ne MAY DECLINE.
Hughes May Not Accept the Republi-

New York, Oct. S-Rumors have
been current Saturday and today that
Charles Il. Hughes, chief counsel OF
the legislative insurance Investigating
committee, would decline the repubIi-
can nomination for mayor OF New
York made AZ the city republican con-
vention Friday. III reply to these stor-
les Mr. Hughes said tonight that no
one should infer from anything he had
said that he either accepted or de-
clined
In accordance with the agreement
with the notification committee" he
said, 81 shall not make known my de-
cision until ] meet that committee to-
| morrow. During the past two days I
have received a vast number of tele-
| grams and letters from friends and
prominent men: some of these urge me
to accept, others urge me to decline"
William Halpin, chairman Of the re-
publican county committee, said to-
night relative to the nomination Of Mr..
| Hughes:
IF Mr.. Hughes accepts the nomina-

publican party will ask him to do will
| be to write his letter of acceptance.
We do not wish him to take one min

there can control the politics of a state
it is reasonable to assume that COM
bination of those and other roads can
dominate the national legislature.
Sooner or later this country and es-
pecially the republican party, will be
compelled to face the problem of
whether the affairs are to be conduct
ed for the benefit Of the few to the end
that enormous fortunes may be pild
up, or whether legislation must uni
formly be directed toward the greatest
good for the greatest number. No one
begrudges Jas. j. Hill the forty or fif-
ty millions he has made while making
the western desert bloom, or the bene-
fits which Messrs. Morgan and Spence
er may receive from the rejuvenated
Southern railroad, but there are seri-
Gus objections to Messrs. Hill and Nor
gan combining their interests to dou-
BILE or quadruple their fortunes by
eliminating competition and at the ex-
pense of the people at large. This ap-
plies with greater force to those gam
blrs whose depratory operations in the
stock market have nothing to distin-
guish them morally from their wagers
on horse racing and their playing at
cards, faro or roulette, of which we
hear so much.
The question to which republican
leaders would do well to devote their
| attention Is whether the "standpat''
| policy which sacrifices the interest OF
the many for the few will not eventu-
| ally break the back Of the party. Cor
porations make large campaign contri-
buttons, but the people have the votes
| and "a stitch In time saves nine" Is d
homely saying, but true one.

THE EARTH
TRfMBLfD
Powerful Explosion Occurred Thurs
day Evening, Jared Buildings,
and Gave People a Bio Scare.

Last Thursday evening the entire
populace of the city was aroused when
a terrific explosion occurred which
rocked the buildings and jorred the
nerves Of the people as though they
had been in the vicinity of the island
of Martinique, under the shadow of
Mount Peele.
The explosion occurred at about $50
o'clock in the evening and at this writ
ing it is as profound mystery as TO
where or how it occurred as it was at
the time of the occurrence.
The city and county officers made
everv effort to locate the source and
cause of the explosion but to no pur-
pose. and the strongest point Of the
phenomena is the fact that it seemed
to each individual to be right in the
immediate vicinity of his particular
locality. For the first two or three
days after the explosion it was the sole
topic of conversation, but despite the
injuries Hldue ny the ulHefenl peO>
pie of the city, there has not been the
slightest information elected as to the
cause or the location of the explosion.
Some have advanced the theory that
it was done by some boys more as a
jest than anything else, and yet, to
make the concussion felt here would
| require at least so pounds of giant
powder, perhaps more, and this would
| be rather an expensive passtime.
The force of the explosion frighten-
| ed great many women, particularly
those residing on the hill, and whose
| husbands We're down town, and the
hello" girl was kept as busy as bee
for some time afterward in an effort
to locate the whereabouts Of absent

was that Mr.. George Bach's automo.
bile had gone up in smoke and MI

That the town of Moore Is destined to
become a promising business center
there can be no question. And that
representative business men have
great faith in the future Of the little
town along the line of the Montana r.
r., Is evidenced by the heavy invest
ments that have so far been made.
The organization OF the two banks at
this place has had a tendency to
strengthen and encourage the invest
ment of capital along other lines with
the result that within the last few
days a strong corporation has been
organized and the stock is now nearly
all subscribed.
The Judith Commercial company is
the latest institution to unfurl its ban
ner to the breeze inviting the patron
age of the public in the vicinity Of the
town Of Moore. The new company
has purchased the entire stock of the

do business in the building now occu-
pied by that company.

the consensus of opinion is that as an
exhibition it was most successful in
every way.
That it will lead to better and
larger fair next year, housed in larger
and more convenient building, and
that the representation will be more
liberal from all parts of the state, is
already the talk, and plans are being
considered for new and modern
grand stand that will offer accommo-
dations for twice the number that
crowded into the present structure
during the past week.
With the exception of today the
weather has been. all that could have
been desired by a most exacting pub
lie, and the throngs were pleased. To-
day, however, the weather was threat
ening from the start, and about the
time the races became most interest
ing huge clouds appeared in the west,
and soon the rain fell. Racing was
suspended for a short time, while the
visitors sought shelter on the upper
tiers of the grand stand and in the
betting sheds. The sun came out
again. and promising rainbow ap-
Deared in the northwest. 1t was only
a bluff. however. and soon the RAIN
bow hid behind the clouds. The clouds
opened again and an annoying rain
fell during the balance of the after
noon, making the track heavy and
causing delay with the races.
The attendance today was about a..
900. making a total for the week OF
about $4,000 or nearly 5000 more than
the attendance last wear
The judges had scarcely completed
the work of making the awards when
the fair closed. and it will be several
days before the proper classifications
shall have been made.

Practical Education.

The address of Superindent

the note Of the practical in edu-
cation.
1t is quite generally recognized
that our schools are not as
practical as they should be. We
are constantly striving for better.
ment in this respect and we are
making some progress, but there
has got to be a radical change be-
fore we shall begin to be at all
satisfied. We have long said that
manual training must 60 hand in
hand with mental training but
we are very slow in finding a
way to apply this principle in
actual school work,
The Pioneer earnestly hopes
that in the esta blishment of the
branch school of agriculture of
the university at Crookston,
authorized by the legislature last
winter, Mr.. Hoverstad may be
left free to work out his ideas
along the line of practical educa-
ton for we are confident that he
will be able to accomplish some
thing that will be a notable con-
to the cause of educa-
ton.
