NORWAY'S RISE
TO INDEPENDENCE
Why ''Syttende Mar Is ceIejrat-
ed as Great National
Holiday.
STORY OF EARLY STRUGGLES
Country Can Now Boast Of the High.
est Degree Of Liberty Ever
Enjoyed by Any Nation
in the World.

AS far back az reliable history car
ries US the countries OF Denmark.
Norway and Sweden have been in
habited by people of Germanic stock,
with the exception OF the extreme
north. where Firms have lived a. nom
ads from time immemorial
Until about nine hundred years ago
the people OF the north spoke prac-
tically the same language. generally
known as Old Morse. Before the year
500 they were divided between a num-
Der of petty kings When King Har-
aid Haarfagre (Fairhaired) united the
various domains into one kingdom, In
S72, 1t is said that he could boast that
he had subdued 81 petty kings. Den
mark became one kingdom under the
powerful CORN the Old, about the
year 900. Almost at the same time
large parts of the present Sweden
were subdued by kings of the Ynglin-
ga family.
In modern times the people of the
North are generally called Scandina-
VANS. This appellation is derived
from the name OF the southernmost
portion OF Sweden, nov called Skane,
which is sometimes Latinized into
Scania or Scandal An English lin
guist suggested ''Scandian" for Scan
dinavian. but he has found few fol-

Attempts to Unite Countries.
For more than nine hundred years
attempts have been made time and

they can easily understand each other
and their religion is the same. The
argument has been-why not unite

Democratic prosperity forecaster told

Henry L. Higginson. Boston Sauk-
err, in a recent letter to the Boston

the millions as the result Of thu
policies OF the present administra-
ton. but prosperity for the million
aires. He declares that people OF
small means are being driven into
selling securities at far less than
their real value and that the rich
are buying up these securities. His
idea is that. instead OF inducing gen
era; prosperity. the policy Of the
Democratic government is operating
in a way to make the rich richer and
the poor poorer.

Mr.. Roosevelt. Again.

Senator Poindexter sprang no sur
prise when he told the Bull Moose
OF Indiana that Theodore Roosevelt
should again be given the presiden-
tial nomination OF the Progressive
party.
Everyone who has followed thc
news has expected that the colonel
would be given the nomination II he
wanted it. Some have entertained a
doubt as to whether he really desires
the Progressive nomination. These
think he prefers the Republican nom
nation. With the colonel still far
away, OF course. there Is none to
speak for him. And even II he were
at home, still there would be plenty
OF time In which 70 decide SO impor-
tant a question.

under one government? But 1t is a
fact that these kingdoms have never
been more completely separated from
and independent OF each other than
they are today.
For a Leriod OF 434 years Norway
was ruled by Danish monarchs res'd-
ing In Copenhagen, and many were
the Danes who predicted that in due
time the two nations would be united.
For another 81 years Norway was
ruled by Swedish kings residing in
Stockholm. But Norway, deprived of
a ruler. a national government and a
legislature of her own for 525 years,
at this moment can boast of the high
est degree of liberty ever enjoyed by
a nation.
As early as the year 1880 Norway
was in such a condition that King
Knut Tor Canute, as he Is known in
English history the Great. OF Dem
mark. sent his son, Svein, to rule over
the Norwegians as their king This
was the beginning of a series of dy-
nastic entanglements with Denmark
which have continued until today.
The present kings of Norway and
Denmark are brothers.
The last mare descendant OF King
Harald Haarfagre died in 1919. But
a princess OF that dynasty has mar
ried Duke Erik OF Sweden, and their
SOL. Magnus Ericsson. inherited the
thrones OF both Norway and Sweden
The two countries remained under
the same ruler from 1919 until 1871.
Scandinavian Countries United.
This brings US to the period when
the three Scandinavian countries were
united under one ruler. To enter into
the details OF this union would take
too much space in q newspaper arti-
Gle. Suffice it to say that King Olaf
OF Denmark inherited the throne Of
Norway in 1880, and the union OF Den
mark and Norway is generally reck.
oned from this date. although 1t was
not until 1850 that q formal agree
nent was made that the two countries
should have the same king for ever
and ever
King Olaf died In 1887. But the
union was not severed, for his mother
was Queen Margreta, by far the
strongest and ablest woman ruler who
ever lived in Scandinavia This
woman has justly been called THE
Semiramis of the North" Upon the
death Of King Olaf, at the age Of
seventeen. she managed to have her
COUSIN, Erik OF Pommern. a lad only
six years old. made king Of Den
mark, Norway and Sweden He was
crowned at Kalmar, Sweden, in 1897.
Hence the union OF the countries Of
the North is known in history as the
Kslmar union. This union has always
been an inspiration to those who
would like to see a united Scandina-
via. About twelve years ago an at.
tempt was made TO erect a monu-

GETTING Together.

All the indications point to dis
position on the part of the Progress

with which their traditional associa-
lions connect them. Out in Michigan

term, man who had been leader or

was declared, he announced himself

II is a get-together time. The fact
is that the Democrats who were elect
ed from president down. were In most
cases minority candidates. Take this
state for example, and It will be noted
that the governor was in minority
OF about thirty thousand, and each
congressman was minority victor

EIrs. American editor. -

One hundred years ago Nathan Hale
assumed the editorship OF the Boston
Daily Advertiser. the first daily news
paper in New England and for many
years the only one. Mr.. Hale was the
first American journalist to make edi-
torial articles prominent and to es-
tablish the principle Of editorial re-
sponsibiity distinct from that OF In
dividual contributors. Under his ed
itorship the Advertiser acquired wide
influence as a Wing organ. Its infiu-
ence was given in 1920 against the
Missouri bill and 1t was the FIRST jour
nal to suggest the immediate free col
onization of Kansas. Mr.. Hale was
an early advocate of railroads in New
England. and for 20 years he filed
the presidency Of the Boston &
Worcester railroad. He was the
nephew and namesake Of the cele-
brated Capt. Nathan Hale, whom the
British executed as spy during the
revolution

Two days later the king and the
members of the convention were

position they shouted.

The constitution adopted was an
admirable document. Liberal use was
made OF the constitutions OF the Unit

features had to be changed and adapt
ed to the peculiar circumstances that

Sweden and Norway at War.
Norway was visited in June OF the
same year by representatives from
the great powers of Europe, who de
manded the deposition of the new
king. No satisfactory agreements
could be reached and war was the
outcome. To speak of this war Is
almost impossible without offending
either the Swedes or the Norwegians
We shall not try to settle this con
troversy, but hurry on to the final re
suits. All parties agree on one point
namely, that the new Norwegian kine
was SO afraid OF blood splitting that
time and again he ordered a retreat
when his men were most eager for a
fight. II is also agreed that the
Swedes had about 10000 men and the
Norwegians about 10000 men In the

way. The garrison at Fredrikstad fort
capitulated before a single man hat

defended with great pluck. Karl 10

would be OF little real help to him In
subduing Norway. and so he offered
compromise to the effect that the
Norwegians could keep their consti

king and elect Karl XIII OF Sweden
in his place. King Kristian accepted
this offer and opened the gates Of
Fort Fi'edriksten TO the Swedes. The
Norwegians were dismayed and Pro

on this point Finally the Norwegian
cabinet resigned.
Every sound-mfpded Norwegian felt
that this was a most critical moment
Instinctively the leading men turned
to the storting. which Johan sverdrup.
the ablest statesman that Norway FRO
duced In the ninsteenth century, had
called the sheet anchor in the hour
OF danger" The storting held a Sc
cret session June s. 1905. during
which plans for tbs future were care
fully laid.
The next day. the historic seventh
Of June. was bright and sunny. Peo-
pie began to gather around the stort-
Ing building early in the morning.
The doors were opened at 1880
o'clock. Every seat was occupied.
Solemn silence reigned. Every word
could be heard and no words were
wasted.

President Berner occupied the chair.
Premier Christian Nicholson an

A resolution was passed to notify
King Oscar II of what had happened
and to ask him to see that a prince
OF his family be made king OF Norway.
After a few days TIRE king declared
that no prince of his family should
occupy the throne of Norway.

spirit in this dangerous drama. and

In the course of tie next few days
many other prominent Swedes in diff

Swedes to general uprising under

the ablest and noblest men known to

three hundred years we come to the
time of the Napoleonie wars, in which

and changed his name to Karl Johan.
The nominal king of Sweden. Karl
XIII, was old and feeble. and Karl
Johan soon became the real ruler OF
the country. Napoleon and he were
never very fond Of each other and in
1912 Karl Johan had a meeting with
the car OF Russia, the arch enemy
of Napoleon. At this conference,
which was held in Abo. Finland. an
agreement was made that Karl Johan.

which Denmark should be compelled

this celebration is very unique. A
number of years ago the Norwegians
In this country began to organize them
selves into what is called bygdelag. or
unions. whose members hail from the
same settlement or section of Nor
way. Every one of them is named after
the locality from which Its members
originally came. Those who came from
Valdres belong to the Valdreslag,
those who came from the vicinity of
Trondhjem are members of the Iron
derlag. And so we have such wierd
names as Sognalag, Solunglag and
Gudbrandsdalag. There are about
thirty such unions. At the exposition
grounds each leg will have its head
quarters where each member will
have the chance of his or her life to
talk with old neighbors and revive old
memories. MANY of those who come
from a distance are expected to spend
three days in the Twin Cities. Sew
