POINT WELL TAKEN.

At time so critical, when our
heartstrigs vibrate continually
to news from the battlefields in
Europe, it is a pity that editors
OF our daily papers do not place
the selection Of the headlines in
the hands of grown men-that is,
mentally grown.
Most of the headlines appear
to be concocted by ignorant boys.
We read "The Austrian Line
Broken as in truth it was some
weeks ago, but the headline we
quote referred to a local Skin
mish.
If the British make q success
full raid, "The Huns Are Hurled
Back" if our American boys are
successful in an affair of out
posts it is "Another u. S. Vic
tory;" if the French advance a
thousand yards on one flank, it
is Germans Crushed by the
French" although concurrently
the other flank may have been
compelled to retire several miles.
We have had some notable sue
cesses lately, especially on the Ital-
ian front, and our own army is be-
ginning to make itself felt in no
uncertain way, but it is only child
ish to exaggerate every little at
fair in which our men or those
Of our allies are successful.
The daily exaggeration Of bits
of good news destroys the true
perspective Of the great events
we are witnessing through the
turgid medium of newspaper cor
respondence. It is time for our
editors to appreciate the dignity
Of history in the making.-Min-
ing and Scientific Press.

An attempt then was made by the
purchasers to make me stand the cost
Of all the trouble but refused to do
so. In my absence, however, they
looked up Davis, believing him to be
my partner in the deal. They effected
a settlement with him in the sum of
$4,000 and secured his power of at

necessity. 1t took about a year to
fight the suit to finish. The late
Shubal F. White appeared for the
men who were trying to give me the
worst of it and J. L. Washburn looked
after my interests. The case came be-
fore Judge Ensign and jury Of high
1y respectable business men. I got

Defense Appeals to Supreme Court.
The defendants then appealed the
case to the supreme court and that
consumed another year and brought
heavy expense to me. I won in the
supreme court but my allowance was
cut down to $1,000, the upper court
holding that the $4,000 paid Davis was
valid but that the purchasers were OBJ
[ ligated to acquire title as originally
agreed.
Thus the Little American gold mine,
like so many western properties. had
its early baptism OF litigation. In the

property lacks merit If it has not been

can ought to be a valuable property.

living with q common Mexican woman

WITH THE EDITORS
HOW 1T HAPPENED.

For the substitution of Republican majority in
the House of Representatives for a Democratic
majority, blame or thanks, depending upon how
you look at it, are due to the Presidents call to the
Democratic colors. Less than two weeks ago the
country was about as interested in the congress
siona elections with.aaly two or three over-ad-
vertised exceptions, as in screech OWLS nest Of
last years vintage The politicians, in the nature
of things, were giving attention. but the mass Of
voters were not, particularly the Republican vot-
ers. These electors were leaning backward in~the
attempt to support the program Of politics adj
journed." Toledo Blade. -
Mr.. Wilson made grave error when he chal-
lenged the loyalty of the Republicans in the Con-
gress that shall convene next March. That error
will be forgiven him should it not lead to a
prejudiced attitude toward the Republican major
tiles. In such event the Republicans would still
support the President as such, and lament his ex-
hibtion of partisanprsjqdi predictions. All
Republicans are wiIingsto let history pass upon
the loyalty and services Of their party during the
war and for the period of reconstruction to be
entered upon.-Batimore American.
In his extraordinary appeal to the voters, issued
just before the election, the President expressed
the opinion that the return Of Republican Con-
gress would be interpreted abroad "as repudia-
ton Of my leadership" He thus defined the issue
and the verdict is now in. It is definite repudi-
alton of leadership that was believed to be ex-
erted in the direction of an easy peace. For that
was the subject on which public attention was
conferred in the weeks Immediately preceding the
election.-Kansas City Star.

THE REAL MR.. PATTERSON

The real Mr. Patterson cropped out Wednesday
evening when he, as boss of the Burleigh county
commission, deprived of their rights as American
citizens $50 brave Burleigh county boys VINO are
in France resting on their arms after having won
the greatest victory for democracy in all history.
This is not Mr. Patterson the good fellow; 1t IS
the real Mr. Patterson stripped bare to the hide,
the political trckster, the scheming ward heller
who will stop at nothing to gain his ends. The
sacrifices these $50 Burleigh county boys have
made the feelings of their families and friends
here at home are less than nothing when weighed
in the balance with MIR. Patterson's own ambl-
tions.
The Nonpartisan league organization in Bur-
leigh county, thanks to Mr. William }. Prater,
bird of feather, has again elevated Mr.. Patterson
to the role of boss which he occupied for so many
years under the old regime. The services OF Ed
S. Allen as states attorney are essential to the
success of Mr.. Patterson's plans. To secure the
election of Mr.. Allen, Ed Patterson had resorted
to the filthiest of dirty politics, and when even
that seems sufficient to insure victory, he calmly
flies in the face of every decent loyal American in
Burleigh county and DEGREES that because our boys
have been in France fighting for us and because
they could not be here at home, where Ed. Patter-
son has so we'll guarded his purse from nearly
every demand of the war, they shall have no voice
in the making of the laws nor in the selection of
the officers under whom they must live when they
come home to US again.
This is Pattersonism extended to the highest
degree. This is the thing that Burleigh county
by it's apathy, it's Indifference, it's anaesthetizing
of moral consciousness and righteousness has
done to the boys who have fought for us so nobly
and won for us so gloriously over there.
We should be proud of the zeal with which we
have safeguarded the heritage of our boys

MEET THE NEW EMERGENCY.

Germany's assault on civilization found the
world, including the United States, mitarily un-
prepared to properly resist.
Advocates Of preparedness in the United States
found little sympathy for months after the war
broke over Europe.
America was finally awakened to the danger to
liberty and democracy.
The emergency was grandly met, as all the
world knows. It was quickly met, too.
But while it was being met those who urged
preparedness for peace were wet-blanketed.
"Ths war may last five or ten years." the OBJ
jectors to preparation of business and industrial
plans declared. eve have no time now to make
