SENATOR McCUMBER
VISITS IN CITY
IS AFTER REELECTION AS
UNITED STATES SENATOR
Governor Hanna to Try Conclus,ons
With the Senator for the Toga
Race Will be Spirited

Oakes was honored Saturday by a
visit from United States Senator Nc
Cumber. He had come from q tour
of Sargent county and was headed for
Ellendale. He is touring the state by
automobile in the interest of his can
didacy for reelection, which comes
next yea-. Accompanying him were
his private secretary, r. w. .Farrar,
and his right hand politica, worker,
J. F. Shea.
The senator is now finishing his
third term as a representative from
North Dakota. He likes the job and
is going to ask the people to re-elect
him. He realizes his main opponent
will be our present governor, l.. b.
Hanna. This is not at all relished by
the senator, who has been political
ally Of the governor in the past.
The contest promises to be a warm
one. Both are resourceful and fit.
The ablest legislator is McCumber.
The working organization is Hanna's.
Will the people of the state recognize
worth or will they recognize ability
to form a machine through prestige
as governor?
1t looks like McCumber and Burdick
VS.. Hanna and Twichell in the next
campaign. What?

fell into melancholy. She sat every
day by the window. whence she could
see the tickle lord Of Castelnat's manor.
One morning he passed by in the
valley below. She sang to him. but
he never looked up. "Plus d'Espoir"
she cried and threw herself out Of the
window ON to the flags below, where
she was killed. The manor Of Martial
was known thenceforward us the Gus.

WAR-PEACE
John NJ. Will

Where carnal wars wild rampage run
In field of flower and dew,
Where honest toll once titled the soil,
And where the violets grew,
And the roses breath is stillcd in death
To make room for selfish gain,
And the wall Of grief brings no relief
To the misguided glories slain.
Where misguided honor calls for blood
To wash off some fancied stain,
1t can't be said the crowned heads
Are numbered among the slain.
But the sons of toll, called from the
soil,
Or sweet home and memories fond,
From shop and mine, are the one we
find;
Are the lives that are forced to re-
spond.
When rulers learn to count the cost
OF that leaden missiles trail,
Through fathers heart that savage
dart
"MOtherward" its course does sail;
And finds it rest in the innocent breast
OF babes. Then we trust they'll
awake
To the use of the pen in harmony when
The sword would be mistake.
When mans inhumanity to brother
man,
Will cease to be the rule,
When life's lesson is learned, in blood
stains earned,
In wars most costly school;
And happy lease to the dove Of
peace,
Will both love and friendship blend,
Then sweet brotherhood will be un-
derstood,
And strife be at an end.

daughter, Mary Bell, to Mr.. Al
bert c. Strand, on Saturday. the
tenth of July, nineteen hundred

a surprise to everybody, the intimate
friends of the parties even being in
the dark.

came well known few years ago in
being selected as the young lady from
this state to christcn the Battleship
North Dakota. Since taking her po-
sition as county superintendent of
schools three years ago, she has made
her mark in the educational circles Of
the state. She is a graduate of the
city and state schools at Glendale, as
well as of the state university She
was on the faculty of the Nj at Ell
lendale when friends urged her to
make the race for county superinten-
dent. which she won handily. As su-
pcrintcndcnt of schools she is consid-
cred at top Of the list.
The bridegroom has been raised in
the Ellendalc country. His people
lived southwest of that city. He has
been in Ellendale many years while
acquiring an education, bu, OF recent
years has been cashier of the Farm
ers National Bank. He is a quiet, in
dustrious young man.
The Times joins with their many
friends in extending congratulations

OBITUARY
(From our Glover correspondent)

(FfOm our 0lOVef COffeSpOn0ent1
Nile Bruce Payton was born At
Winterset, Madison County, Iowa,
Sept. 13, 1889. At the age of fifteen
he, with the rest Of the family,
moved to North Dakota, and lived on
the Howe place, west Of Glover. 1t
was while here in 1906 that Nile was
converted and Joined the church. It
was also while living here that the
mother was called to her eternal
home. Nile, being the oldest of the
children, tried to take her place rs
much rs possible. He was also At
this time q great comfort to his IA
ther. Not long after his mothers
death the family moved back to Iowa,
where they remained but few years.
They again moved to North Dakota,
where in 1910, under the preaching of
Rev. Farrand at Glover, Nile was
sanctified.
His entire Christian life was mark
ed by earnestness, faithfulness, and
loyalty to Christ. His chief ambition,
which he often mentioned in personal
talks, was to see people brought into
the Christian life. His testimonies
and prayers, which he so often gave,
and which we shall SO greatly miss,
were an inspiration and help to US all.
Nile was one of the charter men,
bers of the Epworth League and was
on the cabinet practically all of the
time. He held the Office of president
two years and was first vice presi-
dent up to within two months Of his
death.
All through the winter, even while
he was unable to be with the league
members, personally, his heart was
with them, and he sent his reports to
the business meetings and selected all
of the leaders for the devotional meet
ings. "He that is faithful unto the
last, the same shall receive a crown
of righteousness"
| Niles manner was somewhat quiet
yet deep and SO consistent was his life
that it demanded the deepest respect
from everyone.
Nile died in Rochester, Minn., July
2, 1915, at the age of Is years, 9
months and 10 days.
His last words were, II am going
to Jesus and to mamma" His death
was simply q promotion and a reali-
zation of the blessed promises that
they who endure to the end shall be
saved.
His funeral services were held at
DeSoto, Iowa, Sunday, July 4th. His
remains were laid to rest by the side
of his mother.
We shall all greatly miss this faith
full brother and we, as an Epworth
League, and community wish to ex-
tend our heartfelt sympathy to the be.
reaved family and hope that we may
be of some service in helping them tc
bear their sorrow.
Nile is survived by his father, step.

and Walter, and three sisters, Mrs

SLOT MACHINES COME AND
GO WITH LIGHTNING SPEED
Now They are in: Now They are Out;
And Now They Are In.

Attorney Griffiths and Sheriff Fro
man seem unable to determine the
status of nickle-in-the-slot machine.
One day it is a gambling device; the
next day it is a game of skill; and
the third day an innocent amusement.
One thing is certain and that is that
they come and go, like the wind, as
they listeth.
Last spring Attorney Grifiths and
Sheriff Froman ordered the slot ma
chimes out of business. The owners
in Caldwell and other places put them
out of business. One pool hall opera
tor at Nampa refused. He held that
the slot machine was permitted by the
city ordinances of Nampa. Monday
Messrs Griffiths and Froman went to
Nampa for the purpose of studying
the slot machine in its native ele
ments. They returned quite convinc-
ed that the slot machine was permits
sable Slot machines are now in oper
alton and will remain in operation
until the county attorney arrives at
a different state Of mind toward them.
