REPUBLICAN politicians now free
ly admit that nothing can save
the party from defeat unless the
president can be induced to make
some sort of ''grand stand" play
in favor of the Beers on the eve
of election in the hope of winning
back some of the German voters
who have left the party on the
issue of imperialism. They realize
that it will be necessary for the
president to enter into some sort
of a understanding with England
that whatever may be said is purely
for political purposes and for the
purpose of continuing the Anglo
American secret alliance that now
exists. But it is doubtful if Eng
land can afford to agree to any
such move AS the whole world
condemns her policy in South
Africa.

The silver republicans propose
to revive the teachings of Lincoln,
and under the title of Lincoln
republicans show the people how
far they have been steered by the
leaders now in power, from the
policy of the old time republican
leaders who built up the party.
The different states throughout
the union that are endorsing Bryan
as their candidate are adopting
platforms that include all the
essential principles of government
that Abe Lincoln advanced as his
religion and life work and for
which he became a martyr.

THE PEOPLES WILL.

In expressing his approval of
the constitutional amendment
providing for the election of
United States senators by direct
vote of the people, Bryan effect
lively points out the evils existing
under the present method and
makes a strong plea for the con-
templated reform.
1t is undeniably true that the
selection of senators by state
legislatures enables men to get
into the United States senate who
we're not the choice of the people.
1t is equally true that senatorial
contests interfere with the real
duties of a legislature at great
expense to the people, the most
recent proof of the truth of this
icing found in the fact that last
year four state legislatures were
thus deadlocked throughout entire
sessions. And it is certainly true
that if the people are Intelligent
enough to elect governors and
congressman they are intelligent
enough to elect senators.
There is no doubt that public
sentiment is heartily in favor OF
the change of election methods
proposed in the constitutional
amendment now awaiting definite
action in congress. There is NO
doubt that the personnel of the
United States senate will be i'm
proved if this reform shall be put
into effect. There will be fewer
millionaires in the senate, and
fewer men whose sole desire for a
seat in thai august body is basel1
on belief that they can there best
advance certain interests not al
ways in harmony with the general
welfare. The senate will be
closer to the people, more genuine
ly representative and, therefore.
more truly American IN nature
and achievement.
The proposed amendment to the
constitution is wise and timely.
It is to be hoped that the national
congress shall see fit to act favor.
ably on the resolution authorizing
it. The popular feeling is strong
in its favor, and the people are
prepared to heartily endorse the
accomplished reform.

SHIP SUBSIDY BILL.

Having passed the Porto Rican
tariff bill at the bidding of the
sugar and tobacco trusts, the re-
publican senate and house Of rep
resentatiyes will now proceed to
enact into law the Ubiquitous ship
subsidy bill. Its astounding with
what boldness and utter disregard
of pablo sentiment the admins
tration party hurries from one
piece Of monopoly legisltion to
another. The ship subsidy bill
constitutes as fragrant an act OF
special favorit1sm for the benefit
of the syncicates as was the high
protective tariff bill in the first
place and the Porto Rican tariff
bill itself, the shameful outcome
Of imperialist opportunity and
syndicate greed. The republican
party has plainly organized its
machinery as factory for the
manufacture of laws, the sole
object of which is the further
enrichment of the monopoly caste
Of which Mark Hanna is the execu-
tive Brahman. Whether the
American people will remain lon
ger in passive submission to I'M
just and oppressive legislation Of
this character is a question for the
near future to determine. The ship
subsidy bill will place upon them
an additional tax burden Of $780,,
100000. It is a clear and fragrant
case Of robbing the people for the
benefit Of this select gang of mo-
nopolist.
It is understood now that the
ship subsidy bill will be given
place as unfinished business on
the senate calendar, so that it
may be promptly taken up and pas
sed. It will be made, in effect, a
party measure. The people should
watch the well-oiled rapdity Of it's
progress towards enactment It is
notable continuation of the Sc
ries Of object lessons proving the
complete subserviency of republic
anism to trustism.

FLAX is MT much harder on the
land than wheat, but neither
should be continually grown on
the same land, nor should the two
in alienation be continually
grown. In rare instances in this
portion of America, a flax disease,
apparently in the roots, has made
its appearance. Prof. Sheppard,
of the Fargo agricultural college,
who took part in the Farmers
Institute here a couple Of months
ago, says be has grown flax con-
tinuously on a plot Of land for
several years, with no disease
appearing, and still gets fairly
good crops, though he does not
recommend such a course. In
Holland where the disease pre-
walls, fax is not put on a field
oftener than once in five years.
The disease is not we'll understood
but some Belgian scientist has
recently stated that it is disease
of the roots, probably not bacterial
but possibly due to chemical
irritant.
