SURVEYORS AT WORK
in SOUTH HAND CO.
Crew of Eleven Running Line
From South Along 6S-69
Range Line

Reports came to town last week
that a bunch of eleven surveyors
were at work in southern Hand coun-
ty, running a line from the southern
~boundry north along the range line
separating ranges 6S and 60. This
would bring them -four miles west of
Miller, near the Boldt and Brown
farms. A few years ago another
bunch of surveyors went over this
same locality, stopped before finish
ing, and were sent to the western
part of the state. At the time 1t was
thought that they we're in the employ
of the c. & N. W. railroad.
No information could be obtained
as to the purpose of these surveys,
but If the Milwaukee, or some other
road, is seeking to come into that
territory, it will not be strange II the
Northwestern should also extend
their Mitchell! line into the same ter
ritory, connecting up with their HUI
ron-Pierre line.

KEEPING OUT OF WAR

Save me from my friends" said
a wise man long ago. President Will
son may well send up the same petit
ton about his friends who sprung
that He kept us out of war;" slogan.
The speakers and writer's of the coun-
try have ridiculed 1t almost out of
the campaign with their quips and
questions.
One paper wonders IL the troops in
Mexico and on the border will vote
for Wilson because he kept them out
Of a
Another asks why that war stamp
tax, etc.
And then came an official statement
from a U. S. general that we must
officially record a state of war with
Mexico, else the killing Of any Mexi-
can or American is murder. And In
much chagrin, the Secretary of War
had to accept and file this report.

NORTH HAND

While driving to Orient sunday AZ
ternoon, Ruth and Gladys Rudd mar
rowly escaped what might have been
a very serious accident. Just as they
| were on the narrow grade nearing the
bridge. south of town, an auto with
out any warming crashed into them,
| entirely demoIishing one of the rea
wheels of the buggy. The horse be-
| came frightened and started run
ming, but the girls displayed consid-
cradle pluck in staying by their rig,
and succeeded in getting the horses
stopped just as they reached the
bridge. 1t seems little less than a
miracale that no one was killed or
even hurt more than being consider
ably shaken up and frightened. Mr..
Elliott secured a buggy for Gladys
| to return home, Ruth remaining to re-
sumo her school duties. It's danger
Gus to be safe if you don't have an
auto, and it's quite safe to be danger
Gus if you do have one.

NOrbeCk On The
Eight Hour Law

Lieutenant Governor Norbeck, in
his speech at Miller, gave as clear an
argument on the Adamson eight hour
law, as any Of the public speakers In
this campaign. He said the S-hour
law affected only the high salaried
conductors and engineers in railroad
work, and does not benefit thousands
Of other employees. 1t does not really
conflne even those employees to 8
hours, but says they may base their
lays wages on s hours and get a full
lays pay. If they work 10 hours,
and they may and do, they are to be
paid one and a half extra price for
each hour over 8. Hence 1t would
appear that this boosted democratic
law to help labor in reality only helps
a very highly paid class.
Thegovernor sad that government
statistics all over the United States
show that the average daily earn
ings of a farmer is STAT per day,
while under the Adamson law con-
ductors and engineer 9 will
receive from IS { o 81 per day for s
hours labor. And an S-hour day on
me farm would be a joke.
The railroads will meet this In
creased salary demand OF conductors
and engineers by increased freight
rates, so that the public will have 1t
10 pay and not the railroads. That
this law, forced through hurriedly
right in face of a presidential cleo
ton. is not right, republicans point to
President Wilson's own statements
that steps should betaken to protect
he country from any similar move
ments inthe future.

Chicago, Oct. 2S.-DemoCratic man
agers cannot locate a single state,
out side of themore or less solid
south. that is certainly and positively
about to deliver its ELECTORAL vote to
President Wilson.
Republican national managers, on
the other hand, lay claim to enough
ELECTORAL votes in the north and west
claims not seriously resisted by
democrats who disclose their inner
secrets-to place Charles E. Hughes
within striking distance of the pres
idency.
The democrats. for publication, do
not concede anything, not even Penn
~sylvania. and they do lot give up, for
publication, a solitary commonwealth
west of the Mississippi, not even
Iowa.
G. q. =. Prospects Brighten
The more the conflicting reports,
newspaper diagnosis, claims and
cross claims are mulled over, the
brighter become the prospects for a
republican victory on Nov. z.
At the same time, alwaye barring
the possibility OF a landslide that al
ways exists, and which one candidate
may expect as we'll as another. it is
difficult t o get any figures out OF the
available information that tend to in
dictate a reasonable chance for Presi-
dent Wilson's reelection.
Reports that come to the Chicago
Tribune, when analysed in comparison
with the inside figures OF the republi-
can and democratic national head
auarers. lead to tn conclusion that
1913 ELECTORAL votes may be counted
az sure for Hughes, and he needs 266
to win. In the 1913 are not included
the states of Connecticut, New York,
New Jersey, Indiana, Chic or WiscOn-
sin.

Chicago Paper
Leaves Wilson

&" The Chicago Daily News, which
supported President Wilson In 1912,
has editorially announced that it can
not again support him. It says:
Certain characteristics Of this re-
markable chief executive Of the nation
clearly revealed by his official course,
have led him into actions that appear
to the Daily News to be subversive OF
popular government and even OF the
foundations Of public order and safe
ty. Therefore it believes thatthe in.
terests of the republic require the re.
| tirement of Mr.. Wilson from the
presidency at tn end Of his present
