(Established 1873) ee THE RED CROSS EVERYWHERE! i | A Tribute from A Y. M. C. A. Worker to the La- bors of a Great Sister Organization. BY EDWIN H. HUGHES. Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church, now’ in Y. M. C. A. Works in France. | The words of this editorial are written in France. However great the enthusiasm we may feel in America for the work of the Red Cross, that enthu- siagm is quickened amazingly by the near view of its work in the war zone. I see its gracious signs every- where; at the railroad stations where our soldier boys gather in great numbers as they travel; over the hospitals where the wounded and.ill among the defenders of freedom find refuge and healing; on the places where the poor French refugees are sent, old men and wo- men, and little children, to be cared for until placed elsewhere, or else returned to begin life again along the lines of the devastating retreat of the German army. 1 meet its strong men and women on all our streets, hurrying hither and thither on their good errands, and helping to make this wonderful or- ganization still more effective. If the people of the United. States could see what I have seen in these weeks, they would not only join the Red Cross thémselves,’ but they would even invent per- _ sons and pay real.fees for imaginary numbers. 5 May I say, also; that these words are written by . one who is himsélf in the war work overseas of the Young Men’s Christian Association, and who, being related’ to a splendid co-operative organiza- tion, does not write’as a mere partisan. Friends and patriots in America, no words can express 4 full estimate of the amazing work of the American: Red Cross. Seize eagerly every chance to advance that ywerk ! The jokers are now following the liars, and kid- - ding Russia’s Bolsheviki. Beware! The truth will come out of Russia one of these days. REVISING THE SCHOOL BOOKS IS GOING TO COST US EIGHTY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. ‘ When the peace conference is ended all the geographies and histories in use in the public and private schools of the United States must as soon as possible be revised. Let’s think: What does that mean? How big a@ job is it? What will it cost? Who must pay the bill? in all. If each book is half an inch thick that means a stack of books 20,500,000 inches high—or—well you figure out the number of feet there are in 20,500,000 inches. . ‘ Each of these books will cost parents about $1 each, or $41,000,000. In some cities and states school books are provided at public expense. In the end every taxpayer parent must help foot the bill as one of the consequences of Bill Hohen- zollern’s war. (And books worth as many more millions of dollars must be junked. Total bill, $82,000,000.) It will take months of time to revise these books, print them and get them into the hands of teachers and pupils. And teachers must get new books and learn all over again. But they'll be paid, of course, Well it means two new books for each of 20,-/ 500,000 school children, or 41,000,000 new books |: BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE)"<e4 the money after the divorce bill and all, you know.) Edwin was getting $4500 a year out of the War; Labor Board for doing something or other every | day. (Couldn’t save a cent on account of the high cost of drinks.) Just after the wedding Ed went to a sanitariuia, “boiled out” and sobered up. (Reformed for love, you see.) Edwin gave his divorced wife, Evelyn Niles that was, a War Labor Board job at $2400, and another job of the same kind to his daughter by his first wife, Mrs. Arthur Evens, at $1600 a year. (So kind of him, wasn’t it?) Ed took Marie to his mother’s home to live. (And he saw his ex-wife and his daughter every day.) Then he started drinking again—just “sopping them up,” they say. One day Ed ran away. Deserted Marie! (Used to tell her he couldn’t live without her—not a minute!) Now he has been arrested by the government, charged with forgery. Marie has heard that there are a lot of sad girl clerks and stenographers in Washington who knew Eddie pretty well before he went away in such a hurry and came back wearing steel wristlets. What does Marie says? This: , “I still love my husband, but I don’t like the way his daughter and former wife are, trying to blame me for his troubles, I want to see him and help him if I can. He knows the truth and I believe when the time comes he will prove him- self the man I always thought him to be.” Now girls, is this a case of true love and de- votion or of just plain foolishness? One guess! ICELAND, FOR EXAMPLE Iceland is having trouble again. It is in the grip of Spanish influenza. The volcano of Kalta is in eruption. Food supplies are short. The weather is cold. The people are poor. The coun- try is bleak, barren, cold. Icelanders in America are sending help to Pre- mier Magnusson in Reykjavik. America is the world’s helper. This is no new thing, this misery in Iceland. It is only a new combination of forms of misery. Only a few years back, famine stalked. People made flour of the bark of trees... They ate moss, These Icelanders are a brave, hardy, generally pious people. They are démocratic, liberty-loving, yet with all their intelligence they cling to homes in one of the most uninviting’ spots on the globe A LETTER TO SANTA CLAUS Belcourt, N.» D., staunch ‘Hpiscopalian. has passed RISING SUN, 110, JOHN GRASS OF TURTLE MOUNTAIN CHIPPEWAS DEAD AFTER REMARKABLE LIFE‘ Noble\Old Indian Saved Whites In Dunseith Hills From Repeti- tion of Massacre of Little Big Horn—Was Long a Devout Christian. vantage of: position.

Why do people cling to such undesirable spots of earth? The inhabitants of Pompeii and Herculaneum knew their peril long beforethe;yolcano’s fire- streams engulfed them. Naples and the Vesuvian villages of today know their constant danger. The ancient stayed. Thé*mioderns stay. Why? Not because “the world is growing smal] and crowded.” That’s gossamer balderdash, not fact. South America, Africa, Alaska, vast tracts in western America wait the settler. The world still has room for millions of more safe homes in most inviting regions, where the elements of prosperity lie strewn about waiting to be gathered. What the world needs is more of the pioneer, developing spirit. And this ought to be one of the legacies of the Great War. Peace Congress in Versailles, warring Congress in Washington! * Horrors! Thaw case and V-neck waists are be- ing discussed again on front pages! Everybody else being ferninst Roaring Bill, we trust he und Gott are still on good terms. There may be a civil war in Germany, but we know from experience that it won’t be civilized. Eggs are $1 each in Belgium. The announced price of $1 a dozen in this country is just as pro- hibitive. “Nature abhors a vacuum.” So do we, if it’s going to be used, as announced, to preserve meats indefinitely. while studying—if they work, too. The average wage of the average American school teacher is $70.21 a month and comes out of the average of $6.28 a year paid by each American taxpayer for edcation. How generous we aren’t wtih our education shop! The scheme to sink all the surrendered German U-boats is. wholly in line with the past policy of the civilized world, which had been sinking them in great numbers long before the armistice was signed. _-WELL, IS MRS. GEE’S DEVOTION TRUE LOVE OR WWST PLAIN FOOLISHNESS? Edwin E. Gee is 46 years old. (Romantic age?) He divorced his second wife and married his _ stenographer. (He saw her in front. of him all _ day every. day in his office.) , - | _She was Miss Marie Ju S before the marriage license Gloomy? Remember, only a few weeks ago we were wondering whether we could finish in 1919 the job of whipping Germany? One Bolshevik province in Germany has a laund- ress and a tailor for local governors. Ho hum! Not so very different fram any American city! An official statement credits British shipping with a huge part in our troop transport. Why not give German shipping its due credit also? Prince Max’s first plea for an armistice, says Frank Harris, editor of Pearson’s, “almost drove me crazy with joy.” We had noticed the effect, but were not informed as to the cause. Since Sinn Fein wants. an Irish republic, we needn’t take much stock in the alleged Ifish slogan, “F. W. Hohenzollern for King!” As for, eligible candidates for the Sinn Fein president, their number has been reduced by firing squads. It is however, that Jeremiah O'Leary will run, He's had experience in ru! at his home north of Dunseith, at the great age of 110 years, or thereabouts. Nn one knows his exact age. Inter- ment was made in the St. Sylvan cem- etery. services being conducted ty his pastor, Rev, W. Salt. Many people atended the funeral who considered it a privilege to be present to pay their last respects to the aged man. His wife died several years ago at th same place. Rising Sun was a remarkable man. In response to questions of how he received his name, he replied that he had been told that he first saw the light of day when the sun was just peeping out of the east. In his younger days he followed the buffalo for a living, making several trips to the Rocky Mountains. _ Later in life he worked for the Hudson Bay com- pany, making trips to Hudson’s Bay to meet the English ships for sul plies. He also worked for the Amer! can Fur company, making trips to St. Paul with dog trains in the dead of winter through a hostile Sioux country. 4 ‘When be passed middle age, he set- tled down in Pembina Mountains, North Dekota, devoting his time to raising cattle. At one. time he had over thirty-five head, bu~soon after, among the Indians, they quarantined on during that time. When Rising Sun and his wife re- ceived their first annuity payment from the government several years ago, they bought $30.00 worth of lumber to help bufld a chapel that they had ‘been wanting for years, keeping the lumber, in their litle log hut for. six,years before their ambi- tion was rafized.: : ‘ Prevented Massacre. He was partly the means of pre- venting a repetition of the Custer massacre In the Dunseith hilis when the county authorities had a bisun- derstanding with the mixed-blood In- .|dians in 1889 about taxes. The gov- ernor of North Dakota sent a tele- gram to E. W. Brenner, United States agent for the Turtle Mountain Indi- ans, stating that trouble was expect- ed the following day and requested him to render such assistance as he could to prevent it. The message was received at midnight by courier from St. John, and although it was biterly cold, the writer and Mr. Brenner started immediately by sleigh for Dunseith, arriving there about daylight. Mr. Brenner, Captain Eaton and Major McKee of the coun- ty militia, with myself acting as in- terpreter, went early that morning in January, , 1889, to the foothills of Dunseith to hold a council with the mixed-blood Indians on the tax ques- tion, the militia, full armed, remain- ing in Dunseith. There were at least 600 wellarmed mixed-blood - Indians present; they were waiting for the county militia to sdyauce from Dun- seith and they were cel ly ready for fight; but the wise ¢ of Rising Sun, the men were persuaded to disperse end leave the question under disgaiate with the au- thorities at thus venting what ‘been a bloody were greatly themselves and used hig ‘cattle to live)” periences told ‘as “nearly as--possiple in his own words: When 1 was a child our religious customs of “religious dances,” wor- shipping’ the sun, making offerings to the good: and ‘evil «spirits .of such placing the offerings in lonely and as nearly inaccessible.places:as possible.

The Lord’s Prayer, the Ten Comamnd. ments, the Sermon on the Mount, and imany of the beautiful sayings ‘in the New Testament strongly appealed to my heart. I gradually made up my mind that I had really found God, who was kind, just and perfect. About thirty-one years ago, my present ‘religious advirer arrived in the Turtle Mountains. It made my heart glad when he told us that he was sent by the Episcopal church to try to teggh us the way to liye,and serve and find the way of@each- ittg everlasting life. 5 (My wife and I were baptised, con- firmed and married by Bishop Edsall. things as tobacco, dried meats, etc., ~| taught, san WHAT TODO ' WITH KAISER Mott, N.

To the Editor of the Tribune: What to do with the kaiser: sThe kaiser and his minions from the highest to the lowest who have tioned, ordered. and com- mitted ‘thow#e “horrors. cruelties and atrocities’ suth as the world never dreamed of before, are, to say the The nearest to a ‘just punishment would be to ster- ilize them and make them work and earn their existance .taking every precaution to prevent their suicide. There is no such thing, to them, as regret or remorse for their fiendish deeds’ and only in some such way can they be brought to a realization of the crimes they have committed. There is every evidence, that, had they the power, they would repeat those crimes without limit in hope of success. (A Reader.) , WM. DUDLEY, - * ilideer, N. Do. * Call C. A.
