Paid Fines as Result.

Fargo. N. D.. Sept. 24.-Two west
ern ranchmen and two Fargoans were
taken into custody and appeared be-
fore Judge Miller in police court Mon

hearing before Judge Miller that the
two westerners who were returning
from the twin cities, where they had
disposed Of livestock. were having
supper in a Front street restaurant,
when they were accosted by the two
local men who wanted to fight. The
challenge was ignored by the strang-
ers, but after they got out on the
street they were attacked by W. H.
Randolph and Harry Smith.

eral witnesses Judge Miller fined the
Fargo fellows $40 each. with the
eight-day alternative, and the strang-
ers were allowed to depart. He ex-

Geo. w. Perkins says he is favor
ing the progressive cause III in
terest of his children. He fears
that if the present policies of the
republican party are continued
this will be very poor country
for his children. From the stand
point of the children of trust mag
mates this position is consistent.
The republican policy of breaking
up and controlling the trusts will
be bad for them. But it will be
all right for the children of the
common people, and we are more
interested in them than we are in
children of trust magnates.

Ormsby McHarg, the attorney
who conducted the contest proceed
ings at the national republican
convention for Mr.. Roosevelt, is
strongly supporting President Taft
He says: eff the voters of the
country should fail to send Presi
dent Taft back to the White House
and a republican majority into
both houses of congress, there will
be such nation wide clamo1
eighteen months from now for the
return of the republican supremacy
that all other parties will be swept
from the boards" There can be
no other man in the country better
competent to pass judgment upon
the justice of the contest decisions
than Mr.. McHarg. We must as
sumo that he is a man of honor
and good judgment or Mr.. Roose
welt would not have employed hin
to conduct his cases, and if he die
not think that the nomination o
Mr.. Taft was honestly made Ger
tainly he would not make the above
assertion.

Office cunr Dostoffice.
Scotland, South Dakota.

Every voter who has pride in
the history and a hope for the fu.
ture of the Repu blican party should
plan to attend the mass convention
called to meet at Mitchell Septem.
Der 10Th. The party is now pass
ing through critical stage in its
existence. The candidates for
state and congressional Offices
were nominated at the primaries
as republicans before the progress
i've party was organized. The
delegates to the state convention
were also elected as republicans at
the same time. Notwithstanding
the fact that before the convention
was held the new party had been
organized and had been declared
to be entirely separate and dis
tinct from the republican party,
this convention nominated electors
known to be in favor of the pro-
gressive party candidates, and a
majority of the candidates on the
state and congressional ticket have
declared themselves in favor of the
new party principles and candi-
dates. Yet having been nominated
as republicans there appears to be
no way of forcing them to resign
flom the republican ticket and ap-
peals to their honor have been un-
availing. They hope to use the
prestige of the party which they
have repudiated to help them win
the spoils of Office. Then in two
years from now when the next
campaign rolls around, having in
their hands the control of the re.
publican organization they can
change the name and motto and
come out under their true colors
The republicans would then be
without organization and in poor
condition to enter a protest or con-
duct a fight. The duty that now
confronts the republican party is
to fight for it's existence. The
time to defeat this grand larceny il
now, and this coming convention
should make provisions for doing
50.

4SA ATTORNEYS AT LAW
Office on secoud floor of Becker Block.
Scotland. S. D

The Sioux Falls Press has made
a startling discovery. 1t says that
F. D. Wicks of this place. who was
one of the committee which called
republican mass convention to
meet at Mitchell Sept. 10Th, is a
railroad attorney. The Press wants
to. know if the Milwaukee road
which tried to defeat Frank Byrne
for governor, is still in the fight.
If the Milwaukee road tried to de-
feat Frank Byrne then Mr.. Wicks
was a very poor servant OF the
road, as he was an active support
er of Mr.. Byrne in the primaries.
Moreover, if the pipe dream of the
Press had any foundation it would
simply mean that the Milwaukee
road is working at cross purposes
with itself, for it's attorney, H. c.
Preston, of Mitchell, is one of the
Roosevelt candidates for president :
ial elector, and apparently is the
spokesman of the bunch. And
this ls not all. Several years ago
Mr.. Preston became the attorney
for the people who now constitute
the International Harvester Trust
and moved to Chicago. After
serving the company there for a
time he was returned to Mitchell
to take charge of the legal business
for the International trust in this
state, and has since been their
legal representative in South Da-
kota. With Geo. W. Perkins and
Medill Mccormick, representatives
of the Harvester trust, managing
and financing Mr.. Roosevelt's cam
paign, from the standpoint of the
trusts the selection of Mr.. Preston
as elector is very appropriate. Mi
Wicks is asking for no political
faYora, either for himmaeli or for biz
friends. All he asks ia the privi,
lege that every citizen is entitled
to the opportunity to vote foz bs'
aarty candidate.

ON HoMME COUNTY D., THURSDAY sEPTE1 ER L. 1919

On the sth of August, 1911. Sem
ator Crawford delivered an address
in the senate in opposition to the
recall Of judges, and in it made the
following statements:
tsDees anyone contend that my
acts as public officer are acts fer
which / am responsible to the ma
jority only, and that if those acts
do not meet with the approval OF
the temporary majority, that ma
jority shall have the right to die
tate what / shall do2 And if | fail
to obey, they shall have as wea-
pom by which to intimidate me the
fear that unless do obey the wish
of the fleeting majority of today,
which may be the minority of to-
morrow. shall be involved at once
in fight for my political exist
ence?
Who questions the truth
of this declaration of Mr.. Madison /?
1t is the mere brutal power of mum
bers, unrestained, unchecked, no
guarantee anywhere for the minor
ity that is the basi 8 of such a gov
ernment-a pure democracy.
x All these safeguards are
to be broken down-for this is the
first step in that direction-and
the brutal control of the majority
is to be installed. So long
as l have voice and will and a
conviction | shall oppose
it in the United States senate and
elsewhere. It is revolutionary. 1t
is bad.
u Talk to me about the ma
jority of the people always being
trusted. Some one ought to
! speak out against all this cant and
this preaching about faith in the
people to cover up an attempt to
put into the hands of an angry,
shifting, feeting majority the
power to overawe and menace the
courts of the country.
Senator Crawford is now in
South Dakota and is defending the
action of the Huron convention.
which by the "mere brutal power
of numbers" disfranchised every
voter in the state who wished 10
support the regular republican
ticket. The only argument that
he can advance for his inconsiet-
ent course is that ''an angry, shift
ing, feeting majority" has exer-
cised it's "brutal power" And one
of the cardinal principles of the
party which Mr.. Crawford is now
supporting, ls the recall of judicial
decisions which in his senate
speech he promised to oppose 50
long as he had "voice, and will
and a conviction" Since we know
that he still has voice we must
conclude that he has lost his will
and his conviction.

If any party can get encourge-
ment from the election returns in
Vermont it is the democrats. the
democratic vote showed sub
stantial gain while the progressive
vote simply reduced the repu blican
majority below the danger point,
but only succeeded in standing
third in he race.

Since the old scarecrow has been
raised by the progressives, that the
railroads are interesting themselves
in behalf of the republicans, how

in Iowa. John L. Stevens, who
has been the national progressive
committeeman of Iowa, and has
now been nominated as candidate
for governor, is the Northwestern
attorney at Boone, Iowa. We dis

tics, but if our political opponents
will dish up peanuts we shall have

NAY BE REASON
FOR THE CHANGE

Announcements that McVey and
johnson are to meet at Paris instead
Of in Australia. make It appear that
the efforts Of the opponents Of boxing
in Sydney r bearing fruit earlier
than had been expected. The minis
terial association Of the New South
Wales city named is after Mcintosh,
mentioned and IL endeavoring to put
a finish to Rushcutters Bay a the
for the glove men. So far a.
known, they have achieved nothing
definite yet, but Mcintosh possibly has
looked ahead and discerned the pos
stbility Of trouble prior to the day
when he can get the two negroes to-
gether. johnson and Jeffries had to
quit California for Nevada and John
son and Wells had to cut out their
bout in England. and johnson and Nc
vey might put q finish to Australian
boxing.
Possibly this match in Paris is the
first step In McIntosh's intended plan
to transfer his activities from the
antpodes to this side of the world.
He has promoted fights In both Lon
States. He has his y on New York
and may merely be stopping over in
Paris on the way. The Johnson-Mc-
vey match would be an impossibility
for New York city Of course. The
same looks to be true Of Mcintosh
himself. for q man Of his spectacular
methods would quickly put a fin
ish to the game around the big city.

lisation. They make the sport, only

PUNCHES ARE
MOST EFFECTIVE
Stockyards Battler Has a
Little to Say on the Box
ing Game

Shifts an d%fantastic moves have
no place in boxing sa syPackey
Mcfarland. the Chicago lightweight.
a a matter of fact there are only
four punches in pugilism that are
effective. These arc The straight jab,
the left hook. the right cross and the
right uppercut. You can count on
knows how to use them properly. Jack
johnson does, and so does Sam Lang
ford. They are essentially Of the old
schol, and, after all, 1 think it Is the
best.
There is nothing like the good old
left jab. If l were %instructing a
young fellow that had the making of
a promising fighter ! would have him
perfect himself in the use of the
straight left. 1t is the hardest punch
to get away from and by landing 1t
four or five times you can discour-
age almost any opponent and that's
the main thing in the fighting game.'
Some one asked Packey about the
effectiveness of blocking after COM
menting on his wonderful ability in
stopping we'll meant blows. Packey
admitted that it was largely a mat
ter of quick eyes n his sparkling
brown orbs indicated that he wasn't
lacking in that particular.
Learned Naturally
II just learned hat naturally" he
answered. Some one was good
enough to endow me with that abil-
ity. I guess. but just plain blocking
isn't Of much value in the ring. For
instance. a fighter who will just stand
and fold his arms over his face and
stomach when the punches are COM
Ing fast won't do. l always try to be
aggressive. l block and punch at the
same time and if you'll notice any
time I block a punch my arms are
always in a polition to deliver a
blow. 1 block a left lead with my
right forearm and il the blow glides
off l let my right fist continue on till
1t reaches the other fellow. I always
aim to keep going"
1t was remarked to Packey at this
point hat the general impression was
that he couldn't punch and wasn't a
knocker-out.
Packey smiled at this. Cyclone
Johnny Thompson, who claimed the
middleweight championship a short
time ago., told me l hit him harder
when you think it over. what would l
get by knocking everybody out? No
NOR money and hardly any more repu-
tation. 1t makes little difference to
me If in after years they say: Well
Mcfarland was a great boxer, but he
couldn't punch Luckily, I've saved
what I've earned and I'll have mine
then. On second thought" continued
Packey. IF I were to knock EN- all
cold, who'd fight me?
There are few enough now willing
to take a chance. But I a punch
and punch hard if the occasion de.
mands it. To punch hard all the
time / would have to sacrifice speed.
Nobody can punch hard when he is
moving fast and almost anybody with
two fists a when he isn't or is set to
deliver a blow"
The question o taking punishment,
was then put up to Packey.
Can YOU take a walloping in the
stomach" asked a b%ystander.
Why. not:"iasked Packey. I've al.
ways taken gdasd care of my stomach
I eve drank, or smoked and l level
put anything Vim my stomach that
thought would disagree with it. Sure
l can take a punch in the stomach,
