H COUNTY TICKET

Apart from any questions in the national and state cam
paign, Sheridan county must make decisions which will effect
its own security and well being. During the present county
administration the treasury of the county has been robbed OF
SlO6 OOO. 90. the sheriff has travelled, on what business tor
the county we do not know, something over 4u,OUU miles
at the rate of lOc per mile, since January hrst, w and
collected for this jaunt around the universe the sum OF $4,-
O2o. 81; a murder was committed in the north Raymond coun-
try which upset the whole country. but without any great
effort on the part of the sheriff to apprehend he murderers;
of the sheriff; a Comertown store robbed twice, as well as
a Dagmar store and numerous other crimes committed with
the criminals still not apprehended and in a position to
continue their nefarious occupation. Is it any wonder that
the taxes are high when the public is forced thru inefficiency
and possibly worse to contribute to such losses and extrava-
gance.
The county has a serious problem before it at the COM
ing election. The people will need all the information they
can get, and all the discrimination they can use with the ut
most watchfulness, and the greatest apprehension OF conse-
ouences. There is no voter of the county that has not full
knowledge of the crimes that have been permitted to go un-
punished during the past two years. Sheridan county Is now
irving to escape from conditions which have damaged and
scandalzed it, with office holders who have permitted bawdy
houses, bootleg and gambling joints to operate without IN
reference to this lawless and d~isordedly element.
They can only be destroyed by the defeat OF politicians
who would continue them.
On another page of this issue we are putting before you
the candidates for the various offices OF the county that
should receive your wholehearted support, each one OF whom
Is thoroughly qualified and who will give the public what
it is entitled to receive from its servants-honesty, efficiency
and economy.

INITIATIVE MEASURE NO. 81

AS citizens of Montana we shall be called upon to vote
on election day for or against Initiative Measure No. 81.
This measure proposes to place on the statute books of the
state the national law for the enforcement of prohibition. 1t
would give Montana the same law that California now has.
1t would vest the courts of the state with jurisdiction over
cases arising from the violation of the provisions of the
Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead act. And the duty
is imposed upon all courts. county attorneys, sherifs, juries.
magistrates and peace officers of the state to enforce the law.
Since the election in November. 1926. when our liquor laws
were repealed, Montana has had no law providing for the
enforcement of prohibition. Our officers in the state from the
Governor down have been in the position of having sworn
that they would support, respect and defend the Constitution
of the United States, without statutory provisions for carry
ing out such an oath. Initiative MEASURE No. 81 would remove
from our state the stigma arising from this situation.

THE LITERARY DIGEST POLL

The October 9th issue of the Literary Digest shows
Hoover as receiving g. per cent of the votes cast and Smith
ISL per cent, showing that Hoover has gained a trhle over
the figures given out in the previous issue.
This weeks poll shows Hoover ahead in every state ex-
cept Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi land South Carolina.
While the average Republican does not expect Hoover to
carry the South it is appreciated that the Democratic major
tiles in the southern states will be materially reduced. North
Carolina is claimed by the Republicans and it would not be
carried.
Some papers still question the value OF the poll as an
indication Of the November election. In the face OF the IVA
forecast by this paper that is difficult to understand.
The vote as indicated by this poll in Chicago, shows
Hoover receiving 90, 1863 and Smith 70,76o; New York City
Hoover lO3, 847, Smith 5000 and Philadelphia Hoover
90, 4o4 and Smith 48, l72.
These figures indicate a strong trend in the direction of
Republican victory.

Editorial Comment
While We've Got Summerall-Use Him
lChicago Tribunel

Maj. Gen. Charles p. Summera chief Of
staff of the United States army, will be remenl-
bered in American military history as the man
under whose direction the land defenses Of the
country were modernized following the world
war. As combat leader, he has Weakened the
army out of it's dozy ancestry worship anu
kept the military wheels moving ahead during
period when the country wished to loll in
prosperity and renewed deluson Of no more
war. His latest achievement was to set the
army on the path all modern armies must TO-
low-toward machine power and away from
horse power and sheer man power.
Unfortunately, Gen. Summerall will not hold
office indefinitely. He will be replaced in the
course of events and no one knows who his
successor will be- 1t may be another combat
man, in which case the army will be fortunate !;
or it may be one of the chair warming brigade
who will permit the army to slump back into
shoe polishings and red tape. The point is
that Gen. Summerall should be used while he
is there to use.
Now is the time for congress to appropriate
for the national defense, while a fighting SOL
der is in the position to see that money ap-
propriated for the army is used to develop
the army as fighting machine.

The Basketball Tournaments
(Eargo Foruml

North Dakota this week comes to three i'm
portant State basketball tournaments The
high school event will be held at Mandan on
Friday and Saturday, with fifty-six Players
representing Valley City, Mandan, Hettinger
Grand Forks. Rolla, Williston, Bowbells and
I high school contest will be held at Valley City,
with fifty-six more players competing and
the State independent tournament will be held
at Cando, with eleven teams, selected from over
seventy-five entries in Statewide elinlinations
involved. Last week, eleven district indpend-
ent tournaments brought more than five hum
dred players into action, and the finals of the
district and consolidated high schools played
then made total of more than two hundred
fifty games.
These tournaments will hold the interest,
not only of students throughout the State, but
of all those parents who have children in
school whether old enough for participation or
actually participating in basketball. In few
years, basketball has become the outstanding
sport in grade and high school circles This
is due to several reasons. It is hard for man?
of the smaller schools to have football teams
Then, too, the basketball season is longer
coaches are easier to obtain and the smaller
schools can develop teams that can compete
with the larger ones successfully.
Basketball is an excellent thing for the stu
dents. Besides the physical exercise, it is q
great factor in the development of character
and mind. It means many outside contacts,
new experiences, new scenes, competition. It
keeps the participants mentally and physi-
cally alert, sharpens their faculties and teaches
them to plan and lead.
The things they learn in daily practice ard
in competition with teams in their districts are
enhanced by the state tournaments. Not all
the teams have opportunity to compete in the
finals, but the next year brings another chance
to get there, and consequently the tournament
is constant challenge, yearly touchstone for
all. In that alone, it is worth while, but it is
doubly worth while in the experience it gives
those players who come to it. It is the friend
lest kind of competition, with craftsmanship.
cleanliness, manhood and character demanded
of all those who take part.
No wonder the people Of North Dakota are
50 interested in the basketball tournaments,
then.

Washington, March 1.-THE Box
bill to restrict Mexican immigration
and protest against the national or
igins provision of the immigration
Act is before Congress and immi-
grafton affects the employment
problem, so here's a little ammuni-
ton for such occasion as conversa-
ton swings to the general subject.
There were 1886, 900 new alien immi-
grants admitted to the United States
last year. This was more than the
$4,000 admitted in 1925 and the
100000 who came in 1926. It was
more than in any year in the 1858
period although the quota restriction
act was not passed until 1924.
But nearly half the 3S5, 900 were
Canadians and Mexicans, who are
not subjected to quota restrictions.
From the restrictionist's point of
view the number compared very IA
vorably with 100000 new immi-
grants admitted in 1913 and 1914.
When the quota act was passed,
about 100000 immigrants had ar.
rived in the previous Is years de-
spite . great falling off in five
"war" years. More than $4,000, 900
immigrants have come to US in the
last 100 years.
Last year we received $1,000 Cam
adam immigrants and $1,000 Next
can immigrants. Nearly 10000
came from Europe, principal con-
tributors being Germany with $4,000,
ireland with $4,000, Great Britain
with $4,000, Italy with 1900 and
Scandinavia with 1850. Most of
the protest against the national orr
gins clause, which was postponed
by Congress for . year instead Of
becoming effective in 1927, was that
it would boost the British and cut
down German, Irish and Scandi-
navian quotas.
There were $4,000 male immi-
grants and 141,012 females, about Is
per cent being children.
There were $4,000 skilled workers
and $4,000 professional persons.
Harry E. Hull, commissioner
general Of immigration, remarks
that the new arrivals are spreading
more evenly over the country than
ever before. Once they concentrat-
ed in congested eastern cities: now
there is . marked drift into the
middle and far west. Subtracting

Gaining on Disease

The leaders of the medical profession still
have a number of problems to solve; but over
many of their old enemies they are asserting
an ever-increasing mastery.
Figures issued by the United States Public
Health Service show that 1927 saw the typhoid
fever rate sink to lower figure than ever be-
fore. In that year there were recorded only Is
cases Of typhoid per 100000 nhabitants-less
than half the number reported in 1917.
There are many diseases against which med
ical science at present can do little. But it is
becoming apparent that the dread typhoid
fever is one Of those maades that eventually
can be made practically unknown.
