This was announced after a formal

was desperate.

might improve, at least slightly, was
shattered when the involved condition

fore election, every indication points
to Congressman L. B. Hanna as a
winner in the forthcoming election
Reports from all points of the state
are favorable, doubtful counties are
coming in line, and there seems nc
reason to doubt that he will be elect
ed with a large majority. The Sweet
vote will be very small, made up al
most entirely OF the uncertain vote
that would otherwise go to the demo
cratic candidate and will be rather a
benefit to Hanna than otherwise. Mr.
Hanna is recognized as one of the
cleanest campaigners in the state and
the attacks made upon him which he
has ignored, has acted to his benefit
and will result in his gaining many
votes from people who are anxious to
see a business administration, under

on the patient.
DR.. Peck, at the vice presidents bed
side, issued this formal statement:
"Vice president Sherman is gradu-
ally failing. The end will probably
come tonight or tomorrow; it is only
a matter of hours. Mr.. Sherman has
been unconscious practically all of the
time since yesterday afternoon. He
went to sleep about 3 p. m. yesterday
and has been practically in a comatose
state ever since"
The death of the candidate for vice
president at this time, after all the
tickets have been printed for the elec-
ton will cause some confusion with
many voters, as it may not generally
be understood that the presidential
electors have the power to fill the va
cancy, should one exist. The absence
of presiding officer when congress
convenes in December is a serious
problem that will confront the law
making bodies, and one that will cause
a bitter struggle.

Barnes county schools carried of all

his speaking engagements for the first
three days of this week on account

Mr.. Hanna spoke in glowing terms
of his trip through the southwestern
part of the state last week. He spoke
in many of the towns in Hettinger,
Adams and Bowman counties. A let
ter from John B. Charmley, editor of
the Mott Spotlight, to the Forum, also
states that the congressman was en-
Enthusiastically received everywhere.
Congressman Hanna said he enjoy
ed his trip through that part of the
state, and especially the brief ride in
company with Mr.. Charmley, who was
formerly editor of Mr.. Gray's paper
The Kenmare News. In his letter Mr..
Charmley says:
"A warm greeting met Mr.. Hanna

noon Friday, where most cordial
welcome was extended him. After
speaking to large crowd at Regent

MONSTER REPUBLICAN RALLY
AT ARM0RY SATURDAY EVENING
Congressman Eddy, Eloquent Minnesota Orator
Will Speak for Entire Republican TlCket---
Special Music Furnished.

republican rally held in the state this
year is planned for Saturday night,

Minnesota, will speak at the Armory

OF the state.

there will be many other special feat
ures which will make the meeting q
winner from start to finish. The hall
will be decorated with banners and
streamers, containing the names Of
well known political candidates, state
and national, and altogether the meet
ing is sure to be the biggest political
stunt pulled off here in many years.
The band will play in front of the
Rudolf and Kindred hotels, prior to
the meeting, and will then give con-
cert in the Armory, before the speak
ing begins.
Congressman Frank NJ. Eddy, the
principal speaker of the evening is a
powerful speaker. He is witty, and
entertaining, and people whose but
tons are not securely fastened on or
whose lips are sore should not attend
the meeting, as there will be good
laugh coming at least every five min.

POWER-FREED0M.

| a few days ago | stood on the banks
OF the Mississippi river at Keokuk
where a great engineering feat is be
ing accomplished
The operations there are next in the
| immensely of their undertaking to the
work Of the government on the Pana-
ma canal, in one respect even greater.
The new lock, which is to be turned
over to the government on completion.
will be the largest in the world. The
lift of the water in this lock will be
sheer sixty feet. The highest lift at
Panama is fOrty-fve feet.
The only word that properly spells
the huge undertaking is the word CO.
losSal
The enormous dam that stretches al
most across the river, white and shape
ly, from the Illinois side is completed
and, having its roots in the bedrock
far below the river bottom and built Of
REINFORCED concrete. will be there for
a thousand years and day.
The cofferdam of the power house
on the Iowa side comprises thirty-nfne
acres.
The cofferdam is being blasted out
of the solid rock in the river bottom.
Provision is being made for thirty tur
bine wheels. The possible power from
these wheels is 100000 horsepower.
Fifteen turbines will be put in at
first with an aggregate of 100000
horsepower. OF this 10000 horsepow-
er has been sold in advance-sufticient
1t is said, to pay interest on the invest
ment of $25,000,00O.
The power, you understand. is to be
transmitted by wire wheresoever want
ed. A large part Of the 6O,000 sold goes
to st. Louis. about 175 miles from keo-
kuk.
After spending the day In watching
the operations of the huge dredges and
many locomotives and cars owned by
the engineering company stood that
evening on a bluff overlooking the riv-
er. What was the lesson Of it all?
There was the immense power. How
do they get it? .Eai2 4v
By putting restraint on the free wa
ters of the river. The power comes
through loss of freedom. ~
Is it not so of life? The dream of all
men in their youth-and after-is the
dream of power and freedOm-freedom
to enjoy, power to use
But
Every man must learn. as the river
learns. that he only can have power
who puts check on his freedom. He
cannot have power in his life who has
no restraint The more restraint the
more power.
A strange law?
Certainly, and yet simple one. And
true beyond all peradyenture.

TIE MIRACLES OF LOVE.

Did you ever read Lincoln SteHens'
short story "The Least of These?"
1t is about Bailey.
Bailey is a mission worker with a
great pity in his heart for the down
and outs of society. In order to help
this class he got an appointment as
night guard and was promoted to be
special deputy jailer.
A man never got SO low down that
Bailey would not help him.
He met men on their own level and
was a friend They were never too
dirty or offensive for Bailey. He wash
ed them and ministered to them and
put them to bed. When they got up
up clothed and in their right minds
Bailey helped them.
1t was rough ministry. -
Sometimes the poor outcasts would
curse Bailey or rebel against his baths.
but he was as gentle though firm as
any mother. and his gentleness WOE
And then
When the prisoners had slept good
clean sleep Bailey would probe theiE
hearts, like a kind surgeon probing q
wound until he found the tender place:
He touched the spot tenderly. quick
", and then he was ready to take up
any question in which they were in
terested. He did not force religion or
the Bible upon them if they didn't
want to talk about those matters.
Bailey was wise.
He put into the mental stomach OF
those poor creatures. as he put into
their physical stomachs. whatever of
wholesome. nourishing nature they
could keep down.
Bailey knew.
And when the jail sentences were up
Bailey helped the prisoners to find hon
est work and get upon their feet. He
hired house where he lodged the fali-
en- men. He never despaired Of them
When they left the city his letters fol-
lowed them.
Herein Is love.
We try, to reform men by Furnishing
them. We fail. Of course. because we
cannot distinguish between hatred OF
the crime and hatred of the criminal.
Bailey could distinguish.
Love never fails 1t is the only thing
in all the world that does not fail. And
the world is dying everywhere for
little bit of it.
Bailey loved men. not theoretically,
not generally. but specifically.
Therefore he worked miracles with
men-the miracles of love.
