tary Hyde declared. remember that In
the last analysis the responsibility for
that Government, which is controlled
by the representatives whom we dele
gate to its Congress, rests upon us, It's
citizens back in the States"
The growth of the overhead Of Fed
eral, State and community govern
ments. Mr. Hyde continued, Is based
upon the proposition that the Govern
ment must do everything for the citl-
zen," and, he asserted, the time is
now that the citizen must do something
for the Government"
Secretary Hyde declared that there
is a strong wave of socialism through
out the Nation. Socialism. he said,
quoting its foremost advocates, Is op-
posed to the State, which governs, the
present marriage system, which pre-
serves the home, and proposes the de-
struction of the real property system
The fundamentals upon which the
Constitution is built, he said, are re-
ligion, morality and knowledge.
There's a sharp cleavage between
the doctrines" Secretary Hyde assert
ed. Socialism. then, is opposed to the
very fundamentals for which the Con-
stitution stands. There's that dan
gerous doctrine abroad in this Nation
today. That doctrine-socialism-
means a downward course, on which
America should never take the first
step"
Secretary Hyde introduced a pleas
antry with regard to the current politi-
cal situation when he told the assem-
bled Knights that he could not go so
far as to saw am pleased" to be seated
near a person who, mot for religious
reasons, or personal reasons, had
feared" Gov. Ritchie was seated four
places from him at the speakers table,
and the knights laughed.
But" Secretary Hyde said good
humoredly, II don't fear him as much
today as I did several weeks ago, which
proves that every dark cloud has a
silver lining"
Gov. Ritchie, who spoke later on the
program, called the unveiling OF the
Cardinal Gibbons statue the culmlna-
ton of something which began in
Maryland 800 years ago" He reviewed
the establishment in Maryland Of rell-
gicus tolerance and cited historic cases
| in which that tolerance was upheld by
! Catholic tribunals in support OF ad-
herents to other faiths.
mo mere statute" Gov. Ritchie de-
clared, can guarantee tolerance. Toll
erance can exist only where a spirit
for it lives, and the spirit Of tolerance
did live with the Calverts of Mary

Continuing, the Maryland Governor
compared Cardinal Gibbons willing

his broad tolerance with those same
traits in the Calverts.
Citing the depression. Gov. Ritchie
warned the members of the order tc
avoid "panic-born panaceas."

POTOMAC DRAGGED
FOR CANOE VICTIM
Police Hold Two Companions
of Theodore Royce, Who
Feared Water.

Police were dragging the rocky bottom
of the Potomac about a mile below
Chain Bridge today for the body of
Theodore Royce, %, who had refused
to venture out on the water since boy
hood. but overcame his fears long
enough to embark on his first canoe trip
late yesterday.
Pending the recovery of the body, au-
thorities were holding two friends of
Royce who were with him when their
frail craft capsized, John F. williams,
26, 1900 block of Newton street, and
James E. Hilleary. %, of Fort Myer
Heights, Va. The men we're being de-
tanned as possible witnesses should an
inquest be necessary after the recovery
OF the body.
Afraid Of Excursions.
Royce, a glazier, living at 1859 Owen
place northeast, had often expressed
fear of the water to members of his
family. He carried the prejudice to the
extent OF declining to go on cruises on
the Potomac in excursion steamers.
Go ahead" Royce told his father.
I'm going to stay on terra firma where
I belong"
According to witnesses, the three pad
died the canoe upstream toward the
Virginia shore. They had been on the
river only about Is minutes, police were
told, when a youth on shore, Jack
Aiken, 13. 1900 block of Holbrook street
northeast, saw one of the men stand
upright in the canoe.
The boat quickly overturned, plung-
ing all three into the water. Police
received conflicting versions of what
happened thereafter. Royce's father
was told his son sank Immediately and
did not reappear, while the witness on
the shore said he attempted to swim
to the Virginia bank before he sank.
River Bottom Uneven.
The accident occurred about o'clock.
Harbor police, notified by Aiken, ar
rived soon afterward and continued
their search long after dark, returning
to the scene this morning.
The river bottom at that point Is
pitted with rocky ravines and the water
is from 80 to so feet deep, making
dragging difficult.
Royce is survived by. his mother and
father, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Royce, and
sister, Mrs. Helen Louise Hicks.

VIDA BANK CLOSES

The First State Bank of Vida
was forced to close it's doors a few
days ago and is now in the hands
of the state banking department,
with Rodney Fl. Kurth, liquidating
agent in charge. 1t will be recalled
that the bank closed temporarily
in October 1881, but was able to
reopen after a few days. At that
time %depositors signed agreements
not to withdraw their money from
the bank. The bank resumed oper-
atoms and was to pay the depos-
itors POO this Fall, 300 in 1888
and 500 in 1884.
This plan would probably have
been successful under normal con
ditions, but it could not have been
anticipated that farm commodity
prices would drop so low as they
have this year. Payments on loans
were out of the question, and hence
the bank, after serving the Vida
community well and faithfully for
many years, has been forced to
suspend.

the most astounding galaxy of
stars and players ever seen in a
motion picture. Each of the five
principal roles is filled by an out
standing screen star. The exotic
Greta Carlo plays the Russian
dancer, Grusinskaya, who lives on
the acclaim of her audiences. John

nobleman whose love for the dane
prevents him from turning

Joan Crawford is cast as the Sc
ductive st~enographer who is will
ing to sell herself for whatever
she is worth to the industrial mag
nate, Preysing, portrayed by Wal

John H. Coffey's "Old Reliable
store on the corner has put on a
Selling Out" sale that takes rank
with the biggest sales ever staged
in the town. A clean sweep will be
made of $4,000 worth of mems
and boys clothing and shoes.
w. C. Troxey and Lee Short, rep
~resenting the Troxel Sales System
of Miles City, are in charge of the
big merchandising event and show
themselves to be experts in the
business. The stocks on sale have
been attractively displayed and
plainly priced in plain figures. Mr..
Coffey himself guarantees that
every price quoted will be main
tanned throughout the sale, low as
they are. Such prices have seldom
been offered and result from the
exceedingly low prices of raw ma
terials and over-stocks in factor
les.
To get the news of the big bar
gains before the people surround
ing Wolf Point the sales managers
are using two pages of display
space in The Herald and nearly
$500 reprints from this display for

HOOVER PLEDGES
AID TO VICTOR
CONGRATULATIONS SENT TO
F. D. ROOSEVELT ON
VICTORY

PALO ALTO, Calf, Nov. 8, 1913:
Herbert Hoover awoke today a:
the first president of the United
States defeated for reelection since
1912, with his plans for the i'm
mediate future uncertain, but stand
ing upon a promise to President
elect Roosevelt to dedicate myself
to every possible helpful effort"
The chief executive today had
several plans for his next course
of action under consideration. He
was considering seriously boarding
his special train tonight for a rec
ord breaking trip back to the White
House.
Several of his aides, n of whom
described him as "the tiredest man
in America, have been urging Mr..
Hoover to take a rest. A battleship
trip through the Panama canal has
been suggested but the president
himself has not decided finally as
to what he will do after today.
Struggling returns from tn e
heavy vote in favor of Roosevelt
were still coming into the Hoover
home this morning when the presi-
dent arose
He had announced his concession
of the election to his Democratic
opponent at $40 p. M, Pacific
standard time, last night, in the
midst of a stirring scene surround
ing his home.
Whit a Group of Stanford uni
versity students. on whose campus
he lives, thronged the driveway
of his home, and while a score Of
his neigllbors and friends waited
in the living room, Mr.. Hoover dis
patched from his study the follow
ing telegram to Roosevelt in the
Biltmore hotel in New York:
81 congratulate you on the oppor-
tunity that has come to you to be
of service to the country and I
wish for you a most successful adj
m~inistration. In the common pur-
pose of all of us | shall dedicate
myself to every possible helpful
effort"
Just a little less than four
months after he dispatched that
message he will move from the
House, probably to return
to the same residence from which
be sent it-a home that combines
co%lorfully Moorish and Pueblo arch
lecture and construction, surround
ed by gardens, and carefully trim
ned trees and bushes, and situat-
I'd on the university at which he
was one of the first students to

this evening at the Sherman hotel
palm room. At this time the lucky
shareholders in the cedar chest,
and it's contents will be given the
six prizes provided by the Auxi-
liary. The chest and the DAINTY

COUNTY GOES REPUBLICAN ON
ALL But THREE LOCAL OFFICES
Democrats Elect Danielsen, Cusker and Miller; Re
publicans, Trenne For Legislature And All Local
Officers But Commissioner; Democratic State
Ticket Leads in County Except School Supt.;
Heavy Vote Cast.

Roosevelt County, although nor.
mally heavily republican, polled a
large democratic vote on state and
national officers. Miss Ireland, can
didate for reelection to the office
of state superintendent of schools,
received a comfortable margin in
the county, as she did in the state.
On county and legisls e the re-
suit was mixed. Two precincts were
still missing Thursday evening and
the court house is closed today.
With the exception of a few pre-
cincts, there was a negligible So
ciaIist, Communist and Liberty par
ty vote. The chief result of the
vote on these minor tickets was
to defect votes from one OF anoth-
er of the major party candidates.
About 1900 to 3400 votes were cast.
Art Ryder, Republican, of Froid,
running for state senator to sue
coed the late j. w. Schnitzler, was
defeated by Ted Danielsen, Demo
crat, of Poplar, 1877 to 1887. w.
C. Adams, republican commission
er from the eastern district of the
county lost to John P. Miller, dem
ocrat, by about 100.
The closest race on the ballot
was that for state representative.
Lucy A. Curran, who has served
the county well for three sessions,
lost. as did David S. Nelson, Demo
crat, of Culbertson. M. P. Trenne,
Republican, and Dolly Cusker, Dem
ocrat, both Of Poplar, won by slight
margins. The vote was as follows:
Trenne 1876, Cusker 1865, Nelson
1916, Curran 1888.
