PITY THE FARMER.

Oh, Yum, Yum. Have you seen
the Greeley farmer lately, knee
deep in prosperity? Never before in
the history of this section was there
such a crop on the land. On nearly
every other farm one can see the
threshing outfits working like ter
riers, grinding out in the neighbor-
hood of 4,0OO bushels of grain day
for each outfit; grain running from
so to 100 bushels an acre.
Next field to the thresher men is
= twenty acre patch of sugar beets
that will run not less than 25 tons
to the acre. possibly 80 The beets,
too, are of one per cent more sugar
than last year. That means a
whole..lot: full price for every ton,
and the weight is one third more
than last year.
Right alongside the beet patch is
. lOIty dSl6 uSlo VI pOtdlOcS llidl
win run $50 sacks to the acre.
Price is yet good, though of unknown
quantity later. but the big crop will
be a money maker anyway even at
low prices.
The third crop of alfalfa is also
running up as fast as Colorado sun
shine and sufficient water will force
it, and so on down the line of crops
that can only be grown here in such
quantities.
No wonder the farmer is willing
to rest his weight for a moment on
the irrigating shovel or pitchfork
and tell the man in the buggy that
be believes he will pull through
the year without debt.
Don't believe all this?
Well, just you drive a few miles
out in the county and see for your
self

CLAYTON FOR STATE CHAIRMAN

What's the matter with Senator
Clayton for chairman of the state
democratic central committee? Mr.
Clayton doesn't want it and declares
he couldn't accept it If offered him.
The Tribune believes it would be a
good thing if leading democrats of
the state would bring pressure to
bear upon him sufficient to compel
change of mind.
Wherever known Senator W. L.
Clayton is looked upon as leader
and straight politician. As
senator he doesn' have to be watched
to keep him from stealing the people
blind when the Legislature meets,
and given any fair show at all he is
successful leader along political
lines.
We are tired, thoroughly tired, of
Chairman sIilt Simth and SO are
whole lot of other democrats. We
would like to see Senator Clayton
wear his shoes. If Clayton won't or
can't, there are other gond leaders.
Let's get rid of Milt Smith.

Little Lessons in Politics
By independent Voter.
By Independent Voter.

1t was a commendable thing for
the state democracy to side track,
or, at least to try to side track
Messrs. Speer, Davoren and Others
of that ilk, but the question natur-
ally presents itself now. If the better
element in the state democracy
really intended to clean house, and
it was the unanimous cry that the
power of the ballot should be given
back into the hands of the people,
why will not the present gang allow
the people to choose the next candi-
daet for governor?
The fight that is being made on
Judge Ben B. Lindsey, who has
dared to consider himself fit to be =
candidate for the governorship, does
not at all smack of the democracy
that has been preached by T. NJ.
Patterson, Charles S. Thomas, Alva
Adams and others. At present it
seems to be the intention of Mr.
Patterson to cram Alva Adams on to
tie state, as governor, regardless of
whether the people want Adams, or
Adams wants the goyernorship. 1t
is claimed that Adams would like
to be United States senator-a very
laudable ambition, but one that T.
NJ. Patterson is not ready to crafty.
whatever his own designs Oh the
office may be- For that reason he is
whooping up Adams for governor, in
order to confuse the real conditions.
There is no doubt that Patterson,
Thomas and Adams are something of
an improvement over Messrs. Evans,
Speer and Davoren, but there is
still plenty of room for improve
ment. The three first named are
just fairly honest in politics: the
three latter are not. The three
former may be little more artistic
10 their methods and also consider
ably more scrupulous, but. neverthe-
less. they are corporation men just
the same. But as choice between
the old democratic ring and the pres
ent combination, let US have the last
named.
There would, however. be an ex-
cellent chance for the democratic
party to make a ten strike for pure
politics and for the betterment Of
the state government, il that was
really the intent Of the late reorga-
nfzatfon. Elect Judge Lindsey gov
erhor and back him up 10 his reform
with every honest democrat and re-

WHO HAS CAANGED7

NJ" lDe question Is, VIII Has
changed, William Jennings Bryan or
the American people?'' Only ten
years ago the American people took
down the young Nebraskan, sat upon
him and tried TO iiatten him out,
and succeeded TO the extent of roll
ing up one OF the biggest majorities
for his opponent, William Mckinley,
that has ever been accorded a presi-
Dental candidate in America. Could
the contest be wageo between the
same two men today, Bryan repre-
senting the same principles that he
advocates today-and these differ but
slightly from those through which
he was introduced to the American
people-and Mckinley standing upon
the same platform by which he de-
feated Bryan the first time. there is
every reason to believe that the re-
suit would be just exactly the oppo-
site. This belief is strengthened by
the fact that President Roosevelt has
become the idol of the people by his
fight for many of the very principles
for which Bryan suffered defeat in
two campaigns.
| There was this difference between
the two. Bryan advocated these prin-
ciples under the name Of democracy !;
Roosevelt has carried some of them
out under the name of republican
ism. Both of these, in their broadest
sense, stand for Americanism; that
is an honest and fair chance for the
masses as against the classes. The
personality of the two men differs
widely, perhaps, but it is simply the
difference of the sturdy honesty of
the east as against the sturdy hon.
esuy of the west. OF the two Roose-
velt is no doubt the more radical
and impetuous, and yet he repre-
sents the transitory period of the
American people from the intoler-
able Organism of ten years ago to
the almosr universally accepted
Organism Of today, and in this state
menr seems to be answered the origi-
nal question, and that it is the
people that have changed. So, no
doubt, it is and the people as a logi-
cal sequence should now be ready to
accept Bryan and his principles as a
whole. and SO more than likely it
will be two years from now.
But while the majority of the
people will look upon Bryan as the
logical successor to Roosevelt, it
will be seventh day wonder II his
election does not bring on financial
panic equal to. If not worse than,
the one for which his first nomina-
tion is blamed. 1t will not be tie
fault of Bryan, either, but will be
brought on in spite of him. There
will be no acceptance of Bryan re-
publicanism by Wall street any more
than there has been of Roosevelt
democracy, but the prosperity of the
country has been maintained these
six years rather In spite of the st-eet
than through its efforts: also in the
hope that their man could be elected
when Roosevelt was through with
the office. This he has emphaticaIIy
announosa that he is. 50 it looks like
Bryan two years hence. Only one
thing will probably prevent the
money powers from calling out
| financial panic. That will be the
l

development of sufficient strength by
some such radical democrat as W.
+. Hearst as to be a presidential
possibility. In such case even
Wall street might become clamorous
for conservative Willie Bryan.

Cats.


A man of cats declares it is the worst
Of luck for pet black cat to forsake
your home. A woman of cats asserts
1t Is the best Of luck. In the middle
ages Satan's favorite form was black
cat. Witches always have cat as
their familiar-a stray black pussy in
preference. If a white cat races across
your. yard child is going to die. If a
stray cat Of any color takes up with
you, making your house it's home, you
will have good luck. Napoleon Bona.
parte showed a morbid horror of cats.
4 The night before the battle of Water
loo black cat passed near him, and
at the sight the great warrior was COM
pletely unnerved. He saw an omen
Of defeat. Henry III. Of France swoon-
ed whenever he saw a cat, and one Of
the Ferdinands Of Germany would
tremble in his boots if harmless tabby
got in the line of his vision. Among
the Romans cat was a symbol of lib.
erty. The egyptians held the animal
In generation under the name of Aelu-
rus, a deity with human body and q
cats head. Whoever killed cat, even
BY accident, was put to death. Diana
assumed the form of cat and excited
the fury of the giants.

1911 and graduated in 1914. EARLY in
his college career he had his left eye

the other eye soon became sympathet.
ically affected. He travelled in Eng
land, France and Italy and then de-
voted himself to severe study, but it
was not till the beginning Of 1926 that
he found the work Of his life within
the range Of Spanish history. Fortu.
nately his means were ample, so that
he was able to procure the services of
assistants and to live amid conditions
Of comfort. BY constant habit he gain
ed the power Of carrying a great deal
in his memory, and after he had revolv-
ed the whole of chapter in his mind
he quickly transferred it to paper by
means of his stylus and an ingenious
writing case especially constructed for
the blind. He published his ''Elstory Of
Ferdinand and Isabella" in 1884 whicE
carried his name across the ocean to
the old world. This was followed by
his History Of the Conquest Of Mexi-

WEIGHING Common Air.

The weight Of air has often been
tested by COMPRISING it in receptacles
by the air pump. That it really. has
weight when so compressed Is shown
by the fact that the weight Of the yes
sells is increased slightly by filling
them with compressed air and that
such vessels become specifically Eight
er'' as soon as the air contained. in
them is exhausted. Many elaborate
experiments on the weight Of air have
proved that the cubic foot weighs 536
grains, or something less than one and
a quarter ounces. The above expert
ment on the weight of air Is supposed
to be made at the surface of the earth
with the temperature at 80 degrees F.
Heated air or air at high elevations is
much lighter.

The End Ol Books.

What brings about the end Of books :?
Is it fire, water, worms? AS every
ship launched is bound to be wrecked,
every theater to be burned, the fms of
the book is it's reduction to ashes.
What became of the Alexandrian IL.
brary? Did the Saracens burn it in
$40? There is this question asked:
Was there any library at Alexandria
containing 100000 books? Gibbon in
clines to the opinion that there was no
such library. Canon Taylor insists that
IL there had been a library it was burn
ed in the time Of julius Caesar. Ira
dltion seems to indicate, however, that
there was library in the serapeum,
by no mans large collection, but
whether, destroyed by Theophilus or
Theodosius Is not known. 1t looks as
IL the charge brought against the Arabs
rested on no foundation. Explorations
Of Alexandria in 1866 show no traces
Of the serapeum. The seaport Of Egypt
was built on a damp foundation, and
granting that there was library, II
not destroyed by fire, then the papyri
might have suffered from decay due to
water. Books Of today taken 60 India,
to the southern states and to the West
Indies perish through mildew.
