More Railroads Projected.

Railroad building is becoming
more of a reality every day in
north western North Dakota. A
report that is said to be from
authentic source is that Foley
Bros, the large railroad con.
tractors of St. Paul have had their
crew of surveyors out over the
proposed new line of the 500 in
central Williams county. With
a large construction company send
ing out surveyors, it is quite Ger.
tain that there will be something
doing in railroad building this
year. Foley brothers, says the
Minot Reporter expect to be
among the bidders on the con.
struction work: As yet it is not
certain whether the new line will
start from Kenmare or Carpio
but it is sure thing that Will.
liams county will have several
new railroad lines traversing it by
next fall.

power was soon to pass. Every
means known to the service of
reproach was employed to discredit
him who had dared to demand
that what the people wanted done
should be done.
House and Senate did not 90
unanswered. They mad blow for
blow, and Theodore Roosevelt
goes out fighting with the same
spirit with which he always has
fought when principle was at
stake. Back of him in his 6pht-
ing has been the country. It has
stood with him from the first
and as for the rest nothing.
The support Of the country has
been given to the President in his
Legislative endeavors because the
people believed that the cause for
which he was working was their
cause, and a just one. Gratitude
and admiration have been Mr..
Roosevelt's for his refusals to com
premise when principle was at
stake. With him a cause one
right was externally right, and
worthy of all effort of accomplish
ment. The President in his
official capacity as one who stood
for the rights of his fellows was
one man. In his personality he
was another man to people of the
country. They have loved him
for the ''sternous life.'' They
have loved him because he likes to
box and to ride and to wade
streams and to climb mountains
and, it may be, because he loves to
fight. He has been a very human
President, and those things in his
life which have provoked the
caustic comment of the men who
liked neither him nor his methods
have been the very things which
have endeased him to the people.
The Presidents enemies de-
clared that he was seeking to
perpetuate his own power by
naming his successor in office.
he did not name his successor,
but he did take pains to let the
people knew that in the early
days when he was thinking along
certain lines of Legislative politics,
he found that another man was
thinking along the same lines.
He gave that other man equal
credit for origional progressive
thought. William Howard Taft
was not named for the Presidency
by Theodore Roosevelt believed,
knew also that he believed as they
believed.
No mans place in the history
of his country can be defined and
fixed until he is dead. The place
of Theodore Roosevelt is yet to be
allotted. The plain people of the
generation that has known him as
man and as president know that if
justice is done his place will be
high among those who gave Of
their best to the service of their
country.

AU REV0IR
NOT GOOD BYE
The Closing Scenes of the
State Legislature
Portrayed

House Bill No. II, Representa-
tive Kinney's seed grain bill, has
passed the two houses and has
been signed by Governor Burke,
and is now a law. We understand
that there are some settlers around
Garrison and southern Ward
county that will want to tale
advantage Of this law and apply to
their respective county boards for
assistance in obtaining seed grain.
There is a strip of country up
there that has been hailed out two
years in succession now which
places many of the new settlers in
a position where it is desirable to
get the aid Of the county in pro-
curing seed grain. We are told
that this law is SO drawn that the
country will be reimbursed for all
expenditures made hereunder.
1t is good idea to help those
that are needy and deserving.
Governor Burke Saturday sigu-
ed seven new measures five from
the senate and two from the house:
s. B. l44-The Lamoure anti.
cigarette bill.
s. B. 70 Prohibiting the solici-
ting of orders for liquor.
S. B. 74-Penalty for the arrest
and convictions of violators of the
prohibition law.
n. B. 63-Amending chapter
155 relating to the hotel inspector
ship.
II. B. 46-Empowering state
educational institutions to lease
sites on the campus to college
fraternities.
There will be no primary legislat-
ion at the eleventh legislative
assembly. That was effectually
demonstrated Monday morning
when the house killed four primary
measures by the indefinite post
ponment route. They were the
bills introduced by 'Skulason,
Thompson, Law and Davidson.
After killing off all four bills i'm
the committee Monday, the house
moved to reconsider and after
some hard work succeeded in
getting the matter before the
house. Speaker Burdick was
authorized to name a committee to-
consider the Law, Skulason, David
sou and Thompson bills. This
is johnson of Botti-
neau, Skulason. Gibbins, Sorlie
and Laithwaite.
The house also killed the Doyle
bill providing for the elimination
of the cross at the head of the
official ballot.
The house accomplished another
record breaking days work by
holding three strenuous and indeed
important sessions Wednesday,
at each of which many measures
were given consideration.
The afternoon session of the
house was one of the most interest
ing Of the session, there being
number Of appropriation bills
passed and the matter Of per-
manently locating the state fair at
Fargo was again made the subject
of much debate and preliminary
practice.
Senate Bill No. 81, which was
introduced by Senator Kennedy
and which passed the senate, pro-
vided for the location Of the fair
at Fargo after 1912. Mr.. Price
moved for the consideration of the
bill but Speaker Burdick opposed.
The matter. however, was sub
nitted to the house and a vote
taken on the question. The result
Of the vote showed that forty two
Of the members favored the re-
consideration. The speaker an
nounced that the motion had
carried. ].

Presidency in the height of his
favor with the people. In the
face of past repeated assertions by
those whose wishes ran PARALLEL
to their prophecies of coming
warning Of popularity, the Presi-
dent retires from office with the
admiration, the. gratitude and the
love Of the country fast in his
possession.
Under Roosevelt the conscience
of the country has been quickened.
This is the great work of accom-
plishment that overshadows all
the other works, great though they
have been. To those of the men
of large affairs to whom sharp
practice wss but the proper
manifestation of a business spirit,
it seemed that the country had
fallen on new and evil ways when
Theodore Roosevelt, speaking for
it, said it we're better in the pro-
cess of reform that even legitimate
business should suffer rather than
chat the conscience of the country
should become hardened. The
men whose methods could not
stand the light said that the
President was a preacher talking
only for the glory of himself.
They found that he was both a
preacher and doer.
To-day higher value is placed
on honesty in this country than
has been placed on it since before
the time when in foreign countries
American and millionare came to
mean the same thing.
In the past men who wrote of
manhood as above money were
called dreamers. It was an easy
way to dismiss and to discredit
them. Theodore Roosevelt re-
fused to be dismissed, and the
people would not let him be dis
credited. It was a hard gospel
that the President preached, but
the country heard it willingly and
believed it. The United States
in the last seven years has had a
revival experience Of the kind
which teaches the lasting lesson.
Theodore Roosevelt saw the
danger that was threatening the
country from discomfort with ex-
isting conditions. The elements
in the community that had most
to do with the breeding of dis
content denied the existance Of
the danger. But it was real dan
ger. It was met and defeated by
the President. but the men whoom
he saved from the results of their
own acts are, by the inconsistencies
of human nature, the only men
whoom today Theodore Roosevelt
knows he can count as enemies.
When, as President, Mr.. Roose-
yelt began his legislative crusad-
ing for the people. Congress
refused to take him seriously.
The senators and representatives
we're not used to hearing such
things as he told them. Some Of
them sneered and some. of them
and all Of them temporiz-
ed. They went home to their
constituents and found amongI
them neither neering nor laughter.
The senators and representatives
went back to Congress and starte d
unwillingly to work. They passed,
With no heart in the cause, the
legislation that the President
demanded tor the people With the
peoples full approval.
The spirit q the sneer Is still
with many Of the members of |
Congress. In the last days Of tho
administration House and Senate

WHY LEFT-HANDED BATTERs
p CANNOT HIT SOUTHPAWS
Curves Of Right-Handers, Which They
Are Used to Reversed, Given !
as the Cause.

| If left-handed batters cannot hit
left-handed pitchers as we'll as right
handed hitters can, several fans
have written to know why left-hand.
ed hitter cannot hit a right-handed
pitcher better than a right-handed hit
| ter can?
1t Is true that left-handed hitters
usually have great trouble in hitting
left-handed pitchers, but 1t is also true
| that right-handed hitters have lot
OF trouble themselves at times. That
| does not answer the question, how
ever, for their troubles are not so
great.
AS rule, all batters prefer to hit
ball curving in toward them rather
than one curving away from them. A
ball that curves in so as to come d.
rectly over the plate is pie" for the
heavy hitters. Such ball is easier
to hit than fast one outside, and the
players frequently refer to it as lone
in the groove"
There are in reality only two balls
thrown-the curve ball and the fast
ball. The others are merely varia-
lions. The curve ball Of a right-hand
pitcher, commonly known as an "out-
curve" always curves to the left from
the man who throws it. That is, 1t
curves away from a right-handed bat
ter. Naturally, it curves in to left
hand batter. The left-handed hitters
get in the habit of hitting this curve in
all its variations thrown by a right
handed pitcher, and when a southpaw
comes along they are lost.
The curve of the left-hander Is ex-
actly the reverse of that thrown by the
right-hand batter and away from the
left-hander. Having been trained. to
hit the ball curving into them, the
left-handers find themselves reaching
out for the curve of the left-handed.
pitcher and missing it. Another thing
that gets them is for the left-handed
pitcher to start a curve ball straight
for their bodies and bend it over the
plate. If Highlander should throw
curve like that to a left-hander it
would be a wild pitch, as it would 60
behind the left-handed batter. Then
when they dodge the southpaw's curve
it breaks over the plate and they are
left standing there looking foolish,
