has slipped off the yoke of ma
chine politics." The last state leg
.islature passed statewide primary
law. The primary election this fall
was its first test. The result was to
literally break the backbone of the
political machine.
The crucial test was on the re-
publican nominations for United
States senator and governor. The
names of Long and Leland and
Bristow and Stubs were linked to-
gether. Long and Leland repre-
scented machine" politics and Bris-
tow and Stubs represented re-
forms. The people voted to break
away from bossism and for reform.
The Long who was defeated Is
Chester |. Long, who was up for re-
nomination for the senate. He is
known in Washington as firm
friend of the railroads and cor
pOration man. At the old game of
manipulating legislatures he would
have been reelected.
Two years ago, when his own
people were clamoring for a read
justment of freight rates, he OPP
posed it. They insisted-he be-
came angry. His ultimatum was:
"You can discuss. but | vote And
he voted against it. There was no
primary law In Kansas then. The
next legislature enacted one. Then
the people voted and voted Long
out of office.
Longs running mate. candidate
for governor Cyrus Leland Jr., was
as representative of the machine as
Long himself. He has been a con
sistent opponent of reform move
ment in the Kansas legislature.
For years he has been known as
"Boss Cy."

the senatorial nomination from
Long, was the chief investigator of

club, as the railroad political Or

something of a Tartar in William

Mr.. Mathews received one of the

legislation The declared purpose
of the club is to defeat, if possible,
any candidate who does not oppose

all legislation that will protect the
people in their joint interests and
secure more equitable service.
am also convinced that in OPP.
posing such legislation, railway
men are in no wise protecting their
own interests. Your welfare is not
opposed to, but is in common with
the general public good. 1t may,
indeed. seem that the interests of
industrial classes necessarily
clash; but upon moro thorough
investigation 1t will be found that
the interests of the whole people
are identical. Equal and exact JUS
tice to each and all should be our
motto. Equal freedom is the great
est possible freedom the state can
secure to each The moment We
grant special privileges to the one
individual or class We necessarily
work an injustice upon all the rest
OF humanity.
| The conditions you cite CT idle
engines, cars and men the past
year must be accounted for upon
a more fundamental economic basis
than merely threatened unfriendly
legislation. If the building up OF
gigantic monopolies and high tar
ifs; protecting. special privileges
and concentrated wealth, Is any
guarantee of prosperity, we GER
tainly should be happy, prosper
Gus people. But while we have
taken larger dose of this pros
perity stimulant the past decade
than usual, an abundance of idle
men and capital and other evil
dences are not lacking to show
that the country is again in the
throes of a periodical depression.

Dawson Herald: Some time yes
terday fire, which is said to have
started over in Burleigh county, south
of Sterling, swept by a gale of wind
from the west passed along the north
side of Long Lake through Pleasant
Hill and Manning townships and on
the east, bearing little to the south,
doing considerable damage Most of
the damages reported are in town
heaviest losses were in a. The loses
of which we have been able to learn
were as follows:
Will Anderson, house and furniture,
several cattle.
Andrew Sundheim, barn.
Mrs.'Falconer, barn, calf and a
small quantity Of hay.
Knute Sundheim, barn, one horse,
granary, considerable quantity of
grain and small amount of hay.

hay.
Hans Omodt, five head of horses.
Herman Petersen, claim house and
furniture.
E. NJ Davidson, residence, furniture
and outbuildings
Mrs. Vanous, who lives over in Bur-
leigh, is also reported to have lost
barn, lot of poultry and a COW.
At this time We are unable to verify
the accuracy of these reports, and
there were doubtless other losses far
ther east which we have not been ap
prised of, the fire having swept
practically undated over into Liberty
and in the direction of German town

has ground down and destroyed, by
electric action, these great noun
tains of rock, some of them may still
be seen, projecting through the thin

earth's surface.
Now if all these elements were
once embodied in the solid granite
rock, then our sub-soil must contain
the same element as our rich surface
soil and the cry of exhausting the
soil is delusion, and all it needs, is
often and deep cultivation, so as
to expose it to the action of cold
and heat to separate the minute
particles Of plant food from each
other, so the moisture can absorb
them and carry them through the
root and trunk of the tree to the
leaf, where they are sorted and the
useful sent back to grow buds, fruit,
wood, bark and roots.
Thus, to cultivate our poorest soil
will eventually make it productive.
Frequent cultivation will cause a
healthy, vigorous growth of leaf,
bud, wood, bark and root system. A
tree filled with such healthy sap,
will be immuned from any disease.
To prove that the writer knows
what he is talking about, he has
never been sick day in his life;
never taken an ounce of medicine,
and never missed a meal when he
could get it. He hasn't the least
fear of the deadly disease. Those
deadly microbes and germs would
not live moment in his healthy

mediately expell them, or difest them
and use the elements of which they
are composed to repair his organi-
zation.

Horticultural nofes
By Frank Sinons

Science teaches us, in nature there
are two fundamental forces, the Gre
alive and the destructive. They are
always at war with each other.
Universal mentality is constantly
creating Causing something to
grow some organized object The
moment the object is completed the
destructive force cheat and cold)
predominates and starts in to destroy
the body and return it to the orig
inal elements of which it is compos-
ed. BY the action of the creative
force the material becomes again as
simulated into another organized
body.
Mentality invades all space. We
gather it in the food we eat and the
air we breathe. Material is the SER
want of mentality
If the material necessary to the
growth of an object is exhausted at
any time prior to it's completion and
the production of it's seed, or the
plant food is absorbed by stronger
organization. The destructive force,
ever on the alert watching for
weakness in the creative force
(Which is the strongest force) gives
battle and starts in to destroy the
created body Their law applies to
both the Vegetable and animal king
dom.
In the vegetable kingdom, the de-
structive force is shown in leaf
blight, fungus and parant growth,
and insect pests. Which are simply
new organizations, subsisting on the
destroyed elements of the body of
the plant. They would starve in try
ing to subsist on the material of the
healthy elements. of the healthy or
ganization. Such material is indi-
festable and causes dyspepsia.
In the animal kingdom the same
destructive force begins the moment
we are deprived of food and air
We have filled our mission as an or
ganized object.
Sexuality rules the world and all
there is in it. The one object of
creative power is to grow and pro-
duce each its own kind at the ex-
pense and obstruction Of every other
organization, even its own family if
needs be. When it has produced
its seed (fruit) to PROPAGATE and
perpetuate its specie, it's mission is
completed and the destructive force
Immediately proceeds to distroy it,
dissimulate the atoms of which 1t is
composed; to be again absorbed by
a new organization.

that there was period in the earth's
formation, when the whole earth's

has been the development.
The creamery broke all previous
records in February, paying thirty
seven cents per pound for butter fat
during the month. If this record can
be equalled in the state, will those
who know of it please let it be
known through the Tribune, as it is
of great interest to many milk pro-
ducers and should be made known.
The January price was 1896 cents
per pound. There are about 600 cows

usual sized milk check issued to each
farmer. The butter output has been
from $500 to 5000 pounds during the
winter months and about 1000 per
month as an average for the year. 1t
has been decided to erect new
