GOVERNOR HUGHES A MERE
MAN, AFTER ALL.

When Governor Hughes appeared
on the national political horizon six
years ago he was hailed as man of
big intellect. He took up the difficult
work of prosecutor Of the offending
insurance companies of New York, and
routed the Wall Street magnates who
had been using insurance funds to play
with. Then he grappled with the
powerful, professional politicians, and
beat them at the game they'd been
playing all their lives. He was pos
sessed Of sufficient sagacity to be
elected chief executive of the Empire
State, and his performances in that
office attracted so much attention that
1t was decided he was too big for even
that large job. Consequer ~ he was
called to sit in the United States Su-
preme Court.
Surely, here was a man whose
achievements stamped him as one Of
our ablest citizens. No task would
seem to be too difficult for him to
tackle, but when it came to buying a
Washington house he demonstrated
that, after all, he is Just a mere man,
Ike the rest OF his sex.
Governor Hughes. It NAV be recall
ed, sent word to his friend, Herbert
Parsons, TO look up a home for him
IN Washington Mr.. Parsons attempt
&c execute the orde- was duly chron-
ieled- Some way, there must have
been a hitch, for a little later the
governor himself arrived in the city
10 inspect available residences. He
was accompanied by his secretary, and
we were told he had come TO find a
house. Another hitch seems to have
developed, however, as the governor
returned TO Albany without making
a purchase. The real estate agents
fretted at his inoecision. looking dag
gers at each other meanwhile.
Now Governor Hughes has come
back, and this 5me he Is accompanied
by the explana ion Of the failure OF
the previous house-huntIng expedi-
tiOns. Mrs. Hughes Is with him. In
fact, with al due respect to the gov
eTnOT's many abilities, It would not
be smiss to have 1t recorded that Mrs.
Hughes has come to Washington to
select a home, and IS accompanied by
Mr. Hughes
Even so distinguished q citizen ss
Governor Hughes must take rank w.th
the other mere males, when It comes
to choosing a place for himself and his
. family TO live There's no argument
as to which Is the inferior sex when
sucn a question Is to be answered.

WORTHLESS CHECKS ARE
PASSED IN LAKE COUNTY

Madison. 8. D., Aug. 1.-THE au-
thorities Of Madison and Lake county
are striving to trace and bring about
the arrest Of two individuals who re-
Gently have been guilty Of passing
forged or worthless checks on residents
Of the county. One Of the individuals
gave his name as Carter and cashed
at the saloon Of Fred Kurth q check
on an Oldham bank, which proved to
be worthless. Carter claimed to be
working on a farm near Oldham. When
1t vas discovered that the check was
worthless a warrant was sworn out
Ind given to Sheriff Martin, who made
a trip to Oldham, where he a~scertained
that such a nan as Carter was known,
but that Carter had departed for parts
unknown. The second worthless check
artist gave his name as George Will
hanson, and had been working on a
farm nea 'Junius. He succeeded in
passing upon unsuspecting persons sew
eral worthless checks drawn on the
State bank at Junius and signed by
Williamson himself, he representing
that he had a deposit in the bank.
In this case a warrant also was sworn
out, but when officers arrived at the
farm where Williamson had been en-
ployed they discovered that he, too, had
fled. The authorities now are using all
at their disposal to trace Car
ter and Williamson, so their arrest may
be brought about.

TO PRESERVE PART OF
STATE FOR DEER

Pierre, S. d., Aug. Estate Game
Warden Bancroft has received from the
national warden In charge of Mon
tana, a request that he join in efforts
to make the Slim Butte, Cave Hills,
and Short Pine forest reserves of the
Sioux reserve a national game pre-
serve for deer. All these reservations
are In Harding county, n while not
directly connected, they are near to-
gether, and could be used as one ma
tional preserve. The warden reports
a few deer yet left in these forest re-
serves, but likely to be exterminated at
an early date, even IL no poaching is
done, and the deer are only killed under
the state regulations. II these reserves
are made into a national game preserve
under the control of the forest rangers,
who are going yer the country IN
tinually, they would receive protection
which the state warden cannot give
them, and the deer in that part of the
state would be given an opportunity to
increase in number. While Mr.. Ban
croft has not yet decided what action
he will take in the matter he is in
clined to follow the suggestion, and
do what he can along the lines pro-
posed.
