Between the strong warranty you get on
Champion Binders & Mowers,
And the contract you sign when you buy
anv other kind

warranty of value except it in exact form as
issued by the company and if changed any way the COM
pany not bound by it. is it any protection to you
The Champion warranty evidence OF the superiority
of the machines and made strong and positive for your
protection
The warranties given with other machines carefully
drawn for the protection of the manufacturer and II you sign
on chances that you will have to settle for the ma
chine even if is satisfactory These warrantles are
good thing the machine company but poor thing for you
All warranties that machines durable we'll made
and of good materials and give you days trial to deter
mine all this.
What can you tell about the durability OF a.
machine by using it one day?
But how about its work in the field This you can tell at
least something about but there isn't word about IN the
warranty only some directions about what you to do when
the machine doesn't work we'll Isn't this singular
How about wasting grain between the binder deck and the
elevator About lack Of power when COMPRISING the bun

when cutting tough grass Just at the time you need the most
power you have the least
In their advertising all makers claim to have device for
keeping the knife and pman in line but only the Champion
has it. and others dare not put it in the warranty
You should insist having these very important features
included in the warranty. you do may have on oppor

echo. This is said to be a plan pre-
arranged by President Mckinley, Senator
Hanna and other Republican leaders. To
carry out such movement will not only
be OF benefit to them, but will give the
people Of Philadelphia, anxious to make
money out Of the convention, a much bet.
ter opportunity to do so. 1t will, as a
matter of fact, assist the citizens of that
town in, at least. getting back the $1OO. 900
pledged to the national committee, which
caused them so much time and worry to
collect.
The advantages of Philadelphia over
Kansas City are many, as ] have stated
in the past. The indications therefore.
seem to foreshadow much more enthu-
stasm at the Republican convention than
at the Democratic. While Kansas City
IS, perhaps. more central to the entire
United States, the Western people going
to a convention would prefer to spend a
few days at Philadelphia and the sea-
shore rather than at Kansas City, where

A TIMELY PROTEST.

The protest wired to Washington by
Gov. Smith, of Montana, against the
tricky attempt on the part of Clark to
break into the United States senate is
timely and commendable The governor
gives voice to the sentiment not only Of
the decent people of the state of Mon
tana, but of the entire country. The res
ignation of Clark simply confirms all that
has been said concerning his supposed
election, and shows him to be a man
capable of resorting to any expedient,
however questionable, to secure a seat in
the higher branch of the national legis-
lature.
There might have been some reason for
doubling whether Clark was not dealt
with somewhat severely in the action
taken by the committee in recommending
his expulsion, especially since it has been
shown that the prosecution of the case
against him in the senate has been due
largely to tie influence of Marcus Daily,
his political and personal enemy. But
this subterfuge against which Gov. Smith
protests reveals Clark as careless Of
methods so long as results happen to be
satisfactory to him
1t is serious reelection on the char
acter of the United States senate when it
becomes possible to elect to membership
in it men who have so low a conception
of the honorable character Of public sta
tion as Clark has shown. 1t lies with the
senate to defend itself against this latest
attempt to break into 1t. The least that
give to the Montana governor the opEor-
tunity he asks to be fully heard be-
fore the committee on privileges ard cleo
tons on the appointment under when
Clark will for second time claim a seat.
The decent thing for w. A. Clark to do
now. under all The circumstances, as
Stunning that he considers that the de-
cencies of life are at all to be considered
in connection with political transactions,
IS to withdraw as gracefully as he can
from the false position which. he is made
TO occupy. There is little chance Of his
being able to rehabilitate himself politi-
caIy even If he does withdraw: but his
continuance in his present situation until
he has once more been kicked through
the senate chamber door will cost him not
only his political existence, but will sue
coed in burying III Che same grave any
respect which he might be said to have
possessed before in the estimation Of the
American people.

Antique IDEA.
That the ImperfaIIsts Refuse to Rec
OGnize at This Time.

Ihht the Alnper1aI1StS Refuse to Rec
OEnize at This Time.
New York World
Senator Hoar says he is ''sick of hear
ing people say that since this wretched
imperialistic business we have become a
first-class world power" His opinion IS
that the United States came out of the
War of 1872 first-class power and hes
been first-class power ever since"
There is much In history to justify this
decidedly un-Republcan view Of the
senior senator from Massachusetts,
senior in experience as a statesman,
though junior in present popularity with
his party.
For instance, Napoleon III. must have
mistaken us for a, first-class power when
on hint from Washington that a MexI-
can empire propped on French bayOnets
was not agreeable to us he withdrew tho
bayonets and left Macmillan to his fate.
For another instance the British gov.
crnment that agreed about twenty-five
years ago to arbitrate the Alabama
claims and paid us S15 100000 under the
Geneva award must have fancied we were
a iirst-cIass power And more recently,
In the Venezuelan episode, there waa
plenty Of evidence that Lord Salisbury
had no idea of treating Us as a second
class nation.
Mr. Hoar's idea that the United States
was a world power before it went on an
imperial excursion into Asia is a little
antique on the Republican side Of the
country 1t was in fashion IN the Lincoln
and Grant periods. Perhaps it will be
fashionable again next fall.
