STILL II. At |. LARGE
Glue After Clue Has Been Traced
Without Success Sheriff and
Deputies Give Up
.lspecia,,,t to the Tribu,ae.

Beulah, N. D., Nov. 23.IThc un-
known slayer Of the late Carl Maier
Of Beulah, who was shot while walk
ing along the public highway, about
one mile from town, some time ago,
is still at large. Clue after clue has
been traced without success. The
sheriff and his deputies have about
given up in despair.
The late Carl Maier was one OF
the best known and highly respected
residents Of this village. While walk.
ing along the road south OF town a
man, riding white horse, suddenly
appeared, wrenched the 30-3O rifle
Maier was carrying, and shot him
twice Both bullets entered his left
side. The victim was found lying on
the roadside by a farmer. All efforts
to save his life proved fruitless. Mai
er remained in an unconscious cOndi-
ton practically every minute up to
the time of his death, only arOusing
from his state of coma long enough
to inform those about him that a
man on white horse had committed
the foul deed.
A posse was organized and the
woods secured without success. The
desperate had made good his escape.

is typical: :.

'If he had disappeared from the
scene three years sooner, the world
would have forgotten his calculating
cowardice, his ferocious egotism, his
hypocrisy, and would have remember
ed only the private and public mis-
fortunes which marked almost all the
years of his reign, without reflecting
that these misfortunes were all de
served. He perhaps would have been
pitied. But justice has not permitted
that he swindle the world out of this
supreme homage. 1t has made fol

President Wilson congratulations up
on his reelection. Convinced that
the president had carried California
beyond quibble, Mr.. Hughes for

will.
President Wilson replied briefly as
follows:

your message of congratulatiOn. AL

for years to come"
The exchange of congratulations
were delayed because Republican
leaders had hopes that California, up.
on an official count, might be found
in the Hughes column. The count in
that state is practically completed
and Republican leaders insisted that
there was no basis for a recount or
contest. That was the word which
Mr.. Hughes had been waiting for.
In his telegram, Mr.. Hughes said:
Because of the closeness Of the
vote have awaited the official count

virtually completed permit me to ex-
tend to you my congratulations upon

BIDDING FOR THE GERMAN VOTE

Really, the case against the
Democratic campaign management,
for dickering with hyphenate organ
izations in the effort to line up the
~German vote" for Wilson, is
stronger than the Republican man
ayers have. stated it. Naturally
enough, any campaign management
wants to get votes; and managers,
unlike our virtuous President, are
not much given to modification over
the character Of individuals who cast
those votes. Either Mr.. Wilcox or
Mr.. Mccormick would be awfully
pleased to know that every hyphen-
ate vote in the country would be cast
for their respective candidates; but
neither of them would want to brag
about it in public, fearing conse-
'quences. Doubtless both committees
have been doing what they could to
get German votes and all other kinds
Of votes. II they haven't, they have
uSch hOBiSSsiuB thc particular uubi-
ness for which they were created.
Still, there is a difference. Presi-
dent Wilson would be mortified to
have Jeremiah O'Leary vote for him.
He will be saved the modification,
If we may accept certain perfervid
observations Of Jeremiah at their
full sulphurous value. But the Presi-
dent didn't want anybody like
jeremiah to vote for him; and here's
the sticker. His national committee
has been sending Senator Stone and
other emissaries around to folks as
like Jeremiah as another pea in the
same pod, trying to- get them to vote
for Wilson. Letters have been writ
ten, conferences held, everything
possible done to get anybody like"
jeremiah that could be reached,
herded into the Wilson camp.
1t isn't treating the President
fairly; and 1t is making an exposure
of insincerity that might decently
give pause even to a more hardened
much moreLcampaign manager
than Vance Mccormick. Z, rlho'.

HOW MUCH HAVE PRICES ADJ
VANcED7

Wholesale prices sharply advanced
last week on most commodities in
the lists from which the prices tables
are made up. In a list of ninety ar
ticles on which Dun's agency made
up price showings, seventy-two adj
vanced and eighteen fell; that is,
the advances were exactly four times
as many as the declines. ..-,
Indications are that the advances
will continue at least until some sign
of the wars end is more apparent
than II is how. As always from the
beginning, both sides insist that the
struggle will Ego another year." The
allies are making contracts for ma
terials to continue throughout 1917,
and preparing to organize their
transactions for 1920. It is not to
be assumed that the worlds price
lists will be pruned permanently or
considerably so long as this huge
waste goes on.
The impressive increase Of prices,
and the present persistence Of it, is
indicated by Dun's list Of commodi-
ties, in which prices at the close Of
last week, of the week before last,
and Of a year ago, are shown in par
allel columns. Here are some Of the
items;

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THR
BETTING

Betting on an election never
means much, rs an index Of the ten
dency Of things. Matthew Stanley
Quay Is. credited with being the
most skillful manipulation Of public
opinion by means of the betting odds
that ever. operated in politics. But,
commonly, the bets and the odds
mean very little.
In the present situation, the
Democrats have a decided advantage
in the technical gambling position,
for an interesting reason. Early IN
the campaign, when everything
looked like a Republican sweep, bets
were placed at considerable odds on
the Republican nominee. Toward the
close, as always happens, bets placed
in enthusiasm begin to be regarded
in cold candor, and gentlemen worry
about results. After all, it might
come out the other way. Maybe it
will be safer to "hedge." So they
go out looking for bets on the other
side; and it has exactly the same
effect as when everybody in the stock
market is a bull: prices go up.
Right now there are some Hughes
bettors who want to play safe by
putting some money on the other
side; they are bidding for bets, and
so the odds on Hughes are under q
bearish influence. 1t is even pre-
dicted that Wilson may command
even money before election. If So
oddly enough, he will command it in
considerable part because his weak.
ness led people to bet heavily
against him, and now they want to
hedge"
The Washington times., 1916-10-24

certain sections, based upon per-
fectly proper and plausible reasons,
and invitations that have ocme from
others have shown an absence Of
unified action. The questions that
have been raised are purely local,
and have nothing to do with the
necessity for . new hospital in the
District. Every association wants
the municipal hospital, and wants it
as soon as possible. The question
Is merely one Of location.
II there had been announcement Of
definite program and each associa-
ton could have known every other
associations attitude, it would have
been possible to work out a har-
monious plan for the Federation Of
Citizens Associations to carry for
ward to accomplishment.
A program gives shape and mean
ing to the work Of an association.
1t is highly important to conserve
civic energy by giving it definite
aim. -
The Washington times., 1916-10-24
UNIFYING THE CIVIC FORCES

The growing Importance of citi-
xens' associations in District affairs
is impressing upon them the need
of some definite scheme for all gen.
eral improvements by which the
whole District is affected.
The Mid-City Citizens Associa-
ton, which has so often performed
conspicuous public service, has set
an example by approving the pro-
gram laid out by its president. Three
items of paramount Importance to
all citizens and all associations are
included in that program:
The municipal hospital.
The garbage disposal plant.
Free textbooks for high schools.
These, it would seem, should be
in the program of every civic organ.
ization in Washington. If there had
been a centering of interest on the
municipal hospital last year the con-
dition would not be SO chaotic as il
is. Protests that have come from
