THE VERDICT IS RENDERED.

With complete returns Of the primary election in
Roosevelt county shown on the unofficial tabulation sheet
at the clerks office, the sentiment of the voters of the
county can again be gagged with special reference to
county issues. The people have spoken and in no uncer-
tain manner. The issues that were raised are, for the
present at least, settled. There is no higher authority than
the electorate. A tremendous majority has expressed
satisfaction with the efficiency and economy of the county
administration as we'll as with the manner in which the
affairs incident to the removal of the county seat to its
permanent location have been managed.
The opposition, late in the campaign, made a surpris-
ingly bitter assault on certain candidates, backed up by a
weak array of charges. It was just one more stand in a
futile effort to "come back and get control of some of
the more important offices and the legislative delegation.
They failed ANONYMOUSLY. And if ever the forces work
ing together in support of the Clean House idea in county
politics should adopt the methods followed by the Old
Gang, they also will fail and will deserve to fail. The
people are far wiser than they used to be. They are little
impressed by sound or sophistry and difficult to turn from
the course dictated by common sense and the common
welfare.
During the campaign The Herald remarked that it
twas glad of the opportunity to leave the issues to the
judgment and the justice Of the people" The result Of
the primaries, while not final, expresses none the less the
peoples verdict. 1t is hoped that the minority will grace
fully bow.
We can fight and fight hard and long in the right
cause, and will if fighting is necessary. But personally
We believe that the continuation of needless strife, the

is NOT ALL.

He was good and straight and respected for 40 years,
and then
Arthur w. Kent, old and broken, was taken to the
jail at Ann Arbor, Michigan.
He had been schoolmaster, teacher OF history, leader
of a Sunday school class, general helper and adviser to
young ideas. Now he is at the end of things, for, in a
brief two years, he wrecked q lifetime Of honor.
Wife became sick. His salary never had been large,
as seems the sad lot of the school teacher, and grave need
faced him. He fell.
A bogus check was passed. 1t did not save the wife
and it destroyed him. His conscience pricked and he fled
from his crime, fled from himself. Into the far places of
the country he sped, always with the hand of the law
reaching for him.
But he wrote other worthless checks-it was easy to
defraud-but they only relieved the body but not the
soul. His flight became more desperate. Always, always,
the law was but a few steps behind him. Il never knew
happiness in those two years of flight, he says. Il never
knew what it was to live blissfully or sleep soundly. Al
ways fearing, always fleeing"
Now the law has caught him-caught him, an old,
broken, helpless wreck, body and soul. Il have learned
the lesson I have taught so many of my students" he tear
fully says. Education is nothing without moral stabil
ity."
Yes, he has learned the truth too late for himself, but
in time to point a moral for others.
Education is not all. Character must be its COM
panion, for brains that know not the leash of mortality
only make crime more hideOus.
Poor, wrecked, old Kent knows this now and the
he can do with what is left of him is to offer himself
as a terrible example-Heena Independent.

MOLLER TALKS ON
INDIAN PROBLEMS
PROPOSES TO ORGANIZE THE
INDIANS FOR GREATER
FARM EFFORT.

Peter Moller, superintendent of
the Fort Peck agency, talked to a
good sized meeting of business men
at the Sherman hotel last Thursday
evening. In the absence of Presi-
dent Huxsol of the commercial club,
H. A. Peglow acted as chairman of
the meeting, which he opened with
a%ppropriat remarks. He called on
Dan Noble to introduce the speaker
of the evening as one familiar with
Mr.. Moller's activities.
Indian Community Clubs.
Stated briefly and in substance,
Mr.. Moller said that his object in adj
dressing the business men was to
acquaint them with his plan for get
ting the Indians of the reservation
headed toward a condition of self
support. He said it was his intention
to have the Indians form an organ
ization in each of their communities
through which they could cooperate
in their agricultural plans. 1t is i'm
portant, he said, that the Indians
take up farming seriously and get
some of their land to producing a
living for them. Some of the Indians
are farming and raising stock sue
ceSSfully at the present n many
I3iole must be encouraged to follow
rapidly approaching when the III
dams will be expected to sustain
thcnse tves.
A Mutual Problem.
Mr.. Moller urged the business
people and white farmers to lend
their Indian neighbors the encour-
agement of their interest, and sug-
gested that the whites attend the
Indian meetings and help in what
ever way offered. The Indians nat
urally are under still greater handi-
caps than the white farmers and will
need the friendly assistance Of their
more experienced neighbors. If the
Indian does not become s~elf-sustain-
ing, Mr.. Moller said, the time is
coming when he will become a public
charge, so it is a matter of mutual
benefit that a start be made in solv-
ing the problem.
Rev. Sidney A. Walker wa called
on and responded with an excellent
talk in harmony with the spirit and
purpose of the meeting.

HUNGRY LAND CANNOT FEED
CROPS

Before tackling days work mos
OF us want good breakfast. And We
are ready for a good dinner and a good
supper before the day is over. The
harder the work, the more food we
want and need. Why? Because work
uses up our energy, and food creates
new energy with which we can do
more work.
1t is the same way with land. If we
want land to work for us, we must
give it something to work on. For the
fertility of the soil-its power to pro-
duce crops, is no more inexhaustible
than our energy. The power of the
soil to produce crops depends largely
upon its ability to supply available
plant food to the crops. 1t cannot sup
ply plant food if the plant food is not
there. And if the crops do not get
plant food, they are going to be liza
bll1ty rather than an asset.
Every farm product that is sold off
the farm-every ton of hay, every
bushel of grain, every head of live
stock, every quart of milk-takes it's
toll of the land.
Authorities differ somewhat as to
Ju0I AOW nuCu P1duJ lOOu Is Illus re-
moved from the farm.
They agree however that the mat
ter is of the highest Importance. The |
story they tell is of significance to
every farmer who is in the business to |
make money-"Don't let your factory
run down." Plant food, humus and
lime are to the farm what the print
ng presses are to a metropolitan
newspaper. They constitute its pro-
lucing power. A factory that does not
replace its broken, worn or
obsolete parts, cannot produce eff
iently. A farmer who drains his farm
# plant food, cannot produce high
telding, high-quality crops-he can
ot make money. !

PENNSYLVANIA R.R.
EXPLAINS TRUCK USE
'Peddler Freight Trains" Superseded

Explanation Of the new policy Of
the Pennsylvania Railroad of using
motor trucks instead of ''peddleT
by Robert c. Wright, general
freight trains" where possible, is
made by Robert C. Wright, general
traffic manager of the Pennsylvania
System. He says:
1T is evident that a freight train
can not compare with light vehicle
sRBle to move at high speed. Local
Il eight service handling small pack
ages has become an increasing burden.
Just how big a territory this plan
should include, economically speak
ing, 1 am unable to say Off-hand, but
probably it would extend twenty-five
miles from any large city.
1.-THE tonnage of this class handled
by the trucks has been constantly
growing and ours going down, but we
have been compelled to operate the
same number of trains and crews, to
bear al 1.-The cost of operation, taxa
tion, and a dozen other things. So
we decided to select three busy Sec
tions of road and see what we could
do with a combined service. Results
have been even better than anticipa-
ted, but it is a little early to reach
conclusions. If the plan proves practi-
cable in every way, it may be the fore
runner of a motorized service for all
our small local shipments. The public
is not affected in any way.
There are many economics which
do not appear at first sight. If wo-
man in Philadelphia wants to ship her
piano down to a station on the Will
mington lines, she must first buy a
packing case worth S12, and then the
piano is handled eight times. But she |
can telephone a trucking company,
throw an old quilt or two over the
piano, and have it moved to its desti-
nation. She makes considerable per-
sonal saving, and large economic
loss is avoided.
1--WE have no intention Of going into
the truck business. We wish the truck
ing companies would take all of this
small business. There is no pOrspect
of such an arrangement for long
time to come, however, because it is
not probable that we could be reliev-
ed of our responsibility as carriers at
his stage of development. Yet it is
1eyond question that house-to-house !
by truck of small parcels in :
,ongested territory is a better plan
han shipment by railroad, or rail and :
ruck, with additional truck deliveries
made necessary at either end" =

CONCRETE SATISFIES
AS ROAD MATERIAL
Stone and Cement Makes Long Wear
ing Highway

Concrete roads, properly made with
good Portland cement, offer consider
able choice of basic materials, accord
ing to the local market, and a salts
factory long wearing road when COM
pleted. For suburban and rural roads
concrete is an ideal road material.
Concrete consists of a mixture of wa
ter, cement, sand, and gravel or stone
of many varieties. Engineers call the
sand part the "ine aggregate" and
the pebbles or rock the coarse ag-
gregate." Given clean aggregates and
good cement and the road when finish
ed will be durable, dustless, easily
maintained, and smooth.
The two disadvantages, cracking
and breaking at the edges, can both
be overcome. Cracking, a result of
temperature changes, and stress does
little or no harm if the crack is
prcAntly filed. Proper shoulders at
the edge of the road eliminate the
dangerous depression caused by the
earlier neglect Of this part of the road
building, before it was understood
how water and weather wear away
the edge-protecting earth.
The two general types of concrete
pavement are known as one-cOurse |
and two-course pavement. The for |
mer consists of one course of con-
crete, all of which is mixed in the
same proportion and composed Of the
same kind of materials, while the lat
ter consists of two courses, usually
mixed in different proportions and
containing different kinds of aggre-
gate. The one-course pavement is
much simpler to construct than the
type.
In the two-course type of construc-
ion local coarse aggregate of average
n low wearing qualities is used in the
over course and imported aggregate :
With high resistance to wear is used
n the top course. If the only materials 2
ocally available for use as aggregate
re of inferior quality, it is more eco h
omical to use them for aggregate in n
be lower course of two-course
avement and import aggregate for s
ne wearing course than to employ a II
ne-course pavement and import all
ne aggregate. c

WANTS GOVERNMENT
TO TAKE OVER ROAD
Bankhead National Highway Military
Asset

Statistics gathered from State High
way Commissioners, Chambers OF
Commerce, Automobile Clubs, and
others have been compiled by Bank
head National Highway officials as
ammunition in the campaign to have
the road taken over by the Nation, to
build its less improved portions and
maintain it in perpetuity.
The Bankhead National Highway
Association, which has gathered the
data, states that committee of lead
ing citizens from each of the thirteen
States the highway traverses will go
to Washington and urge the passage
of the measure.
The Bankhead National Highway
has been recognized by the Federal
Government. The board of officers
who accompanied the Trans-Continen-
tai Military Convoy which traVersed
the road from Washington to San Die
go across the continent, stated it was
the most feasible military route
across the country. Beginning at the
zero milestone at Washington the road
goes through thirteen States-Virgin-
ia, North and South Carolina, Georgia,
Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Ar
