Assistance of Hungarian Immigrants,

New York will be the scene of a
campaign this fall which for interest
from a purely human point of view
will surpass that of any campaign in
the political history of the State. The
human interest in the contest Will lie
largely in the desire of the people of
the whole country to learn IN cold
figures how many followers William
Randolph Hearst has won for the
cause of which he has been for years
the seif-advertised exponent.
The Republicans of New York have
nominated Charles Evans Hughes rs
their candidate for governor to oppose
Mr.. Hearst The campaign In small
degree, however, will be a contest be-
tween recognized political parties. 1t
will be a fight between demagogy and
decency. between impractical radicalism
and unreasonlng if genuine discomfort
and just as honest but more conserva-
tive reform.
1t seems inconceivable that Mr..
Hearst can carry the State OF New
York. If he does carry it it is time
that men of sane minds In all the
States should take thought for the
future 1t is undeniably true that the
methods of Mr.. Hearst, his appeals to
ignorance, his sophistries and his subtle
efforts to turn content 70 discomfort.
have created for him following. The
test CT the strength of that following is
to come.
The nomination of Mr.. Hearst by
their party comes to the conservative
Democrats of New York State as a
sort of a numbing shock. The numb
ness won't last long. Mr.. Hearst will
find himself facing a more hitter OPP
position within the ranks of the party
which yesterday named him as its
standard bearer than Charles ]. Fol-
ger confronted in the Republican party
when Grover Cleveland defeated him
for the governorship of New York
twenty -four years ago.
Mr.. Hearst has the support Of his
own papers. What other press support
can he count upon? Nearly every
Democratic paper of prominence In the
State of New York is Of conservative
tendencies. Is it possible that these
journals will give over their columns
to the sudden advocating Of that which
for years they have been consistently
condemning-
In Mr.. Hughes the Republicans have
a candidate for whom the Democrats
who revolt at the thought Of Hearstism
can vote without a wrench Of con-
science. He will have the vote of all
men in his party who have not strayed
into the camp of the yellow flag The
coming contest will disclose the truth
or falsity of the claim that the Hearst
idea is dominant with the people of
New York.-Chicago Post

between work and play. Life insur-
ance is all right SO long as the COM
pany is properly managed. but the best
form OF life insurance is a good system
of daily exercise, a system that uses
muscles that are not used in the rou-

Government statistics show that the
value Of horses has increased surpris-
ingly the last nine years. On January
1, 1897, there were 14,364,667 horses
in the United States. and their estimat-
ed value then was $452 .649, 1896. the
average value at this estimate being
abou; S31.50 per head. On Janhsry i.
1906, the total number of horses was
1S.71s.57S, and their estimated value
was 61,510. ,906, which Is about
SS0.75 head, or more than two and
half times as much head as was
their estimated value nine years ago.
This does not indicate that the horse
less carriage has seriously injured the

as values are concerned.

that free coinage CT silver would con-

While he does not make it clear how
lie will deal specifically with the sew

in its relation to the commonwealth,
he announces that his cure will be
drastic and that he will shortly tackle

Lower Pricex. Loxer Income..


Let it be known tomorrow that
there Is to be rip up OH the tariff and
the cheapening pr,;cess will begin i'm
mediately. Neither the manufacturer
nor the wholesaler or the retailer will
know what to expect. Many will lose
their jobs. Their ability to buy will
be decreased and prices will fall. The
man who holds his job and keeps his
salary may possibly be benefited tenn
porarily, but scarcely one man in ten
thousand will be able to do that. A
general reduction in wages will be the
order Of the day.. Hard times mean
lard times incomes. The prices that
prevail in good times are the natural
sequence of the incomes that character
ize such periods. The man who argues
that you can have hard times prices
and good times incomes Is either an
ign0ramus or d demagogue, and who-
ever believes him is not wise. lie

Points ON Prairie Soil.
All who nave taken up prairie farms
will recognize the truth of the follow
ing statement Of Professor Ten Eyck,
of Kansas. in regard to them:
When the wild prairie is first broken
the soil is mellow, moist md rich, pro.
ducing abundant crops. After few
years Of continuous grain cropping and
cultivation. the physical condition OF
the soil changes-the soil grains be-
come finer; the soil becomes more com
pact and heavier to handle; 1t dries
out quicker than it used to and often
turns over in hard clods and humps
when plowed. The perfect filth and
freedom from clods. SO Characteristic
of virgin soils, is always more or less
completely restored whenever land has
been laid down to grass for a sufficient
length Of time.
The Crnnnry OF south America.
The Argentine Republic is best
kDown Of all the South American coun-
tiles because it produces cereals and
beef, mutton, wool and hides In com
Petition with the United States, Can.
a da and European countries; yet it is
difficult to keep pace with the enormous
growth of Argentine agriculture during
tie last few years. just as ver, many
lersons are still unable to grasp the
tact that instead of being little coun-
try somewhere down In South America,
1t is twenty-eight times the size OF
Ohio, and that while in the northern
regions 1t produces sugar and other
tropical products, yet as whole 1t is
to be viewed as another Mississippi
valley. The argentine minister of az
riculture estimates the wheat crop for
the current year at 3.SS2.000 tons, the
area under cultivation being 14,02S,0c9
acres. The foreign commerce this year
will exceed S550.O0o,000.
How TO Make Good Road Grader.
A good road grader can be made for
about s. that will make good grade
quicker and with fewer teams than the
usual $500 graders. Nail solidly to-
gether three planks in the form of :
letter a; then, on one side fasten a bar
of iron or steel about 4 inches wide, let.
ting il project down about two inches ;
on the other side fasten on a similar
iron with slight curve outward, pro
jecting only about one-half inch below
plank Now pillow two or three burrows
on each side of the place where you
want your grade.
Then hitch onto the point of your
grader with a large clevis and chair
so that you can adjust the draw; pull
it with the side that has the straight
iron against the bank and adjust your
weight so as to hold 1t there 1t will
move these burrows to the width OF
the scraper
Two more burrows can then be pillow.
ed and so on, till the width is all
that is wanted then start back near
the center again and proceed as before
A higher grade can be built with this
than with the ordinary grader, in less
time and with less power.
