Was He Preiudiced |?

Secretary Phillips has rendered his decision in the case of himself against Carlson. While pointing out that the other man was to blame for the acci- dent he gives him the benefit of the doubt and does not revoke his license. Some such verdict as this might have been expected. The secretary of state was placed ill the rather embarrassing position of acting as judge in his own case and it was quite natural that he should give himself a clean bill of health and under the abnormal circum- stances should also show lenient spirit to the man he said was in the wrong The incident will be of value if it impresses upon the public the need of an amendment to this section of the automobile law, which will insure against any chance of one sided yer dict being rendered by an interested person in similar conditions. .-Ansonia Sentinel.

Fatal GIN. E. Wreck.

One man was killed and two were seriously injured when locomotive on the Central New England Railway was wrecked at Holmes, N. Y. Joseph Remington, fireman was piEned in an upright position against the boiler of the locomotive and scalded and burned to death, while two companions who escaped similar fate by small margin, were unable to leave him be- cause they were disabled by their own injuries. Romeo Whitson, an engineer, although fearfully scalded, made his way to Holmes station, a mile away, by alternately walking and crawling, and summoned assistance. Engineer Whitson and Frank Cowles, a fiagman, who was also badly hurt, were taken to hospital at Fishkill, N. Y. Bo are expected to recover.
 The wrecked locomotive had been engaged in assisting trains over heavy grade between Hopewell Junc- tion and Holmes and was running to- ward the former place, tender first, when the trucks of the tender left the rails in the center of a high rock. The tender plunged into the side of the cut and the cab of the locomotive telescoped into it. Remington, Whitson and Cowles were all pinned in the wreck age and enveloped in clouds of steam.

Con

In The Connecticut Western News of July 9, there is a suffrage article which states that now a politician can appeal to his constituency only on subjects which interest men, subjects of second ary importance such as taxes, tariff, trusts and so on, but that if women voted politicians could talk to their con- stituency on questions of primary importance, health, education, sanita- tion, and morals. Are the women, then, the only persons who take an interest in such vital matters ? Do fathers feel no interest in their chidren's health, education and morals? Of course, if the socialist feminist doctrines were carried out, if marriages and the home were abolished, if free love prevailed and babies were cared for in public nurseries-if these con- ditions existed, men probably would feel no special interest ill their children. But fortunately for the poor children we are dealing not with an imaginary socialist-feminist community but with things as they really'are. Therefore let us be fair to the men as they really dI0-Auu0IlCdu Lu0u dI0 Co1cDIdOSu- Nand justly so-as husbands and fathers. They devote their lives to supplying the needs and gratifying the wishes of their wives and children. Yet these ] same wives, if they be suffragists, show their gratitude by vilifying men as if they were tyrants who enslaved their wives at home and abroad, spent their time ill expressing women and corrupt ing young girls-some such picture of the American man has been drawn SO frequently of late that it is time some one took the other side and voiced an appreciation of his chivalry-not only to his own womankind but to women and children in general. He is con- stantly considering ways and making laws to help them. In Instances too tolls is protected as the man is not neither men nor laws are perfect, but they are good and they are improving. This is all that reasonable women shoUld-or do-ask. And yet, with the proverbial inconsistency of charm ing women, after beating men unmerci- fully as the cause.-the wilful cause of all their woes, even those imposed by the limitations of nature-the suffragists appeal to these brutal and unfeeling creatures to grant them one boon more-the ballot.

That "New Train"

In the ''Forty Years Ago" colum n of the Bridgeport Standard appears the following interesting reminiscence:
 'The new train on the Housatonic Road, leaving Great Harrington early in the morning and reaches this city at 9:55 a. m., is rapidly growing in favor. It returns up the road at p. m. and it is the fastest train on the road, and in Martin Lane and Edward Hatch, conductor and baggage master, has two of the most popular and accommodating officials on the line''

Mandan, N. D., Aug. 21.-The above
telegram was received yesterday after
noon by A. E. Thorberg, and now there
Is no longer any difficulty in the way
of making the Twentieth anniversary
of the Missouri slope and Morton coun-
ty fair the greatest in the history OF
North Dakota.
The dates as originally set were in
the same week as those of the Mandan
fair, which is to be held Sept. 2S, 20, 80
and Oct. ! and 2. AS the Indians are
always a big feature of the fair here.
Mr.. Thorberg, Sec. L. H. Connolly and
others took up the matter with the
Indian department at Washington.
Many letters n telegrams were ex-
changed and Congressman Norton is
entitled to a great deal of credit, for 1t
was because of his hard work that the
dates were changed.
The Mandan people as an exchange
courtesy should take occasion to attend
the Indian fair when it Is held.
kilograms were received that the
Indian department vas in favor of
making the change but that Superin-
tendent Neal of the Standing Rock re-

EXPOSITION BOOTHS
IN GREAT DEMAND

Bismarck, N. D.. Aug. 21.-Manager
Gilbreath of the coming state exposi-
ton expresses an especial delight over
the manner in which the counties of
the state are Swapping up" the more
desirable exhibition booths pm the Sec
ond floor, the space allotted to the
counties Of the state each year in
which to display their products and
which has always been q decided fea-
ture of the exposition.
Several counties, including Burieigh,
Morton, Golden Valley and Hettinger,
have had booths reserved for them
and each will be formidable rivals for
prizes well up into the first division.
No County Barred.
The management wishes it distinct
ly understood this year that no coun-
ty in h state will be barred, but on
the contrary, will be welcomed. The
commissioner says the exposition is
not a sectional affair, but a statewide
proposition which should commend it
self to every county in the state. Last
year several of the valley counties
participated and the people of these
counties were greatly pleased. More
valley counties will be welcomed this
year and every county In the state
should be represented by a booth
where each can display it's products to
the best advantage. The largest and
best booths are now being reserved
and 1t behooves those counties con-
templating being represented at the
fourth annual State Industrial expo
sition to write or wire MI. Gilbreath
at once to reserve suitable space for
this occasion. Charts of the second
floor, showing location of booths and
price Of each, will be mailed upon ap-
plication. Commercial clubs in the
respective counties of the state should
see that their county is represented
at this big coming event. Counties
participating will derive the best pos
stble advertising throughout the whole
country.

COURT SETS ASIDE
HENDERSON DIVORCE

jamestown. n. D., Aug. 21.-In a
hearing Of the Frank Henderson di-
vorce case before Judge ]. A. Coffey,
the petition of Mrs. Marie Henderson
to vacate q decree of divorce granted
her In March, 1914, was granted.
Mrs. Henderson was granted the di-
Vorce on a competent showing of cruel
and inhuman treatment, and $500 in
alimony and SIS a month were allowed
her. Henderson was enjoined from
remarrying until June 4, 1914.
Various reasons. principally fraud,
were given for wanting the decree of
divorce set aside. Mrs. Henderson as
serts that her husband told her he had
another wife and two children, which
was not h lease; that his alleged Sec
ond wife had Something on him. and
would make trouble which would send
him to the penitentiary, ana that it
was necessary for her marie Hender-
SOM to secure a divorce in order to
protect him.
Introduced in the evidence was a
note for 5000 for attorneys fees signed
by Frank Henderson and 1t was set up
That this note was paid by Mrs. Hen
derson as her husband said he had no
money and could not get a divorce un-
less she advanced the money.
: On June 8, 1914, Henderson married
Minnie Pellen at Sioux Falls, S.. D.,
n they are now living at Owatonna.
Mimi. Miss Pellen was a clerk in the
Fairmont & Veblen railroad offices
and in charge of the books and hnanc-
es Of the company of which Hender-
son was superintendent. He was aft
erward charged with embezzling a
large sum of money from the company,
and Mrs. Marie Henderson alleges that
she ecured the divorce at .Hender-
sons request in order for him 10 mar
ry Minnie Pellen so the latter could
testify against him IN criminal
proceedings brought by the company,
She further asserts that Henderson
agreed after the railroad case had beer
settled to secure a divorce from Min
ME Pellen and remarry Marie Hender-
son, which he has refused to do.
1t rs understood the case will be ap-
pealed on he ground that Mrs. Hen
derson was a party to the fraud by
which the first divorce was obtained
and cannot take advantage of her own
wrong, and that the divorce was
granted on evidence that was true and
not on falsehoods.
AS the matter now stands, Mrs. Ma
rie Henderson Is the legal wife of
Frank Henderson and he could be
prosecuted for bigamy.
