The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1902-08-08

Minneapolis Tribune: The
demand for harvest laborers in the
northwest grows apace, with the
rapid npening of the crops. The
demand for laborers in the cities
and in all industries is such that it
is to be feared that the farmers are
going to have hard time in secur-
ing enough help. It would be a pity
to see any Of the bumper crop lost
through lack Of harvesters. The
railr Dads are doing all in their
power. Perhaps the robust farmers
girls will have to turn in and lend
a helping hand. Many of them can
drive reaper or harvester as we'll
as the boys, and some could even
do a good job in pitching and stack
ing. The idea of women working
in the harvest field is not popular
in this country, but American
women can rise to this emergency,
or almost any other, if the occasion
demands it.

Salt Lake Tribune: 1t is evident
that the anti-imperialists have lost
none of their extravaganza and
venom. The charges they made
against the conduct Of the war in
the Philippines are more scandalous
than any scandals that have been
proved. The gentry didn't want
any war at all in the Philippines,
but if there must be war, our troops
were to count it in a Pickwickcian
sense, and let the real war be made
by the natives. The outbreak of
anti-imperialist rabies is little pre-
mature; the dog days haven't come
vet, and there is nothing in the
fulminations that the president
viii have any difficulty in making
anwser to, provided he takes notice
Of it at all.

But who cane Is it because the
peanut is such a common nut, if it
be nut at all, and not some sort of
a cross between a pea and a potato ?
The peanut is easy-too easy-to
eat; it is sold from pushcarts and
consumed in public places. 1t is
associated with country fairs,
circuses and pink lemonade; it's
odor is suggestive of the top gallery
and melodrama; it's shells lie sadly
in the sand, with other thi ngs, in
the wake of a Devery picnic. If
one could find just those people
who laugh at the peanut, perhaps
he would have proof positive for
the argu ment that humor comes
from a sense of superiority. And
vet-well, who hasn't eaten peanuts,
let him throw the first stone.
But the price of "beef an has
risen to Is cents. Who can say we
will not have to shell out for oul
peanuts soon, in very fact7 Every
thing is possible in these days Of
trusts.

Washington Post, Ind:

Washington Post, Ind: The
democratic party seems determined
to repeat the mistake of attacking
the doctrine of protection instead
of combining its assaults to the abuses
of protection. The party has no
chance of regaining control Of the
government on the former plan of
campaign. while it would have a
reasonable prospect Of victory on
the latter. This nation is not ready
to usher in free trade, although we
have no doubt that majority Of
the people would gladly welcome a
revision of the tariff on protective
lines. That would make large
additions to the free list. Free
trade as universal principle is now
conceded by many of the best
English authorities to be an
economic heresy. Golden and his
disciples believed it to be a prln-
ciple Tor universal APPLICATION. Their
descendants admit that ''circum-
stances alter cases. and that the
question whether nation should
have free trade or protection, de-
ponds on many and various con-
,ditions. The old time free trade
theory is as dead as Mr.. Bryan's free
coinage hobby. On the other hand
the old time protection doctrine,
after the most complete vindication,
is now outrageously abused to serve
a purpose that was never dreamed
of by it's consistent advocates and
which is now denounced by it's
best friends.

Chicago Evening Post: A re-
publican politician goes out of his
way to sympathize with our glorious
democratic party, advising us. to
drop Bryan as the milestone about
our necks, and asserting that he
can gain nothing by calamity
howl in these days of unexampled
prosperity. To an extent there is
truth in what he says, for the re-
publican party cannot be beaten in
prosperous times. All the most
brilliant dem oc ratio successes have
been achieved just before a panic.
The republicans keep firm grasp on
the reins until the country is totter-
ing on the brink of the demnittion
bow vows, and then the turn in
and help the democrts sweep the
country, exclaiming in the midst Of
the commercial cyclone: There |!
Just as we told you" We grand
old democrats never see through
his little game, for we are too,
honest too unsuspecting and too
busy telling what Jefferson would
have said and done. Keep your eye
on the financial situation, and when
YOU see a crash imminent and hard
times unavoidable look out for a
democratic victory and all the odium
and execration that come with this
"political landslide. "

New York Tribune: The annual
announcement of the formation OF
a peanut trust came along yesterday
this time from Virginia, where it
was said New York capitalists were
trying to buy and combine all the
peanut plants in that state. In
uuiry yesterday among the peanut
magnates of this city failed to dis
cover who the capitalists were.
Most dealers said that if anyone in
New York was behind the deal it
was probably Henry NJ. Day, but
at Mr.. Days Office nothing what
ever was known about the report.
Most of the wholesale peanut dealers
too, were a lite vexed over the
iocular inquiries that were made OF
them.
'sWhy is it," said one, "that
peanuts are regarded as a huge
joke?' If trust were being formed
in oranges or walnuts or almonds,
or any of the other produce we
carry, the tone of the questioners
would mt be facetious. But a peanut
trust seems a signal for giggles. A
man dropped in this morning and
said: i see a peanut trust is being
formed; shell Qut!'' Then he went
off with a tittel at his joke. I'D
like to have somebody explain it to
me.''

Review of Reviews: Congress, in
the opinion of the best intelligence
and judgement of the country, was
guilty of one great sin of omission
in failing to live up to the moral
obligation Of the United States to do
something for the economic relief
of Cuba. 1t would have been moth
ing more than decent to have ad-
mitted all Cuban crops of the
present year to the parts of the
United States duty free. We had
taken control, and had spent Cuba g
revenues freely in construct ing
matters according to our own ideas.
It was due to our self respect to
give the new Cuban government a
handsome send off. Economic
prosperity, as everyone knew, was
essential both to the success Of
Cuba's experiment in home rule
and to the establishment Of per-
manently satisfactory relations
between Cuba and the United States.
Certain western agricultural in
teress, creditably eager to promote
the development of the American
beet sugar industry, were used as
a cats paw by the designing conbin-
alton which, in turn, had power
enough at Washington to prevent
any action whatsoever. The
situation became very complicated
and involved one; but it's outlines
will be clear in due time. Then it
will be plain enough to those agri-
cultural interests which fought
against the decent treatment OF Cuba
on the plea that they were defend
ing American producers, that they
we're playing all the time into the
hands of those against whom they
were in supposed antagonism.
President Roosevelt and the admin
istration had mapped out policy
that was honorable, patriotic and
best for all true American interests.
The safe and right attitude on this
Cuban question, which in it's main
features is in no sense a party mat
ter, was to follow the lead of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. 1t is subject that
cannot be dismissed or forgotten. It
will have to be talked about through
the pending. congressional cam
paigns, and it will have to be
brouhgt up when congress meets
again.

Kansas City Star: The country
fair used to rank pretty we'll up
with the circus in the estimation OF
small boys-possibly it does today
with those lucky enough to live
within visiting distance. Of course
it hasn't the elephants and the
giraffes and the clowns. But the
pink lemonade is there and possibly
a side show and a balloon ascension.
Somehow, the agriculture
products themselves always seem
ed to belong to the grown ups,
rather than to the children. Some
times the boy who had raised the
mammoth pumpkin" on his own
pumpkin patch was at the fair, and,
of course, he showed off his pro perty
with vast pride. Occasionally, too,
some enthusiastic young chicken
raiser would be interested in the
Plymouth Rock or Leghorns on
exhib;tio But to the average
country youngster the display of
farm produce and garden truck was
too suggestive Of hard work to be
pleasant. He could get enthusiastic

middle is the severest trial that
that city has been called upon to
pass through.
1t was not unlimited. For years
that city has fostered vice. When
crooks and confidence men, "big
mitts' and burglars could not be
tolerated longer in the other
countries of population they flock
ed to Minneapolis where for a con-
sideration they ''stood i'm with
them Mayor and Chief of Police and
uninterruptef1ly piled their work.
Mayor Ame's record from the be-
ginning of his political career has
been one of deliberate shamelessness.
Two years ago he left the demo-
cratic party, the party that bore
and nursed him, and announced
that he was no longer a member of
that party and flung himself before
the people as the ''dinner pail" can
didate of the city. Taking advantage
of the new primary law, he secured
his nomination on the republican
ticket. A big pill that the party
was forced to swallow. AS soon as
he assumed the Office of mayor of
that city for the third time in his
history, he placed his brother Col.
Fred Ames in the position of Chief
of Police. He was the week kneed
Col. whose timidity refused to
allow him to go the fining line in
the Philippines, but gave him the
job of POLICING the city of
Manila, position that after
wards proved more trying expert
ence than at the front, but the
bravery and courage of the boys
and tho regiment it's halo of glory
that shall ever praise the glamor
of it's history. It was this excuse
that the mayor placed at the head
of the police administration in
Minneapolis and who filled the
corporate limits of the place with
the loathsome life that has disgraced
it for a quarter of a, century to
come. These two brothers furnish
Minnesota municipal history with
a record of indecencey heretofore
unequalled in the history OF
American city government. Mimi
eapolis is young, and strong and
will outline it's disgrace. She has
been taught dear lesson but the
cure will be commensurate to the
punishement, and like the patient
recovering from fever will grow
stouter than ever.

Last year prices of milk, butter and
other farm products were high be-
cause OF drouth; this year farm
products are high despite the rank
pasturage, and plague of mos
quitoes is cited as the cause. Last
years vegetables were dried by a
burning sun; this year it is said
that the excessive moisture is
driving vegetables to leaf and
stock. Potatoes which were last
year too dry are this year too wet !;
and tomatoes ale lea fing under
hydraulic pressure and emitting
fruitage.
But these are probably only sur
face cauess in most instances. The
reason for the continued high prices
of everything that figures in the
daily purchases of housokeepers is
the modern Organization of trade,
and the shifting of demand incident
to high prices of meats.
Wholesalers purchase large guam
titles of butter in the summer to put
in coldstorage for fall and winter
season. Egg dealers do likewise.
In consequence there is a demand
for these products at a time when
plenty has heretofore put prices
down. Eggs and butter are now
above twenty cents, when Judging
from past experiences they ought
to be somewhere below that level.
Vegetables are purchased more
literally by the Gamers during sea-
sons of plenty, and this demand
keeps the markets for fresh vegeta-
bles from going to pieces. There
is no longer a summer period of low
prices for products which formerly
had to be sold or permitted to go to
waste, because trade is now so
closely organized that the overplus
is snapped up for future con-
sumption either by packers and
Gamer or by cold storage merchants.
There is an offset to this, in the
winter, but not always an appreci-
able one,due to the presence in the
markets of products with formerly
were Tout of season" and therefore
higher in price. But it is probably
true that prices Of products which
have come within the scope of
canning and old storage operations
are higher on the average than they
were before such enterprises came
into Observation-Disclosures Evening
Wisconsin.
