AN OPEN LETTER.

To Hans Urdahl, Madison, S. D.
Dear Sir: 1t has lately come to my
notice that you have been for some
time industriously circulating false
reports about the accounts of the
Madison Normal, In an effort to
smirk my character and discredit my
standing in the community and the
state at large and certainly for no
benefit to the institution.
/ understand that you have repeat
eddy, in the presence of reputable
men, referred to me as a thief and a
crook. During my absence from the
city last spring, you took it upon
yourself to call on the public ac-
countant to examine the books and
records of the school. This office
was performed by Mr.. c. j. Alexan-
der, assistant executive accountant,
who at that time made a report in
which he stated that every dollar of
the Normal funds had been account
ed for, and this was duly accepted
by the governor and the state board
of regents. In the matter. of the
fund deposited in the name of the
former secretary in the Lake County
National bank, an item of $~1,462.12,
the accountant did not In his report
give the date of the deposits. On
this omission which the examiner
evidently did not think of sufficient
Importance, you continued to build
your fabrication and for weeks you
have made a practice of calling men
into your office and stating that you
believed this amount was a shortage;
that the money had been used for
other purposes. had never been de-
posted, and was only produced and
placed in the bank when the examin-
err called for the funds. Here Is
what the examiner says over his own
signature:

ABERDEEN STRICKEN
WHOLE FAMILIES DOWN WITH
EPIDEMIC AND UNABLE TO
GET ATTENTION.

Aberdeen, Oct. 24.-There are
now over 600 cases of Spanish influ-
enza in Aberdeen. The epidemic is
being handled through the Red Cross
and the physicians. and but few
deaths have occurred.
Conditions are quite serious in the
towns in the northern part of Brown
county. Owing to the death of DR..
Charles F. Holmes, the physician at
Hecla, and the illness of another ply
stefan with the disease, DR.. b. f.
Markin, of Columbia, Is said to be
the only physician remaining in that
section. Arrangements have been
made by which an Aberdeen physi-
clan is assigned to an emergency
hospital in each of the towns of
Hecla, Frederick, Westport and Co
lumbia. and nurses are SEN from
Aberdeen to care for the cases.
Officials of the Brown coun ty
branch of the Red Cross make a trip
over the northern half of the county
daily, visiting the emergency hos
pitfalls and taking supplies. Many
pitiful cases are discovered. In one
instance the father and mother and
two small children were found des-
perately i'll with pneumonia In a
downstairs room of a farmhouse,
while in the upstairs room two OF her
children were down with the same
disease. The only aid the family
was receiving was from a neighbor
woman. who was supplying food, but
could do little else. The family was
bundled up and hurried to the enler-
gency hospital at Columbia.
Assistance In the form of trained
nurses is refused families asking for
them, owing to the scarcity OF nurses
and patients needing a nurses care
are required to go to n OF TIE hos
pitfalls, where one nurse can look aft
err a number of patients.

You have ven gone so far as to
threaten to blacken the character of
Mr.. C. r. Westaby, the former secre-
tary, now a soldier In France. Mr..
Westaby enlisted last November and
was called suddenly to camp. He
had expected to return in a couple of
weeks to formally turn over his Of
flee and accounts, but was unable to
obtain leave of absence until April.
And yet you did not hesitate to skoot
a soldier in the back, knowing the
facts.
You have questioned my loyalty
and yet my two sons are in the serv-
ice s volunteers, while you not only
have failed to answer your country's
call. but have publicly objected to
the food regulations in a Madison
restaurant. You have also circulated
the report that the Normal was fall
ing off in attendance when the re-
ports submitted to the board of re-
gents show that the school had an
increase of over a hundred in attend
ance last year, while other state
schools fell off. AS you are aware, I
have repeatedly invited you to exam
inc the records Of the institution that
you may get the facts, but instead
you have manufactured rumors and
deliberately circulated falsehoods to
further your political ends.
Had your despicable conduct only
concerned me personally, / should
have passed it by unnoticed, but
when 1t concerns the leading institu-
tion of this community. 1 feel it my
duty as the head of the Normal to
call upon you for an immediate and
public ~retraction of your false state
ments and distorted facts concerning
this school.
Respectfully,

WILSON'S IDEA

President Wilson yesterday came
out in approval Of a. nationwide COM

Gently issued by Provost Marshal Cen
eral Crowder.
In the following letter to Governor
Emerson c. Harrington, of Maryland,
he indorsed the proposal that other
States adopt the Maryland compulsory
work law, which applies to all mon
between the ages OF IS and 50.
"Your. letter Of May p calls my at
tention to the proposal for a nation
wide movement based upon the prin-
ciples embodied In the Maryland COM
pulsory work law. can say without
hesitation that ] am heartily in ae-
cord with any movement intended to
bring every citizen to q full realiza-
tion of his responsibilities as a partici-
pant in this war.
upon our entrance into the war, I
called upon our citizens to mobilize
their energies for its prosecution in
every way that was possible. The
response has been exceedingly grat!-
flying. The slogan work or fignt' has
everywhere been taken up az a sat-
isfactory expression Of the spirit Of
the people. The instances of failure
to appreciate Its forces and signlf-
cance have been few.
Maryland Was Just .
ut 10 only natural, however, that
those few cases should excite the
feeling that. the spirit of the commu-
nifty should In some way be enforced
BY law upon those who are not will
ing to cooperate OF their own initis-
tive. This has made possible the
effective operation OF our selectiye
service law.
'The memorahdum which YOU nave
prepared points out how wisely Mary
