,
there was considerable informal dis
cussion on the Democratic side over
the action Of the rules copmitte n,
moving the adoption Of the sueai;
trust resolution OF inquiry and nom !
mating q special committee. The
house adjourned yesterday while the
Democrats were fighting on this ques-,.
ton, many demanding a caucus to
select committee. Chairman Henry
OF the rules committee was ready to- !!
day to take up the question with the
possible modification Of the plan Of
choosing the committee.
The democratic members of the
ways and means committee resumed ,
the consideration of the wool sched- |
ule of the tariff bill. At the meeting !
Monday one member referred to the .
deliberations as the "study class in !;

lists Of figures bearing on the Inn

This verse however, Is written in
Norwegian. and cannot very we'll be
translated without losing its effect.
It expresses the sentiment that as
many as possible will return to Nor
way during the great year of celebra-
'tion In 1914 In order to visit the old
places, the old mountains and scenes
where all have 80 many fond memo
ries.
I'VE, have just heard the song
which expresses the strongest senti-
ment for the love, which all Norwe-
gians have for Norway, sung so splen-
'didly by the Bjarne chorus. l will
kindly request all present to repeat
the first verse Of Yes We Love This
Country No song has such mean
ing. to, us as this excellent song by
Bjornestjerne Bjornson and l am
glad that we have a song which once
In a while gives our feelings an op-
-portunity to make the hearts beat
In the same tempo. This brings hap
piness and the courage, which brings
the feeling Of consciousness. Life,
the struggle Of existence, for the
daily bread, Is so hard that we, once
in while, need to cut loose from
the daily sorrows and make room for
our feelings. This strengthens us for
the labor which awaits us and this
day all Of you who are either born
In. Norway or Of Norwegian descent
have come here, drawn by a longing
for the country from where you have
your origin and where your fore
fathers have fought and struggled.
II have now touched point which
I cannot refrain from going into a
little closed. It is the position of
the immigrant towards the old coun-
try on the one side and the new coun-
try on the other side. Affection for
the old country and your love and
ifaithfulness to the new country can
easily be combined. There is no
breach Of faithfulness towards the
old country to immigrate, provided,
Of course, we do not leave on account
of hatred and bitterness towards the
afatherland. and luckily there are very
few who do that. No, when we immi-

Norway's interest in the emigrant

over all who have left the fatherland
and over their descendants and is not
severed when, they leave the old
shores. Norway takes a pride in
what tho people who have emigrated
to America have accomplished and
she holds a deep interest in their sue
cesses. Such, in brief, was the mes
sage that was brought to- the, Nor
wegians assembled in Grand. Forks
today, q message not intended for
them alone, but for every, person Of
Norwegian blood now making his
home in these United States.
Probably no visitor who has ever
come to Grand Forks has received q
welcome that has been so thorough
" genuine as that extended to Minis
ter Bryn. Since his arrival In the
city last evening and during the day
he has had the opportunity of meet
ing many Of the city's and states
leading Norwegians, as we'll as many
others and on every hand the pleas

London, May 1.-THE fight In the
house Of commons over the veto bill.
to curtail the powers Of the house Of
lords has ended. ~. s:.sst5s I y.
An amendment to reject the whole
bill was defeated 1853 to 243, and the
mesaure was carried on Its third
reading S62 to 241. VI.
The announcement Of the figures
was received with q tremendous out
burst Of applause, and several Of the
ministers called out to the opposition:
..Now toe the line, and take It like
men,"
It is expected the bill will 60 to the
house Of lords at an early date.
The debate In the house OF lords
on the second reading Of Lord Lans-
downe's bill for the reconstruction OF
the upper chamber, indicated that the
leaders orders will fail to coerce
many Of the Unionist peers into vot-
ing for a measure involving their own
political extinction.
Baron Willoughby de Broke de-
clared that the house as now consu-
tuted was the best :.he country could
get and, IL he we're going to perish,
he would prefer his quietus at the
hands OF the electors rather than at
the hands Of their lordships.
The speeches supporting the Dill
lacked enthusiasm. /.
Lord Morley Of Blackburn insisted
that the passage Of the veto bill must
precede any settlement OK compro-

In Norway were, years ago, ratner
narrow. Our means of subsistence
has been difficult to develop in a
hurry on account Of natural condi-
tions, but the number of children
have always been large in Norwegian
homes and then we immigrate. Thus
1t was from the times of old. A thou
sand years ego the Norwegians. led
by Gangor Rolf. founded whole
kingdom in France. 1t was in that
part of France which is now called
Normandy. During my several years
sojourn in France, have met with
many Frenchmen who have told me
that their families descended from
Norwegian Vikings, who conquered
Normandy and they were very proud
of this origin. The Inhabitants of
Normandy province celebrate this
year the centennial of the creation OF
Normandy as separate country and
have invited great many represen-
tatives from Norway and Norwegians
here in the United States to meet
them. The storting sends its presi-
dent and the Sons of Norway sends
representative from this country.
Not alone in France but also in
England have the Norwegians. in
former days. left deep traces by the
immigrants. Similar conditions will
be repeated here in this country; al
so In the history of the American
people will the Norwegians have an
important and am sure honorable
part. From the first days l came to
this country have not heard any,
thing but good about the Norwegians
here Their diligence, endurance and
honesty is always pointed to by the
Americans and here we are now COM
ing to what / really wish to say.
Most of you are separated from the
country where your ancestors cradle
rocked, but you have taken with you
as an Inheritance the peculiarities of
the nation, such as tough endurance,
honesty and desire to go forward in
temperance and good health. The
Norwegian nation has in Europe been
able to secure for themselves posi-
tion, which is excelled by no other
small nation. The peculiarities in
our nation, which has made this pos
sible, is also in your possession, and
1t is important that you retain and
exercise these, so as to make them
bring good results. These character
istics have been tried, SO be proud of
your nation and it origin. This love
towards Norway and that for which
is Norwegian does not interfere with
the loyalties you have for your new
country. The people in this country,
who are of English decent, are proud
Of 1t and never try to hide it. In
hundreds Of years they remember
their ancestors origin in loving
thankfulness; also their SUCCESSORS
in the future will remember with
fondness and proudness their coun-
try from where their ancestors came.
Just as undisputable as it is, that,
for those, that immigrate to new
country 1t is important that they as
quick as possible get accustomed to
this country and adopt its language
and to learn and value its ways and
means and :. institutions; in other
words. to become good citizens, just
as sure 1t is, that the creation of
with the old country,
the spiritual and commercial as we'll
as family ties will only be to our
best interest for the better main
tenance of your good national char
acteristic and through this, help you

In the pseudo governors message

This recommendation will have espe-
