HARVEST HELP.
Farmers In The Future Must be Pro.
tecied.

Farmers in the future must be pro
tected in some Say in getting good
reliable harvest help, at the time they
want It, and as many men as they
want. |. How will this be done' Why,
let the merchants of Great Bend es.
tablish a bureau two months before
harvest, have a regular secretary, to
whom the farmer Can 60 and tell him
the,,number Of men needed and desig
nate the time they will be wanted.
The secretary Can procure these men
from all over the country, even if he
has to make a trip now and then to
Kansas City, Topeka, Joplin or else.
where.
SOMETHING ELSE MUST BE DvNE.
We must get a round trip ticket for
40 or 60 days for every harvest hand
that comes into this country at a low
rate. The railroad company runs
them in here at one cent a mile, but
it takes three cents to get out, which
takes all Of their profits to get back
home again. We must 60 before the
Western Passenger Company and get
an excursion ticket, as cheap as any
excursion run in this country. II
there is any merchant or farmer who
has suggestion to make on this SUBJ
ject, we would be pleased to hear
tIom them; but we say, in the future
something must be done to protect
the farmer. We would like to hear
from each farmer in regard to this, see
or write US as to what suggestion you
have 10 make.
NOW WHEN HARVEST is OVER
do not put off buying until next week
tn { which you ought to have today,
you are going to commence blowing
right off, and do not forget that we
have the Oliver, John Deere and
Morrison gangs and sulkeys. Also
the John Deere and Hancock disc
plows, engine disc plows. Also the
Banner riding attachment that you
can use on any pillow that you have on
hand. He is the happiest and best
fixed in life, who is always on time
with some of our machinery to do his
work.

The U. S. Senate has passed the Nc
Cumber service pension bill. 1t grants
i pension Of S12 a month to survivors
of the Civil and Mexican wars who
have reached the age of 81; SIS to those
who are over 70 years Of age and $50 to
those who are IS or over. Senator Nc
Cumber estimates that if the bill be-
comes a law it will increase the pension
expenditure OF the country to the ex-
tent d about So, 900, 900 annually, while
the commissioner of pensions thinks
that the increase will be between ten
and fifteen millions a year.
The two largest counties in the United
States are Custer county, Montana, and
San Bernardino county, California. Each
OF these is a little more than 20, 00C
square miles in extent, and the four
states of Massachusetts, Rhode Island,
Delaware and New Jersev could be put
inside the boundaries Of either of them.
The smallest county in the union is
Bristol county, Rhode Island, which has
only twenty-five square miles The
county in the United States having the
largest population is New York, which
has more than 2,C0l, 600 people in it.
At the time of the last census Baily
county, Texas, which is about as large
as Rhode Island. had only four inhabi-
taAts.

Both Of Wisconsin's representatives
in the United States senate distin-
gushed themselves, during the past
week. Senator Toilette won vic
tory for the travelling public and rail-
way workmen by advocating and Sc
curing the passage through the senate
Of bill prohibiting railroads from ex-
2-lng too many hours service from
their trainmen without rest and sleep.
Senator Spooner pleased the thinking
people Of the entire country by effect
ually puncturing the thick-skinned
senator from South Carolina, vulgar
T.Ilman- The latter never loses an OPP
portunity to assault, with his venemous
tongue, the president OF the United
States. Senator Spooner came to the
rescue, and he gave the southern gen
tleman a drubbing that he will not
s)on forget.

two candidates for the job of post
master In the senate. Chris. Paulus. OF
Milwaukee, who held the place two
years agn. aud J. N. IIi5bard. editor
of the Stoughton Hub. Supporters of
these candidates charge the other side
with violating the civil service law in
seeking to influence the selection Of
the other man, some going 80 far as
to involve Governor Davidson, who.
however. is exoneratcd by Secretary
Doty. Of the civil service commission.
Doty declares that the only connection
the governor has had with the case
was to sign Hibbard's preliminary pa
per. testifying to knowing the APP
plicant. a piece Of red tape necessary
TO all before any examination can be
taken. What the upshot Of it all will
be it is hard TO say, but 1t is generally
regarded as an unfortunate in
eitlcnt. II is a cropping out Of The
feeling that has been epgendered by
the change in the manner Of dis
tributing legislative patronage.
First Bill 10 Pass.
The assembly incident was the at
tack by Mr.. Bancroft OH the bill rlak-
ing an appropriation OF 5000 to the
legislative reference library to make
mere effective the law factory which
Mr.. Mccarthy rms with so skilled Il
hand. The original bill called for
about three times that amount amt
Mr. Bancroft was not aware of the
cutting down when he made his at
tack. He foresaw the creation of Il
mighty lobby and of a department out
Of all proportion to the governor and
tho Legislature. but when he was in
formed that Ii was an emergency APP
preparation 10 carry out work al
ready begun he withdrew his objection
aud the bin went through without OPP
position. 1t was the first bill. by the
way, to pass either house at this SEES
sion.
II present developments can be
taken as an Indication OF the future,
there will be the usual grfst of bills
to engage the attention of the legis-
lators. Already nearly a hundred
have made their appearance. The
larger measures on which the tug OF
war win come and which will have
to do with insurance and public serv-
ice corporations have not yet seen the
light of day, except as two-cent fare
bills may be so regarded. but will
