Dread Of Crossing

Many people have always had a
great dread of crossing the ocean, but

These investigations show that as
per cent of all Industrial accidents
happen to farmers. Last year mors
than a million passengers were carried
across the Atlantic without single
catastrophe. Even among those ems
ployed in the building trades, the dan
r8of the accident is only about one
quarter that of the farmer, while In
mining, which is commonly supposed
to be very dangerous, the chance Of
rnishap is even less. More people are
killed By falling from open windows.

A MISTAKE TO CHANGE

Representative Charles H. Burke is
in the prime of life. He possesses
great experience as a national legis-
lator. Every year he is retained by
his constituents adds to his value to
South Dakota and to the nation. 1t
is long experience, coupled with ma
tive ability, that makes capable states
men and lawyers. If Missouri, in
the younger days of the republic, had
retired Thomas H. Benton for some
new aspirant, at time when Benton
had just commenced to acquire ma
tional fame as q statesman, the name
of Benton would not now occupy the
niche in history 1t at present enjoys.
The same is true of Webster, Clay
and the other giants of the older
time. The same would have been true
of William Mckinley, Thomas B. Reed,
and the statesmen of a later era 1t
pays any state or any congressional
district to first select man of first
grade ability, and then keep him ia
congress as long as he will stay there.
South Dakotans tried switching its con
gressional delegation one time, and
speedily repented. They will not
make that mistake again, the News
believes. They should keep Charles
H. Burke on the ob.Aberdeen News.

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

BALTIMORE, July 2.-The dead Jock in the convention over the presi- dential nominee seemed more com plicated than ever when an adjourn ment was taken at 12:43 a. m. until noon today. Woodrow Wilson had made steady gains through the days balloting until he reached the high water mark at 5011A on the thirty ninth ballot. He remained stationary on the fortieth ballot and then began to lose ground. The last ballot was the forty-second when Wilson pOlled 4q4
 Clark reached the lowest ebb on the ballot where Wilson reached the crest. The speaker went down to 422 at that time but immediately began to pick up and had gone 430 when an adjournment was taken.
 The speaker came to Baltimore dur ing the evening and was a guest at the home of Mayor Preston. He returned to Washington shortly be- fore midnight.
