AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT

NJ What might have been a very seri-
GUS accident, occurred Tuesday about
three miles south Of Hazelton. Ell
mer A. Anderson was coming from
the east and turning north to go to-
wards Hazelton, when Frank Heintz-
man, son-in-law Of Jake eJangula, of
Linton. came along from the south in
a Buick Roadster. He was accom-
panied by his wife and little brother
in-law, Chris. He was, travelling at
q high rate Of speed and struck Mr..
Anderson's car a glancing blow, tear
ing off 4 fender, one front wheel and
breaking q spring. Mr.. Heintzman's
car jumped a ditch beside the road.
crashed into q big well-braced fence
post, tearing it off, and then turned
completely over several times before It
stopped Mr.. Anderson, who was un-
hurt, ran over to give assistance. He
helped Mrs. Heintzman and her hus-
band from under the car. Mrs.
Heintzman has a fractured shoulder,
the husband escaped with few bruises.
while little Chris escaped practically
unhurt. That all in the Buick Road
5ster were not killed is a miracle, as
the roadster was smashed and torn
all to pieces.

AMERICAN LEGION, NOTES

The National Convention of the
Legion is now on at Kansas City.
A large delegation from North Dakota
is attending, among whom is F. B.
Streeter, Of the local post, who is one
of the state delegates. Most of the
noted generals Of the World War will
be present, and there will certainly
be big time. The railroads gave
a rate of one cent mile and sleeping
car accommodations We're also reduc-
ed. There will be one of the biggest
parades ever held in the United States
on Wednesday.
The parents of William Hollaar.
who was buried at Hull last week,
presented the local post with the beau
tiful flag that the government sent
with the body. 1t will always be
kept with the other Post property,
and will be handed down to the ones
that take our place when we are gone.
The Post wishes to thank Mr.. Hollaar
for this beautiful flag.
The Commander has been advised
that all numbers up to and including
$500 in the North Dakota bonus have
been called in, and before the year
is up numbers up to 1000 will be
paid without doubt. If your number
is below $500 and YOU have not heard
from it. let the Commander know and
the matter will be looked into.

Johnson Running Ahead
Both Sveinbjorn Johnson and Jo-
sept A. Kitchen, Independent candi-
dates for Attorney General and Com
missioner of Agriculture and Labor
respectively, ran ahead Of the ticket
in some places.
A tabulation of the vote on these
candidates reported thus far was:
johnson 75,704; Lemke, 67,518..
Kitchen, 74,931; Hagan, 67,s18.
It appeared that Johnson would be
high man with Nes:os second and
Kitchen third, but with not a great
difference in their total vote.

trict which put Nestos over the wire.

watched by politicians for their effect
on the future. Congressman George

next year. Mr.. Young pulled out

WORK FOR THE WAR VETERANS
COST $4,000.

Work for the disabled World War
veterans in which s10,000,00O was ex-
pended last year by the American Red
Cross has cost chapters here in North
Dakota more than $4,000. Service
to men in the standing army and navy
as well as ex-service men and their
families is an obligation which the
American Red Cross is pledged to
continue, and for which public support
is asked the Annual Roll Call, which
opens Armistice Day, November 11th,
and continues until Thanksgiving.
The annual cost of discharging this
obligation to ex-service men and
their families is $4,OOO,O00 is excess
of the aggregate receipts of the last
years membership enrolment. The
greater part of this financial respon-
sibility is met by the local chapters,
which spet approximately $7,OO0,OOo
in this work during the last fiscal
year. Throughout the country there
re 2-329 Red Cross chapters still help
ing to solve the veterans problem of
adjusting himself to normal civil
basis.
At the clost of the fiscal year there
were 26.3O0 disabled service men in
the 1892 United States Public Health
Service, contract and other govern
ment hospitals and soldiers homes
This number is increasing at the rate
of 1000 per month.
Thousands of the disabled men re-
ceiving medical treatment, compensa-
.tion and vocational training from the
government started efforts to obtain
them through the local Red Cross
chapter. While disabled men are in
the hospitals or training centers, teh
Red Cross undertaks the safeguarding

ing the year the Red Cross has served

In America the plight of certain
interests is very serious. Farmers
are in a condition bordering on
desperation, as the valne of their
product is only about go per cent
of pre- war days while the price OF
all they buy is two or three times
as high. They can not obtain sui
ficient credits nor are their notes
rediscountable as they run for longer
periods than commercial paper.
The failures in 1919 were 1926.
The markets are filed with unsala-
BILE goods. The south whose econ
omic life is bound up in cotton,
faces economic paralyzation as re-
suit of the fall in price of that COM

Juries. Courts. and Judges

The following sensible editorial
is reprinted from the Philadelphia
Democrat:
Men are losing respect for the.
law. Juries have become chicken
hearted and convictions, where the
facts justify it, are becoming rare.
If man is so unfortunate as to
get his just deserts in court. he can
take a few hundred dollars along
with him and extricate himself
from almost any penal mess in
which he may find himself Retri-
button no longer follows crime.
We build up an intricate legal sys-
tenn. and tax our people to run the
machinery of our courts. but justice
Is not melted out
The editor Of the Democrat said
something to this effect at the
Deemer picnic on the Fourth. He
thought the statement strong. and
that his hearers would not sanction
it. To his surprise a wave of re-
Spouse swept over the audience.
There were mods of approval and
words OF encouragement whispered,
1t is we'll that we think over this
serious question. Ii the purposes
of our courts miscarry and our laws
are wantonly broken or evaded we
shall come to a serious pass. Men
will continue to have less respect
for the law until our courts become
as useless and as obsolete as some
of the old Latin pleadings with
which our ancient practice was en-
numbered.
We have become all too handy
with guns. We are more and more
taking the law into our own hands.
Men avenge their wrongs in person,
and lynchings are all too common.
WhY2 Because men are losing con-
fidence in the courts. Unless juries
do their duty and the officers of
our courts see that the machinery
of our courts run. smoothly and eff
fectively, and the abuse of our par
doning board is not checked, life
will be about the cheapest thing
we have in another generation.
