The niger sho needs DISTINGUISHING

Democratic primary system there's
not one OF them holding county office,
only one in the House of Represents

Congress. Therefore the people are
ADVANTAGEOUS to change these awful
conditions And they will rue the day

TO RIVAL MITCHELL
The Windy City Announces That It
Will Have a Corn Festival
Next Fall.
Next Fall.

Just think. of it! Chicago and
Mitchell rivals i'm the same class of
business for advertising the resources
of one Of its growing products.
The Chicago Commercial Associa-
tion announces that 1T will hold a
corn festival next fall that will
eclipse anything OF the kind ever
held in the middle west. Immense
premiums will be given for prize
corn, and the winner Of n bushel
of the best corr will be awarded a
prize of So. 1000. while other big prizes
will be rendered on other PROPOSE
tions.
Chicago has heard of Mitchell's
successful corn palaces, and what
part OF the United States hasn't,
and proposes to do a little corn ad
vertising itself. Well, it viii be a
grand good thing for Illinois, just
as 1T has been for south Dakota.
Now, if Chicago needs any informa-
tion in %the.making of her corn fes-
tival a success Mitchell will be
pleased to have its committee come
out and we will show it around and
give the members some pointers in
the corn palace business.
There will just be two big corn
palaces or festivals in the United
States this year-Mitchell and Chi
cago. Doesn't it sound rather big to
be classed with Chicago in an enter
prise of this character?
Here's a proposition for Chicago:
We like to be neighhorly and help our
friends along. If Chicago will send
one-half of her population out to the
Mitchell r. palace which opens
the week ~before--the Chicago festival,
we will agree to get half of the
population of Mitchell down Chiago
the week following our corn palace.
Come, Chicago, accept the PROPOSE
tion and we will guarantee that
when YOU come west you will see
things you never dreamed of in the
way of a corn palace.

The Obvious Purpose.

New York sun: What is obvious
in the hubbu5 is the determination
OF the democrats to put the president
in a hole, if asseveration and abuse
can do it. They deal in half truths
and assumptions and nothing is
more in evidence than their coaching
of Mr.. Tillman, lest by saying too
much the fat will be in the fire. Ii
they cannot make any political cap
ital out of the rate bill they are
bound to take a fall out of the presi-
dent. 1t is a game they have played
a long while without scoring and
they are losing at it again.

Rate Bill Compromises.

boston Transcript: Whether the
president has sssurrenderedi' in ac-
cepting the Allison amendment is
another and much larger question.
The final touches of the bill, as it
goes to HIM for signature, will throw
more light on the subject. But it
may be said without disrespect to
the president that he has always in
tended to accept that degree Of com-
promise which was necessary in the
final round up, provided he could
still obtain substantial results. He
is a great ..believer in the half loaf.
He once explained to a friend his
reason for a certain lack of definite
ness in his announced program by
saying that he hoped to avoid any
thing so specific as to prove an en-
barrassplent when it came time to
agree on the final terms. The presi-
dent has not wanted rates regulated
by law suit. He has preferred that
degrees OF court review, conform
ing to the constitution, which would
still leave AN administrative body to
carry out this work in accordance
with legislative standards, with the
courts to pass on its keeping within
its proper province. Evidence ac-
cumulates that the president has
secured substantial results, although
not his entire program.

ALL0TTED LANDS ARE DRY

Sioux Falls, May 2l.-The United

to imprisonment for a period Of sixty

United Sta es court was without
Jurisdiction
The decision Of the supremefcourt
In this case is of Importance to the
federal authorities of every state in
which Indians have taken their all
l0tments of lana. Ever since tile
Brewer decision, holding that it was
not a violation of the federal stat
utes for Indians who have. taken
their allotments to purchase liquor,
there has been uncertainty, as to
whether or not the federal courts
had authority to regard the land
Included in allotments the same as
the regular Indian reservations.
notwithstanding the Brewer de-
cfsion there has never been any
question about the government hav-
ing authority to arrest and prose

take LIQUOR to the regular Indian
reservations, but whether tie land

Indians Should be treated the same
as the regular reservations has been

The decision of the United States

THE THRIVING WEST
Eastern People are Now Obliged to
Sit up and Take Notice of
tbs Great West

New York Mail There was a time
when the east had to s'carry'' the
west. Everything out there was
done on borrowed money money
borrowed from the east. Now the
west pretty nearly carries the east.
1t feeds us, and buys u goods.
1t IS in the west that the founda-
ton values are produced. Eastern
agriculture. for instance. is a local.
subsidiary, mere side-dish agricul-
ture. The piece de resistance on
every table comes from the west.
The west supplies not only the meat
and the bread, but generally the po-
tatoes. The celery. the Brussels
sprouts and the strawberries may
come from the east, hut the substan-
tlals are from the prairies.
The other day Judge w. Ell. Moore.
returning from an inspection trip
over the Rock Island and Frisco
railroad systems, said:
"a thing that struck me in the
southwest is that the farming is
scientific. The people find out just
what the soil will produce before
they plant it,. The governm ent and
the railroads lave done a splendid
work for that country in placing the
farming on this basis. Out IN west
Kansas and western Nebraska they
are raisi lg on what were the semi
arid lands, two crops of alfalfa, and
are making fairly successful efforts
in wheat culture Only a few years
ago land in that region sold at ST.. so
an acre. The same lands now sell
from $40 to $40 an acre. That speaks
for ITSELF
1t is,in the west that scientific
farming, producing an increased
yield by thorough Guilt Walton, is now
getting in its work. BY means OF it.
grazing land is going into agricul-
tu1e all over the semi-arid west.
Year by year Texas, where all public
land is a state. not United States
land, ANNUALLY auctions off to the
highest bidder hundreds of thousands
of acres upon which grazing leases
have run out. The central and west
ern parts of Kansas and Nebraska,
which we're once held to be good
only for stock-raising purposes, are
now producing millions Of bushels
OF Wheat. Alfalfa, with two to five
crops a year, has doubled the pro-
ducing power OF much land. Eek
hausted'' farms are being converted,
by scientific tillage, into highly pro-
duotive territory.
All this points toward a vista of
intelligent prosperity which is far
beyond anything that the county
has yet realized The time will yet
come when this ave Of agriculture
Improvement will roll back over east
ern hills and meadows, BUT just now
it is the boundless west which en-
joys the Midas touch.
