Roosevelt's message means. He be-
came president by accident, to be sure.
altho 1t was no accident that he should
have been standing In the line of sue

q long career OF public duties most
faithfully performed. lie then forced
his own nomination against the wish
es and over the protests of the poll
ticlans for the reason that he had the
people back of him. Telegraph wires
had hardly clicked off the intelligence
of his nomination until the nation
saw this remarkable man telling the
politicians and the special interests
that Cortelyou was his man for nat
ional chairman. They made wry faces
and started to object, but the presi-
dents positive index finger was planted
firmly on the desk before him with the
remark, This is my man. Will you
accept him?' And they did.
TO his friends the president eS-
planned THAT he purposed to have n
chairman who would conduct u clean
campaign, and one free absolutely
from any mortgages or prior Hens up
on the next administration. The Wis
dom of his choice became apparent
when the slanderous charges of black
mail were preferred by the democratic
opposition The president could then
stand up clean handed and tell his

THE REPUBLICAN, LANDSLIDE.

To call yesterdays expression of
popular wisdom landslide is no error
in nomenclature and yet there was lit
tie Of. the volcanic about 1t. No wild
excitement preceded 1t. There were
none Of the signs Of an upheaval.
Quietly and with dignity, the people
awaited their day and when 1t came
they arose in majestic unanimity and
spoke with finality. 1t was not SO much
Q landslide or tidal wave. as the in
herent honesty and wisdom Of the
American voters. speaking thru the
ballot box. They had weighed and de-
cided and were waiting. No election
was ever more devoid Of noise, and
excitement. None was ever more
crushingly decisive. From Maine to
California the people were of one
mind. Doubtful states gave republi-
can majorities that blasted the repu-
tations of expert prognosticators for
accuracy. The apathetic farmers OF
the middle west awoke on election day
and f1anked by the manufacturers and
working men Of the Atlantic and the
fruit growers and miners Of the far
west, they formed an array that swept
over the camps Of democracy as al,
army over an anthill.
It was the repulse OF an attack
against prosperity, and victory for
men who stand for principle above
party success Aside from such issues
as were raised in the campaign,
Roosevelt's personality as an incorrup-
tible and fearless man would have
brought him the votes he needed. La
Follette's victory in Wisconsin speaks
public approval of his stand against
special interests in defense of popu-
lar rights. 1t is rebuke to graft as
Roosevelts mighty vote Is a rebuke
to the timeservers in and outside his
own party, who would have sup
pressed him first and failing that have
campaigns owned and managed by
the people themselves. They nominat-
ed Roosevelt in the face Of bossism.
They elected him triumphantly and will
expect him to pay the debt he owes
them by continuation Of his policy
Of enforcing laws and scourging
scoundrels away from the public serv-
ice, an obligation that the peoples
president is not likely to deny or evade.
II the landslide means anything it
means public approval Of honest fear
lessness in office.

FOUR CHAMPIONS WIN.

Roosevelt, La Toilette, Deneen and,
Folk are elected. Don't tell us that th0
cause Of good government is wanings
1t was a day of the people. The poli1
ticians the special interests, the brib-i
ers and the corruptionists were de-s
feated. 1t is true that one of the nobl4
four was a democrat but he lives in
a southern state which partially ex-
cuses him. The other three were re-
publicans. But democrat or repub-
lican, each of the four were fighting
the battle of the people against the
special interests. Public interest in
the success of La Toilette thruout the
country was scarcely less than in that
of Roosevelt himself. An honest, fear
less and able man he was most bit
terly assailed by a corrupt political
system. The railroads that sought to
evade taxation and the millionaires
who bought seats In the United States
senate for men who should protect
them and serve them in their steals,
fought La Toilette. But he won and it
took both democratic and republican
votes to do 1t.
For weeks did Deneen, a young re-
hold. the System and the corruption
lists at bay in an Illinois nominating
convention But he was nominated and
his plurality goes far beyond 100000
when the greatest republican plurality
ever known in that state was about
half Of 100000. 1t took both democrat
ic and republican votes to show such
figures.
Boodlers sent to the penitentiary and
scattered to the four winds to hide in
foreign lands first attracted public at
tention to Folk, city attorney Of St.
Louis. The demand for him as cam
didate for governor was irresistible. A
corrupt democratic party in Missouri
was forced to put up q clean candidate
as Tammany Hall had been forced to
give clean government to New York
City. Folk carried Missouri by $4,000,
q. plurality larger than any governor
ever received in that state and yet
the republicans are still claiming the
state for Roosevelt. In Missouri as
elsewhere people were voting for the
men who stood for clean government
one on one ticket and one on another.
In such returns the election of
Roosevelt, La Toilette, Deneen and
Folk should carry great volumes of in
spiration for public officials every
where.

Scales on thu Farm

"Too few farms have scales large
enough to weigh a wagon load OF hay
or horse. Thousands of farmers send
chopped feed without knowing how
much they are sending or how much
they receive back. The miller may be
honest enough and in great many
instances may return the proper
equivalent in ground feed. but the old
story about the miller and his man
each taking toll to make sure, still
holds good. There are absent-minded
miuers, but they are good deal more
likely to forget on the favorable side
Of their own account" remarks an ex
change.
"a pair of scales is worth a great
deal, Just to weigh animals to know
how much they gain from month to
month. Farm horses should be weigh
ed once a month, to know il they are

ue of this staple product. 1t Is only by

merely a trained puppet, ana a stalk
Ing horse for sordid interests. His ev-
cry public utterance accentuated his
mediocrity and testified to his insin-
certify. The west repudiated while the

In his preconvention silence shone with
the irridescence of a soap bubble.
When he spoke he exploded. He will
be remembered as minor man who
aspired to great Office. He was SIM

He lacked presidential caliber and as
evidenced by his personal attack upon
his opponent in the closing hours Of the
campaign, lacked presidential honesty
and sincerity. The campaign cost him
his reputation for high mindedness
and ability.
1t Is pity that Mr.. Parker might not
have kept the silence Of his early can
didaoy. He has been his own icono-
clast and the blows Of his hammer
have only broken thru the veneer that
covered the very common clay Of which
he Is composed, to his own cheapening
and exposure. It is impossible to find
anything regrettable about his defeat
or any hook to hang personal SYM
pathy upon. Parker Is little man

kcepinu Corn,


A northern Iowa farmer gives his
own system of cribbing new corn
which would seem to be a good plan to
prevent corn from spelling in the crib
and a good one to utilize this fall In
cribbing corn All that is needed, he
says, Is 81 supply OF ordinary drain
tile. A layer of corn is placed on the
floor of the crib, then place the tile
end to end crosswise of the crib and
the rows as close together as seems
necessary to give the corn plenty OF
air. Then another course of tile and
so on as high up In the crib as Is nee
essary to prevent the corn from be
coming heated. IL this plan Is follow
ed there will be less spoiled corn this
season. The tile can be taken out and
used for drainage purposes next spring
if needed.
