TOO MUCH FOR SELF.

There are people living too much for self these days. Espee- tally is this true of the man of bus mess in town, or at least there Is something that makes this seem that way. Most men in business employ all their time with their business. There has got to be such a greed or avarice between them that each one employs all his time trying to keep the other fel- lows from absorbing all his busi- ness. Hence he often seems sell fish when in reality he is not. But no man should get too busy with his own business to pay any atten- tion to public business which Is absolutely necessary to the growth and development of the town. Every man whether of business or not owes the town in which he lives consideration in every line of promotion and advancement which may come up and he should not become so absorbed in his own private affairs that he cannot give time to public affairs.

QUARREL OVER MONEY.

Reports from Walnut Ridge say that late Monday afternoon George Parker shot his brother in-law, H. l.. Henderson. Both are farmers living four miles west of town on the Hill-Fontain farm. It seems Parker owed Henderson some money and refused to pay him, and they had several qua rrels about it. The matter was brought up again Monday and Parker shot Henderson with a shot gun, near ly the entire load taking effect in Henderson's right side. He was serious ly wounded, but may re- cover.

THE FARMERS MEETING.

The members of the Farmers Union of this county will hold their county meeting today and tomorrow with the sturdy farmers of Black River township at Oak Ridge.
 The Farmers Union now has upwards of 60.000 members in Arkansas, and the farmers are thoroughly in earnert in their or ganization. A great many people do not yet seem to fully compre- hend the purpose of this great or ganization, and there seems to be n tendency on the part of some to make light of the organization. The editor of The Journal has read a good deal about the organi- zation, both for and against it, and we believe we know enough about dts aims and workings to say that 1t is productive of great good to the farmers, that patient and long, suffering class, the burden-bearers of the nation, upon whom every man, in all callings or conditions

The Sunday papers published a dispatch from Fort Smith saying that Governor Davis and Senator Berry met in a hotel lobby at that place, and that Senator Berry de- iiberately snubbed the governor, but the report has since been de- nied by both parties. It seems that the campaign liar is getting in his work early.

of life, must depend for food and rainment.
 We find today that all classes of business men are organized, and l the world takes 1t as a matter of course, and makes no complaint; but when the farmers begin to or ganize we hear divers and sundry objections put forth as to why they should not organize, and as to why and how an organization of farmers cannot be made per manennt.
 The Journal does not believe that the farmers, any more than any other class, should organize for the purpose of placing unrea- sonable prices upon their products or for the oppression of their fel- Iowzmen, but we recognize the right of the farmers to organize. In fact, we believe the time has come when they must organize, and if there is class of people on the face of the earth who have a right to organize, 1t seems to Us that 1t is the farmers. They pro- duce the wealth of the earth, and If there IS any man who has a right to say what his wares are worth, 1t is the farmer, the man who produces or creates wealth. They have 1t in their power to regulate production to the extent of harmonizing supply with de- mand, and it Is undeniable that there must be some system in human affairs; some uniformity in the transaction of business the world over. Then why should the farmers, any more than the manu- facturer of chairs or other neces- sary commodities, continue, in a ship-shod manner, to produce more of any commodity than the world will consume at a reasonable price
 50 long as the farmers keep pol itics out of their organizations, they will result in good to their members, and these county and state meetings will be looked for ward to with pleasure. The mem bers will be enabled to cultivate a more friendly and fraternal feeling toward each other, and will be benefited by a fri endly discussion and exchange of ideas in regard to the knotty problems that often confront the tillers of the soil.
 The Journal sends its best wish es and fraternal regards to the farmers assembled in county con- vention, and assures them of its hearty good wishes for their fu- ture welfare and prosperity.

Like the running brook, the

The springs of red blood are
found in tie soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the 'richesr of all fats, the pure

Martin Is Candid.

Readers of the Argus Leader and peo-
pie of the state generally will be inter-
ested in the interview given the Argus
Leader by Congressman +. w. Martin,
who is candidate for the United States
senate, and who spent part of yester-
day in Sioux Falls. The congressman
makes his position very clear and those
to whom he appeals for support are left
In no doubt as to where and for what ne
stands.
The cheap charge that Congressman
is not in sympathy with the president
is disposed of summarily. 1t was Con-
gresham Martin who in 1902 caused
demonstration in the South Dakota re-
publican convention by declaring for
Roosevelt in 1904. Mr.. Martin does not
point out that this charge" was first
made by those who ridiculed Roosevelt
in 1902 and who voted against him in
1904, but he might have done so with
propriety That is why the Argus-L Lead
er calls it cheap charge"
On the rate matter Congressman Mar.
tin points out that he voted for the
Townsend bill and while he believes
that measure is crude and imperfect, he
is confident that out of it will be evolved
a measure which will be fair to the peo-
pie and to the railroads. Mr.. Martin is
he considers to be one of the dominant
issues before the American public. 1t
was Congressman Martin who started
the investigation of the beef trust, which
has resulted in twenty.one indictments
of big packers. Mr.. Martin believes in
federal investigation and control of the
trusts and in such publicity as will pre-
vent over capitalization and consequent
robbery OF the people.
The Argus Leader finds it hard to dis
guise its admiration for Congressman
Martin. He is one of those men who
do things. He is student of national
politics, and takes into his public work
highmindedness which makes him a
valuable man for the state to have at
Washington. He is plain spoken, flat
footed and "on the square," and he rep
rssents the best type of public service.
As the campaign develops, Mr.. Martin
will be found to clearly meet any legiti-
mate issue in the campaign, and efforts
TO embarass him by such cheap plays as
are now being made by men and news
Custer weekly chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, S.D.) 1890-1931, 1905-09-16

papers which do not even claim to be
republican are certain to rebound to his
aid.
1t is interesting to note that after look
ing over the whole field, ex Senator
Pettigrew declared that in his Judgment
Congressman Martin would be the next
senator elected from South Dakota. and
that the next republican state conven-
tion would be controlled by the organi-
zation. The fight upon the organization
is already handicapped because no un-
clean administration can be found, and
fight upon an organization, simply be-
cause it is an organization, will not get
very far, because every school boy
knows that organization is just as neces.
sary in politics. as plan is necessary in
building a house or fighting battle.
As the Argus Leader has several times
said it is not SO much a question Of a
| machine as of whose machine it would
| be and in this choice the men who
have given clean and upright admins
| tration are not likely to be turned down
until they fail in this respect.-Argus-
Leader.

SO. Omaha 1--we Stock Market.

Special letter from Clay, Robinson &
Co., Union Stock Yards, South Omaha,
Sept. llth, 1905.
Cattle:-Supplies of cattle today at all
points are quite liberal, and the market
is generally quoted little lower on the
big bulk of killing steers. Last weeks
close was strong with the opening of the
week although trading was rather slow
vt times. Rainy weather and lateness
of trains has been a very bad feature
and there has been more or less of a
drag to the market. The good to choice
beef cattle are selling at S400 a. $3.50,
With the fair to good kinds around So, so
O. 1915. The COW market closed last
week about 10 a. l5c lower for the gen.
eral run. The market today is right at
dime lower than Friday close. Choice
heifers last week sold up to $3.50, while
the general supply of cows and heifers
are selling from $3.50 a. $500, with q
good to choice lot up around 1926.
There has been a good strong market
right along for the good heavy fleshy
dehorned steers for feeding purposes,
and these have brought steady to strong
prices. Last week The Diamond Cattle
Co, had a couple Of cars of $50 h. choice
dehorned feeders here that brought $3.50.
This is the highest price obtained so far
this season for cattle of this weight, al
though steers weighing 1900 lbs. have
brought the price. The good medium
and light weight cattle dropped about Is
"a 2Oc last week, but today with a very
fair demand prices are at least steady on
these classes while the heavy and more
desirable kinds are strong. Good heavy
cattle are quotable at $500 "a $3.50 fair
to good 1915 o. $500; good light and
medium weights $500 "a 1915; fair to
good 1926 G1 $3.50.

seems strange that the trees ever sue
ceeded in growing so well as they did
previous to the existence Of the Forest
Reserve unless the red squirrels have
become more and more depraved and
bloodthirsty since then; one might even
feel inclined to reason thus: Squirrels
there have always been since the forest
first grew, and unless we can suppose
that they are a new creation, bugs have
been in existence, but bugs have not
been able to damage the timber to any
extent till the Forest Reserve was estab.
lished. Let us then kill off the Forest
Rangers There are only fourteen of them
and Captain Seth Bullock and we shall
get back to our previous condition as
when the forest was thriving But the
Forestry people say it is the red squir-
rels, and the poor squirrels cannot tell
their side of the story.
1t must in fairness b9 conceded that
in the Reserve the forest rangers have
done much to prevent the outbreak and
spread of forest fires, and their warnings
nailed on the trees have undoubtedly
caused careless campers to take better
care of their camp fires but it is within
our own observation that the eappearance
Of the Forest Reserve Bug, and many
people are beginning to wonder if the
connection between the two was not
something more than mere coinci-
dence, and are thinking that after all the
timber fires may have had their use in
the destruction of harmful insects.
1t is sufficiently clear that the pines
could stand the attacks of forest fires
without experiencing any such sweep
ing destruction as we now see taking
place, for forest fires occurred in the
Hills long before the white man ever
saw them and many of the trees carry
dence of series of fires at different times
for the last $50 years and more, and the
marks of forest fires have been found in
fossil wood that show that forest fires
occurred long before man came on the
earth. These facts seem to show that
the pines could stand an occasional fire
and thrive in spite of them.
The forest fires that we have been ac-
quainted with here have been mainly
ground fires, but the changed conditions
since the last few years now threaten
fire Of a more serious character than
any ever yet seen in the Hills. Thous-
ands Of acres of dead trees with their
needles still on their limbs, now await
the first little blaze that catches into
their tops to start a fire that would be
entirely beyond human control, and
such fire sweeping through the tops of
the trees will take with it the living
trees as well as those that are dry. Green
pine age.requres hot fire to start it
into blaze, but given that, the green
pine needles will blaze up like dry straw,
this is the danger that now exists and
is becoming daily more threatening with
the increasing area Of dead timber, and
it is danger that ranchmen whose
buildings are anywhere near the timber
will do well to heed. After this fire or
series of fires has occurred the question
what good has the establishment of the
Forest Reserve done for the timber can
again be asked with still sharper point.
Respectfully yours,
HARRY WAY.
