Some Of the members of the local
Democratic ring we're thrown into
a rage several days ago when It was
intimated That Ross F. Stout, one Of
John Patton's Elk creek neigh
bora and a prominent business man,
aspiTed to the Democratic nomina-
ton for sheriff. Now. that he has
announced his candidacy that rage
is probably bordering on lunacy.
The ring had 1t all cooked and
primed to its perfect satisfaction,
but Mr.. slout's entrance injects
some new features into the cam
paign andsis said to be very dis
turbing to the ring.

Exposlng the Gangsters.

Some Democratic gangsters and
tricksters MARBLE much about their
saintliness, telling the people. that
they 1.-THE gangsters and trickstersO
are spotless and ready to wear the
robes Of angels. They are. indeed,
gullible about themselves, but even
their own party members do not
believe them, and 1t IS not infrequent
that exposures of them ana their
contemplate, low and undermining
methods get into print. Here Is a
sample taken from the latest issue
OF the Pan Handle News, Demo-
cratic newspaper published at Wells
burg in Brooke county:
1--WE are depending upon the voters
to eliminate the leaders OF our coun-
ty ring. who wear Democratic badges
but have violated Democratic pledges
and stand ready to do 50 again If OPP
portuntty is given them.
Leaders of the same gang that
received that eight hundred ($s0o)
dollars from the state committee,
over the head Of the chairman of the
county committed In 1904, under
promise of carrying the county and
did not make a vote for Decocrat
on the state tiekets CDoeketing or
misspending the money; of the
same that helpedSin the election Of
the watson Chiffon combination,
against the wishes OF a large major
ity of the voters and whose real
choice for president is Harmon; of
the same gang that made offers of
money time and again to US II we
would put ourselves and the paper
in line with the state machine; of
the same gang that solicited Us to
meet with them and fix slate, cut
ting out the voter; of the same gang
that sent a man to bulldoze US, and
when all these attempts failed, had
a printing plant brought in to run
an opposition Democratic newspaper
to curb our influence and destroy our
plant tfnaneiaIly, (the plan falling
because they could not find anyone
else to put up the money!.
WHY? Because we would not
do their bidding; of the same gang
that has been abusing us and the
county committee because we ia
vored giving every voter a say on
delegates and new executive COM
mittee, and harpooned their plan of
holding a mass meeting to select
same. And was it not q leader OF
this gang that offered to trade on
the sheritfalty in 1908 to Repub-
lican candidate for profit to himself?
When we refused the overtures from
the ring we did so in the interest OF
the voters Of the party. And should
we not expect the voters to stand
firmly by US and help eliminate the
members of the gang from leader

No Rural Police Now

A petition signed by about 100
names was presentd to the New
Castle Levy Court Tuesday morning
of last week urging that body to ap-
point the two rural police which
they were authorized to appoint by
the last Legislature, for Brandy
wine and Christiana hundreds. The
commissioners attention was called
to the number of holdups in the
outlying sections surrounding Will
mington. Commissioner Elliott
secuted the idea that hole ups and
robberies around Wilmington are
sufficiently numerous to Justify the
expense of additional police protec-
tion. The State detective, he
thought, was handling adequately
all lawlessness outside the city
limits. Mr.. Elliott continued

RESPONSIBILITY FOB WRECK.

1t will be remembered that on the
Fourth Of July there was terrible
wreck on the Delaware, Lackawanna &
Western Railroad. near Corning, n. Y,
in which more than 100 persons were
killed or injured.
The Investigation into the cause of
and responsibility for that wreck shows
that il was a case of human weakness,
rather than anything else, since no pre-
cautions were neglected. The blame
appeared 10 lie between the flagman
OF the passenger train and the engin-
eer of the express train that was fol
lowing it. The investigation shows
that the flagman was not TO blame, and
the direct cause Of the accident which
proved so disastrous was laid upon the
engineer. The signals were set against
him, and all due warning was given;
and yet, IN a dense fog, he rushed
along at speed of 65 miles an hour.
1t puts one in mind of the bad
Judgment that drove the Titanic to her
tate, In spite of warnings. and as the
Titanic struck the ice against which
she had been warned, and went down,
so this train, by an infirmity of the
engineer. crashed into the train ahead
and caused the shocking loss of life and
INJURY to persons. as reported
1t seems that in spite of all warn
lngs and all vigilance in guarding
against accidents that regulations and
safeguards can provide, there is an un-
reckoned quantity still in the back
ground and that quantity is the prone
ness of mankind to lose their balance,

proceed without regard to warnings.

In delIrium Of the moment and with.

explanation. The engineer of the ex.
press train is therefore put down AS

RIDICULOUS RUSSIA.

Russia is making herself ridiculous
by a naval programme which is not
only out Of all proportion to her naval
needs, but in foolish disproportion
to even the extravagant OUTLAWS that
are made upon the British navy and
the Germany navy. The subservient
Duma, evidently desiring TO curry ia
vor with the Court power, has voted in
favor Of scheme which looks to the
expenditure on naval construction dur
ing the next five years of s130,000,000
year, or total OF $650,000,000.
What possible use Russia could have
for a navy of this kind is mystery
to the world She has never had sail
ors TO man the navies that she has had
in the past, and has had to draft peas
ants, shopmen, and farm laborers all
over the country to fill UP her quota
OF men for her ships. But the abso-
lutte inef'iciency Of that kind Of a ma
val force was demonstrated in the war
with japan. where Russia did not even

SO far as the naval fighting was con
cerued.
The absolute imbecility Of Russia
upon the sea has been demonstrated
time after time, and still, with the
obstinate perversity of the Russian ma
tional character, she persists in the
dream OF being great naval power.
The result Of it all will be OF course
that all Of this vast expenditure of
money will 90 for nothing, and that

READE PLEASED WITH
WORK OF f|REMEN

RI. l.. Reade, secretary of the North
Dakota Firemen's association, and one
OF Bismarck's well known merchants,
had the following 70 say regarding the
splendid work of Bismarck's freight
ers at the fire in the Reade-McGillis
book on Sixth street early Thursday
morning:
"Tle splendid work of Eismarck's
fire department at the fire on Sixth
street Thursday morning has brought
fort a great deal of favorable comment
from those who realized how difficult
it must have been to control tie fire
wit sue a heavy wind blowing at the
time,
1T is not necessary for the mem
bers Of the Bismarck Fire department
to look for ideas on how to control a
bad fire from fire departments Of oh
er cities, or for any scientific methods
prevailing in other cities. The boys
deserve great credit for their hard
work, and the good Judgment that was
used in andli1g the fire."
