Two weeks ago the Waubay Clip
per got out a spasm on the capital
campaign and based its efforts upon
the record of Harry Hunter, and by
its argument actually invited crit
icism of that gentleman. The
Reporter and Farmer did not intend
to take the matter up, but this last
week every other papers in this
county contained the same article,
showing conclusively that the Nit
chell campaign committee which
dictates the editorials in all Day
county papers favored this line Of
campaign. Such an article seems
more than strange to us. Harry
Hunter was a good emigrant agent
for the Milwaukee railroad. business
transacted by him was done with
strangers, it was not necessary for
the world to know his record and it
was we'll for the people, the com
pany and himself to let it sleep
quietly. We are sorry the Mitchell
supporters have seen fit to invite or
rather defy criticism ON this score
We believe that Harry would blush
very deeply if any paper in the state
would zee fit to print the unvarn-
ished truth about him. We do not
think that he would care to have us
tell all we know of his record, nor
will we do it for we are conducting
a family newspaper and there are
many stories that are just as well
kept away from the eyes and ears
of the small children. "And now
abideth faith, hope, charity, these
three; but the greatest of these is
charity" Believing implicitly in the
quotation we shall show our charity
toward Harry Hunter by passing his
record in silence.

BLACK RUST IN THE NORTH
WEST.


The extensive ravages of the black
rust in the wheat fields of the north
west has been a potent factor in the
market and has occupied a promi-
nent place in the calculations of
every wheat trader during the past
week. In this connection an inter-
view recently accorded a representa-
tive of the Commercial West by
Professor W. M. Hays, of Minnesota
experiment station is both interest
ing and pertinent.
81 was inclined to believe" said
Professor Hays, who is an authority
Of state and national reputation on
subjects of this character, that the
wheat trade was unduly excited
over the condition Of the northwest
crop so far as damage by rust was
concerned, until | learned of the
findings Of Mr.. Jones in the fields
of Minnesota and the Dakotas.
Ordinarily when there are discrep
encies between the reports concern
ing the crops and the deductions
which may be made as to conditions
in the wheat fields, from a knowl-
edge of existing weather conditions,
| am disposed to rely on the latter
evidence. Mr.. Jones, however, is a
careful and reliable observer, and
although climatic conditions are not
particularly favorable to the devel-
opment of rust in such quantities as
to prove a serious menace, theories
must always retire before demon
strated facts.
0Hcs rust makes its appearance,
it is almost impossible to combat
and it's possibilities for damage ar
almost unlimited. This is partic
ularly true, is its study can only b
undertaken by M experienced il
