Two men were killed and one
more perhaps fatally injured in
headon collision of passenger No.

was backing onto a side track to
let the passenger, a limited, pass.

latter came around the curve at a
high rate of speed. 1t is a peculiar
coincidence that the two wrecks ON
this line, the first at Roberts on

both blocked traffic on dates of

In its write-up of a recent game
between Minneapolis and Winnipeg
of the Northern League the Mime
apolis Tribune had the following
to say in regard to the playing of
Howard Griffin of this place, who is
playing right field for Minneapolis:
"A catch by Griffin in the sixth of
Freer's long drive was probably the
greatest ever seen at NicolIet Park.
Griffin ran within two feet of the
wall and grabbed the ball just as it
settled over his shoulder" "Griff"
also got special mention in yester-

AT THE NORMAL

Miss Lenora Rudow has been
elected to the position of assistant
Principal at Barron next year, at
salary of $40 per month.
Possibilities of the growth of the
violin classes are such that Mr..
Howard will spend all of his time
at the Normal school next year.
Superintendent Lynch. of the
Glenwood City schools visited the
Normal Friday in quest of teachers.
Miss Nora LINER was notified this
week of her election to the position
of First Grade teacher in that city.
DR.. Farmer and Professor Lud-
holm, accompanied by three stem
ographic assistants, are this week
making an inspection of the school
work, investigating the quality of

here couple of weeks ago investi-
eating the physical needs of the
school. They are sent out by the
Public Affairs Committee, and are
under supervision of the Russell

| Congress have agreed to urge the
passage of bill based upon these
findings. Schedules are much low
er than those in the Aldrich bill,
but the cut is not so drastic as in
the Underwood bill. Wooden inter
ests claim that they will be driven
out of business by the Underwood
bill. Just how much truth there is
in this prediction time will deter
mine.
The fight in the Republican eau
Gus was as strenuous as in the
Democratic. Progressive Republi-
cans aided by those who have in
diligently read election returns in
sisted upon an affirmative program.
This was opposed by the old stand
still element that proposed to do
nothing at this session further than
profit by Democratic mistakes; a
plan that was popular twenty years
ago but is now discredited. The
progressive policy was adopted in
the caucus by vote of So to 81 and
Republicans will urge revision of
tariff schedules with a lowering of
duties as rapidly as facts, on which
to intelligently base a revision, can
be received from the Commission.
The Underwood bill has been
prepared in order to reduce high
cost of living-a purpose every
member endorses. The bill was
placed on Members desk at the
beginning of the session. Neither
House prepared it. No committee
authorized to act recommended it;
no hearings were eyer had; it was
constructed for the House, where
or how is matter of conjecture. 1t
carries sweeping cuts in some
schedules and free trade in others
in an effort to give heroic revision
downward.
President Wilson has the best
wishes of the majority among the
opposition party members. Petty
obstruction or carping criticism
will not be generally approved. His
sincerity of purpose is unquestion-
ed, but what may be the fate of the
Underwood bill when It's submitted
to the test, the method of prepar-
alton and passage is an indictment
against political tariff revisions.
The income tax provision of the
tariff bill is acceptable to Repub-
licans generally, if it was divorced
from the tariff schedules.
In company with Congressman
Nelson of Wisconsin l called on the
Secretary of Agriculture and the
Postmaster General last week-both
informal calls. In the reception
room of the latter official was a
host of anxious faced applicants
for jobs. From Louisiana to North
Dakota they were there and a roll
call during the day would have con-
tanned enough names to organize a
regiment. Democratic Congress-
men are beseiged by constituents
and the problem of matthew atically
distributing each separate office to
a half dozen applicants for the
same position is more difficult to
master than a revision of the tariff
even when supplemented with the
incompatible steam roller now be-
ing driven by our exultant Demo
cratic friends.

Some time ago there was bit of
agitation started over the menace of
the Maple street railway crossing,
and it even went to the point of a
rumor that the Omaha Co. might :"
install an alarm system of some
sort at that point. But the matter
has to all appearances dropped,
and it will probably stay dropped
until little school tot is run down
or buggy or farm wagon is smash
ed to splinters, or some such dis
aster calls the attention of those
responsible to the fact that they
have neglected their duty. There
is probably not another city or vii
lage in the state where railway
crosses one of the busiest highways
without a bell warning or gates.
River Falls should not care to be
singular in this respect.

The Normal and Galahad schools
played farce comedy imitation of
baseball at Hudson last Saturday
in which Normal graciously handed
their opponents IL points and took
but 5 for themselves. Nelson, the
pedagogue twirler, was the prize
donator and gave the home team
eighteen free passes, and what
scores weren't forced in this way
were mostly the result of his wild
throws to the base. The Normal
scores were the result of very poor
fielding and team work. Both
teams showed up woefully weak at
bat and in the field. Lack of team
work seems to be the worst failing.
