The Highest Political Virtue.
Wichita, Kas.

Blind partyism is probably more re-
Sponsible than anything else for our
political woes. The man who says that
"you can't legislate prosperity into ex-
iStenCe" surely has not considered well.
II legislation has nothing to do with in
divlduRl prosperity or adversity, why do
lobbyists oongregate at the state and ma
tionRl cspitols to favor or oppose any
proposed legislationp Why don't the
national bankers and the protected indus
tries keep their lobbyists away from
Washington and save the expense, IL
legislation has no connection with midi
vidual or corporate prosperity or ad-
vsrsityH The paid lobbyists Of railroad,
express, insurance and liquor corpora
tions crowd the hotel corridors of the
state cspitols at heavy expense for the
purpose OF influencing legislation in ia.
vOr Of their special financial interests, or
to induce legislators to oppose measures
in the interests Of the masses, IL the pro-
posed measures seek to curtail some
special privileges enjoyed by such cor
porstions on account Of existing laws.
Unjust laws or the lack of just ones
are the chief cause of multi-millionaires
on one hand, and pauperism on the
other. While some are tramps and pau
pers, because too lazy to work, this is
not true OF the masses. We have laws
that actually license psuper. making in
stitutions. And the proprietors-the
brewers-Rre becoming millionRires. The
masses are industrious; but the people
who produce the bread and clothes, the
neCessaries and comforts of life, are
pinched with hunger and shivering with
cold, while some who do not work are
faring sumptuously every day, as o re-
suit Of legislation that enables them to
appropriate the results Of the labor Of
others.
Before there can be any great reform,
the people will have to withdraw their
support from the demagogues and party
heelers, and, il necessary, ignore all ex-
istinR party lines, and bring out men
pledged and bonded to carry out their

avs and interpret and execute them in
the interests of the monied classes who
too frequently mansRe political parties.
A Sacramento paper recently, in reply
to the question, "For what purpose do
parties sxist?" said that "in the mind Of
boss who makes politics a trade, par
ties are instruments for carrying his
candidates into Office. In the concep-
tion Of ignorance, which usually sdheres
to party through prejudice and stands
by the name when the thing that name
stood for has ceased to exist, parties
mean name for malice and spleen. To
the demsgogue who Is seeking nomins.
tion for Office at the hands Of party,
the purpose for which they exist is TO aid
his ambition, to crafty his vanity and
give him the run Of the public cash
drawer. To the patriot, party is the
instrument for the accomplishment Of
good to civil society" This same writer,
therefore, very senSibly concludes that
when party "fslls into the hands Of a
professional politician ,snd the machinery
Of the party is 80 manipulated by him
that the candidates nominated simply
represent his will, and the personnel Of
government is to be made up Of his tools,
then the purpose for which parties exist
at ell is defeated. The good citizen 10
not only not bound to obey the behests
Of his party, but in good morals Is bound
to see that candidates nominated in that
way and for that purpose are defeated.
When party fealty makes the voter a
slave to the will Of party managers, then
partisan ship becomes dsspicsble. In
short, when psrtissnship is inconsistent
with good citizenship, it is the highest
political virtue to cease TO be partisan"
This is true Of any party. It's time to
take o q the party glasses, to think for
SELF and determine to assist in breaking
corrupt political machinery wherever
and whenever found. No matter how
good the principles party may Rdvo-
cate, If the party machinery is corrupt
the interests of the masses will be sacri-
feed TO take care of the interests of the
party bosses and those who purchase
fsvorS by contributing to the campaign
funds. We must henceforth use more
intelligence, independence, conscience
and common sense at the ballot box

HOW FAR HAVE WE PROGRESSED ,

Long before we can remember,
When the earth was fresh and new,
When fellow wished to marry
Do you know what he would do?
No. It wasn't cream and candy,
Yet he never got snub;
At one stroke he did the counting,
And he did 1t with club.
Or one became ambitious
And desired to be king,
It was counted very noble
When he killed off everything
That came in 'twixt him and glory;
That's too savage for to-day,
Men have grown refined and cultured,
And have learned better way.
No, they don't let out the hearts blood
At one stab; they take IL slow,
With scientific fneness,
SO the victim will not know
That they sap his heSrvs blood surely,
Make his pulse beat high or low;
For finance Is like faucet,
Can be turned on fast or slow.
Time, heredity and habit,
Three unchanged and fearful fates,
That wind Off with steady fingers
What environment creates.
Time, heredity and habit,
Masters of the greatest school,
And survival of the strongest
Is their one and awful rule.
Though monopOlies surround us,
still men do their "luck" berate;
And the strongest set the prices,
And the principle makes hate
'Twtxt the classes, 80 the rich ones
Fear the humble, and they pay
Much in prisons, guns and soldiers,
To keep dangerous men away.
Individuals are helpless,
But, en- mdsSe, the people hold
Mighty power, would they see 1t,
To control both men and gold.
This supremacy Of money,
Borne, and scarcely realized;
Yet we proudly call our country
Christian, free, and civilized.

are briefly described in this book. Not
the least interesting feature Of this book
10 its illustrations, most Of which are di-
rect Photographic reproductions of bO-
nsnzs harvest scenes, or portraits Of such
famous bonanza farmers az Oliver Dal-
rVmple, A. r. Dslrymple, ex-United
States Senator Casey, Governor Short
ridge, Hon. Fl. F. Miller, Hon. Rollin G.
Cooper, all Of North Dskoto, and score
Of others.
A perusal Of it's pages brings the fact
forCibly TO mind that America owes it's
pre-eminenc0 Rs' grain.grOwing coun
try to the improvement Of it's agricul-
turRl machinery. The Dskotss, Mime
sofa, and other great grsin-rsising states
owe their wealth and population to i'm
proved farm machinery, for, without
such machinery, the cost for labor would
eat up the profits on the crop. By using
gang plows that plow half q dozsp fur
rows at q time; by using broadcast
drills that SOW their forty acres Q day,
and DseriDg twine binders that cut and
bind from twenty to twenty. five acres q
day, these farmers are enabled to raise
wheat at small cost and to handle tens
OF thousands OF acres with q compare
lively small force Of men. Take, for
instance, the Grandin farm in Trail
county, N. D., managed by Mr.. A. R.
Dalrymple, which, though not the larg-
est in the state, is one of the best man
aged. Since the land was first broken,
in 1875, the grand average yield of wheat
has been over seventeen bushels per
acre for the 1900 acres under cultivs-
tion, with an average Of thirty bushels
in some years. This grain is cut with
40 Dsering binders, each Of which, cut.
ting a sWsth seven feet in width, binds
into shesves about twenty acres q day.
To harvest and thresh this crop requires
q force Of 250 men, while $50 men are
employed the year around. Seventy
gang plowg, forty eleven-foot drills,
thirty Deering mowers, seven large
steam thresherS, 300 head OF horses and
mules, and elevators with combined
capacity Of 100000 bushels, are included
In the equipment Of this farm. Facts
such Rs these give great value to this
book. Farms such a. these were visited
by the foreign commissioners Of the
Worlds Fair, and the history of their
tour and what they saw forms an inter
esting portion Of this sample Of the
printers art.
II is not difficult to guess that the
answer to the implied question, "Why
Bonanza Farming Pays" is found in the
fact that bonanza farmers use the most
modern implements for planting, Guilt
waiting and harvesting their immense
crops. These machines permit the
North Dakota farmer to pay heavy
freight to Chicago, New York and Lon.
don, and to sell In the European m ar
kets at q profit in competition with the
Russian and Indian farmer, and that i,
too, in the face Of the great diffsrenc 9
In cost Of farm labor in the two coun :
tries.
From the entertainment and instruc.
tion contained in this little book, and
from the expensiveness of its makeup,
one would naturally expect that its pnb
fishers would charge good round price
for it. On the contrary, they generously

PERHAPS DUTY ON SUGAR
LOUISIANA SENATORS LAY

They Will Defeat the Wilson Bill
If That state IL Not Especially
Favored by COnGress-Treasu
Information

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16-The rumors
concerning The alleged action of the Sen
ate subcommittee on finance on the
sugar schedule of the tariff bill caused
some commotion about the capitol. The
rumor was that sugar was to be left on
the free list. Upon the authority Of a
member of the sub committee, the posi-
tive statement is made that the commit
tee has come to no conclusion regarding
the sugar schedule and that there is no
foundation for the statement that sugar
has been or would be put on the free list.
This Senator also said that until definite
informa tion was received from the Treas
urv Department as to the tull effect of
the lson bill, as it stands, nothing
will be done.
The members of the subcommittee
have been notified by both Senators
White d Caffery OF Louisiana. that
unless sugar was taxed they would aid
in defeating the whole bill. Their votes
being so necessary in the small majority
in the Senate, party expediency will, it is
said. compel the committee to agree to
a duty on sugar.

Ve Meets WI II 81 serious Acct
dent

LyNcHBURG, Va, Feb. 1,-Gen. ]ubal
A. Early, ranking officer of the late Con-
iederacy, met with an accident last even
ing, which in all probability, the attend
ing physicians say, will prove fatal. Fl.
was ascending the stairs of the postofhce
when he fell heavily. the ice on the steps
rendering them slippery. He struck on
his head, and the concussion was so
severe as to render him unconscious.
Owing to his advanced age, the General
having passed his S0th year, it is hardly
possible that he will ever get up from
bed again.
General Earlvs physician, DR.. Tcrrill,
stated today that the general is not Sc
riously injured and will be out in few
tays
