WELL GENERAL?
June IL, 1881.

June IL, 1881.
Dear Editor:
I read with much interest your edi-
torial Queer Things Happen" in las.
nights Tribune. Gen. Douglas Nc
Arthur is quoted as having said
History teaches us that religion and
patriotism have always gone hand in
hand, while atheism has invariably
been accompanied by radicalism,
communism, b%olshevism. and other
enemies of free government"
In your commentary you agree that
the General is right, that ~"Slackness
in the National attitude and laxity in
morals and religion also goes hand in
hand or words to that effect How
do you and the General reconcile
these conclusions with the present
situation In Russia may I ask? We
are told that the atheistic. commun-
iStic and b~olshevistic Russians are
also the most militaristic of all peo-
pies, and I will wager General Nc
Arthur included Russia among the
nations who exceed U. S. A. at the
ratio Of from three to forty five" in
army preparedness. Evidently mill
tary preparedness and patriotism are
synonymous and the true yardstick
by which a peoples religious ana
moral status is to be measured, ac-
cording to the worthy Generals opin-
ion. How can Russia be both athe-
istic and religious, patriotic and slack
ers at the same time?
S. A. OLSNESS.

Big Field Pea Crop
In Benson Predicted

Minnewaukan, N. D., June l3.-(P
An increase Of 1000 per cent in the
acreage of field peas harvested in
Benson county this year is anticipat-
ed by H. w. Herbison. county agent.
Most Of the acreage is devoted to
the growing Of a seed supply to take
care of future crops for hogging off
and feeding to lambs In the field, he
believes. A few experienced growers
are utilizing them for hog casture
this year, but most hog men have jus:
planted sufficient this year to pro-
vide seed for a feed crop in 1882.
State agricultural experiment sta
tons at Edgeley and Langdoa have
shown fine results in growing field
peas and feeding them to hogs.

EVOKES DISCUSSIONS
Administration Building and
Travel and Transport Hall
Are Completed
INSPIRING
Sacrificing Of Art, Beauty and
Grace for Rigid Effect De-
plored by Some

Chicago, June 13.-(P)-The grain
elevator motif" is providing fertile
material for debate among Chlcago's
art critics, real and pseudo.
The intensely modern architectural
scheme Of the 1888 Century OF Prog
ress exposition, beginning to take
form along the lake front. is inspir-
ing a wide divergence of opinions as
to its suitability, beauty and csthetic
effects.
Two of the str~uctureS-the admin
~istration building and the travel and
transport hall-have been completed,
and their cubistic designs have moved
nearly every beholder to expression
OF strong opinions. Some Of the Aity
have already taken to writing to the
newspapers about it.
In Four Glasses
Generally, those speaking forth or
writing fall into four classes:
Cd Those who intensely dislike
the. to them, grotesque note:
co Those who are not favorably
impressed but decline to take the
buildings seriously because they are
only temporary:
90 Those who are confident that
the ultimate effect. in ensemble. will
be magnificent and gay, and
90 Those who are more concerned
with the effect these buildings and
discussions OF them will have on flu
ture architecture than with the build
ings themselves.
Sacrificing Of art. beauty and grace
for the rigid effect symbolic of the
machine age is deplored by some;
others, including Irving K. Pond. for
mer president Of the American InSti-
tute Of Architects, refuse to consider
the fair structures as architecture"
regarding them merely IS shelters for
the exposition.
It "a Ralph Clarkson, a painter
of some distinction. who decried the
grain elevator motif" He said the
style Of the buildings may be de-
scribed as founded on the Egyptian,
filtered through the modern German.
and with the grain elevator motif
back of it ALL"
Roof Is Inspiring
1t is the Suspended-roof section o.
the rambling transportation building
that inspires the most wonderment
Rising. like an oyergrown and glori-
fled silo. some 125 feet high and go
feet in diameter. it is surrounded by
a series Of steel frames which look
like a cluster OF derrickS.
From these steel cables extend, on
The outside. down to the ground, and
inside to the dome roof whic.. they |
support. The cables and derrick like |
superstructure are all part Of the per-
manent aspect Of the building.
The administration building. on the
lakes edge opposite the Field mu-
scum, has many Of the outward as
poets of a modern factory building.
Exposition architects take the stand
that the whole scheme cannot be ca
oably judged until the group is COM
and ultra-modern lighting and
effects installed.

j. s. PAY SLASH.
PLAN SCORED

Strong opposition was brewing
today among Government en-
ployes and in labor union ranks
against the unexpected proposal
of Representative Will R. Wood
(R. of Indiana, chairman of the
House Appropriations Committee,
to cut the salaries of all Govern
ment workers drawing more than
$4,000.
The opening opposition shot
was fired last night when the
Central Labor Union of Washing
ton unanimously disapproved all
salary slashes, particularly among
Government employees. Speakers
recalled that after the stock
market crash the President had
stated he was against salary cuts
and that industry had been
asked to hold up wage scales.
The voluntary pledge of the
American Federation of Labor
not to ask wage increases during
the depression period also was
cited.
N. P. Alifas, of the machinists
union, who is a delegate to the
Federation convention in Vancou,
yer next month was instructed
by the Central Labor Union to
work for a resolution against the
Wood propOSal.
