A COMMUNICATION.
The Democratic Party Needed Badly, Thinks
Mcbride Should Succeed Himself.

The country needs the democratic
party and needs all of it. and all OF the
patriotic and conservative forces that
have co-operated with it during all
campaions since and including that of
1899 Never. perhaps, Ina, there been
a time when united action WAS more
necessary than now. Democrats do
not disagree as to essentials. They do
not disagree as to the broad principles
for which the party has stood for more
than century. They do not disagree
as to any of things that are now impor-
tant. Matters that may be d"norni-
mated as personal must, in the interest
of party success. be di>rngarded. The
democratic party is just the demo-
cratic party. 1t Is not composed OF
one man. or two men or three men,
however conspicuous or prominent or
useful they may have been or are now
We do not feel that the little disagree
ments between men who have been
leaders of the party forces should be
considered seriously by the voters or
delegates who shall take part in the
primaries or conventions this year.
There is rot one of these men who
does not want to see his party success
fui. This is the year l9O4-the year
in which o forget and forgive. lie
us have peace-honorab peace, bene-
fclal peace. There should be patti
ence, forbearance and compromising
disposition. The rank and file have a
right to demand this, and they do de-
mand it. BY the use of the words COM
promising dispositions, we do not mea
the abandonment OF any party princi-
ple but there is difference between a
principle and declaration. All part
les have declared thus and 80 upon
matters OF passing importance and
will continue TO do so, hut that fact
creates no obligation absolutely bind
ing upon subsequent convention, un-
less the subject declared upon is still
vital. And the question rs TO what is
vital must be left to the democratic
voters throughout the country.
The porty must abide by their action.
That it will be wise and conservative
and consistent with democratic princi-
pies there can be no doubt.
The present status OF polite al af-
fairs in Washington seem to indicate
that II the right kind of men are nomi-
mated on the legislative ticket by the
democrats, that party can sweep the
state. Both two and four years ago
the republican party OF the state went
before the people promising the peo-
pie equity and justice on the question
OF railroads.
In both campaigns the party was
successful, but the solemn pledges and
platform declarations of the republic
can party were thrown to the dogs the

toiy puslS, UctWccH INC pieSSut unCiS

These are things that we are all
most vitality interested in True. this

questions, what our desires are.

ed with the only too evident fact that
cattle are not really marketable at
any price, ! believe that the stand
taken by the board Is that this state
ment Of conditions is correct but that
present conditions will not warrant
lowering the valuation.
IF for no other reason than be-
cause cattlemen have lost such a
large percentage of their herds this
year by drouth. | believe the board
should lower the valuation. OF course
in some instances seller receives
more than $ll o head. but this is only
when he is selling choice herd.
II understand that the sheepmen
always claimed that they composed
the real industry of the territory. A
glance at the auditors books reveals
the fact that the pay only a trifle
over $4,000 600, while cattlemen pay
something over $G,0O0,000
"Cattlemen in January were talk.
ing ABOUT high prices in order to keep
the price up as high as possible but
all know that low prices could be
averted for only short time. The
board made its assessments on this
standard, and when March arrived,
cattle had dropped out Of sight The
average valuation placed by the board
is 60 per cent of the real valuation.
This, | think, should be the same case
with cattlemen. The board did not
mean any injustice but was simply
misinformed This condition should
be remedied as soon as the board
finds it possible"

Utility vs.. Appearance.

The young breeder should not fall
into the error of choosing the show ring
model for his ideal brood SOW. Select
for breeder rather than the fair ring.
1t is Il we'll known fact that some OF
the best known brood Sows. noted as
producing the highest priced show ami
mails. do not have the form themselves
to fill the scale of points required of a
prize ring animal. They have light
ness in the neck and shoulders. extra
roomineSs in the abdomen and Il little
TOO much length of leg and activity TO
make up into square built show ami
mails. 1t is the strong. active SOW full
of vigor that is likely to do the best
service in the breeding pen. and not
the Ovcrfed lubbeT.
When once we find promising
breeder. we have better property than
the average claim in Il gold mine. and
it will pay to see that she has proper
attention at all times.
