THAT ELECTION

The Courier-News yesterday came
out with a long piece in which it
hailed the recent election as the great
est victory of all time. Just how they
figure it out we are unable to decide.
From the dope we get it was a
decided setback to the league social
lists. Here is the way it figured out:
Judge Christianson elected over
Seth Richardson, nonpartisan. =
The five initiated laws have passed
against the united efforts of the nom
partisans. - Y
The house of representatives has an
independent majority and the senate
had majority of one until they count
ed out Mr.. List in Golden Valley coun-
ty. T+ '5
Minnie J. Nelson was reelected by
a handsome majority over Ruth john
son, her nonpartisan opponent.
Tom Hall is reelected secretary of
state over his nonpartisan opponent.
John Steen is elected state treas
urer over his nonpartisan opponent.
Looking at it from any angle you
want to the league forces got big
drubbing at the polls and the only
thing they got was the governor and
a few minor state officers. The indie
pendents got seventy per cent of the
election. Where does the Courier
News get this big victory stuff.
In addition to that Congressman
George NJ Young was reelected to
congress in a district which was
strong for Frazier and the independ-
mt Ao 0r1f Poe $OVp - I. =
first district by electing o. B. Burt
ness. Independent.
It is to laugh at that big league
victory.
NO CHANCE TO FORGET IT
Even before the vote has been Off
cially canvassed or before the cleo
toral vote has been cast, Senator
Harding is grimly reminded by Will
liam J. Bryan of his problem of re-
conciling two irreconcilable factions. N
Mr.. Bryan says he wants President
Wilson and Vice President Marshall
to resign, after appointing Mr.. Hard
ing secretary Of state, in order that
Mr.. Harding may assume office at once
bring about peace with Germany when
congress convenes, and take the first
steps toward forming his association
Of nations.
It is doubtful if Mr.. Bryan expect
ed his suggestion to be taken serious
". But The Commoner is a shrewd
publicist. He knows as well as any
body, how to catch the public ear, and
he wanted to get before the nation in
rather startling way, the fact that,
as he sees it, Senator Harding is
committed to modified league Of ma

The shell Of the building that is be

house, isNprogressing nicely, the brick
work being several feet above tie
ground on the east side, and nicely
started on the other sides. According
to indications, the new building, when
completed, will be one sof the finest
structures for its purpose ever erect
ed, and will certainly be big factor
over the other building, which has
given considerable trouble when it
rains, the water leaking through onto
the electric machinery and causing
damage. The ideal weather Of the
past month and so far this month has
helped the work along greatly.

Minnesota put it all over Mr.. Town

did Montana, Washington, Oregon and

here in North Dakota, the birthplace
of socialism, and even here we have
given that outfit one of the biggest
jolts it has yet received. Gov Frazier
is reelected by reduced majority.
but he has a legislature elected against
him with an independent majority in
both houses. No more radical legis-
lation can be pulled off by theTown-
ley bunch in North Dakota. In Min
nesota it is gratifying to know that
Congressman Andrew j. Volstead, who
was made the butt of the vests and
was the pet thorn in the flesh for the
Townleyltes-who beat out Volstead
in the primaries by Rev. Qvale has
been elected and the preacher candi-
date is beaten. There will be great
rejoicing all over the country at Vol
stead's reelection. The vets went
after that congressman on account Of
his being father Of the dry law that
was passed by congress. Minnesota
seems to have made clean sweep all
along the line and A. C.. Townley has
been given a severe beating in all

the editor has to do is to sit at desk
six days week, four weeks a month,
and twelve months in year, and edit
such stuff as this:

can-opener slip last week and cut
herself in the pantry. Joe Doe

Black acknowledges he was not in
condition i'm his bout with Scobey
holding the latter too cheap, much
to his regret, but has started train
ing in earnest for his coming match
with the sole desire to wipe out the
past defeat.
Dean has proven himself a good
man in his numerous matches, and
has gone to Endner's saw mill to con-
dition himself for the next two weeks
as this promises. to be bout well
worth the effort, and with both mer
in good condition. as they undoubtedly
will be, there will be large crowd

Auto Trip Witb x.ri.tIon.

Il
On Friday about noon, September 8,
the senior editor, his wife and Mrs.
v. P. Rawalt of Avoca, Nebraska, to-
gether with Verne P. Rawalt, Jr, left
for Paonia, via the Black mesa route.
The trip was delightful until we
reached Curecanti creek where short
age of gas and steep grades, also a
violent shower tied US up at the Ted
VanTuyl ranch Mr.. and Mrs. Van
Tuyl We're friends indeed and took
assisted in getting us over the first
hard bump on the trip to the top.
Some autoists from Hutchinson, Kan,
also aided materially in getting US
over. At Paonia we met many old
friends and enjoyed fine visit with
Mack A. Davis and family On Mon
day morning the editor and his wife
started for Crested Butte over the
new Somerset road and left Mrs.
Verne Rawatt md baby to come home
bv train after prolonging her visit to
Mrs. Davis a day longer. The road
from Paonia to Bowie, indeed to Som
erset is good, but from there ON to
the Beezley ranch no work has yet
been done. From the Beezley ranch
on some splendid work has been done,
apd outside of it being soft, is fine
grade and splendid wide road. At the
foot of Mt. Marcellena, Lizzie refused
to pull through the soft earth any
more, at least she said she could not
and would not pull up the steep pitch
without more cold water and long
rest, so we connected with the Knill
ranch and enjoyed one of the finest
meals we had while away. The next
day efforts to get help were unavail-
ing but we surely enjoyed fine treat
ment from Mrs. Knill and at night
her boy arrived with a span of mules
and I'VE got ready for fresh move,
but in the morning the gods had
made other arrangements. A big rain
storm crested us and so the soft road
bed was changed to deep, sticky mud.
Things looked pretty blue until Mr..
Morgan and a truck, ordered without
our aid, knowledge or consent, by
anxious friends( yes, We seemed to
have few accompanied by Fred Gull
liford appeared from the east. From
that time on things went smoother.
The road was fierce, but the machines
fought nobly and when the top of
the pass was reached, the four inches
of snow which had covered it in the
morning was all gone and the ride
down was delightful. Mr.. Whalen's
bunch of road men have built what
will become one of the scenic high
wavs of the state.
When things go wrong and every
thing seems to be creased for the
occasion it sure is joy to meet up
with people who extend a helping
hand like Mr.. and Mrs. VanTuyl and
Mrs. Knill. If we had nothing to re-
member the trip by except the whole
hearted kindness of these people we
would be glad we took the trip, met
with the troubles and suffered the in
conveniences. The grandest thing in
this life is to meet real kindly peo-
pie, to become acquainted with un-
selfish service and forget for the time
being how damnably selfish and cruel
the world is at times
Outside of soaring Mrs. Verne Ra-
walt into thinking her father and
mother-in-law had met disaster in
the hills. no damage was done.

no other governmental affort was ever &C.

of food upon the market in order to re-
