To the Voters of Paragould:
On account of being afflicted with
rheumatism in my shoulders am not
able to get around town to see the
voters, but will continue in the race for
city treasurer until the polls are closed
on the first Of April. My friends are
requested to bear this in mind and

do for me.

Ed Perkins showed us yesterday a
bill for the machinery Of the new ice
plant calling for a remittance Of $27 800.
We suppose this is the largest bill for
machinery ever shipped at one time to
Greene County.
Emmett Newsom, the well-known
drummer, spent yesterday in the city.
He is red hot Parrish man and says
the falsehoods published about Parrish:
being drunk will help him, as it has
aroused his friends and has won the
sympathy and support OF voters not
heretofore for him. He says that he is
certain that Parrish will carry Jones'
boro two to one and that he will carry
Craighead county. He thinks, too,
that Parrish will carry Poinsett and
says the people are solid for him around
Weincr and Fisher.
The senatorial fight around Piggott
waxeth warm, as we are informed.
Fisticuffs and bloody noses testify to
the ardor of the contending forces for
Clarke and Jones. Billie Bifle, Clarke
man and the railroad agent, Jones
man, had set to, and Lon Royal, a
Clarke man and cashier of the bank,
was only preven.,d from pounding a
Jones man by the main strength and
awkwardness of by-standers. These
"skirmages" followed upon the heels Of
the Jones' Clarke debate there last week.
In Paragould we don't fight over poli-
tics. We stand off at safe distance and
call one another liars through the news

INSULT ONLY FOR MILES.

The correspondence transmitted by the
suggestion that he forward the papers
bearing on the request of Gen. Miles to
be assigned to duty in the Philippines
makes mighty interesting reading What
ever else it makes plain, there can be no
doubt left after reading it that the lieu
tenant general Of the United States army
has been and is now the merest figure
head He is not only without the conf
dence of his superior officers; but they
seem to regard themselves as at liberty
to treat with contumely most if not all
of the suggestions he offers with refer
ence to the administration of military af-
fairs.
President Roosevelt does not content
himself with transmitting the cor
respondence as requested, and letting con-
gress reach its own conclusions as to the
rightfulness or otherwise of the sugges-
tons of the lieutenant general. He sends
accompanying the documents a strong
special plea directed not only against the
propriety and wisdom of the suggestion
of the lieutenant general but against the
propriety of his conduct generally, and
virtually, if not expressly, charges him
with INSTRUMENTATION.
The construction which the president
places on Gen. Miles request and the
motives which urged it is strained to the
breaking point in many directions. It
seems harmless request at the best for
the commanding officer to ask to be per-
mitted to go to the Philippines and bring
with him certain Of the natives of
Porto Rico and Cuba with view to con-
veying through actual touch and inter-
course their understanding of the ulti-
mate effect on the interests Of the natives

RED RIVER VALLEY CORN.

The Red River valley, not satisfied with
the glory of being the worlds chief bread
basket, because of its wheat has its
eye new upon corn, the king product of
the Central West They are breeding new
corn varieties up there, especially for
Red River valley climate and seasons.
Having given that cereal the experience
of several seasons to get acclimated
and thereby to accommodate it's growth
to the brief period between frost and
nounce that they have bred varieties of
such hustling abilities that quick and
abundant crops are practically assured.
The Commercial West, commenting
upon the corn prospects of this far north
valley, says; The time is coming when
the exclusive wheat crop will be passed
on over the line into Canada and the
Red River valley this side Of the line will
be a country of diversified farming"
Corn in the Red River valley wheat
country has in important secondary mis-
sion, aside from it's main purpose Of fur
nishing raw material for meat and dairy
production, and that is, in fitting the
soil for wheat and fax culture. Weeds
and shallow and insufficient culture are
the great enemies Of the Red River valley
country, and, for that matter, of the en-
tire domain from Big Stone lake to Win

for both. One corn crop is of more
value to the soil in this respect than
season of summer fallow, and the latter
brings in no returns. Corn for fodder
even is more profitable than hay; while
the corn roots perform valuable mis-
sion both in fertilization and in the eff
feet upon the texture of the soil.
The manner in which old-time theories
regarding Northwestern agricultural re
sources are yearly exploded, reminds one
that forty years ago Minnesota even was
thought to be too far north to do much in
farming. IN those days, winter wheat
was thought to be the only thing in the
DICdNiSlull lle1 anu DIS AiLlileSCid WAS uOC
reliable for winter wheat, why, this state
had no mission in the cereal line. In
wheat, butter and potatoes we now stand
at the top, and North Dakota and Man
itoba are coming after us at a rapid
gait. There is no question that the
greatest wheat country in the world to-
day is north of the United States border
IN Manitoba. Assiniboia and Saskatche-
wan. There is where the hardest kernel,
most rich III gluten, comes from; and Of
this superfine bread making material
there was produced, on land that cost
81 to $40 per acre, during the past sea-
son, crops of thirty to as high as sixty
bushels per acre. AS recently noted by
T h e G o e. this far north country
last year also broke some world rec
ords in potato production. And now,
not to be outdone by the feats of the
Manitoba farmers the Red River valley
hustlers are turning out corn to beat the
Southland meanwhile RELOCATING bliz-
yards to the effete East.

of the Philippines of their acceptance of
our rule. It is no more reprehensible to
suggest that certain chosen natives Of the
Philippines might visit this country and
derive through personal experience the
view of American purposes which all
Americans would like to see prevail
among the natives of the archipelago
But neither of these proposals seems to
impress the president as being offered in
good faith, and they do seem to impress
him as designed to interfere with the au-
thority of the military and civil officials
in charge there. And suppose they did
SO operate during Gen. Miles sojourn in
the islands, what of it? He is the COM
handing general of the American forces.
Surely no soldier would regard the pres
ence of his commanding officer as inter-
fering WITH his prerogatives of COM
mand or otherwise, when designed to ac-
complisn the temporary purpose not in
them?
1t is not necessary to accept the wisdom
of the plan of Gen. Miles to be satisfied
that it is entitled to respectful treatment
That it did not receive either from the
president or the secretary of war. On
the contrary, Secretary Roots treatment
of it is plainly insulting, and designed so
TO be. The president charges Gen Miles
in so many words with INSTRUMENTATION
and with seeking to discredit the plans
and purposes of the administration in the
Philippines. This construction is, as we
say, so strained as to be palpable The
president is not only severe. He is unjust
For the honor of the American army,
and for the good name of loyal brave
and able soldier, no American, however
lightly he may estimate the judgment or
good sense of the commanding general.

Mankato and Winona appear to make
specially good showing in regard to eco
nomical financial n ana gement. Winona
has about twice the population of Man
kato-20,6OO as against 1868. The assess
ed valuation in each case is 40 per cent
of true value. The tax rate is 20 mills
for Mankato and 3O.S mills in Winona--
the latter town expanding mills more
than the former on schools. The total as
sessed valuation is about in the ratio of
popUIation-$660 500, 900 for WirCna and 49,
100000 for Mankato. The bonded debt
is IN similar ratic-$197OO and $685., 900.
The city tax rate arproximates IA mills
in each of the two towns, which is one
third less than that of the average; and
the per capi:a debt is about $50 or per
haps half that of the average Western
town.
BY way of comparison, West Superior,
which has so per cent larger population
than Winona, collects 165 per cent more
taxes and has 250 per cent heavier debt.
The debt per capita is $46 in West su-
perior and $50 in Winona, and in proper
ton to assessed valuation is per cent
in West Superior and 6 per cent in Wi
mona. 1t is apparent that the lessons
of municipal economy which Mayor John
sons statistics teach may be of value
to more than one municipality.

TO the city council Of Fargo, as shown
hy the advance statistics furnished bv
him to the Commercial West will
contain fiscal facts of more general in
terest than the average document Of
that kind is supposed to contain. The
Fargo mayor has gone to the labor of
compiling the tax statistics of Western
cities Of 5000 to $1,000 population. Civ
lhg the tax rates for city, school county
and. state purposes, the population and
assessed valuation, and the bonded debt
The figures are of fully as great interest
to Minnesota municipalities. as to Far
90. and Minnesota mayors Of small cities
would do well to get Mayor Johnson's
tables and lay them before their re-
speetive city councils and taxpayers.
Thirty-five cities Of which six are
in North Dakota. eight in Minnesota and
four in Iowa, contribute their financial
facts to Mayor Johnson's table. The
comparisons make interesting reading.

but likewise, considering its population
