TAFT AND THE wORKINGMEN.

T is reported that President Taft in his next
message to Congress will again insist that
workmen injured in the employ of interstate rail
ways shall have compensation without litigation.
This plan, if the rumor of it proves to be correct,
shows that the President has not lost his interest
in measures designed to help workmen
Mr.. Taft has often urged changes in judicial
procedure which would tend TO do away with the
advantages money enjoys in securing delays and
legal complications in cases.
Ii is well TO remember that the last Congress
passed three laws which are of Importance to
workngmen. They are the new bureau of mines,
an act enabling an injured employee in an inter
state commerce concern to sue in the local courts
as well as at the place of the home Office, and an
Let giving the Interstate Commerce Commission
increased authority in requiring the adoption "
safety appliances

L. r. RUST FOR SHERIFF

The republican candidate for sheriff,
l.. L. Rust, is making a cracking good
campaign and is coming into more and
more favor every day. He seems to be
SURPRISING the expectations of his most
sanguine friends. A young man in the
prime of manhood, he has spent practi-
cally his whole life in Union county
He is successful farmer, large land
owner and taxpayer, practical, every
day, home-spun man whose courage and
vigor admirably fit him for The Office to
which he has been nominated. Several
years service as deputy has given him
fine experience along this line so that he
comes before the people almost as an
ideal candidate. You will make no
mistake il you vote the republican ticket
straight this year from top t. bottom,
but If you scratch at all the name OF L.
II. Rust for sheriff should be about the
last enc to be sacrificed.

We Are King

The play I'VE Are King" given by
our home talent on Friday evening, Oct
7th, was far ahead of any thing played
before an Elk Point audience for long
time. The opera house was crowded
aud people who were critics of the
SevereSt type, said, after the play, 'it
cant be played as well by any company
travelling"
The parts of King Hector and Gustavus
Nenner the vagabond, who was the real
king, were both taken by Mr. Downing
with the greatest of ease. He is a
gentleman of fine appearance, courtly
manners and dec ded talent as an actor.
Mrs. G,ace Ford as Princess Olivia of
Beronia, acquitted herself in first class
manner. You would have thought from
her playing that she was an actress of
noe. Her lovely style and manner was
followed by the audience with intense
interest
Miss Anna May Ryan, the baroness,
was beautiful in her character, portray
ing vividly that depth of acting which
is often so lacking among characters on
the stage
Mrs. George Sage as Julia, the friend
of Princess Olivia, acted her part well,
carrying out cautiously and faithfully
her work between the Princess and the
King
John Manning as the Barron and
Thomas Dyer as Count Saxendorf, could
not be excelled. Their make up and
acting were so natural, that it was hard
to make ourselves believe that they were
young men from our own town.
Mike Hoffman as Captain Drummer,
was at home on the stage both in gtvlp
and manner, making one of those portly
characters always admired in play.
Arthur Strobel as the Raven and
Raphael Eslick as Klass, were fine, as
these characters are generally hard to
fill
The people were so carried away
by their own citizens talent that they
were asked to repeat the play on Sstur.
day evening, Oct Sth. The play was
given for the benefit of the Elk Point

Elk Point played their second foot
ball game Of the season at The City
Park Friday afternoon with the Ha.
warden reserves. The game was a gol d
deal of farce, Elk Point outwe.ghing
and Outclassing the Hawarden second
team. At no time was Elk Points
goal in danger and a much larger score
might have been piled up. The play
was largely in Hawardens territory,
Eslick. Comfy and Capt. Conway carry
ing the ball 40 and so yards for touch =
downs. Kelly broke through the line
several times and made good gains with
little interference. The game was not
finished by or 6 minutes TO allow
