Bar the Hot Winds.

Another fine shower fell Friday
night. The farmers all wear
water melon smiles and who can
blame them? The Minot eleva-
tors will E e crowded to their ut
most capacity this fall if the
weather man does not order hot
winds. We have moisture en-
ough right now in the ground to
make the grain, SO say the old
timers. A farmer who dug down
the other day states that the dirt
is moist for three feet down.

STORY OF A SUCCESSFUL
WARD COUNTY FARMER.
Jshn Desert, Of Lone Tree, Tells What he Is
Doing on His Big Farm-has Regular
Expefimeut Station.

No man is better situated in
this state to enjoy life than John
Dostert the Lone Tree farmer,
gardener and stock raiser, and
he and his happyfamily certainly
see all that there is on the sunny
side of life. John recently visited
Minot and related the story OF
his success to an Independent
representative: "You see," he
said, 81 came there Is years ago
and located on the broad prairies
with not a tree near us or a bit
of ground broken. Now | have
just thousands Of trees, some
thirty feet high and some thirty
five inches around the base. Why
you ought to come out and see
my crops. | have a regular Agri-
cultural Experiment Station
there. | have bronze grass, all
kinds OF wheat including macar-
oni wheat, Silver Mine, White
Russian and Great Northern
oats, and even peanuts up four
inches. have a thousand head
OF cabbage in my garden. | used
to raise a great many cattle but
sold off the biggest number. |
milk ten COWS and will send the
cream to the Minot creamery as
soon as it starts. | have a cream
separator. l have a big nine
room house finished to the last
nail. 1t is 36x44 feet with a big
stone basement. | have an ice
house filled with nice ice. | am
afraid to tell just how much crop
l have in. You newspaper men
will put it in the paper and the
elevator men will figure out how
many bushels OF grain there will
be in the country and will pay
prices accordingly. think it is
a great mistake for the farmers
to tell how much grain they have
in. | have my four horse team
breaking every day and control
six quarters Of land, having
rented the school section for five
years.
Mr.. Dostert has good old Ger
man blood flowing thru his veins
and is proud Of thefact. To CON-
plete his happiness he receives the
Independent regularly every week
and says that OF all his papers,
this is the one he seeks out first.
May he live long to enjoy the op-
portunities offered by the best
state in the Union.

THE DIGNITY OF .RxDEEmERs.

III ever any state was cursed with
q. worse band of hypocrits in high
places than is the state OF Nebraska,
that fact has not reached the atten-
ton of The Independent. That the
people of his state could have been
so misled by the pleas of this gang OF
jolitical roustabouts as to entrust them
with power is great pity. Should
they repeat the job by retaining them
in Office after this election, they will
deserve the consequence.
Think of the governor of this state,
in company with other officials, show
ing such a lack of dignity, as they
are now exhibiting on the coast at
Seattle. attendant upon the launching
of the battleship Nebraska. The lack
of modesty on the part of the governor
was first exhibited in this instance by
his appointment of his own daughter
to do the christening. Now comes a
telegram from Col l.. w. Garoutte, OF
Lincoln, one of the party and mem

A sLEDGE-HAMMER BLOW

1t would be difficult to better con-
dense in a single paragraph the hy-
pocrisy of the campaign carried on by
the remains of democracy this year,
than that paragraph in the speech by
Thomas E. Watson, at Chicago on
Monday, October 10, in which he says:
This campaign to greater extent
than any we have ever known is a
campaign of humbug, so far as Par
ker is concerned. We have a cam
paign against trusts, financed by the
Standard Oil company; "a campaign
against extravaganza, led by men who,
when entrusted with power in 1892 on
a platform pledging them to rigorous
economy, increased the public debt

FOR NEW RECRUITS

The pOpulist vote has never been
reported by the Associated Press and
we have no assurance that it will be
this coming election. VIXEN Weaver
ran on the populist ticket it was many
weeks before we got the returns. We
finally compiled them from, the official
returns as they appeared IN the weekly
papers in the various stats. In some
of the states the dailies are not so
averse to printing populist news just
now, as it is thought that such news
will aid one or the other of the old
parties, but after the election no such
motive will exist 1t would never do
to announce the next day after the
election that Watson and Tibbles had
received two or three million votes.
That would bring the only real Oppo-
sition to plutocracy too much to the
front. Therefore it is probable that
we will have to wait for the full popu-
list returns until after the first of jan
uary when they will be printed in Of
fetal form by all the various states.
Be prepared for this sort of treatment
and do not let the fact that there is
I1cshin9 said in the great dailies the
next day after thcc ssieefiAn about pop
ulism or populist votes, a. all uiscSss=
cert you. Those VITO have come all
the way over the trail will not be af-
fected by it, but the hundreds of thou
sands of new voters for the ticket
should be informed CT what will hap

BEEF TRUST SATISFIED

fHssSc=sNAs ~never worse green
goods game played ths:r=fh snsesiden
has played in regard to the meat trus..
His great fame as a trust buster
rests largely upon his action in regard
to that trust. 1t consisted in bringing
an action to get an injunction against
the trust forbidding it to do certain
things. The trust had been raising the
price OF meat continually for many
months when there vas no correspond
ing rise in the price of cattle. Even
some of the daily papers had been
driven to print protests against the ac-
ton of the trust, and everyone knows
that things were getting beyond endur-
ance or daily paper would never do
a thing like that. Something had to
be done in the interest of the trust to
quiet the people and this Injunction
was obtained. The trust lawyers went
into court and made no objection at
all to the issuing of such an injunc-
ton, which shows that that was lust
what the trust wanted. 1t got it in
exactly the form that it wanted. There
was never the slightest change made In
trust methods after the injunction was
issued. The combine went on doing
business in exactly the same way that
it had been doing it, and Teddy got
great fame as trust buster.
The men who ale fooled by that
trick are greener than the poor victims
who buy gold bricks.
The other day tho Now vorL ryoro1d
sent a reporter to interview J. Ogden
Armour the head OF the trust about
his preference for president Mr.. Ar
mour said: eve are going to support
Mr.. Roosevelt empnatically. We are
satisfied with his administration. =
We can be pretty certain of
what he is going to do, and that means
everything to business man" Now

THAT ALLEN LETTER

A great fuss is being made over the
letter of Senator Allen because he in
that letter. filed brief to prove the
statement of Parker true, that under
the common law alone, the trusts could
be suppressed. Senator Allen starts
out with the declaration that he is a
populist and will vote for Watson and
Tibbles. Then he files as able a brief
in support of the point in discussion
as was ever put on the records of any
court. The Independent, times out Of
number, has called attention to the
fact that every trust existed in def
ance OF the common law. What the
common law is on that subject is made
so plain by Blackstone and Kent, be-

THE SPECIAL EDITION

The special edition of The Independ-
ent will be the greatest contribution
to the literature of the campaign. 1t
will be a collection o. the best pOpulist
literature ever issued, and one that all
refOrmers everywhere will take pleas
.lfs in preserving. It will contain the
full letters OF aIczailstance Of the Two
Toms" The most memorable spcesssssee
of Mr. Watson made during this CAM
paign, together with Mr. Tibbie5
speech on The Money rower,' will
be conspicuous features In addition
to these, it will contain valuable ar
ticles by capable writer's upon the va
rious economic themes involved in the
campaign of the peoples party on be-
half of the plain people
New York has set splendid ex-
ample to the rest of the country in
ordering 10000 copies Of this special
edition. In a later telegram from that
energetic worker in the cause, Henry
M. Mcdonald, he says that the de-
mand will probably exceed 40 900,
making at least $4,000 This speaks
well for the progress of populism in
the east. VIII not those in the south
and west, where the peoples party had
it's birth, emulate the example of New
York, and extend the work for the
building up of the peoples party. 1t
is the party of the future and this spe-
cial edition of The Independent will be
a tremendous impetus to the growth OF
the organization
1t is necessary, however, that all
desiring copies of this edition be
prompt in forwarding their orders
Much preparation is necessary for the
mailing of this edition. Send in your
orders at once.

a strike at the point of the bayonet."
If the Parker campaign were being
conducted by men of the Bryan brand
of democracy, such statement could
not be true. But when it is considered
that the entire management Of his
nomination and the conduct of his
campaign since nomination has been
in the hands of the class that domi-
mated the unholy Cleveland reign, then
We see the applicability of Mr.. Wat
sons statement. Cleveland, Carlisle,
Olney, in>addition to the malodorous
Hill, Belmont, German, and such kind
red breed of yellow-hued CANNES, are
not only in control of, but actually
dominating in every sense of the term
the campaign of this bit of putty "a
beled Parker that aspires to sit upon
the presidential chair We have had
one putty president. We will not re-
peat the offense. Nj. Bryan still adj
heres 10 his former statements regard
| ing Parker, says he has nothing to take
back, yet, instead of supporting Tom
Watson in his gallant fight for the res
toration of Jeffersonian democracy, is
supporting this man Parker, just to
be regular, just to be democrat, just
in the hope of recognizing this NAL
odOrous, offensive conglomeration OF
pusilanimity, crookedness, assininity
and baseness. Mr.. Bryan, it is a
stencil. Leave it.
