PEACE NOT WAR


Those who see In President Roose-
velt "war lord" spelling for fight
should read what that eminent French
statesman, Baron d Estoutnelles de
Constant says of the occupant Of the
white house. The baron is a lover of
peace himself, and was prominent
figure In bringing about the treaty
which unites France aud England In
peace. He speaks feelingly of "the
grand and decisive services rendered
to the cause OF international arbitra-
tion by the United States, and
particularly by President Roosevelt. -
'"The court at the Hague" he says,
stood deserted, abandoned and
ridiculed until the day when he
president Roosevelt) had the courage,
generosity and foresight to save it:
That act alone has entitled him to
the thanks of all Europe for his
pacific and liberal spirit" Is this a
compliment to a war lord?

A GREAT PARTNERSHIP.

Local causes, notably the COM
petition between new farm lands
and old farm lands, tend here and
there to obscure what is happening,
of any economic law that in the
country as a whole farm values will
continue to incI ease as the partner
ship between manufacturer and
farmer grows more intimate through
further advance Of industrial science.
The American manufacturer never
could have placed this nation at the
head of the manufacturing nations of
the world if he had not behind him,
securing him every variety of raw
material, the exhauStlesS resources Of
the American farm, developed by the
skill and the enterprise of intelligent
and educated American farmers. On
the other hand, the debt OF the
farmers to the manufacturers is
equally heavy and the future Of
American agriculture is bound up in
the future of American manufactures.
The two industries have become,
under the economic policy Of our
governmert, SO closely interviewer.
so mutually interdependent, that
neither can hope to maintain itself
at the high water mark OF PROCESS
without the other.

TAKE NOTHING
FOR GRANTED

Republicans would do we'll to study
the tactics Of the Democrats closely.
1t won't do to take everything for
granted that one hears about trouble
in the Democratic camp. Some
Democrats who are going around de-
precating unhappy conditions in their
party are doing it for a purpose, the
object being to throw Republicans of
their guard by making them believe
that the Democratic organization is
weak and without hope of success. 1t
should be the duty Of every Republi-
can to act as if the opposition were
harmoniously united and confident of
victory. The still hunt has won all
the victories that Democracy has ever
achieved. An open fight in an open
field has always been disastrous to
that party. and the Republicans who
thinks there is nothing doing on the
other side, because he sees nothing.
has another think coming.

FARMERS PROSPEROUS

Somebody remarked the other day
that it was no wonder the Kansas
farmers turned out to welcome
Senator Fairbanks on his recent tour
through that state. The Kansas
farmers have 81, ,O00, 900 in the banks,
have splendid crops and they are get
ting prices for the products OF their
farms that enable them to 60 ia
drcves to the Worlds fair and lay up
for a rainy day. What is true of the
Kansan is equally true of the Wiscon
sin farmer. There is no place for the
pessimist anywhere in the state. The
reports from the threshing machines
continue to be encouraging and prices
remain high and firm for all the
products of the farm. The merchants
are also happy because they are looking
forward to good season of trade.

A SAD ACCIDENT

The little daughter, four years old
of Mr.. and Mrs. Amos Cummings
living close to the Congregational
church on the west side was shot last
Friday forenoon by her little brother,
age six. Just how the accident hap
pened will probably never be known.
The children were playing with a
long barreled pistol out in the yard
unbeknOwn to their parents. Just
how and where they got the pistol is
not definately known. A lady stop
ping at the Cummings home some
time ago owned the weapon but
it was not known by the parents
until after the accident that it was
still at their home. The little boy
claims that it required both Of them
with stick to cock the pistol, but
that his little sister shot herself
This would be impossible as the
barrel was too long to allow the
child to reach above her head far
enough to fire the pistol. The wound
seemed to be at the top Of her head
and was considered at the time fatal.
The child is reported still living.
The family recently came from
Babcock and are comparatively
strangers in the city. It is truly sad
accident and the bereaved family
have the sympathy of the neighbors
and friends.

SHALL WE ACCEPT

The farmers, it has been truthfully
said, have been the soldiers of civiliza-
tion. They reduced our frontier
wildernesses to subsection and trans
formed them into fruitful gardens.
They have toiled and economical,
endured loneliness and prlvation that
others might not 60 hungry. No
fair man begrudges them their full
share Of the reward. The prosperity
of the farmer has come largely from
increased facilities such as free rural
delivery, the telephone and the
Farmers Institutes in a letter just
received from Geo. n. McCarrom,
Of the Farmers In
stitute. We are asked to send in an
for two days Institute
il the people here are interested in
the same. Shall we accept?

TRUSTS AND TARIFF

Undoubtedly it would be possible at
the present time to prevent any of the
trusts from remaining prosperous by
the simple expedient of making such
sweeping change in the tariff as to
paralyze the industries of the county.
The trusts would cease to prosper;
but their smaller competitors would
be ruined, the wage-workers would
starve, while it would not pay the
farmer to Ehaul his produce to the
market. The evils connected with
trusts can be reached only by rational
efforts, step by step, along the lines
taken by congress and the executive
during the past three yea.rs.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt'S letter.

We have heard it rumored that no
Stalwart need apply of the Republican
county convention for county Office.
As member of the Halfbreed forces
we desire to say that this rumOr has
no foundation. The question whether
man is a Stalwart or Halfbreed
should not enter into county politics
only so far as it pertains to the
legislature: The only question to
solve is whether the candidates for
county Office are good men and well
qualified for the positions they seek.
County officers will have no part
in solving state issues. These belong
to the legislative part of our govern
ment. We shall be glad to do our
part for any county officer whether
he is Stalwart or Halfbreed.

Some Of the pledges OF the republican
party for the past four years have
failed Of being carried out because of
that element in the party which
stands for-well for anything except a
government OF the people by the
people. In the coming election,
despite the fact that the voters of
this state have already expressed
themselves largely in favor of a
primary election law, this same
element will try by all things powerful
to defeat it. The mere fact that the
stalwarts are arrayed against the issue
is the best evidence that should
become a law. Exchange.

THE PRIMARY
REFORM MOVEMENT

it would probably surprise many
readers to know how extensive has
been the agitation for primary reform,
and how generally the states have
already adopted laws to modify the
systems along that line. And it
might be no less surprising to know
how entirely out Of agreement with
each other those states have been In
the method and degree Of their ap-
plication OF the principle. Or all the
states in this union, there are but ten
that have not some primary election
system. On the other hand, there
are but three that have adopted
general mandatory primary law for
the nomination of all state and local
officers and abolishing conventions,
and these three are Florida, Missis-
sippi and Texas. Florida also
including U. S. Senators. All of the
other states retain conventions for
the nomination Of at least a portion
OF their officers, either optionally or
compulsory. Minnesota has man.
datOry law for all except, state officers.
New Hampshire has mandatory law
or representatives and municipal
officers. Nevada has a mandatory
law for primary election of delegates
to the nominating state conventions;
while Arkansas reverses that and
choose delegates Ia county conventions
who nominate state ticket under
direction of county primaries, and
this is optional with the party COM
mittee.
One skillful in Formulation might
calculate how many varieties Of
primary reform are here made posi- BILE;
but it may be noticed that only in
three gulf states by law, and in one
other southern state by voluntary
party action, has the full extent Of
primary reform demanded in Michigan
been endorsed; and only in one
northern state, Minnesota has so
much been granted as was granted by
the senate bill passed in the last
Michigan legislature and rejected by
the radical primary reformers in the
house. Wisconsin will vote 10
November upon a proposition for
entire state direct nominations, and
Oregon did so vote aff1rmatively In
June, and will legislate under it but
none Of the great republican states Of
Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa
and Kansas, all of which have primary
election laws, has gone nearly so far
in that reform as the Michigan
senate bill that would now have been
a law il the supposed friends of
primary reform some of whom are now
condemning the republican party for
failure to pass primary reform bill,
had not defeated it. The republican
party of Wisconsin is now pledged in
it's platform to pass primary reform
law that shall secure the right to
every county desiring it, and will
assuredly fulfill that pledge IL invested
with the power to do so.

Indigestion Causes
Catarrh Of the
Stomach.

For many years It has been supposed that
Catarrh Of the Stomach caused indigestion
and dyspepsia. but the truth Is exactly the
opposite. Indigestion causes cataYrh. Re-
peated attacks Of indigestion inflames the
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
exposes the nerves Of the stomach, thus caus-
Ing the glands to secrete mucin instead Of
the Juices Of natural digestion. This r
called CatarYh of the Stomach.
