Historical Accuracy.
tor of The Tribune.

To the Edltor or Inc Tribune.
Sir: Robert the barber, who says little
hut thinks more. voices his personal opinion
that the flag OF orange, white and blue
newly adopted by the city, was originally
devised to signalize the conquest of Holland
by the Dutch.
A careful reading of the book edited by
John B. Pine, L. II. D., and published under
the authority Of the Mayors anniversary COM
mittee, does not discover any mention Of this
interesting detail, yet one cannot but re-
member the reported Federal victory which
the careful newspaper man announced with
the saving clause that it was important il
true.
The rigid necessity for historical accuracy
makes it proper to offer this kindly sugges-
ton for the benefit Of the Art Commission,
the Board of Aldermen and the Mayor. so
that the celebration set for the Gath NAV be
quite complete in its record of the great
events which have led up TO so momentous
function, the commemoration Of foreign
rule in Manhattan. JOSEPH p. M'HUGH'

General de Vets Punishment.

Found guilty Of high treason on eight
counts, General Christian de Wet can
hardly complain of harsh treatment at
the hands of his judges. Six years i'm
prisonment and a fine of $40, 000-could
the most sympathetic of his friends and
followers reasonably have hoped that the
outspoken leader Of the South African re-
bellion would escape with a lighter SEN
tence?
There were many in England who ex-
pected that he would be dealt with more
severely. Some of them clamored loudly
for his execution last December when
he was seized by the government forces
at Waterbury. This indiscretion was
cause Of some resentment in South Africa
at the time, and a sober protest was made
by some leading men there against inter
ference on the part of Englishmen at
home. 1t was for the South African
courts to decide what should be done with
de Wet, and considering how few years
had passed since the Boer war, it was
imprudent to attempt to dictate to them.
In South Africa there were many who
regarded the attempted rebellion as co.
lossal mistake, and looked upon de Wet,
if not as victim of more mischievous
schemers, at least as a good man who had
gone wrong. Besides, there were not a
few who found some justification for the
uprising. They had never entirely APP
proved Of the South African Defence act,
and in their view Of Imperialism were
more or less as one with General Herzog,
who two or three years ago, when a men,
Der Of the Botha Ministry, had expressed
his sentiments thus: imperialism is i'm
portant to me only when it is useful to
South Africa, TO its land and to its peo-
pie. When it is not serviceable, | have
respect for it from a distance; but as
South African | have little to do with it:
and when it is contrary TO the interests
of South Africa and the interests of the
people Of the country, then am distinct
enemy Of imperialism"
De Wet was always less temperate in
his opposition. He was irreconcilable to
British rule and regarded the British peo
pie as foreigners in South Africa. Even
had there been no talk Of an aggressive
expedition to German Southwest Africa
he could hardly have been counted on as
an out-and-out loyalist. On the other
hand, he could not have been suspected of
treachery as Maritz was; there was never
the least reason for believing that he
would deliberately play into the hands of
the enemy or exchange British for Ger
man rule. He was simply an uncompro-
missing patriot, who, as he said himself
would rather stand on dungheap among
his own people than be raised to the most
jmposing platform among strangers.

Cut Mr.. Prendergast's Salary.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In The Tribune OF June II Controller
Prendergast says that teachers should do
more work for less pay, which is the same
as having their salaries lowered, because the
taxpayers who pay the teachers receive lower
salaries, as rule, than the teachers.
According to this kind Of reasoning, then,
Mr.. Prendergasts salary should be lowered
at once. lie is paid by the taxpayers, and is
a far greater culprit than the teachers in
receiving a larger salary than the average
taxpayer II he has a sensitive conscience in
this matter he should set US overpaid
teachers good example at once by refusing
TO take more than q fraction Of his present
salary. STELLA CROSSLEY.

Russia. defeated, is undoubtedly willing TO
make much larger concessions TO Rumania
than would be offered II the Cars forces
still held Bukowina and were already de-
touching from the Carpathian passes into
the Hungarian plain.
In point of military achievement the
Teutonic allies now stand at their high
water mark. They are making their fight
on alien territory, except in two small Sec
tors in Austria-Hungary. They have re-
Gained much lost ground in the last two
months. But they have still contest Of
exhaustion before them, in which their ad-
vanced state of military preparedness will
tell less than It has told in the first eleven
months Of the war. They are also handi-
canned in the diplomatic struggle for
the support of states still neutral. They
have acquired a new enemy in Italy, and
NAV soon have to count Rumania, Greece
and Bulgaria as foes. The first year of
the war has been largely their year. But
what Of the next year and the year after,
when the balance against them in popula-
ton. resources, money and the ability to
manufacture and buy munitions begins to
make itself felt?

For q Special Session.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir There has recently been an editorial
in your paper and one in "The New York
Congress.
The points made against it by "The Times"
would apply equally at any time and only
represent the shudder and shiver many peo-
pie have whenever Congress begins to NEEDLE
and mudde with any subjects general feel
ing that whatever they do will be wrong.
But one vital reason why Congress should
be Immediately called in special session has
never been advanced, and that is TO abrogate
the pusillanimous Bryan peace treaties. We
have just seen how the theory of these trea-
ties breaks down in the Lusitania case.
Fortunately we did not have such a treaty
with Germany or we should be helpless and
have TO submit TO a commission, composed
largely of foreigners, a request that we be
murder Of American women and children on
the high seas TO continue.
The American people do not seem TO realize
the menace TO our national life and character
which Mr.. Bryan slipped over" on US in the
shape of these depraved treaties
Is the American boy TO be brought up 70
believe that if another boy insults his sister
he is to wait a year in order TO consider the
matter?
In any vital case which arises with any
country with whom We have one Of these
treaties We must either submit to national
shame and be deprived Of our rights, or else
break the treaty, which would be immoral.

The Long Prairie Leader has the
right idea when it says that one of,
the main issues in Minnesota politics
should be law enforcement. The best
the only treatment to give any
law is absolute enforcement. It was
General Grant who coined the saying,
that "the best way to repeal a bad
law was to enforce it." In other
words, if law can stand strict en-
forcement, it will survive, and that is
the only kind Of laws we should re-
tain on the statute books. Nor
should it be necessary in this work to
place a lot of enforcement laws on
the statute books. Just enforce the
laws we now have and try to avoid
the creation of half dozen new de-
partments charged with the work. If
we use the laws we now have intel
ligently and aggressively, we shall
not only attain unique distinction
among the states, but most likely we
will obtain the best results. Okla
homa and North Dakota, both prohi-
bition states, are fair samples of the
other method. Both those states
have elaborate enforcement" depart
ments and success has crowned their
Efforts Wadena Pioneer Journal.

Another incongruity has been dis
covered in Minnesota's complicated
game laws. It has been pointed out
that the laws permit resident hunter
to kill a deer or an antlered moose.
The non resident hunter may kill both
deer and an antlered moose, but the
law prevents him from taking them
outside the state. Carlos Avery,
game and fish commissioner, does not
think the legislature intended this dis
elimination in favor Of the non res
jcent hunter, and he also wonders why
e non resident hunter is permitted to
kill moose if he is not permitted to
take it home. People are beginning
to think too many cheap lawyers have
been sent to the legislature.-The
Norris Tribune.

A Farmers Credit.


An investigation into interest rates
in Minnesota brought ont the fact
that in twelve counties where the
farmers were organized in cooper
ative creameries, the interest rate
was 5 to 51a per cent; in counties
where stock farming, but little dairy
ing, was practiced, the interest rate
was from 6 to per cent and commits
sions; while in sections where crop
farming was the rule interest rates
were to 10 per cent plus commits
sions. The same banks and insurance
companies were furnishing the money
used in all three sections.
The fact is, the dairymen could pay
their obligations when the banker
wanted them to pay; the stockmen
could pay once a year apd were GER
tain of their ability to do so; but the
grain farmers we're dependent on
whether crops were good or not. The
greater the bankers chances, the
greater is his interest charge.
The farmers credit is the same as
any other man's-it depends on his
ability and willingness to pay his
debts. If he lacks in his ability and
willingness, the legislature cannot
create credit for him by passing a
law. If farmer is to have good
credit, he must create if for himself
by farming so he will have money to
pay his debts and feeling under OBJ
legation to pay them as soon as they
fall due.-The North Dakota Farmer.

We are just in receipt Of the final
award Of the Grand Booster Prize for
the best booster in our late advertise
ing campaign. Miss Rose Rosendahl
is the winner Of the Grand Prize, the
piano.
The only regret that we have at the
close Of this advertising event is that
we could not afford to give each one
of the boosters a grand prize. Every
one did splendid service and we de-
sire to express to them our hearty
thanks.
Each one of the active boosters re-
ceived some prize during the cam
paign but there was only one Grand
Prize and only one could win it.
The advertising company who put
t on this campaign had full supervision
at all times and our Mr.. Berg worked
under it's direction. All questions
pertaining to the conduct Of the cam
paign were submitted to them. AS far
as we know every award has been
