HE WAS NOT TO BLAME.
Driver Thought He Was Lucky Not
to Be Killed by Autos.

In reporting the head on collision
between two automobiles on West
street the other night the impression
was given by the owner of one of the
cars that the accident was caused by
a horse and buggy being driven be-
tween the two cars as they approach
ed each other from different direc-
tions.
1t was further narrated at the time
that the driver of this buggy, after
hearing the crash of the meeting of
the machines, drove serene1y on his
way, paying no heed at all to the
extent of the disaster, which would
likely not have happened at all had
not this buggy interfered with the
line of vision of the drivers of the
approaching autos
Now comes the driver of that horse
and buggy and declares that he meant
no harm by living. He is a citizen
of the republic and in that capacity
only took advantage of that section of
the city ordinance which permits the
use of the streets for vehicles and
horses.
He was driving quietly and slowly
along in the gathering dusk, thinking
of hts home and little ones, when
death came quickly from before and
behind and passed so close to him
that he trembled and was afraid.
He was driving on the right hand
side of the street.
The big red chu chu devils came
quickly and their meeting was some
thing awful for quiet citizen to be-
hold.
at consider myself lucky" writes
the driver of the horse, that got
out whole myself, not to say anything
about my horse and vehicle
He says further, in reply to the
charge that he did not wait and care
for the injured, that he saw many

ENID BANKS WILL PAY.
On Second Thought They Will Not
Resist the Assessment.

Enid, Okla, Oct AFTER a thorough
consideration of the matter representa-

announced today that the draft of the
state bank board assessing three
fOurths of one per cent on average de-
posits for the replenishing of the bank
guaranty fund would be paid on pre-

In interviews yesterday the officials
of the local state banks indicated that
the banks would resist the effort of the

plenish the guaranty fund now being
used to re-establish the Columbia Bank

FOOTBALL DOPE As =
- seen: BY. CHICAGO

Chicago, Nov. 16.-Games played
on both eastern and western Il grid
irons Saturday served to clarity re-
markably the! situation ais far as the
championship of the two sections OF
the. country is concerned, but left the
old question Of the supremacy Of
the sections in doubt. ''.' y -, !
The struggle at Madison left. Min
nesota in undisputed possession Of
the western conference championship.
Chicago and Wisconsin have only the
second honors left to fight for on
next Saturday and the game which
might have resulted in triple tie
for the western conference title Is
thereby robbed of what interest &C.
crued to it as it affected the stand
ing of the leaders in the conference.
The game at Marshall field, however,
will probably draw as big a crowd as
it would if the conference champion
ship was still in dispute, the an
cient rivalry between the Badgers
and the Maroons serving as draw
ing card.
On comparative scores an other
'*dope," Chicago should be the favor
lite in its last game of the season.
1t made a better showing against
Minnesota than did Wisconsin and 1t
also did far better than the Badgers
against Northwestern and Indiana.
Although Minnesota has now
c1inched the western conference title,
it still has to fight to be able to claim
the championship of the west. The
Michigan game is still before them
and a defeat in this game will de-
prive Minnesota of first rank in the
west, although it will still retain the
conference title.
=Michigan's: showing against Penn
sylvania, which it finally defeated af-
ter four years Of endeavor, shows
that Minnesota has strong team to
reckon with in its next game. The
Wolverines seemed to have gained
considerable strength since, they met
Notre Dame and lost their chance for
the western championship.
Minnesota will be obliged to de-
feat the Wolverines by a score OF
more than two touchdowns and keep
Yost's men from scoring to give it a
clear title to the western champion
ship. II 1t does this 1t will show
greater strength than Notre Dame:
A defeat for s Minnesota or a tie
game will leave the Catholics cham
>pions of the west. A close game be-
tween Michigan and Minnesota with.
a. victory for the latter will leave the
championship in doubt. Minnesota
will naturally have the preference
because 1T 'is'S in the conference and
its, amateur standing Is more estab4
lished but still there will be ground
for argument unless it humbles Mich

The commission was entertained by
the Wisconsin Grain Inspection board
and were the guests Of the Superior

The members of the board saw how
the grain was weighed and inspected
and followed the handling Of the ship
ments from the time the car was
opened until the grain was safely
stored in the. hold Of the large lake
steamers.
They were entertained at dinner

PRIMARIES AND THE SENATOR
SHIP ~

The Pembina Pioneer Express
can't see any logical way in which
preference can be expressed for two
places for the United States senator
ship at the coming primaries.
Suppose, says the P. E., that two
men are candidates for the long
term. One received 81 per cent Of
the vote and the other 40 per cent.
That makes the man with 81 per
cent the nominee for the long term.
At the same time there are three
or four candidates for the short
term. They divided the vote SO that
none received more tnan thirty per
cent. Under the law, the two high
est would be candidates at the fall
election for the choice for the short
term.
But they would be candidates over
a man in the first class who had
received forty nine per cent Of the
party votes. The P. e. can't see any
thing fair about this. Nevertheless,
we cannot see where it is unfair.
These places are separate and dis.
tinct.l The man who chooses under
the primaries to become a candidate
for the long term cannot claim any
rights to the short term, even though
he received nearly half the votes
for the long term. He cannot place
himself in the position Of shooting
for Office with a scatter gun.
II he declares himself as candi-
date for the long term In the senate,
he is supposed to know what he
wants. The fact that he received
forty five per cent OF the votes does
not at all make him a logical nominee
for the short term, over candidates
who may divide the vote nearly
equally between them. - III
The supreme court in a recent is
sue&upon the bonding case. where the
voters were required to vote bonds
in a lump for two purposes, held
that the voters must have an oppor-
tunity to vote for single propositions:
without confusion or ambiguity.
We cannot see where the same de-
cision is not applicable in an cleo
ton case. The man who is a candi-
date for Office must elect what office
he wants. The voter votes for him
upon that basis. If he is defeat
ed for that office, he cannot fall back
and claim another office.
