The formation Of young mems re-
publican club in this city is one of the
wisest moves that has been made during
the present campaign. In these days of
wild-eyed theories it is well for men.
old and young, to get together and talk
over the situation, calmly and sanely.
The country is not headed for the dem
milton bow-wows, even though some
people are trying to make US believe
that it is. Great issues are involved in
this campaign, but the greatest issue to
be considered by the voters is who can
best serve the interests of the people of
the United States. The republican party
has ever been the party of progress and
it is today. This is no time to he swept
off our feet by specious sophistries and
untried theories of government. It is a
time for clear thinking, sane reason
ing and vigorous honest action. The for
nation Of the young mems republican
club here in Devils Lake will do mucl,
to develop the thinking side Of the char.
acter of its members, and its members
can do much in presenting to the people
the republican side Of the case and OF
the republican theories Of the issues Ia
volved in the campaign. It is a good
move, and should do much not only for
the party but for the actual welfare OF
the people of the city and county gen
orally.

we going to give up the dead sure thing
for what is at: best an uncertainty? Are
we going to vote for the good, old dem

people could not gain control of the Re-

to work is working, not at living wages
but at wages which enable him to make
profit on his muscle or his skill. Is
the average wage-earner going to take
a chance on losing these benefits? Hard

republican party. Taft has made good

not going to forget it, even though the

may prove impossible for any candi-

The dirty fight which has been made
on County Auditor R. V. Bice during
the last year is having its effect, but
not in the way the enemies Of that gen
tleman intended. The animus Of the at
tack is so plain that all citizens are
becoming nisgusted and Mr.. Bice lis
winning new friends every day. The
facts, simmered down, are that r, v.
Bice, has made one Of the most COM
petent officials who ever held office in
Ramsey county, and the fact that he
has kept his temper and said nothing
while his enemies were doing all in
their power to injure him in the minds
of the voters shows that he has a good

GETTING RESULTS THE MAIN

The subject of judicial reform has been
attracting lively interest in Texas of
late, for the following reason:
In 1892 one Burrell Oats negro, was
convicted of killing another negro and
given short term in the penitentiary.
In 1898 he was convicted of killing an
other negro and given another short
term in the penitentiary. In November
1904, shopkeeper in suburb of Dallas
was held up, robbed and killed. Burrel
Oates and a white man named Vanr

convicted at separate trial. and hang
ed. Oates was convicted; but the Court
of Criminal Appeals reversed and re
manded the case. He was tried agar
and again convicted. Again the Court
Of Criminal Appeals reversed and re.
| manded the case. Once more he was
tried and convicted. Once more the
higher court set aside the verdict. =
fourth time Burrell Oates was tried :.
convicted. A fourth time the Court Of

WHAT IS A sCANDPATrER?

Progressive orators anu newspapers
are never happier than when deriding
the opposition as "standpatters.' BY
this term they try to systematic all an,
ii Roosevelt people as being opposed to
progress and advancement. To be a
"standpatter" according to the progress
sive organs. is to be blind to social UNI
rest and to the opportunities now af-
forded the country to gain salvation by
electing Roosevelt for third term. But
it is we'll before condemnjng the stand
patters" to inquire as to just what the
person so designated is-not what the
partisan Roosevelt man says he is.
The farmer who works hard and by
home and a bank account is "stand-
patter"-if he refuses to jeopardize his
prosperity by going crazy over Roose-
welt.
The wage earner-who enjoys steady
employment at good pay-is "s,tand-

is the police department. Devils Lake ia

transient laborers. and Just as naturally
large number Of the criminal class

a particularly difficult town to police.
