ernism is not pose, but proceeds from
central philosophy of life. Although
not yet twenty-five, he has read and
studied much.
Born two years before the outbreak
of the Spanish-American War, he began
his musical studies at the approved age
for nfodigies, varying with the taste of
the press agent, but seldom later than
the, age of three. His first teacher was
Isidore Moskowitz. At the age of eight
he made his first public appearance at
Carnegie Lyceum. His talent reached
the attention of Professor Willy Hess,
onetime concert master of the Boston
symphony Orchestra, who became his
teacher. Professor Hess took the lad
abroad. He entered the Royal Acad-
envy. Fate plays strange tricks on a
democrat, but the boy soon showed his
mettle by resisting the addition of
courses in the curriculum. He was
summoned before the plethoric director
who boasted thirteen titles, but no
sense of humor- The boy did not bow
or click his heels. The director smut
tered, stammered and ragged. He de-
clded to recommend the lads dismissal
at the next faculty meeting, but Pro
fessor Hess said that il young Wadler
were dismis sed he would resign ont
right.
HIS first American appearance was in
Aeollan Hall last February. Since then
he has been recognized as a significant

While the last musical season was
dominated by virtuosity, it was not
altogether devoid of constructive ten
denotes. Among these may be men
toned the pioneer step of Mayo Wad-
Ter, the new American violinist, who
proved that America has come of age
unsteady by his original programmes
of works by living American composers.
During the summer he perfected
plans to extend this work in behalf of
American composers. From twenty
states they have sent him new works
for the violin. They range from the
sublime to ragtime, from democracy to
the desert, and express the varying
phases Of the American character. The
war has left it's impress on American
musicians, and this responsiveness to
living forces is good sign that our
creative music will not follow out
worn traditions.

grammes is not his only or his para

SATURDAY, r., EVENING LETTER
By9Jqstice J.H,E::,R Robinson

September Fl, 1918. In my last
letter l gave the press and the people
my opinion or decision in the Finlay.
son case. As think the reasoning
shows conclusively and to a demon
stration that under, our constitution,
no person may be convicted of crime
and sent to the penitentiary without a
trial by jury. Thus far no one has
attempted to point out any error or
flaw in the reasoning, and defy any
one to do it. . .,. ..Ia 5,H
i This week my theme is on the writ
ing of judicial decisions. What do
you know of that; how is it done;
what is its object and purpose? In
matters Of legal dispute. as you do
know, it is the business Of a Judge to
consider and waive the Testimony, the
evidence, the probabilities and to de-
termine the controlling facts, the law
and the reasons. Under the constitu-
ton when a cause or matteris con-
sidered and decided, the reasons must
be concisely stated in writing, signed
by the judges and filed SO as to be-
come a public record. Then it be.
comes decision. When the decisions
book of 700 pages, they are commonly
published in book form at the expense
of the state. The books are numbered
consecutively and are known as N. ~.
or North Dakota Reports. The de-
cisions are also published in the
Northwestern Reporter which sells to
all lawyers of all the northwestern
states and to some lawyers in every
state. As<,I reckon, all the booking
and publishing of the decisions does
cost the dear people twenty dollars for
each page. Hence, in the constitu-
ton 1t is provided that the reasoning
of decision shall be stated cOncisely.
Il q judge wants to spread himself by
commentary on the. law, he should
do it by publishing book at bis own
expense. s29t:
In a law suit there, are commonly
only two or three controlling and ma
terial points of law and fact, and
to those the Judge should limit his
reasoning. However, at law, as in
politics, it is not uncommon for the
Judge or the lawyer to overlook or ig-
more the main points of the case, to
set u pand knock down men of straw.
In the Motor Vehicle case the de.
cision of thirty-seven pages evaded or
showed under the real question which
was this: Does the constitution per-

RuL HAYWOOD's "COMRADE'

BILL MA WOODS 'OOMnADE
Fellow Worker: Have just returned from
Des Moines, Iowa, and am very glad to be
able to report that all of the cases there are
disposed of favorably and the boys at liberty.
| think the Defense committee is satisfied
with the handling of the case. Of course it
was not one in which any labor principle was
involved and therefore, the fight was SIM
ply made to get the boys out.
My expenses for the trip were $34.30, and if
you will send me check for that it will clean
the matter up.
How are you coming with the Minnesota
proposition. l hope you don't start anything
until the year has expired This damned war
business is going to make it mighty hard to
do good organization work or good radical
work of any kind, but think the fight should
be now centered against spy bills and con-
scriptiOn.

/ Ally.
Does the foregoing letter convey to North d.
kotans that Bill Haywoods friend passed upon
all the legislation enacted in North Dakota at the
last legislative session?
1t should.
Arthur LeSeuer was the chairman of the So
called legal committee of the Nonpartisan caucus.
Every bill intended for presentation by Non
partisan members went to this committee, and
had to have it's approval before it was submitted
to the house. Arthur LeSeuer was the man who
set at the head of the table and said thumbs up
or thumbs down. He was virtual dictator of the
legislation for the state of North Dakota.
The man who addressed big Bip' Haywood
as Fellow Worker" held the political destinies
Of our commonwealth in his hand.
At least a dozen measures aimed at the |. w. W.
were submitted to that committee. Not one of
them ever came out of the committee.
Does the Fellow Worker" letter explain why =?
It should.
Haywood is now in federal prison, but his
dear fellow worker" is Carrying on" outside the
walls. He is still high in the councils of the Non
partisan league and one of the three or four men
who dictate it's policies.
If Governor Frazier is reelected this coming
fall, Bill Haywood's friend will again be dictator
Of North Dakota if he cares to be.
Does anyone imagine that Governor Frazier
would veto any legislation approved by Bill Hay
woods friend, or dictate any legislation he op-
posed?
Does the letter convince anyone who reads it
Of the serious issue confronting North Dakota I!
It should. Fargo Forum.

WHY NOT GERMAN

There ought to be no need of explaining why
the German language must NOT be taught in
American schools-even though P. P. Claxton,
U. S. commissioner Of education, says it should.
However, we'll explain.
We teach foreign languages in American schools
because we expect the pupil to make some USE OF
them.
1t is obvious that the languages they can use
most will be the languages most widely distrib-
uted The languages most widely distributed,
next to English, are Spanish and French. Fur
thermore, our nearest neighbors are people who
speak Spanish and French.
Yes, there are few more people in the world
speaking German than speak either Spanish or
to restricted district in central Europe; the Ian
guages of the new democracies in America and
elsewhere are English, or Spanish, or French-or
Portuguese in one case.
If we expect that these free nations, our pres
ent allies our future partners, will drop their
speech and adopt German, we then must expect
that German influence will dominate these democ-
would mean that German influence
would dominate the world.
And that won't happen!
Therefore, the teaching of German as foreign
tongue in preference to Spanish and French IS
not only unpatriotic, it is nonsensical.
It is nonsense to teach German in the schools
unless expect German victory.

WILHELM MUST SUFFER-!

Apart from the iron will Of the United States
government to destroy Prussian militarism, here
is the transcendant reason why President Wilson
could entertain no other thoSIght thanllqurt re-
lection of Austria's malevolent peace proposal:
This is a PERSONAL war:
It was forced upon peaceful world by the PER-
SONAL ambitions of Wilhelm of Hohenzollern,
ably aided and abetted by Franz Josef OF Haps-
burg
Franz Josef, it is to be hoped, is paying the pen
alty for his crimes in the other world by few
years.
But Kaiser Wilhelm MUST BE MADE TO SUI
FER in this world as we'll as in the next He must
nay a PERSONAL penalty for a PERSONAL
crme-the most atrocious in the worlds history.
The chances are that when his armies are crush
ed the kaiser will lean on the trusty sword ne
talks so much about and defeat the allies purpose
to make him suffer. Nothing short of that event
must be permitted to sway the allies in their
PERSONAL fight for the head of Wilhelm the
Damned.
There must be no sentimentality about it, Was
the kaiser sentimental when he ravished Belgium,
sank the Lusitania?
Tearing him limb from limb would not be too
brutal if the punishment were made to fit the
crime.
The penalty can be left for the future to de-
eide It is sufficient now for the allies to bend
every effort toward the PERSONAL punishment
of the maniac of Potsdam.
Already the artfu HUN propagandists are be-
ginning their campaign to awaken sympathy for
their hated leader. Stories of the illness of the
German empress, of the care-worn appearance Of
the kaiser's face. of his hair turning white; rum
crs of his abdication-al may be set down to HUN
propaganda.
These early efforts to gain him clemency must
fail. The allies must be stern judge in passing
sentence. No neutral should be allowed to give
him asylum. There must be no Fba from which
Wilhelm, like Napoleon, can return to vaster pow
er. The st. Helena to which the kaiser goes must
be for him the last jumping-off place.
One of our war reporters cables that the heavy
rains are giving the Germans time to bury their
dead. They didn't need time to bury their hopes ;
