The public roads are in fearful con-
dition but no worse than usual at this
season of the year. There is not road
over which any team can pull more
than half load and but few that will
permit that much The Fiscal court
ought to formulate some plan that
would aid in making better roads, and
by so DOING in four years, would con-
vince'the people that it should be kept
up. The little efforts heretofore have
not amounted to much and instead of
getting better roads have really caused
Indifference. Establish or adopt sys-
TEN that will build a few miles each
year and keep it up for four years and
sentiment will change and conditions
also.

Card Of Thanks,

We are made to realize more forcibly
than ever that language is means of
concealing rather than revealing our
thoughts, consequently our gratitude
to the people of Russell Sprin IS are in
expressible. When our dear baby Dow
ell, was in the balance between Time
and Eternity, our many friends were
ever present to render all assistance in
human power. Then when DowelP s
young spirit was finally summoned to
the great beyond, these noble hearted
people just overwhelmed us with kind
ness and symp athy, and made US feel
we were undoubtedly living among the
best people on earth. Now through
the'colums of the News, let US tender
our most sincere thanks and gratitude
for their many deeds of kindness.

Ell Paso, Texas, June 1o.-since
early today posses have been scour-
ing the desert between Carrizozo and
tn mountains in search for the lone
bandit who held up an Ell Paso and
Southwestern passenger train last
night at Robsart. n. NJ, near Carri-

believed from the manner in which
he carried out the daring hold-up.
The members Of the posses are pre-
pared to shoot on sight.
Last nights hold-up is one of the
most daring in the history of train
robberies. The bandit, after cover
ing the Pullman conductor and brake
man with his gun and compelling
them to stop the train, drove the oc-
cupants Of the tourist sleeper into a
private car at the rear of the train
where he forced them to turno yer

Senator McCur,1ber's Record Upon
Which He Asks to be Re-e/ected

Senator McCumber has represented
the state Of North Dakota in the SEN
ate of the United States for eleven
years. He had practiced law since
1881, and at the time of his election
was recognized as one Of the ablest
lawyers in the state
Of the state at the primary election
to be held the last Wednesday in
June, 1910, and, therefore, they are
entitled to know II he has discharged
the duties Of this high Office in such
a manner as to merit their confidence
and justify them in re-electing him.
The state of North Dakota needs
and deserves the services of her ablest
men in the United States senate, and
they should not be selected for this
great honor unless they are equipped
and endowed with such qualities Of
intellect, quickened and sharpened
by mental training, as fit them to
grasp great public questions and en-
able them understandingly to advo-
cate and support only those which
will promote the welfare of the coun-
try and the state.
What legislation has Senator Nc
Cumber secured beneficial to the ma
ton and to the state of North Dakota
whose endorsement he now seeks? :?
Has he shown ability and a record
for hard work warranting his return
to the senate?
The record which he has made In
the several sessions of congress, gath
cred from the annals Of the nation.
and grouped under the respective
heads Of what he has accomplished
in national legislation and what he
has done to particularly serve the
interests Of the state, must answer
these questions and partial list is
herewith submitted to the considerate
Judgment of the people whose re-en-
dorsement he solicits at the election
in June, 1910.
In the ,Fifty-sixth congress, the first
in which he served, Senator McCumber
introduced fourteen bills. six Of which
were favorably considered and enact
ed into the permanent law Of the land.
He offered seven amendments to APP
preparation bills. all in the interests
of institutions In the state Of North
Dakota. He made sixty reports on
different measures considered by the
committees of which he was men,

lance and industry in his committee

tire session devoted to debate upon
the subject of postal savings bank

against the savings bank bill on the
final roll call. Prior to this action
the house by 113 to 1856 rejected the
