POLITICAL GOSSIP
TIE SOCIALIST PLATFORM

1t has been long time since | have
burdened the editor and troubled the
reader with an article for publication.
1t seems pertinent, at this time, to
call the attention of the voters of this
county to theprinciples OF the respect
i've political parties as enunciated in
their respective platforms.
Read the platform and study the
principles therein expressed and de-
clared. Do not study the personnel of
the tickets and vote for the men, but
study the platform and vote for prin-
ciples.
What difference does it make what
persons fill the offices? Ii every per-
son had the right to life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness" and an
equal opportunity to produce and ac-
.qulre the necessities and pleasures OF
life there would not be such scram-
bic for office.
The nominees on the socialist tick
.et are not seeking office. If that were
their object they would have been
shouting loud and long for the insur-
gents. Their object is to propagate
the principles which they believe will
be Tor the best interests of the whole
people and for all peoples.
Again ask you to read the platform

Cheaper Fuel

The HurOnite bears evidence that it
pays to have railway competition, as
follows:
Hard coal freight rates to Huron have
been reduced 90 cents a ton and soft
coal freight charges IS cents a ton by
way olthe Great Northern. Other roads
will Of course have to meet this reduc-
ton and Huron dealers will Of course
sell coal at Just this much less per ton.
This will mean saving Of thousands
OF dollars to Huron people and to the
farmers OF this county.
The action Of the Great Northern is
without parallel in railroad history.
Jim Hill has made an annual donation
OF millions OF dollars to people along
his lines by the voluntary reduction in
grain carrying charges. This reduc.

GOOD ROADS.
NEED FOR TRAINED ROAD MAKERS

NEED FOR TRAINED ROAD MAKERS
1t is somewhat astonishing to learn
that sum aggregating nearly three
million is spent annually by the rural
districts OF our state for roads and
bridges. 1t is hard to believe that in
the last ten years about twenty-five
million dollars have been spent for
these purposes outside Of the cities and
villages, especially SO when the con-
dition of the roads and bridges is taken
into account. They have now practi-
cally the same appearance that they
used to have before those twenty-five
millions were spent. The money has
been dropped into the holes in our
roads.
But more astonishing than the great
ness OF these amounts is the fact that
they have been spent on engineering
projects in almost every instance with
out the advice Of a trained man. We
would naturally think man who start
ed to build % million dollar rail-
road was absolutely crazy if he did not
hire the best engineering talent he could
get. In fact the courts would promptly
be asked to appoint guardian by his
heirs if he selected men who had no
experience and no technical training
for the work. Yet we 60 on in this state

the cost for building and grounds to

and white girls of our town and coun-
ty. The large number of boys and
girls who are deprived of the privilege
OF entering our schools, or who are
compelled to be In an oyercrow;lcd

on our intelligence and our patriotism.
