on Northern Pacific Tracks
Wednesday.
Early Wednesday morning of
this week a mangled body was
found on the Ndrthern Pacific
track, down near the stock yards. I™*®1
The head was badly crushed, one
foot had been cut in twain, and
other parts of the body badly
used up. For more than a hun
dred .yards along the track there
was evidence that the man had
been carried beneath the cars for
that distance. There were knee
and elbow prints here and there
between the ties, and then the
'.)lood staincs. Before the body
was reached a small soft hat was
Tound between the rails.
Coroner Kuili and Sheriff
Jones were at once notified, and
he two at once went to the scene
where the man had met his death.
They found a few coins scattered
«!ong the track, particles of cloth
ing here and there, and the life
less body between the rails, which
had almost been stripped of
clothing, in the dragging under
the cars.
At first no one recognized the
mangled form and the body was
taken in charge by Coroner Kuch.
and the news spread that an un
known man had been killed on
ihe track evidently trying to
"boat" it out on a freight. A card
in one of the pockets showed that

Later in the day Judge Frank
Cannon and others ,of the old

readily identified it as being that

Polly North many year's ago. At
which lime he was a well known

THE NEXT BIG CASE.
Nebraska State Journal: Pres
ident Ripley's announcement that
Ihe Santa Fe will not obey the
"eight hour" law which stopped
Ihe strike, until commanded by
the supreme court to do so, may
be extended to cover the princi
pal railroads of the United Stains.
The question will be appealed to
the courts, and the decision of
the case will be a turning point
in American management of the
railroad problem. The only
question now dividing the rail
roads is the one of procedure.
The new law does not take effect
until January 1, 1917. Whether
the roads will wait until then,
making the issue by violating 1 lie
law and appealing for a decision,
or will find a way sooner to raise
lire question, is now a subject
of discussion among their law
yers.
The courts have decided Ihat
congress can limit railroad work
ing hours. That right is based
on public safety. But this law
docs not limit working hours,
It merely changes the basis of
7av, substituting the eight hour
or the ten hour basis, and pro
dding that pay for eight hours
shall not be less than it is now
for ten, with overtime in pro
portion. The legal question can
hardly be anything else, there
fore, than the plain question of
the authority of congress to fix
railroad wages. That is an en
tirely new question.
And an extremely important
one. Congress can fix rates, di
rectly or through the interstate
commerce commission.- But
rates depend upon wages, and
wages upon rates. If congress
or the commission cannot fix
wages, then they are limited, in
their control of rates, by a factor
entirely in control of railroads
or their employees. Unless con
gress can determine railroad
waiii'r lis control of the railways
in the public interest
-,s
hampered
to an extent that might prove fa
tal to the regulation system The
railroad operators are confident
that they can win against such
legislation ias this. A layman
could not ventue to anticipate
the view of the supreme court.
Yet so obviously does rate con
trol depend on wage control that
even layman will be able to un
derstand how fhe court might
disappoint Sir. Ripley and his
fellow presidents.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT.
When one reads of the gift
from the widow of a deceased
railroad magnate to her 24-year
old son of an estate consisting of
a house containing 150 rooms and
a surrounding park of 2,500 acres
valued altogether iat $5,000,000,
and also of an annual income
drawn by the head of a large ba
ker company, in a big city, bo
sides hundreds of instances
1
of
lavish extravagance so great as
to be almost unbelievable indul
ged in by the moneyed class, it
is almost impossiblt not to sym
pathize with the unrest of the
wage-earners, no matter what
their excesses. But much of this
piiing-up of immense fortunes by
the few is the fault of the work
ers themselves, because of the
men their votes put into office,
and the "enemy" they put into
their mouths in the form of to
bacco, drink and like wasteful
habits in which they indulged
beyond the limit of their earn
ings. They exchange their hard
erned dollars for nickles and pen
nies, and these small bits of mon
ey slip through their fingers in
an uninterrupted stream

NO PARALYSIS IN STATE.
There are no cases of infantiie
paralysis in the state, despite nu
merous rumors to the contrary.
When interviewed from Grand
Forks over a iong distance tele
phone Dr. R. C. McGurrcn of De
vils Lake, secretary of the State
Board of Health, made this slate
ment: During the last few weeks
there have been many rumors to
the effect that several casese had
been found in North Dakota, but
Dr. McGurren, who is the first to
hear of such cases, denies the
statements.
"We are watching a case at
Lansford,' said the Doctor, which
may be infantile paralysis, but I
do not think it is It is the case
of a boy who was injured a short
time ago and there have been in
dications of paralysis. I have in
structed physicians to watch the
case closely and report any dang
erous symptons at once.
"Outside of this slightly sus
picious case, there is not a single
case of the disease in the state."
Dr. McGurren was invited to
attend "the Washington confer
ence of health authorities physi
cians and scientists from every
section of the country, but the
North Dakota Board of Health
had no funds for such a trip so
consequently he 'could not at
tend. However, he worte the
heads of the conference to the
effect that the North Dakota
Board would be glad to co-oper
ate in carrying out any degula
tions adopted at the meeting.
As soon as Dr. McGurren re
ceives a report of the conference,
a meeting of the State Board of
Health will be held to determine
whether or not North Dakota
should take any precautious
measures.
