Well! Hello, Logan! We are on the

not transacting business.
w. ]. Verzett is an enterprising
young farmer of our neighborhood.
Last spring, not having seed, machin-
cry and other necessary apparatus for
putting in grain crop, he put his
farm into potatoes and garden truck,
from which he states he has cleared
5000. And then some would-be farm
ers claim it does not pay to bother
with Eaters and garden.
Mr.. Winn is certainly busy man
these days.
We are pleased to note that Mr..
Rigs, who has been in the hospital at

fracturing the bone. The doctor is re-

Judge Leighton is mighty poor

judge. Of course it is possible to pick
flaws in his record for the perfect
judge has not walked this earth since
when the Prince of Peace mingled
with the inhabitants of this ter
restial sphere. But Judge Leighton has
been sincere in his work, we believe
and he has made record that will
bear investigation. That he has given
number Of criminals suspended
sentence is true, but he has believed in
each instance that it might be we'll to
give them their chance. Many of them
have turned out to be good citizens,
having learned their lessons. The
Judge is one of those common, every
day sort of fellows who deal out
justice in merciful manner and yet
the confirmed criminal always gets his
just deserts. The Independent be-
lieves that Judge Leighton will be re-
elected by large majority for his
friends will be mighty slow to give
much credence to the charges that
have been made against him.

THE FORD PROFITS

Newspapers and other publications
never hesitate to print information
about the profits of manufacturing
Ford automobiles. Much of what is
printed in relation to the Ford car
would be considered as advertising
when connected with other cars.
Public curiosity has always been
keen as to the profits Of manufacture
ing this gasoline public utility. 1t can
easily be figured out.
The earnings of the last fiscal year
were $59,994,11S. Assuming that the
sales were practically equal to the pro-
duction of 533,921 cars, it is figured
that Henry last year made a profit OF
SIP on each car.
The gross sales of $206,867,347 rep
resented an average per car of 1887,
leaving 1915 to represent the average
cost of producing car. OF course,
the selling expense has to be deducted;
but what this happens to be not even
such an astute observer as the Wall
Street Journal can discover, but con-
cludes that it did not run much over
$75 per car, leaving the manufacture
ing cost about 5000 per car.
As proft-maker based on capital,
the Ford company eclipses any indus
trial enterprise in the history of the
world. Its stock capital is only ST.
100000, and it's net profits last year,
as noted, were nearly S60,O0O,O00!
And that isn't all. After paying 60
per cent on the stock, there remained
s5S,sOO,O0O this year for reinvestment
in the business, bringing the total as
sets of the company up to S147O0O,000
and the balance sheet surplus to no
less than s117,0OO,OOO, or $500 a
share!
If this thing keeps up many years
longer, the Standard Oil company will
look like a piker.

Former United States Senator
Henry G. Hansbrough, who held Of
ce in North Dakota for eighteen years
at the hands of republican voters, is
now going up and down the state cam
raigning for Wilson and the demo-
cratic ticket generally. We have heard
great many democrats express them
selve as feeling that Hansbrougn is
actually hurting their cause. The re-
publican party was good enough for
Hansbrough as long as he could hold
a nice fat office, but after he had been
kicked out he appears to have become
very bitter. In his speeches, he de-
votes large part of his time to de-
nouncing Roosevelt. In his paid po-
litical advertisements, he takes the
trouble to tell the voters that the
money that he is spending for them
was made from his Ramsey county
farm. Whoever engaged this (fgur-
atively speaking) "wind-broken polit-
ical war-horse" to return to North Da-
kota to tell our people what to do,
showed mighty poor judgment. He is
costing Woodrow Wilson many votes
daily in this state.

There is an alleged "Independent
Publicity Bureau" at Bismarck that is
putting advertisements in the va
rious newspapers attacking Senator
McCumber. These advertisements are
false, misleading, malicious and libel
Gus and the originators of them do not
dare to sign their names to them. No
credence should be given them. The
Independent cannot believe that John
Burke or his managers are responsible
for this kind of politics, for Mr.. Burke
has always been regarded as a clean
campaigner.

Judge Hughes is very apt to carry
North Dakota, Notwithstanding that
there appears to be considerable Will
son sentiment throughout the state.
The Nonpartisan league vote is in the
vast majority in North Dakota. There
is no question nut what practically all
Of the Nonpartisan league candidates
will win Nov. Z. The Nonpartisans are
not paying great deal of attention
to the national and senatorial con-
tests, yet Lynn ]. Frazier, the leagues
candidate for governor, has let it be
known that he is republican and that
he stands for Hughes. This will in
fuence a great many votes in the No.
vember election, enough, we believe,
to place the state safely in the repub-
lican column. The republican nom
inee for the United States senate, Por-
ter J. McCumber, will undoubtedly
profit in similar manner and already
there is CONSERVATION in the demo-
cratic ranks because it is feared that
John Burke is playing losing game

North Dakota.

address without question was the most
important in the republican campaign
in this city. Hundreds Of farmers who
had driven long distances with their
families expecting to hear again their
old friend speak, were turned away for
standing room was at a premium for
fully an hour before the time sched-
uled for the address. Senator Knute
Nelson is always great drawing card.
He is one of Americas greatest states
men and man universally loved. 1t
is too bad that more could not have
heard him. Senator Nelson is grow
ing quite old and while he is still hale
and hearty, it would not be at all sur
prising if this is the last time he will
appear In our city.

The Independent understands that a
young man from one of the eastern
villages of the state has been here for
several days trying to interest local
capital in establishing another daily
newspaper. He is said to have in the
neighborhood of seven hundred dol
lars and wants the citizens to furnish
the balance. The young man is not
to be blamed for making an effort to
establish this paper for this is a free
country. Minot already has too many
newspapers and any time the citizens
feel the need Of establishing the Sec
ond daily, one of the other papers
should be bought, We want to tell the
citizens of Minot plainly, however,
that to launch successful new daily
newspaper, nothing short Of a $4,000
plant should be considered, and then
there should be few thousand dollars
in the surplus fund to tide the publ
cation over the troubled waters dur
ing it's first year. The merchants will
not give another paper much encour-
agement just now while the one we
have is making strenuous efforts to
meet the demands, for it would mean
a greater expenditure for advertising.
Minot doesn't need more newspapers
as badly as she needs better newspa-
pers. The Independent doesn't hest
tate in saying that we intend to launch
a daily newspaper ourselves in the not
greatly distant future and every i'm
provement that we are making, we
are doing so with that object in view.
When we do, we want to be certain
to make a success of it and will not
launch the proposition until news print
conditions are better.

MRS. FRED YALE KILLED
IN ACCIDENT AT KALISPELL
Former Minot Woman Met Death In.
stantly Saturday in Auto Accident
Wife of G.. N. Special Agent

Mrs. Fred Yale, who was resident
of Minot until two years ago, was in
stantly killed in an automobile acct
dent at Kalispell, Mont, on Saturday
where she had made her home since
leaving this city. The Independent
has not secured any of the particulars
concerning the accident.

band, prominent Great Northern
special agent, and three children, two
sons, Chester, aged II, and Frank,
aged IA, and one daughter, Kathryn,
who was married to Harley M. Bass
ford of Kalispell, Mont, about a year
ago.
Mrs. Yale was shout 40 years of age
and leaves host of friends in this
city and Grand Forks. She was ex-
ceedingly capable. Having graduated
as trained nurse when q young wo-
man, she followed her profession to
some extent and was highly regarded
by doctors and patients in the sick
room. She was well versed on many
subjects, in short, she was practical,
exceedingly pleasant and made friends
wherever she went Mrs. Yale was a
model mother and will be greatly miss
ed just at the time when needed the
most.
Mrs. Yale was resident of North
Dakota about six years and prior to
then lived at Denver, Colo.

 The announcement that the postoffice department has called for bids for carrying the mails in Alaska ny aeropane has created widespread interest and the com mencement of the new service will be eagerly awaited throughout tho Territory.
 The establishment of air routes In the Northland Is long step forward Such O service will afford re- lief to the districts of Alaska which cannot be served satisfactorily in any other way; t will put Fair banksans closer touch with the Outside than could be hoped for even with trains making regular trips to and from the coast In short the department purposes to give us service second to none in the United States the only limitation being the movement of steamers to and from Puget Sound.
 There seems to be no reason for believing that air craft cannot be used successfully In Alaska The Eur opean war has hastened the development of aerial nav gation to point where risks practically eliminated Accidents to aeronauts. which were the rule few years ago. are the exception and due largely to inexperience and careessness The flying machine of today is reasonably safe carrier when properly handled and In Alaska the transportation of malls by means of aeropanes should be less hazardous than t is under present conditions especially in the more remote regions where mall carriers constantly exposed to dangers during the winter months.
