IS AGAINST
THIRD PARTY
Joe OeviDe Predicts Third
Party VIII Fail 10 North
Dakota

MINOT, Aug. 5.-Former Governor
j. NJ. Devine, one OF the leading pro-
g~.essives OF North Dakota, says that
in his opinion there is no occasion for
a third party in North Dakota Mr..
Devine has carefully considered the
situation and he has informed the
leaders OF the third party movement
in the state that as far as he Is on
cerned they cannot count on his sup
port.

kota," said Mr.. Devine today. II can
not see any fundamental issues on
which to base a third party. Mr. idea
is that the wrongs that have existed
in the republican party are rapidly
being righted, and there Is no occas-
ion to go outside of the party to rem
edy them.
Suppose Roosevelt were defrauded
out OF se%venty-twO delegates at Chica-
go. This Is not an Issue upon which
a third party a be permanently
formed. A few years ago the improp
err manipulation of delegates was
scarcely noticed. Now 1t creates a
stir. Why? Because we have a presi-
Dental primary, and the people have
expressed their choice. The very fact
that we have a presidential primary
shows that the wrongs are being right
ed In the republican party. The mere
fact that corporate influences are try.
ing to control both the democratic and
the republican parties Is not sufficient
ground for forming a new party, for
as soon as a e party 10 formed.
should 1t ever be formidable, those
same influences will try to control.
Take North Dakota, for instance,
Practically every conceivable progress
sive for the protection Of the
interests of the people has been plac-
ed on the statute books. There is
scarcely anything left to be done. The
people are in complete control Of the
situation. ALI they have to do is to
exercise the weapons that are in their
hands. This has all been accomplish
ed by the republican party, and can
see no reason for forming a new
party"

An Advanced Lecture

Granville Jones, you all know him,
was here last week and was accom-
panied by his friend, Shungopavi, a full
blooded Moqui Indian and IA medicine
man of his tribe. Shungopavi gave a
lecture in the Coteau opera house Fri
day night. He was introduced by Mr..
Jones in that usual easy manner with
which Mr.. Jones does everything in the
line of talk. The audience, considering
that the advertising was only for a day,
was large. Shungopavi pleased, sur
prised, interested and satisfied them
that the Indian was the white mans
equal upon the stage if given the same
advantages. He told of the history and
traditions Of his race and proved that
what we had supposed were supersti-
tons were far from such but showed
reasons why the Indians dances and
prayers were answered. He informed
us that the reason the Indian went back
to his blanket after receiving his edu-
cation was because we made no place
for him in educated society. The Indian
loved company and had to go some
place. S~hungopavi's slight-o'-hand and
legerdemain were clever and very enter
tanning. There never was a more sat-
isied audience left the opera house.
Come again, gentlemen.

HAD A fine JOY RIDE
WE ACCOMPANY MIR. A. w.
TYNER TO SISSETON
HAVE AN EXCELLENT TRIP
Instead Of Taking One Day We
Make 1t In Three-Have A
Series Of Misfortunes But
No One Is Injured
Weather Was Well

Last Saturday morning A. w. Tyner,
of the Tyner Garage dropped into the
Reporter and Farmer office and asked
us if we would like a joy ride to Sisse-
ton. Of course we accepted. We
always accept an invitation to go in an
automobile if we can possibly get
away. The weather was a little cold
and cloudy but no one thought it was
going to rain. We were just itching
for a outing. Mr.. Tyner informed US
that he was going to carry two gentle
men to Sisseton and would be home
again about Z o'clock. He came for us
about 1890 and from then on we had
a series of experiences.
No. /. The gentlemen after order
ing the car had gone out and visited
the liquid r~efreshment resorts of the
city and accumulated a very comfort
able jag.
No. 2. The gentlemen informed Mr..
Tyner that before going to Sisseton
they had to visit a farmer who lived
sixteen miles north of Webster and
collect some wages due one of them
but it would not be much out of the
way.
No. 8. We started in the big Cole
Car and were running along in fine
shape and when we were out about
caunn villas nv ponr n Gold rnin cot -
from the northwest. The roads were
fairly good when we started but the
farther we went the worse they got.
No. 4. Had tire trouble and had to
put in inner tubes in the rain and mud.
No. 5. Arrived at the farm house
and had to wait in the rain until Mr..
Tyner informed them if they were
going to travel with him they must
come at once or he would return to
Webster.
No. 6. Inquired the road of the
farmer who was sober and he told US to
go straight east until we came to the
Wist road and then go north. We left
the farm and had gone about two miles
when one of the passengers told US to
turn north. He had been a good pilot
up to that time and seemed to know
every road and every man in the
country so we decided it was better to
trvst him than to try to follow the
directions we had received from the
farmer. There's where we fell down.
But we learned a lesson from the
experiences which followed that was
worth the price of admission namely.
''The advice of a sober mar is likely to
be depended upon more than n full
of booze"
No. 7. Roads getting heavier and
heavier. Tried the gasoline tank and
decided best to go via Frank and get
five gallons. Arrived at Frank and
were informed that the store had none,
but that we could get some at Eden
Park.

Automobile Accident

One of those fortunite ones where no
one was hurt and the machine not very
seriously injured, occurred Saturday
evening near the Swanson place north
of this city when the machine being
driven by County Superintendent J. II.
Hetley, who vas accompanied by Mr..
Gilhaus, skidded and slipped on the
grade and went down into the ditch
almost turning over. The machine was
put out of commission but it only took
a few minutes on the part of an expert
the next morning to put it in repair
and it was driven to town. 1t was GER.
tainly a very fortunate accident and the
gentlemen are to be congratulated on
their good luck.

Carrie Sorenson, the little four or
five year old daughter of Martin Soren-
son, Tuesday evening was playing on a
pile of ties in the railway yards with a
number of other small children, when
the ties either rolled upon her or she
fell from the ties - little children

A Good Crop

Micbeal Darmody has completed the
threshing upon his farm and is feeling
pretty good the returns as made by the
threshing machine being firmly con-
vinced that for producing crops there
is no better place on earth than Day
county, South Dakota.
Mr.. Darmody's receipts were as fol-
lows:
twenty-five acres of Blue Stem
wheat that averaged 80 bushels to the
acre and 10 acres that averaged 28.4
bushels per acre.
60 acres of barley which gave an
average yield of 4.5 bushels per acre.

Mr.. Darmody said his oat crop was
not very good. GO acres only averag-
ing 35 bushels to the acre.
Seems to Us, taken all in all, that is
a remarkable showing for n farm
and is a splendid advertisement for the
county and state in which it is located.
What do you think about it?

cent looking mud hole and went down
to the hubs.
No. 8. Our passengers went back to
the store to get a man who was there
with his teams to come and pull us
out. The fellow would not come a
step until he was shamed into it by a
Catholic priest who happened to be
standing at the store. When he drove
up and the chain was fastened to the
machine he was asked to back up his
team so the chain could be fastened to
the double trees and he answered,
mot until l get five dollars" Some
parlying ensued during which the
gentleman heard some Language
which was not complimentary to him
self. He was told to hitch on, how
ever. 1t was one of those cases where
he had the best hand and there was no
other way out and it was still raining
and getting late. The compliments
paid him evidently had a soothing
effect upon the gentleman for when
the machine was pulled out when asked
how much money he wanted, he
answered, 81 guess two dollars will be
all right"
No. 10. We went on towards Eden
Park, rain still falling and roads get
ting heaYier and more hills to contend
with. Arrived at the inland city in
Marshall county and purchased five
gallons of gasoline from Bait Janisch,
who informed US that the road from
there to Sisseton was in terrible con-
dition. Michael Koenigs invited the
writer to bring Mr.. Tyner to his resi-
dence and remain until morning saying
1.-THE roads are in such condition that
| doubt if you make Sisseton." But
as there wa no one in Eden Park
willing to accommodate Mr.. Tyner's
passengers, he decided to continue the
journey.
No. II. We left Eden Park, this
was our greatest blunder. We should
have remained until morning and gone
the remainder of the way by daylight
as the roads continued to get worse
and from there on for any person but
an exceptionally expert driver would
have been impossible. We went along
slowly and carefully until we reached
a point six or eight miles from Sisse-
ton where the road used to go along
the edge of White Wood lake. 1t was
neither dark or daylight. We had our
lights going but we did not see that
the road turned off up into the brush
and went around the hill, so turned and
followed the old trail turning a corner
into the lake almost at a right angle
and before the machine could be
stopped with all the brakes set had

US that he would go up and get a

but it was too late to 60 that night
and he went home and left US.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.

| Whereas, on October 10th, 1912,
God, in accordance with His divine
purpose, removed by death from the
Church militant to the Church trium-
plant our friend, our neighbor and
our associate Ruling Elder, Mr.. Flaw
ius J. Ewing, in the SIND year OF his
age, and
Whereas, at the time of his death
he was the senior elder both as to
age and length of service in this
Church. He was born in Marshall
/ County, Tennessee, in tn year 1881,
and for year swas member Of the
Bethberei Presbyterian Church, and
in the year 1874 connected himself
with the First Presbyterian Church
in Columbia, Tennessee, and was
lected and installed an Elder of this
Church in the year 1884, and con-
tinued such until his death.
Therefore,
Resolved, first That in the death
of Mr. Ewing our County has lost
one of it's best and most upright citi-
zens, the Church a faithful and eff
cient officer and member, and his
children kind, indulgent and low
ing father.
Second, That while we deplore the
death of our brother in Christ, he
having passed the limit of four score
years, we rejoice in the hope that
he has entered into that rest prepar-
ed for all those who love the Lord.
Third, That we tender to his family
our heartfelt sympathy in their be.
reavement, and assure the moi our
prayers that the comforting in
iuence Of the Holy Spirit may be
given them.
Fourth, That this preamble and re-
solutions be spread on the Session,
that copy be sent to the family,
and copy be sent the Christian OBJ
server for publication.

Negative angle sighting is not pre-

than with the present Springfield
battle sight with which aim is taken
at the ground line.
The most important objection to
the system which has SO far been
advanced is that aim is not taken dir
ectly at the object, but at a point
the height of the object below the
object aimed at.
In the Illustration shown a reals
tic representation is given Of the
Remington negative angle system in
action. All that is necessary to con-
vince ones self that it is both easy
and practical to aim at a point the
height of an sobject below it, is to
take a piece of paper and cover up
everything in the photograph below
the mans feet, TIM stick pin
through the paper at point consid-
cred to be the height of the man
below him and it will be found that
x, the point of sight, will be hit al
most every time.
No attempt had been made at
mathematical accuracy in the ex-
planatory illustrations, as both the
motors of perspective and angular
projection would enter into exact
calculations. The curves represent
ing the paths of the bullets are, how.
ever, approximately correct.
