WHY THE FARM DON'T PAY.

One hears great deal these days about
the hardships of farmers and the remark
has become trite that farming doesn't pay
Neither does anthing else, for that mat
ter, which is neglected. Three or four
years ago young farmer IN Cato bought
a neighbours farm and borrowed the
money with which to pay for it paying
seven per cent interest per annum on the
debt. He has paid up the indebtedness
and now has his farm clear
How did you manage to pay off SO
large debt in SO short a time while many
o. your neighbors are running behind?''
was asked him lately.
Il Work" was his brief reply.
That is the whole secret. Years ago
when the county was a wilderness the
farm paid because the farmer worked.
With improved machinery and a farm
clear of stones, stumps and trees the far
mer fancies there is not much more for
HIM to do and the consequence Is he runs
behind and his farm is plastered with a
mortgage. Granted that prices are not
80 good as they were, the same industry
with improved land and improved appli-
ances will easily produce triple the yield
Farmers have lost the habit of work
ing. A days grading in the harvest field
now would be task from which the ma
n11tG chr1nly Daarlo
into Indolent habits and they blame "the
times" for fault which is wholly their
own. The pioneers made the farm pay
when they had to chop down the forest,
often with dull ak, before they could
reap the harvest. The harvester Will cut
and bind more to-day in half an hour than
they could do then in day. But they
we're so busy working then they had no
time to growl. Besides the country sa-
loon made no demands on their time or
resources.
Some years ago the writer was holding
a teachers examination in country
town. The harvest was late that year and
the grain though cut was still in the field.
The yield Of a years labor was still I'M
housed and at a critical juncture when
rain would be disastrous In the olden
time people would have worked late into
the night rather than take chances. Five
young men came to the country hotel for
glass of beer before going to their after
noon work. At six o'clock in the even
ing they were still there and the harvest
was forgotten. The following morning
when the examination opened the young
men passed the school house on their
way home. There can be no doubt that
they had ample reason to complain Of
hard times"
There is no work that farmer can do
IN saloon which will "lift mortgage"
Misfortune may overtake a man, other
wise the person who is hard up" has him
self to blame. There is money IN farm
even at present prices. There are far
mers IN this county who are making
money and living well. But like all other
people who do well they are at work and
do not spend their time in railing at the
existing order of things and deploring
their lot. Hevery one would let other peo-
pies business alone and tend TO his own
there would be but little complaint of
hard times.

IT is really surprising how great the

TREASURY CASES DECIDED.

Judge Newman rendered his decision
in the treasury cases on Monday and de-
clded every point in favor of the state.
The cases before him were those of the
State against Harsnaw and the State
against McFettridge. The latter was
charged with receiving 100000 interest
and the former S125,0O0. The judge de-
cides that these amounts be returned the
state with interest on the same from the
time the funds should have been turned
over by the defendants, respectively, to
their successors. The decision turns large
ly on the point that the money, the prin-
cipal, that is, belongs so the state and
that in case of loss due to no negligence
of the treasurer, the state must bear that
loss. The unlawful act OF depositing the
state funds in banks did not ilvalidate
the states title and the accretion follow
ed its principal. The treasurer should
not be permitted to profit by wrong he
had committed
The supreme court will now be appeal
ed to but it will IN all probability affirm
the decision Of the lower court. Judge
Pinney. who was one of the attorneys IN
the case will not take part in the hearing
and this leaves the decision to Judge
Lyon, Cassoday, Orion and Winslow, two
democrats and two republicans. 1t will
take three OF the four judges to override
the decision which otherwise will stand.
The democrats in Milwaukee. Madison
and Washington received the news with
the greatest manifestation of delight.
Attorney General O'Connor was con-
graduated on every hand. Judge New
man, the trial Judge is a republican, and
the decision has increased significance
from this fact.
The political effect of the decision can
not be overestimated and this fact rehec
great credit on Judge Newman as he set
politics aside and decided the case on
what he deemed the law required. With
politics swaying judicial action in other
states Wisconsin has reason to be proud
of the integrity of her courts. The Pilot
must admit that it always thought not
cent could be collected from the treas

The Pilot will in future have no opin-
ion on legal questions. 1t is now con-
WINGED that it doesn't 'even know a little
bit" about law. 1t doesn't even know
enough to be convinced it was wrong bv
reading Judge Newman's decision. But
his opinion Is eT-cathedra and silences if
it does not convince. Like the southern
soldier who didn't feel bad because he
was whipped nor because the peculiar
institutions" of his section were wiped
out, but did weep because of the certain
y that some 'gol darned fool who hadn't
ut would keep telling how ''he had done
It, The Pilot has some misgivings as to
future pleasant relations owing to that
intirmity of human nature which the
southern soldier feared.
Harshaw, McFettridge and the rest of
en- are now legally pronounced thieves
and 1T will be in order to keep them
steadily awaresof that fact. The woman
who wore the scarlet letter was properly
hooted by the urchins on the street and
Puritan justice approved the persecution.
Possibly the papers which argued that
Harshaw ct al. simply followed the ordin-
airy promptings of human nature and
were less severely honest than their
critics because of the enervating influence
of opportunity may likewise be made to
appear in the role of fearful example. I"
but 1t may be safely assumed that the
fearful example" will not have the degree
Of humility which full appreciation of the
character to be sustained would make
proper. A frank and full confession of
ignorance OF law, as expounded by Judge
Newman, may be cheerfully made. To
this extent the offending newspapers are
willing to humili4te themselves but no
further.

During the proceedings Mrs. Dore-

looked round for some sympathetic
