The Banker and the Soldier’s Wife After Foreclosing on Her Furniture, Moratorium Law Forced a Wealthy North Dakotan to Back Up. ] ATHER than have all this publicity, I would rather give all the goods back to her,” a Dickinson (N. D.) banker told the defense. gency war act providing that debts against North Dakota soldiers must He had broken the emer- wait until peace. But this story has been told by Hnitor Donham of Le Sueur, Minn.. Read how he handles this man: Bismarck, N. D, May 22.—Stating that he had overlooked the fact that her husband was in the National army =N when he forclosed a mortgage on the furnishings of a rooming house which Mrs. Henry Rademacher was running at Dickinson, Sylvane M. Ferris, presi- 3 dent of the Dakota National bank of Dickinson, and chairman of the Stark county Red Cross chapter, appearing before the council of defense this afternoon, agreed to restore the goods, which are still in the bank’s posses- sion, on any terms decreed by the de- fense council.

After reading that, Mr. Donham comments as follows: What of it? Is poor Mrs. Rade- macher sflly _enough in her feminine " head to imagine that one of the privi- leged - pirates. who hatch . financial panics so that they may fatten on the miseries and misfortunes of their fel- low-beings,. would feel any hesitancy about throwing a soldier’s wife on the streets as a beggar and outcast, if by doing so he could fatten his own purse a few pennies? If she is, she has many eye-openers coming between now and the declaration of world peace again. - The gold-craving Shylock who gob- bed onto Mrs. Rademacher’s furni- ture is like nine out of ten of the hypocrites today bellowing about their patriotism and plundering the govern- ment. - His greed for gain was the only thing to be considered. He had no patriotic impulse and no feeling of pity in his calloused heart for the wife who lamented the loss of her husband and worried over a -possible - fate ‘awaiting him worse than death. All he was interested in was to get a few loads of house furnishings for one. third of its value. He is like most of the bristle-backed Berkshires who have money to loan out. They care not how good the security offered when some poor devil comes to them for a loan, unless they can see a sure chance for making three or four times the legal rate of interest, they will hold back and hem and haw, till that chance is offered them. The man mentioned above, who “is parading around as a patriot—being chairman of a Red Cross—chapter— had no compunction whatever. in throwing Mrs. Rademacher out into -the streets to starve, while her hus- band was away fighting for a flag .| that would be polluted every time it floated above such infamous villians as._this Dickinson banker. See the greedy ghoul try to sneak out of his dirty trick by- pretendmg that he didn’t know the poor woman’s | husband was away in the army! We wouldn’t trust him within a mile of our poultry coop after sun-down, lest he carry away all of our pullets and come back after the coop.
