(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER (Incorporated) i CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON The Softening Process Seth W. Richardson, assistant at-/ torney general of the United States, was sent out from Washington to strengthen the faltering political morals of the North Dakota elec- torate and herd the hungry voters into the Republican fold again. But unless he has vastly more luck than was apparent in his appearance here Monday night, the result will be a dismal failure an¢ he had better hurry back to Washington before he makes the situation—already bad from the Republican standpoint— considerably worse. In the first place, Mr. Richardson should re-write his speech, or at Teast he should re-learn it. The writ- ten speech, presented in advance to the newspapers, was much better material, even though less interest- ing, than the one which he actually gave. It was less labored and its inaccuracies and misstatements were couched in more subtle terms. Coming from a man who has ac- quired a reputation for forceful presentation of a case, the speech he actually gave was an amazing thing. | It lacked the characteristics which| one would expect Mr. Richardson to, bring to it, i But some commentators sadly ex- Pressed the view that Mr. Richard- Son had been subjected to a “soften- ing” process in Washington. That he was no longer the hunter of big} game, animal political, who once roamed these verdant prairies. They feared, after hearing him, that the! flesh pots of Washington had vitiat- ed the power and political virility of | the man who twice ran for the su-| preme court bench in this state and} who occasionally was mentioned as a progressive candidate for governor. It was a great deal as though the} fruit of success had done him ill; that his appointment to a place of} power in Washington, recognition after long years of disappointment, had changed the man citirely, | The old Seth Richardson would! not have laid traps for himself as he did here Monday night. He would not have, for example, denied that the spirit with which the farmer! views his problem is important, as alleged by the Democratic nominee; whom he was attacking.

For example he as-) serted that the senior La Follette ' always worked from within the Re- publican party, ignoring that distin-| j guished gentleman's departure from | the paths of political rectitude in 1924. | All these things, apparently, are) Beautiful A utumn Sight the result of three years in official position at Washington.

They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's policie: He would have remembered that au-} diences think as well as listen. The| doctrine which he preached was, in effect, that America need not, can-| not and must not trade with the rest| of the world. He followed this by asserting that the prices of farm products are too/ low in comparison with the price of | manufactured products. For some strange reason, even as he draped the robes of progressivism about his handsome shoulders, he contended there is nothing which can be done to adjust this obviously unequal situation, that the tariff cannot be further used to help the farmer. To President Hoover, whom he de- scribed as “my chief,” he made new cath of allegiance even os he admit- ted the failure of the president's farm relief program and the inabil- ity to do anything further about it. Speaking often of “my” country ing North Dakota and its citizens, he demonstrated clearly that he has Jost touch with both, together with his respect for their intelligence. Conspieuously absent from his epeech was either explanation or de- fense of the record of President Hoover, The president's record could not possibly be as black as Richard son inferred it to be by his silence on that point. The inaccuracies in Mr. Richard- son’s address were hardly in line with the Teputation as a lawyer which won for him appointment at Washington.

The testi- | mony may have exaggerated the in- | humanities considerably and _ still there is little room to doubt that a | convict labor gang is subjected to brutalities which enlightened com- munities have not permitted for a century and more. Some of these convict labor gangs in the deep south are employed in road construction. The United States government contributes a part of the cost of the roads upon which the convicts are employed. Plainly the time has come when the representa- tives in congress of the more en- lightened stetes must insist that none of the federal road subsidy is to be rr. to Lescid Dh, a spend it Promotion of prison gang bar- barities. ‘ Road subsidies from the federal government have little justification at best. They take the money of the taxpayers in the more civilized states end spend it for local benefits in backward communities.

HAS THE MOST CITIES EXCEEDING A POPULATION OF 5000 ea he GAY I 0) —— | CHAPTER LIX | Outside from the shelter of the j river bank, Bob's best marksmen were making life perilous for Mo- rales’s vaqueros on the hacienda roof. Behind them the rest waited impa- tiently for the opening of the gates. Only the Yaqui, casting off all re- straint, rode in wide circles about the | hacienda, firing from beneath the necks of their horses, filling the air with their shrill cries. It was darker inside the court- yard, Leaving his men to hold the attention of the vaqueros, Bob crouched low along the wall until he re&ched the gates. Here ali was quiet. The fighting had drawn Mo- rales’s men to the other side of the hacienda. Bob slipped a full clip of cartridges into his automatic, He remembered the great, rusty lock on the gate—a shot would shatter it, then before Morales’s men could take up their position the gates would be open. But as he looked up he started —a steel chain had been wound about the gates and wired fast. It would take long minutes to undo it. Already precious time was pass- ing. The light grew stronger and outside the wall his impatient band were riding closer, eager for the opening gate. Within the enclosure his men were falling before the va- queros’ fire—with every minute of delay the tide of battle was turning against them. Maddened with dis- appointment, Bob firéd into the wired chains above him. Not a strand loosened. But from a nearby building one man saw him standing by the wall. The first shot had aroused Ted out of fitful slumber within Morales’s cell, From the hacienda he heard the cry. “El Coyotel” and with pounding heart realized that Bob's band had arrived. Through the closed gate he could make out the figures of circling Yaqui and the steady gleam of rifle fire. Crouching figures ran past his barred window, running toward the hacienda, firing as they ran, From close about the corner of his prison Ted heard the repeated shots of a rifle, and knew that one of Jito's vaqueros was using it as a place of eoncealment, To the left, silhouetted against the reddening sky, he saw Bob's men leaping the wall, dropping down, stooping, rising, firing, driving the vaqueros back. With a gasp he saw Bob's form poised for a moment on the wall, then drop down into the garden. The fire from the hacienda had redoubled. As Ted watched Bob's cautious advance on the gate a shadow flitted before the barred window of his cell. A figure stepped directly in front of him and with infinite care raised a heavy rifle. He leaned back, steady- ing himself against the cell wall. Very carefully the sights aligned, the big black barrel pointed slowly to the crouching form of Don Bob. Ted’s arms shot through the bars, knocking the gun aside. Like great vises his hands closed about that dark throat, and reaching forward he raised the man clear from the ground. For a moment he heard his victim's feet beating a frenzied tat- toe on the wall, then slowly movement ceased, and Ted dropped his limp burden to the ground. Lift- ing his voice above the clatter of rifles and the spiteful crack of auto- matics, Ted shouted, “Bob Across the courtyard Bob turned, caught sight of Ted’s frantic waving, and ran to the prison. “Stand close in, for God's close in the shelter of the wal called. The next moment he saw Bob's tanned face smiling through the bars, “Thank heaven you're alive, old son,” came the quiet voice. “I was half afraid Morales would end it for you.” But Ted was already examining his prison door. “Pass that gun through here,” he directed. He forced the barrel well down be- tween the lock and the outer wall, then pushed. The door gave just 2 fraction of an inch. The lock moved ever so slightly, then the barrel of the gun bent under the pressure. “You've started it,” Bob called. “Stand »" warned Ted. He stepped back the full length of the cell, then crouched and hurled him- self forward. The little building rocked, and a shower of plaster rained from the ceiling. The lock was hanging from a single bolt. Once more Ted flung himself at the bars, and this time, with a screech of torn steel the bolt swung past the broken lock. Ted rose and, seizing Bob, pulled him back into the security of the cell, “Where is Adela?” came Ted's first anxious question. “In the village, raising the men.

No longer sheltered by the darkness, Bob's men were knecl- ing unprotected, firing steadily into the hacienda. Already half of them lay in crumpled heaps on the ground. The vaqueros had fallen back to the shelter of the inner walls, and now Poured volley after volley through every window and from every cor- ner of the roof, both arms about the gate where it hung on the hinges, Ted slowly straightened. Great cords stood out on his neck. Again he lifted with all his might.

Can your men cover me for two minutes?” For answer Don Bob drew both automatics from his belt and stepped outsid: I'll cover you,” he replied. In the courtyard the fight was go- Quickly the‘two men swept across the yard. A flame flashed from the window above, and a bullet tang on the iron bar of the gate before them.
