MIsIUDGED EACH OTHER

Ii was strange meeting at Tween
ty six Broadway" There met in
conference John D. Rockefeller, the
younger, now recognized as the di-
rect representative and successor of
the genius of the institution, and
Mother Jones, the Joan of Arc of
the miners of America. 1t was a
meeting which few of the present
generation, who know the extremes
which these two represent, ever
thought to see. OF the details of the
interview we are not told, but Mother
Jones came away saying that she had
misjudged Mr., Rockefeller, that she
aud others had DETAINED him and she
was sorry for it, Mr.. Rockefeller on
his part had already shown more Of a
tendency to softer judgment of his
opponents than he and his associates
had ever before. else the interview
would not have taken place. This is
but a beginning. The conference at
rs Broadway has set many on both
sides, the country over, to thinking
Both sides have been wrong in their
way of thinking and wrong in their
methods 1t was time for the lead
ers to reason together, and get each
as far as possible the others point of

The menu consisted of various
dishes of their native country. The

Sweden, and Denmark, entwined
with the American flag.
Lieutenant Governor Norbeck pre-
sided, and the speakers of the even
ing and their subjects were Senator
Lundly of Gregory county, "Scandi-
navian as a Citizen;" Senator Ur-
dahl, Senate and the House,"

KEEP PEACE AT HOME

This government would seem to
have plenty to do if it kept peace on
American soil. TO bring about such
peace blockade of Mexico would
soon starve the savage factions of
that country into submission. The
Mexican row which has been in prog
ress for two years is no nearer solu-
tion now than at the beginning of
hostilities, and will never end so long
as the beligerents are able to get any
thing to fight with. No danger Of
other countries furnishing the Mexi-
cans with war material. they have
use for all they can make or buy,
therefore it certainly is this country
which keeps up the guerilla warfare.
Build a blockade fence around Msxi-
co and in six months the factions
will be asking this country to estab-.
lish stable government for them

EUROPE, A LESSON

This country is supposed to be gain
ing lessons from the European war
incident to exposing the unprepared
ness of America if attacked by for
eign power. One fellow says it is
lack of battleship equipment, another
points to the value of submarines,
coast defenses are considered the
thing by coast cities, and aeroplanes
are pronounced by others as the prime
necessity. They all dodge the prob
lem OF moving troops within the
country, although this is the prime
weakness. The country needs good
roads, needs them up and down, both
coasts needs great highways clear
across the country, east and vest and
north and south, and when the coun-
try has substantial roads over which
troops can be moved with rapidity,
much will have been accomplished
towards destroying invading armies.

CoUNTRY's DEBT TO PRESIDENT

What might have happened during
these months of trial, what might
yet happen during the terrible months
still before the nation, if the head of
the nation We're a man of inferior
intellect. or of character or tenn
permanent less representative of the
best Ideals and the soberest thought
OF the country, is a consideration
that may we'll give us pause when we
are again confronted with the task of
choosing a man for the chief magi-
stracy of the republic. 1t is a trite
and commonplace saying that the
American presidency is the greatest
office IN the world. Whether this be
literally true or not, there is no act
OF election performed by any people
In the world, or by any representa-
tive body, that compares, in point of
lncalcuable possibilities involved in
II, with the election of a president of
the United States. He is chosen for
liked term of four years, and, no
matter what strange terms of fate
may occur within that period, it is
upon him that the guidance of the
nations policy will depend, in de-
gree far transcending any formal def
nation of his constitutional powers.
In times OF crisis the difference be-
tween weak or rash or wrong
headed man and strong, prudent,
right minded man in the presidency
may mean all the difference between
welfare and disaster, between glory
and dishonor, for the nation. And
no man can foresee when that crisis
is to come, nor what might be its
nature.

NORTHWESTERN BUYS RAILS

The Wall Street News of Chicago.
contains an item which tells of the
purchase by the Northwestern rail
road of q ,0G0 tons Of steel rails. This
is pointed out as an indication that
the road intends to commence work
soon on the proposed extension from
Belle Fourche to Miles City. In this
connection, attention is called to the
fact that 81, 900 tons of rails is about
the amount required to make this
extension. The distance is about
200 miles and figuring 1876 tons of rails
20 the mile, allowing for the con
strnction of the necessary siding and
spurs, the amount mentioned would
complete the extension.
There is no doubt of activity 10
railroad circles, owing in part to the
increase in freight and passenger
rates which go into effect March /,
and this activity is bound to show
itself in the building of extensions
which heretofore have been consid-
cred. 1t is a we'll known fact that
the stretch of country between Belle
Fourche and the milwaukee, railroad
on the north, through the eastern
part of Montana and the western part
of South Dakota, is the largest area
in the United States without railroad
service.

Argus-Leader: Direct legislation
in this state received an awful slap
when by vote of 33 to 9 the state
senate voted to repeal law enacted
by an overwhelming vote of the peo-
pie in 1912, and again sustained in
the election of 1914. The strangest
thing about it is that the chief pres
