An Open Letter

Editor Courier Democrat, Langdon, ND.
I understand that it has been rumor-
ed around town that the Opera House
has been condemned on account of the
building being in a dangerous condition.
This is not correct and gives the public
a false impression. I would say that
the building is in as good u condition
now as it has been for the last three
years in regard to the strength of its
walls. l. is in need Of some repairs on
the roof, but that is all. The visit Of
inspection made by the city council dur.
ing the week was solely for the purpose
of finding out how the Opera House had
be strengthened aud repaired some
years ago, with a view to having work
of a similar kind done on anothe,
building in town.

Langdon people had a big treat at the
school entertainment given last night at
the opera house by the pupils of the
first to sixth grades. The house was
filed to its capacity every seat on the
floor and gallery being filled and the
verdict rendered is that the program. of
dances, drills, songs and dramatic work
was by long odds the best effort that has
ever been made by school children be-
fore a Langdon audience Instead of
the usual numbers at an entertainment
of this kind composed of songs, recita-
tions and choruses the little folks
presented beautifully costumed operet-
tas gypsy dances, burlesque sketches
and a finished artistic program that
delighted all. There must have been
upwards of two hundred pupils taking
part and when the curtain went down
on the last Good Night number with
the entire aggregation grouped on the
stage for the grand finale, the enthu-
siasm of the audience knew no bounds.
A feature that greatly aided the success
of the performance was the rendition of
several selection by the Langdon band.

SOLD AS SLAVES
Youngsters Go to Highest
Bidder to Work Seventeen to
Eighteen Hours a Day.

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND, June T..
Swiss and German writer's are calling
the attention Of the public and the au-
thorities to what is practically slave
market where girls and boys between
the ages of eleven and fifteen years are
sold" in public to the highest bidders,
at F'riedrichshafen. a German town on
Lake Constance.
These children, numbering 200 or
more, are brought about this time Of
the year by their parents, who are poor
and live mostly in the Austrian Tyrol
and on the Swiss frontier Swiss and
German farmers examine the goods"
and choose the strongest and healthiest
children to work for them throughout
the summer.
The prices are arranged between the
farmers and the parents, and contract
Is signed. The farmer agrees to give
food and lodging to the boy or girl ne
engages and SIS to SO after five to six
months work, which is for seventeen to
eighteen hours day. The farmer does
not usually accept any responsibility
concerning the moral conduct of the
boy or girl who has entered" his serv-
Ice. and whom he treats az farm hand
and on the same footing as his other
employees.
This exploitation of children is per-
nitted by the German authorities at
F'riedrichshafen, probably on the
grounds that it is an ancient custom.
The town itself is en- fete during the
markets. and there are professions Of
the children, who seem happy; but
their appearance is far different after
five or six months hard work of seven
teen to eighteen hours a day on the AL
many.
