only political point on which the two can
dldates could conJure up a difference.
The republicans, nevertheless. were wait
ing watchfully, And when Mr. Wilson
enacted the Adamson eight-hour law, a
law which prevented the strike of train

pay skilled labor for eight hours work

thing was done sufficiently vital to pro-
duce division in the general public
the republicans crying "Eureka! re-
joiced in every state of the union.
1t is evident, however, that Mr.. Wilson
is determined that that law shall not be
an issue For in his various -defenses,
he has proffered the suggestion that the
Adamson bill is only temporary in char
acter and that the completion in Decem-
Der of the entire legislative programme
will rectify any inequity which now
seems to exist. AS to whether or not that

satisfaction relative to that bill which
does exist. remains to be seen.
NO TARIFF ISSUE
In his determination that the tariff shall
not be an issue, Mr.. Wilson, first of all,
arranged for the creation of a nonparti-
san tariff commission; and then assailed
the achievement Ill tdTln IeSlSldtlOn OF
both parties by declaring, in effect. that
that which had been done was done
without concrete knowledge of the
facts. He declared that tariff theory was
not satisfactory to him, but that he want

facts.
The democratic theory of a tariff for

demand. The supply of any given prod

result. have been constructed on fact or
knowledge.
The republican theory of protection is
based not on supply and consumption,
but on the relative cost of production
at home and abroad. The determination
of the cost of production is entirely spec
ulative. 1t is a fact that one company
in the Birmingham district can produce
pig iron cheaper than another company.
The cost of production in the Gary fur
naces is much lower than in the furnaces
of West Virginia. AS a result, the re-
publican theory-that on which tariff
commission is to be constructed-is neces-
sarily speculative and one in the treat

remains to be seen whether or not Mr.
Wilson'S plan of battle is wiser than any
other plan which his friends might have
suggested.
He is before the public as the man VINO
has kept the nation at peace when war
in other countries ragged relentlessly. lie
is the man who has guided Congress in
the enactment of more progressive leg
islation of the Everlasting variety, OF
the variety which nets more for the gen
eral public than has ever before in
similar length of time been enacted And
he is the man whose administration has
been featured by an American prosperity
never before dreamed.
Crises in international affairs have not
been made impossible Of recurrence.
Then why change, the voters may ask,
in the moment when a tried and trust
worthy hand may be essential to the
continued peace and happiness of the
nation? Why change-especially in view
of the fact that the revised fundamental
principles of the two parties are prac-
tically identical?
Perhaps Wilson'S game is the wisest
after all.

CRUSHED UNDER
HIS OWN WAGON
Adrian Pepin Falls From
Load of Lumber and is
Killed by Wheels

II think we are now safely over
the worst of our road" remarked
Adrian pepin, aged %, to his COM
panions Sunday morning at the
Whltcomb place 80 miles south of
Malta, u few minutes before his life
was crushed out under the wheels
of his wagon.
He was driving a team and in
company with two other rigs were
on their way from Malta to Regina,
30 miles south, when in decending
a steep hill, the barrel on which he
was sitting rolled over throwing him
under the horses heels and causing
them TO run away. The wheels pas
sed over his chest crushing his life
out instantly. The body was brought
to Malta by coroner r. V. Tucker
and is held at the Tucker under
taking parlors awaiting instructions
from relatives at St. Annette, Quebec
= Pepin came to Regina about three
years ago and located on a home
stead. During the fall he has been
hauling grain to the elevators at
Malta with a four hourse outfit and
returning with lumber and coal. In
many places the road is very rough
and dangerous. The barrel on
which he was sitting had been brac-
ed in position with a sack of oats,
but the steep hill and rough road
threw ii out OF position.

The many friends of Arthur s.

Mr.. Hanscom is one of the popu-

sided here for a number of years,
and his friends in Montana are num-
bered by his acQuaintances. He was
with the reclamation service for a
number of years and for the past
two or three years has been city Ell
gineer and superintendent of the
water works. He is one Of those
fellows who makes friends of all and
never loses one. While the young
lady is a stranger to the people of
Malta there is no doubt but that Mr..
Hanecom has chosen wisely and she
is heartily welcomed to the city.
They have comm enced housekeep-

where they will be at home to their
friends. The Enterprise joins in ex-

SHERIDAN COUNTY TO BE
NEW JUDICIAL. DISTRICT

Word has been received from
reliable authority that Sheridan
county will in short time, be de
clared a Judicial district in itself,
Valley and Phillips counties to be
cut off and Judge Hurry who was
recently elected Judge of the Seven
teenth Judicial District, will have
his duties lessened by over one-half.
The people of Sheridan County
have long felt the need of this
change and doubtless the other two
counties will too, as there always
has been too much work for one
judge, in this district and frequently
judicial assistance has hren called,
in from other districts.
Statistics show that 81 1a per cent
Of the official business Of the district
has been done in Sheridan County,
whereas, if judge had been in con-
slant sitting at the court house
many civil cases could have been
disposed with with much less liti-
ident of Valley county.-Antelope
AS soon as Governor Sam V.
Stewart qualities at the first OF the
year the change will take place and
judge appointed for this district,
as judge elect John Hurry is resi-
Independent.

We Need a County Agent
Subject Being Agated In Phillips County--S Law Pro-
vides for Employing County Agent--Woud Be
of Great Benefit To Farmers

There is more or less agitation at
the present time in this county for
the hiring OF the county agent or ag-
riculturist Possibly some Of our
readers do not know what the
county agent is and what he does
He is first of all man who is
school. He must also have expert
ence in practical work in the field
and be familiar with the agricul-
tural studies and research in Mon
tana and the publications put out
by the experiment. station. He knows
where to go for needed information
and is officially connected with its
source
The county agent is an agent for
the farmers OF the county in any
movements they wish to start such
as gathering information from all
the farmers OF the county and max
ing it available for the use of each
and every farmer; operating with
farmers to make field studies and
observations; assisting in securing
data upon the cost of producing the
staple crops; endeavoring to i'm
prove the quality of crops by locat-
ing the best seed and assist in pro-
noting the use of better seed; i'm
proving the livestock by means of
breeders associations; organizing
cow-testing associations for the i'm
provements of dairy herds; promot
ing social, educational and business
corporations among farmers.
These are only d few OF the duties
OF the county agent. In a new coun-
try like this where there is 50 much
development yet to take place and
experimenting to do in order to find
the most productive and profitable
crops such a man is infinitely more
necessary than in the older settled
communities. Nevertheless. you
find these county agents all through
the eastern states and they have
been a great help in those sections
in assisting in finding better meth
DDS OF farming and in improving
live stock and in a thousand other
ways.
