Pennsylvania Germans in Dickinson
What This Fine Home Making Element
Has Done for the County.
By J. H. ENGLE

The plan Of holding a reunion as
an anniversary recognition OF the
Hmmigrn ton here forty years ago OF
the "River Brethren Colony" as 1t
was called, makes pertinent some re-
view of what the Pennsylvania
Germans have done to build up and
develop Dickinson county.
At break of day, Friday morning,
March %, 1879. after a somewhat
aneventful three days. journey on
chartered coaches this largest single
immigration of Pennsylvania Ger
mans in the county's history, arriv-
ed at Abilene. They were a group
Of plainly garbed, quiet hammered,

cherished by all who love idealism
and answering integrity and the
generation of blacks to whom he
helped open the door of hope in
Africa. Secure in the admiring ar
fection of the entire county, wheth-
er through his visits to every c0un-
try school, or through his service in
the county high school In the vital
stages OF its early history, or through
the Y. NJ G. A. work of the country
and the state, or through his later
propaganda seeking homes for home
less childhood, is the name Of David
+. Shirk.
The new generation Is strong and
ambitious and he who lives to wit
ness their maturing dreams may ne
privileged to add to these simple an
mails new pages radiant with tales OF
courage and OF new order of hero
ism and service. 1t would be sad
day should they ever forget to as
cribe due praise and credit to the
sturdy band OF men and women
who as pioneers have sought to serve
both God and man with conscience
and fidelity. May the new genera
sion live many happy day to re-
count, as here today, their experience
and to renew their vows Of neigh
borliness and citizenship.

For the dialect is doomed. The
public school, and the press, and the
pulpit, will dissipate it within the
present century In Pennsylvania and
within the present generation in
Dickinson county. And along with
the dialect will also go the pie from
the breakfast table, the sumptuous
funeral dinner, the last vistige OF
social exclusiveness--and Baer's
family almanac which for more than
a century recorded the signs of the
zodiac and the phases Of the moon
for the convenience Of my super
stitious gardener and farmer friends.
A Cosmopolitan County.
Probably no agricultural county in
Kansas contains a more cosmopoli-
tan population than Dickinson with
its communities of Irish centering at
Solomon, Chapman and Banner, the
Scotch in Hope and Lyon townships.
the Scotch Canadians on Holland
and Mud Creeks, the Swedes in Cen
ter and Rhinehart, the Swiss and
Germans along Lyons and Turkey
creeks, Russian Germans at Herring
ton and along the Marion county
border, the Mexican camps at Abi-
lene, Herington, and other railroad
points, and the negroes chiefly at
the county seat-not to mention the
scattered yankees" affording a so

airy form or content, 1t is a delusion
and snare. II is the vehicle of
thought for somewhat unlettered
and unpoetic people. The keen cut
ting edge of Greek Is wanting. The
warmth and charm and lit of the
Latlnesque languages is not there.
The diversity and precision of Eng
lish is lacking while the literary
German from which 1t Is popularity
presumed to have emanated far sur
passes 1t in statellness and dignity.
Iinguistically 1t is the English top
hat caved In, the French rose mashed
fiat and robbed of its perfume, de-
serving Of no literary honors except
as 1t has proved adequate to make
love in, to discipline the children In,

this makeshift. misshapen dialect

among the playthings Of language

and the social and economic muta-
tions have transferred the blood and
to good degree effaced the varied
languages and manners. The coun-
ty has become on Its own modest
scale. melting pot OF the nations.
Waves Of Migration.
Three normal stages mark the mi
grafton into new country. First
the adventurer, the prospector, the
hunter, the frontiersman, the gun
toter. After him, the homesteader,
and finally a class that buys the land
with Its meagre improvements and
establishes homes and the perma-
nent institutions of organized society.
The Pennsylvania German is temper
amentally of the third class. He
lacks the native dexterity to fire or
dodge a bullet. Campfires and prair-
ie schooners and border privations
and frontier novelty do not attract
him He is a home builder, farm
er for the most part. to whom per-
manency and domestic stability
strongly appeal.
Contributions to Society.
In the learned professions the
Pennsylvania German has not failed
to supply his fair quota. In medi-
cine the names of Felty, Wilmer,
Gish, Schenberger and Rhinehart
may testify. In the ministry we
have had the Stauffers-Reformed
and Lutheran, besides a score of un-
lettered men some of whom are
achieving results with simple, ma
tive eloquence that persuades and
wins. School work recalls the
names of Shirk and Niesley and
scores of other teachers among them
some of the best the county has.
Politics for Few
In politics very few have aspired
and fewer still have attained. I'M
Pennsylvania they make governors
Of their Brumbaughs. In Indiana
they send their Kerns and their
Schiveleys to the United States Sen
ate and promote their Lands (Kene-
saw Mountain) to the federal bench.
in Kansas they grace the
bench as with Fisher at Kansas City,
S wartz in Cowley, Fouts at lola, and
at Russell but with our
Rughs and our Rogers the judicial
ermfne may yet find hospitable
shoulders In Dickinson.

Business for Later Years.
Business opportunities have been
embraced by many of the second
generation while some Of the first
comers have themselves notably sue
ceeded.
The Belle Springs Creamery Com
pany, organized at Donegal in 1886
is case in point with an initial bust
ness Of $4,000 the first year, grew
to $1,5OO,OO0 last year and more
than S2O,OO0,OOO for the 33 years
Of its history. The produce company
a mere side-line, handles annually
some 200 carloads, mainly the out
put Of Dickinson county poultry.
Besides, there is scarcely a line OF
business nor a business block at the
county seat that does not contain
successful representatives OF the
Pennsylvania element.
But, the farm and the dairy Is
where the Pennsylvania German
shines. He has the strong body and
the patient industry and the relig-
ious temperament requisite to sue
cess in agricultural pursuits.

FOOTBALL FANS
AT BELT TODAY
B. 4 M. and Lehigh Teams Will
Play for State HOnOrs
and Cup.

Members of the b. & NJ. smelter
Soccer Football team will go to Belt
today and play the fast Lehigh aggre-
cation in the final game for the season
to determine the state championship and
who shall be awarded the cup trophy
donated by the Standard Furniture
company. The furniture company made
the arrangements for the. game, Bel.
being neutral ground. Russell, of Klein,
will referee and it is believed his reputa-
ton assures the players and fans his
work will be satisfactory to all.
This game has been hanging fire for
several weeks. Both teams are un-
usually strong football elcyens and
there is an intense rivalry between
them, the last contest played by them
having gone two extra time periods and
then it concluded with tie.
A few weeks ago the B. & NJ. boys
issued a challenge to the Lehigh team
to play at Belt. This was not accepted
for the date the g. Il NJ. boys designated
and the Standard Furniture company
was then called upon to make the ar
rangements and decided the game should
be played at Belt this afternoon.
Members of the B. & NJ. team will
meet at the Park hotel corner at II noon
and will board a motor bus for Belt. The
II. & M. lineup will be as follows: Goal,
Howarth; right back, Solomon: left back.
Cottrell: right half back, Dill: center
half back, Mcclure; left half back,
Gonser; right forward, Larson; left for
ward. SwitZer; center forward, Smythe
left forward. Cameron: left forward,
Gross; spares, MacRae and McLaren.
