It all began when State Senator Oscar E. Erickson, administration handyman, induced the Steele Ozone’s board of directors to pass a resolu- tion stating that the newspaper would support the candidacy of Governor ‘William Langer in the June primaries. Sherman opposed the motion, was beaten four to one. Buckling on his armor, he canvassed stockholders of the newspaper, in- duced them to call a special meeting to review the board’s action. His arguments were that a newspaper which deliberately makes of it- self a propaganda sheet loses the confidence of the people, is headed for the financial scrapheap. He asserted that stock in the enterprise, valuable now, would be worthless within a few years if it sabotaged its own integrity. His stand was that a newspaper should tell its readers the truth as best it can, not seek to mislead them. Support of Sherman at the stockholders’ meeting Friday was a triumph for the principles of a free and untrammeled press. It caused to come true Sherman's prophecy of what the people would do when they knew the facts. What the newspaper will do in the fall campaign has not been deter- mined yet, will not be until after the June election. NOT YET AND MAYBE NEVER Despite reports to the contrary, John Sullivan, brilliant Mandan lawyer, has not been retained to defend Governor William Langer or any of the Sar — in the conspiracy indictments presented by the federal grand jury. oo was some basis for the rumor that he would be, however, and here Before the indictments were returned, representatives—or alleged rep- resentatives—of the governor, took the matter up with a junior member of Sullivan's firm, discussed the possibility of retaining them for the defense. But nothing ever came of it. Sullivan is said to have put his foot down when the idea was broached to him. The matter ended there, and there it probably will remain. ALONG HISTORY BEHIND THE DECiSION ‘To persons familiar with both Langer and Sullivan, the presence of the Mandan man at the former's counsel table would have been a scream. For years they have been regarded as enemies. “Away back when,” Langer de- feated Sullivan for state's attorney in Morton county. In numerous cases the men have been opposing counsel in court. Each can be a fire-eater, although Sullivan is regarded as a much smoother performer as a lawyer. The feeling has been that there was no “love lost” between the pair and many are the private stories told regarding their relations on various occa~ sions. What John said to Bill—and vice versa—are among the classics of local legal circles. It is furiny, too, because Sullivan's stand is that Langer did him a favor by beating him for the state’s attorneyship in the long ago, since the defeat got the political bug out of his head, enabled him to concentrate on his pro- fession as a lawyer. ALL KINDS OF RUMORS—BUT JUST RUMORS All kinds of rumors are afloat as to the reason for adjourning the federal grand jury, which indicted the Leader » until May 8, instead of dis- missing it for good. Whether any of them are true only developments will disclose, but the best bet now is that there will be further fireworks in connection with the state’s handling of federal money. Federal agents who unearthed the evidence which caused the grand jury to vote the indictments still are active in the state. They bob up in Bis- marck and other places every now and then, but what they are doing few people know. They are experts at keeping their mouths shut. But, judging from this and that, don’t be surprised if the next grand jury session produces another sensation. Something is ‘‘on the fire.” Mean- time, talk by the lads who pretend to know the “inside dope” should be salted heavily before taking. IT MAY BE BY TICKET Attaches of the federal court are worrying a little about how they will take care of the crowds which are expected to attend the Leader conspiracy trial when it opens here, probably late in May. They expect a tremendous demand for admission to a courtroom which will seat less than 200 persons and upon them will devolve the job of keeping order. As & result, they are considering issuing passes to the courtroom to such as they feel are entitled to them, but here, too, they run into trou- ble. On what-basis would such tickets be distributed? It is all very perplexing and is further complicated by Federal Judge Andrew Miller's distaste for anything resembling a “show” in his courtroom. ‘This was emphasized at Fargo when newsmen made application for permis- sion to take pictures of the Langer arraignment. It was refused by the judge with the curt comment that no pictures would be taken of his court in action, IT’S THE VELOCITY THAT COUNTS Reports of improved business in this region draw an interesting side- light from the bankers. ‘They ‘say the deposits show no marked increase and that bank balances are no larger now than they were during the dear, dead days of the depres- sion, but that money is moving faster and accounts are more active. In other words, the put and take is faster as the wheels of commerce begin to turn over. Which is just what some of the economists have been telling us was the chief ailment of business when prices were going down and everyone was -| chary. IT WAS JUST A GENTLE HINT Highway maintainers, meeting in Bismarck this week, were asked to contribute to a defense fund for the men indicted by the federal grand jury —or at least they seem to have been. Some of the men who attended the meeting said the hint was dropped that the defendants would need money to fight their case—and incidentally the battles of the maintainere—and hence a little financial support would be in order. Officials who attended the meeting said they knew nothing about it, but the probability is that it happened unless the highway workers are be- Ia eset 0 REREE EDT AOR DEN SADA re TNORAT 0 TD Re ‘word, CONTRACT =" CXPERTS PLAY IT Solution to Previous Contract Problem ‘WM.

The ex- Purgated version was announced for publication in the December, 1906 Century magazine. Before it appeared, however, the foreign office requested suppression, and sent a cruiser to New York to pick up the pages ahd consign them to Davy Jones’ locker. When the crates containing the sheets failed to sink, they were fished out and the copies fed to the flames. The “Lost Interview” is now publish- ed for the first time.) Boston, April 21.—(#)—What the Kaiser said to William Bayard Hale, Journalist, one night back in 1908—' an international mystery for a quar- bd of a century—was revealed Fri- lay. The famous “Lost Interview,” which caused so many headaches and 80 much speculation, is presented in the May issue of the Atlantic Monthly’ magazine by William Harlan Hale, son of the man to whom Emperor Will- fam II of Germany spoke so freely, and, as his country thought, so indis- creetly. ‘This is the gist of the views ex- Pressed by the Kaiser: The inevitable world crisis was a clash between Japan and occidental nations; east and west must meet and the west must conquer. Great Britain was guilty of a sort of political miscegenation in allying herself with Japan. ‘Wat was necessary. War was Christ- jan. The bible was full of fighting. ‘The greatest soldiers were Christians. Theodore Roosevelt, then president of the United States, was his hero— the dominating, militaristic leader he hoped he himself was. The course of history was largely determined. Not by the clashing of social forces and economic trends, but by the deeds of great men and person- alities. Talked On Yacht ‘Thus the Kaiser spoke. It was one evening in July, 1908, that he con- sented to the interview by Hale, close friend of Theodore Roosevelt. The meeting was on the imperial yacht, Hohenzollern, at anchor in the Fjord of Bergen. In the Atlantic Monthly, Hale writes that the emperor voiced “the most amazingly indiscreet staternents ever uttered by the head of a great nation.” ‘The Russo-Japanese war was three years past. Germany had come to a cross-roads and was a little off the path. She was carrying on a naval race with Great Britain, a military race with France. The Algeciras conference, at which England, Russia and Italy had opposed the Fatherland in agreeing to recog- nize the priority of French interests in Morocco, had left her somewhat of an Ishmael among nations. The Hale interview was to appear in the Century Magazine, December, 1908. The German foreign office gave it a thorough editorial scouring, re- moving most of the dynamite. Then, it was decided that the inter- view should be suppressed. It was, Just before publication. The pages were yanked out, crated and stored in @ warehouse. The German cruiser Bremen came to New York, loaded the crates aboard and in mid-Atlan- tic tossed them overboard. Pages Fed to Fire ‘The crates declined to sink and the Bremen lowered boats and took them KAISER’S THOUGHTS REVEALED Bares Old * nee Documen aboard again. Eight imperial Ger- man officers, to the story, fed the printed pages to the fire boxes. In the Atlantic Monthly article, the original interview, before expurga: tion, is used. W. H. Hale found it after his father’s death in 1924, ~ The Kaiser's first remarks concern- ed Theodore Roosevelt. “What a man he is!” the emperor told Hale. “Mr. Roosevelt is an in- spiring example of the force of per- sonality.” ‘William IZ then developed a thesis. “It isn’t genius the world needs, nor brilliancy, nor profound learning, half so much as personality. The big things in the world are always done by just @ man—one man—one strong Personality.” Roosevelt, he declared, was “one of the greatest leaders of men the world has even seen.” The conversation then turned to war. “In @ world of practical facts, the kaiser said, “we have to fight, even for righteousness’ sake. The Bible is full of fights—jolly good fights some of them were. It is a mistaken idea that Christianity has no countenance for war.” i He contended that the sword should Clear the way for the missionary. a ‘With the assertion that the world’s greatest warriors had been Christians, the Kaiser turned to the Japanese. “The trouble with them,” he said, “is that they don’t want any religion. They constitutionally are incapable of religion. They are utterly without sentiment—practical, cold, unsym- pathetic.” He thought the Japanese had been over-estimated as fighters; they were too small in stature. “We know this much about him (the Japanese)” the Kaiser declared. “He hates the white man worse than the white man hates the devil. The Jap- anese are devils, that's a simple fact. They are devils!” It was 15 years earlier that the Kaiser had painted his picture “The Yellow Peril.” “England ts @ traitor to the white man’s cause, he asserted. “If that al- liance of theirs with Japan is persist- ed in, I don’t see how the British em- pire can be saved from dismember- ment. ‘ Brothers To China ‘The most logical combination of na- tions to act as “big brother” to China the Kaiser said, was that of the Unit- ed States and Germany. He had dis- cussed this matter with Roosevelt, he said, and Roosevelt had agreed. “Some fine day the world will wake up and read a quiet little agreement between Germany and the United States declaring that we guarantee Chinese sovereignty over Chinese ter- ritory . . .,” declared the emperor. “Q—Ho! I wonder what my friends across the channel will say to that.” Here, Hale reports, the Kaiser guf- fawed and executed a dance step on the deck. Religion was the next subject. Hale makes this comment: “Clearly, he ‘esteems himself a lord with spiritual as well as temporal responsibility.” ‘The Kaiser expressed dislike for the Roman Catholic faith on the ground that it subordinated Jesus. Next, the Kaiser spoke heatedly of Anglo-German relations. “What is mes scares answered. This antipathy, he said, was grounded in the British diploma- tic policy of opposition to the domin- ant continental power. | Weather o.
