Party Logic

Sec'y Taft's speech at Minneapolis.
"As this is party of governmet. as
measures are controlled by party de-
cisions, the real progress must be
made along party lines; and if a man
separates from his party he loses al
Together any influence he may exert
undermining these policies.I donot-
at all advocate that man should ad-
here to party against high princi-
pie and conviction, but this life is
series of compromises, by which lit
tie by little, and step by step, pro-
gress toward better things is made.
All the good in the world cannot be
attained at one breath.
While, therefore, we must achieve
what we can at the time
we can, and must let other aims
and objects of the highest good abide
different opportunity for that at
tainment; while, therefore, we may
not agree with all the principles ad-
opted into Registration or into excu-
tive policy by a party with which we
are affiliated, we need not withdraw
from it on issues not the most inn
portant, if, on the whole, we believe
that more good can come from its
success than for that of its oppon-
ent.l

NO GREEN BUGS
in SO. OAK. FIELDS
Experts Have Examined and Re-
port no Bugs

The Kansas and southern states
green bug" scare caused reports to
be circulated that north west wheat
fields were also infected, but experts
contradict this statement. The
Huron Huronite says:
"The press dispatches from Huron
to the effect that our grain fields are
infected with the green bug is with
out foundation in fact.
Mr. A. c. Johnson, General Agent
for the rth-Western and one of
the best authorities on crops in the
Northwest, has been in Huron for
the past two days and during his stay
here, accompanied by j. H. Wind
hurst, local grain dealer, has visited
the fields previously inspected by the
local correspondent and found nc
green bugs whatever. 1t is true
that the native aphis is to be found
in all the grain fields but this is
nothing unusual and is in no way
alarming.
The samples of the green bug ex-
amined by the Van .Dusen people
were those discovered and sent in
from here on which the press cores
pondent based his dispatch that our
fields were infested with green bugs.
The bacteriologist who have made
an examination of the bugs sent him
from this section of the state and
from Iowa have no hesitancy in de.
claring that the green bug discover.
ed in fields in this part of the North
west have been here for years and
are in no way dangerous to crops

George McCarl followed well bor-
ing, was familiar with the work, and
was putting down we'll on his bro
theirs farm. The well in which he
lost his life, however, was being put
down upon the farm of Willard
Shaw's widow by Harry Spain's well
rig, in charge of Lester Ludlam.
When the we'll reached 100 feet a
stone was encountered. Lester Lud-
lam says he was down in the well
but could not move the stone. He
decided that it would have to be
blasted out. For this reason he
went after George McCarl few
miles distant, to have him put in the
charge, which he did Wednesday
night. Next day George went down
in the we'll astride a piece of 2x4
timber, holding on to the iron rod.
Ludlam says that he wanted Geoge
to place the rope about his body as
customary, but George thought it
was not necessary. He put down the
lantern which burned all right. He
then went down astride the piece of
2x4 and holding the rod in his hands
with the lantern swung below him
on rope. He got down and moved
the stone, and then called
Pull up-quick."
Ludlam started the rig to pull up
but was Mortified to find that his
companion was not on the rod. He
called to him but got no answer.
AS Ludlam was alone, with no one
on the place except Mrs Shaw he
could not go down. He let down a
barrel in the hope of getting air to
him, and then summoned help of the
neihgbors by telephone.
After help came Chris Schmidt
went down and brought up the bar
rel. which had slipped off the rope.
Then Jack Scott, an experienced
we'll man, went down and succeeded
in getting a rope around the BODY,
and he was pulled up. But this all
required some three hours, and life
was extinct.
AS the lantern did not go out in
the well, it is assumed that the fumes
that over came him were from
the dynamite used in blasting.
George A. McCarl was the oldest
son of Mr. and Mrs A. P McCarl
pioneer settlers of southern Hand
County. His brother Floyd McCarl
conducts livery business in Miller,
and two other brothers are likewise
engaged in Washington. Deceased
was born in Pike County, H., May
%, 1870, moved with his parents to
Missouri, then to South Dakota in
1884. He was an Industrious, res
pected single man. and has spent
the greater portion of his 81 years of
life upon the farm in southern Hand
County.
