the MAY FESTIVAL

The May Festival given under
the auspices oi the Wahpeton-
Breckenridge Oratorio Society
Tuesday night was a big musical
success and worthy of much lar
ger patronage than it received, the
opera house being only partly ILL
ed.
The special choir, composed of
D. o. Prather. j. w. Thornton and
J. p. Murray, tenors; the Misses
Nina Bardwell. Lillian Morden ard
Lila Eckcs, sopranos: Mrs. Winni-
fred Meckstroth and the Misses
Martha Fulton and Josephine
peake. altos, and Mcsrs, N. J. \.
Johnson, A. H. Meyers and C. ID.
.Elipfell. basses, did some splend-
Id singing and the big chorus of
nearly 100 voices gave excellent
support.
The chorus rendered the can
tata, the lend Psalm, assisted by
the special choir and Miss Bard
well. The Halleluiah chorus from
the Messiah was perhaps the most
popular part of the program. and
was sung with the entire audience
standing.

Non. Woodrow Wilson

William Allen White, promi-
nent Progressive and editor of the
Emporia. (Kan.) Gazette pays the
following high tribute to our
Democratic president:
How we'll he seems to have
managed it-this whole sordid
business of going to war; how
fair he has been; how patient, how
dignifled, how infinitely gentle and
kind. No bluster, no threats, no
smoker of anticipation; no lick
ing of the nations chops-just a
simple souled, brave, soft-heart-
ed. hard-headed man. 1t is sad
enough to go into war of any
kind at any time: but it is less sad
to go knowing that every honor
able means has been taken to keep
away from war. And this consola-
tion President Wilson has given
us by his wise, forbearing chris
tian attitude before, the provoca-
'tion of a foe mad and desperate
and foolish.
The good God. who knows all
and watches over all. and sees all,
and directs all. was in our hearts
deeper than we knew when as a
nation we chose this great, Sc
rene soul to lead us.

SOCIALIST AND
ANTI-SOCIALIST
To Cross Swords In Wahpeton op-
era House, on Friday Even.
ing, May 20 at 8 O'Clock
AN INTERESTING DEBATE
Whioh Will Be open to Evervbodv
Who Comes. Without Money
and Without Price

An interesting debate is an
nounced for the Wahpeton opera
house for Friday evening. Nav %
on Socialism.
Involving as it does the COM
plete overthrow of the present ec-
onomic system and the establish
ment of the cooperative common
wealth instead. Socialism, in view
Of it's rapid growth. has come to
be regarded with increasing in
terest and already an organized
movement is on foot to stem it's
further progress. 1t is apparent
that Socialistic theories will in
future be subjected to critical an
aiysis,. but it is conceded that the
Socialists must be met by argu-
ment.
A series of debates has been ar
ranged, covering this and other
states: DR.. E. A. Cowles and
Leon Durocher are the debaters.
Both are prominent and able
speakers, and both have made a
thorough study of the subject. DR.,
CoWles will attack Socialism and
Mr.. DurOcher will defnd it. There
is every indication that Socialism
will be vigorously but intelligent
ly attacked and defended. The
debaters will touch upon Social
ism-its relation to the farm, the
home. marriage and religion
hence the debates should interest
women as we'll as men.
AS stated. Wahpeton is includ-
ed in the itinerary of these debat-
ers, and the Wahpeton debate will
be held in the Opera House on the
fusion, the hall will be promptly
closed at $3.50 o. m.
This being the evening before
Memorial Day, an excellent oppor-
tunity is afforded those who live
at distance to come to Wahpe-
ton and hear both sides of the
question. The debate will be de-
clded by vote of the audience.

TELEPHONE RATES
here AND ABROAD

In comparing costs of telephone
service under government owner
ship in Europe with American
rates, it is desirable to consider
the purchasing power of money;
Tor that. as we'll as the quality Of
the service rendered, must be con-
sldered in deciding the reasonable
ness Of rates.
According to information COM
piled by statisticians of the Bell
Telephone company. the telephone
companies in this country pay an
! average of 1923 more for labor
and materials than the govern
ment pays in England, twice That
paid in Austria, one-half more
than Germany pays and .iS more
than is paid in France.
On this basis, if we i'm America
pay s30.93 per year for telephone
service, which is the average
charged by the Bell companies,
the European countries named
ought to charge as follows: Eng
land Sl3.57 per year, Austria,
$l5.l5, Germany s3O.62 and
France $1,000.
AS a matter of fact. with limit
| - ho Gnu NoStIS lillGlIoI SER
vice, the actual prices paid the
government for service in these
countries are England S32.6O,
Austria, S2l.96. Germany S22.69
and France S2S.6i.
Thus. on the basis of the act
ual cost of labor and materials,
regardless of the admittedly in
ferior service in Europe, the tele-
phone rates in England are 40
per cent higher than i'm America,
81 per cent higher in Austria, 10
per cent higher in Germany and
81 per cent higher in Franco.
Ii considerations were made of
the relative qualities of the SER
vice and the fact that the private
companies in America pay about
Is million dollars in taxes, where
as the government systems pay
none, there would be much more
unfavorable showing for govern
ment ownership.
The only answer to these fig
ures can be that government own
ership tends to waste, extrava-
gance and the inefficiency and
consequently higher rates.
Poor service and high rates are
the reasons why there are twelve
times as many telephones for
each hundred persons in the
United States as in Europe.

MORE RESIDENCES
BADLY NEEDED
vvahpeton Losing Population ..
Cause There Are No Houses
For New Corners
HOUSES ALWAYS SCARCE
But They Are soarosr This Spring
Than Ever Before - Where
Are Our Monied Patriots?

Wahpeton is in sore straits
this spring for more houses.
There is always scarcity of res
licences here but the scarcity has
now grown into a crying. neces-
People are asking for houses ev-
cry day and there are none with
which to supply them. The result
is that many people who would
like to become citizens of Wah-
peton are compelled TO go over
into Breckenridge or elsewhere
for a house to live in.
This ought not to be.
Ii Wahpeton is ever to grow as
it ought to grow there must be
houses built for newcomers to
live in, and why do we not get
them: If rents were so low that
building flats and houses for ten
ants to live in wouldn't pay, the
reason would be plain. But rents
are not low in Wahpeton.
There are dozens of houses
rented in this city that pay ten
per cent and more on the invest
ment, after paying taxes and in
surance.
IhlS being the case, there is
absolutely no question that build
ing more tenement houses in this
city would be a better investment
than people usually make. Where
| are our monied patriots?
1t is folly to suppose that If
people really want to come to
Wahpeton to. live they will build
houses of their own here. Not one
person in hundred will build a
house of his own in the city un-
til he has lived here and becomes
acquainted. But supply them with
a rented house until they have
had time to look around and be-
come acquainted, and many of
them will buy or build houses
later.
We all want to see Wahpeton
grow. but how can it grow until
there are moreh ouses? This is
the time for men who have the
money with which to build to step
forward and do something worth
while for the city.

wAnPEron's TOW MILL

IT is reported that the owner Of
Wahpeton's town mill is figuring
on removing it to Warren, Mimi.
That should not be, permitted.
Surely there is more flax grown in
this section of North Dakota than
there is near Warren, Minn., and
if it will pay the owner to move it
and operate the mill there, it will
pay him much better to operate it
here where it is.
" This is matter the CONNER
cial Club should look after al
once.
