PARTY POLICIES AND CROPS.

Secretary James Wilson of the de-
partment of agriculture declared the
other day that the United States has
not suffered crop failure since the
beginning of the Mckinley admins
tration. "There has not been fail
IRE of crops in this country for
twelve years." is the statement of the
secretary.
1--WE do not anticipate crop failures
nowadays in this country. Every year
there is some locality where some crop
is not as good as usual. Corn and
grass suffered on account of the
drought in good many localities this
year, but there win never again be
any general failure of crops. They
may be short here or yonder, but sci
ence has taught our farmers how to
defy the weather as far as crop grow
ing is concerned"
DO you attribute these great crops
TO republican administration? was the
question asked by William f. Curtis.
''Well, we don't quite claim that,
hut we do claim that the republican
administration, with liberal appropria-
tions, made by republican congress,
has been able to encourage and in
struct the farmers in producing new
crops and better crops, and to make
the most of their labor; and the re-
publican party since Mckinley came
in has protected labor and kept labor
at work so that the working people
of the country have had money to
buy the products of the farm. In
that sense no one can deny that the
republican has helped the farmer"
When questioned about the meat
exports, the secretary replied:
II have not the figures for the last
year at hand" said Secretary Wilson,
but the amount is very large. The
meat product does not increase, the
heards of cattle do not grow as fast
as the population. We do not raise
enough meats for ourselves, and yet
a large proportion of the product is
exported, because wealthy people in
foreign countries will have our beef,
no matter what it costs. They are
willing to pay more for it than people
of this country, and very naturally, it
seeks the highest market. Our finest
meats and grains go abroad for that
reason"

THE MODERN NEWSPAPER.

Herbert Kaufman, who, few days
ago, delivered an address before the
Council of Jewish Women in Chicago,
held the newspapers up in the lime
on his film only what his camera
records, and it is his duty to ar
range his news so as to honestly re-
feet what has taken place in the acti-
vities of the people.
The newspapers are the real pro-
tectOrs of both the city and the nation.
They are gigantic voices which shrek
out the truth. The penny which you
pay at the newsstand for newspaper
gives you a guardian over your well
fare. Think of the many who follow
the life of drudges and live within a
circumscribed sphere. If it was not
for the warnings sounded to these peo-
pie in the press they would be unable
TO guard against many pitfalls.
Newspapers have achieved remark
able results in policing the morals of
cities. After all, the newspaper pub
Usher is guided by the peoples will
His daily sales reflect the number OF
votes that have been cast in his favor
If the truth about life is impure, don't
blame the editor. Go back farther
than that and cure the condition
That is what the editor wants YOU
to do. He is merely locating cesspools
for you, so that You may avoid them
and also help to clean them out. Il
an editor finds a cesspool and does
not expose it, he is false to his trust
1t is his duty to point out the mora
lepers and the danger spots.
1T was what has been called yellow
journalism which brought about tn.
prosecution of the Standard Oil com
pany. 1t took a great deal of nagging
but the end finally was accomplished
1t was the yellow press which placed
Morse behind prison bars and caused
the exposure of the insurance frauds
Yellow journals have reduced the mum
Der of divorces, and in the ThaN
case brought home to many of tn,
ThawNesbit type that persons in tha
class cannot escape punishment fo
their misdeeds, even with the aid O.
money. You may call journalism O
that kind yellow, but perhaps it is tn,
yellow of sunlight, bringing the trutl
before our gaze"

Defeat Madelia On a Field That
Was White With Snow.
REAL COAL TRUST WEATHER
Result, Eleven to Nothine, Players
Lee, Pond, Thaysr and Jones Cred
tied With Star Work.
From Mondays Daily.

On a field covered with snow and
with the temperature at a point popu-
lar with the "coal trust" Mankato
defeated Madelia Saturday by the score
of IL to 0. The game was played
at the fair grounds and the faithful
few who turned out went away salts
fled. Fur coats and mittens were more
appropriate for the day than football
suits but both teams were game and
played well despite the cold.
The condition of the field made
fast work impossible and fumblng was
frequent, because of the slippery ball.
When runner was downed he would
come up wiping the snow out of his
eyes, warm his hands and go into the
scrimmage again. The ball became
so wet and muddy that when for
ward pass was attempted the ball
went wild and generally resulted in
a penalty for the side trying it, This
was especially true in the second half.
Mankato being penalized repeatedly for
failure to recover the ball.
Maroon and Cream in Evidence
The maroon and cream demonstrated
that they could play the old game as
well as the new. In the first half
most of the ground gained was through
the terrific line plunging of Lee and
forward passes to Jones. The cater
made some very~clever catches of the
passes to him and more than once
electrified the crowd by pulling down
the ball when it seemed an impossi-
bility, once he jumped up in crowd
of Madelia payers, caught the ball
on his finger-tips and hung onto it
in spite of the combined efforts of his
opponents. In the second half Man.
kato gained most of her ground on
end runs by Pond and Thayer The
two half backs circled first one end and
then the other for good gains, always
assisting each other and fighting for
the last inch Pond often dragged
Thayer three or four yards after he
was tackled, and when he himself car
ried the ball was very hard to stop.
Both men lodged well and made fire..
quent use of the "stiff arm"
Where Madelia Failed.
Madelia failed to make first down
once during the game, Mankato's line
proved to be a tough proposition for
the orange and black backs and they
soon gave up hope of gaining through
it or around the ends resorting in
stead to plays off tackle.

Speakefship Contest and the Relative
Strength Of Different Sections. =

From Tuesdays Daily.
As usual in the organization of, the
Minnesota house, much will be done by
district cancuses, says The Minneapolis
Journal. When all the republican
members from district Join in the
Endorsement of a candidate, as the fifth
has done for l.. H. Johnson, it has more
weight than the individual pledges, for
there are many members who are
chiefly anxious to pick winner in
the contest. Much depends on the
front candidate is able to present.
The seventh district members are al
ways active in a, speakership fight,
and are taking leading part in this.
An effort will be made to get a
seventh district caucus early and place
the twelve votes from the seventh for
A. j. ROckne. The strength of the
congressional districts in the republi
can causus of house members will be
uneven this time, owing to the demo
cratic gains in southern Minnesota.
The political division by districts will

WANTED TO KILL HIMSELF
Robert :. Brooks Gave Himself Up,
Fssr He Would Do Harm.


A pathetic incident occurred in this
city last week, says The Waseca Radi-
cal. Thursday morning man giving
his name as Robert +. Brooks, came
into DR. Lynn's office acting very,
strangely. The doctor, noticing that
the man was in somewhat irrational
condition, kindly asked him what he
could do to assist him. Then the
man told him that he had been in
the insane asylum two or three times
and that he was just let ont of the
Rochester asylum on probation about
three weeks ago. He said that he had
a mania for taking his own life and
that for about two weeks after his
release from the asylum he felt all
right and this craving seemed to leave
him, but last Thursday while in Man
katO, the fiendish desire of self de-
struction again came upon him, and
fearing that he would do so, he board
ed the train, intending to go back to
the asylum voluntarily, but upon get
ting this far on his journey, he was
afraid that he would walk off the
train while it was moving, so he stop
ped off here. DR.. Lynn, upon the
mans personal request, took him to
Judge of Probate Wilson, who put
him in the hands of the sheriff. He
was placed in the county jail and the
authorities at the Rochester asylum
were notified and an official from that
institution arrived Sunday and took
him back that evening.
