Hard WorIslnr senators.

According to Senator W. Murray Crane
Of Massachusetts,. Tie lot Of the average
United States Senator is mot a happy
one. but is full OF worriment and long
hours OF labor Before he went to Wash
ington, he says, he was informed that he
would find the senatorship can easy job, %
which would leave him ample time for
spending at least two days each week at
his Massachusetts, home, looking after
his private business affairs. But he has
not found this 10 be the condition. 81
have been able to get home only once in
the last three months" he says, "and
have been working eighteen hours every
day Of the week, and sometimes twenty
Really, this overtaxed Senator should
have himself placed under the benehcent
operations Of the national Eight-hour law.
Under that law the humbest laborer in the
employ Of the government may be re-
quired TO work only eight houn a day.
Why should a United States Senator be
compelled to work eighteen and twenty ?
Does not this condition suggest the pro-
priety of organizing a Senators Union,
for the purpose Of restricting legislative
production and preventing any Senator
working more than the eight hours
which the lay establishes as the length Of
the governments workday
But, however hard may be tho lot Of
the Massachusetts Senator, It is a safe
wager that he will not voluntarily re-
linquish IT, His present term win expire
on March Sd, 1907 and only death or
elevation 10 some place Of higher official
honor win prevent bis serving to the last
hour More than that, he will do every
thing in his power to secure a second
term That is the way of the average
Senator. He may complain about the
bitterness Of his lot; Il may even mean
obnoxious drudgery. But he holds on to
Il most tenaciously and he is Of that class
Of placeholders of whom It may with un-
shaken truth be said: "Few die and
none resign"

willing to go into caucus and agree to
majority rule" Il sagely observes, "the

that it would be useless to attempt to
secure such q pledge TO abide by the re-
suit Of the caucus. For this scheme
which State Senator Conner has already
launched, although he would have the
Republican members sworn to abide by
the caucus choice, would simply mean
the election of Addicks.

SPLIT-LOG DRAG
DOES GOOD WORK
NEW MACHINE USED ON THE
STREETS THIS WEEK.
Street Commissioner Ryan is well
Pleased with its Work, and the
New Machine has been the Object
OF mucn Favorable comment,

Street Commissioner Ryan has been
able to use his new King log drag
much of the time this week, and it's
good work on the street is already a
matter Of much favorable comment.
The machine is built from two heavy
oak planks about nine feet long. The
front plank is shod with iron. The
draft is so arranged that the drag can
be drawn at about any angle. Street
Commissioner Ryan is at present
using it at an angle of about 45 de-
grees, SO that it both smooths off the
street and also carries the dirt to the
center of the road.
The machine is not expected to
make the street equal to paved streets
all at once, but the idea is that it
should be used after every rain to
Morris tribune., 1906-05-05

make the streets round and hard, and
then after the streets are in good
shape, it should be used after every
rain to keep them good.
The object of using the drag after q
rain is not only that the earth can be-
better moved when it is soft,
but also because the packing of the
earth while it is wet and allowing tito
be later baked by the sun, is the
making use on large scale of much
the same methods by while bricks
and earthenWare are made.
Every Farmer Should Have One.
Now that the King log drag has de-
monstrated It's usefulness, every
farmer in Stevens county should
make one, and run over the road
from his own gate to his neighbours
gate after every rain. A half hours
work after every rain will give Stew
ems county excellent roads. Who
will start the crusade?
Morris tribune., 1906-05-05
Worth Remembering.

There are three entirely different
kinds of ingredients used in making
the three different varieties of baking
powders on the market .viz:-O
Mineral-Acid or Alum, (2) Bone-Aeid
or Phosphate, and 60 Cream of Tartar
made from grapes. It is important,
from the standpoint of health, to know
something about these Ingredients
and which kind is used in your baking
powder.
CD MINERAL-Ac or Alum, is
made from kind of clay. This is
mixed with diluted oil of vitriol and
from this solution product. obtained
which is alum. Alum is cheap; costs
about two cents a pound. and baking
powder made with this Mineral Acid
sells from 10 to % cents, a pound.
(2) BoNE-AcID, or Phosphate, is
the basis of phosphate baking powders
and the process is fully described in
the patents issued to a large manu-
farturer of phosphate powder. The
U. s. Patent Office Report gives a full
and exact description, but the follow
ing extract is enough:
"Burned bones, after being ground,
are put into freshly diluted oil of
vitriol and with continual stirring and
in the following proportion etc.
From this Bone Acid phosphate
baking powders are made; such
powders sell from 20 to 80 cents a
pound.
90 CREAM OF TARTER exists in all
ripe grapes, and flows with the juice
from the press in the manufacture of
wine. After the wine is drawn off the
tartar is scraped from the cast, boiled
with water, and crystals of Cream of
Tartar, white and very pure, separate
and are collected. It differs in no re-
spect from the form in which it origin
ally existed in the grape. Cream of
Tarter, then, while the most expen-
sive, is the only ingredient that should
be used in baking powder to act
upon the soda, as it's wholesomeness
is beyond question. Cream of Tartar
baking powders sell at about 40 to 80
cents a pound.
Such are the facts, and every one,
careful of the health of the family,
should remember this rule: Baking
powders selling from 10 to 25 cents
pound of Mineral Acids; those selling
from 20 to 80 cents of Bone Acid; and
and those from 40 to so cents of Cream
of Tartar made from grapes.

ment. In those old times it was
customary for the clergy to drink
intoxicants. Now a minister who
drank them could not be allowed to
stay long in his parish. The church
member no longer thinks rum and
piety will mix. All kinds of churches
condemn the liquor traffic. Father
Matthew societies, and good Templars,

Paul said "save yourselves from
this crooked generation" We are
crooked enough but not so crooked
as we have been, as others have been,
as others are. Contrast our political
conditions with what it was in the
time of the civil war, with the state of
Russia now, with France in the time
of Napoleon third, with Turkey of to-
day. Our men in public life are better
than fifty years ago, and in contrast
with the Machivellian dislomacy of
Europe the open truth of John Hay
and of Theodore Roosevelt shines out
as the most successful diplomacy in
the world. Our age shows black
spots more plainly because it is
whittier age. But violence and war
are being hushed by the Hagues parli-
ment of nations, and the federation of
the world.

| The CREAMERY
SHUTS DOWN
POOR QUALITY OF CREAM Is
THE CAUSE.
Poor Cream flakes Poor Butter, and
The Result Was that the Cream
cry Lost Honey, and r1ust Have
New Machinery to Handle the
Poor Cream.

On Tuesday evining, the Morris
creamery was shut down. It came as
a surprise to many who noted with
pleasure the effort that was being
made to make the creamery a success.
For some time past the butter
turned out at the creamery has not
been of first grade-that is, "Western
Extra as it is called. This was due
principally to the fact would not and
did not take proper care of the cream.
| In order to run the creamery sue
cessfully, and pay the prices that
were paid, it was necessary that the
butter turned out should grade Eek
trap. After thoro investigation it
was decided that the only way this
could be done was to put in new
vat and add some new coils for cool
ing the cream to the equipment at
the creamery. This involved an ex-
pense of about $3.50 to 5000.
Another cause was that, because OF
the butter not reaching grade, it has
not commanded ready market, with
the result that most of the output is
unsold, thus tying up most of the
money of the association. This, of
| course, necessitated the procuring of
further funds to purchase cream I'M
| til the butter could be sold, and also
for putting in the needed equipment
before referred to. The amount re-
CURED was about $3.50. The board
could see no way of raising this
amount and as it was impossible to
run without it, they had to close the
doors-tho from the reluctance with
which the step was taken, it was very
evident that they deemed it last re-
sort.
The creamery will now be rented
or sold-if parties are found who will
handle it. Ell. T. Sundergaard, of
Litchfeld, creamery Inspector for
this district, and Mr.. Jensen, of Ben
son, were here Wednesday, but were
not able to close deal with the board.
They wished to rent for four years.
In this connection, it may be both
interesting and profitable to add the
following, gathered from converse
ton with Mr.. Randall, the secretary,
and Mr.. Kading, the butter maker.
Very few of the farmers take the
proper care of their cream.
Creme mber this", said one, ''every
farmer who brought in fifty pounds of
poor cream helped to shut down the
creamery. Do not blame the board,
me-well-blame the cream. Last
month the W Gather was cool and most
of the patrons kept their cream and
brought it in but once week. No
man, or at least not one in 100, can

The ancient heather put the golden

The best thing about the "Good old

After a contrast of industrial

literature of ancient India, China,
Arabia, the low lived fables of Greek
and Roman gods and goddesses that

Christianity was to make new litera-

Shakespeare time the world has i'm

modern taste, and things so freely

world is being lifted up.
