1t is the duty of the state to
the drainage of swamp

1t is the duty of the state to
continue the drainage of swamp
lands already begun and liberal
appropriations should be made
for such purpose and if neces-
sary bonds should be issued to
carry on the work. Prospective
settlers should be employed to
do the work as far as is practi-
cable. As fast as the lands are
reclaimed and made tillable
they should be sold to actual
settlers in tracts not exceeding
100 acres each for reasonable
price for the land and the cost
of reclamation.
We request our senators and
members of congress to labor
diligently to secure an appropri-
alton from the general govern
ment to drain the lands on the
Indian reservations and the
opening Of the same to home

per acre paid the Indians
and the cost of reclamation.

owering some. Mckinley revised
the tariff, raising some schedules
and lowering some DINGHY revised
the tariff, raising some schedules,
lowering some. When we were a
member of congress, during the
great coal strike the tariff was
revised at the instance of special
message from President Roosevelt
by putting coal temporarily on the
free list.
Lodge, Dick, Dalzell and
Gosvenor and men of that ilk tell
us that it will disturb business.
That is why progressive republicans
favor it. They want to disturb the
business of the Gibralter intrenched
trusts which dictate the price at
which men must buy and also the
price at which men must sell, who
by nodding to their type writer,
can raise the price of commodities
consumed by the masses and the
masses are helpless because all out
side competition is shut off by
prohibitive tariff. They want to
shake up the business of those
concerns that sell products to
foreign consumers cheaper than
they do to the American public.
They would like to rattle the
business of the lumber barons who,
whenever q member of their family
has an attack of stomach ache,
they boost the price of all the
material that makes shelter for man
and beast throughout the northwest
fifty cents or dollar thousand in
order that the afflicted one can take
trip to Berlin and be operated on
for appendicitis. If a tariff
revision would not disturb business
nobody would want it. 1t would
not do any good. Progressive
citizens are anxious to disturb
business that will be disturbed by
just, fair and equitable legislation.
The republican party has always
been a party of revision. 1t re-.
vised slavery out of the land. 1t
has revised the tariff times without
number and it will do it again. 1t
revised the currency laws. 1t is
going to revise the corporation
laws and railroad rates. 1t is going
to revise insurance laws so that the
money Of policy holders will not
be spent in paying dead mems
salaries. 1t is going to revise
whenever and wherever revision is
needed and all the concluded stories
and statutes of limitation statesmen
in congress and out of it can not
stop it by crying political heresy or
raising that slogan of retrogression,
"Let well enough alone"
Revision is Republicanism.

"STANDPATTISM" NOT RI
PuBLlcAN.SM.

Ever since the days that the
standpatters crucified the Saviour
Fof men because he proposed a
revision of the religion of the
ancients and the establishment of a
scheme of redemption on even
terms for all the children of men
''standpatters'' have stood like a
stone wall in the way of every
reform movement that has arisen
in this or any other nation of the
world. Such men as Senator
Lodge, Senator Dick, Congressman
Dalzell, Congressman Grosvenor
and men of that ilk who claim to
be members of the republican party
of uplift and progress but who are
really hide-bound, moss-encrusted,
antiquated representatives of corpo-
rations, whenever progressive re-
publicans say anything about tariff
revision or reciprocity. point at
them the finger of scorn and cry in
a loud voice Democrats" 'sFree
Traders" Traitors to republican
ism" and like the standpatters of
old cry in loud voice, "Crucify
them for they have abandoned the
faith of the fathers and have gone
out after Strange Gods; Cruelty
them upon the cross of political
defeat"
Why bless their benighted souls?
The democrats were the original
standpatters in the political history
of the United States. Bourbon
democracy "stood pat'' on the
slavery question until the progress
sive members of the party joined
hands with other progressive ele-
ments and wrested the control of
the government from their hands
and with the red life blood of the
best and bravest washed the dark
stain of human bondage forever
from the escutcheon of the Repub
lie. Democrats ''stood pat'' or
tariff for revenue only and free
trade until the national government,
and every state in the union except
those who remained democratic fol
purely local reasons passed out Of
their control. Democrats ssstood
pat" on free silver until that once
powerful political party has become
remlnlscence in national affairs
and not factor.

The republican party has revised
the tariff more times since they

When Congressman McCleary
talked of putting tax on coffee he
was talking for the benefit of the
''standpatters." He is far to
shrewd to ever introduce such a

FIGURE 3 A NEMESIS
Kansas Man and Wife Made Unhappy
by Its Machin atpns.

Kansas City, Sept. 21.-Wher big,
black figure 3 comes stalking around
about three times a ninlte and keeps
thrus.inE an uncanny vlsag, inrc Il
couples affairs, what's the use trying
to be happy? That's what Simary w.
Putnam and his pretty young wife,
Dolly, think, and now it is likely that
the divorce court will end the spell
which the numerical ghost has put on
their lives.
Three has been in everything that
has happened to them since their mar
riage. To begin with, they had been
acquainted just three months when the
ceremony took place, and this was
March 3, 1904, the third day of the
third month, at 3 o'clock in the after
noon. Then the Putnams took we'd
ding trip of three weeks that covered
three states. There was never cloud
on their bliss-for three months.
Then there was row. and Mrs.
Putnam promptly packed up her things
and went home to mother. She stay
ed three weeks and she and her nus
band exchanged three letters, after
which she went back.
IF / had only stayed at home FOUR
weeks" said the wife yesterday, per
haps it would have been all right. But
three-well, the number is a hoodoo to
us. It's worse than all the thirteens
that every jonahed anything. We have
agreed that we can't get away from
the three, and so we have given UP try
ing"
After three weeks visit at home all
was serene, and the honeymoon was
started all over again, with both as
happy as after the first venture. Then
the three again-three months this
time. Then another quarrel. Then
three weeks more with mother.
Another truce was patched up, and
again bliss-and it lasted just three
months to day. But the right was
there to stay, and another squall came
observe that this was row number
three For the third time Mrs. Putnam
gave it up and went to her old home,
and this time it seems that the separa-
ton is permanent. for the husband has
sued for divorce on the grounds of de-
sertion. He filed the suit yesterday,
the third day of the week. and the
number on the court room door is 3.
The docket number of the suit is H.
$685.
"These are only few of the threes
in the case" said Mr.. Putnam yester-
day THAT number is the greatest
hoodoo in the world, and thirteen,
cross-eyed negroes and everything in
that class aren't circumstances. For
instance the hoodoo even applies TO
the house cat. She is the mother of
three filters of kittens, each born on

Aside From Best Offerings the
Market Was Inclined to
Lower Prices
GOOD BEEvEs ARE WANTED
Range Cattle Mostly About 20 Cents
Lower Than Last Week - Eastern
Shipping Demand for Hogs Was Re-
stricted and Prices Were Generally
About S to- 10 Cents Lower.

Chicago, Sept. 81. - Cattle Aside
from best offerings the market was
slow and weak, largely 10 cents lower
than yesterday, farmstead and range
cattle being chiefly 20 cents lower
than late last week. Strictly prime
beeves continue to find ready sale at
steady prices.
Big heavy plain steers We're again
the poorest sellers in closing hours
yesterday, though the medium weight
halffat kinds met competition from
big run of rangers, and in fact condl
tons in trade for all but strictly prime
beeves were decidedly unsatisfactory as
compared with the early market.
At the close there was very little call
for cattle, though sellers had worked
off nearly all desirable grades and not
many We're left in first hands.
Dealers had only small supplies OF
good weight feeders on hand Wednes-
day and there was sufficient demand to
clear offerings of such at steady prices,
though the light and medium feeders
and also stock cattle were lower. Bulk
of the fresh supply sold at 10c decline
and a considerable amount of trading
in the state offerings of the palmer
was also at that loss. There was liberal
country demand for feshy feeders.
Hogs.
Owing to large supplies and restrict
ed eastern shipping demands, prices
We're weak at 500 cents lower.
The reaction of the market yester-
day dispels any illusion existing in
country shipping circles that SIS can be
paid with safety for the general run
of mixed hogs. While packers do not
seem disposed to countenance breaks,
they are not in the humor to supper.
such efforts to score appropriations as
were made yesterday and the condition
of trade is decidedly supersensitive, So
that sharp expansion in supply
would doubtless result in declines.
shippers cannot pay SIS with safe
ty," said an Iowa buyer. "To do so is
tantomount to inviting loss of "a
cents per cwt 1t is difficult. however
to buy them for less. l have been bid
ding $3.50 for wagon loads and SAT-
for full loads. but owners are not dis
posed to accept these prices. If a
nickel could be paid, run would soon
be started and that is evidently what
packers do not want at this moment"
Sheep.
Today's market was a very good one
on the whole, and some choice feeder

same description yesterday. Native

Calves Will Decline.

Chicago, Sept. 21.-The time is ripe
for the calf market to get a jolt.
Prices of calves have been out OF pro-
portion to the value of other live stock
commodities and We're held up to the
lofty pinnacle by the fact that calves
We're scarce in the east and therefore
commanding extraordinary prices.
Buyers here have been paying the
prices reluctantly and claimed that

level. They have been looking for
chance to pull the market down ana
took the first big chunk off yesterday.
Whether they will be able to hold the
market down or not will depend on
the supply in the future. During the

the year and fully dollar higher than
a year ago. 1t is remarkable tina.
prices have held up so long.
