EARLY TRAIN
Driver Has Narrow
Escape At w e S t
Main Street Cross
ing. In Reedsburg'
Auto Stalled

William Burmeister, who lives
west of Recdsburg, narrowly eS-
capped death Wednesday morning
when his car was smashed to bits
at the West Main street crossing
CT the Northwestern by the morn
ing passenger train.
Mr.. Burmeister attempted to
cross the track ahead of the train
and stepped on the gas. All but
the rear end of the motor reached
the other side when the engine
crashed into it. The car was de-
molished but the driver escaped
injury with severe jolt and
scare. The Reedsburg man ac-
cording to reports has decided that
it is best to give the trains the
RICH of-way.
Stalled On Track
Engineer w. J. Hollenbeck and
Fireman L. p Gerou Wednesday
afternoon were obliged to almost
halt the passenger train that ar
rives here at 2:10 in the after
noon at Devils Lake. The train
was brought almost to stop at
the North End where a car with
seven passengers was apparently
stalled on the track according to
those in the engine. Just before
the train was brought to halt,
however the car was pushed off
the track and the 2:10 sped over
the crossing and on its way to
Baraboo.

friend down at Cordele? Who
was 1t that has howled about the
rotteness and the danger of this

his own political group being
played into the hands of the
Khan, and offers up this: Don't
say anything; Mr.. McAdoo might
object, and it wouldn't be good
craftsmanship on your part
When we said give the khan
a fair chance to prove itself not
a menace, Mr.. Brown howled.
Now we fight to keep the khan
off the throat of the Georgia
body polite and prevent klannism
from being substituted for De-
mocracy in Georgia, and Mr..
Brown bowls. We are not in
favor of setting up new party
IN this state, and we are lust
bad sportsmen enough to protest
against it. We have not said
Mr.. McAdoo was in favor of such
new party, although we cannot
Keep the Cordele editor from
drawing his own conclusions.
A ruthless steam roller has
been run over the Democratic
voters of the state. County or
carnations have been kicked in
to oblivion. AS high-handed a
piece of political trickery has
been played as was ever wit
messed in Georgia, and, of
course, Mr.. McAdoo is fully
cognizant of what is happening
and WHY.

The Macon Telegraph, edi-
torially discussing the rules of
the primary, says the rules will
have to stand because they rep
resent the law of the presiden-
tial primary, adding, however,
This editorial has no reference,
then, to arbitrary interpreted
tions placed upon the rules by
those in charge. If the bosses
haven't "toted" fair, but have
played the McAdoo people into
the hands of the Ku Klux Khan,
it is for the McAdoo forces 70 de-
termine if this deliverance into
the power of the Khan has been
done in accordance with the let
ter (if not the spirit) of the
rules.
Before this thing is over,
some of the good, solid, sound
MeAdoo folks are going to
wish that somebody else had
been allowed to come along-to
help compose a bulwark against
the uninterrupted tide thai may
flow into and overwhelm the con-
vention in the platform writing,
if nothing else.
Later in another editorial the
Telegraph has this to say in re
ply to criticism from the Cor.
dele Dispatch, of which c. f
Brown is editor:
The protest in some sections of
the state is based on the fact
that their county delegations have
been delivered into the hands CT

er ought 10 wake up or take

RICHES

The national wealth of our coun-
try now is about 800 billion dol
lars, according to the way Uncle
Sam figures it, including money,
real estate, autos, homes, farm
animals, mines, oil under the earth,
railroads, etc.
If all this were divided evenly,
there'd only be about $4,000 for ev-
cry man, woman and child. How
much does your combined family
average below or above this fig
ure? An error in the government
estimate is that it doesn't include
the greatest form of national
wealth-man lwer. Without hui

KILLED

Nearly $500 American coal min
ers were killed in 1928, finai
check-up shows. This means that
one miner gave up his life for ev-
cry $4,000 tons Of coaf brought to
the surface.
Fortunately, the death rate
among miners is gradually drop
ping. 1t was reduced almost a
tenth last year. Protective laws,
won after long and intense cam
paigns by newspapers and otheH
agencies, are bringing results.
More than half Of accidental
deaths in and around mines are
due to falls off roofs and coal.
IMPERILED
A crop worth over two billion dol
lars year is imperiled by the
"borer" insect now advancing west
ward into the corn belt.
If foreign nation started fight
ing US to make us pay that much
indemnity year, every one would
rally against it.
Why do we submit tamely almost
indifferently, to insect enemies
while similar onslaughts from rival
nations would start us enthusiast
cally on the warpath? One reason
is that professional patriots, war
bankers, munitions makers and pro-
pagandists can't make large and
sudden fortune rousing the mob
against insects.
