AN OUTSIDE VIEW

Abereeen Americana: Stanley and
Hughes counties certainly are to be
congratulated upon having commits.
sioners who are so firm believers in
good roads.
In both counties there is great ac.
tlvlty this summer upon all of the
highways OF the counties and much
work is being done.
In both the work is being done by
the settlers and is a welcome source
OF revenue at this time when there is
so little hope of fruitful effort on the
farm. Thus it gives work to the peo.
pie at a time when they need it most
and it also establishes permanent i'm.
provements which will result to the
benefit of all the people.
Aside from the better transporta
tlon facilities to and from market in
these two counties there is certain To
result higher prices in farm lands
from this cause alone if it be contin.
ued another year or two with equal
activity.

MEXICAN CONDITIONS

Ever since the introduction of rail-
roads in Mexico the operating force on
them has been largely composed of men
from the United States, and it looks as
If a serious attemp: we're now to be-
made to change this condition of things.
There has always been more or less open
protest on the part of Mexicans because
the policy of efficiency has dictated the
employment of Americans, and there is
danger that the near future may intro
duce politics and national prejudice into
business. A convention of railway men
from all parts of the republic has been
called to meet in the City of Mexico
next month to devise the most effec-
tive plan to abolish the foreign Language
es on the railroads. When it is re-
membered that on account of the en-
ployment of so many American locomo-
tive engineers and conductors on the
national lines and other roads, train or
ders are given in English this move-
ment has an ominous look. One of the
most threatening things in Mexico's
situation today is the disturbance Of
business conditions that is in evidence
in SO many directions.

NO REFLECTION on sTATE

Sioux Falls Press: While few Of
the less determined settlers or those
who came to the country without
sufficient means to tide them over a
year, are leaving the country. it is
noticeable that filings on the land in
the same localities they are leaving
is going on at the usual rate, and
this notwithstanding that the best
lands have all been taken up. Tho
fact is not remarkable, however.
The productiveness Of the country
from year to year is well known and
the dry, hot weather from which the
whole country has suffered, is no re-
reflection on South Dakota climate.

ONE ON BROTHER

The editor of the Hardman (Tenn. J
Free Press tells OF his rather event.
full experience in neighboring town
as follows:
We fell asleep in chair at Grand
junction last Wednesday night on
Our way from Memphis in our usual
soaked condition and let our train
leave us. The hotel clerk told us to
go up stairs and take the room on the
right side OF the hall where the light
was burning low. He said that they
were crowded and that | would have
to double up with another fellow.
We went up and pulled off our duds
without waking our bed fellow who
was sleeping ound with the sheet
over his head to keep off the muskee-
ters. Before we fell into the hands
OF Morpheus we saw a young lady and
gentleman come into the room and
sit down by the window. At first
they talked SO low we couldn't hear
what they were saying. Finally we
heard the little miss say: willie,
amt you ashamed to try and kiss me
right here where we are up with a
dead man?' We felt curious and
slowly reached over. and touched
the man we were in bed with on the
nose and saw at glance that he was
dead. We riz up instantly and it was
race 'twixt us three for the bottom
of the stairs. 1t is needless to say
who was the first to pass the post by
two lengths. We didn't skeer that
couple any worser than the corpse
skeered as. We walked through the
country to Boliver and wired for our
clothes by express.

states having popular vote on can
didates for President and Vice Presi-

tions in the states that have adopted
the Oregon presidential preference
law are: North Dakota, March 10;
Wisconsin, April 2; Nebraska, April
II; Oregon, April 10; New Jersey,
