FRISCO

Washington, Dec, 13.-Thera Is a
possibility that San Francisco may get
the republican national convention
over ST. Louis, or Chicago. Chicago
is not favored because of the 1912
split there. . 4tr.
Most of the members Of the republi-
can national committee have reached
Washington for their meeting Tues
day to decide upon the time and place
for holding the 1916 convention of
the republican party.
Five cities want the convention,
Philadelphia, Chicago, st. Louis. San
Francisco and Honolulu. and, so far
as can be learned, most of the com
mitteemen already here have no par
ticular preference. Friends of each of
the rival cities have many claims that
mittee, but the indications are that
the contest really will he between ST.
Louis and Chicago, with Philadelphia
little less favored There are some
republicans who do not want to go
back to Chicago in view of what
happened to tho party there in 1872.
Dissatisfaction has been EXPRESSED,
too, over Chicago's stipulation that
any part of the 500, 900 it offers un-
expended after the convention be
turned back to subscribers instead of
going to the campaign committee.
Apparently the meeting will be
harmonious. The question of reduced
representa- ton has been settled, and,
although some southern members may
rot be entirely satisfied with a rc;iuc-
ton in their representations i'll the
convention, no break is expected now.

Dr.. Beede Gives Some
Decidedly Original
Views Of the War

If there is anybody in this part Of
the country who Is absolutely neutral
in this European war, that man is A.
McG. Beede, the noted Indian mission
ary who Is from Cannonball, N. D.,
and won't stand for having 1t said that
he is from some place else. He ad-
dressed large audience at the Grand
theatre last night on the Grand Free
Lecture course.
Though many came with the expeo-
tation OF hearing DR.. Beede speak en-
his experiences and his work among
the Indians there were none who were
disappointed in hearing it announced
that he would speak on some new ideas
regarding the European war. The au-
dience got something new and which
was presented in DIR. Beede's original
way that was absolutely frank and
without favor to any OF the warning
nations. DR.. Beede speaks from per-
sonai. experiences gained while he was
travelling in Europe, the speaker stat
ing that he had tramped through Ger
many for several weeks and tramped
as tramp-hobo.
"You want to know how long this
war is going to last?" asked the speak
er along toward the end of his adj
dress. 1T is my candid, pious opinion
that it will last two years longer" He
made 1t clear that this was his opln-
ion and that If anyone didn't want to
believe the same way they didn't have
to.
He said that this war Is the same
war that has been fought since the
Trojan war--the conflict of the primi-
tive civilization against the Roman
civilization. In explaining this he
traced the Roman conquests and to
show that strong Gothic civilization
has been built UP in Germany that has
been little if any affected by outside
civilizations. He also stated that Ger
many is fighting for her place in the
sun--that she has never received the
reorganization that is due her for her
high state of civilization.
Direct causes he assigned as COM
mercial ones. He Iikened it to individ-
ual business. "On one corner here in
Fargo you have a business establish
ment with a million dollars of capital
and you start a business on the oppo-
site corner with little or no capital"
said DR.. Beede. You and your wife
and your girl work and hold down ex-
penses and you make this small busi-
ne;aS pay. and by reason of it paying
there comes a time when you become
a

an actual competitor of the million
dollar concern. 1t is at this point that
the conflict comes and the chances are
you will go down.
NOW 1t Is the same way with Ger
many. England has had a monopoly
OF the high seas and of capital and
through this monopoly Germany fore
saw that this day of conflict was COM
ing. That was twenty-five years ago
and she has been laying UP against the
day and preparing for 1t, During these
years she has been making big guns
and doing everything to meet the con-
fiict that was bound to result. You do
not know it but / know that Germany
was on the verge of bankruptcy when
she started the war. for she did press
the button that started it,
The speaker stated how he would
settle the matter. II know you would
not settle 1t this way. but would" he
said. Il would make the final settle
ment according to strict Justice. In
the first place I would re-establish
Belgium and make Poland O. free and

lish millionaires. who have piled up
billions. give Belgium a billion dollars
and Germany three billion dollars and
l would blow Gibraltar to Halifax or
give 1t back to Spain which would
amount to the same thing"
The speaker also dwelt considerably
on the humane side OF the great con-
hict. He said that it is probably the
most humane war that has been fought
regardless Of the charges that have
been made to the contrary. "Our own
civil war was much more inhumane,

and the women and children who lived
