POLITICS AND
. BUSINESS MUST
NOT Be MIXED
Government of United States
Cannot Be Properly Conducted
in This Way, Says Hughes.
SPEAKS OF NEED
FOR PREPAREDNESS
Commissions of Investigation
Must Be Dominated by Good
Sense, Claims Nominee.

San Francisco, Aug. 19.-Charles e.
Hughes today told audiences here and
in Oakland that the government Of
the United States could not be prop
erly conducted by mixing politics
with business, with preparedness,
with the maintenance of national
honor or other administrative func'
tions of government.
when you start out to be military,
be military and not political" Mr..
Hughes told an audience in Oakland.
He told the audience that he favored
fostering honorable Americans
achieving in business and adjusting
the findings of facts and acting upon
them. ...@.
"You can break down your poster
ity by, prostituting yourselves in the
face of an unjust popular demand"
Mr.. Hughes said. Il shall never do
that. And the unjust popular demand
is only unjust because the facts are
not understood. The only thing am
afraid of in this country is the dark.
Some people live in dreamland," !"
Mr.. Hughes continued, in speaking of
the need for military and commercial
preparedness. "They do not under
stand the actual world we live. in
The, nominee spoke 'ofafederai commits
sions to investigate various situations.
"We have developed commissions
of investigation" he haid. "Commis-
sions are nothing except as they are
dominated by good sense, inspired by
loyalty and patriotism and controlled
by the facts and the justice of the
case before them.
I'VE cannot, 60 forward unless we
realize ourselves nationally. We must
more than ever understand that ma
tional powers are to be exercised and
that national prosperity can be gained
only by the potency of our national
organization"
Mr. Hughes declared himself oppos-
ed to invisible government.

Headquarters of Mr.. Hannaford

Some gossip has it that the office
held by Colonel Clough might be abol

were favorably adjusted by the fam.

Another would provide that coun-
ty may by two-thirds vote increase

for no other purpose whatever.
The third provides that the legis-

The fourth gives the legislature the
power to provide for the formation
of rural agricultural credit associa-

BOARD ASKS
FOR BIDS ON
e EQUIP PM |MI||ENT
County Commissioners Move to
Sink More Money in Graders
and Engines.
LESS WORK THIS YEAR
WITH MORE EQUIPMENT
If Machinery Is Purchased, Nc
Appropriation Will Be Left
to Work With.

Despite the fact that less work is
being done this year on the roads Of
the county with more equipment, the
board of county commissioners has
advertised for bids on more machin-
cry. @
If all of the proposed equipment is
purchased it will entail an expense Of
$4,000, leaving little in the good
rOssds Tudd RIt4 Which to utilize the
present machinery, valued at $17,50O,
or the new machinery. r
Bids Advertised For.
The board has advertised for bids
on an elevator road grader, one or
more engines and road leveler. The
grader will cost $1,000 and up, the
engines $4,000 each and the leveler
about $1,10O. If the two engines as
proposed are purchased the cost will
therefore be from $4,000 to 100000.
Already contract work amounting
to some $4,000 has been let. After
this is paid and the machinery paid
for it will not leave enough in the
good roads fund to operate the equip
ment on.
Less Work This Year.
A new engine and two graders were
purchased this spring for $4,000, but
with the extra equipment less work
has been done. Last year 250 miles
of road was improved; this year to
date only SO miles has been.
Good roads boosters are unanimous
in declaring that before more equip
ment is purchased a system should
be evolved whereby the present ma.
chinery can he used effectively. All
of the engines and graders are now
punched; when one is stopped by a
stone they are all tied up.
1t is costing the county now about
$1,4O0 month to run the outfit, 81, ,250
for labor and the rest for oil and re-
pairs.

OFFENSIVE ON
SALON|K| FRONT
HAS OPENED
Grand Assault Against Forces Of
Central Powers Now in
Progress.
s0MME TACTICS AGAIN
BEING PUT TO USE
French Claim Capture Of Small
Villages; Berlin Reports
Taking Florina.

London, Aug. 19.-The long expect
ed general offensive on the Saloniki
front has opened and the grand as
sault against the forces.of the Central
powers now is in progress in every
theater of the world war. General
Sarral is attacking the Bulgar-German
forces along the entire Greek-serbian
frontier a distance of more than one
hundred fifty miles.
Reports from both Berlin and Paris
indicate that the Entente allies are
following the same tactics in the
Balkans that signalized the opening
of the great offensive on the Somme.
Small bodies of troops are attack
ing at numerous points along the Bull
garian lines, apparently with the in
tention Of feeling out their opponents
positions, before the real battle opens
The French claim the capture of a
number of villages in the initial phas
es Of the offensive, while Berlin re
ports the capture of Florina, a Greek
town fifteen miles southeast of Mon
astir, from the Serbians. Serbian
headquarters admit this repulse. 4.
On the eastern front the Russians
have forced their way into the heart
of the great mountain barrier between
Galicia and the Hungarian plains. Thk
Austrians admit q retirement west 81
Javlonitza, the gateway to one OF the
most important passes through the
mopptains, which was seized by the
Russians last week. In this distric,
the Austrians are retreating toward
the Chornah ridge, the highest poin
in the Carpathians in that region
From this: ridge the ground falls rap
idly to the plains Of Hungary.
Farther to the. south, in the Buko
wilma end of; the battle line, the Rus
SLAMS have been forced back in thei
advance on Kirilbaba, the next pass
south of Jablonitza and about sc
miles from that point.

General Funston States Ameri.

From Mexico. X
REPORT WILL BE GIVEN
TO JOINT COMMISSION
Believed Board Will Promptly
Agree to Withdrawal Propo-
sition When They Meet.

Washington, AUG. ia recon-
mendation from General Funston that
the American troors be withdrawn
from Mexico was contained in re-
cent report on the military sitnation,
made at the request Of the war de.
partment and designed for use of the
joint commission which will discuss
border problems. State department
officials do not attempt to disguise
their regret over premature publica-
ton of General Funstons conclusion,
but they indicated today that it would
not cause any alteration in plans.
Publication of the fact that General
Funston believes it wise to withdraw
the troops may hamper the American
commissioners, some officials think.
1t is believed the administration
was fully prepared to arrange for the
recall Of General Pershings force,
since both state and war department
officials are said to share the views
expressed in General Funston's re.
port. ~
There can be little doubt 1t is now

DENTIST HANGS SELF
TO DOOR BY BED SHEET

Grand Forks, N. D., Aug. 19.-Dr. r..
B. Foster, residing in the Dinnie
apartments, attempted to commit sui
eide at 10 o'clock Thursday night by
hanging himself to the door of vault
in the office of DR.. Henry Tisdale,
chiroprac ctor, in Security Bank build

Early this morning he was in crit
ical condition at DeacOness hospital
and his recovery was regarded as
uncertain
Mentally Unbalanced.
DR.. Foster had been in an unbal-
anced mental state for the last week,
it is said, and this is believed to
have been the reason for his rash at
tempt.
Early Thursday evening DR.. Tis-
dale met DR.. Foster coming out of his
Office in the Security Bank building.
DR.. Foster appeared to be in a state
of great excitement, and told Dr.. Tis-
dale that he "was going to the court
house to deliver himself up"

The Mexican children are source

women, do not cross the railroad
track into the American part of town
once a week. But the youngsters
dart across the international line
at break of day and spend most OF
the day with the Americans.
