Unfair to Mr.. Dempsey.
st. Adams Messenger.

Mr., Dempsey, Vermont's new commits
siOner of education, ought to be left out
of the impending discussion relative to
teacher training in Vermont. Let's set
tie one thing first and not get into a
complicated situation from which there
will be little chance of escape without
disrupting our whole educational Sys-
tem.-Barre Times.
Mr.. Stearns of johnson. leader of the
fight to restore the normal schools at
Johnson and Castleton. did a marked in
Justice to Commissioner of Education
Dempsey when. by inference. he accused
the commissioner of putting out paid
propaganda because some of the news
papers of the state carried a legislative
story to the effect that in some quarters
it was believed that the cutting down of
the salary of the commissioner was n
part of the. normal school strategy to get
rid of Dempsey and put DIR. Collins of
Middlebury in his place.
Commissioner Dempsey had no more
idea that that despatch was to be writ
ten than did Mr.. Stearns himself. OF
this the Messenger has absolute knowl-
edge and proof. Mr.. Stearns has shown
some considerable capacity to fall into
such errors, which, as they become
known must inevitably effect the quail
ity of leadership. Take his pitching in
to the commissioner for showing at the
public hearing that Nermont's normal

ferior by one test at least. to the normal
schools maintained in the. black belt in
the southern states.
Mr.. Stearns assumes to be offended by
what he inaccurately calls Mr. Demp-
sey's comparison of the Vermont normal
schools with the ''nigger schools in the
South. The public might just as well
know as not that Mr. Dempsey never
used the word "nigger. That is a part
of Mr.. Stearnss striving for effect As
for Mr.. Dempsey's telling the state Just
where the former normal schools did
stand The Messenger believes he did a
distinct and commendable service which
must have been disagrceable to him.

mental system, and especially when |
say what l have got to say during the
evening about some of the demagOgic
rats who. for the last u years. have
been nibbling away at the foundations
of constitutional government in the
United States, / hope my lady friends
will make the proper interpretations, al
though l cannot express myself fully in
my speech. . .. ..s- 1884,
In later reference to those whom he
described as rats nibbling at the con-
stitutiOn of the government, General
Dawes said
These men who appeal to our preju-
dices instead of our reason. these men
who would raise popular excitement rail
against the wealth and power and Wall
street and all of the DOGGY men so famil-
lar to you all, let me give them a piece
of raw meat with a little glass in it.
Il tell you that Il man who endeavors
to make it difficult for the next preSi-
dent of the United States to call the
very best business men he can get into
service like Edward II. Stettinius, for
instance. from the office of ]. =. Morgan
& Co, is just as much of a traitor to his
country as a man who in time of war,
when the interests of the country and
its life are at stake, would rail against
front because it would make the little
runt jealous.
The nearest approach to profanity of
General Dawes was made in a proper
sense when he referred briefly TO the
Irish situation as follows:
And now let me say one other word,
which isn't the usual thing for the dem
agoguc to say, but in closing | am going
to say it as an American on this Irish
American question. But dangerous as
the demagOgue is in our domestic af-
fairs. he is no less dangerous in our in
ternational relations. 1t was not the
fault of the great English people that
the Creator placed the island of Ireland
as a military buckler before their very
heart. and it was not the fault of the
great Irish people that they were born
on that island.
THE problem of their relation as i'm
posed by the Creator Himself upon these
people, wherein the heart of one is the
desire to achieve independence and in the
heart of the other the desire to preserve
it. must be settled by them and by them
alone.
May God make the great English peo-
pie Just and cOnsiderate; may God make
the Irish people Just and reasonable; but
may God damn the American demagogue
of whatever nationality he may be. who,
for political reasons, seeks to stir up
strife between the two great English
speaking nations, in whose joint hands
rests the ark of the covenant of human
freedom and the cause of civilization for
ages to come. This is not profanity ::
it Is prayer

truth hurt Mr.. Stearns so deeply that he
moved to east public aspersion on the
man who dareS to give utterance to it?
Or is his local pride so offended that he
has lost his sense of Judgment and pro
portion? Even though. in Mr.. Stearns' s
mind, 1t may mean treason to the state.
the Messenger believes that the children
of Vermont, who are training to become
teachers. are entitled to something better
than = training plant that is inferior to
those furnished to the Negro children in
the South. and the fact that reports of
the United States government. as quoted
by MIR. Dempsey, show that our normal
schools were thus inferior is proof
enough for this paper that the state Of
Vermont cannot afford and ought to be
ashamed to try to continue schools such
as were maintained at Johnson and

General Dawes, who is threatened with

The president must put the plan up
in such a distinct and comprehensive
shape that the people of this country can
unite in their sentiment behind IT and
override the selfish interests which from
the beginning to the end will attempt to
block it, he asserted.

this unified command, and credit for it
was given in large measure to General
Pershing, who was one of the guests of

JOSEPH j. BINDER DIES
AT BALTIMORE HOSPITAL
Was Apparently Convalescing
When End Came Suddenly.
Injured September 30.

Mf. and Mrs. Ignatz Binder, promi-
nent residents of West Newton town
ship for many years, received a tele-
gram, Friday forenoon, from Balti-
more, Maryland, containing the sad
news that tn Ill son, Joseph j. Binder,
had passed away suddsnly at a hospital
there, where he had been receiving
medical and surgical attention for
severe burns which he sustained,
September 80, in Baltim ore looming
house, when clothing, which he was
q gaming with gasoline, caught fire.
He Jumped to saf,tyl from window
and the flames in<<his clothes were
smothered by a boy If 10 years with
bed blanket.
Every day since recovering from the
worst effects of his person the young
man had written letter to his folks
in West Newton, stating that he was
improving rapidly and would soon be
all right again. His last letter, written
Tuesday of last week, was received by
his parents on the same morning that
the telegram announcing his sudden
death reached them. 1t is believed
that an infection resulted from the
grating of new skin to his lower lin bs,
which were badly burned, and that
this infection caused his death.
Deceased was born in West Newton
township, February 27, 1900. After
| com pleting his common school educa-
ton, he attended the New Ulm high
school, graduating with the Class of
! 1918. Later he entered the University
of Minnesota and last September he
went to Baltimore to enroll as stu
dent in Johns Hopkins University.
Besides his sorroWing parents, de-
ceased leaves one brother, Bernard w.
Binder at home, and two sisters, Miss
Josephine Binder, at home, and Mrs.
Paul ]. Vetter of Kasota, to n. .ourn his
demise.

Prospects for Amnesty.

The signing of the Peace Treaty
with Germany, the convening of the
Armaments Conference and the ap-
proach of the Christmas holidays,
have given new impetus to the hopes
and activities of the various organiza
tions interested in the release Of
political prisoners.
The national convention of the
World War Veterans adopted a me-
mortal to President Harding and sent
delegation of thirty members, in
Guiding four Medal of Honor men, to
Washington in the interest of Amnesty.
The Civil Liberties Union secured an
interview with the President and CO.
operated with the World War Veterans
in picketing the Armaments Con-
ference.
The Illinois Debs Freedom Con-
ference is particularly active and the
representatives. from Illinois are being
made to understand that organized
labor in that state is united to man,
in the demand for general amnesty.
Bertha Hale White, the represent
ative Of the Socialist party at Wash
ington, reports that the sentence Of
Emil Herman, serving a ten-year
sentence at McNeil's Island, has been
commuted to expire on December 23,
and the case against Rose Pastor
Stokes has been dismissed. The fol-
lowing extracts are from the last report
received:
"While greatly disappointed over
the failure Of their hopes for general
amnesty for Thanksgiving, amnesty
workers in Washington are much en-
couraged over the reports that have
been received Of cabinet meeting, at
which President Harding devoted the
greater part Of the session to the sub
iect of political prisoners. This meet.

Hospatahty.

New Ulm has for many years en-.
joyed an enviable reputation as one
of the most hospita BILE cities in Mime
sota-a reputation, the foundation OF
which was laid through the untirine
efforts of the city's pioneer residents,
and which represents the expenditure
of considera money and the devo-
ton of much time and work on the
part of those who never tired in boost
ing the city.
The stranger was always welcome
within our gates and special efforts
were made to show him that his
presence here was agreeable, but, ap-
parently, things are changing have
changed, in act,-and of late it seems
that a certain few residents Of the city
have taken it upon themselves to op-
pose in every way possible, any strang-
er who does not carry all Of his super
fuous dollars into their Golfers.
AS an instance of this apparent
change in the measure and manner OF
hospitality accorded to strangers who
cone to New Ulm and try to help our
city in every way possible, the case Of
Jay E. Gould, until Thursday pro-
prietor of the Crystal Theatre here,
can be cited. Mr.. Gould came here
some five months ago and took charge
of a moving picture house that was
practically closed up. Through his
untiring efforts and at a great none
tary sacrifice, he succeeded in building
this theatre up to one OF the most
popular playhouses in this section OF
the state. He provided free enter
tainrent for the children every Satur-
day afternoon, took great pride in
presenting only pictures of the highest
class, which had good educational
value, and maintained an orchestra
second to none in Southern Minnesota
both as to musical ability and
character of its members. He was a
booster for everything that helped to
build up and progress the city.
All of this, seemingly, was forgotten,
like the passing of dream, by certain
would-be patriotic citizens, who
bounded Mr.. Gould and tried to put
him Sin bad,' to use a slang lexpres
sion, in every possible way. A less
determined man would probably have
lost all respect and confidence for oul
citizens, but he does not hold the bust,
ness men and citizens generally re-
.sponsible for the rash and deliberate
actions cf few, and departed from
New Ulm with still warm spot in his
heart for our city and its people.
Many of our responsible business
men resented the thoughtless treat
n.ent accorded Mr.. Gould and statec
to representative of the Review thai
they were indeed sorry it had happen
ed. One and all expressed confidence
in Mr.. Gould's absolute honesty anc
integrity and stated that they woule
back him to the limit, if necessary
They also regretted his departure, as
he proved himself thorough-goine

other great nations represented at the
Armaments Conference. In no other
country were convictions had upon
such insufficient evidence. The men
in prison in this country today were
sentenced solely for the expression OF
opinion. And in no other country
were the sentences so long or the re-
view of the cases so inexclusably de-
layed.
ct is understood that each case is
to be acted upon separately, but the
report that the greater part Of the
politicals will be released by Christ
mas is considered to be authoritative.
1t is confidently believed that Eugene
". Debs will be the first of the prison
ers to be released.
st have had number of interviews
with Mr.. James A. Finch, the pardons
attorney of the Department of Justice,
and presented arguments for the re-
lease of the prisoners. From what he
has said, I do not find it possible to
hope for any sweeping decree of am
nesty, He was very ready to discuss
individual cases and seemed greatly
interested in the story of the prisoners
from Oklahoma now incarcerated at
Leavenworth. He took list of their
notes upon the cruel hardships of their
helpless dependents and promised to
give me, if possible, some definite
statement regarding them next Satur-
day.
Through Meyer London, Socialist
Congressman from New York, the
amnesty memorials presented to the
President by the World War Veterans
and the committee of Congressional
Medal of Honor men were read before
the House of Representative and will
become part of the Congressional
record. Although the House was rush
ing through it's work in order to adjourn
today, Congressman London's time
was twice extended and he was thus
enabled to speak in favor of the action
proposed by the World War Veterans.
cit was the intention of Senator
Ladd of Nebraska to read the mem
orials in the Senate today, but owing
to the pressure of legislation he was
unable to do so. The Senate stands
adjourned to December 5. 1t is
probable that Senator Ladd will bring
up the question of amnesty early in
the coming session"
Since the formal signing 'of the
Peace Treaty there lis no shadow Of
excuse for further delay. In view of
the reported assurances given by the
administration, it is reasonable to ex-
pect the early review Of these cases
and the release of at least a large
number of the political prisoners.
Failing to do so will convict the
President and his advisers of having
been deliberately misleading in their
assurances to various committees and
delegations and of having betrayed the
confidence of millions of citizens who,
relying on the statements issued in
Washington, have confidently expected
the release of the political prisoners at
this time.
