BOB" WINS NORTH DAKOTA.

The fact that Senator Rob.-t l.a. Toilette or Wisconsin has won out in the primaries in the state of North Dakota, means nothing in comparisl n 10 what he has 10 win in order to make showing on the first ballot a.. the republican national convention 10 be held in Chicago commencing June IS. We all admit that the people of North Dakota have paid LaFollette a compliment. and placed their stamp Of approval upon his progressive spirit. also his sincere methods of try ing to help run the affairs of the peo- pie.
 The people Of Dakota are merely voleing the wish of thousands of other Americans who would also like to pay the senator a compliment, there are citizens in every state of the union who appreciate what I.aFollette has. and Is trying to do for the masses. they would also welcome a chance to hoop her up for Bob" as the coming president.
 Much as many of us admire LaFol- lette. and believe he Is man at least one term in advance of the times and are proud of h!s many good qual. ities. still the Nugget can see no req son why 1t should change It's posi- ton regading who vii! be the choice of the party when the convention 1! held. and will state right now w sincerely believe LaFollette will bs the third man in position after the first balot is counted at the Chicago convention. We have no accurat, means. nor can We get a line up or political affairs like papers in th' states. who can keep more closely 1T touch; but from information to hanC We can predict that the first ballo will stand something like the follow ing: William Taft 500; Theodore Roosevelt 275: Robert LaFollette 125 scattering 70.

Premier Herbert Asquith has dis covered there Is but one way to end the coal strike now on In the British Isles and he Is working to bring it about. he has discovered the princi- ples of the differential screw. and Is applying the same. That he will get results goes without saying. for the application of this force when well understood Is capable of performing wonders. in lifting. or bringing pres sure to bear.
 other countries are watching the outcome of the battle now on between Premier Asqui,h. the mine owners and the miners. for it is a war to the knife involving the very existence of the industry of the United Kingdom and although the bill Is considered a fair one. still it is in the nature of a compromise The bill will bring the operators to time. also the miners who work under ground. and they will in part have to give and take" to obtain the desired ends. Out of all the fight will be mastered the lesson that the application of the differential screw 90 far as nations are concern ed. is in either government ownership or under the direct control by means of laws and regulations on the part Of the nation.

WANTS SURVEY MADE FOR
ARKANSAS RIVER ISLANDS
Auditor Davis Will Ask Legislature to
Provide for Commssion--Sends
Letters to County Officials.

w. E. Davis, safe auditor, will ask
the next Kansas legislature to name "a
commission to survey and designate
the islands in the Arkansas and IA"
rivers that belong to the state. wv
ing to the trouble of settlers in get
ting title to the many islands in tnc
Arkansas river especially, Mr.. Davis
has announced that he would not hon
or appraised expense bills for islands
until the surveys and designations
had been made.
More than year ago the Kansas SUI
preme court held that all islands IN
navigable streams belonged to the
state for its school fund and not. to
the property owner whose land adjoin-
ed. There are something like three
hundred islands, or alleged islands in
the Arkansas river from Arkansas
City to Garden City, and many men
have gone onto this land and settled
on it. The owners Of the land along
the river in many cases, assert that
the supposed islands are actually &C
cretions. Lawyers have advised set
tiers to look up the recorded meander
lines of the streams and settle on all
lands outside the meandering OF the
river banks.
The settlement of the|slands mas al
ready caused two murders, or attempt
ed murders and many lawsuits There
are 81 settlements in Ford county and
so in Barton county and a large num-
Der in all the other counties along the
stream. The islands have never been
surveyed and the surveying and ap'
praising expenses must be paid from
the money received from the sale OF
the islands and the rest goes into the
school fund. 1t is estimated that the
islands, will add close to half NIL
dollars to the school fund,
Mr.. Davis has sent a letter to the
county, Officials Of the thirteen coun-
ties along the Arkansas river saying
he would not allow any bills for set
Element on islands until after the leg
islature met, named commission to
survey and designate the islands that
belonged to the state and to abutting
property owners so the state will
know just what property it has to sell
