In eleven states today the battle Of
the ballots is being waged. And
while the majority of the off year
elections have attracted but little at
teution, some of them are regarded as
pointing strongly toward certain ma
tional political conditions that give
these state elections more than local
interest. In Maryland, the avowed
desire Of Senator German to be made
the Democratic candidate for presi-
dent has made the fight in that state
one of the endorsement or reputation
of German. Should the Republicans
carry that state, which is a matter Of
serious doubt, however, German would
be considered as repudiated by the de.
mocracy and people OF his own state,
and he would be seriously opposed if
not defeated for the am bition of his
life. In Ohio, the Democrats have
refused to make the campaign on
party principles, we'll knowing that a
fight on those lines meant defeat. and
have attempted to present to the peo-
pie the wild idea of single tax as
taught by Tom l.. johnson, the Demo-
cratic candidate. 1t is contended by
those who are political prophets that
the Ohio results is an index to national
results two years hence. But that is
not true. In off years, the people of
Ohio settle state troubles at the polls
and in presidential campaigns give
their undivided support to the Repub.
lican party. For this reason, Ohio
does not furnish a guide to the nation
al result in the next presidential cam
paign. So that no matter if the wild
theories Of johnson have caught a few
Of the floating votes and reduced the
Republican vote below that of two
years ago, it is no indication Of a re-
pudiation of the party principles by
the people.
The Ohio election settles nothing
except the political death of Johnson.

BIG FIRE At coNEY ISLAND SAID
TO HAVE BEEN STARTED
BY DRUNKEN WALTERS.
FINANCIAL LOSS REACHES $|,5oo,oo
ONE LIFE LOST, TWO SCORE PER
SONS INJURED AND. FIVE
HUNDRED HOMELESS.

New York, Nov. 3.-Fourteen solid
blocks of buildings in ruins, one life
lost, two score persons injured, 500
persons homeless and a financial loss
Of $1,000, 900 is the outcome Of an
alleged drunken freak which resulted
in a fire at Coney Island.
Frank Connolly, twenty-seven years
old, and Peter Shelley, thirty-eight
years old, former walters in the Alba
tross hotel at Sheepshead Walk and
the Bowery, are locked up charged
with arson on the strength of a state
ment made by Barney Wolf, proprietor
Of a Raines law hotel at the island.
Wolf says that OF Friday night Con.
molly and Shelley, in the presence of
a crowd, said that things were getting
dull on the island and they believed
they would liven the place up with a
fire. Wolf says he saw them start a
fire, which he put out. He asserts
they started a second fire, but he ar
rived just as the flames shot up and
was unable to control them as he had
done before and he gave the alarm.
When he saw his own place go up like
finder and heard his brother-in-law,
Albert Rubin, had his skull fractured
by leaping from a window to save
himself, he told the police Of Connolly
and Shelley.
The story Of the alleged incendiar-
ism was all over the island while the
flames were at their height and feeling
against Connolly and Shelley ran high.
There is a great scarcity Of food on
the island and hundreds are suffering
for the ordinary necessities of life.
Shelley and Connolly, upon arraign.
ment, pleaded not guilty to a charge
Of suspicion of arson and they were
remanded for examination on Nov. 4.

OLD FASHIONED FOOTBALL,

There is no such spirit in the
school today as in old times. They
have a football ELEVEN, it is true,
and it holds its head up among its
mates a little above 'em, too, most of
tho time, -the old schools the old
school yet, I tell 'em-but, after all,
it isn't the old game, nor the old
spirit. I go out sometimes to watch
them, and think well it's a queer
game they play now, and call foot
ball:' They trot out in such aston
fishing toggery: padded and "guarded"
fro shin to crown,-welted, belted,
strapped, and buckled beyond recogni
tion. And there's no independence in
the play; every move has to be told
'em. It's as if they weren't Dig
enough to run alane: and so they hire
a big stepmother of a university
"coach', who stands around in a red
sweater, and yells, and berates them.
Not a man answer back; he doesn't
dare to. They don't dare eat plain
, Christian food, but have a "training
, table" and diet like invalids. I've
seen 'em at a game not dare take &
3 plain drink of water; when they gel
thirsty they sucked at a vet sponge,
+ like babies at a bottle.
Q It vas not so in our day. No apron
/ strings of a university coach were tiet

we wanted to play we got togethe

FRIDAY, NOV. 6 1908.

IF the reasons advanced at the
Minnewaukan meeting for the failure
of the bill providing for the opening
of the reservation are to be taken SER
iously, there is no wonder that the
senate has been fast becoming the
popular branch of the national legis.
lature. If a state delegation of the
lower house are thwarted in their pur-
poses in securing the passage of what
IS practically a local law, because of
the oppo.ition of the speaker and the
committee on rules, it is time to have
a change. The senate needs no
cloture rules, and while senatorial
courtesy is carried to an extremity,
that body has not very often failed to
measure up to the needs of the nation.
There have been occasional instances
where demogogues nave gotten into
that body and have used the privi-
leges in the of a country
pettifogging lawyer. But they are
the exceptions. The senate has come
to regard the men who attempt to talk
themselves into notoriety with in
difference, and the thinking classes of
the people have verified that judgment.
The men who work, who do things,
are the nes who are placed in posi-
tions Of responsibility. But in the
house, the speaker controls the mem
bers as though they we're refractory
school boys, with the result that the
legislative power of that body has
passed largely to the three members
constituting the committe on rules.
The speakers power has become great
or than that of the president, for the
latter cannot veto legislation without
giving his reasons, and even then it
may be enacted over his veto. Not
SO with the speaker. He need give
no reasons, and there is no appeal
other than an appeal. from his decision
on a parliamentary matter and as
the committee on rules makes the
parliamentary practice, it is difficult
to have an appeal that is effective.
The opening Of the Indian reserva-
tions Is only a matter Of time, and
the people who are familiar with the
facts know that it is not only best
for the Indians themselves but fol-
the progressive people of the west
who want the rich lands tied up in
reservation for agricultural pur'
poses. There is no reason why
Speaker Cannon should prevent the
opening of the Fort Totten leserva
tion, and ne should not be permitted
to do 50.

to support a population two-thirds
the size Of that Of the enti, country
today. 1t is nearly as large as the
productive area added by the louisiana
purchase, and more than the same
area of the thirteen original states.
This area does not become at once
available, but the carrying out of the
law will accomplish the purposes
stated. It has long been a recognized
fact that the rapid settlement of the
west during the last few years, not
only by people from the older portions
of the country, but by the sturdy
people from Europe, has made the
questions of future homes a very SER
ious one. People have looked in
vain to other parts of the world for
the territory upon which. the surplus
population of the next century could
be located, and upon which they
could be sustained. Here in our very
midst was the territory to sustain a
population fifteen times as large as
that which measured swords with
King George a century ago, the only
thing necessary to make it available
being the suppl ing of water. This
has been provided for, and the terri
tory will become the homes of the
very people that it seemed would be
crowded off the earth, and by a simple
law the millions who desire BONES in
the country whose emblem is the stars
and stripes in the next century are
provided for.

In with the hold-up artists who are
constantly bringing disgrace upon
the state. A persual Of the state
papers for the last two months will
show that in almost every county of
the state and nearly every week. some
outlaw attempts to take the property
of another, and to accomplish this
purpose often takes life. The papers
of the state publish those things as
matters of news, and the people out
side the state not familiar with the
facts, get the Impression that North
Dakota is a land Of highway robbers
and midnight assassins. They do nct
know that every one of these crimes
is committed by the hobos who come
into the state during the summer sea
son to procure a few weeks work dur
ing the harvest and threshing time, a
extraordinary wages, and then add t.
this income such funds as they ca
axe by force from their fellow men.
or several years yet the northwes
mut suffer from this trouble, as Their
ia no other labor available for tn
summer farm rush. But where thes
people become highway men tn
~severest penalties should be inflicted
and they should be made to know ths
the business is dangerou. Thof
crimes stopped, North Dakota woul
have a record for the absence of se1
ious crime that would compare favo'
able with any state in the unio'
But the people outside the state mu
be made to known that these Grim
are not committed by the citizens
this state, else the result will
