HAS SENSE OF HONOR.

Denver Wood, a convict serving -
years, under a sentence for murder,
was permitted by Governor Hanna to
go unattended to Motana to be at
the bedside Of his dying mother. He
made the trip alone and returned after
the funeral, making the two mile trip
to the penitentiary after dark and
alone, rel1orting there according to
the terms of his release. This is TAX
en- as another evidence that even men
convicted of crime have a sense of
honor and il given chance they will
prove loyal to that sense regardless
of the temptations to do otherwise.
1t was kind act on the part OF Gov
ernor Hanna and Warden Talcot to
allow this man to visit the bedside
of a dying mother and brings out a
side to the character of ''the friend
less" that is not usually appreciated
by those not familiar with criminals.

next month at the polls, he will show
heavy vote and a large number of
supporters. During the past three
months, the state banking board sup
ervised a careful auditing of the books
of the Register Of Deeds, extending
over considerable period of time.
This audit showed that Mr.. Roe's
books and accounts were in a splen-

business affairs were kept in shape
right up to the minute, and that he
ranks high among the county officials
of the state ...
Whether or not the voters OF the

host OF friends in Barnes county make
it more than probable that he will Sc

Barnes county is big county. Dur
ing the course Of every IL months, the
auditor handles the distribution of
more than a half million dorrals of
the peoples. money. This is not a
mere matter Of routine work, but calls
for the most scrutiniizng care and
watchfulness for every detail of the
business. 1t is true that the routine
work Of the Office can be handled by
any fairly competent bookkeeper, but
the thousand and one questions which
arise daily to be referred to him for
answer or decision, the watchfulness
which must be used in spending the
peoples funds, the small legal ques.
tons which must be decided from time
to time, have never been turned over
to a better man than Mr.. Nelson, since
Barnes county was organized.
It is not possible under our pres
ent system to keep the office OF au'
ditor out Of politics, but we wish it
were. Here is one place where eff.
cheney, honesty and attention to the
duties of the Office should count, with
out regard to party, but regardless of
this, The Times Record feels confident
that the urinary results will prove
that confidence in Mr.. Nelson's ad-
ministration not measured either by
party or faction.

PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT.
Pneumonia,

The cough Of pneumonia, says
DR.. L. f.. Bowers in the New
York Tribune, is not wise nor
eNpedient to stop before it has
done what it started to do-that
is, to help eject from the lungs
the billions Of nneumocOcci and
other germs that cause pneu-
lnonia and also the germ prod
ucts that are filling the lung
cells. Any attempt to stop this
cough may result. first and fore
most. in locking up the secre-
tons and. next, in confusing
the symptoms. Skillful, prompt
action is necessary in this dan
gerO,ls disease. There is no
place here for the amateur and
his "cures." In pneumonia it is
necessary to do something, and
do it quickly, or pneumonia will
do it first. The main thing is to
.equalize the circulation. keep up
the strength and. if unable to
abort the disease, prepare the
patient for the crisis. Don't try
cough remedies" in pneumo-
mia unless it should be on your
self and you don't care much
what happens to you.

COMMUNITY COMPETITION.

Are you engaged in business?
If you are, you know the meaning of
competition. You know what it means
to have men in the same line of bust
ness seeking out the trade and traffic
you desire to secure.
This is an age of competitions; an
age Of keen competition and it is get
ting keener. Business houses are con-
tinually seeking up and down the high
ways and byways for men who can
devoise and execute ways and means
of producing more business.
And as there is a competition be-
there competition between commune
ties, and quite as keen too. Cities
and towns are APPLYING to their deve-
lopment the same principles that sue
cessful business houses are applying
to theirs.
AS the conditions of any business
in a given community is more or less
generally more than less-measured
by the general conditions in that COM
munity, community competition be-
comes a personal, and a vital matter
to you.
Therefore, you as business man
cannot afford not to join with your
business competitors in meeting the
competition your community is exper-
fencing with other communities.
The local Commercial Club is the
means through which community com.
petition is met. Every live active com
munity must work through it's organi-
cation and commercial club is, there
fore, a modern necessity for the city
that wishes to grow and develop.

Companion of Captain Scott Tells
of Dramatic Moments on

naval officer with the rank of commander.
arrived Yesterday on the Oceanic. He is
10 make a lecture tour of two months In
this country.
Despite the suffering and exhaustion
endured during his long fight with polar
Ice. Commander Evans did not look day
older than his twenty-nine years. He In
genuously minimized the hardships he had
been through and expressed wonder that
there could be any particular interest In
his Antarctic diary.
He is FIVE feet eight inches in height,
sturdy. of build and of pleasing and i'm
pressive personality. He talked rapidly
and forcefully. his smooth-shaven face
and blue eyes lighting up occasionally
with a smile. When informed that his
first lecture in this city would be on st.
Patrick's Day. he confessed 10 having
Irish ancestry, and hoped that the occa-
sion would bring him luck.
The young officer never hestated for
an answer. He baked when references
ferring to talk only of Scott and the men
of the expedition to which he himself was
attached.
Commander Evans sat on the edge Of
the bed in his stateroom and read from
his diary. pausing only when some dra-
matte sentence provoked question.
He had we'll recovered from the suffer
ing endured in the frozen wastes Of the
Antarctic, and could recall narrowing In
cidents in a most casual way. But there
was a ring of sorrow IN his voice when
ever he mentioned Scott. He spoke feel
ingly of Cream and LASTLY. who refused
TO leave him when he fell Ill Of scurvy
and begged them to go on and save them
selves.

he said "he told me to return for him
I'm about a year. We had prepared a
great celebration for the meeting. The
ship was decorated with bunting. and a
banquet was prepared in the saloon.
Soon after his arrival yesterday Com
mander Evans went TO Washington.
where he will be the guest Of Sir CECIL
