MEDICINE LODGE, KANSAS, JULY 2s 1902

THE only republican from Barber
county excepting Congressman Long
and his secretary, r. II. Faxon,) who
heard Senator Burton's speech Of ex-
Nplanation at Topeka was l.. Nj. AK
line, senior editor of the Cresset, and
in last weeks issue be says it was 1.-The
poorest, most illogical and least argu-
mentative speech" he ever heard HIM
make. We are informed. however,
tina: Mr.. Axline does not voice the sem
timent Of the republicans of Barber
county who have read the Senator's
speech. It Is hard for the average re-
publican to get away from the theory
of high protective tariff after having
been schooled in it for thirty years. 1t
is harder for him to endorse tree trade
after having been taught these many
years to abuse the democratic party
tor advocating il. Aud this forms the
bone of contention between Burton
and his enemies IN the republican par.
ty. Burton still cliDgs to his tlme.rld
idol protection, while Long and his fol-
reciprocity, which is only stepping
stone TO free trade and which, carried
to its logical conclusion, is free trade
pure and simple. While we think
Burton is wrong so far as the principles
OF good government are concerned, yet
it must be admitted that he is at least
consistent and Long and his followers
are not. Up to this time they have all
been with Burton on this question.
| Why part company with him now?
Our judgment is that the Senator will
make them "eat straw" just as he did
in 1895 when he fought almost single
handed for the single gold standard
when Long and Albaugh and that
crowd were for the free coinage of
the American product" or course,
Burton was not right then, but he was
master and his party endorsed him. So
it will be in this instance.

the people assembled in the Opera

to rehearse all or part of his great

Thresbing is on in full blast all oyer
the county. Wheat is making all the
way from to 25 bushels per acre. In
the northern part of the county it is
much better than in the central and
southern parts where it is not near as
good as was expected. In the northern
part of the county there was more rain
in the spring than in other parts which
accounts for their heavier yield. In
most places the quality is good. There
are some places, however. where it is
poor.

A Progressive Fruit Man.

There are some excellent sug- gestions contained in the follow ing news item which We take from the Siloam Springs Repub- lican:
 Bird Webster, one of our local nurserymen, showed us recently some beautiful specimens of seeding apples that he is propa- gating for their special values. Among these were samples of Kirkpatrick's seedlings, a beau- tiful deep red apple, solid, fine in flavor and good keeper. Also one from John McNair that is especially fine along next May sometime, of fine flavor and very large in size. Another furnished by P. A. Butler that is noted for it's fine keeping qualities under any circumstances, and also it's fine flavor. Webster has about 300, ,000 growing trees of different varieties and is preparing for that many more next year. He in- tends to get out several thousand of the standard varieties of pears, and thinks this fruit one of the very best and surest money makers for this section. In his peach orchard he uses red clover and rape as winter protection from the sun and finds it very beneficial in holding the sap back in the warm spring days. In another orchard he has sown rye and san vetch, a new forage plant, as an experiment, all of which will be turned under in the spring to add fertility to the soil the coming season.
 Among other deals lately made by him is one with c. D. Gunter to put out 20 acres to Elberta peaches. He will use the ground between the trees for strawber- ries, raspberries and COW peas for three years and agrees to have a living Elberta tree as originally set out. This young orchard, when turned over to Mr. Gunter. will be worth three times the present value of the land, easily.
 We would that we had here a thousand such men as Bird Web- Ster.

rigated orchards of Colorado. Why, there were some apples there from Glenwood Springs of the Wolf River variety as bi g as small pumpkins, but that is not all, the flavor is said to be of the same pumpkin variety also. IT, rlgated fruits are the finest in the land so far as size is concern ed, but the flavor is not there and consequently that sort of fruit is not in demand where other can be found. Iowa had large ex- hibit of many varieties, but that IS all that could be said oft. The culls from our exhibit now at Whitaker s real estate office, if properly classified, would take 90 per cent of the prize money over the Iowa display.
 While in St. Louis it was also our pleasure to visit the general offices of the Frisco system and acKnOWledge special cOurteS1eS at the hands of both Mr. Hughes, the emigration agent, and Mr. Heed, the manager of the adver- Using department. Both these gentlemen were simply delighted with the showing made by our fruit at the fair, and assured us that the Frisco road will ever be ready to assist in any movement looking to the development of this section. MT. Hughes remind ed us that he was a visitor in Green Forest last winter and that he felt more than a passing inter- est in this section. He thought he might be able to induce num- Der of people from the north to visit our town during the meet ing of the state horticultural so- ciety. At his own suggestion he was given 200 copies of the fruit edition of THE TRIBUNE which he said he is sure he can use to a good advantage.
