MS
. RETURNED To- LIFE
BUT NOT TO SPORT
Russian Lion Has Retired and
Is Settled Down for Old Age
in England Interned for
Five Years in Germany.

New York, Nov. 12.-(Special)--
George Hackenschmidt, who dropped
out of sight several years ago, has been
heard from. The giant Russian, one of
the greatest figures the mat game has
produced in modern times. has settled
down for the remainder of his days in
q bungalow at Shoreham- by 1.-The Sea,
England He is getting on in years and
has of course retired forever from the
strenuous game of which he was for
many years a leading exponent. News
of his experiences in the past three or
four years is contained in letter writ
ten by him TO Jack Curley.
1t seems that Hackenschmidt and
his wife were in Berlin when the war
broke out that summer day in 1914.
Hackenschmidt being a Russian and
his wife of French parentage and
native of England, the couple were at
once interned as enemy aliens. They
were, however, allowed a reasonable
amount of liberty as long as they did
not attempt to leave a certain area in
Berlin, and later were sent to Ba-
varia. They suffered little, actual
hardship but were compelled to pay
exorbitant prices for the necessities of
life during their stay in Berlin In
Bavaria, Hackenschmidt writes, condi-
lions We're UNNECESSARILY better and
food was plentiful.
The giant grappler and his wife We're
released some months ago and went
at once to England, and the purchase
of the bungalow at Shoreham, which is
about twenty-siX miles from London,
soon followed. According to Curley,
Hack was worth at least million dol
lars when he departed from these
shores. Practically half of his fortune
was invested in rockribbed English
securities, SO it is obvious that the big
fellow is comfortably fixed for the rest
of his life,
In his letter the Russian Lion re-
Quested information Concerning many
of his old associates, of whom he had
lost track in the years he was cut off
from the rest of the world. Some of
them are dead, others. like him have
dropped from sight. That the big fell
low still is interested in wrestling is
Indicated by the fact that he for
warded with his letter some Informal
tion about Andre Cherpilord, a Swiss
grappler who he is sure would make
good here. Curley has communicated
with Cherpilord and it is probable
that the Swiss will soon be on his way
to America.

BASEBALL DRAFT IS
IMPORTANT MEASURE;
COAST OWNER FOR 1T

Easily the most important PROPOSE
ton to come before the current SEES
sion Of the national association of
minor baseball leagues at Springfield
is the establishment of the draft
If its proponents can arrange a salts
factory basis for all leagues to follow
IN this respect and at the same time
bring about amity and commerce be-
tween the Coast league. for example
and the majors, a great'stride will have
been made toward a new era in the
history of the pastime.
Judge William w. McCredie, owner
of the Portland club, is a firm advocate
of the draft, and is going to attend the
Springfield convention to urge it's res
toration He contends that the draft
permits young players to rise faster
and makes for the better interests of
the game all through.

BEFORE BREAKFAST

Gooding and Twin Falls staged a
merry football battle at Gooding as
part of the Armistice day festivities.
The home eleven won, 33 to IA, before
a noisy crowd reported as over thou

The first half of the game was all
Cooding's. Two touchdowns were made
III the first quarter and one in the Sec
ond, the score at the end of the first
half being 20 to 0. Not until the final
period did Twin Falls chalk up score
Then forward pass enabled them
to cross the goal line. In the last few
of play, when the Gooding
team fumbled and lost the pigsl<in in
the dark, the visitors ran away again
Tor a second touchdown. If the game
had continued TIL midnight the Twins
could have evened up.

The Delaware Indians made salt

WHERE WILL 1T COME FROM?

The Socialist organs 'of the state started out some
time ago to prove that recent legislation enacted at Bis
marck would result in no increase in the taxes paid by
individual citizens Of North Dakota. 1t soon became ap-
parent that this ground was utterly unattainable, and
the statements made were manifestly ridiculous. Hence.
there has been a change of front It is admitted now
that the state taxes for the ensuing year will be higher
than at any time in the past. but it is maintained that
the increase will so slight that like the cold in a dry
time. nobody will notice it.
According to estimates furnished by administration
authorities and experts during the legislative session the
assessed valuation Of North Dakota under the new law
will be about 81, 200, 900, 900 for 1919. The assessed valua-
ton last year under the old system in round numbers,
$500, 600, 600. The state tax levy last year was 43 mills
on the dollar, and a little exercise with a lead pencil will
show that this levy on a $400, o00,0 valuation would
yield a revenue of s~1,720,O0O. In a statement published
in the North Dakota Leader, the North Dakota tax COM
by. 1. A. Baker, secretary estimates the tax levy
for 1919 at 81 mills, In an article in the same paper
William G. Roylance who acted as tax expert and ad-
visor in the framing of. the new tax law estimates the
levy at 3 mills. Using the lower estimate and proceeding
with a lead pencil as before we find that the revenue to
be derived from this source this year is $780, 900. In
other words, the treasury of North Dakota is expected by

HAWAIIAN SCHOOLS

An effort has been in progress in Hawaii to Ameri-
canize the schools to q greater extent than has hitherto
been attempted. It has been proposed not only that
English shall be taught in all schools. public and private,
but that the teaching shall be conducted in the English
language. There has arisen an obstacle which might
have been anticipated in a territory with the population
so mixed as that Of Hawaii. The territory has a very
large japanese population and the japanese have been
conducting their own schools in their own language, and
substantially in the manner customary in their own
land. 1t may be assumed that this practice is satisfactory
to the japanese who are ambitious colonists. and who
undoubtedly would like to extend their influence in the
mid-Pacific archipelago, but the objection which they
raise to- the proposed change at this time has a basis
which at least appears to be valid in that it rests on in
manner desired: The Japanese teachers who have been
expected to acquire a teaching knowledge Of English in
a few months, nor can other teachers suitably qualified
be obtained on short notice. The fact seems to be there
fore that insistence on the proposed, regulation woild
result in closing many Of the schools altogether. The
Japanese express willingness to extend the use Of English
in schools under their control as far and as RAPIDLY as
possible, and if they give evidence iof carrying out this
intent in good faith it is only fair that they should be
given a reasonable opportunity to do so.
Hawaii is an American territory, and that being
true the English language ought to be the language. of
the territory, and ought to be taught properly to all child
rem within it's jurisdictions. That is true of all territory
controlled by the United States, but where populations
are greatly mixed and large groups representing differ
ent races live in compact communities the element o:
reason must enter into all regulations adopted, otherwise
the results aimed at will not be attained.

OVER H O

Grand Forks city has gone over the top in the Victory
Loan campaign. 1t was a foregone conclusion that the
city would meet its allotment, and the calm. assurance
with which people accepted that fact was the basis Of the
chief difficulty Of the committee. When everybody real
ICES that a given thing is going to be done the sense of
personal responsibility for the outcome is apt to become
blunted. and many an individual is apt to feel that even
it he drops out, it will not make much difference
there will be plenty of others to make up the deficiency.
Every committee that has been charged with the col
lection Of subscriptions for this loan has. had a work Of
herculean proportions to perform. The stimulus that
actual and existing war conditions gave to the first three
campaigns was gone. When the armistice went into eff
feet on the 18th Of last November everyone understood
that the fighting was over, not to be resumed. The fourth
the effect Of the armistice was noticed in the immediate
slackening in subscriptions.
This condition was. naturally, much more strongly
emphasized in this campaign. The country has its face
turned toward peace, and the need for money to provide
for the cost of a war that was over did not make the
strong appeal that came when the fight was on.
1t has been said that it was a :oregone conclusion
that the allotment Of the city would be met. That is an
accurate statement. But this would not have been true
had the shaping Of the work not been in the hands of a
committee possessing. not enthusiasm alone, for enthusi-
asm evaporates, but ,unconquerable determination. This
campaigns in which it has been engaged, but it has never
acquitted itself more magnifcently than in its handling
of the Victory Loan.

O OF B0LSHEylSM

One L. Z. Katterfield made a speech in Spokane the
other day. Katterfield is a Socialist. and a member OF
the Socialist national committee. He was in Spokane for
the purpose of preaching Socialist doctrine and strength
ening the cause of his party. In the course of his re-
marks he said:
Well, look at me. I am one of those ter
rible creatures, There is not a drop Of blood in
my body but pulses in harmony with my part
ners in Russia. -
THE Bolshevists in Russia are making a
blueprint that will show workers elsewhere how
to act. . Heretofore we have been at the dlsad-
vantage of having to theorize as to what we
should do if in power. but now We know. They
have abolished the right to own land and they
have taken over most of the industries. They
don't allow the capitalist class to vote. They are
abolishing' the capitalist class.
'Those who live from rents. interest or any
other form of thieving must get to work if they
T want to vote. Let us organize on the job. Let
Z JUS make our power felt. I am tired of this cap
italist system, and, SO far as I am concerned,
1 am willing to abolish it tonight. Revolution has
started; revolution is here"
OF course it is nothing new for American Socialists
to express their sympathy with and admiration of Boil
shevism. North Dakota Socialist papers are doing that
every day. But it is interesting to observe the frank
pose to abolish things that a good many old-fash:oned
people hold dear, such as the ownership of the land on
which the toll of their life has been expended, and the
ownership of capital the result Of the industry and thrift
OF years.
