reply for you "yes," and you do
not deny it.
Then has it not turned out in
nearly all years that you saw in
a few weeks that it had been a

there has been more to take care
of than you expected, and that
new binders, new headers and even
new threshers have been purchas-
ed for actual use, and not for mere
display? Yes, again.
These being facts, why is it
that SO many people forget them
regularly every blessed summer
when the dry spell arrives, on it's
schedule time. What a lot of
nervous force is wasted in getting
scared too soon. How much bet
ter to pause and reflect on the
way things have turned out near=
ly every previous year, and save
this worrying about dry and hot
weather for the good old winter
time, when it would do you some
good and be pleasant to think Of
Three years ago farmer told
us one hot July day that crops
we're gone up; wouldn't be any
harvest for any of us. Three or
four weeks later he came back to
get us to join him and four others
in buying a new threshing rig, as
our thresh bill would pay for our
interest that season and next we
would have dividend. He had
no trouble showing us, but we
were not ready for a thresher, so,
did not join. He was right tho
on the basis, for our thresh bill
was $3.50 on the "no harvest" crop,
while the fool bought a steam rig
discounted the payment in three
months, and cleared the outfit.
The dry weather scare was forgot

Now, our democratic friends,
why not discount the scare every

Regarding Hansbrough's Intentions.

Grand Forks, N. D.-Aug. g.
There is much speculation as to
what Senator II. G. Hansbrough
intends to do. Several intimate
friends say that he will abide by
the decision of the voters at the
June primary election and will
make no attempt to secure his re-
election in the legislature next
winter. He has been very guard
ed in his statements since the pri-
mary election, but says he will
''abide by the law
By citizens generally this is TAX
en- to mean that he will make no
effort to secure his reelection, but
by others the senator's declaration
is taken to mean that be- will abide
by the law if it is law. If it is un-
constitutional, it is not law that
must be observed. It is known
that several of the senator's lead
ing supporters are anxious to have
him stay in the race in case the
primary election provision relat-
ing to senators should be declared
unconstitutional.
Already there is much talk about
the senatorial race of two years
hence. McCumber, the McKen-
zie candidate, will have the fight of
his life. That he has not strength
ened his cause by his attitude in
the primary election is generally
conceded. The fate Of Little in
the primary election is pointed
out as a sort Of warming to Nc
Cumber as to what happens to the
avowed Mckenzie senatorial can
didate in North Dakota.

Cumber has been boosting the

DENUNCIATION
Of The COURTS
Lack Of Patriotism Cause Of Abuse
of Laws, Courts and Govern
ment In General


Des Moines Capital: There is
less respect for law and the courts
now than at any time in thirty
years. The thoughtful citizen is
asked to explain this circumstance,
if he can.
It cannot be said that efforts are
not made to enforce the law.
Neither can it be said that enforce
ment is more lax than formerly.
The truth is that the courts are
vigilant. Juries as a rule are
prompt. Convictions are reason
ably certain, where convictions are
proper.
Then why does the lawless
spirit prevail? The answer is
found in the state Of public feel
ing toward lawmakers and the
courts. There has been such a
wholesale denunciation Of congress
that millions of people have come
to the belief that there is not an
honest man in congress. A dis
belief in congress causes some men
to feel that they have license to
disbelieve in and to disobey laws.
The spirit of lawlessness is found
in every community. Around
every stove in every place where
men congregate, the government
is criticised. The motives of all
men are questioned.
Who is responsible for this state
of affairs? We PROFOUND the in
quiry over and over again. The
answer is, that public speakers
have ceased to talk patriotism.
They are all critics. Republicans
who were formerly warm defend
ers of the law have developed into
severe critics of the same. The
old soldiers were for thirty years
the defenders of law, but they are
old, and are no longer powerful,
although they are doing their best.
The logic of the situation is that
we are reaping as we have sown.
Public speakers have been preach
ing disloyalty and disrespect for
law and the harvest is at hand.
When senators and governors take
the platform and tell the people
that the government is corrupt
from foundation stone upward, is
it surprising that the people do
not respect the courts? The re-
spect for law is matter of edu-
cation. When a boy is allowed to
belong to a secret society in
high school against the express
orders of the board of education
he is taught a lesson of lawlessness
and disloyalty which will affect
his entire life. Our best patriots
have been the soldiers Of the civil
war, who were taught respect for
law in the dark days, and who
learned to love the flag as no one
has ever learned to love it since.
If we would put an end to the
reign Of lawlessness we must tenn
per criticism, and in every speech
tell the people that there is more
good than bad in men and more
good than bad in the government.
.O&ce seekers must be taught
that there is a limit to their en-
deavors, when the denunciation
of the other men is considered.
Every man cannot go up and
down the country denouncing the
law without destroying the respect
for the law.

"You shall not press down Upon the
brow of labor this crown Of thorns. You
shall not cruelty mankind upon a cross
of gold.'
ard. The mighty chasm widened at
the convention. Congressman Richard
P. Bland of Missouri, ''Silver Dick"
the old war horse of the free silver
coinage movement, was the logical and
apparently the inevitable candidate for
the presidency. His nomination SEEM
ed to be a certainty until a thing hap
pened hitherto unprecedented in Amer
lean politics.
Bryan of Nebraska, known as "the
silver tongued orator" and 'the boy
orator Of the Platte" mounted the plat
form and delivered q brief but bold
and masterful speech. His vibrant
voice rang out yer the heads of the
$4,000 persons in the vast hall, pene-
trating with clarion intonation to the
farthest corners The customary up
roa Of a great political convention,
which the strongest Of oratorical lungs,
as q rule. cannot quell entirely, was
hushed into ~unbreathing awe. No such
eloquence yer before had been heard
in 4 national convention. The man
and the occasion had met. and the man
had mastered the occasion. The adj
dress was an impassioned appeal for
bimetallism and an exalted glorifica-
ton of the new Democratic financial
doctrine. When the orator closed with
his epoch making metaphor of "the
cross of gold and crown Of thorns''
the enthusiastic appreciation Of his
sentiments and of the man himself
was indicated by a whirlwind Of APP
plause beyond description.
And William Jennings Bryan was
nominated for the presidency OF the
United States.
Flashed to the remotest reaches of
the nation, the news was the most SEN
sational political titbit that ever took
the wires. Bryan was but one year
above the minimum age required by
the constitution of the United States
for a president. While some Of his
speeches in congress a few years be-
fore had given him a momentary repu-
tation, he was practically unknown to
the nation at large. and particularly
so to the great eastern section of the
country. Never before had q great
party nominated for president a man
living west of the Mississippi river.
Never before had so young a man
been nominated. Never before had an
orator won the great prize by a single
speech. Democrats. Republicans, Pop
ulists, everybody wondered how the
newcomer would conduct himself in
the campaign.
Presently the wonder turned to
amazement. Young Mr.. Bryan was a
campaigner-there was no doubt as to
that. He injected into American poll
tics a presidential campaign such as
the nation never knew before. Men
called it a whirlwind campaign, and
such it was. The whirlwind road was
the railroad, and it carried the candi-
date up and down and across the land
upon an amazing schedule Of travelling
and talking. Mr.. Bryan travelled in
that campaign more than $4,000 miles
and delivered considerably more than
1000 speeches.. He made forty-nine
speeches in N day in New York
state. Thirty-fve addresses, short and

in that convention to the vast throng
which had waited and sweated and
fretted all night long just to hear him
a speech which for pathos and power
and thrill no inveterate convention fol
lower ever heard equaled. The Demo-
cratic ticket, Judge Alton B. Parker
of New York and ex-senator Henry G.
Davis of West Virginia, was defeated
in November ineNpressibly worse than
was Bryan in either of his campaigns.
The discovery of vast deposits of
gold in Alaska and elsewhere since the
free silver campaigns has eliminated
the money issue from politics. Mr..
Bryan has accepted this fact and now
stands upon other Democratic issues.
Despite all opposition, he has domi-
mated the national Democracy for
twelve years. For several years past
he has given expression to his views
in the weekly journal, the Commoner,
which he established at Lincoln. He
has removed to q fine farm near Lin
coin, built a commodious residence and
become known throughout the world
as the great American commoner,"
titular successor to Henry Clay. He
has travelled around the world and
written his impressions for q. syndicate
of American newspapers. He has been
for years the most popular and highest
paid lecturer on the American lyceum
and Chautauqua circuits. 1t is said
that his income from lecturing alone
is as much as $4,000 a year. the presi-
dents salary.
Mr.. Bryan is a total abstainer from
alcohol and tobacco. He is a member
of the Presbyterian church and never
works on Sunday. ave to deliver a re-
ligious address now and then. His
ideal is morality. personal. political
and civic. The Bryan Of 1908 looks
older than the Bryan of 1896, but he is
no less vigorous and virile than he was
when his voice flashed across the con-
tinent from the Chicago convention hall.
