THURSDAY, JULY 9, 1914.
Old Settlers DAY was again proved
one of the enjoyable days of the as
sembly; for many it was by far the
most enjoyable. Old settlers from
far and near came to meet other
old settlers and renew acquaintances
formed in the early days when the
land was young and life was at it's
spring.
It was AN enjoyable day for many
besides the old settlers. Old settlers
they are, but just in the prime of
life, enjoying abundant good health,
fair measure of prosperity and a
great deal of respect and honor for
the trying and heroic part they played
so well in the settlement of this great
inland empire.
Allen" stories created laughter and
some which We're forgotten by the
speakers on the program were told
at picnic dinners and picnic suppers
before the evening program. Notes
Of the oldtimes were compared and
all in all, it was a day of much pleas
ure and much enjoyment for every
body. May it come soon again and
may the number of old settlers be in
creased rather than diminished at the
next great gathering.
The Old Settlers program began at
o'clock, following a band concert by
the Green Township band and a con
cert by Madame Stephali, who sang
the old time songs which everyone
loves to hear and especially ON such
an occasion. Miss Featherstone was
in charge of the program and presided
in most pleasing manner.
The first number Of the Old Settlers
program was down as "The First Set
tier" by Mrs. Craswell, and many
guessed the nature when the Indian
tepee was discovered ON the platform.
Mrs. Croswell appeared dressed in
the complete attire of an Indian prin
cess, She sang some pretty Indian
melodies which have been arranged
from a long study Of the Indian mus
ic. Mrs. Craswell's clear, sweet
voice, was well suited to the music
and her Interpretation Of the Indian
theme was delightful

OLD SETTLERS DAY PROGRAM
RECALLS GOOD OLD TIMES
Men and Women Who Came in Early DAYS
Have Splendid Time at Chautauqua
Recalling Events of Years When
The Land Was Young

Mrs. Spur in a very interesting
talk told some of the incidents which
recalled to her hearers most vividly
the early days of the section when
the prairies were still unbroken and
the settlers cabins were few and far
between. Mrs. Spur well knows the
pleasures of those early days.
George Fridd was called upon to re
late some Of the old Jim Allen stories
and responded happily. Jim Allen"
is character known to many of the
old settlers and nearly everyone has
a complete supply of stories about this
unique old times. To repeat here the
stories which Mr.. Fridd recalled
would take too much space, but they
kept his audience in a merry mood
from start until the close of his talk.
The old quartet was called upon. It
consisted of Colonel Peake, Major
Black, Governor White and Mr.. Fridd.
With the old band, which was also
heard in a stirring march, these must
cal organizations of the old days still
command generous applaus whenever
they appear. The old band consists
of Mr.. Black, Mr.. Henry, Mr.. Clark
and Mr.. Mason.
Mr.. Clark, with Mrs. Zetterberg as
accompanist, danced the Irish Jig in
old time fashion and responded to an
encore when he was assisted in pre-
senting the variations of this old time
dance by Mrs. Spur. Glen Daniels,
the boy soprano, and the SON of an
old settler, gave two selections very
beautifully. His young, clear voice
carries the notes Of the old songs in
a very beautiful way.
In the quadrille We're seem Mrs. wy
lie Nelson, Mrs. Getchell, Major
White and George Stiles, Mr.. and Mrs.
George Fridd and Mr.. and Mrs. D. w.
Clark. Music by Sven and Marku
som and Mason as prompter were other
features of the most enjoyable pro
gram.
Seated on the stage were the first
mayor Of Valley City, Mr.. Weiser, the
first jeweler, Ole Knudson, the first
editor, General Vallandighaln the first
couple married in Barnes county, Mr..
and Mrs. Christ Marsh with General
Scully.

go Over to another session President
Wilson's program has gone to smash
and his control over congress to pieces.
This is hot weather piflie. If congress
should pass the appropriation bills and
adjourn day after tomorrow without
another stroke Of general legislation,
the fact would remain that since April
7, 1913, when he called congress into
special session, the president has secur-
ed the enactment of an unprecedented
Legislative program, which it seem to
be the more extraordinary as its details
are more closely studied. Whenever
congress does adjourn, whether in two
months or three, the two things that its
Democratic members will be emphasize
ing upon the stump as they seek to
prepare their fences for re. election will
be the record of the administration and
the degree of their support of the
president.

PEOPLES RAILROAD
IS A MONEY MAKER
Left "In the Cold" This Town
Builds Its Own System

Tacoma. Wash,-There is one rail-
road in the United States that has
paid from the day it began to turn
wheels. Not a single dollar in bonds
was issued to start it. All the stock
was paid for and every cent expended
on honor. There is not and never has
been one dollar of Indebtedness against
the property. Every bill is paid on
presentation, and all current accounts
and wages are met at the first of each
month. In almost four years of OPP
GRAFTON the books show annual divi-
dends of 4 per cent and Il comfortable
reserve fund.
In that time the road has nothing
in the accident Classification on its rec
ords, not Il broken car. a mangled
pig nor injured passenger. Not a sim
gle lawsuit has ever been filed against
the road; it has never had to answer 4
legal complaint. And this paragon OF
transportation systems is purely an in
land empire development. 1t is the
Waterville railway, running from Wa
terville to Douglas Junction. The dis
lance traversed and the traffic carried
demand five and one-tenth miles of
main line and two miles of sidetrack.
For the three years ended Dee. 81,
1913, passenger earnings of the Water
Vile road We're $14.4G5: freight re-
ceived. $~1427979; freight forwarded,
S12,14792: miscellaneous, mail. etc.
$11.O20.50: total, $51.913.o1.
The highest priced ticket on the sys-
tenn is * cents, ana this covers
the whole line. and more than 10000
passengers had to be carried with a
single engine and one coach to make
the earnings shown, Ten cents is the
first class freight rate Of the line, and
much freight is hauled at as low as
IL cents per 100 pounds. More than
100000 pounds had TO be brought
into Waterville TO earn |$l4.279.79. The

BACK TO

Emmanuel Philip, leader Of the
conservative Republicans in Wisconsin,
wants his workers to turn back to
the issue of protection. 1t was ever
thus; if the fisherman out of luck
cannot return to the point in the stream
where he caught his biggest fish, he
will at least try again the bait with
which he made the catch. For poor
bait, the nonsense OF protection has
heretofore been very effective for high
tariff bcneficiaries.
Mr.. Philip il II very smart man, and
fisherman, but he may be unaware that
the old order has changed and that II
new order has come to pass. In times
passed, when Republicans in Wisconsin
marched to victory under the banner Of
protection, The Chicago Inter Ocean ana
the Republican press of this state car
ried into the homes Of the people speci-
GUS arguments Oh Jne HOUSE MuTKeb
club; and many were deludod with the
thought that somehow or other Il high
tariff increased wages and promoted
prosperity, and that the foreigner paid
{ he tax. The Inter Ocean has been
taken over by newspaper men of sound
political economy, and the productions
of the Home Market club no longer
appear to any great extent in Wisconsin
newspapers. The labor organizations
no longer regard high tariff taxation
with affection.
Theodore Roosevelt. who could mover
quite bring himself to advocate the
spoliation system as an abstract prop
o%sition, described it as "a system in
which the people have long acquiesced. .

pie acquiesce in it no longer

EDISON IS CHALLENGED.
Head of Tobacco Firm Asserts That
Cigarettes Are Pure.

New York.-Thomas A. Edison has
been challenged to prove his conten-
ton that the cigarette is harmful and
that it's users are feeble minded. Fur
thermo1e, Percival S. Hill, president of
a big tobacco company, in an open
letter to the inventor, expresses the
belief that investigation and reconsid-
GRAFTON would cause him to admit his
error.
Mr.. Hill recalls the time when it
was quite the fashion for cigarettes
to be attacked by well intentioned ig-
norant people, by notoriety seekers
and by thrifty legistors." The result
was that medical men and other scien-
lists undertook thorough examinations
of the cigarette.
Every one of these Investigations"
writes Mr.. Hill, RESULTED in exactly
the same set of indings-viz, that the
cigarette is absolutely pure; that it
contains less nicotine than any other
form of tobacco products: that the
combustion of the paper is harmless in
it's effect on the human physiology;
that its temperate use is III no way
Injurious to normal users"

appointment was due to favoritism.
AS a matter of fact it was due mostly
to A. l.. Mills, somewhat to Theodore
Roosevelt, and partially to President
Mckinley. Mills was at the battle of

In that rush Mills va struck by a
Mauser bullet which destroyed his left
eye and passed completely through
his head, but it did not interfere with
that rush up the hill. 1t wasn't until
San Juan hill had been captured that
he gave his wound a thought. All the
surgeons said that he would die ut

Mediation and the American
Spirit.

Springfield Republican; The great
majority of the American people wish
the South American mediators all
possible success at the coming Niagara
conference, They wish it for the sake
of Mexico, for the sake of their own
country, for the sake Of the American
continents. TO put obstacles in the
way of the mediators, to create Il
depressing atmosphere for them to
work in, to emphasize constantly their
difficulties, to fill the press and there
fore the minds of the people with
predictions Of failure-all thia is Il form
of moral treason that deserves to be
stigmatized by good citizens.
The mediators are not the admins

of Wilson and Bryan. They are not
