Differences Not Irreconcilable.

Differences Not IrrecOncilable.
jamestown Alert: There are many
honest differences of opinion be-
tween the Republicans of the state
but few so irreconcilable- the
defeated faction cannot heartily sup
port the winners in the coming pri-
mary election, says an exchange.
There Is an increasing sentiment
among the more thoughtful leaders
of each faction to conduct the cam
paign SO the factional differences will
be settled June "a. The situation
should be such that every republic
can could vote for the nominees Of
the party. There should be no dis
position on the part of any one to
support the Democrats. That plan
worked disastrously two years ago.
1t should not be repeated this year
and will not-should the Stalwarts
be defeated.

The States Misfortune,

Fargo Call: IL mas Deen real
misfortune for the state of North
Dakota to have had for six years
past in the person of w. L. Stockwell,
a man who has shaped the states
educational system largely for the
upbuilding of the high schools in the
larger towns.
And further than that, that he has
the belief that high schools be made
preparatory schools for college in the
face of the probability that 80 per
cent Of the high school pupils do not
seek college education.
AS much as he can, he has diverted
the states tuition fund provided by
the proceeds from the sales of school
lands and such other resources as he
could influence, for the upbuilding of
the high schools to the disadvantage
of the rural schools, especially, for
lower grade schools generally.
The opportunity is offered again
this year to make change in the
Office Of public instructor which will
bring about reform. When money is
needed so greatly for educational
purposes in the new towns that are
springing up in the sections of the
state that are only being just set
tied, the Injuries, as they might be
called, the indulgences in educational
fads, should be foregone.
The next public instructor should
be q man who has taught in rural
schools and who understands that a
! farmers children must come from
distances of perhaps several miles in
stead Of as many city blocks in order
| to be taught. He should be man
! familiar with every grade in the
graded systems, not theorist, but
one who has had actual experience.
knowledge of the different branches
of high school instruction and up
to-dateness in methods are of i'm
| portance, but not fundamentally so in
a new state like North Dakota.
Fred e. Smith, the superintendent
of the city schools Of Wahpeton, N
] D., who for years held a similar pc.
/ sition in Fargo, appears to be man
possessing these all-around qualifi.
cations. AS has been said change
is necessary in the Office of the pub.
1 lie instructor, anyway, and Mr.
Smiths residence of over seven years
in the state as well as his experience
in eastern schools appear to well
fit him for the important work OF
reform that needs to be done with
out delay. His candidacy should be
encouraged by people regardless Of
political affiliations. The school ques
lions should not be in politics any.
how. The spectacle of the so-calle6
public instructor on a stump speak
ing tour about the state and direct
ing school teachers, men and women
to circulate petitions in behalf o.
himself and associates and do Other
kinds Of campaign work is not ar
edifying one.

Detroit, September 27.-With a recount
of the votes cast in several hundred pre-

had no opposition for the lieutenant gov

An almost unprecedentedly bitter con-
test was waged In the primary between
DIR. Bradley and Governor Warner, who
was seeking a third nomination. The
bitterness was increased when DIR. Brad

showed the number of cases and deaths
in a single day to be far in excess of that
announced by the authorities.
The efforts of Premier Stolypin and
some of the higher government officials,
however, which recently have been di-
rected toward arousing the municipal au-
thorities to action, have resulted in an
appreciable betterment of the sanitary
conditions and consequent decrease in

BIG PRIZES FOR
BLOODED HORSES

Louisville KY, September 27.-What
promises to be battle royal between
the foremost American owners of high
class horse flesh will be fought out in
the arena of the Kentucky Horse Show
association at the armory, beginning
tomorrow night and lasting throughout
the week. Most of the leading COM
petitors at the New York show have
entered horses in nearly every event
with the result that the heavy harness
and light harness classes are filled up
with prize winners. Kentucky Ten
nessee, Ilionis and Indiana will, as
usual, make the largest showing in the
road stock standardized trotter and
PAGER and gated saddle horse rings
The total value of the prizes hung up
this year is in excess of $4,000, and
experts figure that the struggle for
the honor of carrying away the great
est number of blue ribbons and the
largest amount of money won will come
between the stables of Alfred Gwynne
Vanderbilt and William G. Moore of
New York. A number of other promi-
nent New York exhibitors have already
arrived with their stables.

POLITICS IS CREATING
MUCH TROUBLE IN CUBA

Havana, September 27-Poltical disturb
ances have begun to assume some grav-

Sancti Spiritus, in Santa Clara province,
was the occasion of a riot today at which
many were injured, and in Havana to-
night a meeting Of the new negro party,
headed by General Estenoz, was broken
up by liberals who kept up a continu-

application for a recount in pumber
of precincts where DIR. Bradley poled

this contest may be injected into the

the greatest likelihood of an exciting
struggle in that body. But leaders are
said to strongly disapprove anything of
the sort.
1t is also expected that a lively con-
test will develop over the nomination for
attorney general. John L. Bird, the
present incumbent of the office, will be

Noted Feudist Killed.

Louisville, KY, September 27.-The body
of a man who was run over by train
and instantly killed in the Kentucky and
Indiana railroad yards last Monday night
was identified early today as that OF
Thomas Cockrill, the noted Breathitt
county feudist. Cockrilrs presence in the
yards has not been explained, but it is
presumed he was either on his way or
returning from visit to his old home.
He was a brother of Jim Cockrill, who
was at one time marshal of Jackson, and
who was assassinated Tom Cockrill was
involved in several feud battles and had
killed at least one prominent member of
the Hargis faction.

GREAT CONGRESS
ON TUBERCULOSIS

Washington, September 27.-The Of
fetal opening of the sixth triennial ses-
sion of the international congress on
tuberculosis will occur at IL o'clock
tomorrow morning in the new national
museum, and there will be assembled
at that time one of the most distin-

ever brought togeth er in America.
Ministers of foreign countries, scient-
lists of world wide fame, public officials
high in the councils of this and other
nations and personal representatives OF
the sovereigns of every country, will
unite to wage warfare against humani-
ty's most deadly foe-the white

States, the host of the assembiage
Then will follow words of greeting
from the foreign delegates who will
speak in the alphabet order of coun-
tries they represent.
Secretary Cortelyou will close the
opening meeting. and the congress will
not reassemble in general session again
until Saturday morning, the interven-
ing time to be consumed with the ses-
sions of the seven sections or groups
into which the congress will be divided
for a minute study OF the various
problems to be dealt with. Five of
these sections will begin active work
tomorrow. The addresses during the
congress will be noted for brevity, this
rule having been fixed because of the
large number of delegates sch eduled to
speak No resolutions Of purely
scientific character are to be acted on
by any of the sections.
One of the first matters at the open
ing session will be the appointment of
a committee on resolutions to expedite
this feature of the work. The dele

of the local medical schools have been

Samuel Gompers, president of the Amer

rulings in injunction cases and his recent

pared. with S12 new cases and 15S deaths
for the previous "a hours and 357 cases
and 1853 deaths between Thursday, noon,
and Friday noon. The people have taken
heart because of this improvement. Not
withstanding the fact that since the be-
ginning of the epidemic the cases multi
piled at an alarming rate the health
officials have been encouraged because
of the comparatively low death rate. In
1892, when the cholera carried off thou
sands in Russia, the death rate reached
so per cent. The death rate in the pres
ent epidemic has been between 30 and 35
per cent.
Difficulty has been experienced in deal
ing with the workmen of st. Petersburg,
who, with their families, comprise three
flfths of the population. and who are
both unable and unwilling to comply with
the sanitary precautions. The Ignorance
of the lower orders and the superstition
of all classes greatly increase the diff
culties of the situation. During the early
stages of the epidemic few could be pre-
vailed upon to undergo preventive innoc-
ulation, which is provided free of charge.
but latterly the authorities have made
innoculation compulsory in some quarters
of the city.

The police approached General Menocal
and demanded that he give up his pistol,
which he presumed to carry. AS he had
license to carry pistol which he
showed, he refused to be searched, and
after the procession to the hall had
formed it was made the object of attacks
on all sides in the hope that the meet
ing would not be held. Within a brief
period the fight became general. and one
of the conservatives was mortally wound

of both sides suffered from wounds from
knives and clubs, and 1t was a long time
before order was restored.

ton on legislation to ascertain the true
situation as 1t affects the cause Of labor.
They have reported, have been indorsed

have legslated for the trusts whenever
asked, but labor can never get hearing

to point out who are friends and who
are enemies of labor.
This editorial is even more pointed and
is stronger than that in the August num-
ber, which created such a howl from the
republican campaign managers. Gompers

democrats have given them all they asked
for in the Denver platform and advances
reasons why Taft should be opposed and
