Gulf Exports.
There Is a great revolution going on
In the commerce Of this country which
- little noted, but which is destined to
exercise a vast influence on trade con-
dittons and the relative growth Of Off
fsrsnt sections. The increase in gulf
exports is simply amazing. The Inter
national Economist states that the In
crease Of gulf exports for the latter
part Of 1908 was 100 per cent while
the increase from the Atlantic was
only 30 per cent All the railroads in
the western half Of the United States
east of the Rockies are heading for the
gulf. They have a downhill pull for
heavy freights, and exports are much
greater in weight and bulk than i'm
ports. This one fact will ultimately
send nearly all our exports from east
Of the Alleghanies to Europe via the
gulf. 1t is true that so far the exports
via ports of the Atlantic are ton for
Ion much more valuable than those
sent by way Of the gulf, because the
latter are chiefly agricultural and

The Panama canal will give vast
impetus to the gulf export trade, az
viii also the Chicago drainage canal,
which will finally be so deepened and
bfoadened as to float ocean steamers.

King Edward seems to have aroused
some adverse criticism by his determi-
nation not to hold court in Scotland
and Ireland. His reasoning is that II
he holds court outside of England at
all he cannot confne such functions to
Ireland and Scotland, but must also
extend them to the other states of the
British empire, which would be incon-
venient, If not impossible.

Those who think Of summer
following the coming season
should bear in mind the fact that
in a six years experiment at the
Fargo station, wheat after corn
yields four bushels more to the
acre than after well handled
summer follow. When properly
done, it is but little harder car
ing for corn at the time it is
grown than for a summer follow;
and then for hecuttingandhand
ling, we have a splendid lot of the
best fodder and nearly always a
good crop of corn. In addition
to this, in place Of hot, dry winds
from the exposed surface of the
land, we have the forest condition
a green corn field carries. It
seems to us, that beyond ques-
ton, corn in the place of summer
fallow is better for our land, for
our neighbors and for ourselves.
1t must be understood, however,
that we refer only to well titled
and handled corn, and well hand
led Neutrality-suspicious. Farmer.

A NEW GAME

A new game has cropped out.
It is called: Tickle the Editor"
and is as follows: Take a sheet
of ordinary writing paper, fold it
nicely, enclose a bank note sufi-
GENTLY large to pay all arrearages
and one year in advance and hand
it to the editor. Keep your eye
on him, and if a smile adorns his

SOME SUGGESTIONS

The following suggestions for
trap shooters are pertinent:
l. Good shooting depends less
upon who made the gun than up
on who pulls the trigger.
2. More targets are broken by
being hit with No, SIS than by be-
ing missed with No. IS.
3. Shot don't go toward what
the shooter looks at, but toward
what he points his gun at.
4. Some time should be spent
on the load to be shot, but more
upon the man who shoots it,

ABATrIR roR JUSTICE.

Madison State: The existence Of pol
itical war Ia the republican party in
this and other states may as well be con-
fessed; there is stru ggle to determine
whether the people or the corporations
are to rule in the state and nation. The
corporations have the money, they have
a majority of the newspapers, they are
sustained by some United States sena-
tors and some congressman and their APP
pointees, and If the common people wish
to maintain their rights they must light
for them. Money is a powerful agent
and the corporations win use 1t unspar-
ingly to intrench themselves in every
branch of government. Th ) champions
of the peoples cause are not rich and II
they are to succeed they should be sus'
tanned by ali who believe in the equality
Of opportunity. That eternal vigilance
is the price Of liberty" is as true now
as in Che days Of Patrick Henry, and the
common people, if they would be free
from the tyranny Of corporations and
trusts, must wake mp and hold up the
arms of men who are battling for Ell Ia
rights.

VICTORY OF PRINCIPLES.

Westby Times. The almost unani-
nous election of delegates in Vernon
county favorable to the candidacy of
Judge D. 0. Mahoney for congress is a
victory Of principles in this county. The
fight was the most bitter ever waged in
the county. Less personalities on both
sides would have been better, but these
are Invariably the result of such con-
tests.
The voters should be complimented
for not yielding to the temptation of
climbing onto the loaded wagon simply
because it is loaded.
Vernon county has spoken with the
ballot in voice that cannot be misun-
derstood Between the lineE on those
ballots one could read, IL he so desired,
condemnation of snap conventions, CEN
sure for congressman who block legisla-
ton demanded by majority of the par.
ty, and rebuke for men who spend enor-
nous sums of money to secure nomina-
lions for office
Victories for principles have occurred
in Vernon county in the past and they
will occur in the future.

GENTLEMEN: Your business is, when
a house burns down, to give the owner
some money to build new one. 1t is a
good business. Queer that the world
got on so long without it.
We paint the one hat burned down
and the new one too. What is better,
we paint the houses that don't burn
down.
You insure the houses that burn; we
insure the houses that don't. You have
the ashes and smoke; all the houses are
ours.
We paint lead-and.zinc; Devoe. We
sell the paint to painters we don't paint
Lead-and oil is the old.fashion paint.
Devoe is zinc ground in with lead and
linsesd oil; the best paint IN the world,
and the cheapest, because it takes fewer
gallons than mixed paints and 1t wears
twice as long as lead-and-oil. Nobody
wants poor paint; there's lots of it,
though, in the world.
A NJ Griffin, Plainfield, N J, writes
"Mr. Aaron Higgins, Of PlainHeld. always
used IS gallons OF mixed paint for his house.
Last Spring he bIught Is gallons Of Devoe
and bad gallons left"

Last night, as asleep | was lying
Upon my soft feather-bed
dreamed that my body was dying
.knd my soul toward the unknown sped.
IL drank OF Freedoms fresh fountains
Unmarried by the casket OF clay,
And scared over the highest mountains
Passing planets and suns on Its way.
Onward my soul was speeding
Through regions dazzling bright.

Others were coming in sight.

saw OF Heaven gleam-
But was reused by mandate voices
And found # was only a dream.

 "Second-That the Democratic Execu- tive Committee of the Eighth Judicial Circuit be hereby petitioned to take immediate steps to make these nomina- tions by the several counties of the said circuit.
 "Third-That copy of these resolu- tions be forwarded to the chairman of the said committee, requesting him to call said committee to meet him at once. and that at such meeting a con vention with pooper representation from each county be called at Deca- tur within time for the filing of nom nations with the Secretary of State"

 Whereas, The Supreme Court of the State has declared what is known as the Lusk bill to be unconstitutional; and,
 Whereas, There Is some talk of the Legislature being called in extra ses- sion; therefore be it
 Resolved. That we deem 1t unwise and unnecessary to so convene the Leg islature at this time.
 That we favor the old circuits as- suming their former shape and juris- diction rather than the State should incur the expense of another session of the Legislature at present.
 The unconstitutionality of the Lusk act has very seriously upset matters in this county and judicial circuit. Aside from the tangle in the formation of the circuit and the two. nominees for judge and solicitor now in the bounds of the circuit. there Is another matter that is engaging considerable. attention. h August Judge D.

The Edwards COmpany in 'sThe Tanning

 Shakespeare's. great comedy, The Tanning of the shrew." was presented at the BiJou Theatre by Walter Ed wards and Company last night, and served its purpose.
 One does not expect to see a great or excellent production of any of Shake speares plays by stock company en route unless that company be a galaxy of stars. The audience at the BiJou did not see hne performance of The Tam- ing of the Shrew." The play was well staged. tastily costumed and In some of the parts was we'll acted.
 To Miss Jane Wheatley is due much credit for an artistic portrayal of the moods and temperament of Katharine, the Shrew. In this role, Miss Wheatley had an opportunity to show what she could do, an opportunity which she has not had in the previous plays by the Edwards Company, and she took ad- vantage of the chance; From the first act, when she Showed we'll the high strung and ungovernable Kate, to the final triumph over her spirit she ex- hibited ability and understanding. She captivated the audience and elicited
 MT. Edwards's PetruchIo was good. but 1t lacked the f1nesse he has hitherto exhibited. His reading was clear and distinct, but /his Petruchio seemed a bit too strenuous.
 In. the dual role of Grumio and the music master. Frank Sylvester did clever work. He appeared to better ad- vantage in Grumio and his acting brought forth deserved approval from the audience.
 The Bijou orchestra, under the leader ship of G. F. Lindner, contributed large 1y to the enjoyment of the evening by Furnishing an excellent quality of rnu sic in masterly style. The selections from Maid Marian" and San Domingo Maid were especially, well rendered.
 The Tanning of the Shrew" will be repeated tonight.
