THE RIGHT MAN.

The cordial and hearty enthusi-
asm which his candidacy for the
republican nomination for rep.
resentative from this district is
provoking, must be very crafty
ing to Mr.. Opsahl. From all
sides, from many of the in
luencial and progressive men of
the three counties comprising
the Sixtyfirst district, congratu-
lations are pouring in, accom-
panied by assurances of support;
and as the news of his candidacy
spreads, these will increase.
Mr.. Opsahl is the kind of man
whose candidacy for representa-
tive appeals to the popular fancy.
From all over the state the cry
has been going up for "strong
men for the legislature" It has
been pointed out that it is not the
governor who can accomplish
things in the line of drainage
and good roads, but the legisla.
ture. It does not matter whom
we have for governor, as far as
the issues mentioned are con-
cerned, if only we have the right
kind of men in the house and the
senate.
Beltrami county is answering
this call for "strong men" by put
ting in the field J. J. Opsahl, a
man who is as closely Unidentified
with the drainage and good roads
movement as any man in the dis
trict, and far more closely identi-
fed with it than any other man
who may be seeking legislative
honors in this district.
Mr.. Opsahl's candidacy is
meeting an enthusiastic recep-
ton because those who know
him, know he is the right man
for the place.. ...

A FATAL PROCEDURE.

Crookston Times: The Times
would respectfully suggest
to those newspapers who
are now devoting column after
column of space to Governor
Johnson in a vigorous effort to
prove that he has never done
anything to the railroads of
Minnesota which would entitle
him to the votes of the people
this fall that such tactics will
profit nobody but Governor
Johnson. i
Up to within a week or so ago
it was generally thought by the
people of the state that either
Cole or Johnson would be accept.
able to the railroads, or at least,
that the railroad interests had no
choice between the two men.
Suddenly the Republicans, how
ever, charged that Governor
Johnson has never done the rail
roads any harm, and Governor.
Johnson by way of defense i'm
mediately does them some harm.
1t appears to the Times that
Governor Johnson has all the
best of the argument, thus far.
Because of the action of Repub
licans he has demonstrated that
he has and will make the rail
roads be good. If there is an
issue in Minnesota between the
railroads and the people, Gov
ernor Johnson has ranged him
self emphatically alongside of
the people.
Meanwhile how about the Re.
pu blican candidate for governor?
He is only candidate and not an
official, and the best that he can
do is to promise that if elected
he will do what Governor John
son has done. AS a political
argument the advantage is all
with the Democrats, and the
longer the Repu blicans keep the
discussion up the better Govern
or Johnson's advantage is adver.
tised.
1t appears to the Times that it
might be better politics for the
Repu blican party Of Minnesota
and the Republican newspapers
to give some reasons why Cole
will make a good governor rather
than trying to pick flaws With
Johnson's railroad record.

Hatfield first became known to the
Los Angeles public about three years
ago when he proposed to produce
eighteen inches of water during the
rainy season. He was not taken SER

chemicals upon the upper air, and the

BUILDERS BREAK RECORDS
TweIve-story Building for New York
Evening Post Put Up in
Three Months

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Oct. 27-Three months
ago there was nothing but big hole in
the ground where the new building for
the Evening Post was to stand. Today
on that spot stands the skeleton of a
twelve-story steel building. The gram
ite and cut stone work of one story are
in place, the hollow tile floors and par
titions of eight stories are ready, the
plumbing, electric installation and ele-
Vator construction are we'll under way,
and carpenters are now putting In tenn
porary stairways and frames. Although
only started on August 1, it Is already
possible to get definite impression of
what the new building will be like when
completely finished.
1t is a striking example of the rapid
ity with which skyscrapers are now
put up by American builders. The con-
stant growth of business, requiring
larger office accommoda tions. and the
increasing value of the land upon which
big buildings must be erected have led
| to a demand for the utmost speed in
building construction, so that time has
become more important than cost IN
new buildings, every months delay
meaning a loss of thousands Of dollars
in rentals or interest.
ATcHlleCLS ana DullQeTS nave met IfllS
demand for speed by adopting the steel
type of construction, which enable
them to run up buildings of great height
with amazing rapidity. But the steel
has to be protected from rust and cor
rosion. Likewise the walls, floors and
partitions and other parts of the build
ing have to be absolutely fireproof. ,ro
meet these conditions builders encase
the steel in hollow tile. and build the
floors and partitions of the same ma
terial, no time having to be lost IN
waiting for the tile bricks to set or
harden. The adoption or the steel and
hollow tile type Of construction is one
of the reasons why even the biggest
skyscrapers take less than year to
put up.
Although buildings like the new home
for the Evening Post are run up in q
few months, they are not In any way
Jerry built. They are put up to last.
The Baltimore confiagration showed
they could Withstand fire; the Sar
FRANCISCO disaster showed they could
withstand both earthquake and fire. In
fact, the big steel and tile structures OF
New York. Chicago, Baltimore and
Pittsburg and other large cities are not
only examples Of rapid construction
but they represent the highest degree
Of perfection which American architects
and builders have attained In the ari
OF skyscraper building.

CHARGE SALESMAN
WITH BAD FAITH
SAY GOODS WERE 0BT AIMED ON
FALSE REPRESENTATIONS
Proprietors of Wholesale House Rec
ognize Man at Hotel Nadeau, and
Are substantiated by Clerk
Who Sold Goods

o. Ernest Kelly, travelling representa-
tive of the Goldstone Bros shirt and
overalls factory of San Francisco, was
arrested yesterday morning at the Hotel
Nadeau by Detectives HALEY and Nc
Kenzie on a felony charge.
Kelly is accused of having obtained
silks and other valuable materials ag-
gregating a value of SIS from the
Moore, Watson Wholesale dry goods
house, 119 North Los Angeles street,
September 8, representing himself to be
connected with the Aaron Alexander
dry goods store at Arraya Grande, say
ing that they had given him instruc-
tions to obtain the goods in person to
be credited to their account He also
gave them a large order for goods to
be sent by mail.
Inspired bv the mans appearance of
honesty, the credit clerk of the Moore
Watson firm granted the strangers re-
quest. Then trouble began.
Soon after the assignment of goods
had been shipped to Alexander & Co.,
Moore & Watson received notice that
the goods had not been ordered by
them and they refused to accept them
When the Watson people final
ly realized that they had been victim
lied they sent for the goods and paid
a freight bill Of more than $1O0 to re-
| gain them.
Detectives had been looking for the
man since his game was first discoV-
cred, but no trace of him was found
until Friday evening.
Recognized by Clerk
He was then seen by Detectives Hal
| ley and Mckenzie about the Nadeau
hotel. They "shadowed" him until they
had notified Moore & Watson of his ap-
prehension. Messrs Moore and Watson
went to the hotel and the man was
pointed out to them by the detectives.
| They instantly recognized him as the
one who had duped them several weeks
| before.
However, they were not willing that
he should be arrested until his identity
was absolutely assured. He was per-
mitted to remain unmolested until yes
| terday morning, when one of the clerks
of the Moore-Watson dry goods house
who knew nothing whatever about the
mans presence in the city was taken
to the hotel. The moment he saw Kelly
he declared: 'Why, that's the man who
played the confidence game"
Kelly was Immediately arrested, and
when taken before Captain of Detec-
tives Flammer yesterday morning he
admitted his guilt after long question:
| ing and was placed in the city Jail.
| He said that before he committed the
crime he had been involved In heavy
gambling losses at San Francisco and
| had been driven by impending financial
ruin to do what he did.
Capt Flammer recognized Kelly as a
man who had been arrested nearly ten
years ago in Los Angeles on a petty
larceny charge connected with fake
employment agency.

Stanford Students Sing and Are PeIted
with Eastern College CoIors in
Form of Carnations and
Chrysanthemums

David Starr Jordan was the guest
of honor at the monthly dinner of the
Los Angeles Cornell club at the An
gelus last night.
Mr.. Jordan's speech was largely a
eulogy Of former President Andrew d.
White of Cornell.
A comparison was drawn between
Mr.. White and Charles Eliot of Har-
ward, Murray Butler of Columbia, the
late President Harper of University of
Chicago, and other famous educators.
Mr.. Jordan showed to the satisfaction
of his hearers how Mr.. White excelled
in breadth of knowledge and depth of
interest in the world wide educational
movement.
"Other educators of America have
shown altogether too great tendency
to devote themselves solely to the
interests of their own university
Andrew d. White was too broad
minded to allow himself to become
self-centered. He devoted himself to
the betterment of all mankind. At the
suggestion of Mr.. White the late Le-
land Stanford called me to the great
California university. Mr.. Stanford
was such an admirer of Andrew d.
White and his methods that he ex-
pressed a desire that / build up the
Stanford university patterned after
the great ithaca Institution. Mr.. Stan
ford advised me to get all the Cornell
instructors 1 could persuade to come
to Stanford. A number of Comedians
have joined us. We should have pro-
cured others had not the Ithaca inSti-
tuition made them full professors to
hold thenn."
Brief speeches were made by DIR.
Baker OF San Diego and others made
brief speeches.
The Stanford football team showed
they were not only good enough to
defeat Pomona but they could make
good as singers.
When the Stanford boys came into
the banquet hall the Cornell men arose
and women arose and waiving red car
nations gave the Cornell yell followed
by three lusty Stanfords. The north
ern boys responded by singing the
alma mater and three cheers for Cor
nell.
Enthusiasm arose to a great height
when Comedians joined by Prof. Jor-
dan pelted the brawny victors from the
north with red carnations and white
chrysanthemums,
A pleasant feature of the banquet
was Miss Alice Jordans brief speech

Milton K. Young, Non-Partisan Candidate for
Judge of the Superior Court Appointed to
Position Where Judicial knowledge
and Action Is Deemed Necessary

Iilton r. Young, non-partisan can
didate for superior judge, was born in
Illinois and raised in Missouri, receiv-
ing his education at sedalia. In 1886
he located in Los Angeles, where he
has since resided, except the four years
when he was studying law in San
Francisco.
Mr.. Young was admitted to the bar
by the supreme cocurt Of this state in
1892, since which time he has prac-
ticed in Los Angeles. Four years ago
he was candidate for superior judge on
the Democratic ticket and ran about
1900 votes ahead of his ticket.
Mr.. Young is a member of the civil
service commission of the city of Los
Angeles Some months ago a. commits
sion of fifteen members was created by
the civic bodies of Los Angeles, the
board of supervisors and the city coun-
ell, to consider the question of the con-
