KEEP HOOkIN' ON.

To prevent the young infant from
dying of hamilton the third state
party would now have it appear that
the distinguished orators sent out by
the campaign committee of the Ma
tional Progressive party are coming
to the state of North Dakota at the
solicitation and for the express pur
pose of aiding that movement" In
announcing the intention of Mayor
Sweet to tour the state the third state
party promoters mention the fact that
Governor Johnson, of California;; for
mer United States Senator Albert J.
Beverage, of Indiana; Tom L. Hig-
gins, OF Massachusetts; Senator Clapp
and others, will '.also" speak.
Everyone knows that these noted
speakers are direct representatives of
the National Progressive party, as
signed itineraries by the campaign
committee after due consultation with
the committeeman in the states where
they are to be heard. A. Y More is
the national committeeman in North
Dakota, he is the man in direct touch
with the campaign committee, and the
Inference that these speakers are COM
ing to help out the state third party"
is an injustice to Mr.. More and chal-
lenge to the intelligence of the people
of North Dakota.
Every one knows that Mr.. More
would not jeopardize the interests of
the national party by using national
speakers to fight the battles of a local
clique which is vainly trying to hook
on to everybody and everything for
their personal aggrandizement only
Were he so inclined, and Mr.. Moore is
not so inclined, the campaign commit
tee Of the National Progressive party
would not allow him to do so. Neither
would the speakers be permitted to en-
ter into discussion of the merits of the
ne'er do wells that tried to put over a
third state ticket, if they were so in
clined, and they are not so inclined.
/ Judging from the careless way these
men, who keep hookin' on, handle the
names of national speakers in connec-
ton with their personal Campaign"
by the time the distinguished orators
arrive in North Dakota they will be
on such familiar terms as to address
Governor Johnson as "Hp; Senator
Beveridge as albert u and Mr.. Hig-

RACIAL lMPOSsIBILITlES.

The suicide of Jack Johnson's white
wife only illustrates the impossible
ties OF mingling the white and black
races. The last moments of her sui
fering were pathetic, yet sympathy is
lacking.
When this woman married the black
prize fighter she was of mature years,
had been married to a turfman in
New York, and knew the ways of the
world. No doubt she was carried
away by the glamour of being the wife
of the champion prize fighter of the
world, though he be a negro. She
probably imagined notoriety would
gloss over the repulsive allegiance.
It is possible she thought she might
be envied and admired as the wife of
Jack Johnson.
Whatever may have been her delu-
sions at the time of her marriage So
cial astracism soon brought her face
to face with the impossibility of the
union. She had luxury and travel but
wherever she and her husband went,
there was no welcome for her. She
must remain in seclusion or be stared
at in public, and her woman's intui-
ton read the thoughts of the staring
public. The mental anguish she must
have suffered was beyond endurance,
and it is the wonder that tragic or
sensational events had not broken the
union long before.

Lauder greasers are having the time

there was louder Lauder shout when
Colonel Roosevelt arrived and half
dozen leaders" tried to scramble on
to the Bull Moses back. The Bull
Moose will not carry the load and
when it is finally dumped, no doubt
Lauder, Carroll and Sweet will con-
tinue charging about the state on an

Mail Order House
And Farmer TdnQIe

Minot, Sept. l3.-Frank WHEREBY,
a former Kenmare farmer, appeared
in Minot Wednesday for the purpose
of ascertaining why he could not Sc
cure $3.50 worth of merchandise
which it is alleged he paid for and
purchased from Chicago mail order
house, on or about June 26th, last.
According to statements, the goods
purchased consisted of suit OF
clothes and some furnishings. Mr.. T.
A. Browning, who accompanied Mr..
Whereby to this city was highly in
censed at the treatment of his friend.
Action is threatened unless the mat
ter is cleared up at once. According
to the testimony, Mr.. WHEREBY has
written the mail order people several
times since June 26, nearly ten weeks
ago, but up to the time OF the COM
plant he has received little satisfac-
ton. The deal looks unusually pecu-
liar and if the accusations are based
on facts, the law may be invoked.

RIDING THE BULL MOOSE,

Since the vigorous campaign waged
against Colonel Roosevelt's nominal
ton in the primaries by the Lauder
following there has been no attempt
on their part to jump into the band
wagon" They have been trying to
ride the Bull Moose.
Outdone in their attempts. to defeat
Colonel Roosevelt the Lauder crowd
then set about to devise means of
sqnaring themselves by standing spon-
sor for a third state ticket against the
advice and judgment of those who
have the interests of the Republican
Progressive movement at heart. The
only way to get in right was to mount
the Bull Moose and try to ride it.
They tried to get in the saddle at
Fargo, and to all intents and purposes
were firmly seated. But the burr of a
third state ticket was under the blan-
ket and the Moose began bucking.
The Bull Moose will not stand the
prodding Of personal ambition for re-
venge based purely on personal dis
appointment in fair fight, and the

Congressman l.. B. Hanna return

Congressman l.. B: Hanna returns
to North Dakota today to open his
campaign for governor. Probably no
man on the Republican ticket stands
less in need of added strength this
fall, for every move on the part Of
his political opponents has reacted in
his favor. It is equally probable that
no man on the ticket will be more
earnest in again presenting his case
to the people of the state.
Congressman Hanna has nothing to
conceal from the voters Of the state,
either as to his political or personal
record. They stand out clear in the
light of day for the inspection of all,
and are found to be untarnished. In
the positions which he has held in
the past he has proven himself true,
faithful servant of the public, and
they will show their appreciation this
fall by electing him governor by one
of the largest majorities any candi-
date has ever received.
Mr. Hanna is live wire," and one
of the hardest working men in Con-
gress. Instead of using his Office as
the opportunity for year-around va
cation, he has made it a business, just
as he made his services in the legis-
lature a business. In his services to
the people he has used the same bust
ness sagacity which he applied to his
own business affairs, and North Da-
kota may we'll look forward to four
years of such prosperity and growth
as the state has never before seen.

The Times-Record has already ex-
pressed itself on the subject OF third
ticket in the state for the fall elec-
tion 1t is unalterably opposed to such
an action, and believes that Roose-
velt's chances in the state have been
decreased by large per cent because
of the action of few self appointed
leaders, who believe in the rule or ruin
policy, rather than that of the great
est good for the greatest number.
While this paper will do everything
in its power to promote the cause of
the Progressive party nationally, be-
lieving as we do in the integrity and
wisdom of the men at the head of the
movement, We shall oppose consist
emily, any effort to weaken the nation
al movement in this state by placing
a third state ticket in the field. That
the plan of such men as Lauder and
Carroll, Bartlett, and Sweet is selfish
and will be abortive in results, Is ad-
mitted by A. Y. More, A. NJ. Baker,
and other real Progressive leaders in
this state. Mr.. More has repeatedly
stated that he did not consider the
placing of new ticket in the state a
wise move, in view of local conditions.
Mr.. Baker has made the same state
ment, and the fact that such a ticket
has been put up, indicates that they
have been forced into acquiescence
against their best judgment and
wishes,

satellites who can secure a following

kota. Helgeson, Hanna, Young, Nor.
! ton, any one Of them can influence
more Progressive votes than the en-
tire galaxy of third party leaders, and
| they are not exerting that influence.
We believe in Roosevelt, and the
| principles which the Third Party has
espoused, but another fiasco like that
| in Fargo last week, and the events
which have succeeded that meeting
will lose thousands of votes to the
| Progressive cause.

DISTRICT FORTY NOTES.

Sept. 13.-Miss Mabel Milton has
gone to Oriska where she will teach
school this winter. Miss Milton was
very popular with the young people
here and will be greatly missed.
Last week group of District Forty
youngsters" went plumming. On
their return trip it was necessary to
descend a steep hill by long, spiral
glide route. Just as the vehicle start
ed on the corkscrew road it collapsed
and there was spill of youngsters
and 'plums. AS the plums rolled far
Their than the youngsters" and could
not be so easily gathered up, they
were left lying on the ground.

Help the Farmers by
Laying in fuel Now
PRODUCERS OF THE BIG CROPS
WILL SUFFER FROM FAMINE W.
UNLESS CITY ASSISTS.

Residents OF Valley City partially
responded to the request of coal deal
ers to lay in their supply early on &C
count of the car shortage and inabil-
ity to obtain charters for coal car
riers on the lakes, and many helped
to avert a threatened fuel famine by
filing their bins. There is now an
other angle to the situation. The
farmers have been so busy with their
bumper harvest that they have had
no time to lay in their coal supply.
Residents of the city who have not
laid in their winter supply are asked
to do so by the dealers and help out
the busy farmers. y.
Dealers have been able to keep their
bins full up to the present time, but
the season of car shortage is now
coming on and coal from the middle
of the month on, will be difficult to get
except in single carload lots, if at all.
With the passing of the harvest the
farmers will come to the city for their
fuel. Unless Valley City residents
help them out by buying now and
leaving the surplus for the farmers
later in the fall and at the beginning
of winter, the producers of the bum
per crops will be shivering for lack of
coal.

Condition Of Crops

WILD REPORTS.

c. J. Lee, one Of the big farmers Of
North Dakota, has just completed
trip through the country for the pur-
pose Of making an estimate Of the
crops.
There is not going to be the crop
reported said Mr.. Lee. 1T will be,
a bumper, so big there is no cause for
exaggerated estimates, but will fall be-
low reports. Wheat is running 18 to
20 bushels to the acre instead of 25 to
80 as reported, but the yield is almost
double the average. 1t is practically
all Northern No 1 grade. Flax is rum
ming 10 to 20 bushels to the acre, while
the average is about 10. Barley is 60
ing 40 bushels to the acre, Is bushels
above the average. Oats is making SO
bushels to the acre, compared with an
average Of 30 bushels. =,
Good Crop Of Corn.
~There is also an excellent crop of
corn, and if the frost holds of two
weeks longer there will be double the
crop of last year. Corn is now sure
crop in North Dakota. -.
"The potato yield is heavy but the
protracted rains have caused some to
rot in the ground. However, this is
not serious, as the price of potatoes
has dropped until there IS no premium
value on them. &4."

is probably double the acreage this

can be grown with success here. Next
