GOOD FOR vESTA.

To THE EDITOR: | would like a
small space in the columns of your
valuable paper to reply to the vii
famous attack on the honesty and
character of one of the officials OF
Vesta, made through jealousy, by
the proprietor of your Jail contem-
porary over the alleged small SUN
of $12.
In the first place the whole of the
Article is an infamous lie and was
penned, either by an imbecile, or a
man who has no regard for the
truth whatever. The articles of in
corporation referred to by your Jail
contemporary ''yahoo' as being
those of the village of Vesta. be-
longed to the Redwood County Land
Co., and the fact that they were
published in THE GAZETTE so demon
allied the thinking machine of the
ink Singer of your jail contempo-
rary that he went straight up-ex-
ploded, but few paltry dollars
would, no doubt, repair him in good
shape: as his mental capacity is so
small that it could be encased in an
ordinary box car.
If the blue pencil pusher' of the
aforesaid paper bears as irreproach-
able name as does the metaphysi-
cal land shark he refers to, he
certainly has something to feel
proud Of
An editor that would show his
virulence against an individ Aal. as
does the Jail paper cad, over the
alleged sum of $12, is too penurious
to be patronized by any kind OF a
corporation. 1t is not on account
of the money involved that this
sententious ''nomad'' so thoroughly
vents his spleen. but he took this
manner to strike blow at the pros
porous growth of the village of YES

every sense of the word, and capa-

town, and all of them bearing a
more reputable name as to honesty
and truthfulness than does the au-

jail contemporary under the heading
of Bad for Vesta.'
The author of this is another I'M

your Jail contemporary, but he came
from somewhere and landed in one
of the best towns (Vesta) in Red

FATE OF THE CIRCUIT BILL.

The Grout Oleomargarine bill, with
all of it's un-American principles and it's
selfish motives and hypocritical asser-
tions, is before congress. 1t was not up
on schedule time but is being urged
with all of the unscrupulousness that
characterized it's advocacy during the
last session of this congress.
A steering arrangement on the Army
bill gave the hint of it's death in the
senate. This intimation can hardly be
ignored or overcome.
If the butter sellers and the butter
trust have no better success in this final
fight than they had at the polls then the
bill is already dead and ready for the
journal morgue for Identification and
burial. It should be killed.
If the butter interests really mean
what they say, viz: "That oleomar-
garine should be sold only as such and
that the anti color feature in the bill is
only to accomplish that end" they
should jump at the substitute for the
Grout bill. This substitute says that
oleomargarine (whether colored or
otherwise) shall only be sold in one and
two.pound packages wrapped in tissue
The Conservative, 1900-12-20

paper, upon which shall be printed in
large black or easily observed letters the
word "oleomargarine." Around this
brick shall then be placed ribboned
two cent internal revenue stamp, stuck
to the paper so that it cannot be removed
except by the consumer.
Such bill would win in canter and
come nearer than any other method to
forcing the sale of oleomargarine in it's
own name if, as some claim, it is not so
sold now.
One would think that the dairy inter-
ests would jump at such bill if they
were sincere in the statement that they
do not desire to kill the oleomargarine
industry and were simply desirous of
having it sold as oleomargarine.
If the Grout bill should pass the house
we are reasonably assured that the
senate will strangle or kill it. If it
should pass congress we feel that the
president will find it so vicious and un-
constitutional as to veto so pernicious a
measure. Should the president affix his
signature the supreme court, upon
petition, should certainly declare such a
piece of legislation illegal and unconsti-
tutional in many respects and subver-
sive of healthful trade. The color line
alone would void such statute There
is a lane between the natural and the
artificial color of butter. Color is not
patented and one lawful product has an
equal right with another to artificial
coloring National Provisioner.

THE TREELEss COUNTRY.

IT had dream which was not all dreaml'
great state was desert, and the land
Lay bare and lfeless under sun and storm,
Treeless and shelterless. Spring came and
went,
And came, but brought no joy; but in its
stead
The desolaton of the ravine floods
That leaped like wolves wildcats from the
hills,
And spread destruction over fruitful farms,
Devouring as they went the works of man,
And sweeping southwark natures kindly soil
To choke the water courses, worse than waste.
The forest trees that in the olden time
The peoples glory and the poets pride
Tempered the air and guarded well the earth,
And under spreading boughs for ages kept
Great reservoirs to hold the snow and rain,
From which the moisture through the teeming
year
Flowed equally but freely-all were gone
Their priceless holes exchanged for petty cash.
The cash had melted, and had left no sign;
The logger and the lumberman were dead;
The axe had rusted out for lack of use;
But all the endless evil they had done
Was manifest upon the desert waste.
Dead springs no longer sparkled in the sun;
Lost and forgotten brooks no longer laughed ;
Deserted mills mourned all their moveless
wheels;
The snow no longer covered as with wool
Mountain and plain, but buried starving
focks
In Arctic drifts in rivers and canals
The vessels rotted idly on the mud,
Until the spring floods buried all their bones
Great cities that had thriven wondrously
Before the source of thrift was swept away,
Faded and perished, as plant will die
With water banished from it's roots and leaves
And men sat starving in the treeless waste,
Beside their fruitless farms and empty marts,
And wondered at the ways of Providence!

MUST THE PHILIPPINE WAR GO ON?

We have been mistaken in the Filipino.
He is not an ignorant, passionate savage
who can be either frightened or whipped
into submission while there remains to
him chance to fight for his native land.
The Filipinos have been fighting us
twice as long as the Beers have been
fighting England, and Englands pros
pect of soon finishing her task is very
much brighter than ours. The Filipino
is man with a cause for which he is
willing to die. He may be weary of the
war, but he has made the American
people weary of it, too. AS he has in
comparably more at stake in the struggle
than we have, it is to be expected that
his stubbornness will continue to be dis
heartening to the Jingoes.
It is war from which this great
nation can reap no glory, even were
complete success assured, and the profit
of the enterprise is not perceptible. The
American republic can afford to do
what is best for itself, materially and
morally, even though that should in
volve the freedom of the Filipinos. The
democrats were quite right in their
campaign contention that the attempt
to rule the Filipinos without their con-
sent, and in spite of their fierce and
sanguinary protest, does violence to the

AS THE GERMAN SEES US.

"a Self Made Man. A Story for
Good Little Boys is the caption of
clever satire on American character
which appeared recently in the St.
Petersburg Zeitung, German paper
published at St. Petersburg, Russia.
THE CONSERVATIVE is indebted to the
Literary Digest for the following trans
lation:
"There was once little boy, and his
name was Freddie. He did much for
the entertainment of the neighborhood
by fishing in other peoples private
ponds and picking other peoples fruits.
When he was scolded for it he would
proudly say: Il am free citizen of
free country The neighbors wanted
his father to whip him, but the father
said he would not thus degrade future
president of the United States. Such
things could be done only in enslaved
Europe. And Freddie grew and pros
pered. He always attacked boys who
were weaker than himself, beat them,
and took away their pennies in the name
of civilization and humanity. For, in
Freddie's veins ran strong and pure the
undiluted blood of the noble Anglo.

"One day Freddies father was told
that his son had swindled friend of the
family with a bogus dollar, and had
gotten 85 cents change. And the father
was deeply moved, and said: Il always

letter and spirit of the Declaration of
Independence. Had imperialism" been
the only issue, Bryan, and not McKin-
ley, would today be the president elect,
for there are millions of republicans
who agree with the defeated rather
than the successful candidate on this
question.
To the North American it would seem
wise were President Mckinley not to
ignore the significance of the marked
falling off of the party vote in the old
surely republican states where elm
perialism" was most discussed. 1t
would be wise were he to take counsel
of such, republicans as Senators Hoar
and Hale and Representative Mccall
and Littlefeld. Their party standing
cannot be questioned, though they hold
to what has unfortunately become tenn
porarily the democratic doctrine that
the constitution should follow the
flag.
Why should there not be an effort
made to end the war by means of nego-
tiation? Why should the Filipinos not
be asked to say through their leaders
what terms, if any, they will accept
short Of the REIMBURSEMENT of American
sovereignty and the recognition of their
independence?
And if thus reasonably approached
they should reject every proposal which
refuses them independence, has not the
time arrived for rational Americans to
put the question to their common sense
whether it is worth while for this re-
public to go on indefinitely with the
drudgery of slaughter in order forcibly
to annex people who will hate us for
generations in the future, as they hated
Spain for generations in the past?-

day cut, and ran to the spot where it
was evident that a conflict was going
on. It was but some forty yards away,
and as he approached he made out four
ngureS who were lodging round a
doorway and were evidently attacking
some one standing there. The Unequal
ity of the combat was sufficient to ap-
peal to the sailors sympathies. The
sand that lay thick in the street had
deadened his footsteps, and his presence
was unmarked till his stick descended
with sharp crack on the uplifted
wrist Of one of the assailants, eliciting
yell of pain, while the knife ne held

there is scarce any food by the way,
rain seldom falls here, and although
the land is very rich when irrigated,
it affords but a scanty growth in its

Orchard Whiteing in the Century,
The training for trfhes begins at
birth with the infant of fashion. It is
very much the business of his nurse
to see that light and air do not visit
him too roughly. His swaddling-clothes
are a marvel CT completeness as non
conductors of the winds of heaven. AS
soon as he is old enough to understand
things you see him toddling out with
his tutor a grave ecclesiastic, who
watches over him at work and play,
and puts the right notions into his
mind. The ties thus formed are never
wholly severed. The priest attends to
all the goings out and the comings in.
When ball is the game. he is there to
see his charge does not hurt himself,
nor hurt the ball. He makes the lad
gravely polite, and grounds him in the
secondary religion of the salute on
the principle of no game of shuttIecock
without blow to your partner He
also, Of course, grounds him in his hu-
manities. At this early age, the child
is not sent to school. He is coached
at home by the priest, and taken once
or twice a week to what is called a
cour, an establishment where private
teaching is tested by public examina-
tons. The cour directs the studies,
and determines proficiency in them by
question and answer. Tutor and pupil
prepare as best they can in the IN
terVal.
The essence Of the system is the ex-
clusiOn Of everything from the boys
mind that ought not to be there. So he
is under the strictest supervision from
first to last. The priest takes him to
the cour and fetches him away again.
