Hon. Hurry y. Hawcs, candidate
for the democratic nomination for
governor, In an open letter issued
Wednesday Of last week an
nounccd that he would no longer
contest counties In the state with
Mr.. Folk. lie says, however, that
he intends TO have his name pre-
scented TO the state convention, and
that he expects his delegation from
st. Louis to vote Tor him.
In the letter he grudgingly adj
mits that he has realized the
utility Of trying TO beat the
people, and refers to the contest
In Mississippi and Jefferson
counties, where Folk overwhelmed
him. lie says, also, that Folk Is
al imaginary man, created by the
metropolitan press, but declares
that II IN democratic to let the
majority rule. The letter from
first To last shows that Mr.. Halves
Is not In n particularly good
humor.

FOLK KEEPS GAMING.

Notwithsta nding leading demo-
Gratis OF the state and their
leading newspapers have been for
months past contending that Jos.
w. Folk was no democrat, yet he
keeps gaining delegates every
week rs u democratic candidate
for governor. That shows how
much con iidcnce the people have
In some newspapers and some OF
Its public men.
Twcnty-cight delegates were ad-
ded to the Folk total by the coun-
ties selecting last week, bringing
his total of uncontested delegates
10 $50, or within i28 Of enough to
nominate. Ten counties will this
week select 80 more votes for the
convention. Two of these, Greene
and Howard, are being fought for
by Reed, and he has also SHE'D his
castor into tho Audrain county
ring, but 1t lie likely that they will
all go for the circuit attorney. The
Folk managers claim that another
three weeks will settle the result. In
suring the nomination of Mr.. Folk
two months before the nominating
convention. Folks close personal
friends profess opposition to pla-
cling IN out-and-out antimachine
ticket in the field, although many
of his followers say they will no,
stand for anything else. These
advocates insist that a failure to
speak plainly, both In the plat
form and in the personnel OF the
candidates for minor offices, will
weaken the ticket.

WEDNESDAY,, NOVEMBER 9, 1904.
THE ELECTION.

Parker and Davis yester, ay wer
defeated by the largest majority in
the history of American politics.
Many democrats either voted the re
publican ticket outright or slnmped
to the socialists.
Both the eastern and western
wings of the party have had trial OF
methods now up to the real de-
mocracy of the country, regardless
of sectional lines to get together and
do the right thing.
Roosevelt swept this county and
state, but Governor Toole and the
state ticket are no doubt elected by
safe majori.ies.
The county ticket Jared badly,
doubtless chiefly for the reason that
the nominees were swept down by
the avalanch of public sentiment that
followed in the wake OF the rough
rider.

THE FAIR THING.

When farmer hires hand at $26
per month, board and washing, just
what is fair and right to demand Of
the man III the way of work: is a ques-
ton fired at u.s. Well, the eight hour
plan won't work, to start with. Dur
ing the crop season farm cannot well
be handled with less than twelve
hours work, say two hours for doing
chores, two hours for meals and eight
hours for straight work in the fields;
If hired man would not do this much
we would not want him. In addition
to this, there will be times when this
limit will have to be exceeded-in hay
ing, harvesting and thrashing time.
On the other hand, the hired man who
Is willing to meet these conditions
should not be kept at work every min
ute during rainy day. We believe
that where two men are kept 1t is bet
ter to turn the milking and the chores
over to one and let him take his time
in doing them. Too many chores to do
after Il hard days work in the field is
what makes the hired man homesick.

As TO SEED CORN.

Throughout the corn belt there was
last spring n vigorous effort made by
some Of the agricultural experiment
stations to instruct the growers Of corn
in regard to their seed corn, It's selec-
ton, planting, etc. While much good
was thus no doubt accomplished, the
right time to do this sort of work Is in
the fall Of the year. at the time when
the seed corn should be gathered from
the field. Once knowing what to se-
lect for seed. the winter care of 1t Is
really simple matter, bearing in mind
the fact we have heretofore noted In
these columns-that to insure perfect
termination of seed corn it should be
picked before frost and kept where 1t
will not freeze until planted, for 1t Is
frost which Is the principal destroyer
Of the vitality of seed corn.

THE LAND CRAZE.

Two years ago the land craze was at
its height all through the west. The
owner of farm was not then safe in
putting price on his land unless he
was ready to make good and sell it.
There were ten men after every piece
of land for sale. and prices We're BOOM
ed up largely beyond real values. Any
kind of farm land could then find buy
ers - good improved farms, timber
tracts, swamps. sand hills. 1t is diff.
ferent now. The craze is over. Values
have declined. Farms are now sold at
a figure based upon their productive
capacity. Buyers are few, notwith-
standing the farm is just as safe and
paying a proposition today as before,
the average selling value of farm prod
ucts being if anything higher now than
two and three years ago. Americans
have these periodical speculative
crnzes and always will. A century ago
they had the silkworm and mulberry
craze, in late years the Belgian hare
fad had 'em, and now whole lot are
stuck on ginseng. Spite Of all our edu-
cation, morality and intelligence, the
average American is born speculator
and gambler; it's bred in him.

THE END OF ONE TRUST.

Uncle Sam can bust almost any trust

this line was we'll illustrated in the
Philippine Islands last fall. A drought
cut the rice crop Of the islands short.
Spectators bought up all the rice in
sight and proposed to make a pile of
money even If the natives starved to
death. Uncle Sam got on to their
game and sent his agents to China, ia
pan and other rice growing countries
and bought $2,OOO.OOO worth of rice.

ALCOHOL FOR POWER,

The empire Of Germany has 6,637
potato distilleries in operation for the
making Of alcohol for power purposes.
This alcohol is produced for about 2
cents per gallon. The time will come
when the waste fruits and sweets as
we'll as potatoes and cereals will be
used in this country for the same pur-
pose, alcohol furnishing the most easily
obtained and cheapest power in the
world. One thing. however. is at pres
ent needed, and that is some process
whereby such alcohol can be made un-
drinkable.
