NOn-partisan.

The ''non-partisan" cry has gone
forth into the land, ON broad wings,
and it will not rest again. This is the
edict: "Defeat every party, atevery
succeeding election, that refuses to
come up to the high moral standard
of redressing human wrongs"
From this time on we will have no
party ties-or party names. MEN
are wanted. And we know men by
their adherence to principles. Ifthey
do not stick to justice and execute it
then they are not "men!''
Never again will party get a grip
on us which is stronger than love of
country. Let it be democrat, repub-
lican, prohibition, labor party, green
back, woman suffrage, anything for
a name, If it puts up good men and
sound principles-and stands by it's
pledges.
1t is better to deny all party names
until parties come to their senses.

the loan and trust companies doing
business in his section and borrowed
81. 600, for which he gave as security 3
mortgage on his farm. His new vens
ture did not prosper as he anticipated,
and at length IN the hope of saving
himself, he borrowed 5000 more.
Then came two or three years Of crop
failures and gradually every prospect
of freeing himself from the debt
seemed biighted He was no longer
able even to pay the interest, and with
sad heart he determined to abandon
the struggle.
Last fall the farmer went to the
agent through whom he had negotiated
the loan and laid his condition before
him, saying it was useless to fight
longer against odds and he wanted to
give up the farm.

This the farmer at length agreed to.
He planted $40 acres in wheat, and
when he harvested it the yield by ac-
tual scale measure was just one peck
less than forty bushels to the acre av.
erage, He had the whole crop con-
tracted for before the grain was cut at
81 cents per bushel, and last week he
went to the agent, paid off his entire
debt, principal and interest. and had
81, 100 in clean cash left. Besides this
he has yet to cut nearly 200 acres of fine
corn, and to the result of the years
work must be added his crops of sor

RUMoRs of a wheat famine in the
north west are now afoat. Although
contradicted from time to time, there
can be no doubt that the stories Of the
failure of the wheat crop over wide
areas in Dakota are measurably true,
and that unheard of restitution
and privation face thousands
as winter approaches. If such is the
case. as it undoubtedly is, the north
west as an agricultural region will
have received blow from which it
will not soon recover. if it ever does,
and one that will divert immigration
from that section and send it west on
more southerly lines. Thus does Da-
