GOOD HIGHWAY
STEP IS TAKEN
BY OFFICIALS
Douglas County Board of Com
missiOners Acts to Provide
Good Roads in County

Douglas, June 10-The county com
missioners Of Ward county took a
long step forward in the matter Of
providing highways throughout the
entire county last week by the adop-
ton of a prehensive road build
ing program that effects every town.
ship in the county.
Some time ago County Surveyor
H. C. Frahm prepared plan for
township roads to be built by the
county that is about the most per-
feet plan that could be thought Of.
This plan provides for at least six
miles of county road in each town.
ship in Ward county, said road
leading from somewhere to some
market town, all Of the stretches Of
road connecting SO as to make per-
feet network of highways that will be
built under contract, and along plans
and specifications little short Of those
used for government aid roads.
For some years the county has been
levying $4,000 to $4,000 annually for
highways within the county. For
some little time this money has been
appropriated in the various commits
sioner districts on a $3.50 basis with
the townships. with the result that the
townships that would meet this county
aid would get more good road while
the townships that were backward in
improving their highways did not get
any county help. Under the plan
adopted this week every township
will get at least six miles of road as
stated regardless of the fact that they
do not cooperate with the county
but it is expected by the county COM
missioners that the township officers
will then build decent roads to these
trunk line roads, which in turn con-
meet with the state and federal aid
roads.

The third day of the convention
opened with the party machinery for
the present at least, steadily dead
locked. There has emerged from end
less negotiations behind scenes no
agreement either as to a presidential
| candidate or even a tentative draft
of vital planks in the platform on
which the party will stand.
Over night the league of nations
issue has been swept suddenly upward
to a position of over-shadOwing i'm
pOrtance, almost of menace in party
councils. 1t was the rock on which
the special harmonizing sub-com-
mittee on platform split after hours
OF sleepless labor toward cOmpro-
mise.
Unable to agree on any declaration
proposed to be incorporated in the
platform the committee adjourned
long after midnight. A disagreement
report from the sub committee faced
the full committee on resolutions
when it assembled at 9 a. m. today to
take up the task.
Meanwhile the convention itself
must mark time. No real progress
could be made with it's work
When the resolutions sub-commit-
tee went into session again this morn
ing the league Of nations plank still
threatening party split. A tentative
foreign relations plank was under con-
sideration opposing treaty without
reservations but favoring ratifications
with American rights safeguarded.
This plank was framed after all
night conferences after which Sena-
tor Murray Crane, leading the mild
reservation group, presided. 1t con-
tanned in substance the declaration
submitted by Senator Crane yesterday
and was not accepted by the commit
tee.

After Long Trip

Mandan, n. D., June 10.-"The out
look IS tine,'' is the CHEEKY word sent
back from the northern part Of the

gress from the third district.
Mr., Norton is making a whirlwind
campaign throughout the district,
touring by auto, and is averaging two
speeches a day He has made Wash.
burn, Glenburn, Portal, Columbus,
Fortuna, and Ambrose, and will con-
tinue on this route until Sunday. On
that day he will be the principal
speaker at a big Legion picnic at
81 am confident,' declares Mr. Nor
ton in speaking of the reception that
is everywhere rendered him, that
the league is losing strength. Probably
not so much because the farmers are
losing faith in their alliance. as be-
cause they are awakening to the fact
that even though they do have an
organization, they must have able
and experienced men in the seats Of
power. I do not believe that they
are satisfied with the records of their
chosen officials for the past two years,
and am confident that this years
election is going to show big
change"
The Norton campaign is by far the
strongest being waged in the third
district, and predictions are every
where made that P. D. Norton will
lead the anti-Townley field in this
section.

RICHTER AND
BLAKE MAKING
BRAVE FIGHT
Two Men Terribly Injured in
Explosion Holding Their
Own in Hospital
DYNAMITE CAPS EXPLODED
Fellow Workmen Make Wild
Drive, Binding Wounds
on the Way

Guy Blake and Charles Reichter arc
making a brave fight for their lives in
the Bismarck hospital.
These two men, terribly injured in
an explosion of dynamite caps yes
terday afternoon, were thought at
first to have no chance of recovery.
They are reported in very serious con-
dition today, but are holding their
own.
The desperate efforts made by fel-
low Workmen to save the two men,
which included sixty miles of driving
in automobiles with the throttles wide
open, may yet be successful.
Working on Road
The two men were engaged in work
ing with county road crew about
eleven miles southwest of Wing. They
had finished lunch and were prepar-
ing to resume work One of them
Blake-picked up a box of dynamite
caps. Dynamite was used to blast out
rocks ahead of a grader. The caps
had just been brought out by l.. H.
Knowles of Wing.
Fellow workmen heard a terrific
explosion and saw dirt and dust
thrown high in the air The two men
lifted off their feet by the force OF
the explosion, were thrown fiat on
their faces on the ground
1t is believed that spontaneous com
hlrc nyr1ncinr NhiJc In
cOncussion is necessary to explode
dynamite, it is said that the caps may
be eploded by ignition. There were
about fifty small caps of terrific pow
er in the box.
Thrown TO Ground
When fellow workmen reached the
two men they found them in horri-
BILE condition. -.... .~.
Blake's hands were blown off, his
eyes put out, his face and body lasc-
Grated. He is single, "a years of age
and a former serviceman. He is a
brother of Frank Blake, and was we'll
known in Bismarck.
Reichter is a farmer, 81 years old
and has wife and son. One hand
was blown off, and his face lascer-
ated.
Taken to Regain
Immediately they were put in the
automobile of Mr.. Knowles, who
drove at fast speed to Regan, about
, twelve miles away, where first aid
was rendered. After Dr. Thompson
dressed their wounds. they were put
in separate automobiles and wild
drive to Bismarck, As miles away was
begun.
When the men were picked up off
the ground they were unconscious, but
later recovered consciousness.
'Are my hands and my eyes gomez"
was Blake's first question. And
Reichter, too, asked first about his
eyes and his hands.
During the drive to Bismarck, over
rough roads, the men in the cars
Mr.. Knowles, James Ashlock, Harry
Diamond, Oliver Void, Emil Peipkorn
and George Peipkorn-kept the men
as comfortable as possible.
eve never saw men with as much
nerve all of them said.
Showed Much Nerve
Blake declared he would recover if
they got him to a hospital quickly
enough.
On the way here the wounds began
to bleed, and one man tore his coat
into shreds to make tourniquet. An
other used an inner-tube to bind a
wound.
They reached the hospital in the
early afternoon and all attention pos
sible was given them.

There is not a church or school
house in the entire community. IN
the little town of Krem the only
damage done was the leveling of the
school house and church and the
breaking of trees.
Among the farms that were swept

Accordingly, the lover of his
people will notice the insufficient
cy of self-control among US. Es-
pecially the rabbi as Jewish
spokesman often sees, if he OBJ
serves carefully, the fear of self
expression, the keeping under
cover of deep-seated convictions,
ideas and ideals. We are already
in possession of the boon of ply
steal or political liberty; but
have we as yet attained that
freedom of the wilbur moral
freedom-to stand out boldly for
our genuine principles? 1t is an
old cry that too many of us ever
fear, what will the Gentiles
say?" Especially in matters con-
corning our inner life, we fire.
quently subject ourselves to the
whims, opinions and prejudices
of our neighbors. Like the adol-
escent boy or girl aping the part
of the adult, so We in our imma-
turity are too prone to initiate
the ways of those about us. In
regard to our spiritual outlook,
we fail to assert the moral free
dom of vigorous life. And as a
consequence We ever expect our
ministers to act their part well
in the additional capacity as
emissaries to the world, and to
make the expressions of our
faith pleasing especially to those
outside of the Synagog. For in
no far-fetched sense, we view our
rabbis as Ambassadors to the
Gentiles.
By the side of the regency of
a.
the political and social changes
in our lives so powerfully affect
ing us, is the further fact that
the world knows so little about
US. Paradoxical as it may seem,
though we are in and of the
world, yet it is woefully ignor-
ant of US. Not only the proven
bal men on the street, but also
the so-called elite have but the
faintest familiarity even with
the dominant ideas and funda-
mental principles of modern Jew
ish life. They are neither inter
ested in, nor have they the ready
means to learn about them. We
who live in a non-Jewish world
cannot but learn something
about our neighbors; but they
who live in an overwhelming
Christian environment have not
the incentive to inform them
selves of US. Moreover, in the lit
erature and history we study at
school, there is embodied a not
