Dole Still Governor.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
The positive and repeated reports from
Washington that Governor Dole's resig
nation had been demanded, and that he
was to be succeeded by Colonel Samuel
Parker, are now disposed Of by an au-
thoritative announcement from the White
House to the effect that there has been no
request for the resignation and no offer to
Parker. That certainly Is matter for con-
graduation, and even the deceit which was
practiced on the Washington correspon-
1t has provoked discussion that is bring
ing out various facts that should be placed
before the public
The Dole government. being human, Is by
no means above criticism, but 1t has been
harassed beyond all reason by vindictive
campaign, whose purpose is not to give
Hawaii better government but to crafty
personal resentments and advance the
political fortunes Of certain men. UnfOrtu-
nately, too, this campaign was given
fresh and strong impetus by the decision in
the Humphreys case. 1t was reported that
after his official vindication Humphreys
left Washington with the avowed intention
of forcing the governor out of Office, and
there can be no doubt that he and his as
sociates buckled down to their task with
renewed vigor They We're naturally elated,
while the Dole people were correspondingly
depressed, and the difficulties of the island
administration were increased.
The plotting will continue, and there will
be feeling of insecurity in administration
circles so long as Humphreys is maintained
in his present position. That he ought
never to have been appointed judge is clear
from the story of his career, even if we
leave out it's worst features. He was under
thirty when he went to the islands in 1885,
had had little experience as a lawyer and
no proper schooling for seat on the bench
Since his appointment he has been direct

The Good-Natured Man.

Here's to the man who has nothing to do,
He chatters and chuckles the busy day
through.
He bothers your work and he hinders your
nap. s.-
And If you get angry he cares not rap.
He likes to come round in casual way,
With nothing to do and with nothing to say.
He tells you the story you don't want to
hear,
He tells you the news that falls fat on your
ear
For time that is precious has ruthlessly
fed.
And the family is waiting at home to be
fed
You wish him all joy that lifetime can
view,
But you wish that he wouldn't make merry
-. with you.
And he goes on his way with look Of
regret,
When your work has been spoiled and your
plans are upset.
And because you're unmoved by his humor-
Gus prank
He says it's a pity you're such a sad crank.

THE FARMERS woRKpAY.

There is being great deal said these
days about eight hours being long
enough for any days work, and, while
the claim made may properly apply to
mining and manufacturing, the system
cannot be made success on either the
railroad or the farm. The growing sea-
son of all the cereal producing sections
of the United States is at best very
short. nature working twenty-four
hours day. and this compels more
than eight hours work in twentyfour
of any man engaged in agriculture.
The well defined hours of labor posi-
BILE in all manufacturing enterprises
are simply impossible ON the farm. for
it not infrequently happens that man
must do two days work in one or else
be simply buried up by his work. In
an ordinary way, when things are not
crowding on the farm, n days work Of
ten hours will do, but nothing less.

A NATURAL LAW.

In the study of plant and animal life
1t will be found that every species al
most without exception has some para
site which preys upon it. always with
the result that it limits the develop
ment of such species. This is in accord
with the great natural law which al
ways provides agencies to preserve the
proper balance of the species. This ex-
plains why when any one crop is grown
to the exclusion of others on a large
scale sooner or later some parasitic en-
envy is sure to develop. Thus the hop
louise riddles the hopyards, the "yel-
lows" blight the peach orchards. the
cholera cleans out the hogyards. the
rust smites the wheatfield. Nature
wants everything to have fair show,
and when any form of life becomes
monopolistic in its growth or develop
ment she makes very short work in
providing remedy. Possibly there
may be a hint here for some of our
statesmen who are today wrestling
with social. political and economic
problems.

NEW CREAMERY METHODS.

A very marked and probably per-
manent change is going on in connec-
ton with the creamery business. In a
word, it consists Of central butter
making station, usually located in some
large city. with first class railway facil-
tiles, the use of the farm separator by
the dairyman on the farm and the ship
ment of his cream by railway to the
butter making station. 1t is claimed
that Notwithstanding the freight charge
ON the cream the net profits to the dali
ryman are greater than under any sys-
tenn yet tried. The logic of success
full dairy business certainly implies the
separation Of the milk at the farm and
the use of the skimmilk in its very best
condition for the young things on the
farm, but the claim is made with some
show of reason that butter of the best
quality cannot so be manufactured. AS
might be expected. this new plan meets
with the hearty opposition of all the or
ganized local creamery companies.

LOSSES OF WET SEASONS.

We will never find fault any more
with so called dry seasons. The pas
lures may be bare and the blowing go
hard and the dust fly, the creeks dry
up, but even under these conditions
the crops fellow raises he is able to
secure and save. Here in 1902 we have
had an old fashioned wet season, scant
sunshine and warmth and surplus Of
rainfall, with the result that the losses
sustained in harvesting and gathering
the different crops have been simply
enormous. Nearly one-half of the July
cutting of the hay crop was rendered
almost worthless The crops of small
grain were injured over % per cent,
while there were thousands of acres of
corn on low land throughout the west
which could not be gathered until the
ground froze up, as team could not
haul an empty wagon across the field.
There have been two compensations,
however, for this abnormally wet year
all forest and tree life has been COM
pletely rejuvenated as well as the
meadows and pastures.

NEVER GOT ENOUGH.

We often wonder why it is that men
have not sense enough to know when
they have got enough-enough property
and money. Here are men by the hun
dred all over the country at fifty to six
ty years of age worth from SIS, 700 to
$4,000, owners of the best farms in
the world, working and shaving year in
and year out to make more money and
buy more land when the very best they
can make of the job is ten years or so
of fret and worry, then a funeral and
the prObating of will and scattering
of their hard earnings. While every
man should earnestly and industriously
try to provide for his family when he
is gone, there is little sense in carrying
the effort to the point which these men
do Nine boys out of ten will make bet
ter men and better citizens to have to
hoe their own row instead of getting
the notion that they can loaf around till
dad dies. You man and woman of six
ty, just plan your business so as to get
just as much comfort as possible out of
your money, for you "ain't got long to
stay here" and no amount of money
will buy back youth and health and
strength.

most promising varieties of winter APP
Piles for that territory. Its keeping
qualities are undisputed, we having
held these apples under ordinary cellar
conditions until May. This year In size
and perfection Of fruit they eclipse
any apples we have seen, whether
raised in Missouri, Michigan or New
York. We regard it as fully as hardy

GIN ROME, DO AS ROMANS DO.

We have not much patience with the
old farmer who, moving to town to
spend his declining years. makes spe-
cialty of growing at the taxes imposed
upon him. Municipal government is of
very necessity more costly than that
of the township. If the town schools
are better than those of the country,
they cost more money to maintain. If
the town has lighted streets and fire
protection, they cannot be had for moth
ing. In town there are two demands
upon a mans Tina and pocketbook on
public account where there Is one in
the country. So our friends from the
country who move into our towns and
cities will best enjoy life themselves
and they in the greatest degree will be
valued and appreciated by town people
If they will avoid fault finding at the
necessary money cost of the privileges
and attractions which draw them
there and instead lend a responsive
and liberal aid to all legitimate things
conducive to the best interests of the
town. If they must grumble. forty
acre tract in the country is the place on
which to do 1t.
