The Seaforth arson case, in
which T. H. Jordan is on trial
for arson in the first degree,
went to the jury late Monday
afternoon, after being stubborn
ly fought on both sides. Coun-
ty Attorney Albert Emerson had
charge of the case for the de-
Tense, being assisted by James
Markham, Assistant Attorney
General. Mr.. Jordan was de-
Tended by Attorneys Frank Muir
ply of Wheaton and Frank
Clague Of Redwood Falls.
This case, which grew out of
the burning Of hotel at Sea-
forth has attracted statewide
attention. These men were i'm
plicated in the alleged plot Of
it's burning, ]. w. Keyes, M. G.
Garvey and T. H. Jordan. Keyes
plead guilty to the charge of
first degree arson and is now
serving his sentence at Still
water Jordan was tried at the
November term Of court, but
the jury disagreed so the case
came up for retrial at the pres
ent term. Garvey, who like
Jordan. has been out under
bonds, is demanding an imme-
diate trial and the matter was
taken under consideration
by Judge Olsen Tuesday morn
ing.
The facts of the case briefly
stated are that Reyes confessed
to setting fire to the hotel build
ing at a time when he knew it
was occupied by human beings.
In his confession ne implicated
Garvey and Jordan, asserting
that it was at their instiga-
ton the building was burned in
order that the insurance money
might be obtained.
Very little new evidence was
brought into the case. The state
introduced, for the first time. a
photographed copy of a check
for 500 given by the brother
Of Jordan to Keyes at Minneap-
oils, at a time when Keyes was
under custody by the State Fire
Department. This check was re-
ceived after demand for mon
ey made by Keves to T. H. Jor-
dan who was at Benson at the
time. Aside from this evidence,
the case was practically the
same as heard last November,
Robt. Hargadine, state fire mar
shall, his deputy Mr.. Martin. and
Keyes being the strongest wit
nesses for the state.
At the time of the first trial
Of Mr.. Jordan the jury disagreed
after over thirty hours delivera-
ton. The penalty for first de-
gree arson is not less than ten
years.

A DEDICATED DAY

The managers Of the Democratic
campaign have evolved an idea for TO-
viving interest in a waning cause.
They have designated next Saturday,
the 2Sth inst, as Woodrow Wilson
Day. 1t is not the anniversary Of his
birth, nor the day on which he WAS
nominated for any office or made pres
ident Of Princeton, nor does it mark
any signal event in his career. le.
R. w. Wooley, who resigned a federal
office to become the Wilson press
agent in this campaign, has drawn the
following programme for Woodrow
Wilson Day: Meetings will be held
in every city, town and hamlet in the
United States; and a message from
President Wilson to the people Of the
Nation will be read at each Of these
meetings. This message is to be a sort
Of proclamation Of Americanism."
We can imagine nothing more fit
ting for the observance Of day which
bears the name of Woodrow Wilson.

pernlcious activity OF Col. Randolph

when MIR. Cornwall was then candl-

Then as now Col. Stalnaker was ono

ThoAe who have momory OF the

DECEPTION AND FRAUD

The Adams0n bill. which its friends
falsely claim establishes an eight hour
work day, takes from organized labor
one of its most cherished principles
that of the initiative and The right 20
contract for its service. In surrender
ing to the demands Of the railway
brotherhoods Congress has established
the precedent Of fixing the rate OF
wages for labor Anything that is set
tied by law Is lifted out OF the realm
Of arbitration. That is what happened
by the enactment Of the Adamson law.
But there is still another adventure
that faces labor. If Congress has the
right to increase wages, it. also has the
right to decrease wages. If the tram
men can go to Congress and demand
higher compensation, then the railroad
managers have the same right 10 ap-
peal to that body TO be relieved from
what they consider an excessive rate
OF wages. Has labor ever thought OF
that?
The injustice OF the Adamson act is
another feature, in that it is class legis-

There is a great deal OF talk going
on now By both candidates intended TO
beguilo the voter and influence ms
decision on election day. If you will
analyZe these statements you Will see
that the great majority of them either
say uncomfortable things about the
other candidate or promise to do some
thing. What are these promises
worth? What is the probability that
Mr.. Wilson or Mr.. Hughes, If elected,
will carry out these promises? lou
will notice that each particularly
pledges you his solemn word of honor
that he will see to it that these prom
Uses are kept. Is his solemn word in
this connection wort hanything? l am
not asking whether he is an honest
man, whether he means what he says.
l am asking whether he has now the
power or is going to get the power to
carry out that honest willingness to
do what he tells you he will.
Most promises are concerned with
future legislation. II is a very remark
able fact that neither candidate, after
taking the oath Of Office and sitting in
the presidential chair in the White
House, will have one atom OF legiSla-
tive power to initiate his promises or
to see that Congress passes them. The
constitution explicitly, definitely and
finally provides that he shall not have
the power TO fulfill these promises
the Senate and House are agreed upon
bill, the President is then by the
constitution allowed to accept or re-
jet it. Us he sees fit, but he has not
one scrap OF legal power to compel the
Senate and the House to bring up any
bill or pass any measure in one shape
rather than another. Indeed he has
no legal power 10 compel either or
both houses to do anything at all. If
they pass no bills, he can do nothing
about it. nor can you. In each case
Congress has the first and The last
word. 1t will, therefore, be clear TO
you that in the form which they are
given, all Of these explicit promises,
both by Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Hughes,
are valueless. Neither man will have,
as President. any legal power to carry
them through.
AT the same time, because these
promises are legally worthless, does
it necessarily follow that they are Of
no value at all? Mr.. Wilson is al
ready. and Mr.. Hughes will be, if elect
ed, not only the President of the
United States, but also the formal
leader Of his party. As party leader
he has an immense power. which the
law does not confer upon him, and
which the constitution does not rccog-
nize, which all reformers have de-
plored in season and out OF season,
and which the writer's on Political Sci
euce call by bad names, by means OF
which he can secure the initiation Of
10 rri = II
is a tool which it is unreasonable TO
suppose that Mr.. Hughes could not
also WELD if he is elected. There is,
therefore, some truth in what the can
