Why SpaIding Should Be
Defeated,

BY filing petition for the democratic
nomination for Justice of the Supreme
Court, Judge Spaulding announces in adj
vance that he will not abide by the result
of the republican primaries, but If he is
defeated in his efforts to obtain the repub-
lican nomination he will run on the demo-
cratic ticket. His course will not meet
the approval of either republicans or
democrats 1t. fOrfeits whatever claim he
may have to republican support.
. Since he became member. on Febur-
AIRY 7, 1907. Judge Spaulding has only done
about one-third of the work accomplished
by either of his associates, the present
figures showing 1o opinions written by
Spaulding, 81 by Fiske and about 50 by
Morgan during the same period.
Edward H. Wright, Judge Spaulding's
opponent for the republican nomination,
is conceded in every way fitted for the
office of Justice of the Supreme Court
He is a lawyer and not politician. His
briefs are model. His opinions on legal
| questions are respected by judges and law
yers alike. He has had wide experience
in the practice During the campaign of
! two years ago it was stated by the support
ers of Judge Fiske that that eminent jurist
had had twenty-sx cases before. the ST.
preme Court of the state before he went
upon the bench, and the record was con
sidered unusual Mr.. Wright has pre-
pared. briefed and argued over fifty cases
before that court. Fully three -fourhts OF
the lawyers of the state will vote for MIR.
Wright All republicans should do like
wise, and leave Judge Spaulding to get such
support as he can from the democrats
whose nomination he isnow seeking.

The announcement of Joseph
A. Kitchen, candidate for rc~elec-
ton to the office of County Super
intendent of Schools, has appeared
in our columns for some time.
The school patrons of the coun-
ty are fortunate to have the school
system of the county headed by
so able teacher, organizer and
superintendent as Mr.. Kitchen.
Mr.. Kitchen is now serving his
first term of office, having been
in a little over one year. During
this period the entire school sys-
tenn of the county, which consist
ed of three school districts, has
been rearrangcd with eighteen dis
tricts and All increa Sc of 300 per
cent in the number of schools.
For the past four years the sup
erintendent has been principal Of
the Sentinel Butte school. +.
Only four years ago the
schoolhouse at Sentinel Butte was
Il small one-room building; at pres
ent the new Sentinel Butte school
is the finest building in Billings
county. The number of schools
now prohibits d person from
teaching and holding the office Of
county superintendent. This in
snres that even more careful at
tention will he given the work
than formerly. In past success

Kitchen equals any in the profess.
sion in Western North Dakota:
His school training includes grad
uation from the common schools
of Chicago, graduation from the
Northern Indiana Normal School
and from the Valparaiso Univers-
ity with the degrees Of b. Sc, > A.

iversity of Washington City.

Have you done as much? If SO,
when and where?
Results speak louder than promises.
Read the following quotations from the
annual report from the state Fedora
tion of Labor, unanimously adopted last
July:
1.-The above, we believe, is a rec
ord in legislation which has never
been equaled by sny other state in
the Union, and the following men must
be given credit for this splendid rec
ord: First on the list of friends of
labor comes Governor Haskell, always
ready and willing to lend his assist
ance by day or night to our legislative
board when our labor laws were in
danger. His office remained wide open
to US at all times, and we are free
to confess that had 1t not been for
Governor Haskell a great number of
our laws enacted during the first ses-
sion of the legislature would got be
on the statutes of Oklahoma today
'Then, after reading the above and
your talk compared with our acts
done, tell your audience If there is any
excuse on earth for your efforts at
new political party, except who calls
himself w. r. Hearst

FOREST FIRES STILL
RAGE IN THE NORTH
Confined nom fnre one,

and half dollars If the Little River
mill proves a total loss.
The fire started several miles above
Trinidad. going In two directions for
eight miles, when two walls came to-
gether, completely surrounding several
logging camps of the Hammond COM
pany and Little River plant, for which
there is apparently no escape. AS far
as known all have escaped from the
inclosed area and to date but two
deaths have been reported.
The mans body found first, thought
is now identified as being that of
Frank Whetmere, while another
charred corpse has been found at Trim
idad which has not been identified.
Hundreds of head of cattle are known
to have perished and dozens of families
have not been heard from, although
they are thought to have reached
safety.
Clothing Burned of
The body of Whetmere was found
on the roadside about 800 yards south
of Tuffenholtz with all the clothing
burned away and only the metal work
Of a truss and blaclxened watch We're
found by the body. which was fearfully
charred and scorched. 1t Is thought

the road. was overcome by the heat
and smoke and, fainting. was burned
to death.
H. w. Hamilton. a millionaire lum-
herman of this city, coming down the
tomobile, was forced to abandon the
machine at Trinidad and came through
on foot, after narrowing adventures.
He reports that at Stone lagoon. fif-
teen miles north of Trinidad, another
forest fire is raging which is coming
south in the direction of the flames in
this county. According to his report,
the entire northern part Of Humboldt
and Del Norte counties are covered in
places with small but disastrous fires
in the timber and brush lands.
Bridges between Little river and
Trinidad to the number of five are
burned out, but the telephone and tele-
graph wires are still in operation.
There is a strip of timber running from
camps 16 and is of the Hammond COM
pany clear down the coast inland about
three miles that reaches back of this
city and further and the fire is burning
for q distance of thirty miles with
chances that 1t will progress further
unless the wind dies, which is at pres
ent raging harder than ever.
Fire Gains Headway
The Hammond company, owners of
the Oregon & Eureka railroad, have
had crews out all day combating the
flames. but with little success.
AT o'clock tonight the men re-
turned to headquarters at Samoa, re-,
porting the fire to be gaining in head
way every minute. Small forest fires
are raging all around this city. al
though no danger is imminent. A ces-
sation of the wind or a heavy rainfall
is all that will save this county from
awful loss from the fires now raging.
Large crews of men are fighting the
flames during the daytime, but the
work is too dangerous to permit much
being done during the night.

MRS. MACKAYFOR
WOMAN SUFFRAGE
SOCIETY LEADER ANNOUNCES
CONVERSION
MAKES CLOSE STUDY OF ECO.
NoMlc PROBLEMS
Advocates of Equal Voting Rights for
Both Sexes Welcome Strong
Recruit to Their a
Ranks

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.--Mrs. Clarence
II. Mackay, who has unfurled her
standard as leader in this country OF
the woman suffrage cause, has received
a hearty welcome by the advocates OF
this cause. After a novitiate during
which she has studied exhaustively the
economic problems of her sex, she pub
licly subscribes to the faith and pledges
her support to its doctrines.
She unfurled her standard in the
Roslyn public school, where was the
scene of her first victory for woman
rights. 1t was there she won an cleo
tioa ms q school trustee, defeating at
the polls her male opponent.
Suffragists in this country who
shared in the secret have eagerly
awaited opportunity to install Mrs.
Mackay in a place similar to that occu-
pied in England by the talented Count
ess Of Warwick. Workers in the cause
have said that a leader was wanted
who combined high social position and
acknowledged intellectual attachments
One who would compel serious atten-
ton to the movement and disarm ridi-
cule.
Mrs Mackay said:
1T have been convert to the prin-
ciples of woman suffrage for some time
past. I believe that the day is not far
distant when success will be attained
for the cause in this country. regard
it as inevitable that the American wo-
man suffragist will share in the honors
already won by her English sister, and
that the doctrines will be firmly i'm
planted in all of the English-speaking
lands.
"The school board of Roslyn is per-
fectly willing that the doctrines be
taught here. There is no opposition TO
my work ipnthis community, and 1 shall
continue iepto the best of my ability"
