WASHINGTON NEWS LETTER
nv PARKER LaMOoRE)

Representative o. B. Burtness, first
district, is disappointed by the lack of
interest shown by North Dakota
youths in failing to take advantage
az the opportunities offered them in
the. United States academies at An

whole state as well. Yet that the
condition is a local one is apparent
since appointments allotted to eastern
states are eagerly sought after. In
fact congressman from New Jersey
recently told Mr.. Burtness that he
WAS compelled to hold elimination ex-
aminations in his district before he
was able to certify for appointment
those best qualified for the openings.
Appointments to West Point and An
napolis are made in the spring of each
year and Representative Burtness
hopes to have so stimulated interest
a1long the youths Of Bis district by
the coming spring that there will be
sufficient number Of applicants
available to fill his quota in both
schools.
The whole difficulty seems to be
one Of misunderstanding upon the
part of North Dakota boys. In the
east aspiring candidates usually take
special work at preparatory schools,
Of which their are several in Wash
ington and the vicinity, in order to
better prepare themselves for en-
is really not necessary since any first
class high school offers the required
course and if boys considering such a
step would first ascertain just what
work should be taken there should be
but little difficulty in meeting the
qualifications. Any data of this ma
ture may be had by writing to any of
the North Dakota congressman or
ingly supply the information desired.
Then, too, aside from the lack of
adequate preparation there seems to
just what the United States acade-
cation advantages. Many are doubt
fits one for military or naval career

So is Senator Weller, of Maryland,
recently elected to the Senate as a
Republican, and a leading business
man of his home city of Baltimore.
West Pointers have shown equal ver-
satility.
Nowadays appointments to West
Point and Annapolis are made prac-
tically upon merit alone and no poll
ticl pull is necessary for a boy to
secure an appointment if he can
show better qualifications than other
aspirants. Of course the early bird
is naturally the one who has the best
opportunity for consideration but in
any event the fellow who has the
goods is bound to be a serious con-
tender. Since the government pro-
vides students with sufficient spend
ing money while in attendance at the
schools, the matter Of finances does
not need to be a consideration. If
boy can get to his school and satisfy
the entrance requirements his trou-
bles are over.
A visit to either of the academies
is treat in itself. Both institutions
are admirably situated and are equip,
ped with every facility of convenience.
Athletics are given much emphasis,
in addition to the regular routine of
drill and classroom activities, and
both schools are democratic to an
extreme. 1t is fact of some inter-
est that a son of Josephus Daniels
resigned from Annapolis because he
was unable to make the grade at the
very time that his father was Secre-
tary of the Navy and the nominal
head of the school.

care, moves grimly past, ever in
brown study, and glancing neither to

thoughts are one may only speculate.
It is possible that far off down on the
plain he is still conscious Of the
farmers program" which he once
expounded in North Dakota and that
now and then he looks thoughtward
towards Bismarck and wishes his old
friends well. And then again he may
be formulating plans that, upon
reaching their maturity, will cause
the moneylords Of Wall Street to
quake and shudder in their boots. But
since he is silent only the event will
tell the tale.

Walter w. Liggett, who in the
early days Of the Nonpartisan League,
occupied box stall fronting on the
Townleyized feed-trough in North
Dakota, has become prominent tig-
ure about the environs of the Capitol.
1t will be recalled that Mr.. Liggett
came to Washington retaining dur
able string upon the North Dakota
cash box and for time he proudly
exhibited his cards bearing the in
scription, deputy immigration Com
missioner of North Dakota" At the
time the presence OF such an official
here excited some little curiosity for
about the only people who leave
Washington once they have tasted Of
the spell of offoicialdom are the con-
gressional lame ducks who fall by the
wayside every two years. And usual
ly such an exodus is not an exodus at
all. For ex-congressmen once accus-
toned to Washington seem to like to
linger on and certain it is that Wal
ter never exactly persuaded any Of
the has-been statesmen to take up
their sojourn in North Dakota in
spite Of the "New Day" and other
luminous attractions. This was even
true of our own John M. Baer who is
still here, more or less, doing cartoon
ing. And this in spite of the fact that
John M. threatened to return to the
state if his constituents did not give
him back his seat in congress.
But Walter w. Liggett is no longer
an unknown and obscure "Deputy
Commissioner Of immigration" He
may still cherish warm spot in his
heart for his cohorts in Dakota but
he has found his place on the noun
tain top now and is full-hedged lob
byist. Before congressional commit
tees the redoubtable Walter is very
much in evidence for he is now
spokesman for many leagues" and
organizations, and, to Judge from his
tone, at least, of the inarticulate mil
lions as well. The other day before
Senate committee he attacked the
sales-tax proposal with such ardent
vehemence as to call forth long ar
ticle of commentator from the New
York Call, the organ Of the Socialists,
and in circles Of liberalism he is fast
making name for himself.
In a way, Liggett looks as much
like lobbyist as do the carefully
groomed defendants of the sugar cor
porations and the dye trust. He is
never without his gold-headed cane
and the well-tailored tweed that COW
ers his six-foot frame is quite of the
accepted cut and cloth. But over it
all there is an atmosphere both grim
and foreboding. Unlike his colleagues,
Walter never smiles, and when he
speaks it is with the tone and gusto
Of man with a mailed fist up his
sleeve. People watching him pass
down the Capitol corridors often sniff
the stilted atmosphere and wonder
just who he is, but Liggett, with that
air Of unconscious Indifference so fire.
