Out) and his Masonic Affiliations
helped win for him the position of
postmaster general Of the colonies and
later it smoothed his path when he
went to England on his first diplo-
matte mission there.
1t was even more valuable when he
was sent to France to enlist French
aid for the colonies during the Revo-
luton. Through the Masons he had
access to the newspapers which were
officially controlled by the govern
ment, but which were really written
by the Masons and the philosophers,
such as Morellet, Suard, De la Dix
merle, who were all Franklin's friends"
says Fay. practically all OF the
French newspapers published outside
of France were in the hands Of the
Masons Also Franklin had his writ
ings accepted by all Of these and, be-
ing the master propaganda that he
was, he made the most Of his oppor-
tunity to present Americas cause to
Europe.
The career Of Benjamin Franklin
is one of the strangest paradoxes in.
history. One Of them is that this son
of a poor Boston candlemaker and
apprentice to poor printer should
live to record the fact that "Tho' I
did not think that should ever lit
orally stand before kings I
have stood before five, and even had
the honor Of sitting down with. one,
the King Of Denmark, to dinner" An
other is the fact that man who was
almost entirely self-educated should
have universities of two continents
vying, with each other in comforting
upon him honorary degrees.
But most interesting of all is the
fact that this man who was so typi-
cally American that he became YER
table symbol of America, even In his
lifetime, was never understood or
loved by his own people. He was dis
liked intensely by the ''best families"
of Pennsylvania and was distrusted by
many others in the colonies as char
latan and trimmer. The distrust In
Pennsylvania Is easily understood. He
was the organizer of the small farm
ers, mechanics and small tradesmen,
the democratic forces in that colony,
and as such his name would naturally
be anathema to the aristocratic sup
porters of the proprietors, the Penns.
Logically, he should have been re-
garded in the same way by aristo-
cratic. elegant France. Instead, that
country took this simple democrat to
its heart in his lifetime and all but
canonized him after his death.
His moral and religious theories
frightened the century and environ
ment he lived in," writes Fay. HE
was accused alternately of atheism
and bigotry. for though his God re-
sembled its parent. the Christian Dr.
vinity, it had distinct differences.
When, at length. Franklin had many
adherents, it was because of double
misunderstanding; in America. he was
followed because he was believed to
be a Christian; in France. because he
was classed with the atheists. :"

Franklin stands revealed not as pro-
vincial Yankee who gloritied common
sense. as so many Of his biographers
have portrayed him, nor simply as a
great American, but one Of the great
men of his century and a man who
lived in perfect harmony with his
times, even though in his wisdom and
his foresight he was far in advance
of his times.
Professor Fay's use of the new
Franklin material which he discovered
has enabled him to clear up many
matters in regard to Franklin's reli-
gion, morals and social activities
which have heretofore been but little
understood. AS to his religious be-
liefs it can now be seen that he be-
lieved in a Supreme Being. He re-
garded Jesus as great moral teach
er and in regard to the Immortality Of
the soul he subscribed to the Pytha-
gorean doctrine of survival in a new
body with new senses and new ideas.
That belief is reflected in the cpl
taph which he wrote for himself ear
ly in life and which reads:
The Body Il
OF
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.
Printer,
(Like the cover of an old book.
It's contents torn out,
And stript of it's lettering and gilding,)
Lies here, food for worms.
Yet the work itself shall not be lost,
For it will, as he believed. appear once
more,
In a new
And more beautiful edition.
Corrected and amended
The Author.
A deist in his early life, he believed
that man could do no evil in a world
where all events were foreordained
by the Deity and that man therefore
should take his pleasure where he
found it. That belief was strength
ened by his experiences in the notori-
ously immoral London Of the early
Eighteenth century, but when he be-
came disillusioned through the betray-
al by friends he had trusted. he de-
termined to shape his life for himself
and for that purpose he set down four
cardinal rules of guidance economy,
perseverance, goodwill and loyalty.
Later he heightened this list by thir-
teen--temperance. silence, order, reso-
luton, frugality, industry, sincerity,
justice, moderation, cleanliness, tran
guilty, chastity and humility. In the
practice of these he was successful
In all but two-order and chastity.
None Of Fay's new revelations is
more interesting than those dealing
with the part which his membership
in the Masons played in his career.
The Masonic society had been estab-
lished in Philadelphia in 1927 at the
time when Franklin was only COM
paratively unknown young printer. It
was composed largely of rich mer-
chants who did not look with favor
upon Franklin. But he forced his way
into the society (by showing how eff
fectively he could use his newspaper
against it, If its members kept him

Few Americans have been more writ

historians and biographers had ex-

tivities in the light OF innumerable
documents, among them more than
six hundred letters. hitherto unpub-

probably the most complete view OF
Benjamin Franklin that has yet been

new Franklin. The Franklin which
Americans have hitherto known has
always been a figure which challenges
our admiration because he was such
a versatile, many-sided man. But "hu-
man" as was this Eighteenth century
character, he has not always been I'M
derstandable to Twentieth century
Americans. Through the interpreta-
tion OF Professor Fay he becomes
more understandable and more easily
understood. But the title of the book
gives the clew to the reason why
Franklin was ''the apostle of modern
times" Another historian, Philip Cue

Fay phrases the same thought in

.sThe innumerable facts that have
gathered here for the first time bring
us closer to Franklin and show him
to be more picturesque, more in con-

Chairman Legge Gives New
Angle to Statement About
Portion Of Bread Maker

Fargo, N. D., Aug. 29.@P-Alex-
ander Legge, chairman of the Fed
eral Farm Board, today informed w.
D. Powell, Secretary of the North Da-
kota Retail Merchants association,
that 80 per cent of the consumers
dollar goes to those agencies which
produce and deliver the raw material
to the bread baker.
Legge's letter was written to ex-
plain that a news story citing the
percentage of the consumers dollar
which goes to agencies producing and
delivering raw material to the baker
in error. Mi. Powell in a reply
to the farm board chairman's com
munication expressed regret that Mr.
Legge had been misquoted.
Legge's letter to Powell said in part:
THE statement should have read
that only 80 per cent of the con-
sumer's dollar goes to those agencies
which produce and deliver the raw
material to the baker.
1.-THE matter was referred to me in
answer to the question whether the
increased price of wheat raised the
cost of bread. This statement shows
that in a pound of bread the return
to the farm for the wheat was only
LA cents. The point I was trying to
make clear was that Authorization of
or SO cents a buShel in wheat after
all made a very slight difference in
the cost of a loaf of bread"

Says Bickert Feigns !
Insanity to Escape
Charge of Burglary

Bottineau, N. D., Aug. 29.-P-Be>
lief that Rudolph Bickert, so. with q
long criminal record, feigned insanity
to escape prosecution on a burglary
charge SO that he, could be committed
to the state hospital at jamestown,
has prompted Sheriff j. c. Miller OF
Bottineau to recommend that Bickert
be returned to be charged as a habit
ual criminal.
Bickert was arrested by Sheriff
Miller in June on a charge of burglar
izing a house near Omenaae.
A few days after being put in jail
Bickert began to act peculiarly. He
attempted to gouge holes in the jail
wall, explaining that he vas seeking
a gang of counterfeiters concealed
therein. Other unusual actions and
remarks by Bickert led to the sheriff
signing an insanity complaint against
him and the county insanity board
ordered his commitment to the state
hospital.
Fingerprints of Bickert we're sent
by Sheriff Miller to the United States
bureau of Identification at Washing
ton and from there it was reported
that the inmate had served prison
sentences in Kentucky, Missouri, Okla
homa and Indiana and also has been
in three different insane asylums.
Bickert's past record has caused
Sheriff Miller to doubt that he is in
sane, and he is urging prosecution
under the habitual criminal law Of
the state.

Accomplishments of
President Pictured

Washington, Aug. 29.-(R-Presi-
dent Hoover was pictured today by the
Republican national committee as a
keeper of party promises whose record
has been equaled by few recent ad-
ministrations.
A statement issued by the Repub-
lican headquarters contained a sum-
mary of administration accomplish
ments, listed In a column opposite the
promises of the Republican platform
adopted at Kansas City, in 1928.
Among the promises listed as kept
were the $3.50, 900 900 cut in 1880 in
come taxes: revision of the tariff 70
aid agriculture, with emphasis placed
on the flexible provisions of the
tariff act; creation of the farm board;
improvement of inland waterways and
added federal contributions to high
way construction.
The committee statement stressed
also the transfer of the prohibition
bureau to the justice department; re-
organization of district attorneys Of
fices and tightening Of Canadian
liquor export regulations. The state
ment credited the president with
leading in arousing the country
against lawlessness.

AWARDS MADE IN
GARDEN CONTEST
John r. FIeck, Robert J. Dohn,
B. F. Lawyer and Carl Nelson
Get New Home Prizes

Awards in the second annual Yard
and Garden contest sponsored by the
Bismarck Garden club were an
nounced today by Mrs. S. D. Cook,
president of the Garden club, who
was a member of the judging COM
mittee. Other judges were Mrs. &.
F. Dullam and Justice L. E. Birdzell.
First place in the competition In
which only new homes we're entered,
went to John r. Fleck, 712 Mandan
street. Second place was awarded
Robert j. Dohn, 1872 Mandan street.
The homes of B. F. Lawyer, $40 Man
dan street, and Carl Nelson, 916
Eighth street, were tied for third
place.
The j. l.. Barth home, 827 Sixth
street, again received first place in
the contest for the most attractive
setting for older homes. Mi. Bartn
also was winner of first prize last
year. Second place in the COMPETE
ton went to F. A. Copelin, Sis Wash
ingtOn street, and third place to H.
s. Lobach, SIG Ninth street. Mr..
Lobach was also a winner in the con-
GCSI AdSt year.
Awards in both classes are the same,
$25 for first place. and SIS for second
place.
LIABILITY and SttractivenesS were
important considerations in the rules
of judging issued by the National
Yard and Garden society, and these
points were factors in making the
decision for the Barth home, which
has an especially livable backyard.
The rules also pointed out that lib
eral credit should be given In all
cases where entrants had beautified
their places in the face Of unfavorable
conditions. The Dohn home was an
example Of this, and the attractive
effect achieved by Mr.. Dohn in spite
OF difficulties Of location helped the
judges to decide in his favor.
Judging was completed this week,
according to j. E. Melton, chairman
of the Yard and Garden contest COM
mittee.
