Hanson's career since ne deserted his
native and Scandinavian Wisconsin is about
as picturesque as the man. sixteen years
ago he left Wisconsin, crippled in both legs
and drove to Seattle in wagon because
he was train shy over the accident that
injured his legs. He and his family camped
out the first night after their arrival The
next night he bought grocery store. Ole
had never had one and the owner said
he didn't want it any more. The grocer,
Ole now believes. is the king Of philan-
thropists. He sold out and went into III
surance. In two months he made $3.50.
Then he did little research investigation
and discovered that not an insurance agent
IN Washington owned his own home 80
he settled down in the real estate busi-
ness, until politics got him. And he says
he's going back TO it-no matter what the
Eastern papers write about him.
Ole Hansons last word on the strike
happened to be the same as his first; or
about the same bject-prohibition:
Maybe it made the logger into dan
gerous !. W. W. But in this strike It
saved Seattle more money than was lost
by the liquor interests when the State Of
Washington went dry. Not an arrest for
violence in a city of 10000 people; not
a piece of property destroyed. That's be-
cause whiskey is $50 n quart here when
you can get it,"

groes cooperated in subscribing to Lib
erty bonds, in purchasing war savings
stamps, IN food production and in food
conservation, and in other war work ac-
tivltles. From various communities the
white and black soldiers were sent away
with the same hearty godspeed and in
many instances under the auspices of the
same committee AS result of working
together in these war work activities
whites and negroes throughout This South
land were brought into more helpful
lationship Each learned to expect more
of the other. 1t is the earnest desire of
this conference, in these times of peace,
that this spirit of cooperation will continue
and grow stronger and moro helpful and
thus contribute in larger way TO the
growth and development of the South"
Surely, no better spirit could be asked.
Yet reports from Alabama, Georgia
and Tennessee say something akin to the
ku kluX Khan is being revived. 1t is
almost unbelievable. The feeling of the
negroes as reflected in their newspapers
is one of bitterness, Encouragement
and pathetic despair.
Happily, sentiment appears divided.
The Mayor of Knoxville, on receipt of
letter from an organizer of the secret
society in his state, called together
group Of leading negroes Of Knoxville
AID said he did not feel a branch of the
organization was necessary in his city.
The name of Governor Roberts of Ten
nessee having appeared on the list Of
members, he repudiated the organization
and gave out an interview saying the
use of his name was forgery.
An i'll day will arrive if there is
revival of racial animosity in the South.

"eaf'eo' open-speaklng, clear-visioned old
man not long ago was merely a states

roosevelt did here. He has seemed the
only man at Paris with the wisdom Of

patched-up peace league will hope for

In the Eye

Godfrey Parsons, Of The Tribune,
writing from Kansas City, perceives the
political potency of the dissatisfied SOL
der, not the soldier out of work and,
therefore, discontentcd-th situation
has not yet become acute far back from
points of debarkation-bu the soldier
back from the front with the belief rank
ling that the lives of his comrades were
wasted.
Governor Allen, for nearly year a Red
Cross man in France with the 35th Kan
sas and Missouri troops, gave expression
to this feeling in his address of inaugu-
ration: The Kansas and Missouri troops,
fighting for days in the dense Argonne
forest, suffered much more severely than
they should have done, he said, because
not properly supported by artillery, be-
cause they had too few machine guns
and because there were almost no air
planes or anti-aircraft guns to combat
the Germans, who flew at will over the
Americans. Wounded men, lying where
they had fallen, fought off the low-fying
German planes with revolvcrs. Gov
ernor Allen said the 35th Division lost
1000 men in the Argonne fighting in
about four days, or more than 25 per
cent! The Governor is now in Wash
ington relating in detail the facts touched
upon by him.

rous divisions, including that of the 35th,
the War Department was guilty of bad
faith because it apparently sought to
create the opinion that it's figures COW
cred all the losses, whereas they covered
only the dead. Also, the War Depart
ment, in pointing out that the losses of
the Both were not so great as those of
some other divisions, failed to say that
the losses Of the 35th were sustained in
only one battle, while the other divisions
were engaged in a series Of battles.
Following the publication in The Trib-
une some weeks ago Of Governor Aliens
charges, The Tribune received letter
from Major David Bcale, LIST Battalion,

charge made by the Kansas man was
true, and that as to his own battalion.

In "The New York World" of Febru
airy IA was special dispatch quoting
from the official report of Captain Ralph
f. Truman, intelligence officer Of the
l40th Infantry, part of the 35th Di-
vision. 1t more than confirms every
charge made by Governor Allen.
General March, on the other hand, has
been quoted as saying the losses of the
35th We're not excessive, that the Ar
come was well planned battle, that the
artillery support was adequate and that
the Americans were we'll supplied with

TWO states want to know is how manv
died unnecessarily.

Whereupon Ole Hanson picked up tele
gram, called in a stenographer and turned
down the request of a New York newspaper
for n 1,500-word article on the laws he
would propose to curb Boshevsm in
America. He turned down the request and
the publicity, and he turned down the laws,
too. The substance OF his reply was that
laws might be enacted which while meet

the rights of the American people; 1t was
better to wall till calmness and elaboration
could take the place of Juror and tumult.

CINCINNATI SURE WINNER;
WILL BE HERE THIS WEEK
FOR GAME WITH KLEIN

Cincinnati cinched the Pennant
Saturday when the Reds took two
games from the Phillies. New York
fans still figure that there is a chance
for the Giants. Pat Moran, however
Will not take any chances in games
yet to play and will go into every
game with the same pep as his team
has been showing all season. This
week promises to be an easy one for
the leaders.
On Friday the Reds have an off day
and will be in Harrisburg with a
complete lineup. Cincinnati will
play the Klein Chocolate Company
team at Island Park. 1t is probable
that slim" Sallee will be in the box
for the champions. This pitcher has
been big factor in the winning
games.
Harry F. Sallee
Harry F. Sallee. the Reds premier
southpaw pitcher, was born at
Higginsport, Ohio, February 3, 1885.
He started his pareer as a profess
sional with Birmingham in 1905, re-
maing there in 1906. He was with
the New York Americans in 1907, but
later played with Williamsport. Pa,
of TriState League, from which he
was drafted by the st. Louis Cardi-
nails in 1908, remaining with that

team until purchased from it by the
New York Giants in 1916.
Sallee is the tallest pitcher in the
National League. He stands feet
8 inches, weights 100 pounds. In
1917, he won 10 and lost s games for
the Giants. He worked in the
worlds series that fall, winning one
and losing the other game.
In 1918 he strained a tendon in his
back, but in 16 games broke even.
He retired in the middle of the sea-
son and returned to his farms where
outdoor work, the simple life cured
him of all his ailments. He was ten
dered a contract with the Giants for
1919, but declined to sign on account
of his wish to be on or near his
farm. This desire was gratifed when
Cincinnati purchased his release and
signed him.
SAL" as every one calls him, looks
to be in the pink of condition and
should be the Reds main stay this
season. At his request the Red
management secured Rariden's re-
lease, so the Giants world series bat
terry of 1917 will again be working
together. and no doubt will win many
games during the season. Sallee's
fielding record in 1918 was 1000 and
he batted .122.
