Lacking C0mnon7Sense Idea
Motorists Who Haze Studied Conditions
Take Issue With Theoretical Judgment

per hour he travels A feet every seq
ond.
If a motorist is driving along r
crowded highway looking into head
lights constantly it is evident that he
is outdriving his headlights a large
part of the time. In time he becomes
fairly well accustomed to the nuisance
with the result that his own head
lights seem to be more effective than
at first, and danger vanishes with i'm
proved vision But it is only the ex-
Eer1enced driver who can analyzs
these conditions and conquer them or
make necessary compensa tions for
them. But even the experienced dri
YER. in mastering such adverse con-
ditionS, runs the risk of an accident
while getting the hang of it. Because
headlights, to be useful, must cast
light enough on roadway obstacles
to reveal their identity, and because
they must illuminate the sides of the
road as well as give clear vision sew
eraf hundred feet ahead it is evil
dent that we have about reached the
limit in the restrictions placed on
lenses. focusing and candlepower. II
the regulations are any stricter than
the latest proposed by the engineers
it won't be safe to drive faster than
90 miles per hour at night. And if
the latest regulations are maintai ined
it is only going to be a question of
time before large proportion of mo-
torists will not be able TO drive safely
al night.
Demand "Light at Any Cost.
Already there are many operators
who are bothered as much by ap-
proved headlights as more expert
enced drivers would be bothered by -
candlepower bulbs behind clear glass
lenses. If the engineers continue 10
try the impossible task of reducing
direct illumination and improving
vision at the same time the idea wi{
suddenly dawn upon us that We must
have light at any cost. Such d process
of increasing the amount of direct
illumination will not only be difficult
but Will be attended by much annoy
ance and many accidents.
Whenever we get into a prediCa-
ment of this sort the thing to do is to
approach il from a new angle With
majority Of motorists claiming that
even though the approved headlights
still cause annoyance there is not
enough light to drive by the only
thing to do is to consider some other
means of lighting the highways.
Indirect Lighting Solution.
That is why many are turning 10
indirect lighting as a solution, with
the spotlight looming as the means.
If any moturst wants to get a new
conception of this lighting PROPOSE
tion he should try the experiment of
driving over a section of dark road

ROOSEVELT COUNTY

James Ostby, who was a candidate

que endorsement for senator in 1920.
when he was defeated by Sen. Henry
Lowe, and who was elected to the
legislature from Roosevelt county in
1922 on the republican ticket with the
league endorsement, and who made
record for himself of 100 per cent
progressive when he voted for all of
the measures to make the big tax
dogging corporations pay their share
Of the taxes and when he voted for
every bill presented for the benefit of
the farmer, including the eight per
cent interest bill and also for the leg

tally women and children in industry,
and for all laws looking to the moral
betterment of society, is the candidate.
Of the farmer-labOr party for state
senator, in Roosevelt County, at the

Frank J. Edwards, Farmer-LabOr
candidate for governor in his speech
in Plentywood Saturday afternoon dis
connected Governor Dixon from the
mines tax measure as the campaign
issue and openly accused the governor
of evasion and deception.
Mr.. Edwards spoke for nearly two
hours in the Kollman building to
good sized crowd of interested men
and women.
In disconnecting the governor and
his administration from the metals
mines tax as an issue Mr.. Edwards
said that, taxation and the cost Of
government under Dixon is not the
paramount issue. 1t has been made
the issue because Of the misrepre-
sensation of Dixon. We should train

treat the present state adninistra-

WIN. COATS FILES FOR SHERIFF
OF ROOSEVELT COUNTY
Prominent Frod Farmers VIII Test Strength Again With
John AndersOn-Campaign Developing Huge Proper
-tiOns Already.

VIM. Coats, prominent farmer of
the FrOid country filed last Monday
his petition as an independent candi-
date for Sheriff of Roosevelt county
at Wolf Point with Clerk & Recorder
Hardie last Monday.
A surprisingly large number of
voters signed Coats petition and his
candidacy is being favorably received
by the farmers of the east and as we'll
as by the railrOaders at Wolf Point.
In a few hours a petition with several
pages was filled at Wolf Point. One
petition with over a hundred names
on it that had been secured in a few
hours was stolen by some partisan Of
the present sheriff in order to inter-
fere with Coats filing, but Coats had
names to burn.
Seldom if ever a candidate coming
in to a campaign at this late date
has met the spontaneous support as
has responded tc the candidacy of
VIM. Coats.
Mr.. Coats is a married man with a
splendid family. He is a man of
ability and courage and if elected will
be the sheriff and he will see that
/ SOIllC pICJGllS6 Is ulduG dI enforcing
the law in Roosevelt county and he
promises that if he is elected sheriff
that he will give the taxpayers of
Roosevelt service as well as economy.
Four years ago Mr. Coats with the
endorsement of the nonpartisans lea
/ que came nearly being elected on the
/ Democratic ticket and two years ago
/ he ran again on the Democratic ticket
when the present incumbent was the
candidate with the nonpartisan league
endorsement and was only fcar hun
dred votes behind, receiving 100
votes to 2O36, making a remarkable
showing. This year Mr.. Coats will
have the united support Of the farm
er-labor forces and he will be elected
The Roosevelt county voters should
look first for the name Of VIM. Coats
for sheriff in the Independent column
and vote for him.

23O Pounds

New York, Jan. 4.-On Friday, Dec.
2S, the A. /. Hart & Co. 5, 10 and %
cent store, the largest store of its kind
in Harlem, was taken over by receiv-
ers on an Involuntary plea of bank
ruptcy. This marked the passing of
another great enterprise undertaken
by members of the race on cO-Opera-
tive basis. 1t was founded year ago
when Mr.. Hart, the manager, succeed
ed in getting enough capital through a
syndicate method to float the business
and form corporation.
According to information given out
by the manager on the day that pro-
ceedings We're started against the firm,
the store has fought losing battle due
to Indifference of those upon whom it
depended and for many days had been
losing upwards of $40 daily. Every eff
fort was made by those in charge to
stem the crash, but it was impossible
to hold out against the great overhead.
At the time that deputies were TAX
ing charge of the property members of
the stockholders were holding a special
meeting in Montserrat hail. 207 West
137th street. Mr.. Hart, who did not ar
rive until late hour. apologized for
his hardness by explaining that the
store had been seized just as he was
about to close for the day and he had
been detained making a report to the
receivers. He then went on to explain
that he had done everything in his
power to make the business successful
but that conditions We're against him
At the close of his talk the stockhold-
erst adopted n resolution to the effect
that they did not hold their manager
at fault for the state of affairs and
that they were planning a banquet in
his honor for the very, near future
They also went so far as to assure Mr.
Hart that they stood ready to back him
in another similar project if he cared
to undertake one.
When all reports were made and all
outstanding debts We're checked up
Mr.. Hart assured the men that he be
lieved it possible that they would re
ceive at least a part of their money
back. At the close of the meeting
many of the stockholders hastened to
assure their president personally OF
their confidence in his integrity and
honesty.
