AUTO OVERTURNED;
Was BADLY INJURED


Stratford, S. D., March 24.-George
Knox, a prominent farmer residing a
short distance south of here, was
quite badly injured when his automo.
bile skidded and overturned with him
throwing him out and rolling over him
The mans tongue was nearly severed,
and his mouth, nose and face in gen
eral were very severely lacerated. 1t
is not thought, however, that he has
suffered any internal injuries.
The accident occurred as he was
coming down slight hill. Upon
reaching the bottom he applied the
brakes, noticing that the ground was
very rough. 1t is thought that the rear
part of the car skidded around, caus-
ing the machine to 0verturn and roll
down the side of the road.

6lll new DEPOT

Ellendale, n. ID, March 24.-Rumor
Is strong that the Milwaukee road
will commence work. June on a new
brick depot at this point. The report
that the Milwaukee has bought the
gulf road from Port Arthur to KAN
sas City and, the 1surmise that the
Midland and Milwaukee are one and
the same leads people to think that
lEllendale will soon be on an impor-
taut north and south line to tue Gulf
of Mexico. Anyhow, the new depot at
this point is much needed and will
be highly appreciated by patrons Of
the road here.

Valley City, N. D., March 24.-The
furniture and electrical equipment
was moved this week into the west
end of the new depot, which is com.
pleted. If fthe balance when finished
is as nice as the part now occupied
the people Of the city will have no
ground for faultfinding. The interi-
or is finished in hardwood through
out, with maple floors. There are
toilet rooms and all of the modern
conveniences, including steam heat.
The ticket window is guarded with
brace bars of the latest bank style
and Agent Frank Kramer appears to
splendid advantage through the
frame.

DEM0cRATIc TRIBUTE no SENATOR DU POM


n EMOCRATIC members Of Congress have paid a
- high tribute to Senator Henry A. dupont, Of this
State. They have incorporated in their bill to provide
for the raising Of volunteer troops In event of
all the salient features the bill he introduced almost
TWO years ago. His bill never passed, despite
the fact that It approved heartily by many Of the
most distinguished military in the country and
received widespread and favorable mention in the
public press.
The Democratic redraft of the DUPONT bill was in
troduced in the House by Representative Hay, Of
Virginia chairman Of the Military Affairs Committee
il is at all unlikely the Democratic majority in
the Senate Will attempt to put it through that body
next week.
Senator suPont has realized for years that the
existing under which volunteers may be organized
is defective In many particulars L. emer-
gency measure, passed on April %, 1898, only
three days before the United States declared war
against Spain To military It's defects plain
ly manifest upon its face. They also are revealed in
the confusion, delay and dissatisfaction which attended
the organization of volunteer forces to take part in
that struggle and by supplementary legislation largely
Of a makeshift nature
Most military Of experience agreed with sena-
tor duPc e. when in the course Of a speech crlti-
cizng the existing law he said that have upon
the statute books volunteer act which only has
been tried and found wanting but which is now at
variance with many OF the provisions Of subsequent
acts relating to the regular army and the militia. Nor
did such military Of experience fail to give ap
prova to his statement that the present govern
ing the raising and equpSng Of volunteers in time
0f not only is confused. but absolutely made
Quate It pointed out by Senator DUPONT that
Of the most glaring and vital defects Of the existing
law is that provision is made for depot stan Of
ncers OF the ordnance. quartermaster commlssary
and other departments whose services would be nds
pensabe in connection with providing an forwarding
the necessary ammunition, subsistence and all other
to the forces in the e'd He also asserted that
the existing sta organizations the regular army
are inadequate in numbers TO perform that duty in
time Of sufficient number of volunteer STAFF OH
GERS to do duty at the supply depots is only
portant but absolutely essential Comment also was
made by him upon the fact that the law now in force
makes provision for selecting officers TO command
volunteer troops and leaves in confusion question
whether such selections shall be made by the Pres
dent by the governors OF the several States.
II TO all those defects and to provide an
easy and syrtematic method of raising and offering
volunteers that Senator DUPONT and introduced
almost two years ago The bill that now has been ac-
cepted almost in its entirety by the Democratic ma

PRISONERS AS FARMERS.

TIE suggestion Of the trustees Of New Castle county
workhouse that they be permitted TO purchase
farm OF at least 100 the workhouse is
that is worthy OF serious consideration by the public
II is in line with modern penology which looks to
the conservation the health Of prisoners and their
ultimate reformation
1t has been found that one of the best thngs for
prisoners is healthfu and congsnial outdoor employ
ment Penal farms being established all over
the country.
Our workhouse trustees already lave leased ninety
Of land and to that extent they have met the
situation There many persons who think, how
ever that county rich and az prosperous as
is New Castle county should not be a renter but an
owner. and that there will be a time more fav-
orable than the present the purchase the land
needed TO give to the prisoners heatheul employment
and to supply fresh fruits and vegetables to the n-
stitution to which they have been committed The pre-
yailing opinion to be that such a course would
be both sensible and economical
The financial statement made 70 the Levy Court by
the workhouse trustees and which already has been
published in columns makes gratifying showing
II reveals that the institution Is administered IN such
a way that It is OF public profit rather than
of public expense The receipts for the last year In
cludng the balance hand of S9O24S5 at the close
Of 1912, amounted to s75023.57 The expenditures in
the year just closed aggregated s57760.5S One OF
the large in the list Of expenditures is $4,000
FOR the redemption of bonds making total Sl1s 900
that has paid bond redemption fund from
bonded Indebtedness of $4,000 outstanding the issue
being upon four per cent basis. The likelihood is
that If the farm purchase project be put through

an better showing than they have made in the
past

(4)LONEL THEODORE TOWNSEND. who has been
- member Of the Town Council Of Milford since
1851 aud to whom much OF the credit Is due many
Of the public Improvements which have made Milford
one Of the most progressive towns down the State.
has been defeated for reelection by tho resctonary
elements in the community. The policy of the new
Town Courci, announced by its president that no
further public Improvements shall be made until the
Indebtedness due those already maee has been paid
In other words the policy Of municipal progress of
which Colonel Townsend such active aggres-
sve and effective exponent has been superseded by
which, II persisted in. will make for municipal retro
gression.
No municipality stands STILL 1t either goes for
ward or backward. Nor prosperous municipalities
afraid Of debt that is honestly and purposefully
tracted II is statistical fact that those communi-
ties most prosperous which do not hesitate to go
into debt for the public improvements actually needed
TO promote their welfare. Those seemingly
recognized by Colonel Townsend for years he has
stood at the head of the progressive in his
home town.
Sooner later the voters of Milford will be forced
to admit that his policy of progress the right
and that reactionary influences should been
permitted TO deprive the community OF services Of
such a right minded and patriotic citizen.
