The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1921-06-23

We. overheard the remark made
that the musical numbers of this sea-
sons Chautauqua were way above
the average. and we judged that this
was the general sentiment, especially
after hearing the Adanac Quartette
on the fourth day. Mr.. Mcdonald is
Canada's most noted and popular
singer and he has selected three real
artists to complete his. quartette. 1t is
[seldome that communities of this size
have the pleasure of listening to a
musical program such as was given
by the Adanacs. 1t was not what some
class as "high-brow" but it was made
up of the classic songs and airs we
all know and love: Mr.. Mcdonald also
made a, hit with his short stories and
brought the house down with his
famous "Bbbity Bob. The real
headliner among the lecturers spoke
in the afternoon, Mr.. j. F. Connor. a
farmer from Minnesota. He Is not an
orator and not an idealist. His mes
sage contained facts and figures
founded on practical experience as
farmer. He is a strong advocate of
the Farm Bureau.
"All is we'll that ends we'll" applies
to Chautauqua, as we'll as anything
else. The Barnaby Entertainers fur
nished the. final climax. Their enter
tainment on the last evening was
unique, original and clever. The var
iety they offered showed them to be
versatile and, the. very clever stage
settings and the lighting effects add
ed much to the program. H. Richmon
Mills in his lecture in the afternoon,
showed himself to be an orator of
ability. His subject was '"The Battle
Ground of the Nation. AS pre-
lude to the afternoon program, the
Junior Chautauqua folks, under the
direction of Miss. Prehm, staged
pagent> entitled "a Mother Goose
Party.
Taken from every standpoint, the
Chautauqua this season was great
success. These five days of entertain
ment and education are worth much
TO the community They take the
mind from the worries and cares of
every day life and give inspiration
that will tighten the burdens of the
future. From this standpoint alone
the Chautauqua is worth many times
its cost to any community.

Bergdoll's Amazing Charges

Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, domi-
ciled in Baden and awaiting nat
uralization as a German citizen, has
been talking freely about the cir
cumstances Of his escape. He
makes charges which ought to inter-
est the War Department.
Bergdoll says he was assured by
counsel that his case could be re-
opened if he would agree to pro-
duce 100000. to be dishurs to
persons of influence in Washington.
He then put out the bait of gold
fund buried in the mountains of
West Virginia, and arrangements
were made somewhere to get him
leave to go and dig up his deposit.
Grover maintains that he had no
idea of giving up the 500, 900 and
intended to escape while on the way
to West Virginia.
The War Department has never
told who signed the order directing
BergdolPs release for gold-hunting
purposes. Bergdoll himself doesn't
tell who signed letter from Wash
ington to his Philadelphia attorney
giving the latter supervision of the
draft eyader's military bodyguard.
He says that by virtue Of this docu-
ment he himself became the captain
of the expedition, the attorney in
structing the two sergeants to do
whatever Bergdoll wanted them
to do.
Here are points not touched on in
the superficial inquiry SO far made
into the escape of the departments
prize Stacker. Was such a letter
written to Bergdoll's counsel, and.
if so, who signed it? Bergdoll
seems to have been well served in
the matter. If the department was
outwitted by his agents, why doesn't
it say SO?
The whole Bergdoll episode
sevors of burlesque. A ridiculous
effort was made recently to kidnap
The fugitive. 1t originated apparent
y with provost marshal officer in
the Rhine province. But General AL
len has now denied any knowledge
OF the proceeding and makes a most
amazing apology to the German
government for trespass.

edy cast? 1t is up to Secretary
Baker to make a belated ccnfesA;on

OVERRIDING the Poverty Plea

The German government insists
that 1t cannot pay the reparations
total fixed at Paris. Chancellor
Fehrenbach says that rather than
agree TO that settlement Germany
would throw up her hands and in
vite an Entente receivership.
Nobody expected that the Ger
mans would be satisfied with any
steps taken by the Allies to enforce
the treaty. Germany has cultivated
the psychology Of a bankrupt and
the manners of mendicant. 1t is
reported by Allied observers that
the German people arc much more
lightly taxed than the people of
France or Great Britain are. The
has not tried very hard
to reduce expenditure. Some Ger
man economists and industrialists
even favor huge additional enis-
sions of paper money, on the theory
hat isxisn's worth while TO try to do.

Professors Not Socialists

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: A correspondent in an article

the truth to say no college professors

true either, for there are a few

among college professors for manv
years, and as know them the prouor-
tion of Socialists among them is very
small. might compare them with

Hate the currency and increase the
exchange value of the mark.
Germany's present fiscal policy
has aimed at accentuating distress
and camouf1aging industrial recu-
peration. If the outside world can
be taken in by this appearance of
extreme destitution, SO much the bet
ter for Germany. But, as Walther
Rathenau said the other day, Ger
many's real asset is In the produc-
tive power per month and per year
of her workers. If that power is
utilized in good faith, Germany is in
no great danger Of bankruptcy.
What is the worlds view Of the
effect Of the reparations settlement
on the German situation? So far
RS exchange fluctuations testify, the
settlement has been neither mark
edly unfavorable to Germany nor
markedly favorable to the Allies. A
week ago, before the agreement was
announced, the exchange value of the
mark was 1.81 cents. On Wednes-
day it was 1.61 and yesterday 1853.
A week ago the British pound was
worth 1888. On Wednesday it was
down to S3.S5 and yesterday to
$3.841s. The French franc was
quoted at 7.16 cents a week ago, at
7.15 on Wednesday and at ITO yes
terday. These readiustments were
due, apparently, to other influences
than the reparations settlement. If
the ultra -pessimistic German view
had been accepted by the worlds
markets the mark would have fallen
much further and faster.
The real question is not whether
Germany can pay the sum demanded
of her, but whether she is willing to
go to work honestly to pay it. What
Germany is trying to hide behind is
not her poverty but her inesisposi-
tion to admit the wrong she did to
others and it's consequences.

The Unknown Soldier
Let There Be No Solemn Gush While
Agony of Neglect Persists

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: With all respect for General
Pershing, he Is wrong. We dare rot
bring home our Unknown Soldier, with
all that IL should mean to ,us, now.
Each one Of us knows instances Of the
neglect and suffering of some one Of
the men whom we sent abroad to fight
our battles and brought home again
hurt, to pay through the rest of their
lives for our safety and prosperity
The American Legion has shown us,
with proof of every statement, how
widespread and tragic this neglect has
been. Happy those few Of us who do
not feel a deep personal sense of
shame and regret for our forgetful-
ness and carelessness, which has re-
suited in the bitter agony Of our
wounded, who should have been as
dear to ua as our own kin!
While our soldiers are improperly
cared for, we dare not do this splendid
thing. To do 80 at this time would be
TO convict US again, in the eyes of the
Watchlng world, OF that sentimental
gush of which, alas, we have so often
been guilty. We have no right to that
sacred half hour of silence and prayer;
we have no right to the solemn, pas
sionate thrill it would give US. AS q
people with plain duty undone we
are not fit to receive that unknown
hero.
No, General Pershing. Let us wait
until, with our hearts purged of the
deadly sin Of ingratitude, of broken
promise, we can offer that silent
representative of our honored dead
a welcome and resting place that
would honor him.

A SO Republican for Wood
Original Member of Party Urges His
Appointment to Cabinet

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: ] am one of the few remaining
original Republicans. e., members
OF the party from its beginning in 1856,
just too young to vote for Fremont,
but voted for Lincoln both times--in
1864 from the army in the field. have
voted for every Republican President
since. Am one of the great Roosevelt
majority of our party. Was in favor
OF the nomination of Wood st the last
election, but supported and voted for
Earding-to make Republican success
sure.
am writing now to warn would-be
boss party leaders that though the
party came through with such an
overwhelming majority it does not
mean that the rank and file who sup
ply the votes are going to stand the
oldtime bossism of the Barnes w eeks
ct al. regime. If the big majority
wing Of the party-the Roosevelt wing
is to be ignored, then look out for
future retribution. If harmony and
continued supremacy are wanted, then
recognition of the strong element
Of the party must be granted.
General Wood, the personal friend
of Roosevelt, Is the representative of
this wing of the party. His extraor-
dinary abilities and special fitness for
Secretary of War are acknowledged
His shameful treatment by the present
Administration because of his politics
is well known. His strength at the
primaries showed him to be by far the
most popular man in our party. If Mr..
Harding Is the fair man he has prom
ised to be and is reputed to be he
cannot afford to turn down the popu-
lar demand for the appointment of
General Wood as Secretary of War.
With no disparagement to other
men who rendered great service DUR
ing the World War, it is now seen
chat the success of our armies in the
field was primarily due to the foresight
of General Wood in establishing two
years before we entered the war Off
GERS training camps at Plattsburg and
elsewhere, where officers were trained
and fitted to drill and command the
millions of raw men we put into the
field. This splendid work enabled US
to make soldiers out of what other
wise would have been mob and alone
made our success in the field possible.

Worse Than Starving

allowed TO have Leonard Wood in che
Cabinet when, in spite of the cry for
him for President that went up from
coast to coast, the leaders of the Re-
publican party willed it otherwise?

we have to be tolerant of such tyranny.
Second-As no American Hoover has
come forward to inspire and direct

good plan to advertise for person
with pleasing personality to stir our
people to sense OF their duty to our
own?

Kansas, the Dream State

Kansas is celebrating her sixtieth
birthday, and Will White has written
the ode for the occasion in the shape
OF an editorial in The Emporia Ga.
zette, caile9 Kansas, a Dream
State" 'In the heart of Kansas. y
ne begins, sis spiritual tuning
fork" And so on, from "setting the
key for the tunes that run through
the world" to John Brown and
Henry Aliens blueprint of indus
trial peace"
The idea is not that Kansas is
dreamy or impractical. Quite the
contrary. Her dreams lead directly
to action. They turn into blue
prints while the rest of the country
is stall snoring. As Mr.. White ac-
curately notes, the pioneer spirit is
essentially spirit of action. John
Brown struck out against slavery
while others preached and debated
Wise or foolish, he acted, and ne
rest of the country could not escape
the train of circumstances which
followed after his marching soul.
That is the splendid side of Kan
sas which the Easterner is too apt
to forget. Truth to tell, Kansas is
perhaps the most typically Ameri
can spot we possess. Is has our
New-York tribune., 1921-02-04

virtues little more intensely lived
up to than anywhere else; 1t has our
vices a little more ilagrantly ex-
hibited. The pioneers ideaissm of
wide horizons there combines with
the emotionalism Of heart that
leads too swiftly to action. If it
rises to great heights it also, as Mr..
Kipling said, leaps up ''at little
things" The highest peaks are the
Kansan's goal; but he always ex-
poets to come to them by a short
cut--which would be more Of a
tragedy we're ii not for the fact that,
by the saving grace of American
horse sense, he so often arrives.
