the congressional district and are
champions Of Col. A. F. Foster, can
didates for congress-. Said Mr.. Koer-
ner: ''Meeker county will give Col.
Foster larger vote than he received
two years ago, and we are going to
make a fight to have him nominated.
We expect to do it. We feel that he is
good man for the place, an old
soldier, and as he stepped out of the
way two years ago In the interest of
party harmony, when he believed he
had been nominated, his friends feel
that 1t is but fair play to have him
given the nomination this year. We
understand that reports have been
circulated that there was no enthusi-
asm for Foster in his home city. This
is mistake. We are all united and
will stand by him.

My Little Woman.

Would the diamond seem such a peer
less gem
If it measured one foot round?
Would the rose leaf yield such a sweet
perfume
If it covered yards Of ground?
Would the dew drops seem so clear and
pure
If dew like rain should fall7
Or would little woman be half so great
If she were six fest tall?
IT'S the hand as soft as the nesting bird
That grips with the grip of steel;
IT'S the voice as sweet as the summer
wind
That rules without appeal.
And the warrior, scholar, the saint and
sage
May fight, and plan and pray
The world will wag to the end of time.
In the little woman's way.

for TO the farmer in Europe, he dis
covers that high trust prices have
their drawbacks as we'll az their ad-
yantages. AS long as high prices
were confined to wheat, cotton ana
corn, the farmer had the best OF It,
hut now the trusts have forced up
the cost of living. which includes near
~ everything the farmer does not pro-
duce, the profit made off the farm Is
less than when prices. all around,
were much lower. The quality OF
clothing is not nearly so good as 1t
was some years ago; the "all wool
and a yard wide cloth Is thing OF
the past; 1t Is now nearly all cotton
and 33 inches wide, as anyone can dis
cover by measuring 1t and picking
even what is called fine goods to
pieces and closely examining It. The
high protective duty on wool has led
the manufacturer to initiate wool with
cotton, SO that only an expert can dis
cover the difference. This wonderful
apparent transformation Of cotton Is
called the mercerizing process, and
the combine that Is producing It is
realizing vast profits. There is no
protective duty on cotton. so the dif-
ference In price between cotton and
wool Is wide apart; the first named
being worth eleven cents pound. and
wool about twenty-five cents. Thus,
although the protective tariff on wool
Is the highest on record, IL cents a
pound on unsecured and % cents on
secured, since 1897, the price OF wool
has been much lower than under any
other high tariff Yet, the farmers
have not made money on their sheep.
to Judge by the great decrease In the
number raised. reported by the Agri-
cultural Department The enormous
duty on wool has induced the manu-
facturers to find substitute. the mcr-
cerIzed cotton and shoddy. The shod-
dy mills OF Cleveland and elsewhere I
were never more prosperous than un-
der the present tariff. SO the farmers
have been selling their wool at low !
price and buying mercerlzed cotton
and shoddy at high price. when they
bought suit OF clothes or any fabric
supposed to be manufactured Of wool,
These are some OF the beauties OF
the high protective tariff. and how II
protects the farmer.
