New York, Aug. 3.-On their way to
Liverpool to enlist in the British army
Robert, Frank and George Morley ar
rived here today after a 1858 mile
ride by motorcycle from Saskatoon,
Can. Their motorcycle was equipped
with side saddle and carried a tent
and stove besides the clothing Of the
riders. They followed the old Yellow.

to aid cripples in the rear ranks,
which brought forth burst of ap.
plause.
He said that the nation was contin-
ually moving forward, that while there
might be periods Of reaction, there
we're greater strides which placed us
further along on the highway of prog
ress. He spoke of the Declaration of
Independence, the compact of the Pill
grim Fathers, the signing of the
Magma Charta, and, still further back
the red blotch on the block where
King Charles lost his head, as mark
ing definite periods of progress, and
that the farmers of North Dakota were
fighting for the same principles they
fought for. At Valley Forge, in rags
and freezing, in the Civil war, in ev-
cry period, our progenitors fought for
liberty, equity, justice, freedom for
every mana platform as broad as
human liberty-anything less is slav-
cry. And these questions are pertin-
ent to the fight for free markets. The
speaker said the evils which afflict are
due to corruption in high places, al
though he proclaimed that he was not
preaching the gospel of despair. Later
in the afternoon he amplified this by
saying that he believed that the Amer
ican nation would become as perfect
an example of democratic government
as finite mind could conceive.
While on the subject Of corruption
in high places he said the three con-
gressmen from North Dakota were
tried and true, none better, and that
We had one good senator A voice
from the audience called Which
one?" and quick as fash came the
answer, to roar of applause, There's
no need to ask that" He said our
government could never be overcome
by force of arms, but by the represen-
tative who betrayed his trust, the
greatest traitor a country produces.
The senator stated that he had for
many years been digging at the facts
regarding organized corruption and
that our progress-or retrogression-
was divided into three periods. For IS
or 80 years following the Revolution
our business was handled by individ.
uals or partnerships. Prices were
equitable and there was no corruption.

tons marketing was equally important
with production, but the marketing end
was afflicted with what he would di-
agnose as the gambling evil. He said
that when a surgeon found malig-
nant condition existing he was forced
to use the knife, and advised the
farmers to use the knife on the gamb-
ling evil in the markets of the world.
He said that the farmers of the north
west by their interest showed their
practical endorsement of the Equity.
Mr.. Platou was in excellent fettle and
the applause showed that his remarks
suited the temper of the audiece.
While waiting for Senator LaFol-
lette to appear S. H. Greeley told the
audience how the chambers of COM
merce manipulated the markets, how
they robbed the farmers by false
grades, by short weights, by storage
charges and the other devices Of the
game. He told how, by war rumors
they forced the price of the wheat for
which Dakota farmers had been paid
zoe, up to $167, while the suckers"
who were playing the game of margins
were fleeced at every seesaw. He
paid his compliments to the Sub
sidized" press, naming practically
every paper Of Minneapolis and the
Dakotas, and to what he called the
Hanna machine" In closing he said
that until the farmers by their ballot
wiped out these conditions the women
would work from daylight to dark and
the children would be obliged to FOL-
low the plow. The continual applause
indicated that the audience was in &C.
cord with his words.
Congressman Young then briefly
introduced Senator LaFollette. Witt
his deep, resonant voice, the speaker
was easily heard in all parts of the
auditorium. He said that the farmers
of the northwest have new visions Of
the future, that they knew that
knowledge alone doesn't win battles,
that they know they must organize
to oppose the organized forces who are
fighting the efforts Of the farmers
who are fighting for themselves the
battle for honest markets and the
freedom Of the farm He said it was
NO place for weaklings, because the
Equity forces were too busy fighting

WARSAW IS

London, Aug. o. Austro-G Germans
continue to advance in the eastern
battle front with success at the ex-
tremities including the occupation Of
Mitau in the north, and further prog
ress in southeastern Poland. The sit
uation before Warsaw fortresses re-
mains unchanged.
Additional details have reached Lon
don concerning the abandonment Of
the city, but apparently the time has
not come for the evacuation. The
country southeast of Warsaw is now
nearing the state of investment, &C
cording to a Berlin. report. The Rus
SLAMS who have had to abandon the
railroads are fighting desperately in
their attempt to check Field Marshal
Won Mackensen, whose movement
threatens the Russian center.
According to a Petrograd report the
Russian and English ambassadors are
anxious to brand as unfOunded the
recurrent report that the Russian
people are disgruntled at the story
coming from the West concerning the
success of the Austro.German ad-
vances.

made two arrests for violating the

all the good citizens of the .ity, If it
is to be taken as an indication of an
intention on the part of the police and
the city authorities to strictly an'!
impartially enforce the Sunday laws.
But if it is spasmodic and only &
partial enforcement, then | do no.

al. The Sunday laws, like all laws,
should be fairly and justly enforced

months ago that the butcher shops
were to close. Every business house
interdicted by the Sunday laws should
also close. | sincerely hope that the
city officials will be consistent in this
matter"

TRESPASSING ON
RAILROAD PROPERTY
STATISTICS SHOW THAT MAJOR.
lTY OF DEATHS FROM ACcl-
DENTS DUE TO THIS CAUSE.

Statistics show that on an average
10000 persons are killed and injured
each year on the railroads of the I'M
tied States by reason of the fact that
they are trespassing on railroad pro-
perty. In contrast with this list OF
casualties, it is shown that only one
passengers out of every 7,2l9,S5S hand
led by the railroads in the year 1913
met death or serious injury in train
collisions or derailments. In all &C.
cidents, including those caused by
personal incaution or recklessness,
such as trying to board or get off
moving trains, etc.. only one passeng.
er in 3,357,143 was killed or injured.
In the great majority of cases of
trespassers, the railroads are not
responsible. No railway management
wants to kill anyone. It's constant
effort is to prevent casualties of all
kinds. The man at the throttle shud-
ders at the thought of killing or
manning human being. The strain
upon his nerves and mind and heart
when he rounds a curve and finds a
man, woman or. child on the track in
danger Of being crushed to death is
terrific and Undesirable.

Pitts charged with the killing of Nick.
Sharp near Mt. Pleasant on March r
last. p S. Chandler, counsel for the
defense, made a lengthy resume OF
the whole body of evidence and
sought to show cause for a setting
aside of the verdict and the granting.
of new trial to the defendant, He
sought to show that the court erred
in several places in the admissibility
of evidence, and that the charge could
have misled the jury as to the defini-
ton of involuntary manslaughter for
which the defendant had been found
guilty by the jury. He contended
that inasmuch as the defendant had
been acquitted of the greater offenses
that had been charged against him.
that the verdict should be set aside,
Judge Turner in overruling the mo-
tion stated that he was unable to seq
any cause why the defendant should
not be satisfied with the verdict He
stated it as his opinion that the de-
PENDANT was very fortunate in the
crime for which he was convicted, in
as much as in the opinion of the Judge
the charge of voluntary manslaughter
had been fully sustained. He review
ed the evidence brought out in the
trial, and used this in his contention
He emphasized the point that Sharp
was unarmed at the time of the kill
ing, and that he had approached Pitts
with every evidence Of friendliness.
and that the latter had not used good
judgment in losing control of him

The judge also called attention to
the fact that the defendant was un-
armed, or at least that there was a
strong probability that he was unarm-
ed, before the two men nd a scufie

PENDANT allowed his feelings to run
away from him. That he was In the
heat of anger and that this and other
causes probably contributed to the
fact that he thought he was in bodily
danger He concluded by overruling
the motion, and sentencing Pitts to
an intermediate sentence OF from one
to five years in the penitentiary.
An appeal was taken to the next
term OF the supreme court by counsel
for the defendant, and Judge Turner
granted him until July II for the
preparation of the bill of exceptions.

NEARLY FOUR TO ONE
FORBOND ISSUE, THE
SPRING HILL RESULT
BY VOTE OF THlRTY-FoUR TO
TWELVE PROPOSED ISSUE is
APPROVED.
FOR IMPROVEMENT OF STREETS
Expected Opposition Failed to DeveI.
op and the Result Was a Foreaone
Conclusion When Polls Opened
Mayor Hughes Is Pleased.

In the election at Spring Hill on
Saturday the bond issue of $4,000 for
the repairing and improving of the
streets and to lay sidewalks was ap-
proved. The vote was:
For bonds ...... $50. ........34
Against Bonds ...... .... go. ~
Majority for bonds $3.50. $50. ~
The bond issue lacked just two
votes of receiving three-fourths of
the total number cast. The opposi-
tion that had been expected failed to
materialize and it was evident soon
after the polls opened that the propo,
sition would carry with votes to
spare.
The issue was submitted to the PEG.
pie by an ordinance of the board Of
mayor and aldermen passed on June
IL, under the provisions of the char.
ter of the town. Mayor Hughes and
the city administration were actively
behind the proposition.
Just as soon as the bonds are sold
the work of improving the streets
will commence. The bonds will run
for five, ten, fifteen and twenty years,
and will bear not to exceed six per
cent interest.
Mayor Hughes expressed himself
as very much gratified at the result
of the election, declaring that it
meant much for the appearance and
advancement of the town.
