ton, in Eddy county, a cyclone swept
the town leaving two dead and ten

experience of Langdon people. a year

bad storms are predicted 10y Foster and
Hicks at intervals during September,

One of the peculiar things about the
present political situation is the fact that
Governor Burke will receive very strong
support from that section of the state
where he insisted mos, ]strenuously on
the enforcement of the law. This shows
how our people rise above petty matters
and stand by that which they think for
the best interests and Advancement of
our state. 1t was this feeling of respect
for an honest official which elected
Burke two years ago, in the face of a
very large majority for the balance of
the republican ticket. and it is this
same honorable motive which will cause
the voters to show him the special dis
t@inction of an election for the third time
to the highest Office in the state

The month of August was another
record breaker for the season of 1910
when considered from the weather con.
dition point of view and the records
kept for that length of a period
show that the old timer will have to &c
back as far as 1871 to beat it. AS re-.
CARDS rain fall or rather lack of rain fall
it was practically nil until the 90 h
when a raln fall of 81 brought the total
for the month UP to l24 inches, The
normal rainfall for the month of August
is3.46 inches showing a lack of 2.22
The highest temperature was 80 on the
18th; the lowest 80 on the 31st.

Governor John Burke, as is fitting,
comes here to welcome Theodore Roose-
welt to the state. He permits no politl-
cal lines to be drawn and although he
and Mr.. Roosevelt are not of the same
party, he does not let that weigh IN the
balance, for he knows that there are
greater things than mere political beliefs.
When the basic principle of both men
is reached we will probably find them
closer together than the names demo-
crat or republican would Indicate.
Roosevelt made his fight in the nation
against corruption and misgovernment
and Burke has certainly made that fight
in this staet. That Burke had smaller
opposition to fight is not to his discredit.
To each man is apportioned the labor
that fits him. But the odds we're great
or against Burke. He went out almost
singlehanded aud alone into towns and
villages of the state and made the
people understand the conditions. He
belonged to not alone the minority party,
but to the hopelessly minority party,
And out of it he drew victory twice and
he has given to the people the things he
promised them. Therefore he can we'll
afford to welcome a man Of his W stripe
and kind within the borders Of the
.stxtes-Fsrgo News.

1t is about sixty years since Great
Britain set aside protection, and adopt
ed tariff for evenue. In the sixty years
under tariff for revenue, according to a
table published in Whitaker's Almanac,
wages have increased 81.7 per zen and
prices only B per cent. 1t is, therefore,
we'll seen that the abolition of protection
in England did not bring down the rate
of wages. Neither would it IN this
country. If we remove the obstruction,
allowing prices to sink to their natural
level, the question of wages may be
trusted to take care of themselves.

Congressman Mckinley, chairman of
the republican congressional campaign
committee, says:
'Tne republican party will make no
apology for its record. The new tariff
law has surprised all in producing the
two results expected of a good tariff
law; that is, increased revenue and
prosperity"
President Taft's attitude is given by
the Associated Press as follows:
The president will favor further
revision of the tariff. While he is still
convinced that the Payne-Aldrich law
is the best tariff the country has had up
to this time, he has at last reached the
conclusion hat there is decided room
for Improvement.
Both of these statements were pub.
lished on the same day In republican
newspapers everywhere. They are a
tri1e confusing. Will some esteemed
republican newspaper, as an authority
upon the workings of G. o. P. logic.
kindly explain to us why, if the republi.
can party has no apology to make for its
record under the "best tariff the country
has had," which has brought Increased

"will favor further revision of the tariff
