hand work would pay better than any
other work they could do.

The gospel Of grass is a good gospel
to study. There can be no erosion Of
the soil or depletion of soil fertility
where grass grows. The growing Of
grass means the feeding Of it, and this
means butter, cheese, milk, meats, and
these mean profitable agriculture. "All
flesh Is grass" is the text Of this gospel,
and wherever It is preached and prac-
ticed there will be found good farming
and prosperity.

pushes them for baby beef for the next

able to make money at It, doing 80

The centralized creamery working
with cream gathered from wide area

Is doing a splendid work in many Sec
tons Of the country, especially In those
parts where II was impossible to de-
velop the dairy business sufficiently to
justify the building and running OF a
home creamery. This new method has
made possible the taking up Of the
dairy business In almost any locality
by any man, the equipment needed be-
ing only the cows and a farm separa-
tor, with local cash market for all
the cream he can produce Many a
man is now being put on his financial

cry exists It should receive the loyal
support Of every man In the commu-

1t is never very hard times on that
farm where there is some sort Of prod
uce ready to turn of every month In
the year, such as cream, eggs, butter,
pork, fruit, honey, saying nothing Of
the grain crops and fat steers, and
where such crops are produced it is
also true that the soil can never get
very badly impoverished. An eighty
acre farm run on these lines will re-
turn the owner more net profit one
year with another than quarter Sec
ton carried on as 80 many are.

Guilty with his employer and was dis
charged. He then turned round and
sued his employer for over time, claim
ing some SEQ for work done after what
are called regulation working hours.

ruling on the question of whether there
are any legal limits to the number Of
hours work which may be extorted
from the farm hand.

can people are proud Of their army
and navy. They know that for its
size it is the most efficient in all
the world. They do not think it
is too large. They are aware that
the personnel Of the same, both
officers and men are incomparably
superior to any other in existence.
They want and demand that it
shall be the best paid, best fed,
best armed and best uniformed
army and navy In all the world, and
any necessary expenditure to bring
about this result will not be re-
garded as extravaganza by the
citizens of the United States. The
old veterans who marched with
Sherman to the sea, and those
whose boys fought in the Philli-
pines, do not think SIC month too
much to pay man to stand up and
be shot at 1t is rot to talk about
our army being a menace to our
liberties. Everybody that knows
anything knows that our army,
both volunteer and regular, to-
gether with our navy, is, and ever
has been, the guardian of American
freedom. All men of sense know
that there never was a youth that
donned a uniform and rendered his
country service in time of war or
peace but that such service better
fitted him for the duties Of citizen
ship. Show me man wearing a
G. A. Il. button or an emblem of
Spanish War service, and l will
show you a man who will never
advocate oppression or join a
society of Anarchists; on the other
hand this man is not only ready
and willing but anxious to fight
tyranny in any form it may present
itself and he knows how to fight
because he has been taught in an
excellent school. Nothing is so
conductive of peace as to have lot
of men handy who know how to
fight. Bad big boys don't trouble
the school master who knows how
to use his fists.

SHOULD SALARIES BE RAISED?

SHOULD SALARIES BE RAISED?
The biennial grist for the increase
of salaries of district judges and
county officers have made their APP
pearance in the legislature, accom-
panied by bills to increase the
length of the terms of various Of
ficials. 1t seems more than passing
strange to us that they should be
even considered. The reason why
nine men out of ten become candi-
dates for office is because they think
the salary of the same will pay them
better than the business they are
engaged in. 1t is ridiculously alb
surd to think that men would blow
in their time and money to secure
a position if it meant a financial
loss to them. There are not ten
district judges in the state that
could earn more in the practice of
law than they are receiving as
judges. If they can we are glad to
inform them that they can resign
in two minutes after they read this
article. If a man is elected to a
county Office and he can make more
money in business of any kind he
can resign. A man can't be forced
to hold an Office a minute longer
than he desires. If a public man
fasthfully and conscientiously per-
forms the duties of his office he is
almost universally reelected, if he
don't his term cannot be made too
short for the good of the public.
These agitations for increase of
salary and frightening of terms are
never begun until after election.
No man dare test the temper of the
public by announcing that as soon
as he is elected to any position he
will ask for an increase of salary
and an extension of his term. No
man runs for an office without he
knows what compensation he will
receive and how long he will be
called on to serve. No one but the
officials themselves and their special
friends and beneiciaries are asking
for this legislation. No body of
tax payers is demanding it. The
legislature should turn all such de-
mands down hard and sudden and
devote their time and attention to
enacting legislation their constitu-
ents, the man who elected them,
and who pay the salaries want.
Every minute they spend discussion
and voting on these measures is
time spent in discussing measures
that ninety-fve per cent of their
constituents do not want or believe
in.

BLEEDING RUSSIA.

messed again. Distress, penury
and almost starvation existed among
the working men. Their condition
became unbearable and strike re-
suited. 1t was simply a strike for
the right to live. A Greek priest,
the idol of the working classes, was
the head and front of the move
ment. He exhorted his followers
to loyalty to the "Little Father" as
the Gar is known among the Rus
sian people and to peaceful methods.
He assured them that Russia's
mighty and absolute ruler would
grant them justice upon petition.
A petition was prepared and par
tial promise was made by the Gar
to receive the same. A mighty
multitude of workers assembled to
present the petition. AS evidence
of their good faith they marched up
to the gates with their wives beside
them and leading their little child
rem by the hand. They were head
ed by the Man God clad in the vest
merts of his holy Office and hold
ing aloft golden crucifix as en-
blem of loyalty to the church, the
Gar and the government.
The Gar did not meet them but
they were greeted by regiments of
soldiers with the cruel Grand Duke
Vladimir at their head. By his
command the brutal soldiery opened
fire with ball cartridge on the
crowded multitude of helpless I'M
armed men, women and children.
Bearded cossacks charged the teem-
ing crowd slashing with their
sabers and flashing the defenseless
people with singing whips, The
snow was crimsoned with the blood
of the innocent. We believe that
God and Justice still rule and reign
over the destinies of men. We be-
lieve that the innocent blood shed
on that fatal day will seep and sap
under the foundations of the pal
aces and strongholds of Russian alb
solutism and they will come crumb-
ling down about the ears of Russian
aristocracy and Russian autocrats.
The opening chapters in the history
of the freedom of the Russian peo-
pie have been written in the blood

illustrated by pictures of Russian
tyrants hanging on gibbets erected
