A congressman was killed IN
Texas last week in a prohibition
fight. The report fails to state
whether the congressman was
trying to carry the county dry or
wet but the giving Of his life was
a high price to pay no matter
which side he was on.

The unfavorable seoson makes
it impossible to plant as much
cotton as was planted last year.
The acreage must of necessity be
cut down. There are those who
who will say that this reduction
was not of the faamers volition
but the work of Providence;
that the acreage would have been
increased but for the unpropitious
weather. Now, we believe that
those who went into an agree
ment to cut down their crop
meant what they said. In most
cases they were business men and
and realized the baneful effect of
overproduction. To relieve the
situation they organized for the
common good and would have
stood by their promices if the
season had been the best. Give
the farmer credit for sound
judgment, common sense and
honesty Of purpose. No class is
more entitled to it, and no class
manages its business more sue
c~essfully than does the farmer.
He gets more out of his surround
ings and opportunities than any
other set of business men.

The Nan Paterson jury failed
to agree again. One trouble
about the witnesses to the deed
is that they tell about seeing Son
Young shoot himself after the
trial is over rather than on the
stand in presence of the court
and jury. Such evidence counts
for nothing in favor of the de-
PENDANT.

FAVOR NEW QUARTERS
Unions Appear to Approve Proposed
Change Of Labor Headquarters. .

Sentiment in regard to the proposed
change Of labor headquarters is taking
concrete form, and it is predicted upon
all sides that the present agitation for
u location free entirely from saloon sur
roundings will result in the removal
sooner or later of all labor unions to a
new building. Interested persons have
been looking into the matter very thoro-
ly, and have gone so far as to make an
examination Of several plans submitted
by property owners or agents Of build
ings, which would be free from all of
the objections against present head
quarters. ..... ....
At building trades headquarters the
past week, the proposed new theater
building, projected by the international
Theatrical syndicate for Sixth street,
near Hennepin, next spring, was most
talked of. 1t was said that arrange

labor organization in Minneapolis could
be comfortably housed in this building
in quarters designed expressly for them.
