BOY IS KILLED
WHILE HUNTING

Ashley, N. D.. Sept s5.-Martin
Preszier, the 15-year- old son Of Fred
Prezzler Of Eureka, in company with
two other boys. Herbert Hepperle and
Walter Isaak. also or Eureka, went out
hunting ducks on lake about eighteen
miles northeast OF Eureka.
Martin started into the lake closely
followed by Herbert when the latters'
gun was discharged IN some unac-
countable manner, rne PreszIer boy re-
ceiving the entire charge in the back OF
the head; the two boys were only a
few feet apart. Death was instanta-
eous. not a sound came from the un-
fortunate lad as he sank into the water.
The other boys finally removed the
body from the water taking 1t to the
nearest farmer from where telephone
message WAS sent to Eureka, notifying
the parents OF the horrible accident.

The oyster social at the Hardshell
church parsonage the other evening
for the benefit OF the heatnen in Mad
agascar was q great success, but II
seemed as though the heather here
at home got most OF the benefit of II.
Hod Lucas got the prize for discov-
ering the oyster, but Hank Renfrew
claimed IL was a fraud, as Hod took
an oyster with him In his pocket and
dropped II into his bowl OF soup when
nobody wasn't looking. The commit
tee examined 1t and couldn't decide
whether 1t was the regular church
oyster or a substitute. SO Hold was al
lowed to keep the prize, which was

Santa Claus onto Ii. After the sup

be so, however, in the light of his ac-
ton In turning traitor at the eleventh
hour does he expect the support OF re-

ton? Or does he expect to get votes
from the democrats? Certain 1t Is that
the friends of Mr.. Johnson and all re-
publicans believing in a square deal
will not support Aalxer and the same
can be said of that turncoat Andy Mil
Ter. who pulled of the same stunt just
before election. He also has aspira-
tons to sit in the chair OF governor of
this state and by lingo If either Of
these men receive the republican NOM
nation, The Courier will go democratic
to the extent of supporting the demo-
cratic candidate for governor. We
won't stand for such traitorous work at
all. IL Mr.. Johnson was good man
and a At man for the governorship in
July when he was endorsed by Aaker
and promised his support he was just
as good a man in November when
Aaker saw a new light and repudiated
him. Petty politics beat out Johnson.

AMERICAN WOMEN FORTUNATE.


Travellers say that In England men
are boss. In America the women are
the dominating sex. England Is a mans
country. He is the mastering force
not only in civic but in social life. The
home IL made for the man and admin
istered for him. He 10 the pampered
inmate. His money Is spent nrst for
himself. His wife's allowance IL a
naoiety OF his income. The tailor over
there-not the dressmaker Is the arbi-
ter Of fashion. Mans pleasures are
first considered. In England that slu-
sive thing called society Is determin-
ed by the man-rather than by the
women.
All this is a contrast in the United
States 1t is in America that the sover-
eighty Of the women IL undisputed.
Kings OF finance, men in the middle
classes--even the toilers-turn their
money over 70 the women. The sup
posedly weaker sex dictates the fash
ions and to a large degree the enter
tainments. Pleasures are shaped that
she may enjoy them.
IN no country in the world is woman
50 admired and esteemed as in Amer
lea. NO other women excel her in
grace and beauty. Nowhere else is
she treated with so fine a courtesy or
is so regarded as an equal--a compan-
ion and confdante. American social
life Is shaped by her. The impress Of
her hand ia seen--not only in the fam
lly--but in the community.

MR M M2ZE5

North Dakota Democrat: Some of
the democrats In the state are talking
Burke as a fourth term candidate for
governor. The North Dakota Democrat
does not believe the governor is can
didate for the fourth term. and It
further believes that should he be, he
would be defeated by a very consider
able majority. He has been successful
in three campaigns but 1t is apparent
that should he be candidate again,
he would not be able to combine the
elements of political strength that he
has had in previous campaigns.
The republicans are active and alert
and they will probably succeed in
nominating good vote getter. Burke
would not prove the vote getter in a
fourth campaign, that he has been In
the three previous ones. The demo-
cratic party is not lined up now as 1t
has been in the three previous cam
paigns, and therefore what has hereto
fore proved a victory, would likely
prove a defeat now. There is need for
a new gubernatorial candidate for the
party.
The presidential situation is quite
different from that Of governorship.
There are large number of repubIi-
cans who cannot be persuaded under
any circumstances to support Taft.
Should he be placed in the field as the
republican nominee this state would be
sure to go democratic as to the nation
al ticket with any good democrat as the
standard bearer. With L.aFollette as
the republican nominee there would be
q more serious question.
The democratic party, although
somewhat divided as to preference for
president. will. when the time comes,
IN this state wage campaign that win

nominated for governor, the party viii

kota politics with good prospects for
democratic success TO q very consider
able extent.

That Taft is straight republican

Let ua admit at once the ccgency OF
the Iowa senator's demonstration that
President Taft IL not an insurgent- AS

Some sort OF progressive the presi-
dent may be, but those who expect him

Now, it would be quite as easy to
accumulate evidence that the president
is not on the other hand, a standpat-
ter. No member OF that once omnipo-
tent but now disappearing band would
ever have negotiated the reciprocity
treaty, or called the tariff Chinese
wall OF animadverted upon the wool
schedule as indefensible, or spoken OF
the immemorial conspiracy between
protected interests as logrolling, OF
proposed absolute free trade to the
Canadian government, or made a free

ular session of congress this winter.
