The character of the Senatorial bill
to gerrymander the State is evidenced
by the fact that the Republican mem

caucus bill through to a second reading

ORGANIC ROT.

Senator Elkins's press bureau seems
to have enthusiastically entered upon
a campaign of throwing boquets at the
big boss. At all events the Republic
can press has broken out simultan-
eously in spots with the most ford
eulogy of the Senator from West Vlr-
einia. Most of this encomium is of the
~S.ereotyped variety, kept in stock to
Ct any case, while some of the eulo-'
qiats are quite reckless and regardless
of truth in plastering the mighty boss
with "~taffy." For example, we thus
fnd the New York Tribune displaying
is ignorance of true conditions in
West Virginia:
Settling in that State after a thorough
training as a territorial delegate in Con-
gress, Mr.. Elkins rose to leadership and
organized the forces for the overthrow of
the old and outworn order which had re-
tarded the States development"
To characterize this as reckless
statement is to put it mildly, indeed.
That Mr.. Elkins has become a factor
: in the development of this State by
Identifying himself with long ago es-
ished industries no n will dis
nor is there any desire to deprive
IS of due credit for whatever
t development may be his,
Lim as a sort Of pioneer
Mas industrial progress,
rowing" anything that
6rde0 inc same, or as establishing
- new order of progress is to give Mr..
Elkins credit that does lot belong to
him n which does belong to such
pioneers of West Virginia's develop
ment and industrial growth as
Henry G. Davis and Johnson
N. Camden. Mr.. Elkins has simply
connected himself with vast interests
that existed and were we'll established
before his advent into West Virginia.
He has simply assisted in rearing the
superstructure, the foundation of which
was laid by others, and by Democrats.
What Mr.. Elkins has helped to "over-
throw" in the "old and outworn Or
der is wise and liberal and honest
Democratic government, under which
this State made its first and longest
strides on the road to prosperity. What
he has helped to upbuild has been a
State government Of politicians, by
politicians and for politicians, a pOlit-
ical machine. reckless. lawless, ex-
%travagant and incompetent, which has
I done more to override popular rights,
bring disgrace upon the State and re-
tard its welfare han any other fac
tor.
Eulogists are too prone to give rein
to Imagination and to use language
with more regard for it's sound than its
meaning. This failing is markedly
prevalent among Mi. Elkins's organic
p~anegyTists.

MANLY FORBEARANCE IN KANSAS

1t is a question whether it is mark
ed evidence of bravery on the part of
Mrs. Nation to bullyrag and black
guard officials and destroy the prop
erty of persons knowing that she is
protected by her sex from the summary
vengeance that usually follows such
acts.
Does she not really pay a high
tribute to the very persons she brands
so carelessly as murderers, p~erjurers
and rascals by placing her implicit re-
lance on their chivalry and manly
f~orebearance, which she we'll knows
will shield her from the consequences
of her violent acts?
1t might be considered only strict
justice to one who so far unsexes her.
self as to do the things that Mrs.
Nation does to treat her as a man
would be treated who attempted SINH
lar violence. At any rate it is highly
creditable to the manhood of those
Kansas citizens whom Mrs. Nation
feels herself free TO BLACKBOARD and
denounce at her pleasure while de-
~stroying their property. that they have
never yet under all sorts of provoca-
ton and abuse met violence with VIC
lence, but have uniformly shown due
manly respect to the sex which she
herself %abandons. 1t is highly credit
able to western manhood, but anything
but creditable to Mrs. Nations woman
hood.

North Dakota will profit from the
investment of $40, 900 in an exhibit at
Buffalo. Lieut.. Gov. Bartlett, who is
on the way back from Buffalo, says.
During the past few weeks fourteen
eastern farmers that l. know of have
gone into North Dakota to buy land
and become citizens of the state as a
result of the advertising we have done
at Buffalo in connection with the ex-
hibit. I believe that the number of
actual settlers and land purchasers
whom we have attracted to the state
by that exhibit will number over 100.
That in addition to the vast amount
Of indirect benefit which the state has
gained. From my talk with the hun
dreds OF eastern farmers who have Wis
tied our exhibit I End that they have
practically given up the idea of COM
peting with the west in general farm
ing. They will have faith in their
truck farming and the other smaller
items, but or the big staples they have
handed the big business over to the
west. Farmers boys who called on
us are greatly interested in Minnesota
and the Dakotas. 1t means a large
amount of high class immigration to
these states in the next few years. It
is also astonishing to see how little
many Of the farmers OF New York and
New England know of the west in spite
Of the vast amount of travel between
the two sections of the country. When

THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE.

Copies of the brochure issued by the
state Pan-American commission at
Buffalo, for the purpose of advertising
the state to the homeseeker and 2grl-
culturist have been received in the
city. While excellent from the stand
point of typography and embelllshed
with many artistic views, 1t would ap-
pear to the casual observer that 1T is a
little jug-handled with reference to the
proportion devoted to that part of the
state in which the homeseeker can find
the home he is looking after, n that
portion which is settled to such an ex-
tent that the man of moderate means
can find no opening. There are thir-
teen pages devoted to the central and
western part of the state, where the
homes for settlers are to be found, and
forty-fve pages devoted to the settled
Red River valley country. The few
pages devoted to the Missouri slope
show it to be a region of cowboys and
wild cattle set Off with a couple of Bad
Lands buttes. It would that sew
eral Of the pages devoted to the fire
festival at Fargo and the lagoons
about Mayville might have been spared
for the publication Of a view Of the
state capitol with its handsome grove,
the immense Irvine plant which keeps
down the price of Irvine to the farmer.
and some views Of farming scenes in
the central, western and northern, part
of the state, avoiding the impression
that agriculture is not carried on wes7
of the Red river. AS the brochure
stands, North Dakota has no state cap
itol worthy a place with the other pub
lie institutions. Doubtless the publ
cation will benefit the state, but il
would appear that a little more space

part of the state would not have beer
