The ball games between Eagle and
Palisade resulted in a defeat for the
Eagle boys, both games. The first
game was to l. The Eagle boys
never played such poor ball this season
as they did Saturday. All the boys on
the infield made errors, and despite
the work that Pitcher Nimon did by
flaming II men and allowing but two
hits the Eagle boys lost. Piayford,
Eagles old reliable, was the one who
scored in Saturdays game Palisade
has the best team on the western slope
for fielding the ball, but Eagle has i:
hn, - 4,
the big stick. The lineup on Saturday
was as follows:
Palisade-Clark, If; Dorset, eff. !;
Williams, Oh; Hose, lb; Patton, IS :;
Warhoo, c; Bradshaw, RI; Davis, 3b
Cutter, p.
Eagle-F'ulford eff; Stein, If; Lang
ford, 1b; Playford, c; Nimon, p; John
son, 3b; Howiand, Oh; Walters, ss
Holland, rf.
Very few errors were made by Eagle
Sunday, and if Nimon had had the
support that johnson Eagles twirler,
had, the game would have been won.
The Sunday game was a battle through,
out, and up to the ninth inning Pali-
sade had 3anl Eagle 0. But Eagle
got in three runs which tied the score
and up to the eleventh the score was
even. But poor Judgment was mad
by Carey and he fumbled a grounder
letting two men in and in Eagle IS last
bats they could not get any more runs
Playford made a double unassisted on
first. The lineup was as follows:
Palisade-Clark, rf; Dorset, cf; Will
iams, 1b; Rose, 2b; Davis, 3b; Joram,
If; Cowden, eff; Patton, SIS; Belts, p.
Eagle-Fulford. eff; Stein, 2b; Lang
ford, 1b, bench; Playford, If, 1b;
Nimon, rf; johnson, p; Miller C; Wal

johnson famed out nine men for
Eagle, while Belts only famed out two
men. Miss Blanche Mahoney accom-
panied the boys to Palisade, also H. L.

TWO TO ONE AGAINST T. R.

Later returns from the North Dakota
presidential primary show that La Fol-
lette received two votes for every one
cast for Roosevelt.
Does the full significance of that
sink in?
When Theodore Roosevelt returned
from his exploits in Africa and his
triumphal trip through Europe ne was
described as ''the most popular Ameri-
can" His right to the title was
admitted without dissent.
When the seven governors decided TO
save the republican party they insisted
that the Roosevelt popularity must be
drafted to accomplish the job. Roose-
Welt at first refused to respond TO the
draft. He insisted an being shown
that the plea of the governors repre-
scented a popular demand. He was
shown a basketball of ''straw votes
from many localities, including North
Dakota. The straw votes showed that
Roosevelt everywhere was a ive-to-one
or a .~ten-to-one, or a fifteen-to-one pop
ular favorite. Therefore the colonel
hurriedly agreed to run and expressed
the hope that the individual voters
everywhere would be given a chance to
express their preference in popular
primaries.
The first popular presidential primary
was held in North Dakota. Out of a
total vote of about so, 900 Roosevelt got
about Is, 900 votes and La Toilette
about 80, 900. Roosevelt had once lived
in North Dakota, and for various
reasons his popularity was supposed to
be stronger there than in any other
state La Toilette was a stranger to
North Dakota. known there only as .
political r~evivalist who stood for GER
tain principles advanced in the name of
political reform. And yet the North
Dakota popular verdict was two to one
in favor of La Follelte.
Why did the tremendous popularity
of Roosevelt melt in the acid test?
North Dakota is a radical state politi-
cally. Does the verdict indicate belief
that the colonel as a radical is a fake?
Does it intimate conviction that the
colonel gave La Toilette as well as
Taft a dirty deal instead of a square
deal? Does it reflect popular prejudice
against a third term for even a popular
man?
There are the figures two-to-one
against Roosevelt. Let the third term
promoters make what they can of
them. Sioux City Journal.

1t is really shameful on the part of
the morning paper to slip in such jokes
on its candidate when Ira is out over
the state, calling the newspaper men
names and trying to make statesman
like addresses. Doubtless when Ira
told his newspaper about his sad exper-

THE COLONEL TURNS A TRICK.

III
When Mr.. Mckinley, Taft campaign
manager, asked Mr.. Dixon, Roosevelt
campaign manager, by what authority
he demanded presidential primaries in
all the states, Mr.. Dixon answered
that it was bv authority of Mr.. Roose-
velt's letter to the sever governors.
Mr.. Dixon may not think that this is
authority enough, but he doesn't say
so. He understands that, in states
with presidential primary laws in force,
no action of campaign managers is
needed to bring the primary on.
Equally, of course, he understands that
in the states where presidential pri-
maries are o provided by law, the
heavy expense attendant upon holding
them, to be raised only by private SUBJ
scription of funds, and involving the
disarrangement and dislocation of
existing machinery in TIE districts,
would tend to greatly increase the
opportunities of special interests in the
financing of presidential campaigns.
Such primaries being without
authority of law, unregulated and
uncontrolled by statute, the oppor-
tunities for fraudulent voting they
would afford would be enormous.
There could be no penalties imposed
for illegal voting. Democrats might,
in many districts, dictate the selection
and instruction of republican delegates.
Apparently it is enough for Senator
Dixon to know that it is MIR. Roosevelt
who proposes the plan. Law or no
law, the fiat has issued for him. "If
the prince at Don ay should swear it
is night" says the grand chamberlain
in Lalla Rookh, Il will swear | behold
the moon and stars" We congratulate
Mr.. Roosevelt on the mobility and
~adaptability of his organization. He
himself is in supreme command, and
needs no law but his own will. Four
years ago there was as much law for
holding presidential primaries as there
is now. The law was in the word of
Teddy. But the word was not spoken
by him then. He had made his choice.
And sitting on the seat of power
elevated above the steam roller, it
never occurred to him that the voice of
the people was the voice of God. He
intended making it the voice of Teddy.
He may have thought that the voice of
Teddy and the voice of God are one.
Nor does it discomfort HIM now that
holding presidential primaries without
force of law behind them would raise a
roar of ragtag and bobtail which, in its
complete venality and mercenary char
acter, would be anything but an echo
of a divine voice. This is a device, a
diversion. Mr.. Roosevelt is not hoping
for presidential primaries. The pro-
posal is a trick to v up the embar-
rassment Of his fioundering in a quag-
mire of contradictory and inconsistent
expressions touching his candidacy for
a third term. 1t is an attempt to turn
the flank, to change the issue. No
doubt it will greatly increase the
admiration of such of his followers as
regard him with reverence as a second

GOOD SIGNS

The Journal announced yesterday the
decision of the Milwaukee railroad to
spend seven million dollars in the next
three years between Minneapolis and
Aberdeen. The Milwaukee lost heavily
in its revenues last year because of
crop shortage in South Dakota and in
a small part of North Dakota. 1t has
reduced it's dividend because of lack
of earnings. 1t is carrying the burden
of building up a new transcontinental
line. 1t is not prosperous at the
moment. But the officials know the
country" Which explains an expendi-
ture of millions following an adverse
year. This is only one year in many,
and in most of the years business is
profitable.
Then we find the people of South
Dakota holding council in Aberdeen
with development as the topic. The
one failure of crops last year out of
sixteen seasons is only an incident. No
one gets blue. because the great rally
ing force of the northwest soil is
known.
This is the characteristic western
spirit. 1t explains why the country
"stays up" We W. give up.
North Dakota had her failure two
years ago and the debts were not paid.
Nobody worried, because the central
banks to whom the money was due
finally, knew the people they were deal
ing with. The last crop paid the debts
and the northwest states are ready for
the new croo season.
South Dakota may owe money as a
result Of the poor season last year, but
there. is no worry. We know South
Dakota and she will come along in a
half year with her hundred cents on
the dollar and clear the slate.
This is a condition the east cannot
grasp fully. We understand the moods
of nature out this way. and when the
people Of a state need . little ready
money we hand it over and bridge the
gap. We know it win come out all
right.
This northwest Is a good place to
live in. 1t is a good place for the
homeseeker to tie to. In this year Of
politics we are going ahead and will
vote our convictions without neglect Of
plans. We IAN vote, and still carry on
