L|NCOLN-DOUGLAs
DEBATE REPRODUCED
At HISTORIC FETE
Famous Defamation of Ga
Years Ago Revived on
Anniversary.

Freeport, H., Aug. 26.-(By The AS
sociated Press. Lincoln and Douglas
lived again in Freeport Saturday night.
On high stage erected near the scene
of their famous debate of 1858, char
acters in the historic political declama-
ton of 81 years ago appeared. Beside
Lincoln, who was impersonated by the
Rev. John r, Pickells, Episcopal rec
tor, and Dougles, impersonated by
Stephen A. Douglas of Freeport, who
claims kinship to the little giant"
other characters impersonated were
Colonel Thomas j. Turner, republican
moderator of the debate of 1858; Col
onel James Mitchell, democratic mod
orator. and Robert r. Hit, afterward
member of congress- who took steno-
graphic report of the Lincoln Douglas
debate.
The pageant was preceded by a pa
rade in which were girls representing
the 81 states of the Union in 1853 and
characters representing Kansas and
Nebraska, states in which turmoil over
slavery ragged in days of Lincoln and
Douglas, together with mounted her
aids, mounted escort, pages and other
attendants.
Ox-carts and other ancient vehicles
creaked their way along the thorough
fares to the boulder marking the site of
the debate. The procession passed
down Stephenson street past the his
toric Brewster house hostelry, at which
Lincoln and Douglas were guests GA
years ago, and where Senator Pat Har-
rison of Mississippi and Karl G..
Schuyler of Denver, who participated in
Saturdays debate were being enter
tanned.
A crowd estimated at $4,000 heard
the debate at Taylor park Saturday be-
tween Senator Harrison and Mr.
Schuyler, who discussed the issues Of
the day.

'CUMM|NS DRAFTING LAWS
| TO AUTHORIZE PRESIDENT
TO ACT IN AN EMERGENCY
Harding Not to Exercise Extreme Authority Ex-
cept in Case of Industrial Crisis, Report; Pre-
paredness Plan Said to Have Approval of
Republican Leaders; Borah Bill Is Attacked.

Associated Press. = Although con-
gress is to be asked to authorize gov
ernment operation of railroads and
coal properties, President Harding has
told his advisers that he will exercise
| the authority thus granted only in case
| OF an eventual industrial crisis which
he does not now foresee.
| Despite the apparent deadlock In
| both the rail and anthracite strikes,
! the president is described as still con-
fideat a way will be found to pro-
tect the interests of the general public
without resort to governmental di-
| rection, in both industries.
In the meantime, however, Mr.
| Harding is said to consider it ex-
tremely advisable that if congress is
to recess, it first clearly define his
powers to act, and legislation looking
to that end is being prepared for sub
mission at the capital early next week.
This policy of preparedness, emerg
Ing from another day of inquiry and
consultation by administration Off
cials, was received with manifesto
tons of approval among many of the
minority leaders in congress, but was
followed by evidence of reluctance
among others to go further than is
provided in the industrial investiga
ton and control legislation already
pending in both houses.
In every move they made to advance
the pending legislation itself during
the day, congressional leaders met
with opposition and delay, although
they remained confident that in the
end all the emergency measures intro
duced with administration backing
would be enacted into law. Their
plans for bringing the government
operation authorization into the gem
eral program of strike legislation at
the beginning of next week were not
complete, however, and it was indi-
Gated that further consultation would
be necessary TO whip the whole
scheme into shape.
Borah Bill Attacked
In the senate, the Borah bill for
fact-finding commission in the coal
industry, similar TO one already passed
by the house, met with such pro-
longed attacks that it finally was
agreed to lay it aside entirely until
d vote has been taken on the bonus
bill, probably late Tuesday. Provision
in the measure for an inquiry into the
of Matchmaking the in
dustry was one of the features against
which the most stubborn opposition
was directed.
Meantime in the senate interstate
committee a second admin
measure proposing to create
a coal distribution agency and to ex-
tend the authority of the I. C.. c. |
over priority of shipments failed of
the immediate approval hoped for by
the republican leaders and further |
was postponed until |
Monday.

Us, WILL HELP GERMANY
WHEN RIGHT TIME COMES,
SAYS MACMILLAN HARDEN
Laxity of Berlin Government, Acknowledgment
ialist Movement and Attitude of France in
Reparations Prevents America From Moving
to Rescue Now, He Declares; Scores Wirth.

I That the dollar buys 1,40O marks
That prices are rising heavenward
with wages increasing tremendously
that it is necessary to have notes
printed day and night at the Reichs
bank so that state and town budgets
will not break down causes the middle
classes, especially brain workers, to
tremble in thinking of the coming
winter. All this was not caused by the
| failure of the London conference or the
postponement of the asked-for mora
torium by unfriendly Paris. but by
tardy recognition of the inevitable de-
feat in the greatest, most cruel and
costliest war in history and by the
careless policy of an inadequate ad-
ministration waiting in idle hesitation
while cursing the French and whining
to the last because of wrong idea
of reparations exacted
Poincare is a lawyer and a stubborn
constitutionalist and will not move a
hairs breadth from the position out
lined by the parliament majority. He
believes that he ought not to disarm
Germany's monarchist nationalist
movement while the present German
republican government continues the
study of Rapallo. Tchitcherin's anti
French speeches favOring the beliefs
that the mOnarchist general, Won Zeckt,
is about to conclude an offensive alli-
ance with Trotsky, whose visit to Ber-
lin soon is announced. Instead of
seeking facts of others, which is a bad
German habit, we must first admit our
own mistakes. Why suppress the fact
that before the Rapallo bomb, limita-
ton of the Rhine occupancy was pos
sible? Poincare, speaking to the Ger
man ambassador, said that Germany
must pay reparation losses to civil
ians not on the military pensions. Why
is Germany's misfortune attributed to
the Versailles treaty which has not
been executed? Why is the fact sup
pressed that all French circles desire
an understanding and economic collabo-
ration with Germany today?
Why is this? Because the national
ist terror hinders almost everybody
from daring to utter word that would
bring understanding to the French
mind. Wirth always is meaning to full
fill the desired terms but cannot so
he calls to the world:
"Germany's on her death bed" and
wonders then why there is no response
from badly libeled lands. 1t is true
that Germany is not recovering her
export trade, but her people, who sup
port themselves plentifully with agri-
Cultural pursuits, will live and with
France, will seek new humble type of
European economy from our own
strength. When that time comes
Americans help will be unfailing.
The real service which the great re-
public is unable to give today will
come. l recognize that today more
than ever justice begins at home.

BATTLESHIP FRANCE, PRIDE
OF FRENCH NAVY, SINKS AS
She STRIKES ROCK; 3 LOST

LOrient, France, Aug. 26.-(By The
Associated Press. THE battleship
France, $4,000 tons, one of the prides
of the French navy, struck a rock off
Quiberon bay in the darkness of early
morning Saturday and went to the bot
tom in rs feet of water.
All but three of the 900 officers and
men in the crew were rescued from
RATS and life boats launched from the
battleship before she took her final
plunge.
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1921-current, 1922-08-27

The wrecked warship was one of
four French battleships of the first
line, returning from night maneouvers
to anchorage at Port Haliguen, when
at l o'clock in the morning she ran
onto hidden rock 25 feet below the
surface. A great cash was torn in the
steel hull of the dreadnaught.
She remained afloat an hour, giving
the crew enough time for escape in
boats. Then the doomed craft slowly
settled, turned on her side, and went
down. She lies on the bottom and is
considered a total wreck.

despite aroused German hopes

will be remedied and that then

For the second time in little more
than month. daring thieves la-,
MINT visited the fern1yard OF Ezekiel

md stole n fine large turkey gobbler.
weighing between rs and 30 pounds.
from It's perch on the roof OF n poultry
house. A large turkey hen was stolen
about month ago in r. similar man
ner.
A number Of deprcdations have been
committed in the neigh borhood OF
F'arnhurst during the past few months
and residents OF that section are
thoroughly aroused. and are making
every effort 10 have the persons re-
sponsihle punished. Some time ago
ono OF. the culprits OF that vicinity
was apprehended through the efforts
OF resident from whom he had
stolen and is now serving a term in

Mr.. Cooper feels positive that he
knows who the thief is who visited his
place last night. Upon reporting the
robbery to the police today he fur
nished number OF clues which will
most likely bring about the miscre-

not stranger in the neighborhood
and used his familiarity 10 good ad-
vantage.
The Cooper family motored 70 this

The last time a turkey was stoler
from the flock on the Cooper farm
the thief was given a good tusele b,
the watchdog and the noise awakene,

gun ready for such emergencies
fired several times In the direction O

time made his escape.
The turkeys usually spend tn

and when thus situated are ont n
