ALAS! THE DEMOGOG.

4 democratic newspaper makes the
pertinent point that, in order to bring
about the many good things which
that party has promised in its state
platform, the people must vote for
the straight Alinot ticket: that it is
useless to elect Burke for governor
unless he is given a board of equai-
cation which will enable him to put
Jim Hill out of business.
Thoughtful people need not be told
that this is simply an appeal to pre-
JUDGE. Demasogs may be relied upon
to indulge in arguments of this char
acter. 1t is their habit to do so. Rail
road taxation in this state is quite
up to the rates on other property. es-
pecially upon real estate. The rate
has been advanced from time to time.
always by a republican administra-
ton. and it will be advanced in the
future along conservative and rational
lines.
The democratic insinuation that re-
publican administrations have been
subservient to the railroads, fixing
railway taxation to suit these corpor-
ations, has no foundation in fact. The
truth is that the railroad attorneys
who have appeared before the board of
equalization have met with repeated
disappOintments, and the boards have
reached their decisions in advancing
rates with a calm determination to
deal justly by all interests.
What the democratic managers
would seem TO have the people under
stand is that if their party were placed
in power they would proceed to fix
a tax upon the railroads in excess of
the rate upon other property. That
they would do nothing of the kind.
when they came face to face with
responsibility, need not be argued.
Their present pretense to the contrary
is manifestly for campaign effect.
The republican party has never
stunned responsibility. 1t has ever
been ready to face the issue, and The
Evening Times does not doubt that
Gov. Sarles. whose election is as
sured beyond all doubt, will continue
to perform his duty like the methodi-
cal business man that he is regardless
OF the partisan clap-trap of the oppo-
sition.

DECLINES TO ANSWER.

A representative Of The Evening
Times called upon Chairman Bendeke
yesterday and asked him if there was
any truth in the report that the coun-
ty republican organization intended to
vote and advise others to vote against
one of the prominent candidates on
the republican state ticket. Mr..
Bendeke appeared to be somewhat
annoyed with the question and after
expressing the view that what he
termed the old gang" were trying
to make trouble he declined to an
swer.
The Evening Times heard the rumor
last Friday and it came from source
that appeared to be reliable. The
matter appearing to be of such con-
sequence as to require an explain
alton The Evening Times commented
upon it editorially on Saturday, ex-
pressing doubt as to it's correctness.
1t went further and gave the chair
man of the republican county commit
tee chance to deny it, but he de-
clines to do so.
His refusal to set the committee
right on the subject is no fault of
ours, and the incident is now in the
keeping of the republican voters of
the state.

In few years the work OF the
farmers will not be finished until the
crop is finally disposed of at the
grain terminals. They will be the
ones who will profit by the handling
of the crops and not the SPECTATORS

FARMERS BUSINESS LIFE.

The development of the business
life of the farmers other than the
growing of wheat and fax and oats,
Is probably more advanced in Ramsey
county than in any other part of the
state. This is not because the farmers
there are more competent to handle
other lines of business than that of
immediate farming, but because they
were compelled to adopt the plan of
helping themselves out of sheer neces-
sity.
A few years ago the farmers living
in the territory now traversed by
the Farmers railroad were compelled
to wagon their grain twenty miles
and more to market They owned
some of the finest land in the state
but they could do but little in the
way of grain raising because the cost
or marketing practically left the far
mer in debt on his crop. But they
were men of resources, and after re-
peated efforts to induce President Hill
to build branch line through the
country without avail, they concluded
they would build it themselves.
The story of that work is one of the
interesting things in the history of
the state. They succeeded IN build-
ing and equipping line nearly twen-
ty-nve miles long, and made it sue
cess. Then came the idea of going
farther in the business which had al
ways been supposed to belong to the
class designated as the business men.
Practically the same farmers who
mad put their money into the railroad
and had made it pay, built line of
elevators along the road and its ex-
tension and handled nearly all the
crop raised by themselves last year.

About the same time that the plan
OF erecting the line of elevators be-
gan to assume tangible shape, another
one was developed 1t was the erec-
ton of -four mill at Devils Lake
The money was subscribed by farmers
and the work of building and eauip-
ping the plant was done entirely by
them. When it was finished, experts

In the northwest, and now its product
is finding its way into nearly every
town in the state. and as far east as
Wisconsin the trade is many times
larger than it was predicted by the
opponents Of the enterprise that it
would ever be in the home town.
All this shows conclusively that the
farmers of the northwest are not only
able to manage the farm and to con-
vert the elements of the soil into
