Of Interest to Farmers
Denaturized Alcohol Again.

DenaturizeG Alcohol Again.
We explained the new law gov
erning denaturized alcohol very
thoroughly when the bill was pass
ed; but many requests are coming
to us now for information. As we
supposed, every farmer expected to
become a manufacturer That is
impossible. Speaking of the steps
be is taking to ascertain how the
new law can be made of value to
farmers. the Secretary OF Agricul-
ture has made a statement. We
all know from what denaturated al
cohol can be made. The results of
the investigation will be watched
with interest.
The Secretary's Statement.
Secretary Wilson says: "In my
opinion this Investigation should be
thorough and include study of the
potatoes grown in states where po-
tatoes grow abundantly, a study of
the sweet potato and the yam. the
cassava and the coontie of the south
the study of the sorghum plant,
study of the stalks of the Indian
corn and a study of the possibilities
of producing alcohol direct from the
sugar beets of California, Michigan
and other parts of the country where
sugar beets grow abundantly."
Buy Farm Lands.
The American Farmer has often
been criticised for doggedly pre-
ferring the system of extensive to
that of intensive culture. The large
farmers, those with thousands of
acres, are making money. They
bought immense tracts when they
were cheap, and are reaping the
benefit of wise investments. They
we're wiser than the croakers.
When society is in progressive state.
with industry expanding and popu-
lation growing, the owner of land
may get rich, though he never turn
furrow or build shanty. Time
is on his side and works for him
with unceasing industry.
A Course of Evolution.
The farmer has realized it would
seem, that he is in the course of
evolution; that he must make his
money as the conditions change.
After he has reaped his profit on
land and on extensive, though per.
haps very wdsteful, cultivation, he
will evolve into intensive cul tiyation.
The Western farmer is just reaching
this intensive stage. At this point
in his overturning he must realize
that intensive culture means higher
land values, and by combining
scientific farming with common
sense land speculation he has the

Would Money" Buy Them?
If the Ooys aud girls on the farm
always received as much care and
consideration as the blooded stock
there would be small disposition to
leave the farm, and there would be

That Vine less Potato!
A Man from Montana offered tn e
farmer a vineless potato. but it
must be grown from ''secret COM
pound" W. D. Darst was his
name. He obtained a patent and
sold his compound at high price.
The Vineless Potato Company was
organized in Illinois. The litera-
tuae reads most encouragingly.

weeks ago, But heartless chemists

The Fool Abroad.
1t is amazing how so Transparent t
an absnrdity as a vineless potato
grown in sawdust could succeed in
separating the hard-Eeaded farmer
from his hard -earLed money. Is
our Government so paternal that
men cease to think for themselves!
Our system of education is at fault.
We hatch our ftols every day, and
as long as Mr.. Darst makes his
compound" so long will he find
buyers. How greedy we are to get
something for nothing.
Women in Agriculture.
The question OF how to educate
the daughters of farmers for the
real duties of life have been solved,
they think, by the Government of
Belgium. Free schools have been
esta blished Ia different sections for

JUDGE GABBERT is no doubt the
greatest living exponent OF the
adjustable brand of politics ever
seen out in this country and we
old hassayampers do not know
how to size him up. Twelve years
ago he was lifted out of obscurity
by being elected to the supreme
bench on old man Waite's Pop
ticket, which everybody looked
upon as having no more show than
a jackrabbit tagging a bulldog.
Six years ago he crawled in under
the tent by getting onto Bunty
Orman's Democratic ticket and

him Bill Evans has taken him up
as a good thing for the corpora
tions.-Field and Farm.

A TERRIBLE CONFESSION.

Bells orderly during the late
Cripple Creek war, has made an
affidavit charging some OF the
most prominent men IN the sta'e
with crimes, which it true, shoulo
stretch their necks. He gives
names, dates and details with a
shocking accuracy, alleges that
thew caused the loss OF nearly
fifty lives, all in a desperate effort
to break the strike. 1t is entirely
too serious a matter to pass over
lightly. We can hardly credit it
that the men named could do the
things they are charged with'
still it is just as liable to be the
case as for Meyer, Haywood and
Pettibone to do the things that
have been charged in the Orchard
confession.
1t is asserted that two other
corroborative affidavits will be
published in the immediate future
more fully supporting the charges
contained in the Baldwin con-
fession. If this shall prove true
we submit that the parties SO
charged ought to be arrested and
prosecuted, and a most earnest
effort made to secure a convlc-
ton. The blood of the murdered
men calls for restitution.
1t will be remembered that at
the time of the commission OF
the principal crime, the blowing
up of the Independence depot,
the sheriff was forced to resign.
He had stated that if left alone
he would apprehend the guilty
parties in short order. 1t is quite
possible that his statement led to
his enforced resignation. From
number of surrounding circum-
stances we must confess that there
is at least reasonable Presump-
ton of guilt that calls for rigid
investigation. We do not think
it would be right to arrest and con-
fine these men for long time
without trial as they have done to
others, but we should like to see
each man named by Orderly
Baldwin arrested and given
speedy and fair trial for his lite
and liberty. If they are guilty
they should be hung same as other
blood stained scoundrels, that
society may be protected. If
innocent they can probably estab-
lish the fact as Meyer and Hay
wood are expected to.
Mr.. Carleton is one OF the men
charged with plotting murder. He
once fixed jury in Cripple Creek
to bring in false and slanderous
verdict against his wife. Judge
Theron Stevens caught him in the
act and protected the injured wo-
man from his dastardly crime.
For this he has never forgiven
Stevens. A man who will fix
Jury under such circumstances is
capable of any crime. Carleton S
name in the pool is what we would
call constructive evidence OF
the guilt of all. If anyone objects
to our taking this position we will
say that we have better right to
express that opinion than the Su'
preme court had to establish
constructive contempt" as an
offense under our laws.

breadth of your attainments' your
leadership and your courage.
We who have donned the armor
of strife, we who know the piercing
anguish of liberty in Distress We
speaking not tor the living alone
but for the countless numbers OF
our ranks from Bunker hill to
where the blades OF the grave
grass quiver, whose silent lips are
more eloquent than the slIvery
tongue of the orator, clasp hands
with you across the chasm OF
eternity and in solemn awe utter
protest against the blasPhemous
lie that "the dollar is all-Power-
full"
You who, surrounded by the
fierce fires of greed, stood like a
rock of Gibraltar with the torch
OF American ideality held like a
beacon light of glory, you have
tasted with us sorrow and remorse
at our country's abandon, and with
us have felt the resistless passion
of Justice. Welcome home. We
who are the symbol of force
rough hewn and battle-scarred
though we are-weep with you al
the misuse of the sword and recoil
at the awful carnage and desola-
ton it has wrought throughout the
world.
The martial strains of war have
no music for the heroes OF re-
public when called to arms against
an infant republic in distress. A
nations strength does not consist
in engines of blood and carnage,
for her military and naval sPlen-
dor may be the cause of her souls
destruction. The flag, if planted
it must be on foreign soil, should
be loved and honored through the
arts of trade, and not hated and
despised as it is now. We vel
come tfe day when privilege, the
cause of war, shall be abolished.
Life is earnest, life IS real, to
those who have barred their breasts
to leaden hail to establish free
institutions. The ballot box is
not game of chance. a plaything
for the satisfaction of ambition,
but it is the holiest expression OF
mans achievements. Although
at times it may seem to be lost, an
awakened conscience gives hopes
of brighter day as more sacred
obligation is shown to perpetuate
the victories won on so many
battlefelds.
Hoary and bent, we who re-
sponded to our country's call
when Liberty's form stood in
view, are about to pass from
earth's scenes of strife. Although
the world may run red with blood,
we will be at rest. No longer will
the bugle call awaken us to action.
but so long as a patriotic impulse
animates our breasts our last
hearts throb will be a protest
against that whitening lie, passing
current with SO many of our youth
that the dollar and not the man is
the end sought. We have seen
the soil of America crimson with
the blood of the flower of America
youth, and our faith in just God
will not permit us to say that II
was spilled in vain.
Although gold may seem tc
triumph for time, the soul o'
justice is yet the mightiest force
IN the world, for amid the lower
ing gloom a rift of dawn illumine:
