The aged mother of Arne

southeast Of Willow City, died
last week as the result of in
juries sustained in falling
down the stairs. She had gone
to her room to retire and APP

the stairway. She lived only a
few hours after the accident.
Deceased was So years of age,
but, despite her advanced
years, was in good health.
The Methodist church had a
narrow escape from a serious
conflagration during service
last Sunday. It seems that
one Of the parishioners had
left his overcoat hanging in
the lobby and when he return
ed after services all there was
left of the garment was a small
heap of ashes on the floor. A
lighted pipe placed in the
pocket appears to have been
the cause of the fire, which for
tunately, proved to be little
more than a joke.

great deal towards reducing

Those Increased r. r. Earnings.

Gradually the real facts are leaking
out regarding the increase in railroad
earnings and the congestion of freight
on the Atlantic seabcard. Increased
railroad earnings have been pointed to
as an evidence of permanent general
prosperity. Here are some of the
facts that account for the increase:
Demand for vessels to carry
war supplies to Europe has caused
large portion Of the ships for
merIy engaged in coastwise trade
to be withdrawn, SO that much
freight that would normally go by
water now goes by rail.
Slides in the Panama Canal
made it necessary to ship coast
forecast freight overland. High
water rates due to the demand for
transportation to Europe made
shipment around the Horn i'm
practicable.
The abnormaIy large grain
crops produced because Of the
prospect Of war prices, gave the
railroads a largely increased
traffic from the Middle West to
Atlantic ports.
Increased freight rates have
been allowed by the Interstate
Commerce Commission in certain
territory.
1t will be observed that all these
factors, except the slight increase in
freight rates. depend upon the con-
tinuance Of the war and the Oversee
demand for our products. 1t is diff
cult to understand how any far-sight-
ed business man can interpret in
creased railroad earnings as a sign Of
prosperity any more permanent than
the temporary and abnormal condi-
tions in which they have their origin

President Wilson says there is moth
ing in either the doctrine Of free trade
or that Of protection. We are willing
he should speak for the doctrine of
free trade but there are others vastly
more competent to speak for the doc
trine Of protection. We shall entirely
agree that there is nothing in free
trade. We have proven it by sad ex-
perience. But as for protection
there is much in it. There is in 1t, for
instance. full dinner pail for the la
borer, busy factories for industrial
investors, plenty Of business for retail

The First Delegates.

The first delegates chosen to the
Republican national convention are
those from Florida, where the state
convention was held on Feb. 9. Eight
uninstructed delegates were selected
and the convention adopted this reso-
luton:
I'VE look with confidence to the
Republican national convention to
nominate a presidential candidate
that will inspire and unity all
patriotic citizens who believe in
protection, prosperity and pre-
paredness and who will secure for
all Americans at home and abroad
protection for life and property"
The delegation from Florida is said
to be made up Of representatives and
responsible Republicans who may be
depended upon to find, in the field of
candidates, exactly the kind Of man
for a leader whom their resolution
describes. In fact, that is the kind of
man whom all Republicans every
where wish to put at the head Of the
ticket this year. No other kind Of a
man can possibly win a nomination in
a convention such as we shall have
this year. 1t will be a convention free
from acrimony and scandal. It will be
animated by sincere and patriotic
purposes shared alike by the first
delegates to be chosen and by the last
as we'll.
The big thing to be kept before all
those who have hand in organization
and detail of this convention is that
ret only must candidates and platforI..
be big and true blue. but they must
be beyond suspicion. Anti-Demo-
cratic factions can be united and
sweep the country for Republican
principles and that character which
commands entire respect abroad, if
neither faction is guilty of the folly of
trying to put something over" on the
faction KNOWS is good must be
abandoned if the other faction or any
considerable portion, is suspicious.
Ready made garments must be kept
off this years counter
Most Of us ought to be wise enough
to let a word suffice.
