TAT It's UNITARIAN
Possibly one of the most disturb
ing OF the troubles now that beset
the Republican partisans is n real-
ization that in William II. Taft they
have candidate who seems to have
no sort understanding OF the raw
est rudiments of the political game.
They say be Is very willing and very
tractable--too willing and too tract
able-ready at any time to go for
whatever to where the firing line is
hottest. They look at the towering
advances of William j. Bryan and
then turning to the wide figure of
William III. Taft, are manifestly sick
and nervous and dispirlted. The
stomach of the Republican body po-
little may be said to be very much
out of order, suffering from inabil-
ityto digest the food handed TO it by
Its chief caterers, Roosevelt, Taft,
Hitchcock, ct al.
Undoubtedly the smashing antics
OF William X. Hearst is affording a
great deal of public entertainment,
especially his assaults upon the 9th.

effort to impale Mr.. Bryan he has

Huntington, w. va, Sept. 25.-
Although Arnold G. Scherr and his
associates on the Lincoln Republi-
can ticket have Withdrawn from the
field the opposition which shey
aroused against tho Elkins machine
Is still living and breathing and
there is little prospect that w. r..
Glasscock the candidate dictated by
Eikins himself can overcome this
opposition and win in November.
The action which sounded the
death knell Of the Lincoln party
was taken Thursday night after a
day Of uncertainty and uneasiness.
The final decision was made be-
tween one O'Clock and midnight and
was a part Of a resolution which
denounced Bl&ins and placed the
responsibility Of Glasscock's election
upon him and the state committee.

GOATS ARE GOOD WEED KILLERS
Walla WaIla Ranchers Will Try Them
on Their Farms.

A Walla Walla item says: Farmers
in this section where grain growing is
the principal occupation are wondering
if th1 weed pest cannot be controlled
ty beeping goats. This year Jim
Hill mustard, China lettuce and tar
weed have secured hold on many of
the farms to great extent. and the
grain will be docked On account Of the
weed seed and smut found in it. For
years farmers have been worried about
the weed pest, and many of them have
spent hundreds of dollars in keeping
their own land clean, but the road
ways and fence lines and railroad
rights of way have given ample oppor-
tunity for weeds to propagate and al
low the seed 10 blow all over the
country.
Professor James Withycombe of the
Oregon Agriculture college in trip
over this section recommended keep
ing few goats upon each farm, with
the idea of having the animals eat
down the weeds and keep the roads
and fences clear during the growing
season. Mr.. WithycomEe cites the
case of the Willamette valley farmers,
who had to resort to the use of goats
to clear their land of noxious weeds,
and to the further fact that all over
that section farmers will not give up
the animals under any circumstances.
1t is claimed that weeds cannot go to
seed where goats are kept in numbers
sufficient TO forage over the land, and
that seldom do the animals destroy
crops while weeds are to be found.
In this section goats have not been
tried. but sheep have been kept in
small numbers.

CHILDREN MOURN DEAD BIRDS
Cover Little Bodies With Flowers,
They Offer Prayer.

Three hundred children in Chicago
wept and older persons turned faces
away Thursday when the youngsters
gave public burial to more than 1000
birds which lost their lives in a terrific
storm. The little, fluffy, lifeless
bodies were consigned to one generous
grave liued with roses and covered
tenderly with leaves and wild flowers.
Before the earth was sboveled into
the grave one of the larger boys in a
voice broken with emotion read the
following prayer, prepared ny one of
his older friends:
"We are very sorry, dear God, that
all these poor birds had TO die for we
would like to have them stay around in
the trees. but we needed rain and we
hope that you will take them all to
heaven. Please make us kind to all
animals and birds. Amen"
Two little girls in the audience wept
profusely and the boys made various
shifts to conceal their emotion as the
grave was filled and covered with
leaves and other floral offerings.

attached to him and would not give
him up until forced to do so. "The
child has never been out of the Blue
mountains and not over ITO miles
away. and was held months on the
UmatiIla reservation.
Then follows a long TRADE against
Sheriff Till Taylor of Umatilla county
and against Chief of Police Davis of
Walla Walla. in which they are ac.
cused of having been after the reward
and cared nothing for the feelings of
the parents.

POTATOES KEEP FOR YEARS
In Deep Underground Cellars Scheme
Proved in Montana.

The potato growers of Greg OH have
something to learn from Minnesota.
If the Minnesota method of keeping
potatoes is practica5l le here, there is
no reason why the tubers should not be
kept in perfect condition as long as
anyone desires TO hold them.
The big potato cellars are dug to
depth of so to 100 feet, where the
temperature is always low but above
the freezing point. At the bottom of
these immense underground store
houses the spuds are deposited. and
there the growers can keep them almost
indefinitely. 1t is said potatoes have
been kept in this way years and being
taken out in perfect shape.
Over the big pits are built sorting
and packing houses land the floors of
these, which are the ceilings of the
cellars, are very tightly constructed so
as to exclude air aud heat from the
surface of the ground. In these deep
storehouses the potatoes, instead of
sprouting after they have lain there
for several months, merely germinate
squills at the eyes, which rub off read
lily in handling.
The Minnesota potato men have the
system down to such point that they
can store their potatoes at times of low
prices and hold them until the market
is better without fear of loss even
should they have to hold them for two
years. 1t is said that the climatic
conditions would make it impossible
to make use of the system here, but
this has not as yet been demonstrated,

MAKES HIS ESCAPE
Convict Breen, Who Pretended to Know
Whereabouts of Cecil Britain
Proves Himself False.

James Breen, the ex-convict, who
was granted conditional pardon if
be would return little Cecil Br1ttan,
who disappeared while the family was
in camp at Toll Gate July Is, 1906,
Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock de-
oamped, leaving Deputy Sheriff Butler,
cf Spokane. and Mr.. and Mrs. Brittan,
who had accompanied him to the
mountains near Toll Gate, waiting
longingly for his return.
Thus, once more have the hopes of
the lost child's parents been crushed,
and heaItless convict with a scared
conscience is at liberty. =.
Breen, who is desperate criminal
has served two terms in the Walla
Walla penitentiary. During the time
the Brittan boy disappeared, he claims
to have been employed at Fletcher g
sawmill and informed the officers, who
had again made his arrest on crimi-
nal charge, that he knew where the
boy was aud that if a pardon was
granted him, he would deliver the
child to his parents.
Graspiug at straw, the parents
prevailed on the officers to accede to
Breen's request, with the result above
stated.
Breen, according to the story told
by Mr.. Britain, started out to get the
boy at o'clock aud was TO have re-
turued within given time. But after
having waited for several hours for the
return of the ex-conviot, Deputy But
Ter and Mr.. and Mrs. Britain, after
notifying the authorities in Walla
Walla that Breen had escaped, started
for that city, and arrived there at 10
O'Clock.
IN his statement, dictated some time
before he made trip to Lewiston to
get the boy, Breen says that Cecil was
kidnapped as he came out of the store
at Toll Gate; that he was picked up by
two parties living in the mountains,
names only known to himself; not ex-
pecting to get Cecil. but the child of
John Smith, who had more money to
back it up. The kidnappers expected
to get $4,000.
According to the statement which
was bold for rielease until after the boy
had been delivered to his parents,
Breen says the child was held captive
two and Que half miles from Toll
Gate for one week, and was later
turned over to family who became

NICHOLS REPLIES
T0FATHER CONWAY

These practices against the dead,
and worse one against the living, are
what caused the revolution against
Spain in 1896.
These and thousands more facts
are matters of history and are incon-
trovertible.
IL is silly for an obscure priest in
America, who seldom gets from un-
der the smoke of his own chimney,
to attempt to defend priesthood
that was so VIGOROUSLY corrupt that
it was a disgrace to the cloth, a
shame to the church and curse to
the people.
One of the causes of the American
Filipino revolution was that the U. S.
would not and could not exclude the
friars without violating the constitu-
tion, and the Filipinos would not be
pacified until America agreed to buy
the friar lands as n compromise.
Because the people rebelled against
the priesthood it does not follow that
they rebelled against the church.
They are more devout today than
their brethren of America What |
mean is that no Chinese or Hindus
are more, devout in the worship of
their idols than is the Filipino of his,
and with the same motive and the
same intelligence.
Your affectionate brother,

TRYING TO GET THE
CATTLE OUT OF SNOW

The cattlcmen of this section have
been busy the past week trying to
get their cattle out of the noun
tains where they have been snow
bound since the last storm They
have succeeded in getting out nearly
ali in fairly good condition consider
ing the time they were there. About
coo head of steers which have been
on this range during the grazing sea-
son have been purchased from vari-
GUS cattlemen by G.. e. Mower and
Jack Killian of Delta, who in turn
will ship these to Ballentine & Beggs
in the Plateau Valley where they will
be fed during the winter. For the
past four seasons this latter firm has
been buying Surface Creek cattle and
holding them on their big hay ranches
across the range and have always re-
ceived the highest price for these cat
tie of any sent to the big markets.
One reason is the fact that steers
come off these ranges in the very

Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1908-01-08

Editor Wesenberg of the Duluth
Skandinav, a rock-ribbed republic
an and one who almost worships
Roosevelt, pays the following re-
markable tribute to Gov. Johnson:
Suppose that the republican
party this year dominates Roosevelt
as it's presidential candidate, and
that the democratic party dominates
Minnesota s governor John A. John
son. These men are both known
over the entire country as both hon
est and able; everybody knows that
neither trusts nor corporations nor
political bosses can dictate to either
of them. Whichever one of them
should be elected would give the
country an honest and able govern
ment-the question would only be:
shall we continue what is we'll un-
derstood as Roo@evelt's policy, or
shall we be satisfied with the dem.
ocratic tariff reform, where they
insist that the tariff is responsible
for the existence of the trusts?
The candidates themselves are both
honorable men and among the ablest
in the country, both of them. The
great mass of the people know that
as far as Roosevelt and johnson
personally are concerned they can
with full confidence rely Just as
much on one as on the other.'
