There's still a village only there, an pass
in days are duh.
But them old times the locust shades
reched clean acrost the street,
Ehe white blooms hanging over us-seen
nothin' since so sweet.

An seems l hear: my go this time" as
plain as then It rung
when me an Jim played marbles an Jim
an me wuz young.
Ehe boys, I guess, have wandered off, an
maybe some are dead.
The locust trees have rotted down where
once their shadders spread.
The old-like villagers no doubt, are seen no
more where they
g5ot on the fence an watched the game that
they when young would play,
But still l yearn to wunder back, an un-

Cook my last look on boyhoods scenes

An rest forever nigh where trees their
lovin' shadders flung
Where me an Jim played marbles when

A New York dispatch of re-
cent date says; The organization
of great union of 100000 work
men in Greater New York has
been begun by a committee ap-
pointed by the Central Fede-
rated Union. VIM. A. Perrine,
secretary of the Iron Moulders
conference board and one of the
leading members of the commit
tee, said: "This new union will
be the biggest local central Ia
Dor body on the face of the
earth. All the unions in the
five boroughs of New York city
will join. It will be more pow
erful than any of the great ma
tional unions and will have more
influence in one city than any
organization which has ever ex-
iSted."

in the side of some of our Off
cials at Washington. Were it
not that they were afraid of pub
lie opinion, many of the news
papers of the country would re-
ceive the same treatment of At
kinson's writings-denied the
mails. An official, whether high
or low, who is performing his
duty, honestly and conscien-
tiously, doesn't fear newspaper
criticism, and the public press
always upholds such an official.
1t is only those who are using
their positions for selfish and
nlterior purposes who would like
to muzzle the press.

Protect Our Food.

The doctors inform us that
alum is a poison, and that alum
baking powders should be avoid
ed because they make the food
unwholesome. Prominent hy-
gienists, who have given the
matter most study, regard these
powders as an evil that should
be suppressed by state action.
In Minnesota and Wisconsin
alum powders are not permitted
to be sold unless they are brand
ed to warn consumers of their
true character, while in the Dis
trict of Columbia the authori-
ties have, under the direction of
Congress, adopted regulations
to prohibit the use of alum in
bread altogether.
Are not the people of other
states, as we'll as those of Min
nesOta and Wisconsin, entitled
to warning of a danger which is
apparently menacing them close
at hand, and is not the whole
country entitled to absolute pro-
lection, as the people of the
District of Columbia are pro-
tected, by legislation which is
entirely prohibitive?
Until we can have protection
in the form of statute, how
can our state boards of health,
state analysts or food commits
sions better serve the public
than by publishing in the news
papers from time to time the
names of baking powders which
they find to be made from alum?
Meantime, it will aid the
housewife in designating the
alum powders to remember that
all powders sold at twenty-five
cents or less per pound are of
this dangerous class. Pure
cream of tartar powders are
usually sold at from forty five
to fifty cents a pound.

One of the pretexts urged as
an excuse for subjugating the
inhabitants of the Philippine
islands is, that they are igno-
rant and incapable of self-gov-
ernment. Brig. Gen. Charles
King, who recently returned
from those islands holds a diff
ferent opinion. In a letter to
the Milwaukee Journal, he saws
"the capability of the F'illipinos
for self government cannot be
doubted, and if given a fair start
they could look out for them
selves infinitely better than our
people imagine" Gen. King has
been there has fought them,
and they have taught him to
respect them.

1.-The cry raised in the public
press concerning the quality OF
meat, both canned and fresh,
furnished our army, and the in
vestigating boards which were
necessary to probe the scandal,
had the effect of paralyzing our
export trade in those Commodl-
ties. ''-Secretary Wilson.
The Secretary certainly errs'
and must have known that he
was making misstatement IN
the above extract 1.-The cry
was raised by army officers, sur
geOns and soldiers, and not by
the public press. Notwithstand-
ing all the power and influence
of the administration was eX-
erted to shield the guilty, the
verdict of the reading, intelli-
gent public was, that the charges
were well founded. The inde-
pendent public press is getting
to be very aggravating thorn

Gen. Merriam, the ready and
obedient tool of plutocracy, says
"organized labor is a menace to

The cry is all against organized
labor, the sycophants who are
constantly believing it, haven t
a word to say against organized
capital. We leave all candid
men to say which is the greater
menace.

Nothing hitherto attempted in
the United States by the mill
tary arm of the government
amounts to such an invasion of
civil rights as the order of Gen
eral Merriam forbidding mine
owners to employ union men, and
requiring them to obtain an or
der from him before they could
employ any men. But a step in
advance of this was taken when
men in the employ of one of the
mines were forced to work
against their wishes. General
Merriam is calling the turn"
too fast-faster indeed than
suits the purpose of the author
tiles at Washington. While Sec
retary Alger probably has no
scruples against subverting civil
rights in the interest of his
wealthy packers, and the COM
PLEASANT president would raise
no objections to what Hanna and
Alger might say, they undoubt-
edly see that there is such a
thing as OVERRIDING this strong
government program. Hence
the subordinate who has shown
himself "too brash" is sternly
admonished as follows:
You will instruct Maj. Smith,
commanding at Wallace, that he
is to aid with the United States
troops simply to preserve order.
These were your urgent instruc-
tions. The army must have moth
ing whatever to do with enforc-
ing rules for the government Of
miners or the miners union.
That is a matter for the local
authorities to deal with.
The waiver is good as far as it
goes, but it will not save the ad-
ministration from the charge of
a gross usurpation, and it will
not set limit on future acts of
the imperialistic propaganda.

The Prescott Courier says: In
a recent telegram from Manila,
Political General Otis states
that the insurgents kept on fight
ing because they were led to be-
lieve that on the event of the
defeat of the Mckinley admin
istration, the Aguinaldo govern
ment would berecognized by this
country. What hampered the
Spanish war from start to the
present time was the appoint
ment of political favorites and
creatures to positions which
they were not fitted to fill. Po-
litical General Otis should be
recalled and some full-blooded
American general placed in com
mand who will not mix up in
politics while the battle with a
foreign foe is in progress.

The st. Johns Herald draws
the following picture, the re-
suit of depriving stockmen of
their summer range, under the
specious pretext of preserving
the forests: Hundreds of the
sheep in Arizona, and especially

You may ask, what is the rea-
son of this? If yon, who can

on account of the timber re-
serve. There is no grass on the
mesas or in the valleys-noth-
ing for stock to feed upon but
brush and not much of that.
Something will have to be done
and that at once, or the people
of our county will have to mi
CRATE with their focks to other
climes. Sheep is the principal
industry in this county. From
it alone the greater portion of
the revenue to defray the rum
ming expenses of the county
government is derived. Cut
that off and Apache county will
be forced to disorganize. Nav
ajo and Coconino will be but lit

universal wish of the people to
have the reservation opened for
grazing purposes. "

that if he (Otis) did not have

the better the men are cared for

more capable they will be of

The desipota factory at Aberdeen is
now completed and under operation. 1t
is a novelty IN this or any other country.
II is the only factory Of its kind in the
world so far as known. and is the result
OF years Of study and experiment by
James g. Neumann, the inventor and
p~atentee OF the process. Mr.. Neumann
built a small factory in Indianapolis,
but it was destroyed by fire after being
10 operation ashort time. Mr.. Neumann
then decided to come to South Dakota,
where the finest potatoes known are
produced. He selected Aberdeen az
the best point 10 the state, and proceed.
ed to erect his factory. There is no
doubt OF the success of the enterprise.
Inquiries rs to the nature OF the pro.
duct and orders for it are being received
from all over this country, and also
from foreign countries. The product
known as ''desipota" is dessicated or
kiln dried cooked potatoes, bling
little broken pieces OF vermicilli as much
as anything. 1t q be transported to
