year in this manner the conventions
when they meet would scarcely need
to consider mor than two or three
names in each party and delegates
would have a better basis for guild
ance than the usual selfish or band
wagon motives.

If you can induce your leaders,
whom you have promised to support
or e disposed to follow, to accept
this issue and work for the people
this year, all well and good. but if
not, we should organize to defeat
them and the sooner the better.
Don't lose or destroy this paper
till victory comes and give us any
help or suggestions you can to speed
the day. If we can't accomplish
great results this year l want any
facts or help | can get in preparing
a lecture or longer address on The
New Politics or a Farmers Idea of
the Square Deal; and if no one who
is considered Of presidential size
takes up this issue this year or in
1912, please remember that the Lord
is raising up on the great western
plains a leader like unto our late
lamented Lincoln.
These suggestions may be crude
and easily improbable by a multitude
of councillors, but let US approve and
adopt the principle of honest, in
telligent and interrupted popular
sovereignty that we may ultimately
reach the goal of political purity,
! civic righteousness and just govern
ment for the greatest nation on earth
! today. M. A. SINISTER. Jr.

Bronze Sculpture in America

An interesting contrast in modern
bronze sculpture is presented at the
Metropolitan Museum of Art in New
York. In the same room, side by side,
are characteristic exhibits of the Eng
fish and American schools. The Eng
fish, severe, classic, conventional, over
exquisite, unhuman. typical of mental
reticence and fear of audacity and
originality in expression that amounts
almost to eccentricity, respectable
ornaments for dreary British drawing
rooms. Nearby and less conspicuous
in size and numbers are the Ameri-
can models, men, women, children, ami
mails, vivid, gay, reckless, alive with
the everlasting restless energy of
turbulent American life. They reveal
the frankness of a land still edged
with pioneer habitation; the vast
clean, empty spaces of the prairie
have touched the spirit of these bronze
sculptors; tradition has not pressed
upon them and so their expression of
life is spontaneous, audacious; and
the scene of humor which tinges all
existence in America finds delightful
freedom of expression, bringing about
a certain whimsical handling Of sub
ject, suggestion of picturesque philos-
ophy that, among many other by-re-
suits, incidentally saves this phase of
art from mawkish sentimentality or
effeminacy.-From Bronze Sculpture

taves and the tanks of two others and
wrecker and derrick were badly
damaged before they could, be pulled
out of danger. A rotary, pillow was
slightly damaged.
A queer feature of the fire was that
the whistle on one of the burning To-
comotives kept blowing an alarm at
intervals until it melted off. The
Northern Pacific fire department was
badly crippled, as the fire conferred
around the boiler room ?;
The company carried $4,000 insur-
ance on the roundhouse and machine

Dean Shepperd of the state agricul-
tural college is in receipt of letter
from the United States department Of
commerce and labor Offering to assist
farmers in particular, and employers
generally, to secure help.
This offer to the employers of the
Northwest comes as part Of the de-
tailed effort on the part of the gen.
eral government to distribute the vast
stream Of aliens more equally through
oat the country. 1t is believed by the
department Of commerce and labor
that immigrants stay in the large
cities chiefly because of ignorance of
where labor may be obtained, and the
department is making every effort to
bring good employers and willing en-
ployes together.
Those interested may secure infor-
nation blanks free by writing to the
department of commerce and labor at
Washington. The department will aid,
to the extent of its power, any en-
ployer seeking help.
