A Monday Morning Wail

Sundays list of auto mishaps grows
as one talks with this one or that
one of those who were out enjoying the
particularly fine brand Of weather fur
nished by Weather Observer Henle
And with the list grows the conviction
that there is still much to be done in the
way of averting the accidents, some of it
being duty of the public rather than
of the Individual Of course the easiest
way to avoid being in such an accident
is to keep out of a car and run fast and
far when you see one coming. Another
way is to cut down the amount of gas
one carries so that speeding becomes
difficult and still another remedy is to
keep inexperienced drivers away from
the streeing gear. But even these
precautions will not solve all the difficult
ties and one that is left to be solved by
the public is how to avoid accidents at
obscured turns of the road. There is
such a turn near the Loretto Hospital.
A clump of trees shuts off the view OF
approaching cars from either direction
An accident occurred at that corner
Sunday that might happen to the most
careful driver or even two careful
drivers. It's up to the public to say
that such an accident shall not happier

W9W Then TRY the Eight Hour LaW:


Here is a statement as to the eight
hour law for railroad workers, made by
a man unaccustomed to unconsidered
utterance,-Mr Louis F. Post, Assistant
Secretary of Labor: "The Brother
hoods demands did not actually mean
that work be- limited to eight hours, but
that days run of hundred miles in the
freight service be made in eight hours
instead of ten. By making the speed
of freight trains IL IL miles an hour the
railroads could get the same results in
eight hours that they now get in ten or
more, could give shippers better service
expense No railway head has yet
declared that he would try out the change.
Can it be the attempt has not been
made, because it's successful operation
would "knock galley west" the chances
of the roads to secure an authorization
of an increase in rates? Fighting the
law on constitutional grounds will be
cheaper than trying to conform to it's
provisions. -Reedy's Mirror.

Getting Right With The Public.

@Force settles nothing except to de-
eide which force is the greater of the two
involved in the struggle and question
is never settled until it is settled right
so it is perfectly patent that the railroad
question is not downed for good. How
ever, the eight hour law passed by con-
gress to avert the threatened strike
should not be considered as the result Of
pressure applied by the trainmen but
rather because of the pressure of public
opinion and at the present time must be
considered the fright" settlement of the
question. The country faced a possible
condition Of great injury and there was
no law to govern the situation. It was
necessary to do something and do it
quick and the trainmen are not to sup
pose that the law as passed represented
a victory for them. It merely meant the
postponement of the final decision and
gives the Interstate Commission a
chance to investigate fully. Insofar as
the law squares with public opinion it
will be found right regardless of whether
force had hand in producing it or not.
Organized labor may find itself going
contrary to public opinion in it's refusal
to arbitrate the question with the rail-
roads. Labor may urge that they have
the precedent of big corporations in
their refusal and they may be absolutely
o:emyinced that they would not have had
"a fair show in arbitration proceedings
but Labor will find it hard to convince
"a public which has been unjustly in
convenienced that the one who refuses
to arbitrate is in the right. Labor
must have the sympathy Of the public
and the public generally believes in the
principle of arbitration.

WHAT GRANT DID WITHsMExIco.

What would General Grant do will
regard to Mexico if he were president?
Hold on, he wouldn't either. During
Grants two terms as president there were
PIT invasions of American territory BY
warning bands, before American troop.
were sent across the border in 1876.
Well, anyway, he got tired Of it at last
and invaded Mexico, didn't he? No, hi
didn't, not after the fashion of the gentle
men who are taking about the sullying o.
American honor by renegade Yaquis
General Grant negotiated a treaty will
Mexico, giving either country the right
to send armed troops into the. territory
Of the other when in hot pursuit Of
bandits or hostile Indians.
In accordance with that treaty, al
American military force crossed the
Mexican border in pursuit of the Apache
chief, Geronimo, and it took just eight
years to put that gentleman where he
could do no more mischief.
What would be said by Colonel Roose.
welt, Senator Fall and other upholders
of our national honor and dignity should
President Wilson negotiate with Carranza
a treaty similar to that which Grant
entered into with Diaz, who was then
rocking insecurity on the seat he had just
seized from Juarez after years Of revolu-
ton? It is easy to picture the fearful
outbreak of denunciation which would
follow. Treason and poltroonery would
be altogether too mild as descriptive
titles. Yet Grant did it Grant, the
great military leader, the man whose iron
blows broke down the Confederacy.
He put up with ten times as many in
vasions of the United States as have
taken place since the fall Of Madero, and
before invading Mexico he obtained per
mission from that country. and gave
Mexico legal right to put her armed
soldiers upon our own soil.
Is it possible that Grant failed to ap-
preciate the dignity of the United States
government and the sacredness of Ameri-
can life?-Des Moines Register.

dovl sand andsr. MI. Golnast and
Mis- Timm were pinned under the: seatt
and it took some time to extricate them.
The others needed no assistance to get
out. All were more or less scratched
and bruised.
Mr.. Golnast got the worst Of it. He
was bruised and wrenched and will be
unable to 60 to work for several days.
The occupants Of the car managed to
get back to Sleepy Eye and from there
two came home by train and the others
found friends who brought them home in
their cars.
The car was brought To town after 9
o'clock on its own power. The damage
is a smashed top, windshield, steering
gear and the two rear tenders and it will
take approximately 5000 to cover the
necessary repairs.
Mr.. and Mrs. Alfred Schroeck were
among those who managed to bring their
cars home Sunday rather the worse for
wear. They with the VIM. Schroeck
family had been spending the day near
CORTLAND and in coming home made a
bad start as they left the farm place.
The combination of too much gas, q
ditch and an apple Tree inconveniently
near by resulted in broken windshield,
a bent front axle and other minor in
+juries to the top and tenders. They were
able to drive the car home, however.
R. ]. Thomas of Newell, Ia, while
driving to Winthrop yesterday had
trouble with the steering gear of the Ford
and the car rolled over on its side when
going along at about Is miles an hour.
There were three persons in the party
and the mishap occurred just north of
Klossner. Mr.. Thomas sustained a dis
located elbow.

AUTOMOBILE MIsHAPs.

While Herman Meyer OF Summit Ave.
was on his way home Sunday evening
about six o'clock with his Krit car, going
via the Hospital road he was run into by
Rambler roadster driven by John Liebl,
Jr., and both cars sustained damages
which will in the aggregate run up to
about $3.50. The accident happened
just where the road energies between the
bluffs and one leads to the right to Sleepy
Eye and the other to the left to Sigel.
According to Mr.. Meyer he had already
turned off to the left on the road that
was to take him home and was practically
hugging the gutter when he was struck
by the Liebl car. Evidently Mr.. Liebl
was not acquainted with the roads and
expected Mr.. Meyer to turn off to the
Sleepy Eye road and tried to swing to the
right of him. This did not tally with
Mr.. Meyers plans. By the time Mr..
Liebl saw this error it was too late for
him to stop or sidestep the Krit and he
ran right smack into it, his right wheel
striking the front right wheel of the Krit
car AS result of the impact Meyers
car shows two broken wheels, a sprung
rear axle, crushed running board, and
twisted front axles and steering rods.
The Liebl car sustained damages almost
as costly as those of the Meyer car.
Fortunately nobody was hurt.
A miraculous escape from death or at
least from serious injuries was the good
fortune of John Golnast and party of
friends who accepted his invitation to
take spin to Sleepy Eye Sunday. The
accident which turned out so fortunately
happened 8 IL miles this side Of Sleepy
Eye, about 8 o'clock in the afternoon
on their return from Sleepy Eye where
they had witnessed the Catholic parade.
In the car with Mr.. Golnast were Harry
Fowler, Ray Kearns, and the Misses
Anna Hanson, Lena Timm and Auguste
Zimanski. Harry Fowler was at the
wheel, and was given an opportunity tc
try out his skill, because he is figuring
on buying benzine buggy himself in the
near future. He is an engineer on thu
Northwestern and is known as the speed
king of the road. His friends believe
that he was trying to duplicate the speed
stunt on gravel road and found out *
his sorrow that the automatics refused
Ito work. He meant we'll and set tn,
brakes preparatory to slowing up TO
rounding the next curve. He evidentl.
set the brakes too tight, because tn
front wheels locked.
! Immediately the car skidded, reversed
itself and turned turtle and was foun
facing toward Sleepy Eye, the wheel
still revolving when the occupants finall
crawled out from under.

skidding movement, the others wer

HORSE THIEF ROUNDED UP HERE

Word was received here Monday that
a. horse thief from Renville County was
headed this way with the stolen property
which he had made off with from the
farm of a man named Christ Johnson,
living near Olivia. The local officers of
the law started out Monday afternoon
and had wild goose chase of about forty
miles but could learn nothing as the
fellow who was suspected gave the name
of Knutson and started the police on a
wrong scent. The police had discovered
that horse had been sold at the Gieseke
livery stable to a horse trader from
Springfield and yesterday when Deputy
Sheriff Warner of Renville Co. came
here they gave orders that the horse
should not be shipped as had been
planned by the trader and the man he
bought from. They started out after
having secured the country by telephone
and found the fellow who had given the
n anne of Knutson hiding in corn shock
all covered up with the husks and softly
Graded in his arms was quart bottle of
whiskey. He was so stupid from drink
that the officers could get nothing out of
him and brought him to the jail to sober
off before applying the third degree.
