GILLIs MAY RECOVER.

The Mountaineer has the following
account of a serious accident which
happened near Walhalla:
Tuesday morning about Z o'clock a
frightful accident happened at the Van
Slyck home, and Ernest ellis is ly-
ing at the point of death as the re-
suit. The threshing crew were about
to pu!! CIT to another setting and the
engine was attached to the separator.
The long drive belt being coiled up on
the tongue of the separator, when
Ernest went in to steady it and keep
1t from falling to the ground. The
belt Is heavy and considerable of it
was dragging and in his efforts to re-
place 1t on the tongue he either Slip
ped or was tripped by 1t, and fell. His
fall was not noticed by the engineer
and before others could stop him the
front wheel of the separator had
passed along the full length of the
fallen man, crushing him into the
ground, head and all. A messenger
was sent at once for DR.. Mowatt, who
lost no time in getting to the scene.
and has done what he could to relieve
the suf1erings of Ernest, and the out
come Is as yet uncertainf. No bones
OF the limbs or body have been found
broken, but at this writing the ply
stefan has not been able to make thte
thorough examination that ia neces-
sary: The skull was more or less
crushed and one eye Is pressed out of
place considerably, yet the patient is
conscious and talks nationally, SO that
1T does not seem that the brain has
been affected While the man is very
low. and the chances seem to be
against him, 1t is possible that he NAV
recover.

Dakota He has more friends
among our citizens than any other
democrat o + national prominence.
Under these conditions there Is no
doubt that upon conservative plat
form he would have gathered far more
than his party strength in the state
He could not have carried it of course,
but he would have enabled the state
democracy to make record which
that party would have used to good
advantage in attempting to white
down the republican majority.
But the west is not yet ready to
have the railroads turned over to the
general government even if such
thing as that were possible. This
country is developing. 1t is almost
entirely agricultural and the products
of the farms are almost worthless
except they are carried to market by
the railroads. The new portions of
the country are wholly dependent up
on the building of the roads for de-
velopment. They make the prosperity
of the northwest.
There is no indication that the slow
working processes of the machinery
of the government would build the
roads into the new county as quickly
as do the railroad companies them
selves. For after all the talk about
combinations of capital. this state has
witnessed fight among the COMPETE
| tors for business in the northern por-
ton of the state which clearly demon
strates the fact that where ever there
| is possibility of making a dollar the
railroads under the stimulus of COM
petition will be there.
| 1t is childish to talk of the building
of new roads and the establishment of
towns, all Of which are of necessity
involved in Mr.. Bryan's academic
plan OF government ownership, with
out the delays consequent upon the
conducting of a great business by Il
government hundreds of miles away

PURELY IDEALISTIC.

=. noa-partisan judiciary" This is
an attractive term and furnishes a
fascinating subject. 1t is the last
and latest morsel to be rolled under
the tongue of the idealist, and gives
fair promise to survive until election
day. The real truth is that there is
no such thing as a non-partisan iu-
dietary, never has been and never will
be. If the gentlemen who are adyo-
eating it are asked what is meant by
1t they would probably reply that it
means court composed of both re-
publicans and democrats. Why should
any court be so constituted, and what
would be gained?
There are no partisan questions to
be determined by our state supreme
court, and if there were, and SUD-
posing two members to be republican
and one democrat what would be
expected of them? Naturally the adj
vocates of "a non-partisan judiciary
would be astonished If the court in
its decision did not divide along par
tisan lines, just as the supreme court
of the United States has divided from
the beginning of the government
And would that be non-partisan
decision? Only idealists will main
tain that it would 1t would be far
more rational to advocate a court
composed of judges who have no
political convictions of any sort-a
mugmump court. if you please.
II the advocates OF nom partisan
judiciary can guarantee that Judge
FISK would cease TO be democrat if
elected to the supreme bench there
might be some excuse for our ideal
istic friends in voting for him.
Let us SUPPOSE that question in
VOlvinS party policy should come be-
fore the supreme court. what would
our democratic friends say if Judge
Fisk, were he member of the court
should take the republican view of
it? They would be obliged to admit
that it was a non-partisan decision.
Then why not demand that the court
be composed entirely of democrats as
it is now composed entirely of re-
publicans?
Wherein is the advantage of minor
jty party representation on the bench,

pie should even then carefully con-
slider as to whether they may not be
worse off than before by having the
change. Make the bosses your SER
wants, give them your advice and as
sistance and they will prove to be
powers for good instead of evil. The
dangerous boss is the one who grows
away from the people. They are all
human. If you keep in touch with
them, you will help them to give bet
ter government to the country. As
long as it does not seem within rea-
son to abolish the political bosses re-
form them-if they need it-instead
OF changing leaders, and thereby
jumping from the frying pan into the
fire.

With people spending days searching
for comfortable rooms and houses in
this city, it would look as though the
public would arise to the importance
OF building a street railway so that
the congested condition of the city
could be relieved. Every modern room
in the city is taken and modern dwell
ing houses in reasonable proximity to
the business districts are unknown.
With a street car line the houses in
the outlying streets would be in as
much demand as those in the heart
OF the city. But people can not afford
to make the trip in winter from these
residences to their business places.

under the non-partisan plan. unless it
is proposed that judge shall play
the hypocrite?
The truth is that our idealistic
friends. if they would have firm
foundation for their theories. must
first sap every human element from
their followers. Otherwise they must
trust to the mate honesty of our
judiciary.

SAVING THE THREsHlNG BILL.

NC pIouuCeu Wy american inventive
genius machine which will succeed
in threshing direct from the field and
without the need of teams to bring the
grain to the machine 1t is even claim
ed that the result has been accom-
plished and that there is possibility
that within a very few years the ques-
ton of farm help at threshing time
will have been solved.
Machinery has come to take the
place of hand labor in nearly every
industry. The farm is among the last
to profit by its introduction. This
was to some extent due to the pre-
JUDGE in favor of the old reliable
horse. The farmer was 10th to give
up the customs with which he had
been familiar since his boyhood, and
chung to the old ways and the old
means.
But he is learning that in the COM
petition of business life he must econ
omize. The reduction of operating
expenses on the farm has finally forced
itself upon him. and no matter what
the means. wherever this can be ac-
complished it is now done. 1t is the
application of high standard business
1>s- "a. TT
threshing of the crops of the north
west has cost too much money. There
must be some way of reducing this
else the profit of the farms will be
consumed in the threshing.
One of the new machines which
gathers the shocks as it travels over
the fields and threshes the grain while
doing so has been in operation on the
Elk Valley farm near Larimore, and
newspaper correspondent who re-
Gently investigated its work says con-
corning it: The machines do the
work in transit over the wheat field.
To the ordinary observer it was an in
teresting sight and at bound he was
obliged to reach the conclusion, that
first of all the machines demonstrated
the great economy of labor. Here
was machine capable of threshing at
the rate of 500 bushels day and
being operated with an engineer, one
separator man, two pitchers and one
man and team working the shock
loader, in all five men instead of six
teen men and one team in place of
six teams and no water tank team
and man" which is positive necessity
connected with the operation of a
steam thresher 1t will thresh more
shocks and can deliver the grain into
the tank at 11a cents per bushel in
steadof to 10 cents bushel.
If these facts shall prove applicable
to the general use OF the machine there
is no reason why they should not be
in operation on every farm in the coun-
try within a very short time. They
will relieve the northwest of the need
of imported labor every year, which
because of the high price it can COM
mand, increases the expense of saw
ing crop from ten to twenty per
cent. Once in use they will allow sew
eral cents more per bushel profit to
the grain growers and correspond
ing larger income from the land.

A Reformer Who Needs Reforming.


The Grand Forks Herald does not
like the continued expose of the state
printing profit, and the Herald in try
ing to explain it's connection admits
that 1t was guilty, but no worse than
other firms that combine for the pur-
pose of cutting down the expenses.
The Herald has always been held up
as one of the great moral papers of
the state. but alas, how the mighty
has fallen. Its editor, Geo. B. Win
ship. was at one time even strongly
mentioned for governor. and only this
spring started in to reform the republic
can party. The Leader has always
commended that reformation should be-
gin at home and those at the head of
a great reform movement should not
have the least faint or connection with
anything that savors of graft.

The World,

One of the most remarkable ex-
cuses ever advanced by a stage en-
ploye for not being on hand for
performance was that given the stage
manager OF THE World" company
which appears for one night on Mon
day, Sept. Gath. The company was
playing medium sized city in Iowa
where the stage crew of the theater
was shomewhat short handed and the
stage hand in question had been in
dulging somewhat too freely in the
flowing bowl as result of which
when show time came he was not to
be found, therefor entailing consider
able extra work on those who were on
hand. Immediately at the close OF
the performance the stage manager
started out to look for the delinquent
one with look in his eye that meant
trouble.
The man with the Bun" was found
at last, asleep in bar room. Shak-
ing him awake the manager profanely
demanded the cause of his non-ap-
pearance and the rudely awakened
one still decidedly fuddled replied,
Look here Bill, l seen the picture
of the ship wreck scene. and now Bill,
you just know ! couldn't stand around
in that water with this cold of mine"

1t takes time for stranger, be he
ever so aggressive, to learn that in
North Dakota there are no castles;
that every man is accounted the equal
of his neighbor and that those who
toll and carry the calloused hands are
the bone and sinew of the country. 1t
takes time to learn that in North
Dakota no man regards himself too
small to meet and mingle with any of
his fellowmen. North Dakota is not
populated with men from the slums
of the cities who can be carried away
by an appeal to their lowest passions
and induced to vote because they are
the spurned and outcast of society
The citizens of this state are noblemen
who laugh at the ignorance of the man
who attempts to secure votes by such
disreputable means.

ANOTHER DIyERSlFlCATION.

Every year proves the possibilities
of Investigation OF the farming in
dustries in this state with profit to
those who are willing to become the
leaders in the movement. A farmer
near Grafton who had not been in the
state long enough to become imbued
with the idea of growing nothing but
wheat planted two acres OF broom
corn this season.
The crop has already been harvested
and was fully matured at the time.
and the yield per acre was not far
from ton. Broom corn sells on the
market for 1920 to $3.50 per ton ac-
cording to the grade, this being deter
mined by the toughness of the straws
and the length of the head. The
former is obtained by the rapid growth
of the plant, a condition which would
be easily accomplished in this coun-
try because OF the rapidly with which
plant life grows and develops.
There is a market for the product,
and in fact the demand is so much
greater than the supply that efforts
are, being made to find substitute for
it. 1t requires the richest of land
to mature the plant so that it does
not become dwarfed in it's growth and
therefore worthless. This is the rea-
son why that which could be grown
in this state would be found at the
very top of the market.
Once it becomes one of the accepted
crops OF the northwest there is
possibility that factories which would
be required to convert it into the
finished product would be located here
also, and out OF the two would come
sufficient industries to give employ
ment to hundreds of people.
