GREED CARDINAL
SIN OF AMERICA
So Says Mrs. Barrett
Speaker Says All Should
Go to Government

The War Problem Solved From a
Business Mans Standpoint, was the
subject Of the address given this after
noon by DR.. Kate Waller Barrett of
Alexandria, Va, and Washington,
d. c., at the conclusion of luncheon
at the Gardner hotel.
Mrs. Barrett treated her subject in
a general way, centering her theme
earned, fully seventy-five per cent
represents human life, blood and labor
and only the remaining twenty five
per cent really belongs to the person
generally termed as the owner. She
fguratively held UP the present war
as a mirror in which we can see our
selves as a nation, and cited as the
cardinal sin of the American people,
their greed.
1--WE have simply got to get outside
our own selfishness," urged the
speaker. Everything which we do
not really and truly need for our or
binary comfort and welfare should be-
long to our government in this crisis"
Along this line of thought, Mrs. Bar
rett affirmed that the business man
in America must make up his mind to
be unselfish along with. the rest Of
his surplus earnings to the Red Cross
and various other calls for financial
support Of war measures.
Mrs. Barrett left this afternoon for
d. c., to attend, next
Tuesday, the conference which Presi-
dent Wilson will hold with the heads
of various national organizations. Mrs.
Barrett is president of the National
Florence Crittenton Home association.

and later played popular and patriotic
airs in the building. BY 2 o'clock
every seat had been filed and sew
eral hundred people were standing.
With sultry weather outside and the
big crowd of people in the building,
the conditions were far from COM
Portable.
Patriotism was the keynote of the
period of waiting for the speakers to
appear. Ushers distributed small
American flags to those in the audi
ence, and the band played America"
and "The Star Spangled Banner"
while the audience stood and waved
flags.
The appearance of the speakers, in
GLIDING Governor Frazier and A. G.
Townley. president of the Nonpartisan
league, was the signal for an outburst
of cheers.
A. e. Bowen acted as chairman of
the meeting, and after the audience
had been photographed, he made

FARMERS AFRAID
OF GOVERNMENT
Hendrum Man so Tells Rich,
Reserve Bank Head, Dis
cussing Loan Problem
CIV Associated Press.)

Minneapolis, June 16.-John H. Rich,
chairman of the Minneapolis federal
reserve bank. has received letter
from Jacob H. Ulvan of Hendrum
Minn.,. explaining the opinion of a
practical farmer as to the reason why
the agricultural district did not re-
spond satisfactorily to the Liberty
loan. The letter says in part:
THE farmers have been looking
eagerly for congress and the govern
ment t. 40 something toward warding
off starvation. The farmers were
asked to do all they could TO raise
big crops and they have done all they
could. Not ten per cent of the farm
ers, l believe, wanted the country to
go into the war. Now they are being
told by the Nonpartisan league that
the big business is influencing public
opinion and controlling the larger
newspapers"
The farmers do not believe that the
government is sincere, the writer says,
and declares they all fear that after
they have raised the large crops the
wants, they are going to
be tricked out of their profits.

FULL PARDON
TO THOUSANDS
tBy Associated Press.)

Washington, June 16.-Nearly 5000
persons at liberty under suspended
sentences imposed by federal courts
have been granted full amnesty and
pardon" by President Wilson in a
proclamation carrying out the re-
Gently announced policy Of extending
clemency in such cases. Without the
exercise of such clemency the per-
sons affected would have been COM
PEELED under a supreme court man
date to return to custody today.
The proclamation, signed Thursday
and made public yesterday, points
out that many of those under sus-
pended sentences have been at liberty
for long periods and have established
themselves as valuable factors in
their communities so that their re-
turn to custody would serve no good
purpose. The supreme court decision
affecting. them was delivered in the
celebrated Killitts case last Deem
Der, the court holding unanimously
that no federal Judge has authority to
suspend a sentence but staying its
mandate until June is.
Amnesty and pardon Is extended by
the proclamation In all cases where
the sentences imposed were less than
the period between the date of impo-
sition and the present date and in all
cases where pleas or verdicts Of guilty
were entered prior to June Is, 1916,
but no sentence passed. In all other
cases OF suspension a respite of six
months is granted for investigation
Referring to the supreme courts
mandate annulling the practice of sus-
pending sentences, the president says
in his proclamation:
"The practice was widespread and
many thousands of persons are now at
liberty under such suspensfons never
having served any portion OF the
sentences duly authorized and requir-
ed by the statutes. Many of these per-
sons are leading blanaeless lives and
have re-esta bIished themselves in the
confidence Of their fellow citizens and
it is believed that the enforcement OF
the law at this late date would, in
most instances be productive of no
good result

He briefly reviewed the history OF
the Nonpartisan league, and the Anti
Socialist league.
There was a time" he said, when
the papers like The Fargo Forum and
The Grand Forks Herald didn't OPP
pose the Nonpartisan league. That
was before the big business interests
of the state and those outside the
state knew about the league and it's
purposes. The great mass of the people
of the state didn't know much about
the league until the first copies Of
The Nonpartisan Leader were placed
in the postofflce. Then big business
started opposing it. At the first battle
the league captured absolute political
control Of the state as far as 1t was
possible to capture it at one election.

address was devoted to an attack on

another Nonpartisan rally would be
