ATTEMPTED MuTlNY.
Ships Crew Got Gay But the Captain
Had Nerve.

j + 36F = z Ia a. Y
Seattle, Dec. 21-Thirty Of the crew
of the overdue steamship Pennsylvania
mutinied on the night of Dec. ID and
it was owing solely to the stern COM
mand Of Mai. J.. w. Blaine that the
mutiny was quelled
When nearing Catella, Captain
Blaine ordered one man to do a triv-
ial piece of work, The sailor refused.
Captain Blaine then put him IN irons
and locked him below. At the time
terrific gale was blowing which made
it difficult for the master and pilot to
remain on the bridge. Suddenly the
crew came to the foot of the bridge In
a body. There were between thirty
and forty of them. The men demanded
the release of their companion. Blaine
faced them alone and ordered them
back to their posts. Just at this time
the pilot cried out:
Breakers ahead!"
The captain returned to the bridge
The crew finally went aft.
Armed guards were placed over the
100000 treasure and officers with re-
volvers patroIled the deck. The pas
sengeFs went tb the captain and of
fered assistance, either against the
men or to aid In the operation of the
vessel. The men, however. did not
make any more demonstration.

ON INDEPENDENT GRAIN
20. G. Major Explafns Why He Feels
Sore Over The Tri- State
convsntion Matter.

II regret to see the attempt to de-
fend the managers of the Tri-State
Grain Growers convention for refus-
ing to allow time during the coming
convention for the discussion of the
subject of Marketing Grain says o.
G.. Major.
AT the recent drainage convention,
President Worst stated that the mama
gers of the Tri- State Grain Growers
convention would be glad to give
time for the discussion of subjects
Of interest to farmers and grain grow
ersa Is there subject of more Inn
portance to farmers than the market
ing of their grain7f
"A committee was appointed at our.
meeting in Fargo to arrange for a lit
tie time to discuss this subject before
the grain growers convention. We
were told by Mayor johnson that we
could not have any time and felt that
he vas a little arbitrary In the mat
ters 1t is difficult for US to arrange
for an independent meeting for the
reason that we cannot learn what
evenings will be vacant during the,
convention.
The impression is given by Mayor
Johnson that we are making an at
tempt to exploit a private enterprise
before the convention. This is not
true. We are making an effort to
form an organization of farmers who
ship their own grain and farmers
elevator associations for the purpose
of keeping control of our grain, by
having our own terminal facilities, so
that we can sell the wheat we raise to
the miller and exporter and not have
1t mixed and graded down as it is at
present with low grade wheat that Is
not raised in North Dakota.
We are making an effort also to
create what sentiment we can against
the bucket shop This is a private
enterprise that is not needed In North
Dakota and has been the ruin of more
of our farmers than any other one
thing.
I'VE, perhaps, would feel comewhat
differently about this matter if it were
not true that our former efforts to
get before the grain growers conven-
tion had been turned down. We did,
get little time last year by reason of
the fact that the convention voted two
years ago that we be given half
days time at the next convention.
The managers of the convention have
always turned us down, but. the con-
vention itself voted almost unanim-
ously two years ago that we be given
a half days time. We neglected to
bring such motion before the con-
vention last year, so that we are
turned down by the managers of this
years conventions"

YOUNG PELL is SUED.
Namesake Of Roosevelt Was Attentive

New York, Dec 21-If the rlelodra-
matte utterances Of Miss Alma Robert,
the former concert singer, are rroven,
Theo. Roosevelt Pell. 20, whom she is
suing for breach of promise, WAS an
ardent wooer.
Miss Robert declares that the
|namesake and distant relative of
the president pursued Ter for two
years, penned her torrid love epis-
tiles, threatened to commit suicide in
the event of their being separated,

ling" "little lump of gold,' Sweetheart

Three years ago fashionable society
in New York and Philadolphia St-
tended the wedding of Soung Pe'll and
Miss Florence Cramp, heiress tp the
millions of the famous shipbuilding
family.
When the sensational suit was
brought by Miss Robert, S. Osgood
Pell, Teddy's brrther, said that
Teddy's only knowledge ef the
woman was gained when he took
her about town showing her prop

Cramp, his father iii law, advised
him to fight the woman and rrcve
her a blackmailer. Teddy says Miss
Robert looks 'tover 40.' That young
Lady claims only 25 years and modest
ly asserts that her friends cannot be-
lieve she is over 18.
She says: II guess Teddy will not
be so strong in his denlals when

CALL Of The WILD.

The truth Of the business is
that when the sun is at the sum-
mer solstice the ancient savage
awakes in man and Graves to 60
a-roaming. Old clothes and the
smell of earth make irresistible
appeal. He demands shining
spaces of sky, and free winds.
He cannot camp-except in rare
instances he can commute.
Every hour in the country is
precious, and Sunday, if not
rainy-the queen pearl Of all his
string. Sunday, when bells call
softly across the valleys, is indie
scribable. In the country it will
befall him to meet boy riders on
snow-white horses prancing
down winding roads; they may
be summer boarders, but if he
has the vein of poetry in him
w h ich no genuine commuter
should be without-he will re-
member certain Welsh fairy
tales, and let we'll enough alone.
And when evening dinner is
done, and he walks among cold
violet leaves by the roadside,
breathing a thousand fragrances,
and rejoicing in the robins twi-
light note; or visits some steep,
flowery hillside that has grown
dear to him, his heart is full of
gratitude.

THE HELP PROBLEM
Becoming More Serious each Year
And COnfrOntS the Entire
Country Alike.

The question of country people
getting help is certainly becom-
ing a most serious problem.
Some of the leading farmers in
Jessamine county are compelled
to do all of their own work, not
because good wages are not paid,
for one farmer said to a Journal
reporter: 81 pay my cook Sc per
week and my hired man $18 per
month and board, and still they
will not remain"
This is not only the case in
Kentucky and other Southern
States, but in the north as we'll.
Some time ago the writer met
a gentleman from Dayton, O., 60
ing 60 miles south of Louisville
to get a reliable cook, as he said
they were as equally diff
cult to get there as here. There
is plenty of idle land in Jessa-
mine county, and if farmers will
do so they can get a colony Of
Germans to come here and locate
and perhaps that to great ex-
tent will open a new avenue for
help. There is not a more relia-
BILE people in the world than the
Germans, besides they make good
citizens. This has been done in
other parts of the country and
has worked admirably. -Jessa-

WASHINGTON NOTES.

The able argument Of. Senator
Daniel against Government own
ership of railroads is being ex-
tensively circulated in Virginia
and is almost unanimously I'M
dorsed by Democrats. The South
seems to be solid against the
suggestion.
1t is expected that Senator
Bailey, of Texas. who left here
for New York yesterday, will
give out a statement in a few
days taking a strong position
against Capitalization and Gov
eminent ownership of public
utilities. In the opinion of the
distinguished Texas Senator the
Government has now a greal deal
more power than is good for it's
welfare and for the perpetuation
of Republican principles.

ed at once in various parts OF
the State, and he has not one
application for work.
Some of the demands for help
are exceedingly pressing. In
several counties men are wanted
for threshing machine crews in
order to take care of the wheat
crop. Barton county especially
is demanding men for this work.
From the reports that are coming
in a great many harvest hands
who focked to the State two
months ago have followed the
harvest to the north, while many
have gone to work on the farms
or have obtained employment in
construction work in the cities
and towns.
A week ago Mr.. Gerow had an
application from a man who
wanted to be a cook, but he got
a job the same day. To-day Mr..
Gerow received a letter from a
man in a hospital at Cairo, ILL.,,
saking for a job as Waterman,
but no laborers are to be secured.

A NICE POINT RAISED.

The Mexican Government has
asked the United States to sup
press a paper published in the
Spanish language in St. Louis,
which is, according to Mexican
authorities, a purveyor of Revo-
lutionary and anarchistic doc
trines. The paper circulates
chiefly in Mexico, where it is
giving the authorities some trou-
BILE.
If the publication be such as
the Mexican authorities claim, it
ought to be suppressed. But a
very delicate subject thereupon
arises. Might not anyother Gov
eminent have just as much right
as Mexico to protest against pa
pers published in United States?
American papers themselves are
not slow to condemn abuses in
other countries. If the Govern
ment there condemned sees fit to
protest to Washington might not
a despotic President interfere
with the liberty of the press?
We do not, we confess, take
kindly to the suppression of pa
pers of any kind unless a very
clear and strong case is made out
against them. President Diaz
and the Mexican Government de-
serve our very warmest friend
ship. We ought not suffer an
archistic or revolutionary papers
be published here in interest of
men pledged to Mexico's disrup-
ton. Buthe matter should be gone
into slowly and carefully. JUS
tice to our neighbors is not in
compatible with liberty of the
Press. Louisville Herald.

these columns but what he sale
was of such grave importance
that it is a good thing to harp up
on it. The preservation of the
soil, and not only it's preserva-
ton, but fertilization, is some
thing which concerns every in
dividual American to-day and
which involves the very life of
the nation. Instead of preserva-
ton or fertilization, Mr.. Hills
researches disclose that the soil
is undergoing deterioration. He
sounds the danger signal. Change
your methods of farming, he ex-
claims, in effect, and instead of
wearing out the earth, replenish
it; make it better; make durable
and more productive. Otherwise
the day will come when the land
will be barren and the prosperity
of which we hear so much to-day
will be unknown, for in it's place
will be poor crops and a struggle
for existence.
And how is the dark prospect
to be avoided? Simply by dis
carding slovenly farming meth
DDS and substituting system and
science. The soil should be in
the hands of farmers who farm
not only for the present genera
ton, but for posterity; who do
not take life out of land, but put
life into it; who persue the meth
DDS of science, and not the habits
of ignorance. And the only way
by which we are to have such
farmers is by training them.
Farmers should go to SC h DOL
to learn their profession, just
as a doctor or lawyer or
architect goes to school to learn
his. Technical education is as
needfull in the one case as in the
other. And since the nations
career, not the fortune of one
farmer merely, depends upon his
wOrk-since the economic cOndi-
tons of the country one hundred
years hence must be good or bad
accoding to good or bad treat
ment of the soil by the existing
generation subject is not a
personal, but a public one. 1t is
not one of private means. but one
of political economy. Therefore
it should be preached from the
housetops and cried in the streets:
Let the American farmer put
away the haphazard methods of
farming which impovish the soil
and adopt the scientific methods
which enrich it. 1t means more
money for him, more money for
the country, a better farm foi'
him, and a more hopeful outlook
for the cOuntry'S future.
AS an impressive note Mr.. Hill
sounds, too, when he protests
against the exhaustion of our
mineral resources. We are al

Cant. w. C. Webb, the boiling candl-

HALF A MILLION
ASKED

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Oct. 29.-The sec
ond hearing of the Gilbert D. Raine
$500 900 damage suit against the Com
mercial Publishing Company was COM
menced this morning. The morning
and afternoon sessions of the court
were devoted to arguments on pre-
liminary questions, and 1t is thought
that the jury will be selected and the
hearing of the testimony will be COM
menced tomorrow.
The suit is based upon an alleged
libel. The basis of the action for a
half a million of dollars is an editor
ial which appeared in the CONNER
cial Appeal March 26, 1905, and was
the elimination of a series of articles
which appeared in the News-Scimitar
directed at the Commercial Appeal
and members of the directory Of the
paper.

for work. and a time to vote; and we
cannot conceive of any work or busi-
ness more important fol. next Iues-
dav than the business of voting. me
farmers are busy with their sowing
and reaping; they are behind with
their corn pulling and their wheal
nIanting: but no man is so busy or SO
poor or so hard run that he cannon
with profit to himself and his cnlidreh
and his children's children stop what
aver he may be doing and spare the
time to go to the polls and cast
righteous vote agairst the cruelest,
r,eonest wickedest traffic that ever
cursed country.
The only possible Danger Mr.. Green
law can be in, is the overconfdence OF
his friends. Every one knows that
he would not be in this race except
for the purpose of legislating the
saloons out of the county of his birth
and the town where he lives. And the
people by an overwhelming majority
favor the adjustment of the saloons
from the towns of Mt. Pleasant and
Columbia. But their "favoring" VIII
do no good, unless they vote. So the
conclusion of the whole matter is
this:
Let each and every one of us re-
solve, first, to vote; and second, to
avail ourselves of every opportunity to
remind others of the Importance OF
their voting. Let's each and every
one constitute himself a committee
of one to get large vote out. How?
BY going himself, early, and voting;
and then by telepbouing for or going
after some other voter, and seeing to
it that he votes. The argument is all
in: the issues are all understood; the
people have their minds made up; the
only work left to do is to get the voters
to the polls. And the way to do that
is for every man to do his part; and
the part of every man is TO GET AS
MANY MEN THERE AS HE CAN.
The man who only votes, does but
fairly we'll; for so great cause he
could and should do more. And the
man who for pleasure, work or bust
ness fails to vote at all, deserts a
righteous cause at the critical time of
need.
Capt. webb's friends claim that they
will carry the counties OF Lewis
and Perry by large majorities, and
come into Maury with 1000 majority;
and Mr.. Greenlaw does not think their
claim extravagant. That majority can
be. and must be, and we believe will
be, overcome by the temperance vot'
ers of Maury county, Democrats and
Republicans alike, quitting their work
and going to the polls to vote for their
homes and fresides, against the Sa'
| loon.

We publish in this issue full text
of Gov. Coxs speech at ~Blountville,
last Saturday, in which he outlines
the policy he will pursue and the re-
forms he will advocate in the next
Senate. That Mr.. Cox will be a lead
err in the Senate, if not the leader OF
the Senate, no one doubts. His pro-
nouncement, therefore, will be read
with interest. Gov. Cox is a bigger man,
a brainier man and better man than
he was credited with being when ne
first became Governor. If he had been
better understood, he would have been
endorsed. However, he is young yet,
and his endorsement may come later.
Reverses sometimes make men, and
we predict that Tennessee is not yet
done with John I. Cox.
