The "whiskey ring" the "star
route" scandles and the postOffice
rascality uncovered all occurred un.
der republican administrations. The
first two were not exposed and the
perpetrators punished until q demo-
cratic congress took hold. There is
a lesson in this for those who would
have the present postoffice scandal
probed to the bottom and all the
guilty participants punished.-Com-

The report comes from Washing
ton that the pay Of Minnie V. Cox, as
postmistress at Indianola, Miss, is
to be Observation-Disclosures next April.
Minnie Cox, who is a negress, became
alarmed over petition from the
patrons OF the Indianola postoffice
asking for her resignation. She closed
the office snd sent her resignation to
Warrington. President Roosevelt and
Postmaster-General Payne refused TO
receive the resignation, believing
from the reports that were printed in
newspapers of the country and in
formation received from o t h r
sources, that it had been written un-
der stress of threats OF violence. I'll e
woman left Indianola and refused to
return to the town and open the Of
ii ,e. The President, however, order
ed that her salary be continued, the
result being that for many months
she has drawn pay from the govern
ment-a part OF the time at the rate
OF 3 200 and later at the rate OF
81 100 year for rendering no ser
vice whatever. The case has been
considered by the department OF JUS
tice, and the President himself is un-
derstood to have given it more than
ordinary attention.

charge was severe arrangement OF

irrigated lands how to use his water
to the best advantage; it discovers
plants that will grow in the arid re-
giOnS; it stamps out the foot ana
mouth disease in New England: fights
the Texas fever in cattle in the south
west: introduces improved varieties
of wheat for the north, of cotton for
the south; breaches forestry and
shows the farmer how to administer
his woodlot and the millionaire corpo-
ration how to manage its forests. The
departments large corps of trained
SPECIALISTS is forever at work protect
ing and advancing agriculture. There
is scarcely a problem that comes be-
fore the ordinary farmer that has not
been solved for him by the department
and the method of solution preserved
where he can readily refer to it. All
the farmer in trouble has to do is to
appeal to Uncle Sam and help will be
forthcoming.
There is nothing in the manufacture
ing field corresponding to the aid the
department of agriculture gives to the
farmer. There is no such systematic
and persevering experimentation and
orderly study of problems. Every pro-
position that is put up to the farmer
is scientifically and diligently attack
ed by the department. 1t is always
looking for something new, something
better, and it is always ready to dis
card rejected theory or a discredit-
ed method.
With such an industrious and intel
ligent head the farming industry ought
TO be advancing in the United States
very rapidly. And it is. The Ameri-
can farmer is already the best all
around farmer in the world, and he is
developing specialists who can't be sur
passed anywhere. Farming in the
United States is fast becoming a pur-
suit that calls for as much brains as
any manufacturing industry The
parts of the country that have long
been backward agriculturally are COM
ing to the front. Farming has taken
new life in the south and the rural
east is rehabilitating itself; the Rocky
mountains and the Pacific coast states
are advancing with bounds, and the
north central states, long the strong
hold of agriculture in the United
States, are more than holding their
own.

AN INENPLICABLE FEATURE.

The strangest thing in connection
with Mr.. Chamberlain's endeavor to
fasten system of tariff taxation on
the British public is the unconcealed
satisfaction it affords the protection
ist organs in this country. Heretofore
they have defended that form Of lega-
lied robbery as practiced in this
country on the ground that while it
kept out competition with our man.
ufacturing establishments it left the
foreign markets wide open for the
products of our vast agricultural in
dustries. There was some reason in
that while Great Britain continued the
economic policy which has prevailed
there for sixty years. There was al
ways danger of reprisals, of course,
for sometimes even wise men lose
their heads. But until now the danger
has never materialized.
The purpose OF Chamberlain move
ment is obviously to build up the Brit
ish colonies at the expense of the
mother country, as England is proper
/
lent inclination toward the colonies
either, but a purpose to strengthen the
bonds of friendship between the people
of the colonies and those of the mother
country by creating a selfish relation
ship between them. In other words,
Chamberlain, who understands that
England must buy breastuffs from
abroad, proposes to make it an object
for her to buy from her own colonies
rather than from the United States,
| thus stimulating by artificial means
| the agricultural interests of the col
onies. But why American protection
| lists should rejoice over such a pros
pect is not easy to discern.
| Hitherto Great Britain has been
! taking all the surplus agricultural pro-
| ducts of the United States and the
vast crops of recent years have made
that market a source of immense
profit and prosperity. But suppose
the purchasing agents of the British
empire turn their attention to the cul-
| tivation of wheat and corn in Canada
| will it be before our surplus agricul-
| tural products become a drug in the
| market and the agricultural industry
! of the country becomes medium O.
| bankruptcy rather than a source o.
| wealth. That is what Chamberlain!
policy aims to effect and what it is
certain to achieve if it, is successful
and we can't see why the republican
press and statesmen are so anxious t
see it succeed.

THE FARMERS ADVANTAGE.

The farmer has one great advantage
over the manufacturer. The latter
must, either by himself. or in asso-
citation with his fellows. master all his
own problems and overcome all his
own obstacles. But allied with the
farmer is the federal government.
Uncle Sam spends millions of dollars
every year to help the farmer meet
the difficulties of his occupation.

If this state had a railway commits
sion the business men could appeal
to it for better freight rates and bet
ter train service. The commission
would have the authority to regulate
such matters within the state. But
part of the price paid for the
honor of having United States
senator was the sacrifice OF
the commission bill and of all
bills proposing lower freight rates.
That sacrifice cost the business men
and farmers of Walla Walla county
many thousands of dollars and it is

are getting their moneys worth in
