rapidly coming to see that it Is to their
advantage to 60 into stock raising more
heavily than heretofore and they are nat
uraily taking advantage OF the great op-
portunlties TO go into cattle raising for
butter purposes: Creameries are being
built all over the Red River country and
as result hundreds of thousands Of dol

The drainage work throughout that

Mr.. White has been selected to

Of that event he said yesterday: Il am

will stimulate the industry everywhere,
and its educational value cannot be over
estimated Our Minnesota exhibitors
ought to fare well, as they have the ad-
vantage of a year of monthly contests in
cur own state. The interest taken in 1ur
monthly contests has been a surprise 10
us. In view of the national contest our
state contests are likely to be Temporal

permanently. Nine out Of every ten ex-

RESULTS OF RALLIES
UPSET OLD THEORIES
Programme fer Busy
Week.

The results of the meetings of the first
week in the Democratic campaign have
shattered all the old-time ideas touching
the valuation of political mass meetings.
The immense meetings held by the
Democrats are unprecedented IN mu-
nicipal politics, and their popularity
which has given the voters, irrespective
of former political utilization, opportu>
mites to voice their Endorsement OF the
Democratic ticket, has set a new seal
of worth on the formerly despised and
ValuelesS rally.
The Democratic committee on halls and
speakers has provided at the request
of the several ward organizations,
twelve mass meetings. for this week
Tuesday and Saturday are registration
days, and no meetings Will be held
Monday night six meetings will be held
in as many wards, including the first
meeting in the Seventh ward. Two meet
ings are scheduled for Wednesday night;
three for Thursday night and one for
Friday evening. The committee yester-
day announced the following schedule Of

the consigning of the other to the waste

usual gathering of decrepit and those
who have an ak to grind are to be found

mail comes their chance to have a word

TWO KINDS OF PEOPLE.

There are two kinds of people on earth
today,
lust two kinds of people. no more, 1 say.
Not the sinner and saint, for tits well un-
The good are half bad and the bad are
half good.
Not the rich and poor. for to count a
mans wealth
You must first know the state of his con-
science and health.
Not the humble and proud. for in Hfe's
little span
Who puts on vain airs is not counted a
man.
Not the happy and sad, for the swift fly
ing years
Bring each man his laughter and each
man his ears.
No; the two kinds of people on earth 1
mean
Are the people who lift, and the people
who lean.
Wherever you go you will find the worlds
masses
Are always divided in just these two
classes.
And oddly enough you will find. too, L
wean,
There is only one litter to twenty who
lean.
In which class are you? Are you easing
the load
Of overtaxed filters who toll down the
road?
Or are you a leaner who lets others bear
Your portion of labor, and worry. and

pRoHTLEss HERoIsM.

Does it pay to be a living hero for
the iconoclastic Americans? Is there
not more of an award in ridicule and
abuse than there is in contemporary
fame? When our people get chance
TO set a man on a high pedestal don't
they take the next chance to knock
him down and like it the better the
farther he falls?
There is Hobson, for example Wher-
ever he goes the papers jeer him, and
yet Hobson is as gallant young Amer
lean as ever risked life and limb for
the flag. But the kissing story has
long since eclipsed the fame of the
Merrimac exploit and now there are
swimming stories and street car sensa-
tons added. No wonder the young man
wants to get out of the Navy, Tor MS
treatment athere,1 though more delicate,
is equally disquieting.
Dewey had a taste of popular ridl-
Guile when he had the temerity to pass
on to his wife the house his admirers
had given him.. General Shafter is al

go. which he so splendidiy won. as an
unwieldy fat man, far in the rear OF
his troops, and sweatily cursing from
his cot. Neither Sampson nor Schley
got much comfort out of their honors.
Enthusiasm for Cervera in the United
States was latterly greater than that
for either of them. Four years ago
Fighting Bob Evans was popular
idol; now they call him Talking Bob.
Funston is coming in for all sorts OF
ridicule; they say he can't swim. AS
for Otis and Macarthur, nobody knows
of them any more.
So we are up to the question again;
Does it pay to be a living American
hero. Is not the post of honor the pri-
vate station?
