The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-05-02

Have you your own comfortable bed in your own home?
 What is it worth to you?
 When one sleeps soft and warm it is easy to believe the bed the other fellow is forced to lie in makes him just as grateful as you for rest and slUmber.
 There are, perhaps, ten thousand men in Bridgeport today who have no fit place to sleep in because there are not enough fit places for them.
 They are paying for a bed they have to share with others twice as much as they should pay for good quarters of their own.
 Because they are earning more money than they ever earned in their lives, even with the short-hour day, maybe you think they should be satis- fled.
 They never will be satisfied so long as they are separated from their families, left behind in a score or more cities.
 The worker no matter what his activities may be, wants the comfort and affections his wife gives him.
 He is hungry for her companionship, for the kind of food she prepares for him. He demands the right to love her, and to quar- rel with her, if he sees fit.
 Above all, he wants his children with him. Home-that sums it up. He wants his own home. He never will bessatisfied until he has it-and he shouldn' t be if he is real man.
 The expense of living in one city and keeping his family in another is a fac tor-but the real cost of divided household can't be recl1oned in money. Of course it is true the overwhelming rush of workers into Bridgeport, attracted by the extraordinary activities and consequent

The Time to Prepare
Hon. Cha, r. Burke GiyeS a Plain anu
Positive Statement OF What the
Two treat Parties stand For

The speech of Ex-Congressman
Burke at Harmonic hall last
Tuesday evening was a patriotic
plea, which placed before the
audience in a clear and distinct
manner the fundamental difference
Of the principles of government
which the democratic and republi-
car parties stand for. Mr.. Burke
refused t, befog the issue with
personalities or to refer to the
minor claims Of the two parties, but
declared that the fundamental
difference between the two parties
was that of free trade and protec-
ton. With government statistics
he pointed out that the results OF
democratic policy of tariff Tor rev
enue only had already commence
ed to DESTROY the industrial life Of
the country. when the European
war broke out, and that the eN-
t%raordinarv demand OF the
European nations for the products
Of this country alone saved us from
the disaster that has always over
taken us when the democratic
system of .'tartf for revenue !onlN
has been put into effect. Our
present prosperity IS built on the
blood and carnage Of Europe, and
as soon as the millions of consumers
nov in the trenches and on the
battle fields Of Europe return to
the productive activities OF their
nations industries will be ruthlesSIy
swept away under the present tariff
laws, and the time to prepare Tor
this.is now, before the disaster that
will follow the close Of hostllltles
in Europe, has come upon US,
We can do this by electlng
president and congress that Will
safeguard the industries Of the
country by proper protective laws,
which the republican party is
pledged to and which the democratic
.arty is pledged not to do.

1t has been a number Of months
since the candidates on the several
tickets were nominated and have
been before the people. Plenty Of
time has been given for criticising
and comparing these candidates,
and when this has not been done
during these intervening months
there is no reason why any sensible
or fair-minded man should pay any
attention to some eleventh hour
circular gotten out and sSnt to him
when candidate attacked IAN have
no opportunity to deny or explain
in any manner the charges made
against him. This is a coWardly
act on the part of the sender and
unfair to the parties attacked, and
the ordinary voter, who loves fair
play and honest dealing in political
matters should treat these eleventh
hour roorbacks with he contempt
they merit by throwing them into
the waste basket without considera-
ton. These remarks are brought
forth by the receipt this week Of
circulars sent out by r. +.
Pettigrew and Joe X irby Of Sioux
Falls, attacking Judge Mccoy, can
didate for the supreme court. We
do not belive these malicious
circulars, issued just bfore election,
can sway any Of the voters whe
knew Judge Mccoy when he was
on the bench in the district or whe
know his honorable record as 4
supreme court Judge, but the
circulars show the unfair and des-
picable action to which his political
enemies have resorted. Pay no
attention to any eleventh hour
attacks upon any candidate by any
party whomsoever. The charges
made in them are pretty certain
to be false and unworthy Of notice.

What the Local Option saloon Did to
One South Dakota Citizen

As a prisoner in the county Jail
at Sioux Falls | have had the
chance to read a number of articles
for and against the open saloon in
South Dakota.
The utter falsity and absurdity
Of the stand taken by those who
would handicap and cripple the
prosperous and progressive future
of South Dakota and its citizens by
granting license to the open
saloon. prompts ne to place in
your hands the following facts.
On August 20, 1916, | was found
in an alley in a helpless, maudlin
stupor caused by drinking whisky
and placed under arrest. Being
coatless, penniless and having a
general appearance Of worthless
ness, was truthfully and legally a
vagrant and sentenced to 50 days
in Jail, thereby becoming a useless
and unnecessary burden and expense
to the county.
As an active, constant patron of
the open, licensed saloon for the
past eight years, | am in a position
to state exactly just what peculiar
benefits and privileges it furnishes
it's prey.
1t decreased my earning capacity
from 500 to $40 a month when
employed.
1t wholly eradicated my self
respect.
1t caused a total loss Of ambition
to be OF use to myself or anyone
else.
1t at times forced me to dress in
such a name as to disgust a self
respecting scarecrow.
In fact, it took out Of my life
every noble, honest, good or help

In return for this complete
sacrifice Of better mental and moral
and social health and pretige | re-
ceived absolutely nothing beneficial

Why Vote for Wilson
You Farmers VIII" Will Have to Pay
the Cost OF the Eight Hour Law

Hon. James Wilson who enjoys
the record Of having been Secretary
Of Agriculture longer than any
other man in the history of the
Nation, and who has done more for
the farming interests than any
other secretary, has issued a state
ment in which he insists that
the farmer must pay the freight
Mr.. Wilson points out that the
farmer is the largest shipper in the
country and that obviously the in
creased cost of operating resulting
from the Wilson-Adamson wage in
crease law, must simply place an
additional burden on the farmer.
He says that the farmers are just and
even liberal and that if, on
thorough Investigation. it had been
found that certain railway men
We're receiving insufficient pay to
enable them to live decentlv and to
support and educate their families,
the farmer would not have object
ed to paying his share Of the in
creased cost of shipping. but that
the farmer regards it as entirely
unreasonable to ask him to stand
for increased freight rates. brought
about by a material increase of pay
to the men who are already the best
paid among railroad employees, an
increase in which 50 many even
harder working employees Of the
railroad have no share.

Who is Vino for County
superintendent

Isaac Nachtiga!l is of German
descent. He came from Europe with
his parents when he was but three
years old. His parents settled in
Turner County, South Dakota,
when most of the State was but
a void prairie. They settled on a
homestead nearly fifty miles from
the nearest railroad station. Be
ing penniless they went thru the
hardships with which many other
pioneers had to contend.
Isaac was educated in the com
mon schools and also in the private
German schools Of Turner County.
Later he entered the State College
at Brookings, where he graduated
from a full college course and recelv
ed the degree Of Bachelor Of
Science. On this College diploma
he received a State certificate.
During the y years Mr..
Nachtigall spent at college he re-
ceived no financial support from any
source, but worked for his board,
and earned money to meet other
expenses by working spare hours
and vacations. AS soon as Mr..
Nachtigall secured a teacher 5
certificate he turned his entire IN
terest toward that vocation. lie
taught in the rural school of his
home county, and later became
principal Of the Public Schools OF
Davis and Monroe, South Dakota.
In 1914 he was nominated and
elected Superintendent Of Schools
Of Turner County, and was re-elect-
ed without opposition for the
second term.
Eight years ago Isaac Nachtigall
came to Grant County ard made
his home on a stock farm in the
Hills" southwest Of Twin Brooks.
While engaged in stock raising,
Mr.. Nachtigall never lost interest
in educational work. He taught
in the rural schools nearby. an was
at one time principal of the Twin
Brooks Schools and later had the
same position at South Shore. He
also has been a member of the
school board for eight years, in
his home district.
Mr.. Nachtigall's advanced
scholarship and successful eNper-
fence was recognized by the State
department of Education when
they granted him last winter q life
diploma, the highest certificate
granted.
As to religion Mr.. Nachtigall is
a Baptist, but he is broad and non
prejuiced to any church: and takes
part in church and Sunday School
work in his community. Much
could be said as to his character,
success in educational career, and
testimonials and references could
given from prominent educators
who know him. But space does
not permit. Suffice it to say if
character, education and successful
experience count for something,
and it certainly should for an i'm
portant office as that of County
Superintendent, Mr.. Isaac Nachti-
gall should receive the solid support
of his county. Having sold his
farming interest he will, if elected,
put his whole soul in the interest
Of the schools Of Grant County.
He will heartily appreciate your
support. and you will never regret
giving it.
