Hooker was sent first up from the draw
bridge, as was Prince, and near home fouled
the Prince, but finished second. Narvaez
drove Alfaretta out under the whip, and
was third TO Hooker under the wire by a
neck's disadvantage. Dennison complained
that Hooker had foued the Prince. After
an investigation the claim was allowed aud
Hooker disqualified, giving the place to
Alfaretta. This was double-heAder
knock down to the bookes. as the play at
the close was Rice to win and Alfaretta for
the place. The disqualification of Hooker
was lucky thing for Billy Appleby, as his
horses thus got first and second money.

It is announced that Mrs. Harrison has
sore finger, and consequently cannot
shake hands with the thousands who
come to her receptions. If the hand
pumping at presidential receptions could
be done away altogether it would be an
Indication of progress. 1t is true that
president and presidents wife are no
better than any other good Americans,
and are as well entitled to grasp the
hands of their fellow citizens as anybody
else. But the physical strain of shaking
hands with hundred thousand persons
a year is something so formidable that it
should not be exacted of anybody.
There would be no snobbery or aping of
effete despotisms in excusing the presi-
dent and his wife altogether from it.
Washington, first president and father
Of his country, never shook hands with
anybody at presidential levees. They
were solemn affairs.

Mr.. Hodgson Compelled to Resign.
1t is matter of regret that Mr..
T. c. Hodgson should be compelled
to resign his Inspectorship under
Gov. Merriam. And yet certainly an
attempted betrayal of the Farmers
Alliance of Minnesota into the hands
OF the Governors political opponent
looked like duplicity.
The interests of the two men who
are before the public as political can
didates are nothing to this paper
absolutely nothing. We will have
nothing whatever to do with the
matter. And the GREAT WEST will
stand as a rock against any attempt
to sell out the Alliance to either 1t

takes it before the public in proper
light. Mr.. Hodgson had no right to
be Inspector of wheat. In public and
private he had lin a moment OF
doubt when Mr. McGill stepped out)
declared the whole system corrupt
and rotten, and run in the interests
OF thieves and robbers. He gets the
re-appOintment-and then he declares
that it is absolutely heavenly pure
and a remedy for all ills. Mr.. Hodg-
son never did represent the Alliance
there. There is history back OF the
matter which goes back of this con-
fiict-and reaches even into Traverse
County during the late Hall-Cross-
field contest. Mr.. Hall was the
Alliance candidate. He was defeated.
Mr.. Hodgson knows how he was de-
feated!

The Soldering Machine.

In the old time in Pennsylvania there
was a regulator of public morals that
was worth all the vigilante and White
Cap organizations on record. This was
the ''sobering machine"
The SOLDERING machine was simply an
ordinary wagon with the hind wheels re-
moved. A long box was then nailed
upon the axle over,the front wheels. If
a man was caught in the town drunk he
was placed in the box fiat upon his back.
Six sturdy and sober Pennsylvanians
then applied their muscle to the machine
and gave the victim such a ride out of
town as he had never had before. It was
also such ride that he never wanted a
second one.
The same dose was given to the wife
beaten and the tramp. It was such good
medicine that tramps came to shun the
place as a plague infested spot. A ride
like that in plain sight Of his fellow men
was calculated to make drunkard, tramp
and wife beater shun a place that re-
called such unpleasant memories. Pho
neer justice in this country is something
the history Of which has never been fully
written. Itwould make interesting read
ing. A coat of tar and feathers was one
of the condign punishments visited on
those who trespassed. It was not un-
common to crop the ears of horse thieves,
that they might be recognized wherever
they went. There are middle aged peo-
pie in various parts of the west and south
who have seen in their childhood indi-
viduals thus marked for life.

Well, Bro, it is hard to tell. But
truly, we get at this Office an enor-

and then so much has to be left
out anyway. "Well," you will say,

But any editor will tell you that this

LIVE MEETINGS.

This month we have held delight
full meetings with the farmers of Mel
rose and Spring Hill, Stevens county.
These earnest German farmers gath
cred to hear the cause of the depres-
sion in prices-and they were sur
prised to learn that Liverpool prices
made No. 1 hard $1.15 to $1.2O.
($1.25 within six weeks) while at
their stations it was worth but q lit
tie more than half. And yet it only
cost ten cents, profits and all, to get
the wheat from Duluth to Liverpool
Last week Thursday Miss Eva

us, and the large hall was damned

ductory remarks we introduced Miss
Mcdonald Eva Gay), and for an
hour she not only held their atten-
ton, but they applauded her often.
She had complete command of the
audience. Miss Med. came to them
as the daughter OF a working man
and as q working girl herself in the
cities. And her later work in the
places where toll is ill-paid and ILL.,
fed and where her pen has thrown
light upon the cruelties of our COM
mercial spstem, has prepared her to
talk with feeling upon these subjects.
Her first sentences warmed every
heart to her-espeoially the mothers
present, whose daughters make up
the great workiaggin population Of
the cities. At
HELEKA STATION,
Last Friday the farmers of Jordon,
Helena and New Prague were called
together by Senator Nachbar. The
store was crowded with from Is to
hundred solid German farmers.
The brass band, composed wholly OF
farmers, made it lively on the start.
DR.. Fish then spoke to them for two
hours and twenty minutes! And
during all this time the audience was
standing. 1t was "eruel'' ON the
Drs' part, but the farmers would not
"let up," and neither would he! Sen

operative. de Is usually respected
as a fellow-man among men.
Again the farmer and his employees
are engaged in the first step of pro-
duction. They furnish the raw ma
teria1 which is afterwards distribu-
ted and manufactured into different
sorts of finished products. The farm
er applies his labor directly to the
earth or some of it's natural resour-
ces. He can manage the hours OF Ia
Dor to suit himself. If he be not more
prosperous than the workman of the
city-it is because he is fleeced by a
set of different wolves. The farmer
fails to get the just return for his la
Dor when he takes the product to
market. The wheat ring, railroad
company, and mortgage agent, all
combine to depreciate the value OF
his products.
The city workman is only engaged

ufacture. He sells his labor day by
day. 1t is his only capital and it's
the sum of his existence is counted
by the way in which the days are
spent-and the cash return for each.
So the regulation of hours and
wages are OF vital Importance to
him, while to the farmer they are on
ly of secondary Importance, and
then readily arranged to the salts
faction OF both employer and labor
err. There is no fixed standard for
the hours OF labor throughout, the
twelve months on the farm nor is
such move at present advisable.
The farmers need have no fear that
the eight hour movement is at once
to be so thoroughly. established
among the city workmen that it will
be forced upon the farmers, whether
they wish it or not. A little thought
shows that such a thing is impossi-
BILE. Even where the sentiment is
strongest, and thorough organiza-
ton is preparing for the struggle, it
is only expected that the eight hour
day will be established for two
branches of trade on May LIST. The
others to follow gradually, as public
sentiment becomes stronger in favor
of shorter working hours. The farm
ers needn't lose any sleep over the
eight hour questions and they are
beset by so many actual dangers
that it is folly for them to waste
time over an issue which only indi-
rectly concerns them. The eight
hour day will never come for the
farmer or the farmers wife until they
choose to have it SO. At present
they evidently do not want it.

CONVICTS AND BINDING IRVINE.
Report of the Trades Assembly CON-
mittee.
Committee.
We are not disappointed with
the report of the state prison
board, adverse to the manufac-
ture of binding Irvine and ropes
from native flax at Saltwater.
They dismiss the subject of fax
by saying it would be an expert
ment that would cost 100000
for machinery, and from 81 ,OOO,-
900 to $4,000, 900 for the plant,
something the state would not
tolerate. You will observe they
are not very precise about esti-
mates. The gentlemen must
think the people very short sight
ed not to be able to see through
their motives. The report is SO
absurd that it at once arouses
suspicion of motives. Talk of
experiment! Why, fax culture
and manufacture was one of the
first industries practiced by the
American colonists, and continu-
ed to fouish until about 1912,
when the factory system was in
troduced. Cotton was protected
by a high import duty and -four
ished. Flax and linen were neglec-
ted and the industry languished
and almost died out through
foreign competition. Virginia
offered a premium for linen until
her royal governor forbade it.
Massachusetts enacted a law in
1856 that required every woman
to spin a specified quantity of
fax or wool, and in default
pay q fine to the selectmen.
Other colonies had similar laws
for the propagation of the fax
industry. All ropes and Irvine in
those DAYS were made from in
ferior fax. Hemp had not been
introduced. If the gentlemen
