SAY CONVICTION OF
-. :HAGEN.'W UNFAIR

Bitter hostility and prejudice on
the part of the crowd attending the
trial of President H. ]. Hagen of
the dinavian-American Bank,
which Influenced the jury, gross
misconduct in the prosecution Of
: the case by Judge W. S. Lauder
and Albert E. Sheets, Jr., and the
misdirection of the jury in matters
Of law were charged in affidavits
presented before Judge M. j: Eng
lert at Fargo asking for new trial
Mr.. Hagen was declared guilty
by a jury Thursday of exhibiting a
false bank statement to a bank ex-
aminer following a trial lasting
nine days..
Following the application for a
new trial Judge Englert granted a
stay of execution until the applica-
tion is argued January Is.
Concerning the verdict, James
Manahan of st. Paul. counsel for
the defense. stated Thursday:
"This verdict is a travesty on JUS
tice and shows what men will
blindly do under the lash of pas
sion and prejudice. There is not
in the whole record Of the case any
testimony sustaining in the. slight
est degree this conviction. d.
'"The case never should have
been submitted to the jury on the
proof taken; but unfortunately un-
der the laws Of North Dakota a
trial Judge has no power to dismiss
a criminal case or direct verdict
no matter how clear the evidence
Of innocence may be. This is a
clear case of conviction by political
prejudice and not proof Of guilt.
"The attorneys appointed and
hired by the attorney general to
prosecute repeatedly and success
fully sought to create prejudice
against Mr.. Hagen because of his
Nonpartisan League association.
Many errors were committed. The
verdict should be set aside on many
grounds. pa: t,5:
''The conduct of the trial by the
state was unfair from the begin
ming and the surroundings of the
jury such that their minds were
not free to- do. justice. The court
room was packed with bitter poll
tical enemies Of the defendant ev-
cry day and created an atmosphere
of passion and prejudice in which
it was impossible to have fair
trial. n sg sS I q. ssl,.5 {
"If the, trial court refuses to set
this verdict aside, the case will be
taken at once to the supreme
court" u Y,

Patriotism and Provincialisna.

John Galsworthy. in the Yale Review.
We live in times when patriotism
is exalted above all other virtues, be-
cause there happen to lie before the
patriotic tremendous chances for the
display of courage and self-sacrifice.
Patriotism ever has that advantage,
as the world is now constituted; but
patriotism and provincialism are sis
ters under the skin. and they who can
only see bloom on the plumage Of
their own kind. who prefer the bad
points of their countrymen to the good
points of foreigners, merely write
themselves down blind of an eye and
panderers to herd feeling.

Most Despised Man.

From the Ohio State Journal.
There certainly was never a change
of forums so complete as that of the
kaiser. Five years ago he was on the
peak of fame and the Whole world
was afraid of him, but now the
lowest down hobo wouldn't change
places with him. He Is the most de-
spised man on earth. No man that
ever lived has done so much harm to
the human race as he. If it had not
been for him several million people
woulS be living today that are now
under the sod. A hundred thousand
homes were destroyed by him and the
weak and innocent driven from them
to horrid fates. If there was no other
death than that of Edith Cavell the
old murderer should be blown full of
bullets. 1t is to be regretted that
English law doesn't get hold of him.
In the final agreement as to the peace
among the nations it is hoped that
this old disciple of kultur and murder
can be handed over to the civil au-
thorities to be dealt with according
to law as it should be.

"CHARL|E" MURRAY HAS
WON. STAGE CONTRACT

Herbert Schall OF Philadelphia re-
Gently retired from "Y" work at G
hut.
Charles Murray was perhaps one of
the best known singers here during
the stay of the 18th Division and his
voice was heard in many Of the, z
huts In religious services and In, eflr
tertainments.
Having been brought up in a church
atmosphere, his father, Rev. G. Nose
ley Murray. being rector Of st. Bar-
tholomew's Protestant Episcopal
Church. Baltimore. many years. he
understood sacred music and sang Il
with great feeling and expression.
Friends of both men will be de-
lighted at this new opportunity for
them to be together on the stage.
Murray had considerable experiences
before the limelight before he donned
the khaki and had prominent parts In
musical comedies. His artistic edu-
cation was obtained principally in
New York.
Tall and blonde, Murray possesses
a char=ing personality. which will ap-
peal especially to vaudeville audiences
where personal appearance counts so
much. His work with the Paint and
Powder Club of Baltimore will be re-
membered favorably, as his voice even
then was strikingly beautiful
Mr.. Schall is a Philadelphian and his
work in the 'Y" here of nearly year
was such as to win commendation
from the best judges, especially mu-
sicians.

live AS IF YOU HAD
DONE THOSE THINGS"
Lieut.. Aurandt, Morale Officer, Ad-
vises Men Leaving Camp About
Future Conduct.

One of the fine things which the
Army has done for the soldiers has
been the kind of advice which has
been meted out to them by the Off
GERS of the morale section. The 18th
Division has been peculiarly .fortu-
nate in this respect in having Lieut..
Aurandt as morale officer, and his
parting address to the discharged men
is, in part, as follows, after he had
called attention to the need for re-
specting officers as long as the uni
form Is worn:
Men, you owe 1t to your wives.
sweethearts and future children to
keep your bodies clean. You owe it
to yourselves. 1t is true that we are
all human, and that our passions
sometimes tempt us, but If you will
reason with yourself and use your
will power to overcome that de-
sire, in future years the reward will
be yours. Lead CLEAN lives, have
clean thoughts, choose your compan-
ions, and don't lower yourselves to
the level of the men who don't care.
Don't spend your money foolishly and
become a public charge. Save your
money and spend wisely. little ex-
preston 1 once heard will be good
spending today Remember, men,
when the opportunity comes for you
to climb the ladder of success you
may need a few dollars to give you
that start, so take this little tip-save
as well as spend.

Clothes do not make the man. That is
very true, but 1t. does made good ap-
pearance and shows the good qualities
in a man. Therefore. when you wear
the uniform take little pains and keep
1t neat, shine your shoes. wash your
1eggins, brush your hat and keep your
self in an inspection. condition. You
men all know how you used to brush up
for Saturday inspection. See that you
a good deal to you. When you apply
for a position, the man who employs
you will look over your general appear
ance, and II you are neatly dressed, 1t
will make q good impressin and the
chances are you will land the job. On
the other. hand, If you are not shaved,
your shoes dirty, .legginks not washed
or present a. sloppy appearance he will
not care to hire you. He will feel that
II you do not take care Of yourself you
cannot take care of Job. Remember,
men, a good appearance makes a good
impression. and a good impression may
mean a good job.
''You have matchless opportunity
and you have risen to the heights of

you, IL you realize half of what your
actions have accomplished. Be patient.

RE-ENTERS 4PA. STATE"
AS ARMY CAPTAIN
Harold F. Butler, Intelligence OF.
cef;-Resigns-To Finish His
College Course.

1t was with keen disappointment
that the friends of Capt. Harold F..
Butler, division intelligence officer,
told him goodbye yesterday. He
returned at once to Pennsylvania
State College, a military school, and
will complete his course which he
was pursuing when he enlisted i'm
the service at the Niagara training
camp for officers in 1917. He is TWEEN
ty-five years old.
He was given a commission in Au-
gust and was sent to Meade, wherel
he became assistant adjutant in the.
Depot Brigade. gaining a first lieu
tenancy in January. 1918. He did
excellent work there, and when the
10th Division left for France he was
brought to camp headquarters by
Brig. Gen. Joseph A. CASTOR and
made intelligence officer, with the
rank of captain.
A Fine officer.
Those who were thrown with the
captain liked him and admired his
department, which was one of the
most important connected with the
division. He had to see that the
military authorities were supplied
with the requisite information about
the running of the camp, and he had
to supply the public through the
newspaper men with the news of the
troops. or that part of it which was
available for publication.
The fine discrimination which the
captain exercised in these matters
won him commenda tion from the
high authorities. and he became one
Of the most popular officers in Meade.

piece of bravery. For a long time
he had been directing the construc-
