THE STURGEON TICKET.
EWhaA ChseH Pofrinf

The Patriot Is one paper that Is
going to establish record for say
ing what 1t thinks to be right. Some
one at Kinross got up what purported
to be Knights OF Luther ticket and it
was sprung in the southern part Of the
county the night before election. We do
not think any Knights Of Luther did
this, we do not think they would do
such thing. But 1t was nothing more
than a small political trick pulled by
some politician to defeat certain candi-
dates and among them Jimmie Cowan.
DR.. Rayner. Harry Harlan. Robert

Only last week the New York papers
were full Of the story Of 16-year- old
girl who attempted suicide because she
was destitute and starving. Eleven
years ago she was run over by horse

Transit Company. One leg was cut off
above the knee and she lost the sight
OF ono eye. She was granted $1,000
damages by 4 New York court. The
case was carried to the court Of appeals
and finally to the supreme court. where
the verdict was set aside because the
corporation had succeeded in having
her attorney disbarred thru perjured
testimony that was paid for. The dis
covery OF some old vouchers Of tho
corporation to the witnesses against
tho lawyer proved his innocence and
he was restored to his rights in court.
The damages awarded the girl have
never been paid ana today amount to
$1,000 with interest. etc. And she
was going to commit suicide because
OF poverty.
This Is not an extreme case Search

THANK GOD FOR PEACE.

The first item in the lis, of Ameri-
can reasons for thankfulness is that
peace prevails. On the horizon OF the
day there is no cloud of war From
that crowning calamity this country
has been delivered and for that may
We be truly thankful.
We are prosperous. The crops have
been gathered and there is enough and
much TO spare. We look forward to
increased prosperity. TO imperative de-
mand for our products form those who
are destroying instead OF producing
Our troubles are few and easily borne.
our hopes high. We look forward to
another year with confidence that is a
practical certainty. For all this let US
be thankful. but above all the reasons
for present thankfulness to God who
rules is peace. We are at peace No
armies ravage and struggle and die
in rivers OF blood upon American soil.
Our wives and children are not scan
ming with white faces the columns OF
dead, wounded and missing" Starva-
ton and ruin are not daily compan
ions. Thank God for peace. Thank
Him Cor prosperity and sunshine and
the promise that lies ahead Of us but
mos. Of all for peace.
We are peaceful and happy and
;p ri -
shed and calamity and waste. Among
the great nations Of the globe we stand
thus alone and favored. The children
are smiling on their way to school, the
mothers await them sm1ingly at night
and We go home to both at the close
OF day in safety and comfort. We are
SO blessed. Let us be thankful.
Let ours refuse to be a selfish
thankfulness that glories in our own
favored state and takes no heed OF
those who suffer and see no hope
ahead. If thankfulness stirs no char
ity and brings no sense OF RESPONSE
biiity 1t is not true ti1ankfulness. The
offerings DuEnt on lnS AFFAIRS OF sell
fishness are a stencil in the nostrils Of
the Most High.
The surest manner in which to ex-
press thankfulness needs no words
There ID misery in the earth. There
are hungry children and worn women
and the aged In poverty close to our
doors. There are multitudes OF stary-
ing people across the seas. Every
where opportunity for the true expres-
sion OF thankfulness exists. Every
where human need is present and in
sistent. Be thankful Act thankfully.
Above all, thank God for peace IN
America and II you pray, pray for
world peace and the reign Of the
Prince of Peace upon the earth.

THE RAvAGING MICROBES.
ISioux City Journal.l


A small blister appears near the
foot Of the COW. Tho animal pbeying
q misguided instanct, ticks the blister.
More bliSters appear around the
mouth Of the COW. The bI!sters are
due to the operations OF microscopic
microbe OF nefarious as well as in
dustrious disposition. The infected COW
does not die. She loses interest in
life, however and refuses to eat. In
virulent cases her mouth becomes a
sight that is best avoided by timorous
eyes. The microbes are easily passed
around. They are readily trans
m.tted by contact and fodder and
bedding serve as convenient carriers.
Once the infection gets started 1t Is
likely to run thru the whole herd. The
only way to stop the circulation Of
the microbes Is 70 kill and burn the
infected animals and disinfect the
premises. In the interest Of the COM
mon good rigid guarantees are de-
ciared and enforced to prevent ship
ments OF livestock or fodder from In
fected districts.
Why make such a fuss about a
malady that Is not necessarily fatal?
In fact 1t usually results fatally. for .
long. And at any rate II js fatal to
cattle raising and dairying. II II means
no more than scrawny cattle and
poisoned milk. Unchecked. the dis
case would compass the complete ruin
Of all the livestock in the country.
That Is why such extraordinary and
expensive measures are taken to
stamp It out. II must be stamped ou:
at any cost. II the process involved
the slaughter OF half the animals In an
affected district, 1t would be good
bargain. for that would mean the saw
ing Of the other half.
The best medical testimony is to the
effect that the foot and mouth disease
is transmittable to human teings thru
the milk OF infected cows. Trouble

The epidemic can be suppressed.

how to do It. Eventual success il

DOUBLE THE JUDGES.

At every election for a good many
years there has been felt the necessity
OF two sets of election clerks and
judges OF election--the one set to go on
duty in the morning and to begin
counting the ballots early in the aft
ernoon and the second act to 60 in
the afternoon whose duty 1t would be
to count the ballots after the polls are
closed that were cast later in the day.
This double set OF judges would not
entail any additional expense. 1t would
prevent men from over ctraininE them
selves by remaining on duty for
twenty four hours and 1t would bring
our election returns at east six hours
earlier and the count would be done
more accurately. The member of the
state legislature who will Introduce a
bill at Des Moines next winter for
double set Of election officers will
render service to the state that we
have long needed and waited for.
