An ULTERIOR MOTIVE.

Several months ago the Evening
Times called attention to the fact that
the real purpose of the democracy of
this state was nothing more than a
gigantic political scheme on the part
OF few ambitious and hungry leaders
70 secure control of the national gov
eminent by practicing fraud and de-
ception upon the voters of the coun-
try; that its real intention was to
destroy the republican majorities in
the two houses of the national legis-
lature and ruin the last two years of
the administration of President Roose-
velt, realizing that if the democratic
party did not do that, it would in all
probability be relegated to the shelf
which contains the mummified re-
mains of all political parties which
have outlived their usefulness and be-
come dangerous to the welfare of the
country.
Attention was called to the fact in
these columns that the democratic
management had selected number
of states in which there was some
hopes OF republican dissatisfaction
and that it would concentrate its eff
forts upon these to elect a democratic
majority in the lower house, thereby
tying the hands of the president in
any legislation which he and the SEN
ate might favor. Still another part Of
the program was that the party would
attempt to elect a number of state Of
Ulcers so that from these points of
vantage the democrats could have
far better opportunity to elect some
spectacular and dangerous leader to
the presidency in two years and at
the same time secure enough of the
hold-cver members of the legislature
to make a good beginning in the cleo
ton of a democratic senator in two
years.
Every particle of that warning is
proving itself to have been we'll found
ed. The democrats in this state are
seeking to elect John Burke governor

his official power can be used two
years hence in giving the democrats
. still larger number of offices. 1t is
seeking to defeat Gronna and Mar
shall SO that it will have a better
chance to oppose republican policies
in the next congress. 1t is seeking to
elect democratic state senators in Or
der that they may help to elect a
United States senator two
years hence. And yet the party claims
these efforts are not partisan. We

New lork. Oct 12-This was a gala
day for the Italian residents OF the
metropolis. The occasion was the un-

ers included prominent Americans anil
Italians. brought together by the bond
OF their love for the great operate
genius. Another feature OF the I'M
yelling program was children's
chorus of two thousand voices.
The Verdi memorial is the work of
Chevalier Fasquale Civiletti. we'll
known sculpture of Palermo. Sicily.
The monument is about twenty feet
in height and is composed entirely IF
fine Carrara marble and dark tinted
granite. On top of round granite
shaft. which is capped by laurel
wreath. stands the imposing figure of
Verdi as he looked in the heydey of
his career. The granite shaft on which
the figure OF the composer stands rests
on square base of the same dark
stone, and surrounding the central
column are four smaller figures, in
Carrara marble. representing operate
creations of Verdi. They are "Otello,"
Aida" "Falstaff." and La Forza del
Destino."
The money for the monument was
raised by popular subscription. Soon
after the death OF Verdi. on January
25. 1901, Signor Charles Barsotti. the
editor of an Italian newspaper, con-
ceived the idea of collecting sub
scription TO perpetuate in marble the
memory OF ltaly's favorite composer
and the man whose operas were loved
by the whole world. Contributions
poured in from all parts of the United
States from Italians who recently emf
grated to this country and from those
who have become American citizens.
In the end $4,000 was subscribed to the
monument fund.

OCTOBER WILL Be STORMY MONTH
Hicks Says Little Chance For Indian
Summer from Now On.

And the month is beginning we'll to
fulfill the prophecy. Sunday, a wind
storm; Monday dust storm; Tues
day snow storm, and today you may
have anything you choose in summer
weather. Here is what Prophet Hicks
says about it.:
THE regular storm period from the
End to the 9TH will take up the Dis
turbances and renew and prolong
them during the first week of the
month. Taking the country as q
whole. every variety of storm fISn
tropical and tornado southwark, ],
boreal with early sleet and snow In
the extreme north and northwest are
among the probabilities at this time.
Be on the watch, in the northwest, for
this boreal wave as early as the 23d to
25th.
"A reactionary storm period is CEN
tered on the 10th. 18th and 18th. Look
at this time for a return of cloudiness
and autumnal rains and gales, ex-
tremes of temperature. with storms
all the way from vicious lightning
and thunder to sudden change into al
most winter storms and temperatures
"A regular storm period covers the
10th to the goth. In all probability
this Will prove one of the most severe
and dangerous storm periods of the
month, If not the whole autumn. Frost
will work into central to southern
regions from the 18th to 22d, or dates
touching. From the 18th to the Goth
is most probable time for some more
earthquakes.
"A reactionary storm period is CEN
trail on the 23d to 25th, at which time
change to warmer falling barometer,
with cloudiness and more autumnal
rain may be expected.
regular storm period covers the
last five days of the month, embrac.
ing the second full moon on the 31st,
and moon on the equator on the 29th.
Storm areas will develop in the west
and fro mthe 2Sth to 31st wide
stretches or cloudiness, rain and snow
will pass across the whole country
fran west to east"
No Summer In 1910.
Ninety years ago was the year
without summer. None of our citizens
remember 1t. but history says that in
1916 frost occurred every month of the
year.
Ice formed half inch thick in
May, snow fell to the depth of three
inches in New York and Massachu-
sets in June. ice formed the thick
ness of a window glass through New
York on the 5th Of July. The corn
crop was so badly injured by frost
that none of It matured. The greater
part of it was cut and dried for fod-
der. Seed corn for the spring Of 1917
was from the crop of 1915.

thereby with out regard to a cash
valuation; and, provided further. that
nothing herein contained shall be
construed to affect, modify or repeal
any existing law providing for the tax
alton Of the gross earnings of rail-
roads,"
snlnried Highway commlxsion.
The second proposed amendment
is simply a slight reconstruction of the
one now in force pertaining to roads
and bridges, know as section 16. and
has for it's end the creation of
salaried state highway commission
AS the law stands now. there can be-
no such body The amendment would
leave it optional with the legislature
to make the commission salaried or
not. and at the same time increase the
state tax from one-twentieth of a mill
to one-fourth of mill. In the dis
tribution of the tax, however, it limits
the amount that each county shall re-
ceive for road and bridge purposes
to per cent, or less than one-half of
] per cent of the total fund rails
ed and expended during the year.
The specific object of the amendment
is to provide for salaried commits
sion.
TO Peddle Garden Product. Without
License.
The third proposed Amendment will,
if added. be known as section IL. 1t
enables any person to sell or peddle
the products of his farm or garden
without obtaining license therefor.
That it will appeal to the farming and
gardening population of the state goes
without saying.
All three amendments will be print
en- on separate ballot. and will be
gwen in language that any one Of fair
intelligence can understand. That
there may not be any mistake, the
amendments in full, together with
detailed explanation, prepared by At
torney General Young. are now being
published in every county in the state.
This is required by the law.

FARM MOTIVE POWER.

The jamestown Alert takes rather
an advanced position on the matter of
the transportation of the wheat croD
from the farm to the elevator, but one
which is destined at no distant day to
receive attention from the farmers of
the grain growing sections of the
country. The Alert believes that in
time instead of the farmer using
horses to draw the grain to the rail-
road in small lots and at heavy ex-
pense, the work will be done by en-

NOT AFRAID TO SPECIFY.

The democrats having been unable
TO find single instance in the admin
istration of state affairs which MIR.
Burke would dare change. his loud
pretensions of reform having melted
into mist when required to show what
he would reform. and his ability as
an executive having been analyzed
and found to be no greater than that
OF any other ordinary man and much
less than many others. he is down
from the pedestal upon which he was
placed by the democracy which once
howled itself hoarse over Grover
Cleveland and Judge Parker, and can
be reckoned with as a mortal man.
Much has been said of Burke's
training as a lawyer. But wherein
an executive has need of the profess
sional training of lawyer in the dis
charge Of his duties the enthusiastic
democracy has not pointed out. Now
look at the other side of the PROPOSE
ton. The financial concerns of the
state are the most important matters
with which the executive has to deal,
Governor Sarles has spent his entire
life in business affairs and is certain
ly better qualified to handle such mat
tiers than Burke who has had less ex-
perience in the same thing than nine
out of every ten farmers in the state.
The greatest system of bookkeeping
ever inaugurated in any state was in
troduced by Governor Sarles when he
required the different departments to
adopt the sab-youcher system where
by every dollar alleged to have besS
expended in the way of expenses for
which the state is liable through the
managing boards of its state institu-
tons, sheriffs and other officials. is
accounted for under oath and accom-
panied by receipts from parties re-
ceiving the moneys for which the state
Is charged. This affords a double
check and experience shows that il
has effected great saving to the
states exchequer.
The governors insistance on a
change in the manner of investing
school funds, in the purchase of school
district bonds direct at per cent in.
stead of dealing through brokers and
middlemen, thus giving the districts
instead OF the brokers the benefit of
one per cent. is reform that is appre-
ciated by every tax payer in the state.
Then Governor Sarles is not afraid
to state to the voters of the state what
reforms and changes he desires to
make in the future In a speech at
Bismarck he stated that he desired
to have the system of board of con-
troll for the state institutions adopted
in this state. He has his reasons for
this change and has the manhood and
the honesty to say so. He favors such
change and says SO. The voters
know where he stands. will the DEM
ocrats who are doing the bowling
dervish act as to what John Burke
will do, point to single instance
where he has had the manhood to
stand up and tell the voters of the
state where he stands on single
issue?
Facts are stubborn things and the
people of this state want them in this
campaign

FIRE PROTECTION.

4 few days ago the town of Nor
wich in the western part of the state
had close call from total destruc
ton by fire. The circumstance serves
to call attention to the fact that the
danger of loss from fire in the smaller
towns is much greater than is gen.
orally supposed. AS rule the small
er villages do not consider the keep
ing OF sufficient fire apparatus very
necessary thing. and on the plan of
the Arkansas man who did net cover
his house when it was not raining be-
cause 1t did not need it then, and when
1t was raining because it was not con-
venient to do so, they consider that
the purchase OF such things when they
are not needed at fires is an unneces-
sary expense.
When the fire does come the town
is often swept out of existence and
the property loss falls heavy on those
who have been caught unprepared.
Another thing is that in such towns
the rate of insurance is higher than il
would be If there were adequate fire
protection. The reduction in the rates
OF insurance would be equal to the
increased taxation necessary to pur-
chase and keep ready for use fire
apparatus.
When the fire comes the insurance
companies are not the only losers for
it is indeed a rare thing for the policy
to cover the entire value OF the prop
erty. In fact the principle of insur-
ance is that the policy shall cover
but three-fourths OF the property
value SO as to prevent the insured
from using the insurance for q con-
tract of sale and converting the build
ing into cash by the use of a fire.
In but few Of the smaller towns of
the state is there any attempt to keen
a fire fighting apparatus. The prop
erty is at the mercy of the flames once
they get started. 1t would seem that
1t would be cheaper to procure some
of the chemical plans for extinguish-
ing CONGREGATIONS and even if it re-
CURED the expense of a man to care
for the same it would not be a money
loss. especially in the case of i, dis
astrous fire such as visited LansforI
a few months ago, and which is liable
to occur at any time in any town.
