Even Democrats Admit his Worth

My good friend 81. 8. Ridgely
is the ideal republican candidate
for governor. He represents in
bis personality all those republic
can sentiments which have main
tanned in the republican ranks in
this state for a quarter of a GEN.
fury. He honestly believes that
the republican party is more than
half divine. He has no respect
for any manner of side issue which
will tend to swerve the party out
of the established channels. He
regards a progressive republican
as q sort of washed democrat. In
his capacity as a candidate for
governor he will certainly draw to
his support every republican voter
who regards the party as a visible
body, working under divine de-
crees, rather than as a purely man
made association of men. If elect
ed he will 90 the will of the re-
publican party in Wyoming. In
point of personal cleanliness Hill
lard Ridgely would be a credit
to the state. He could not be
swerved from his pathway by a
railroad, an anti.saloon league, mol
any other kind of a lobby, save
only the lobby had the endorse
ment of a republican Legislature.
Men could not buy my friend
"Ridge" with money. The coin
OF party welfare. is the only coin
with which he could be purchased.
And so it is that 1 instantly pro-
claim billiard Ridgely the ideal
republican candidate for governor
of Wyoming.--Buffalo Voice.

Money Allotted
for RANGE Extension

Tor Range Extension
A concerted effort is to be made
during the coming year to bring
into use all of the remaining un-
used ranges in the national for
eats under the jurisdiction Of the
Denver Office of the forest service.
This announcement has been made
by local forestry officials follow
! ing the allotment of a special fund
by the Washington office to carry
out the project.
According to forestry officials,
the department has sought to util-
ize all of the accessible forage re-
sources as far as possible consist
eut with the interests of timber
and water conservation, and the
permanent use of the ranges them
selves. Consequently practically
all of the accessible areas within
the national forests of Colorado,
Wyoming, and South Dakota are
now annually allotted to the live
stock industry. What few ranges
remain vacant are unallotted eth.
or because of their inaccessibility
4 and lack of local demand, or be-
cause they are necessarily closed
owing to the presence Of plants
poisonous to stock, or through
lack of requisite water. In order
to overcome these adverse condi-
tions and to open up all of the ac-
cessible grazing g a special
fund has been allotted to the dis
trict forester in addition to the
regular annual range improve
ment allotment. This special fund
it is said will be expended only on
such forests as have unused ranges
that may be made useful through
the construction of additional
trails, drift fences, and through
water development and like means.

1914 RAILWAY CONSTRUCTION.

Reports of official action by the
railways entering North Dakota as
shown by the records of the North
Dakota Development League Publicity
Bureau, shows that new lines totaling
about 525 miles will be constructed in
the state during 1914, and this does not
take into consideration the contemplate
ed extension of the Milwaukee railway
through Grand Forks to Winnipeg,
which is surveyed but may not be con-
structed until next season. Five hun
dred and twenty-five miles Of new lines
means an increase of over ten per
cent in North Dakota's railway service,
and that this state has more mileage
than the great majority of eastern
states. The railway companies see
the future of this great state, and they
are all laying their plans to be in po-
sition to get their share Of its future
great traffic.

PLEASE READ.

Again we wish to call attention to
the recent fire which has MADE 1t i'm.
perative that all past due accounts to
the Times Record be paid. The indi-
vidual accounts are very small but COL
lected they would mean large amount
which would be very helpful at this
time. There is almost $4,000 sub.
scription accounts Of the Times Re-
cord books due and payable and un-
der the circumstances it does not seem
entirely fair that the company should
be compelled to carry this. :aost Of
the accounts are allowed to run simply
because the subscriber has overlooked
paying it from time to time which
amounts to carelessness. This will be
the last reference to the matter
through the columns of the paper but
it is hoped that the Times Record fam
lily will turn sympathetic ear at this
time and respond as generously as
their several purses will permit, and
that is all that will be asked or ex.
Dected.

RAILROAD ENTRENChMENT.

As a result Of conditions brought
about largely through recent legisla-
ton policy Of retrenchment is being
carried out by the various railroads
that is a hard blow at railroad labor
generally. 1t has been known locally
for some time that the Northern Pa
cific was laying off men, in fact one
man in the local service here that has
driven an engine for 81 years is the
next on the list for lay off, showing
that there greater reduction in men
than ever before. The cause is attri-
buted to various causes but perhaps
the following dispatch from New
York will explain as well as anything
that might be written.
Adverse state legislation, general
uncertainty and business construction
have compelled the important rail.
roads Of the eastern part of the United
States to adopt drastic policy Of re.
trenchment.
LAS a consequence. on such great
lines as the Pennsylvania, the New
York Central, the New York, New
Haven & Hartford, the Central Rail.
road Of New Jersey, the Lehigh Valley
and others, thousands Of men have
been laid off in every department;
more thousands of maintenance men,
operating men, and men in all other de-
partments have been put on part time
Through trains and local trains
have been eliminated from schedules
and freight trains by the score. The
effect Of this has been noticeable also
by the car equipment and all other
companies. the prosperity Of which de-
ponds upon the railroads. The cal
companies, it was said today, have
either laid of or are working 10 pei

rail manufacturers are In similar pre-
dicament. .... ..

OUR OBLIGATION.

Congressman Young's activity In
providing animals for the Valley tCty
park is characteristic of George M.
Young and is appreciated by the citi.
zens. Now If it would not be impos-

who has been so thoughtful why not a
moose next Not a "bull moose" but
just common animal moose of any
sex. The Times Record wishes to
join with the citizens of the city and
county in expressing gratitude to our
congressman as well as our mayor for
the splendid work they have both done
in giving Valley City a collection OF
animals which is probably the largest
owned by any city of the same size in
the United States. But let US not for.

There are more inquiries now for

1.-The causes are manifold. There is
falling off in business in the
first place; and in the second
the adverse legislation in vari-
GUS states has so increased operat.
ing expenses that former conditions
cannot be maintained. One illus.
tration given today was that passenger
agents reported the Florida passenger
trade this year to be 40 per cent less
than it was last year.
THE new commuters rate law just
passed by the New York legislature af.
fords an illustration of how the gross
income Of roads can be affected. The
law takes 100000 a year out of the
treasury of the New York Central rail-
road alone. The full train crew law
costs hundreds Of thousands of dollars,
while the freight rate decision of the
interstate commerce commission and
the wage decision were far more ex.
pensive. In the face of these factors
with business at minimum there
was nothing else to do but retrels,h.

admitted that since the last weeks oil
1913 it has laid off $4,000 of its 100000
employees, and is going further Forty
thousand more, or One.third of the en-.
tire force, have been put on part time
East and west the system has been
compelled to lay off through trains
and local trains, both passenger and
freight. AS it stands now, it expects
to close down its great repair shops at
Altoona, Pa.
THE passenger service naturally
has suffered most in the new policy.
A railroad lives upon its freight, and
it has suffered less, but every depart
ment has felt the knife. All improve
ments and extensions have been stop
ped, and it was annouced that not un-
til the management sees something
promising ahead will these improve
ments be resumed. Until that time not
cent will be spent upon anything
that can be postponed.

MEMORIAL.
Mrs. Joseph lienhart.

There passed into the Paradise of
the Blessed in the early morning Of
March 20, after brief illness, at Far
60 in the 56th year of her age, one
soul of the rare and beautiful OF the
world, Mrs. Joseph Lienhart of San
born.
Her funeral service, held in the
Catholic church of Sanborn, will be
remembered by her friends as beau
tiful expression of her faith. Every
seat in the large church was occupied
by mourners who wished to pay her
the last tribute of respect which she
deservedly commanded.
The Christian Mothers Society of
Sanborn, with lighted candles, con-
Quoted her body into the church, and
likewise repeated the ceremony after
the service as last farewell. Father
Kleidon officiated at the Requiem
Mass, and the choir furnished the ap-
propriate music for the occasion.
In the death of Mrs. Lienhart the
Christian Mothers of Sanborn have
lost most faithful and devoted men,
Der. She was a lovely Christian char
acter and a devout and loyal Catholic
Having served her Lord aud Master
faithfully in her generation she was
gathered unto her Fathers in The COM
municn of The Catholic church.
She leaves to mourn besides her
husband, three sons and four daugh-
tiers. We join in extending our SYM
pathy to the bereaved family.-San-

VIII SONS SELF ANALYSIS.

In an address t0 the members Of thu
National Press club of washington
last week, Woodrow Wilson gave al
intimate picture Of himself, telling
how he felt as president. This
analysis, in which he described how
difficult it was for him. to imagine
himself as the chief executive Of the
nation, was not picture Of the cold
austere man he too often is regarded
but that of man warmly sympathetic
with the people and their interests
In significant utterance. he said:
Il was just thinking of my sense
of confusion of identity sometimes
when l read articles about myself.
have never read an article about
myself, in which recognize my
self, and l have come to have
the impression that l must be
some kind of fraud, because l
think a good many of these ar.
ticles are written in absolute good
faith.
Il tremble to think of the var
iety and falseness of the impress
sions l make-and it is being
borne in on me so that it may
change my very disposition-that
l am cold and removed person
who has a thinking machine in
side which he adjusts to the cir
cumstances.
Il am not aware Of having any
detachable apparatus inside of nle.
You may not believe it, but
sometimes feel like fire from a
far-from-extinct volcano, and If
the lava does not seem to spill
over it is because you are not
high enough to see into the basin
and see the caldron boil"
People who have not had an init.
mate knowledge of the real character
Of the president will be pleased with
this estimate of him as he himself has
given it.
