Chicago Man Dies.

Friends here have just received
word that Christian Nielsen of Chi
cago, died Saturday and was buried
there Tuesday. Mr.. Nielsen was
known widely as Pioneer Nielsen for
the reason that he had edited the
Chicago page of the Danish Pioneer
for nearly 40 years-a wonderful rec
ord. Mr.. Nielsen was born at Ran
dcrs, Denmark, in 1851, and came te
the United States in 1888. He was
one of the leading Danes in the Windy
City and had been active there in
community affairs throughout his
climb to success and prominence.

DanebO Celebration.

The anniversary celebration spon-
sored each year by the Danish Old
Peoples Home, Danebo, in Minneapo-
lis, is generally attended by a large
number of Askovites; such was not
the case this year, however. But
those who went say that the festival
was second to none; there was splen-

the afternoon, then the customary
supper and in the evening very
talented group presented the one-act
Danish play "Fastelavnsgildet" under
the able leadership of Paul Strange.
Conservative estimates placed the at
tendance this year at 600.

tingent liabilities which the RooSe-
velt administration has assumed and
which are not even in the $4,000, ,0O0,-
600 of debt. Recent experience, more
over, with "recoverables" has been
that the money is spent as fast as it
comes in to the Treasury.
We come then to the gold profit" of
$4,000 100000, which the new Tories
suggest be subtracted. Unhappily this
gold was taken forcibly from the
American people and paper dollars of
SO cents gold value were given them
in exchange. Somebody lost in the
transaction. The gold worth of the
country is less today than it was in
1888. When the purchasing power of
the present dollar starts downward
which is inevitable if public debt in
creaSes do not stop-it will be much
smaller, too To call the gold fund a
profit" under such circumstances is
questionable, morally speaking, but
this isn't half as bad as the new Tory
idea of subtracting the present cash
and working balance from the debt
without going back to March 4, 1888,
and crediting the Hoover deficit with
whatever was in the Treasurys cash.
on-hand item on that date.
All in all the Roosevelt regime can
be held responsible for about s19,-
000,000000 of public debt increase to
date, but even if we use the new Tory
estimate of around s9,800,0OO,000 as
the theoretical net deficit over what it
was in 1888, the big fact is that the
debt today is being piled up at an
undeniably rapid rate.
Deficits Speed Counts.
Whatever the past debt-one might
say America can absorb it in due time
yet what of the speed with which
debt is actually being piled up now?
By next year it will be $4,000, ,O0O, 900,
which means virtually more than
twice what it was on March 4, 1893.
It's never the size Of the debt at any
given time which causes so much ap-
prehension as the speed with which
deficits are being rolled up. And that

The story has it that the senior Sem

torial contest, both during the primary
campaign and before election, pro-
vided the President does not take too
active a hand in promoting Dear

House zeal on McAdoo's behalf, Wash

not only refrain from giving his COL
league the Hiramesque blessing, but,
in the primary contest, might drop
hint perhaps privately, rather than
publicly, that he favors the candidacy
either of Judge Preston or Sheridan
Downey, McAdoo's two Democratic
opponents. Officially a Republican.

When Roosevelt was in San Fran
cisco the other day, his memory must
have travelled back to the time, just
about Is years ago, when he was
nominated out there for the vice
presidency on the Democratic ticket
headed by Gov. Cox of Ohio. One
wonders whether the President, while
at Marietta few days before, also
recalled that former Gov. George
White, Senator Bulkley's primary op-
ponent, was national chairman in
1920 and rendered yoeman service
IN that futile fight. White was in
charge of the ceremonies at Mari
eta, his home town. but failed to
rate any mention in the Chief Execu-

In the Scandinavian press there is
much current reference to the posi-
bility that DR.. Frank N. Buchanan,
American founder of the Oxford
group, and recently the recipient of
distinguished international honors for
his pioneer work in that movement,
may receive this years Nobel Peace
Prize. Foreign Minister Holsti of
Finland, who was in Washington a
couple of weeks ago, said that the

oxford Group is penetrating the

readiness to consult with other
