WILL IGNORE THE LAW.

Chicago, Nov. 14.-Western freight
agents have decided to ignore the long
and short haul clause of the interstate
commerce act in making their rates from
Chicago to Utah. They base their right
to do this on a decision handed down in
the United States circuit court in this city
in 1892. The decision declared that the
word Zine" as applied to the fourth Sec
ton of the act, is limited to one road,
and that two connecting roads are not a
line. Under that decision, short haul
charges greater than the through rates
over connecting lines are not in violation
of the law. AS all the Utah routes from
Chicago are made up over two or more
roads, the lines are at liberty to make
as low rates as they wish An association
of which P. J. Flynn is to be chairman
will be formed

SOME SENSIBLE ADVICE.
To the Representatives:
am glad that at least some of the pep
pie begin to see that If they wish to ac-
co1nplish anything in the way OF reform
they must support a paper that is pub
lished in their interest. And think this
fall will show the farmers their folly; il
it does not then indeed their case is hope
less.
I saw an article in the Minneapolis
bonding themselves and their posterity
to get competing railroad lines to haul
their freight for reasonable rates and
after all they are liable to be and in fact
are under the control of one man. For
Gods sake, farmers, stop bonding your
selves and try voting.
Do you ever think of the postofice sys
TEN? 1t is conducted at cost, or nearly
so, for your benefit: You can send let
ter as cheap as the man that is sending
a hundred. Why hot try voting for gov
eminent control Of railroads? But per-
haps you don't want the government to
haul your wheat at cost, as they do your

bushel. If railroad man wish the ex-
tension of the postoffice system thereby
lettering your condition and mine also.
am not stuck on the Populist party as
party, but am stuck on some of their
principles. Some of you farmers cannot
pay tn retnieot ?hakb tSHRDLU SCHRDL
pay the interest on what you owe this fall,
with all your big crop. If you could come
down to the chamber of commerce of Min
neapolis and learn the way these men
reap all the profit of your industry think
you would be ready for any change; for
you really could not have a worse condi-
ton than the present one.
Now as an evidence of Republican pros
perity there are failures every day in the
Twin Cities. l read of millionaire lum
herman in Michigan and another in Wis
consin, our own N. P. Clark and our own
Gov. Clough, our own Mr.. Sidle, one of our
First National bankers. The little fish
are all fried and now the big fish are be-
ginning to fall into the pan of Wall street.
AS an evidence of our great Republican
prosperity read that the secretary of the
state board of charities and corrections
has requested the county board of Big
Stone county not to build a poor house
this fall. Probably it would be too great
an evidence of Republican prosperity. And
this in country village in free America.
1t was no worse in the famine times in
Ireland l hope the Representative will
have a million subscribers.

HAS GOLD A STANDARD VALUE?

In the last Representative correspon-
dent inquiries the value of gold as stand
ard for basing the financial interests of
the nation on. There is a statement made
in Doubleday financial history of Eng
land, page Ut, giving the following f1uc-
tuations of gold in that country for the
years from 1910 to 1920 at which an ounce
of pure gold was quoted at:
1904 IS; 1911, "A It's Id; 1872, f5 Ss,1813
IS los; 1914 IS Is Sd; 1915, "a LIS Cd; 1916
f3 ISIS Sd; 1917, "a; 1878, "a Is sd; 1919,
"a 3s 1920, (present price, f3 It's 10kd.
Now is not this nice standard of value
to base our currency on; it must be borne
in mind that what has been may occur
again. II we are an Independent nation
let us have an honest currency essentially
our own. This from an old Greenbacker.

NEBRASKA MERCHANTS WARNED
AGAINST SELLING NEBRASKA
MADE SUGAR.

Omaha, Neb., Nov. 1.-THE growth of
the beet sugar industry in this state has
attracted the attention of the Sugar
Trust. Jobbers and dealers have been
notified that if they sell the refined prod
uct of Nebraska factories the trust will
decline to sell them the cheaper grades.
The result of this inhibition is that over
100000 worth of Nebrask made sugar is
stored in warehouses in Omaha The
matter has been laid before the manu-
facturers and consumers association.
There is a strong home patronage senti-
ment in the state which will, it is said,
favor the Nebraska sugar maker in the
fight.

MODERN REFORMERS.

The world has had reformers, men who
were sternly just
Who smote the thrones of wickedness
and laid them in the dust;
Meek, tender men, made mighty by man
kinds blood and tears,
Strong men whose words were thunder
bolts to smite the wrong of years
Were all these stern reformers of breed
too weak to last?
Did all the great wrOng-Smiters vane
and perish in the past?
Did they fight a losing battle? were they
conquered in the fray?
Why are there no refOrmers fighting in
the world today?
Well, it's but a thing Of labels; the re-
formers have not gone,
But they're mixing with the people with
misleading placards on;
For we placed them fanatics" vision
aries" "cranks,'' and fools
Men denounced by clubs and churches
by the journals and the schools
There are men who wear these placards
daily in the market place,
Heroes of the ancient lineage, kings and
saviors of the race;
But we never see their greatness through
life's trivial events,
But our childrens sons will read it on
their granite monuments.

The GENTRY of colonial Mary1and.

The gentry of colonial Maryland, un-
der the rule of the earlier Calverts, liv-
ed on the great plantations in dwellings
that were accessible by water. The bay
and rivers were almost their only high
ways, and the obliterated little thorp
of ST Mary's, founded on the site of an
Indian village whereof the memory is
dear to every son of the soil, was their
only city At home they sat on stools
and forms and dined without forks,
cutting their meat with their rapiers.
But their walls were wainscoted and
their chambers comfortably bedded. Tea
and coffee they rarely tasted, and sugar
was luxury, but sack and cider and
punch flowed freely.
Witness the facetious instructions Of
Governor Calvert to Colonel Price to
bring certain articles to Fort ST. Inigoe's
for the use of the soldiers: "And upon
motion of sack the said governor bade
him bring sack, if he found any, In
the early records of the province there
is more sack than Falstaff's drawer ever
scored. The colonial gentry dispensed
ardent spirits at funerals and olinked
the sack cup at christenings, and they
affected signet rings with their leather
breeches and boot hose. Cattle stealing
was not in fashion. Only a sheriff Of
Kent was once charged with that offense,
while governor of Virginia was con-
victed. Neither was there ever an exc
cution for witchcraft in the province of
Maryland. d.-"Old Maryland Homes and
Ways" in Century.

THERE is only so much gold in the
world; not half enough to do the bust
ness of the world. Al the rate it is 60
ing to Europe now will soon place the
United States at a great disadvantage
in every respect. We will have far less
gold than fair distribution would in
dictate. What then? Why we will
have to go into the markets and bor-
row at q rate of interest which now
would seem impossible. This whole
gold question seems q conspiracy
against the republican west. 1t is one

ment by the people, for the people,

is, it could be corrected and a great ad-
