the city to do it.
1t was expected that the mayor and
city government would not aid in ar
resting those breaking the law but it
was hardly thought, even by the most
aggressive denouncers of present con-
ditions, that the city attorney of Dew
lis Lake, a sworn officer of the law,
would go into vigorous fight to pre-
vent the conviction of parties, whose
law breaking is common knowledge
on the streets.

A BIG KILLING.

Next week the lnter-Ocean

benefit to the purchaser and
the merchant. We advise all
our readers to watch these
columns and especially the adj
vertfsefnents, for next Satur-
day promises to be a big day
In Devils Lake. We do not
want any advertiser to adver-
tise In this paper unless It
brings results and likewise
we want our readers to get the
benefit Of the advertising. 1t is
a proposition that works two
ways and when we are thru
we want all to be satisfied. If
you find a bargain In the Inter-
Ocean tell your merchant
where you found It, for to tell
the truth, It is one Of the best
ways for US to prove that ad-
vertIslng pays and no one
wants to advertise unless sure
Of results. Our advertising
agent will be there "Johnny on

don't fall to phone No. 81, for
II you miss next weeks oppor-

Neil the Detective" such was the
halucination of Neil McPhee who was
taken into custody last Saturday by
the police, following his inquisi-

Of somebody. It is certain that Neil,

Judging from the line of talk which
he handed out at. his hearing before
the Insanity board Monday morning,
he was pretty close to his man, al
though he did not appear violent,
which might have been the case when
the certain individual he was after
was caught. -
That Neil thought he had been en-
ployed on several cases as detective
was very evident for everybody in

OEbS AS An
ORATOR
FIRST


MAN WHO WILL SPEAK HERE oc-
ToBER 10 is FOREMOST Ex-
PoNENT OF SOCIALISM =.
Eugene v. Debs is some orator, &C.
cording to the following from the
Greenburg, Pa, Argus about the man
who will speak in Devils Lake October
10.
Eugene v. Debs, the most learned
and foremost exponent Of the Social
ist philosophy in America, has come
and gone, and while in our midst he
dfsabused the public mind Of much Of
the political prejudice which has pre-
vailed. While in the presence Of this
wonderful man one gives but little
thought to that for which he stands,
but is 3swayed by the. brilliant attain
ments Of this leader Of men. Tor for
"Gene" Debs delivers in such rapt
and gracious words that aged ears
play truant at his tales, and, younger
hearings are quite ravished SO sweet
and volumble in his DISCOURSE :
AS a logician he is accurate and con-
else; as an orator, brilliant and enter
tanning; and, with the sincerity Of one
who believes with his whole heart, the
rightfulness Of his position, the hear
|ers Of this man must accord him high
place as one among those who strive
from their personal view to advance
the common cause of humanity by the
destruction Of those powers which fet-
ter the hands and minds of men.
Whether one believes in Socialism
or not, he cannot avoid the thought
that if Socialism os of equal fineness
with that Of its exponent, 1t is entitled
to consideration with the principles OF
other political parties whose promises
have not been fulfilled, and, as a re,
suit of which, thousands starve and
millions more kneel at the shrine OF
capitalism to receive the lash as the
badge Of their faithfulness to the faith.
| less. p
His arraignment Of capitalism was
without flaw, and likewise without
rant or rot. His tribute to labor has
seldom, If ever, been equaled In point
Fof brilliancy Of thought and beauty Of
diction. His logic as to cause Of pan,
les and their incidents was unanswer'
able; and, to sum up his entire argu'
fment, it could only have been inspired
in the mind Of man who loved the
common people, and, unmindful Of
what others believed, declared himself
as to what would lift the embargo on
human right, and leave the answer to
him who, in his own good time, would
rule every nation and every people.
7 Eugene v. Debs is an evolutionist;
rather than a revolutionist; and when
lone follows him through the success
Isive phases Of political government
from chattel servitude, when the body
OF the worker was owned to the time
fof wage slavery, when the tools Of the
toiler are owned by the capitalist, un.
der which condition there Is no neces.

alize that each have had their begin.

tainments Of mankind, It Is wen with.

Ann Arbor Coach AsCribes Motive
for Barring His Team
from Conference

NASHVILLE. Tenn. Dec. 22.-on his return
hero after several days absence on a business
trip. Coach Fielding H. Yost Of Michigan was
asked for an expression on the recent action
Of the western college football authorities
which will prevent teams in that association
from hereafter playing any team that has
formerly been n member. He expressed him
self promptly and freely to the effect that the
action taken was for the direct purpose of
preventing the annual Michigan Minnesota
game and was prompted by an animus
against Ann Arbor unworthy Of college men.
He further declares that the dictum will not
hurt Michigan, she can get plenty Of good
competition elsewhere, but that 1t Will prove
sad blow to Minnesota, as its Michigan game
has been the only big game she has been able
to get With Michigan removed from her

NEW FORM OF STRIKING
INAUGURATED IN FRANCE
Employees Adopt System of Doing
Mischief Under Cloak
of Accident

PARIS, Dec. GA new form of
striking is now being inaugurated IN
France under the style of the greVe
porlee, which is a strike of extremely
delicate and perfect peal-like char-
acter.
The "pearly strike" is no turning
out in mass, no noisy threat of sus-
pending all services, and no violent
sabotage. It is a sly and subtle mix
ing up Of duty and disobedience or or
mischief done under cloak of natural
accident. For instance, there may be
three trucks full of goods starting
from one station in three different
directions Nothing is easier than to
make a mistake in affiXing the labels
of destination and sending one that was
meant for Calais to Nancy, the Nancy
one to Bordeaux and the Bordeaux one
to Calais; or the dispatch sheet may
be lost, and without it no conductor
can take charge Of any wagons.
Supposing that this system is ap-
piled to a few thousand trucks and
wagons which have been sent in
wrong directions all over France, the
confusion and difficulty of remedying
the errors may be imagined. Then
there is the italian method by which
the employe displays excess of zeal, ac-
cording to the strict letter Of the regu-
latiOns. The engine driver is bound to
see that every nut and bolt in his en-
gine Is tight, and at every station he
proceeds to inspect, losing hours of
time. A conductor also may spend
another hour or two in going through
every compartment to see that nobody
has offended against the rule of not
splitting on the floor, or make long
inquiry to find out if nobobdy has lit
cigarette in a non-smOker's carriage.
In fact, there is no end to the variety
and diversity that may be introduced
into the new sport of greve perlee, and
the only remedy that appears to be
possible is immediate dismissal for Eek
cess of zeal" A new form of strike
and insubordination can only call forth
new means Of finding out how to re-
press It,

CADILLAC BREAKS
PACIFIC RECORDS
'30' Clips 2 Hours from One Rec
ord, Los Angeles to
San Francisco
CUTS ROUND TRIP 6 1-2 HOURS
Every Existing Motor Car Mark
Between the Two Cities
Is Broken
CUTS ROUND TRIP 6 1-2 HOURS

The Most wonderful performance
credited to a fully equipped. strictly
stock motor car Is now credited to d
Cadillac 49," which in the past two
days made history on the Pacific coast
beating any and all records both one
way and return, between Los Angeles
and San Francisco, as well as all rec
ords between intermediate points.
When the news was flashed over the
wires Wednesday night from San Fran
cisco that the Cadillac that left here
in the morning had entered the bay
city away ahead of her schedule, and
breaking all previous records by two
hours Don Lees triumph seemed to be
complete. The actual running time was
fourteen hours, 49 minutes.
But there was greater card to play
the return trip to Los Angeles to
break the record 10 long held by the
White steamer. Secrecy was necessary
because of the watchfulness of speed
cops in all towns through which they
had to pass, as the up trip had put the
sleeping guardians of the law on their
mettle, for the stunt was pulled off
unheralded.
With a delay of but fifteen minutes
in San Francisco, the car was headed
south and the race against time was
again on. All through the night the
gallant little car and death -defying
an hour, and at 2 p. m. Thursday the
car was again in Los Angeles at First
and Broadway, having made the round
trip in 81 hours, 80 minutes, beating the
previous record by hours, 80 minutes
On the up trip an average speed of
thirty-two and one-half miles an
hour was kept up to Santa Maria, and
nearly as good on into Frisco. The
round trip of 952 miles was made at
nearly an average of thirty miles an
hour, probably the fastest continuous
road run for such a distance ever
pulled off in the world.
George Adair drove the Cadillac to
Santa Maria and return, with Harry
Wood of Santa Barbara as mechan-
ician, and with two passengers, Frank
Terry and w. ]. Wernicke as observ-
ers; for the conditions to secure the
Fernando Nelson cup, which is the
standing trophy for this run are that
the car making 1t must carry two pas
sengers. At Santa Maria, with two
other passengers aboard, the car was
Griven to San Francisco and return by
w. w. Bramlett, with T. ]. Beaudette
as mechanician.
All credit is due the crews of the
Cadillac for their daring, and nothing
hut the best praises of the car itself
is heard from any source. TO prove TO
the public that the car was in perfect
condition when 1t arrived in Los An
geles, Don Lee gave orders that with
out stopping the motor it should be-
gin a slx-day nonstop run in Los
Angeles and vicinity. SO a second odd
circumstance is that in one city three
different makes of cars should be en-
gagged in nonstop runs at the same
time-the Cadillac, Flanders and War
ren-Detroit.

BOWLING SCORES

A very pretty bowling contest was
witnessed last night at the Brunswick
alleys between Mrs Cowger of St
Louis, the leading woman bowler of
that city, and Mrs. II. c. Scott. the
crack bowler of Los Angeles. At the
end of the fourth game Mrs. Cowger
was IL pins in the lead. Mrs. Scott
finished strong in the last game. bowl
ing down 1879 pins against her oppo-
nent's 142, winning the match by 46
pins.
Next week Mr.. and Mrs Cowger will
bowl Mrs. Scott and Alfred Mackenzie
a series of match games for the cham
pionship of ST. Louis and Los Angeles.
Mr. and Mrs. COwger are the cham
pions of ST. Louis, and Mrs. Scott and
Mackenzie are the champions of South
ern California. The first match Will be
bowled some night next week on a
date to be agreed on later Mrs. Cow
ger has demonstrated the fact that she
is a strong bowler and hard to beat
Mr.. Cowger has competed in several
American Bowling congress tourna-
ments and on one occasion finished in
the money. In view of the fact that
there were more than 1000 entries this
was quite bowling achievement.
on the other hand, Mrs. Scott and
Mackenzie bowl well together and will
be hard to defeat. This match prob
ably will create more stir in the bowl
ing world than anything that has been
pulled off in a long time, and on the
night of the match standing room will
be at a premium at the Brunswick al

As a daring motorist Texas Guinan,
star Of 1.-THE kissing Girl' company
probably ranks first of musical com
edy queens that have visited this city
during the past year The fair motor
lists stunts in Denver, her home town,
and where she first jumped into fame
will long be remembered by Denver
ties, and particularly so by no less a
dignitary than the present governor,
John T.. Shafroth of Colorado.
On the occasion of the very kissable
"Kissing Girls" home coming recent
ly her illustrious uncle, Senator Bailey
of Texas, decided that the most ap-
propriate compliment he could pay her
for her achievements behind the loot
lights would be the gift of an auto
mobile knowing her penchant for mo-
toring The senator Immediately pro-
ceeded to carry out the idea, present
ing her on the stage with chic
Flanders 100" which she carries with
her on the road.
Texas, one day while out on a spin
with her manager, John p. Slocum, on
a wager drove her machine UP the cap
itol bui ling steps. That Texas car
easily succeeded in doing this is re-
membered best by Governor Shafroth.
For, Just as his IonOr was leaving MS
office, Texas Flanders poked its nose
over the threshold of the state house,
the startled governor boiling to place
of safety behind one of the massive
pillars in the entrance to the building.
Miss Guinan is deeply interested in
the FLANDERS "20'' that is now covering
the streets of Los Angeles on its
famous nonstop run to break the
worlds record, and has the mileage
phoned to her apartments every time
the car checks in at the garage.
When, on leaving the theater Wednes-
day night she was told that the mile
age at II O'Clock totaled 1853 miles,
she impaired it as a secret that the
Lord Mortor Car company were to
take her as a passenger on the little
car some morning late in the week.

A report is out to the effect that
Acting Chief of Police Sullivan will
use what influence he has to knife
Judge Webster for superior court
Judge. The reason therefor is that
Webster offered some criticism Of
the career of Sullivan as chief Of
police that reflected somewhat
strongly on the chief.
1t was reported early in the judi
