For the Interests
Of Wibaux County

Wibaux County is at last a re-
ality, after a long persjstant
struggle. The verdict has been
rendered by the voters, in no
uncertain acclaim. That they
wished to be set aside from Daw-
son county, and to be given
chance for self government, and
this verdict cannot be set aside
by the whimsical veto of the
governor. We have got what
we desired, and it is now up to
us to show the people that we
are capable Of running little
county in a safe and sane man
ner, and herein lies our oppor-
tunity. With the resources we
have, and the small obligations
falling to US from Dawson coun-
ty, we start with practically a
clean slate.
We do not wish to pose as a
dictator, but we have some ideas
OF our own, which we propose to
expound, and will give the use
of our columns to others to do
the same. First of all let us be
conservative, but not parsimoni-
Gus. We believe that a good
judicious set Of commissioners.
have been elected, but they will
want and need the advice and
experience of others, so let that
advice be of the kind that will
render the most good, to the
most people. Let US not carry
altogether in mind what we per-
sonally need or would like but
what some other fellow needs
badly, for instance the home
steader twenty-five miles out
may need culvert across a draw
much more than one nearer the
town needs gravel on a gumbo
road, both are needed, but the
question is where wi | the work
do the most good for the most
people
Let us vote enough tax for the
running of the county conserya-
lively and as much more as can
be borne without discomfort for
road improvements. Let us not
buy big traction engines and ex-
penslve road machinery, when
a pair of ''broncs" and scran.
er Will do the work better. Bet
ter roads for less money has
peen the slogan Of our boosters.
and we are in accord with that

RAILROADS WINS RATE SUIT
Can Charge Three Cents for First Five
Miles Travelled in Minnesota.

St. Paul. Dec. 19:-Railroads in Min.
nesota can charge 8 cents a mile for
the first five miles CT passenger
trip, according to a decision Of the
supreme court.
The case arose under the Bendixen
2-cent fare law passed by the last leg
islature. The St. Paul road brought
a suit in the Ramsey county district
court contending that it had a right
to charge 9 cents a mile for the first
five miles Of any passenger ticket.
The Bendixen law provides such a
charge can be made for the first five
miles, but the Ramsey court construed
it to mean only when a ticket is for
five miles or a shorter distance. The
supreme court reversed this decision,
and holds that regardless of the dis
tance railroads are entitled to Is
cents for the first five miles travelled
and 2 cents a mile for the remaining
distance. .-

In Cutting Recommendation Made

Army and Navy 10 Short Of Men:
Washington, Dec. 19.-Representa-

of the national defenses by special
commission. .s"& r i ~ :.-..-i
'I am here to ask you to appropri-

ommended by the general naval board
for this years construction" he said.
II am sorry to say that Secretary
Daniels, in his recommendations to
congress, has cut the naval boards
building program for this year almost
exactly in two. ~ ..-~..~
IF you gentlemen had permitted me
to present as witnesses a few recent
ly retired officers in single day the
country would have learned of our de-
mented policy of building warships
for cold storage. IN
"If We had gone to war with the
rest of the first class powers early in
August do you realize that no less
than nine of our .battleships would
not have been ready to fight? We
have fifteen cruisers, twenty-five de-
stroyers, eighteen torpedo boats, five
submarines and perhaps a dozen mis-
cellaneous fighting ships kept in cold
storage with the battleships. Eighty
fighting vessels of: our modest navy
are not available for battle in an
emergency.

II charge that our navy is $4,000
men short and further shortage OF
10000 men is in sight The general
board, which has actually made our
war plans, estimates the enlisted force
of the navy as between 10000 and So
900 men short for war. II any atten-
tion had been paid to the general

tional safety, instead of only twenty
seven battleships built and building
and authorized, we should now have
forty-seven battleships built, building
and authorized. Instead of sixty-eight
destroyers we should now have 1877
destroyers.
do you know that we have fifty
six submarines in all, built and build
ing, good, bad and Indifferent. Now
comes Secretary Daniels and in few,
soothing words recommends subr a.
rines to the paltry number of eight
or so.
I'VE have just a dozen aeroplanes
in the navy. The general naval board
in it's current report says that we
must spend s5,000,000 or air craft.
Secretary Daniels recommends no
regular specific appropriation at all,
but he tells us about a volunteer air
craft force Captain Bristol says that
that volunteer force doesn't amount
to Hannah Cook"

Baron Sonnino, the Italian foreign
minister, is the man of the hour in
Italy and is doing all in his power to
keep his country out of the war. The
action of Turkish soldiers in dragging
the British consul at Hodeida, an
Arabian port, from the protection of
the Italian consulate and in injuring
an Italian official has produced a
grave crisis in Italy's relations with
Turkey. Italy has demanded the i'm
mediate release of the Englishman
and has called on Turkey to make a
formal apology and to indemnify the
injured Italian. ~.r4. i.tz III .4g..J1

CITES SUFFRAGE BENEFITS.
Has Done Much for New Zealand.
Says Miss Jessie Alderman.

The results of woman suffrage in New
Zealand refute the arguments made
against It in the United States. according
to Miss Jessie Ackerman.. author and
lecturer. who is visiting at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. James Sharp. in Cleveland
Park. She said that since women
got the ballot in New Zealand saloons
have been voted out of seventeen prov
inces, the police courts now meet less
than formerly and deposits in savings
banks have increased.
Miss Alderman mentions a number of
changes that have taken place in New
Zealand since the women have had the
vote and points out that there was a de-
cided decrease in the birth rate before
suffrage was granted. but in ten years
after that event. the increase registered
I'D, as compared with "a. 20 in England.
Also the rate of. infant mortality has de-
creased since women have had suffrage
until now it is the lowest in the world
Among other achievements brought
about by the vote and influence of woln-
en-. said Miss Alderman. was the en-
actment of an equal standard of morals
IN making the condition of divorce the
, same for both sexes: Under the law now
a husband is restrained from willing
away his property as formerly could be
done without making suitable provision
for his wife and children. Baby farming
is now an impossible evil" she said.

that Is not saying he lives beyond his
necessity, for the pretty velvet dress, the

The thing for Uncle Sam to do Is to

generally and commensurate with the
increased efficiency he demands and
if he cannot afford it it is the
place and privilege of the government
clerk to be patriotic and do the best he
can on what he gets or leave the service.
And if he has periodically given the best
years of his life to his duties in the gov
eminent service. then Uncle Sam ought to
retire him without any controversy on a

Political Hornets Nest.

The action of Senator Blair Lee in Sc
curing a postponement of the confrma-
ton of Michael J. Tighe as postmaster
of Laurel has opened up political hor-
nets nest in Prince Georges county. Mr..
TiGhc was Endorsed for the Office by the
county central committee representing
the organization element in the demo-
cratic party. Friends of j. w. Gray
claim that in recent primary, when the
question Of whether Representative
Smith should recommend Tighe or him
self was before the people, Gray won
out by a handsome majority and that he
was, therefore, entitled to the recon-
menda ton. Representative Smith claims.
it is understood. that he was compelled
to stand by the policy Of allowing the
county central committee, as the govern
ing body of the party, to make the recon-
mendation.
Delegate Addsons bill allowing voters
in sixteen out of the nineteen districts in
Prince Georges county to decide whether
or not they want intoxicating liquors sold

senate. Laurel. Evansville and Hyatts-
vile, all dry territory, have no voice in
the matter.

FIVE GENERATIONS
IN CAPITAL FAMILY
Record of Mrs. Josephine De Neale
Believed to Be Unique in
Washington.
~oOCD6G0OO@
UxOOOOOO0G

That the record held by Mrs Joseph
inc De Neale and her descendants. as
an old family of Washington, is equaled
by few if any families in this city. is
the belief expressed by Inany OF their
friends whose interest has received
impetus from the fact that Mrs. DE
Neale tomorrow celebrates her ninety
third birthday anniversary Her de-
scendantS represent four more gen
erations. making a total of five. 1t
is said that it is extremely unusual to
find five generations having living rep
reSentatives in any one family. but
when added to this is the fact that each
of the representatives has spent prac-
tically ali of his or her life in this
city the distinction is thought by many
to be unique.

gregate of the ages of the representatives
