The tendency of experienced per-
SONS to drag: loaded guns after them
through the brush, pull them out of
wagons muzzle first, and to do other
and dangerous things in the excite
ment of hunting is taking some toll
of death in the hunting season. Ex-
perienced hunters seldom meet with
such accidents but of necessity good
many young persons must be killed
by these accidents before they can
become experienced. AS long as the
guns and ammunition are for sale

President Hill of the Great North
ern road, who is a pretty good proph-
ct in matters of business from his
close connection with the interests of
the northwest, is optimistic with re-
gard to the business conditions, and
says that this years crop in the
northwest will be ten million bushels
in excess of that of last year; that
prices are better and that the people
of the northwest will have more mon
ey to spend than they have had from
any crop for several years. While the
business revival has not yet brought
the stage of business up to the I'M
usually high mark of last year, be-
fore the financial disturbance Of the
early fall, he thinks the volume of
business will continue to improve,
that the haul of the railroads will
be larger and that the northwest will
see no depression in its commercial
affairs. 3 ~ Vi /,

"ALASKA" WHEAT.

It would appear that the northwest
is not in much danger of a flood of
the new alaska" wheat. No small
interest was stirred up through the
wheat growing section a short time
ago by reports of wheat that would
yield a hundred or more bushels an
acre, and some authorities were ex-
pressing fear lest the Introduction of
such a grain into our wheat fields
would work havoc with prices and
glut the grain market. At that time
the Tribune expressed the belief that
no great worry was justified through
any probability of discovering a
wheat that would raise a hundred
bushels to the acre, or any where
near that amount. Now it is said that
the alleged alaska" wheat is an in
ferior grade of grain that is soft and
not of especial value and that the
yield of it is about twenty bushels
to the acre. Even the yield is said
not to have been so good as that of
ordinary varieties of wheat in the
same locality. So it seems that the
virtue of this wonderful grain was
largely in the minds of the promot-
ers, and the biggest yield in connec-
ton with it must have been to the
promoters, who are said to have held
it at $40 per bushel. But at a dollar
a bushel and with a fair yield there
is still much virtue in raising the
established kinds Of wheat, without
chasing agricultural rainbows in the
hope of finding grain that will yield
a hundred bushels to the acre.

HUGHES ON BUSINESS METHODS

HUGHES ON BUSINESS METHODS.
No one will accuse Governor Hug
hes of New York of being in league
with trusts or predatory inter-
ests" and for that reason his address
at the opening of the Republican
campaign at Youngstown, Ohio,
should have wide influence and eff
feet. With the effective logic and
hard sense of a student and man of
affairs he disposes of Mr.. Bryan's
plan for curtai1ing the production of
goods by trust after it shall have
been able to produce certain per-
centage of the country's output. Mr..
Hughes shows clearly that this is
an entirely visionary, impracticable
and MISUNDERSTANDING plan, that
appeals much to the prejudice and lit
tie to the reason. 1t has much of
the attractiveness of Mr. Bryan's
silver fallacy of 1896 and any effort
to carry it into effect would be ac-
companied instantly with business
disasters and disturbance all through
the country. The business concern
that by system, industrial economy
and splendid coordination Of its bust

MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS
THE PASSING OF. THE ''sPELL-
BINDER I"

Whether it Is the photograph or
whether it is the evolution Of politi-
cal methods that has pushed the old
fashioned political spellbinder far In
the rear, we do not know, but 1t Is a
fact that the methods Of campaigning
have changed and the spellbinder,
who sold his services to his party
at stated sum per night Or per
week, and who gesticulated and ar
gued and pointed with pride" and
viewed with ALARM" is being pushed
off the stage. There was time when
no campaign was complete without
its torch-light professions, its music,
and its orators, VINO were usually
able, with difficulty, to defend one
side of the political cause or the 9th
er, it became necessary to
to make quick changes. Voter nova
days make more use of printed liter
ature, read the addresses of party
leaders more closely, and decide for
IuSMSSlSCS WudI pOl1tiCS e1iC DOSI 1nO
what parties best represent them.
This is not to say that oratory is a
lost art, and that people Will not lis
ten attentively to such leaders as Mr..
Roosevelt, Mr.. Taft or Mr.. Bryan,
or any distinguished representative
of political party or organization.
But the proportion of people that
hear speech Is inevitably small COM
pared with the number that reads
1t, and the habit of reading and an
alysis has become fixed with a great
share of our people, who do not
longer care for the stored efforts of
the. hired men-eloquent of either
party. * ~.
There is glamor and noise and
color about the old fashioned politi.
cal meeting that did not always make
for sound reasoning or good logic
and votes were more apt to be cast
under the spell of party obedience
than after a careful analysis of poll
Giles. We believe the new method
makes for better campaigning and
that the results will justify the
change. No political address will
stand dissection after its appearance
in cold type unless it bears logic and
truth with it. The magic of the ora
tor cannot be transferred to paper
and ink.

COVER.

Devils Lake, N. D., Sept. AFTER
robbing him of his money, stripping
him of his clothes and brutally beat
ing him, two fellow workmen of Frank
Elements Saturday night put the fin
ishing touches to one of the most bru-
tai eseapades in the history of the city,
by slashing his throat from ear to ear
and leaving him to face his death
alone. f., '7:"-s-+
Elements and two other workmen
from a threshing crew north of the
city came to town Saturday night
with some money, having received
their wages for the week on that day.
After visiting several stores in the
town the men sought a nights lodging
in the open near the Farmers mill
After Elements had fallen to sleep,
his two companions, whom he after
wards described as "Dagoes," whose
names he did not know, robbed him of
SGT, took his clothes, beat him and
then slashed his throat from ear to
ear, leaving him to die. They then
made their escape in the dark, and up
to a late hour last night no trace of
them had been found 8..i
After being robbed and cut, KLEIN
ents made a desperte effort to get to
the center of the city where he arous-
ed some of the citizens and told them
of his story. He was taken to the
hospital where DIR. sih1er took So
stitches in his throat, and he now has
hopes OF recovering.
1 The companion workmen have been
with Elements for several weeks on
q threshing trip. and up to last night
never showed and violent intentions
to him. He had neglected to learn
their names, and although it is known
where they worked, their exact names
have never been known. It is be.
Heved that they will be found, howev-
or, as Elements has good descrip.
ton OF them. So far as can be learn
ed the only motive of the dagoes for
attempting to murder the man is the
desire to get his money.
