c POLITICS.

In these times of great political eX-
citement the men of Montana should not
forget that only one governor and two
senators are to be elected, that the en-
tire state ticket numbers fewer than a
dozen names. Thus as far as the big
offices are concerned only one man in five
thousand can possibly secure one of
them. In view of this fact it is obvi-
ously unwise if not actually foolish, for
the citizens of this state to lose track
of their own interests in a frenzy of ex-
element about the election or defeat of
a few candidates for public position. The
thing for the average citizen to do is to
study the issues and use his best judg-
ment in deciding what ticket to support
for his own and his country's best in
%terest, and then to give his time and at
tention exclusively to his own business
and domestic affairs. The average man
who works with his hands for a living
should make all the money he can legit-
imately, save as much of it as possible,
take good care of his family, do some
good ITO those who are unfortunate, and
benefit nor satisfaction in quarreling
with ones neighbors and friends about
politics or mining company collars"
Those who waste their time in so doing
soon lose interest in their work, frequent
ly lose their work and find themselves, at
the end of a campaign, without money,
friends or influence and with a long, hard
winter approaching. When a man votes
in strict accordance with his convictions
he has lone his full duty as an American
citizen and Injuries only himself by
spending his time tearing down or build
ing up some mans political character.
When an election is over what do the
successful candidates care as a rule for
friends or enemies? Generally nothing.
The wise man therefore is he who at
tends strictly to his W business, lays
up money for a rainy day, spends his sur
| plus for useful things and does not wor-
nv about the selfish rivalries of profess
sional politicians who so frequently have
neither merit nor ability to recommend
them.
That there are a few men who stand
on street corners, never work and never
miss a drink and who look prosperous is
true. They are usually on some pay roll
and their mission is to stir up strife and
trouble and induce good men to become
excited about imaginary dangers. to con-
vince them their liberties are in peril

VICTORY.

Chicago Tribune: With the defeat of
Coler's candidacy and the passing of Hill
the control of the democracy of the State
of New York is secured by Richard Gro
ker, boss of Tammany, and, as Bryan's
lieutenant, he is dangerously near the
control of the national democratic party.
Political control has been variously held
in the Empire state. In the early days
it was contended for by rich and nflu-
entail families, among whom the Clin-
tons and Livingstons were conspicuous.
Then the Albany regency fought it's
famous contests with the whig combina-
ton of Weed, Seward & Co.. Boss Kelly
sought to grasp the reins of power and
dictate policies and candidates from the
Tammany WigWam, but his schemes
We're thwarted by Tilden, who was an
ADLER n more astute politician. Croker
has succeeded where his predecessor
failed. In 1883 Croker was boss for ov-
ernor Hill. In 1892 he opposed Cleveland
at Chicago and declared ne could not
carry New York, and that Hill, who was
his candidate could. In 1896 Croker and
Hill came to the parting OF the roads n
each took a different one, n for four
years the two men AVE been at swords
points, Croker fighting TO extend his
power and secure control of the party
in the state, Hill struggling to regain
lost ground.
The issue between them was squarely
made at the recent convention. When
Coler, Hills candidate for governor, per-
sonally assailed Croker, and Hill him
self in his Troy address or Labor Day
indirectly characterized him as a dema-
gogue, Croker accepted it as a wager OF
battle. The contest was so brief n
decisive as hardly to be called one. By
the exercise Of his brutal, autocratic
power he named his own candidates and
nominated them, and the absolute con-
troll of the New York, state democracy
passed into his hands. Tammany hence-
forward dominates it, n Croker dom
mates Tammany. The ex-senator, gov
ernor, and political leader of the New
York democracy found himself deserted
by some of his oldest friends and has
gone down in defeat which is irrepara-
BILE. Once it was Hills boast II am a
democrat" but he has been deposed by a
man who may correctly claim to be the

likely that 1.-THE peanut politician" as
Croker contemptuously called him, Will

tics. His career is closed.

IN T

A more enthusiastic and intelligent au-
dience never assembled anywhere tina
that which greeted Theodore Roosevelt
last night at Columbia Gardens.
The building was packed with atten-
tive, thoughtful, independent men who
went there to be instructed and to make
up their minds how to vote. They en-
joyed the speeches. The logic Of the
speakers was convincing, their manner
candid.
There is nothing of the regulation cam
paiSn orator about Mr.. Roosevelt, He
does not strive for effect, he does not
weave tropes or exhaust language of its
adjectives. He says what he believes
and what he knows and says it so hat
other people may believe and know it.
He inspires confidence. He is a leader of
men. Those who saw him last night and
comprehended his nature could readily
understand why on San Juan hill, when
he said Come on, boys his rough rid
ers We're willing to follow, and did fol-
low him to the rifle pits of the enemy,
and into them or over them as the case
might require.
Roosevelt's reception in Butte was a
great ovation to a distinguished Amer
lean citizen, one who is known by intelli-
gent people all over the world as a typ
zeal American, a rancher, a huntsman.
author and politician, a reformer with
courage and energy and the will to re-
form, an executive officer of great tai
ent, a statesman, philosopher. husband.
father-all these is Theodore Roosevelt
with all the intensity and enthusiasm Of
a strong nature backed up by the ply
sique of an athlete.
No wonder. therefore, that Roosevelt
was accorded a generous reception by the
people of Butte. 1t was a reception
based on Intelligent appreciation of his
merits as a successful public man, a
dashing soldier in time of war. but chiefly
distinguished as a patriot in time of
peace.
There might have been more noise on
the street yesterday and a greater crowd
at the gardens. but the weather being
wet and an open-air meeting being i'm
possible the attendance was wisely re
stricted to the size of the hall. A larger
crowd would have been wet n incon-
venienced, but it SO happened hat the
meeting was a splendid one.
In the daytime Mr.. Roosevelt visited
the mines which have made Butte IA
nous throughout the world and when he
had concluded his inspection he under
stood why the percentage of increase
in the census reported yesterday from
Washington was greater within ten years
than that of any other city in the union.

the promotion of some private schemes
The street corner politician is not a pub
lie benefactor nor an unseLish patriot.
He is a good man to copper or let alone.
The average citizen needs no advice from
such persons: he knows what reforms
are needed, what men are unworthy Of
confidence. what mining concerns are
helpful to the public. how they are re-
lated to political questions and he knows
how to vote so as best to protect all in
terests and all rights and to preserve
peace and order in the community.
Knowing these things the average citizen
is best off when he refuses to become
excited about politics and gives his time
and attention to business and domestic
affairs, to literature. to civic reforms and
to those amusements and duties which
make life worth living and insure a pros
porous ana contented old age. sg5e

MISTAKES WITH WHEAT.

l made an unfortunate mistake
last year by sowing the larger part
of my wheat land to new variety
with which was not acquainted ex-
cept in a hearsay way. The new
wheat yielded an average of fifteen
bushels per acre and about forty nine
pounds per bushel at mills, while my
old kind of wheat, the kind we had
been growing for years, made an
average of forty bushels per acre
and sixty pounds to the bushel.
Now, [ trust my brother farmers
may profit by my experience and be
careful about sowing seed of any va
riety about which they know moth
ing. The trouble with the new seed
in my case was that it was not acci-
mated and lost about $25 thereby.
Of course this isn't large sum, but
it will count up in a few years, if not
ayerted.-W. G. Crook, Henderson
Co., Tenn.

FOR BROAD TIRES AND BETTER ROADS

Two we'll established facts, as a
large number of articles that have
appeared in The Progressive Farmer
have clearly demonstrated, are that
the use of the broad tire is very
profitable to the farmer, and that
the narrow tire is the worst enemy
of good roads. The Charlotte OBJ
server tells Us that the board of
trustees Of Charlotte township
acted upon these principles at their
recent meeting. Says the Observer ::
The most important action of the
board was the adoption OF a resolu-
ton to petition the next legislature
to pass law requiring broad tires
for wagons in Charlotte township,
according to the plan submitted by
Mr.. D. 2. HutchisOn.
The law would prohibit the sale
OF any but broad tired wagons in
this township, after a certain period.
The old narrOw-ti tired wagons could
be sold, but the purchaser would be
required to pay a small bonus for the
use Of the good roads. The proposed
law would allow all owners of mar
row tired wagons to continue to use
them until they should wear out, so
there would be no hardship in that
direction. 1t is the idea to begin the
broad tire movement just as the no.
fence law was begun-frst by town
ships, then by counties-and it is
significant that so far, there is by no
means as much opposition manifested
toward this movement as there was
against the no-fence law when it was
first started. The good roads move
ment, which started in Mecklenburg
county, has spread all over the State,
and it is altogether probable that the
broad tire movement, starting in
Charlotte township, will follow in
the wake of the good roads all over
the State

ammonia, and 2 per cent. potash
shows entirely too small an amount
of potash, and hardly enough am
monia even for cotton. 1t is useless
70 pay out money for one element of
plant food unless the other elements
are also in sufficient quantities to
enable plants to use it. For plants
require all three elements: ammonia,
phosphoric acid and potash and
their growth and yield is fixed by
the smallest of these elements pres
ent. If the fertilizer referred to had
contained per cent. potash and 3
per cent. ammonia, instead of 3 per
cent. of these elements, it would
have been much better adapted to
the cotton crop, for which it was
sold.
Too little is known about the soil
and crops we cultivate, and the
farmer must work his brain if he ex-
poets the work of his hands to be
successful. And he should demand
in his fertilizers those elements of
plant food in the right proportion to
insure the best development of his
crop. F. J. MERRIAM.

The rural delivery of mail grows
rapidly in popularity. One Of the
three Raleigh rural postmen here
says that in September he landed on
his route 2,273 pieces of mail, but
that in October there were 3,773. Of
the latter he took up $50 letters from
people on the route. 1t is a good
showing. The country people are
delighted with the system.
