AN IDEAL FARM POWER.

few years ago the gasoline en-
CINE was seldom spoken or heard or
especially in connection with tafm
work. while today 1t is common TOPIC
OF conversation among machinlsts
farmers, blacksmiths and elevator
men. This new interest has been
brought about by the manufacturers
who have given the trade practical en-
gines In which the working parts have
been smplified and perfected so that
scarcely any knowledge Of the princi-
pie OF gasoline engines Is needed in
order to operate one like an expert.
In fact, bright boy may be taught
in the course of half an hour how
to STRAIT, stop. and care for an engine.
They are on account of their SIM
plicity. ease of operation, and econo-
my Of fuel consumption admirably
adapted for farm and irrigating pur-
poses. On the farm they can be at
tached to almost any machine that 1t
is necessity to drive, and perform this
work much more economically than
with either steam, horse or man pow
err. The gasoline motor has come to
revolutionize travel also. With compe-
ton between manufacturers of pleas
ure motor vehicles some OF the largest
manufacturers Of motor vehicles have
turned their attention to the COM
mercial motor field and are developing
satisfactory delivery wagons capable
Of hauling two or three tons. 1t is
time for the horse to cast about for
some other business. The motor is
upon him.

MIR. DePEw AS IcHABoD.

Chauncey NJ. Depew has had a great
vogue. He has been perhaps more than
any other public man the type of the
average American calls a smart man.
He has been business man. orator, poll
tician and literateur. all In one; a
charming story teller, a good fellow"
versatile and active. He has been gem
orally accepted as an honest man. as
men go. TO that class of men who re-
quire much Mr. Depew. has never peen
an ideal. but ordinary people have ac-
copied him as u good typ of the
American public man.
But Mr.. Depews Improvement CONF
pany and It's loan from the Equitable
has changed all this. 1t is said that
Mr.. Depew himself voted for the loan
of $25O,000 on $4,000 security. This
money that he voted to loan belonged
to policyholders, who. We're then pay
ing Mr.. Depew $4,000 year to safe
guard their rights 1t Is also reported
that Mr.. Depew guaranteed this loan
to his Improvement company and then
withdrew his guaranty on the ground
that 1t was Illegal. leaving the loss to
rest upon the policyholders, whose re-
tainer he had in his pocket, and whose
interests as a director and member OF
the executive committee OF the Equft-
able he was pledged to guard.
Mr.. Depew has been immensely rich
for years. He had no fear Of poverty
He had more money than he could
ever use legitimately. What was 1t
that led him to betray his clients for
the poor pieces Of silver that were his
reward? II would seem that public
confidence were worth more to Depew
than millions and that. to be singled
out among men for his integrity as he
has been for quarter Of century
was distinction money could not buy.
1t seems now that we have been vic
tins OF an optical delusion, and that
the figure that seemed alive has been
only a puppet among the puppets. Mr..
Depew has lost something that all the
wealth OF the world can never buy
back--the confidence Of the public.
Worse yet, he has Checked public con-
fidence in better men than himself.

UNDER WHICH KINGo

[Webster City Freeman-Tribune.l
The Freeman Tribune would prefer
to see LATE Young in the gubernatorial
chair to some meek, timid, irresolute
man who would seek favor of all in-
terests and factions. With LATE and
his friends at the helm there would be
harmony in the executive council when
the corporations appeared to lay their
own assessments. The railroads and
kindred interests would get just what
they wanted. The people Of the state
would understand this and there would
be no anxiety over the matter. But
with a weak, didn't-know- where he
was-at governor. the railroads would
have to fight for position and the peo-
pie would become aroused trying to
prevent special favors to them. Yet
the corporations would get what they
wanted in the end. but efforts would be
made to fool the people and there
would be cat-hauling and uncertainty
all along the line. Give us republican
of the LATE Young stripe or one OF the
William Larrabee kind. Let somebody
hammer out victory and enjoy the
fruits therefore. The idea of seeking
a man who pleases no one, who stands
for nothing but votes, who would try
to placate all factions and interests,
who would not know what to do with
the goyernorship after securing it,
ought to be abandoned or put in cold
storage to be kept until the people
surrendered their opinions and are
ready to accept whatever may be dish
ed up to them.

II MUSTN'T HAPPEN AGAIN.

II z
| Carried away by the scandal in the
statistical bureau of the agricultural
department considerable number OF
ordinarily conservative writer's are i'm
clined to minimize the value OF the
government crop reports and decry the
usefulness Of the agricultural depart
ment in general Scandal in a govern
ment department always suggests wid-
err corruption than Is shown by the
facts, and mankind, like the ancient
shoemaker, who found a defect in the
foot of an otherwise perfect piece, Is
prone to assume from single instance
of crookedness or inefficiency that an
entire department is Initiated or weak.
Thus the thoughtless are inclined to
discredit the agricultural department
in toto because trusted clerk sold out
the information he should have re-
ligiously guarded. Almost every long
established business firm has had an
experience similar to Secretary Will
sons, and found itself betrayed in one
way or another by a trusted employee.
It is difficult to make complete check
in any business. Some one must be
trusted, and occasionally in public and
private positions this one turns out a
scoundrel
Crop forecasts based on accurate in
formation gathered by the department
have definite value. perhaps not SO
much to the farmer and the home mer-
chant who depends entirely on local
trade, but vastly valuable to the
wholesaler and manufactured, who do
business over extended territories. A
Marshalltown manufacturing company
for instance, is watching the forecasts
of the United States and Canada
closely. 1t makes in spring and sum-
mer the articles 1t sells for the win
ter. Promise of good crops in the
territory of its dealers increases ac-
tiyity at its factories. Reports of crop
failure limit it's output. The jobber
stocks up on the crop report. The re-
tail merchant, like the farmer, is most
" content with a knowledge Of local
crop. conditions, but many good far
mer Is holding or selling with an eye
on the crop forecast.
All in all the crop forecasts are
worth all they cost US. The informa-
ton on the major crops have no great
speculative value as most brokers ana
gamblers In food products gather in
formation more rapidly and quite as
accurately as the government does.
The government forecasts are a ball
ance against the inside information
that the spectators CLEAN for them
chance with the buyer. The cotton
branch Of the crop reports seems to
have been peculiarly adapted to the
