Danger of Indorsing Candidates.
Tomorrow there will be a cry
that Watson is trying to lead the
Farmers Union into politics.
"Pay no attention to the clamor!
The mistake which the Farmers AL
lance made was that it indorsed
candidates for office. Leaders of
the alliance tried to deliver its vote
first to one candidate and then to
another. This split the order into
factions.
"Ther, again, nearly all the Off
GERS of the alliance wanted Office.
You remember how it was here III
Georgia, in one campaign every bless
ed state officer of the alliance, ex-
ecpting the lecturer, Rev. Thomas
Beck, was running for Office. From
Livingston down to the county pres!-
dent and vice-president, they every
one made a break for the public
crib.
''This very thing had as much to
do with killing the Alliance as any
other.
'The Farmers Union is avoiding
this fatal mistake. Their officers are
not allowed to run for Office while
holding their positions i'll the order.
Another thing helped to kill the
Alliance. A few of the leaders or
ganized a secret order within the AL

it. This wheel within the wheel was

hundred. You will want to modify
the banking system which puts you
at hopeless disadvantage. You will
want to exert more control over
transportation companies and over
public utilities of all kinds. You
will want special privileges rooted
out, and the laws made according to
the Jeffersonian gospel of 'equal

"You must study questions of ma
tional policy and legislation. You
must pass resolutions embodying your
views. You must show by your res
olutions how you intend to vote. The
politicians will do the rest.
"See how you managed that ques-
tion of immigration. You did not ia-
dorse any candidate; you had no cleo

tons. That was enough. The immigra-
ton business died quickly, without so
much as death rattle in its threat.
"Why can't you do the same with
other public questions? You can do
it. You can take up every demand
of the Ocala platform and have it
made into law by presenting bold
front in its favor. Once impress
the politicians that you are deter
mined to have these things, and that
your voting strength is sufficient to
mean defeat to one who defies you
and the reforms which you approve
will become laws.
Statesmen create currents, but
politicians float with the current.
Statesmen often tell you things
you don't want to hear, but The poll
tician seeks always to tell you what
you wish to hear. The statesman
may defy your pleasure, telling you
that you are wrong, but the pohti-
clan will seek to please you by doing
what you command, although he may
know that you are wrong. The staes-
man thinks only of your good. and
may often go against your present
wishes for your future welfare, but
the politician thinks only for his own
good and to get what he wants from
you, will go your way, even though
he feels it to be to your hurt. There
fore, you have nothing to fear from
them. You show them which side
the butter is on and they will know
how to select the bread.
Plea to Adopt Ocala Platform.
"Why shouldn' It the Farmers Tn
ion declare itself in favor of the
Oca1a platform of the Farmers AL
lance?
"Sooner or later the union must
set forth national creed, and ma

it be kept together; kept growing

proposition emanating from President
j. A. Everitt, of Equity, to finance
with farmers money a comprehensi1e
scheme for controlling the crops of
the country is attracting considerable
attention throughout the corn belt
where wealth has accumulated i'll
agrarian circles during recent years
with gratifying rapidity.
AS his money accumulates the corn
belt farmer is the more seriously con-
cerned regarding it's care. Most Of
them, respecting the French provc.b,
believe that money being fiat is male
to pile up, although a few adhere to
the round theory, which teaches them
that, being round, it is made to roll.
How properly to care for his in
creaslng cash reserve and keep it III
tact for the inevitable period of finan-
clal stress is the problem of the hour.
Consequently, the project outlined in
the Examiner in an interview with
President Everitt is attracting much
attention.
Bankers are agreed that if the
farmers could get together and
stick that word affords the key
to the situation-they would be able
to control crop marketing and put
agriculture in position of indepen-
dence.
Favors Farmers Banks.
Gas a banker I am in favor of
giving the farmer all possible finan-
cial accommodation, said a man who
controls national bank in central
Iowa. Take farmers deposits CUT
of the banks of the corn belt and
big hole would be made in their
liabilities, and, by the same token,
they would have very little to operate
on.
President Everitt, of the Ameri-
can Society of Equity, takes a posi-
ton that deserves commentator
from every banker in the country.
AS take it, the society he repre-
sents does not assume antagonism
toward existing financial institutions.
but merely wants the same accommo-
dation given the merchant and specu-
lator that would seem to be reason
able.
An elevator operator has no trou-
BILE in using the grain in his posses
sion as means of raising money,
and why should the farmer be han
dicapped in that manner? A drove
OF cattle or hogs or a crib full Of
corn ought to be a better security
for the banker than a bundle Of
stocks, the value Of which is liable
to shrink anywhere from 10 to so
per cent in response to a bear raid
in Wall Street.

HAS REMEDY FOR BEETLE.
Prospector Would ltroduce Greater
Variety of Pines.

The government is interested in the
statement recently made by William
Mcmillan, an oldtime prospector and
close student of tree nature, that the
hold of the bark beetle among the
trees of the Black Hills may be greatly
weakened by the Introduction of a
variety of pines A losing fight for
many years has been carried on with
the bark beetle, the only known means
for preventing its spread being the de-
struction of the infected timber. Until
recently this pest has been confined to
the Black Hills reserves, but timber
Inspector Smith recently has discover
ed that 1t is spreading to the Long
Pine and Eclaka reserves in Wyoming.
Mr.. McMillan's theory is that inter
preservation of plant tree life as it is
in the human or animal kingdom, and
as the hills contains but one variety,
the soft stone pine, others should be
planted, and within few years time
the trees would be too hardy for the
beetle. Among the varieties which he
suggests should be planted are the red
cone nut pine, the yellow cone nut
pine, the red fir Of Puget sound and
the white jack pine.

maniac SHOOTS
deHI|EF OF POLICE
RED WING THE SCENE OF ONE OF
THE WORST TRAGEDIES IN
ITS HISTORY.
CHIEF DYING; OFFICER HURT

Red Wing, Mimi, Jan. 16.-One of
the worst tragedies ever enacted in
Red Wing took place last evening
about $40 o'clock, when August
Bloom, an insane barber, shot Chief OF
Police James Daily and Police Officer
Peter Peterson, resulting in the prob
ably fatal wounding of Daily and the
serious and possibly fatal injury OF
Peterson.
Bloom returned to the city yesterday
morning from Minneapolis, where he
has been for the last year doing man
ual labor, since his escape from the
custody of officers who were taking
him to the Hastings asylum for the in
sane by transfer from the Rochester
asylum.
Physician 10 Threatened.
Yesterday Bloom roamed around
town, and meeting DR.. j. V. Anderson,
one of the physicians who served on
the board which passed on his insanity
before he was committed to Roches-
ter, he said to him:
You have got present coming
lfOIu me, anu VIII oSS eioI yS~ SS~
it,"
The possible seriousness Of the
threat induced DR.. Anderson to notify
the police Shortly after 6 O'Clock
Bloom sauntered into the Sibley hotel
and registered. He then went out OF
the hotel and returned shortly after .
o'clock Chief Daily and officer Peter
son quickly followed.
Questions Bring Death.
Chief Daily, facing him, said: Il un-
derstand that you have been threaten
ing people,
Bloom stepped into the doorway or
the hall leading from the office room
to the main stairway, and said in re-
ply: Go away from me or l Will XIII
you
so you threaten me, do you? SAID
the chief, and at the same tune he
drew his club.
But Bloom was still quicker, and in
an instant drew a revolver and aimed
point-blank at the chief The first shot
missed fire, but again he fired and the
second shot struck the chief in the
left shoulder and Daily staggered
back AS the chief of police fell the
third shot was fired by the insane
man. The bullet took effect in the ab-
domen.
Over the PROSTATE form of Daily the
maniac leaped and fired at Police Oh-
Ger Peterson, the shot striking him IN
the back. Bloom rushed outdoors and
| fed into the darkness, hatless.
At a late hour the maniac had not
been apprehended and the citizens are
in ter. or. not knowing where he will
break loose next.

meeting of sportsmen and others
interested in the question has just
been held at Hill City to consider the
subject Of satisfactory amendments
to the present game law of South Da.
kota. After considerable discussion
several suggestions were drawn up
and recommended for incorporation in
the new law 1t recommends change
in the length of the season, making
it from Sept. l to Nov. / instead of as
now, Nov. l to Dec. /, but with the
provision that only antlered bucks
shall be killed, the does and fawns
being exempted for period of five
years. The number of bucks which
may be killed is two as formerly. One
of the most important features in this
new regulation is the barring of dogs
on the field, provision which would
undoubtedly decrease the number OF
deer killed. Another provision recon.
mends that the residence license fee
be 81, while the nonresident fee is
set at $25, the fines and penalties to
be the same as heretofore.
