Here and There.

The Democrat has received from the
publishers, the j. X. Waters Co. of Bos-
ton, a copy of that heralded book, 1.-The
Plunderer," story of Maine politics, by
the brilliant but erratic DR.. G.. Langtry
Crockett of Knox County. Written from
the Democratic standpoint, the book
slashes in all directions without dis
elimination, and the Doctors satire is
keen. Any one at all familiar with
Maine politics during the past fifteen
years can hardly fail to be entertained
by portions of ii at least, though some of
it is too long drawn out. Like many
other writers of the day whose nominal
aim is TO reform the world, and whose
real aim is to make a sensation, the
doctor takes that view of things which
discovers cloven hoof in every mans
shoe, and acknowledges no motive but
that of self-interest in ninety-niue out a
hundred men. There is an attempt to
weave in love story, but no one would
be guilty of calling the book a novel,
and rhetorically, dramatically and
geographically it is an incoherent
nightmare.

President Roosevelt does well in max
ing public without comment telegram
of congratulation on the result of the
Haywood trial sent to him by three of
the country's most noted anarchists.
The fact of such telegram being sent
is one that will give no pleasure to any
true friend of labor.

A newspaper paragraph of advice re-
garding the dressing of young infants in
hot weather says that they SHOULD wear
garments suitable to the season, and not
those heavy enough to keep their bodies
warm in winter" But if that advice

clothing of the adult male human being.

The verdict of acquittal in the world
famed Haywood case will be accepted
by the general public, even by those who
were impressed by the apparent truth
fuilness of the remarkable story of Harry
Orchard. But the trial has done good
by calling attention to the futility of
trying to end wrong condition by the
use Of force, when the law is available.
In the contest between the miners and
the mine owners, it was force against
force, but the end is not yet. Nothing
is finally settled till it is settled right.

Foraker or Senator Dick from politics in

tended to extend the olive bra nch to the
Foraker wing of the party, but 1t was

Very appropriately, one of the i'm

PAYS TO ADVERTISE.

The Waverly Ia) Democrat, a
weekly paper with no special interest
in the fortunes of its daily neighbors
reports an illuminating conversation
with successful Muscatine merchant
who said, speaking of his advertise
ments:
They pay in two ways. They bring
customers to our store and they keep

IS TEDDY A NATURE FAKIR?

We have all been reading day after
day about the strenuous time thai
President Roosevelt has been having
in the cane brakes of Louisiana. Bull
letins came out of these swamps and
inaccessible thickets from time tc
time telling how the president en-
countered and slew giant wild cat
| how he shot startled deer, how he
swan a river or lake or something
while his brave body guards shivered
on the bank and dare not enter the
chilly water. Finally we are informed
that he shot three bears. It is at
this juncture that a southern con-
gressman arises to remark that there
are no bears in the state of Louisiana
and have been none there for the last
100 years. He says that the small
black animals the president has been
searching for SO diligently with the
purpose Of slaughtering them, are in
reality large coon, and that the
colored men called them bears. In
fact he says that the president has
been hunting coons instead Of bears.
This southern congressman is Rep
resentative Burleson of Texas, and he
claims to be something of bear
hunter himself and to have killed
mighty silver tip bears in the western
woods and jungles. We can foresee
right now that the presidential
Ananias club is soon to have new
member from Texas, for the president
will not tamely submit to being class
ed as a nature fakir. Not on your
life. He has told us too much about
that class Of outcasts. But this con-
gressman from Texas is probably a
democrat, and SO barred out from any
say about the federal officers in his
district. Had it not been SO he would
have justly been charged with reck
less folly in thus treading on the
tenderest corns of the man who gives
out the postofhces and other good
things. We may put it down as a
settled fact that no friend OF Burleson
will get any federal office in the
future, but there is chance for some
democratic senator or representative
from Louisiana getting close to the
doughdisl1, by backing up vigorously
the presidents bear stories. DR.. Long
might now come to the front and tell
us about the bears of the Louisiana
cane brakes and their family con-
nections.-Great Falls Tribune.

have to pay, and all the clerk has to
do is to produce the goods and get
the money for them/ 4 In a store that
advertises properly there are very few
people who come in just to look
around, and as a consequence bust
ness moves easily and briskly."
The merchant went on to say that
several years ago. when one of his
partners thought the advertising bills
were too high, the firm dropped its
Saturday ads. just to see what would
happen.
There was the usual rush Monday
morning, and the partner who wanted
to cut down the advertising smiled
triumphantly. But he laughs best
who laughs last. The man who tells
the story says that when night came
everybody in the shop was worn
out. Heads of departments said they
must have more help.
Yet the sales were the ightest of
any Monday for year. An unusual
number of the buyers did not know
exactly what they wanted, and the
clerks time had been consumed in
helping them make their conclusions.
On other Mondays their conclusions
had been made in advance by read
ing the ads.
No doubt merchants in other towns
could give similar testimony A force
in business that at once increases
sales and keeps expense down is too
important to be ignored.

Not Falrv Tales.

1t is proverbially hard to satisi, !,
the farmer with his crops, but one
farmer expressed his feelings the 9th
er dav to Tribune representative
when he said: Il would not want the
crop any heavier. The grain fields
on my farm were SO heavily laden
with ripe grain that it was all they
could do to hold it up. Had the yield
been any heavier the grain must have
lodged and been crushed down with
its own weight" Mr. F.. R. Clingan,
formerly county commissioner Of this
county, is authority for the state
ment that George Goodwin recently
threshed u acres Of winter wheat for
his son, Walter Goodwin, on bench
land between Otter creek and Belt
creek that produced "a bushels to the
acre in measured bushels that will
considerably overrun the legal weight.
1t is necessary to mention the name
Of a man Of Mr.. Clingan's we'll known
reliability and veracity as vouching
for a story Of this sort, for it will be
unbelievable to many of the Tribune
readers who are not acquainted with
the possibilities of the rich bench
lands in this county in favorable
year. Editor Bemis, of the Belt Val
ley Times, had an experience quite
as remarkable in its way the other
day with spring wheat on the bench
land above the Belt valley, when he
threshed five acre tract that pro-
duced 63 bushels to the acre, and a
very much larger field that averaged
81 bushels to the acre. These are not
falrV tales as thew NAV seem to o,1t-
siders. We are assured that ample
proof of their accuracy can be pro-
duced.-Great Falls Tribune.

MAYOR JoHNSON'S IDEAL.

campaign between Burton and John
son is progressing in the city O.
Cleveland, where the issue is to bt
decided, but outside Of Cleveland ir
the metropolitan newspapers of the
country, both republican and demo
cratic, where any degree of indie
pendence in comment is looked for
Mayor Johnson has far the best of it
The general concensus OF opinion
among the independent press of the
nation is that President Roosevelt and
Secretary Taft made big blunder
in butting in on purely local
municipal election in the City of
Cleveland on a partisan basis. Quite
number OF republican papers frank
ly say as much. One Of these is the
Philadelphia North American, which,
after speaking III high praise Of Bur-
ton as man, declares that it cannot
wish him success in his contest
against Tom Johnson in Cleveland.
because the latter stands for civic
decency and good government against
all the corrupt elements in the city
Another independent writer in the
Reader thus describes the ideals of
Mayor Johnson:
The mayorality Of city of half
a million inhabitants does not suggest
the final ambition of man of pow
er. 1t is usually treated as step
ping stone to something higher. But,
with Mayor Johnson, the city is the
natural arena for the expression of
his ideals Of government, which are
those of a pure democracy. He did
try to be governor of Ohio once, but
was defeated. He looked upon that
office as means for securing free
dom for the cities. For, in Ohio, as
elsewhere, the cities are chained
Prometheus-like, by state laws i'm
posed upon them by the big privileged
interests which control the state in
order that they may the better rob
the cities Of franchises or evade the
taxes which they should pay. The
cities have little self government
They are denied home rule. They
have little power to be good, but ev-
cry power to be bad State legis-
latures have proceeded on the theory
that the people of the cities cannot
be trusted; they cannot be trusted to
levy taxes as they will, to own and
operate public utilities, to bor-
row money, even to regulate the
wages of the policemen on the
streets This is one of the reasons,
probably the principal reason, why
municipal government is so bad. Be-
tween the laws of the state on the
one hand and the corrupting in
fiuences OF the street railways, gas,
electric lighting and telephone COM
panies on the other, they are strangl-
ed in their efforts to express them
selves, and any man who seeks to
make city better is likely to be
crushed between ripper" legislation
by the state or the financial interests
of the city.
tom Johnson has an ideal Of
free city, such a city as fourished in
ancient Greece, in Italy during the
Renaissance, or in Germany. For the
great cities of the world have been
free; they have been little republics
within the states, and they have re-
snended to this freedown by creating
the highest civilization ever known.
