RECIPROCITY DAY.

The third and last of the series of
reciprocity days of the civic depart
ments of the Woman's clubs of Rock
/ Island. Moline and Davenport was
held yesterday afternoon at the Mo-
/ line Y. VI. c. A. with an excellent at
tendance and a very interesting and
enthusiastic session. Mrs. George
Roth of this city representing the To-
cal civic department of the club spoke
of the individual responsibility of the
member of the civic department in
civic life. She spoke especially of the
part the local women have taken in
their efforts to clean the city and said
in the course of her remarks that the
city officials we're perhaps not as
black as they have been painted, but
at any rate they are city officials and
should be treated with the respect
that is due them. She said she would
like to see followed a motto that has
been adopted by civic society in an
other city, 'Tn essentials-unity; in
non-essentials, diversity and in all
thfngs-charity." Mrs. J. w. Watzek
of Davenport represented that city's
club and told of the work that is ex-
pected of each woman in the periods
Of her life when she is best suited for
certain responsibilities.
Mrs. Gillette of Davenport, who is

Jf this series OF meetings and said
he hoped for a continuation of them
next season, in fact to make them

sestion is acted upon to invite the

ponent. 1t was a record breaking
majority in the political history of
Cavalier county and showed such a
unanimous approval on the part of the
voters for his being retained in office
that this year when republican states
were being made-up there appeared
to be nobody "itching' for the Job
of clerk of the district court, and
there was a reason why. Mr.. Rob-
ertson is not one of your jolly good
fellows, but a clean cut young man,
whose ability, honesty and willingness
to work have shown that his services
are of value. Here's where some
republicans will have a chance to get
away from the vote 'erI straight Idea
again this fall.
At the election of two years ago
John L.. Schwartz was elected register
of deeds by n of the big and safe
majorities which landed the ticket on
top at the close of the campaign. 1t
was the first time that Mr.. Schwartz
had made an appearance in the politi-
cal arena of this county, or any other
for that matter. Since he took over
the office, however, he has shown a
record for efficiency that the most ex-
perienced old timer would find it hard
to beat. Here is another trained
office man, the kind that you will find
asking the vote and influence of the
people at the polls as democrats. Mr..
Schwartz is a worker, not the kind of
a man who is looking for a court
house job because it is a snap. For
years he served his apprenticeship
under both John Rylance and Allan
Pinkerton, being retained by them as a
deputy because Of his painstaking
work and the efficient way in which he
disposed of it. This is how he came
before the people, his election coming
in the way Of reward for faithful ser
vice. He has made good in the one
term. The office is a means of liveli-
hood for himself and family, and we
feel fully assured that his candi-
dacy for reelection will meet witt
rendering Of legal opinions coming

equilibrium is brought about by the
sudden decomposition of the original

An explosion is thus III extremely rapid
decomposition. accompanied by the pro-
duction Of Il large volume of cas- and
the development of much heat.
There are we well defined modes Of
explosion which can be described as
combustion and defamation. In the
former case the explosive is simply ig-
nited. and combustion takes place by
transference of heat from layer to layer
of the explosive. The rnpidity with
which the combustion proceeds de-
ponds not only III the physical form of
the explosive. but also Oh the pressure
under which the decomposition takes
place. When in the form of fine grains
combustion proceeds much more quick
ly than when the grains are large.

talk when we say that there is no
county office which comes in closer
touch with the pocket Of the voter
than that of county commissioner,
and only men of proven business abil-
ity, sterling honesty and a knowledge
of things generally should be elected
to this important position. We believe
that the candidates for this office,
whom We have introduced to the read
er above, measure up fully to this
standard. Messrs Porter and Russell
stand before you on their record of
the past four years. Of Mr.. Dunni-
gan, he enters the campaign with the
backing and endorsement of every
man of the community where he lives,
irrespective of party. Taxpayers, if
you put men of this calibre on the
board of county commissioners, you
are assured of a careful and economi-

ship, and w. G. Mcbride of Montrose
township. Each of them are practical
farmers, men whose intelligence has
enabled them to make a success of
what they have done and given them
a local prominence among those of
their home community. They are all
men who know we'll the needs Of the
farming element and can be depended
on to work for progressive legislation
in the interests Of their constituents.
At the head Of the county ticket
as it will appear OF the ballot is the
office of sheriff. For this position
Wilbur L. Drury was the unopposed
candidate of the democratic party
for the nomination at the primaries.
There is scarcely a voter in the county
but knows Mr.. Drury and knows with
out our telling them that he is we'll
qualified to perform the duties Of the
office He is not an experiment and
has been found faithful to every trust
imposed on him. His record during a

the approval of a big majority of the
voters when they go to the polls on
election day.
In casting your ballot on election
day we would ask the voter to give
consideration to the claims of Attor-
ney w. B. Dickson in his candidacy
for the office of states attorney. Those
who can lay claim to a long residence
in the county have not lost sight Of
the great value which the county
found in having Mr.. Dickson an occu-
pant Of that office at times when
sound and impartial judgment in the
before both the district and the
supreme courts have proven to be of
incalculable value. AS a lawyer he
stands among the foremost of his
profession. He is the dean of the
Cavalier county bar and in long years
as a Langdon citizen no reflection has
ever been cast upon him. With a
mar OF such judicial experience and
knowledge the democrats believe thew
have a candidate in Attorney Dickson
who can fill the office of states attor-
ney in a way that will mean much for
an economical administration of the
office and at the same time a strict
enforcement of the laws of the state
and prompt attention to other duties of
that office. Mr.. Dickson we predict
will show himself to be n of the big
vote getters on the democratic ticket
at the polls on election day.
The candidate for the next county
office in the order they appear on the
ballot, that of county judge, is Judge
H. 3. Dorval, who needs no introduc-
ton to the people of Cavalier county,
and each time he has come before the
people asking for their suffrage the
majorities by which he has been elect
ed, testify to the esteem in which he
is held by the voters. His knowledge
and experience in matters relating to
the probating of estates and the faith
full way in which he has looked after
the interests of those whose property
has been distributed through the pro-
bate court has given him perhaps a
wider acquaintance with the older
residents of the county than any other
candidate whose name appears on the
ticket. The office he holds is one that

He is a trained Office man; one OF the
county's pioneers, and as is not the
case with some of the court house jobs,
experience is an essential ii the WORK
done is to bear the stamp Of public
approval. From his record we there
fore would urge the retention of Mr..
Hamilton as Your county auditor for
another term, when you 90 10 the

Another post Of duty as a public
official, where efficiency is made to
score several points in giving the
office an accurate and economical ad-
ministration, is the treasurer's Office,
and the extensive knowledge and
experience which Robert Wvrk, The
present incumbent, has a. an official,
is n Of the best reasons that could
be presented for his reelection.
There is also the fact that the county
treasurer is among the officials of the
court house whose tenure Of Office is
now limited by law to two terms.
There have been cases where the two

At the election of two weeks hence,
on Tuesday, November Bird, the demo-
Gratis of Cavalier county tender to the
voter a legislative and county ticket,
made up Of men whose candidacy it is
a pleasure for us to offer for their
vote and influence at the polls, know
ing that if elected they will perform
the duties of the offices which they
seek with credit to themselves and to
the best interests of the tax payers of
Cavalier county, whom they seek to
serve.
The Eighteenth legislative district
is now comprised of the whole of
Cavalier county, instead Of the west
ern half of the county, as it has done
up to this time. The legislative
ticket, which the democrats present
to the voters of the Eighteenth dis
trict. is worthy of support from every
standpoint. John Mahon for state
senator is one of the old time resi-
dents of this county; a resident OF
Langdon for the past twenty-seven
years; a man of wide experience and
splel-did business ability and one who
is able to talk convincingly and logic
ally before any audience. We will
merely say that if elected he may be
depended on to favor such legislation
as will be to the best interests of this
county and state. For members of
the lower house, and of these there
are three to be elected, the democrat
ic ticket is made up OF such men as

in the case Of the present official.
Since Mr.. Work took over the duties
of the office from his predecessor on
January 1st, 1913 the motto that has
hung over his desk has bee Eff
cheney and Economy.' IN our
opinion there is not one reason why
Robert Work should not be shown
when the votes are counted that he
has been elected by a handsome ma
jority for the other term within the
legal limit.
On the ballot when the votes are
cast on Tuesday, November 3rd, the
people of Cavalier county will find

of clerk of the district court, and
it is that of Charles S. Robert
