great many people think they can

The variety you plant must be adapt

On my land l can't grow many varie-

it is very important to find out the

conducting a campaign of education to
secure the adoption of the district the
opposition of the speculator will some

The essential features of the opera

a Board of Reclamation, which would
be elected by the people in the dis
trict, who would be clothed by the
law with the power to bond the whole
acreage to be cleared for the purpose
of providing funds with which to i'm

clearing in the district. Upon such
bonds being negotiated the actual
clearing would be prosecuted by the
Board of Reclamation and the expense
paid from the proceeds of the sale OF
the bonds.
The provision for the repayment OF
the bonds should be so devised that
they would bear very low rate Oh

The Gompers EizzIe.

Sioux City Journal. Perhaps the
most gratifying single feature of the
election was the ignominious fizzle of
President Gompers' campaign to de-
liver the labor vote to Bryan and sub
stitute Democratic for a Republican
majority in congress. That it was A
fizzle became apparent when it devel-
oped that Greater New York, with it's
great masses of wage earners was to
give Taft plurality Returns from in
dustrial centers everywhere told the
same story. Apparently the labor vote
generally, in spite of the strong lev
erage brought to bear upon it, refused
to rally in solid block in support of
the democracy and divided its vote
about as usual Taft has been elected
President, Speaker Cannon has been
reelected. and the Republicans will
have good working majority in con-
gress This spells decisive defeat for
the Gompers programme. 1t demon
strates that the wage earners as a
class. in common with the business
men and farmers, do their own politi-
cal thinking and do it intelligently.
