Regarding U. S.
Senatorial Fight

In the opinion of the editor of
this paper Porter J McCumbcr
should receive the support of
every Republican in Golden VAL
ley county, regardless ofthe gross
misrepresentation that are being
published concerning his record
in the Senate. 1t is an easy mat
Ter to place anyone in false light
by saying that they voted for this
bill or didn't vote for that bill and
then claiming that this bill is a
good one for the farmer or that
the other one is not a good bill
for the farmers. 1t is easy to de-
ceive when one stops to consider
that ninety-nine people out of a
hundred are not familiar with
any of the big issues of the pres
ent day. Legislation that will
not prove a hoax cannot be
brought about in a day and the
man we prefer is man that
makes a study of what's wanted
and then goes about it in clear
and deliberate way to get what
is wanted, not something claimed
to be ''just as good" and which
may afterward prove of no bene-
fit at all. Mr.. McCumber is not

Still as secretary of the Republi-

introduced the speaker with a

they opposed the Canadian reci-

Mr.. Norton complimented the
citizens of Beach on their city and
then took up the discussion of
national politics. He said that at
the time President Wilson took
his oath of office he considered
him very strong man and was
of the opinion that he would
make a wonderful president.
Since then, or during the past
three years, he had been forced to
change his mind the result of the
policies which Mr.. Wilson car

in the progress of this section

means a great deal to lis welfare.
His friends were legion through
out the entire state, as was prov

bearing Masons, Ells and their
friends was run from Dickinson
to Sentinel Butte this afternoon
in order that several hundred
from there might have the privi-
Iege of paying their last respects
to one whom they loved and re-
spected.
The deceased leaves to mourn
his death a loving wife. three
children and an aged father to all

The roundhouse is being re-

views such questions
He has persstcnty advocated legislation in the inter-
ests of the farmers Of the country and has just perss
eny denounced and shown up all sham pretenses that have
been offered to them.

nllally to the farmers of North Dakota
He has stood al all times for better markets. better
roads better postal facilities honest grading and inspection

should he not be elected to an
other term? Those who do not
want more than a square deal
will support him, as they realize
that according to law he can

titled to what he seeks, another

BASKET BALL.

Pennington broke even in their
double header last Saturday night
against Doe Run. The Eighth grade
boys played first and won is to IA.
The game was pretty roughly played
and many fouls were called. The
Pennington boys excelled in team
work and passing. The boys all
played their best, but the work of
Farmington's two guards, Simms and
Ferguson, and of "Big Schramm" at
forward, was excellent.
The High School game was a good
one, the final score of 1920 against
us Notwithstanding. Doe Run has
a good bunch of players, who play
the intercollegiate game in its rough
est fashion, and they won by it.
Pennington did the best they knew
and the first half ended in tie score.
But during the second half Doe Run
clearly outplayed our boys and piled
up a large score.
Pennington plays Desloge dou-
BILE header next Saturday night at

A Brutal Attack

While quietly munching some food
the other evening, in the quietude of
our home and the domesticity of our
family, we were suddenly aroused and
made alert by buzzing sound in our
right ear, which for the moment filled
us with fear that deathdealing air
craft was making our way, and at the
same instant we felt sharp instru
ment inserted into our right temple.
We then realized that instant action
was necessary if we were to be grab
bed from impending danger. Making
an upward stroke with "our good
right, we landed on the affected
part with staggering force. When
we regained consciousness, we seemed
to have been waited from the scene
of strife, as there was in sight no in
dication of carnage.
But we have had it drilled into us
not to act hastily, and for the next
several minutes we pursued a policy
of "watchful waiting" AS the enemy
failed to make another appearance
we decided that he may have been
caught between the upper and neither
stone that had "put US out" and per-
haps fatally wounded, or at least was
frightened away by the terrific crash.
| But whatever the cause of his disap-
pearance may be, it appears to us as
most dastardly and bloodthirsty that
we could not have been permitted to
eat of the little food that had FORUM
ately been spread before us, without
being attacked in such a villianous
fashion. The remainder of our fam
lily said it was mosquito. But if il
was, Mr.. Mosquito must have been
much overgrown, to have been able to
carry a sword. We would be willing
to swear that he was armed. In fact
we are not certain that we did not
swear. If the mosquitoes in this vi
cinity are so belligerant, then the all
important thing to do is to meet them
Immediately with an opposing army
and let it be a battle to the death
There will be no need of shot MOI
shrapnel with this enemy. A liberal
sprinkling of kerosene over their
headquarters will prove far more ef-
fective. But such battle must be
waged soon if it is to prove most eff.
fective.

M. r. &B.T. SEEKS TO
RAISE PASSENGER RATES
If Commission Will Investigate They
Will Find Present Rate Too High
for Services Rendered

than they are getting paid for at
present, we will try and suppress our
Indignation.
The Times editor has made a num-
ber of trips over the above suggested
route during the past few months,
and they have served to impress us
deeply with the abundant lack of con-
veniences that are common on most
other railroads. 1t is not uncommon
for these trains to run many miles
with the aisles crowded with passen-
gers unable to get seats; very often
women and children are forced into
the smoker in order to get seats, there
to be regaled with uncouth and OBJ
scene language; to be besmirched and
begrimed with tobacco chewing and
smoking, and compelled to undergo
other hardships not at all in keeping
with polite society. Few travel that
route who are not filled with thanks
giving at their journeys end. To all
such the very thought that this COM
pany is now seeking an opportunity
to raise the passenger rate for such
service, appears to be an attempted
hold-up, pure and simple. 1t is equal
to the proverbial "slow train through
Arkansas" with additional hardships
thrown in.
Then, their contention that under
the present 2 cent rate, it is impossi-
BILE to earn interest on the money in
vested, would appear to indicate that a
change in management would be prof
table to the stockholders, as we have
understood that this road was the
best paying property of any short
railroad in the State, in passenger
traffic. Under its old management,
before the present 2 cent rate went in
to effect, the service on these trains
was perhaps as good as was to be
found on any railroad within the
State, and then they did not charge
the maximum rate permitted by law.
We trust the Commissioners will
make thorough investigation of all
the issues involved in this case be-
! fore rendering their verdict. If this
1 is done, we believe their opinion will
be the M. R. G. B. T. railroad is be-
ing over-paid, at 2 cents per mile
passenger rate, for the services rem.
dered.
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1916-03-24

A message from jefferson City, un-
der date of March 18th, conveys the
information that the State Public Ser
vice Commission has fixed March 2S
as the date for hearing the case OF
the Mississippi River & Bonne Terre
Railroad, the officials Of this road hav-
ing made claims that they could not
earn interest on the money invested
by operating this road under the
present statutory rates. When such
application was made the commission
ordered a valuation of the physical
property concerned, and the hearing
will be on the correctness of the fig
ures to which the company takes ex-
ception.
The Times is most heartily in fa-
vor of an equitable railroad rate, bas-
ed on the quality of the service rem
dered to the travelling public. In fact
there is, we believe, no just argument
that could possibly be urged against
such a position. Where service is
actually rendered the travelling pub
lie we do not believe that any bene-
ficiaries of such service would want to
evade payment for same. But If the
M. r. G. B. 7. Railroad officials have
any possible reason to suggest why
they should be permitted to increase
the passenger rate for the service they
force on their patrons, then we would
be delighted to hear on what grounds
such claims are based.
Before deciding this case, the Com
missioners should take ride out as
Var as Flat River over this road, not
in a private car, but just as other
passengers are forced to do-there-
by acquiring a personal knowledge of
the service for which this railroad
company is attempting to add addi-
tional tariff. If the Commissioners
will make the suggested trip, then we
have no doubt that their sense OF
right and justice will cause them to
make the right decision on this appli-
cation. We believe such a journey
will necessarily put them cup against"
some of the inconvenience that those
who must travel over that road are
daily forced to endure. Then if they
can honestly declare that the M. R. &
B. T. railroad is giving better service
