Evolution In Idols.

The hero of the Thanksgiving of these
modern days of this modern end of the
century is not the ohivalrous hero of by
gone times, with his hair in a cue
and laces dangling from his wrists but
he stands stocky figure of herculean
strength supported on gridiron pedes
tai and holding aloft a grimy football
in place of the sword of romance.
His face is massive with the force Of
his purpose. His hair recalls the Jagged
shreds of Japan royal chrysanthemum
His muscles are hardened with the pow
er of iron and the strength of his deter
mination to do or die. His armor is an
assorted collection of pads and shields,
and, on the principle that it is impossi
BILE to get too much of good thing, his
appearance on the field of honor is strik-
ingly impressive and forceful. The foot
ball player rules the land on Thanks
giving day. His voice is loud in the
land, and his Supremacy is unrivaled.
Banners are waved at him, and cheers
are shouted Canes proclaim his vic
tory, and beauty extols his prowess. He
is lord of the day. Chicago Chronicle.

Why the Spraying Pump Is Needed.

The time has come when the man
who has either garden or orchard seems
to need spraying pump as much as he
does pillow upon the farm. If two men
spray and receive bountiful crops as q
consequence, they will produce them at
less cost than the man whose crop is re-
duced by the insects. They can sell q
better quality Of fruit or vegetables at a
low price and make money, while his
half crop at the same price yields him
but a loss The man who does not keep
up with the times enough to obtain as
good crops as his neighbor at as small a
cost will experience hard times as the
result. He should then get spraying
pump and use it regularly, according to
directions, says American Cultivator.

Begin at the Primaries.

The way to unite the silver
forces of this and all other
states is to begin at the pri-
maries. This clears the way
for democratic, silver republi-
can and populist delegates to
the state convention. In the
counties which have a majo.ity
Of silver republicans, doubtless
a solid delegation of silver re-
publicans would be elected to
the convention. Andso in the
counties where democrats and
populists controlled. The field
would be open for the election
of delegations in full accord
with the prevailing party.
This policy brings the question
directly before the people at
the very fountain head of pol.
itics-the primaries.
Every man who can sub.
scribe to the Chicago platform
and who is willing to support
the nominees of the conven'
ton to which he has helped
elect delegates, has a right to
participate in the primaries
and conventions and to contes,
for and receive nominations
for office. This policy opens
the field to all alike. 1t is a
perfect exemplification of. the
Jeffersonian maxim of "exact
and equal justice to all and
special privilege to none" A
convention composed of dele
gates selected on this plar
would give us a ticket this
fall which would get the sup
portof every silver voter ir
the state.
We favor "wide open pri
maries."
