Destroyed by Fire.
FOUR OTHER TOWNS IN DANGER
Forest Fires on Mesaba Range Are
Famed Into Increased Fury
by the High wind That
Prevails.

DULUTH. MINI, Sept. S.-The Mesaba
range last night was threatened with an out
break Of the fire which swept away CHS
home Saturday and destroyed thousands Of
acres of standing timber. After a day OF
quiet, the flames which died down Sunday
were famed into renewed fury again today
and are sweeping or toward Hibbing, Bull
and Nashwauk from the south.
Snowfall, 100 inhabitants, was destroyed
this afternoon by a fire that came on sud
denly. The people had no opportunity to
fight the flames and fled in terror. Snow
ball is about two miles from Nashwauk.
Brooklyn, a small suburb of Hiding. is
threatened by fire. Bull and Nashwauk,
which were threatened with destruction
Saturday, are again in danger. The citizens
are fighting the flames desperately.
Aurora Is surrounded by fires.
Mitchell, a small town about one mile
southeast Of Hibbing, was threatened with
destruction all day today, and was saved
only by the heroic efforts of the inhabi-
tants and the employees Of the Duluth.
Mesaba & Northern railway, whose round
house is situated there. Several hundred
men are still guarding the place. The pine
timber which surrounds Mitchell has been
almost completely destroyed. Between
Nashwauk and Hibbing, the forests are one
continuous front Of flames. From Hibbing
1t is an appalling sight, and great clouds
Of smoke have been rolling over the city

PETERSON THE PRIZE WINNER
High school Boy Takes First In
Manawa Athletic Meet.

A. Peterson, a high school athlete. carried
off the honors at the field meet held yester-
day afternoon on the golf links at Laks
Manawa, by the Council Bluffs Rowing
association, winning five out Of the min
events on the program. While II is doubt
full II any records were broken, still there
was some good sport enjoyed by a fair
sized crowd. The meet was much Of an
impromptu affair and the track officials
were somewhat tardy in getting the pro-
gram started. Painter Knox was referee;
Joe Bone acted as Judge, while Lloyd Grif-
fifth was general manager. There were
several timekeepers and their watches all
varied, so the time given for the running
events cannot be considered entirely
auththentic.
There was only one accident, and that
was of a minor character. In the baseball
trowing event a reporter for one Of the
papers stopped n ball with his foot unin-
tentionally. Prizes we're awarded the win
ner in each event.

WILLIAM j. BRYAN.

Whatever the future las in store
for William j. Bryan will be watched
with abiding interest.
In his three campaigns for the
first office in the land he has devel-
Oped traits which American people
admire-courage courteous treat
ment of the opposition. cheerfulness
in the hour of defeat. He did not sulk
in his tent, as did others who have
experienced the poignancy of defeat
in seeking the presidency, but readi-
ly adjusted himself to duties which
took his mind from brooding over
the great disappointment and gave
him comparative content.
The magnetic qualities of Mr.. Bry-
an, combined with his oratory, made
him a formidable adversary in plead
ing for the suffrage of his fellow
citizens His powers to sway multi
tudes made those disputing his can
didacy anxious to a degree little re-
allied by those unfamiliar with the
inner workings of politics, and the
fears awakened were not dispelled
until the votes were counted We
have to go back to Henry Clay to
find a man so near the hearts of his
followers as Mr.. Bryan. Only his
mastery over men made it possible
for him to be the candidate of a
great party for president three times
something unparalleled in poll
tics.
From this latest defeat Mr.. Bryan
energies with smile. He has done
his duty to the party and in return
has won it's gratitude, and by its per
mission will continue to be its fore
most representative for sometime to
come.
Bryan is too strong 4 man to be
overcome by reverses. He will exer-
else a potent influence in the nation,
and whatever he has to say will be
listened to with interest and profit
as coming from one OF the great
men Of the country.

THE HOSTING OF HEARST.

From the Augusta Herald.
Always it is delightful to see the
engineer hoist with his own petard
especially when that petard happens
to be charged with vulgarity, roWdy-
ism and viciousness of the lowest and
cOmmOnest kind. II Mr.. William R.
Hearst has been praying for the gold
en- rule reversed, that others might
do to him as he has done to them,
his prayer has been abundantly, lit
orally and explicitly answered
When he came in contact with Gov
ernOr Haskell of Oklahoma he struck
a man Of his own kind, if not after
his own heart; for blackguards rarely
like or enjoy each other. All the
roWdyism, all the qualities and meth
DDS of the cheap Snowman and flashy
charlatan that mark Hearst are vivid
in Haskell.
Smashing in the door of a state
room on sleeping car against the
screaming protests of a partly un-
dressed woman to serve a paper in
civil process on the wOman's hus-
band is illegal, coarsely spectacular,
violation of all proprieties, ameni-
ties and decencies. 1t is the same
kind of thing, however, that Hearst
has had his unfortunate hirelings
and hangers-on do for him against
other men. There is kind of rude
justice in the fact that Haskell has
had it done to Hearst
We have no doubt that both these
individuals are delighted with the en-
tire transaction. 1t brings them into
the newspapers in a new sensation
gives them an opportunity to pose
and to exchange the kind of language
in which both delight The few peo-
pie who follow them will applaud vo-
ciferOusly.

A lot OF ROT.

Since Tuesdays election good
deal of silly talk has been INDUCED
in by people who should know better
and a lot of stuff printed by newspa-
pers which needed something to fill
space about large republican gains
in Georgia and the state being on
the verge of going over to the re-
publican party. For instance, the
following from some fellow who was
talking through his hat has appeared
in a prominent daily:
I'VE claim the greatest vic
tory of the campaign, as the
fight was made without outside
aid of money or speakers and
with the negro not voting. Had
the registered negro vote been
cast the state would have given
Taft a majority over all. 1t
was a white mans fight, and the
result makes Georgia a battle
ground in 1912.
An analysis of the vote of Tues
days election will not verify the
above. In fact, it will show that just
the reverse is true. Here in Ter
rell county, where there was an
increase over the Roosevelt vote of
81. more negroes voted at the Daw-
son precinct alone for Taft than
there were republican votes poIled in
the entire county four years ago.
And what happened here is pretty
safe guide in arriving at conclu-
sion as to the whole state.
While the republican vote in the
state was a few thousand more than
Roosevelt's in 1904 it was 10000
less than McKinleys in 1896, and the
Atlanta Journal Of Sunday printed
figures from the official records
which show that Taft's vote in Geor-
gia was not as much as the average
vote has been in this
state in the last five or six elections.
That the increase of the Taft vote
over the Roosevelt vote was due to
the large number of negroes who,
by reason of agitation in the state
campaign, had their interest in poll
tics revived and qualified to vote,
and took the trouble to do so, is
a fact of which every well-informed
person is aware, and which no
amount of talk can rub out.
The claim that Georgia is about to
leave the democratic party is rot,
and a lot of it.

Regarding the Tariff.

From the Thomson Free Lance
In New York city recently Gov
ernor Swanson of Virginia, in a
speech before the Commercial Trav-
elers' League, said the working
man is thirty per cent. worse off
since the Dingley tariff bill was
passed. Since the law was enacted
the cost Of living has increased 40
per cent Governor Swanson said
that the position of the democratic
party is that a man should be taxed
on what he has, and not on what
ne needs, as is done by means of a
tarn tax on the daily necessaries of
NE. He pointed out the fact that
all the trusts have been formed un-
der the Dingley law, and that the
trusts could easily be destroyed bv
the repeal of the Dingley tariff.
