PRESIDENT MCKINLEY, in his ad-
dress at Minneapolis last week, stated
in positive terms the policy of the ad-
ministration in regard to the Philip
pines, and that that policy is to hold
the islands. He said:
''The treaty of peace with Spain,
which gave us the Philippines, Porto
Rico and Guam, met with some oppo-
sition in the senate, but was ratified
by that body by more than "a two
thirds vote, while in the house the
appropriation of $50, 100000 was
made with little or no opposition
AS in the case of Louisiana purchase
and Alaska, the opponents of the
treaty were in the minority and the
star of hope to an oppressed people
was not extinguished.
''The future of these new posses
sions is in the keeping of congress,
and congress is the servant OF the
people. That they will he retained
under the benign sovereignty of the
United States, [ do not permit my
self to doubt. That they will prove
a rich and invaluable heritage | feel
assured. That congress will provide
for them a government which will
bring them blessings which will pro-
mote their material interests as we'll
as advance their people in the path
of civilization and intelligence, l con-
fidently believe. They will not be
governed as vassals or serfs or slaves
they will be given government OF
liberty, regulated by law, taxation
without tyranny, justice without
bribe, education without distinction
or social condition, freedom OF relig-
ious worship, and protection in life,
liberty and thepursuit OF happiness. "

LAST week, six car loads of cattle,
that had been bought from Marshall
county farmers, were shipped from
Warren. In the whole lot there were
only a few that were really fit to be
butchered, without first passing
through fattening process. At the
stock yards in South St. Paul or Chi
cago they will be fed and made ready
for the market. Now it seems to us
that cattle should never be shipped
from here in an unfinished condition
If Marshall county were a ranch
country, then there would be some ex-
cuse in sending away only grass fed
stock, but it is not. We are in the
midst of the greatest grain growing
section of the United States. Oats
and barley grow here abundantly and
make excellent feed for fattening pur-
poses. We can even raise corn and
most excellent corn fodder. Potatoes
and all kinds of root crops, as turnips
and rutabagas, grow here exceedingly
we'll, and are useful for fattening
purposes. Bran and shorts can
usually be obtained at our mills at
a reasonable price. In country so
rich in fattening material there should
be no necessity for shipping cattle
except in prime condition. The prof
it's of fattening belong here.

A Visit To Argyle.

We visited our neighbor town, Ar
gyle, last Saturday and were much
Impressed with the evidences of
growth and prosperity that we found
there. Many new buildings have
been erected during the present year.
In the short time between trains we
had the pleasure to meet many fast
friends and familiar faces from form
,er days, as we'll as to view some of
the town. The mammoth mercantile
establishment of Olson & Holen first
attracts the attention of the visitor.
Their large store, 100 by 100 feet, re-
minds one of the. big department
stores in the cities. Groceries, dry
goods, clothing, furniture, hardware,
have their respective departments
A ware house 48xl2O, adjoining the
store, is used as a depot for farm
machinery, in which the firm also
deals, and as store room for goods.
When Olson & Holen began business
Warren sheaf., 1899-10-19

at Argyle in the early eighties, they
had only small store, and to see
their big, establishment now is evi-
dence that they, as well as the sur
rounding country, have prospered.
Both members rof the firm are pru-
dent, careful and conservative bust
ness men. The Farmers & Mer-
chants Bank, of which Hans L. Mel
gard is the president, occupies one
corner of the Olson & Holen build
ing. It is a strong and we'll managed
financial institution credit to Ar
gyle and the county of Marshall.
Another successful merchant is Mr..
F. Teidt, whose large store was
crowded with goods. Another enter
prising and successful business man
is Mr.. Moline, who has handsome
new brick store. Another merchant
doing a good business is H. He'd
quist, but the train pulled in as we
were to call on him. James Scott
has his hands full of business and to
him the people of Argyle are indebt-
ed for enlightenment. He owns the
electric light plant. Sometimes we
wish that Warren had James Scott.
The genial Dan Robertson has a we'll
stocked and thoroughly up-to-date
drug store. P. S. Nelson is the
genial, efficient. and accommodating
postmaster. Allen Boyce, who was
deputy sheriff during the early days
of Jack Kivels administration, wears
the village marshal's star with be-
coming grace. Of course we called
at the Office of the Marshall County
Banner, and acknowledge ourself in
debted to editor Novotny for cour-
tesies extended. Since Martin took
unto himself wife he is prospering
as never before. Mr.. Novotny has
we'll equipped job Office in connection
with his paper, and he is an artistic
job printer. An old familiar face
whom it is always pleasure to see is
that of Mr.. j. @. Bennewitz. Argyle
has an efficient fire department. A
large stationary gasoline engine,
capable of forcing the water through
hose to all parts of the town, has re-
Gently been purchased and installed.
A large cistern, holding sufficient
water for six hours steady pumping,
has been built in the rear of the en-
gine house. This brief description
will have to suffice for. one visit.
Hope we can make another one be-
fore long.

Some time ago Mr.. Story, then su.
perintendent of J. J. Hills farm,
gave, through "The Farmer" his
method of killing quack grass, and it
is we'll worth trial on any farm where
this grass has hold. He plows it in
the spring early, and keeps it we'll
narrowed until time to SOW buck
wheat, and then sows that grain,
seeding literally. This literally
smothers out the grass, the only way
it can be readily killed. Mr.. Story
has several times since the date of
that publication effectually killed out
quack grass by the same method, at
comparatively little expense. This
grass is getting a foothold on many
farms in the Northwest, and informa-
ton how to exterminate it is frequent
ly asked for.-The Farmer.
