ROOSEVELT IN THE WEST.

Ex-President Roosevelt is now
making a big trip through the west
much after the manner that has of
late years come into vogue for presi-
dents and presidential candidates.
He was given a most hilarious well
come at Cheyenne, Wyoming upon
the occasion of his visit there and
typical wild west scenes we're re-en.
acted for his benefit. with rough rid
ing and all sorts of sports which were
most common in the by gone years
when Teddy himself was cowboy
and ranchman and operated q brand
ing outfit. Of course the politicians
see in this trip the prepare tion of a
plan for the doughty colonel to again
become candidate for president in
1912. 1t is pant of a politician s
business to "see things that do not
exist. The expenses of the trip are
being borne by The Outlook maya
zine, of which Mr.. Roosevelt is a con-
tributing editor, and it has been
shrewdly figured out that big sales of
the magazine are more surely to be
counted on by the colonel keeping
we'll advertised upon the first page of
all the papers of the land and keeping
constantly in the center of the stage
before the public eye. He will be

of fact MI Taft sent a telegram to
Vice President Sherman several days
before the meeting Of the state com
mittee to decide upon the chairman
snip, in which he said
please say to Ward and Woodruff
that Griscom confirms my judgment
that the situation in New York may
b } saved without humiliation to any
one and with victory for the party by
full conference with Mr., Roosevelt
and reasonable concessions with
reference to platform and candidates.
The thing of all others that ought tc
be avoided is a controversy in the
convention.
AS a citizen of New York and in
terested in the success of his party in
the state, the desire of the president
to bring about harmony among the
warning factions was most natural
thing, and as he says: The sugges.
tlon that l ever expressed a wish tc
defeat Mr.. Roosevelt for the temporary
Craftsmanship of the convention, or
have ever taken the slightest steI
to do so is wholly untrue.
MIR. Roosevelt expresses much
qualification in knowing that there
was no grounds for the charge that
the president was opposed to him,
and he is now going into the fight
for the craftsmanship in earnest.

PRIMARY ELECTION NEXT WEEK.

The primary election for the nom.
nation of candidates will take place
next Tuesday, September 6, and before
the next issue of The Herald is print
ed the battle will have been fought
out. The field of candidates this year
is an exceptionally large one and
these closiag days Of the campaign
are seeing great activity among the
candidates. Interest centers most
largely about the contest for United
States senator, governor and the county
ticket. and yet but little enthusiasm
is manifest among the people over
the former two, There have been four
political speeches here during the
campaign and neither of them sue
ceeded In attracting more than very
meagre audience. The voters were
either too busy or too Indifferent to
pay much attention to them or to come
out and hear them. Political con-
ditions are such now that party lines
are not compact, and the factional
fight within both the Republican and
Democratic parties is such that the
breach seems to be constantly grow
ing wider and thoroughly disrupting
all party organization, This is more
particularly the case in the Republi
can party. in which ambitious politi-
clans in their lust for power and place
seek more to build up a personal than
party organization, deliberately en- :
couraging the casting of Democratic
votes for the nomination of candidates
upon the Republican ticket, and the
breaking down of party lines.
What the result of the primary will
be is yet any mans guess, as results
cannot we'll be predicted under the
present system, and in the big field of
candidates are many who say they
have the fight won. but who will find
when they wake up on Wednesday
morning Sept. that they are classed
among the ''also rams =
Heretofore the names have been ar
ranged upon the ballots in alphabet
cal order, those beginning with "a =
or others of the first letters getting d
location at the head of the list where
there were more than one candidate
for any Office. This was considered
to give the name at the top an ad
vantage over the others and this year
the law has been changed 80 that the
names will be rotated IN the ballot
For instance, in printing the ballots
the names are arranged in their al
phabetical order as usual, and so
printed for the first precinct. Then
the name appearing first on the list
for each office for which there is more
than one candidate is removed from
the top and placed at the foot Of the
list for such office, and in each sue
ceeding precinct the names are chang
ed the same way, so that each canal
date will have his name come first for
that Office in "a part of the precincts
Some voters not being acquainted
with the candidates, mark the first
name on their ticket, and it is claim
I'd this arrangement for rotation of
the names will give all an equal
chance

A. w. Lyslo, Knute Hegdal and
John johnson returned from the
cities on the late train Saturday
night. In going down it took them
some SO hours to get to Minneapolis.
Jens Hieldness has been selected
as manager for the Hubbard-Davls
Co.'S store in Belview. The firm
will find him to be a reliable young
man and a good salesman who IN
derstands his business.
Axel Hultquist and family from
Winfield, Iowa, arrived here on FRI
dav and have taken possession of the
]. M. Stewart farm which he pur-
chased last fall. He Brought stock
and machinery with him.
Tuesday a reception was rendered

pal of our schools, at the opera house
by the school board, teachers par
ents and pupils of the school. A
very pleasant time was had and a
large number were present. Miss
Bennett having resigned to accept a
position with the Associated Chart

be taken by Mr.. G. E. Bell of Gar
den City. Mimi, at one time prlncl-
pal of the school at Seaforth.
Last Sunday in the village of Sac

Elmer Rosberg were united in mar
riage. It was quiet home wedding
and particulars are not in hand but
both bride and groom are we'll
known and popular young people
who have a host of friends who wish
them all manner of joy in their new
relation. We hope to be able to give
full particulars next week. The
young couple arrived here on Tues
day and are at home at the ROSDerg
farm south of town.
1t has been stated time and again

that the business interests in town
have suffered loss of trade on ac-
count of losing the saloon. A care
full examination of facts as proven
by figures as taken from the books
of at least five of the leading bust
ness institutions shows that this
statement is unqualifedly false and
that on the contrary a larger volume
of business has been transacted dur
ing the past year in Belview than
for several years past and that the
per cent Of additional business by
reason of better crops has been fully
as great here as in any neighboring
towns where there are saloons. In
other words, while in some specific
instances people have threatened to
do their trading elsewhere they have
only partirlly carried out their
threat and for every dollar Of bust
ness thus lost we have gained from
other sources.

Japan has a police force modelled
after the French system. In various
places throughout Toxic there are
small "kabancho," which resemble
sentry boxes. but are larger.
Three men are attached to each box
daily. One remains inside resting,
while another stands at the door, and
the third patrols beat, returning.
at regular intervals to the box. After
twenty-four hours work the three of.
ficers are given the same time to rest,
and three other men are sent to the
box.
During their "off" days the men are
employed taking census returns, ma
king reports regarding the condition
of streets. bridges, embankments
drains and cemeteries. They also re.
port weddings, births, deaths, theat
rical performances and the presence
of suspicious persons.

MINERS MEET DEATH
TWELVE KILLED AS RESULT or
TWO EXPLOSIONS IN WASH
lNGToN coLLIERY.
Natural Gas Combustion Assigned as
the Cause, the Force Of Explosion
Being Terrific-AlI Of the Men
Killed Were Foreigners.

Seattle, Wash.-Two explosions, oc
curing within a few minutes OF eacn
other, shortly before o'clock Sunday
morning, resulted in the death oil
twelve men, in the Lawson mine at
Black Diamond thirty miles southeast
of Seattle. Seven men going down
on shift and five men coming up were
caught between the first and sixth lev
els, and it is almost certain that all
persisted Natural gas combustion is
assigned as the cause. All the men
were foreigners.
The force of the explosions was ter
rife, showers of earth, timbers and
bits of clothing, believed to be that OF
the miners, being brown from the
slope of the mine. Timbers measuring
sixteen inches thick and eight feet
long were blown half mile. A big
section of steampipe was blown sim
liar distance and sank fifteen feet in
the ground. The shock of the explo-
sion, which was felt for miles around,
was so great that many thought there
had been an earthquake.
Soon after the explosion the mine
began to cave in, indicating that all
the supports had been blown out and
the tunnels wrecked. 1t is doubtful if
the mine will be reopened. The dam
age is estimated at $250,000.
