We'll stand for anything, includ-
ing ridicule" says Brother Bronson,
in the last Webster World. Now it
was, We think, unnecessary for him
to make that statement for the fact
is patent to all who have followed
the editorial position of the World
since Bronson's advent in this com
munity as its editor, and as to rid
icule he simply dotes on it-he is
always putting himself in a ridicu-
lous position before his readers, pre-
sumably so this paper will call atten-
ton to him, that he may pose as a
martyr to the cause. Notably in the
last issue Of the World he says:
There have been a few severe
structures in recent issues Of the
Reporter and Farmer on the repub-
lean governor Of South Dakota and
other prominent officials As Bro.

Ia former campaigns the World
has been strong on the plea to sup
port the man, not the party or prin-
ciple, but this campaign in the
senatorial proposition they are long
on principle. Can it be possible
that the World realizes that in their
candidate they have a mighty weak
sister from standpoint of manhood.

FOR CURRENCY COMMISSION
House Committee Favors Chairman
FowIer's Bill.

Washington, April 21.-The house
committee on banking and currency
voted to lay on the table the financial
bill offered by Representative Vree-
land of New York as substitute for
the Aldrich bill and decided to report
favorably the bill recently introduced
by Chairman Fowler providing for a
currency commission to consist of
members, eleven members
Of the senate. eleven members of the
house and twenty-one others, who
must be citizens of the United States.

were much greater in 1867, and
this includes telegraph, telephone,
express and sleeping car company
tax. So that conservative estimate
of miscellaneous receipts for 1907 8
would be S125,000.
Now let us look at another case OF
misrepresentation. He says that the
total assessed valuation in 1907 was
$3.50, 630,77, while the state auditors
report, page 3l4, shows 1t to be
1853, 236,S51. OF course, when a
man is a reformer, a million or so OF
a discrepancy doesn't count.
Now comes the most monumental
of all his claims. He figures the
1908 assessment at S2S0,00O, 900, an
increase of over S20,000,000 over
last year in spite of the fact that the
state board did not raise lands
materially and that personal prop
erty was in case of cows lowered 81
per head and as there were over
100000 cows last year there is a
million dollars of assessment to
make up from the new settlers. He
claims that this increase will be
made up by new lands being proved
up and new settlers coming in.
Doesn't he know that the majority
of new settlers west of the river
come from our own state and by far
the largest number will not prove
up for 3 to years? Does he pro-
fess to believe that new settlers and
new land opened up will be assessed
enough more to make the increase
S20,000,000? 1t is absolute rot Of
the pipe dream variety.
Now let us tabulate these fignres:

AlDRICH BILL KILLED.
House Committee Tables Measure by
Unanimou Vote.

Washington, April 1S.-The house
committee on banking and currency
has voted unanimously to table the
Aldrich currency bill, already passed
by the senate.
The discussion In committee was
brief. The only point debated was
as to whether or not the committee
should make formal report giving
its reasons to the house for its un-
favorable action and that the conclu-
sion was finally reached that no rea-
sons should be given. Consequently
the committees report will be a mere
statement of the action of the COM
mittee,

Some say that we should send
Crawford to the senate so that we
would have some one to work with
Senator Gamble; but rather, it would
be better to have one good, always
working senator, than two poor ones.

Add to this the amount of take
that never will be paid, about 3 per
cent or S5S, PSI, makes a total defic-
iency of over 100000 and that does
not include the S250,000 which they
claim they inherited from the stall
warts.
He then says that he was fair in
not deducting bond interest levy
from 1903 taxes in the "official
statement" which appeared some
time ago because some stalwarts had
not deducted the Irvine plant levy in
some article last fall. That is con-
elusive, isn't it. He says that l am
not fair because | do not deduct the
l mill deficiency levy which he says
was levied to pay stalwart deficit
l did not deduct that because that
levy was not made to pay stalwart
deficiency. Why doesn't he want
me to deduct the 2 mill deficiency
levy that will be made in 1908.
That will also be deficiency levy
but whose deficiency will that pay?
1t was never meant to pay any
deficiency except their own and fig
ures show that it will not even pay
all of theirs. If the stalwarts left
them deficiency of $3.50, 900, this,
together with their own of $500, 900
or total of S65O,000 must be left
for the next administration to cut
down as fast as possible. What do
you think OF a bunch of reformers
like these, claiming to pay stalwart
debts when they will leave one OF
their own very much greater?
He then admits my figures on the
increase to be correct but asks what
S1.15 year on each quarter section
amount to. 1t amounts to over
IS, 900 year to the farmers of Day
and as far as the Irvine plant
tax is concerned, / want to say that
have not taken that into considera.
ton at all at any time but have
always deducted it. AS to local
taxes, / will say that if Mr.. Grue
wants to know why they are what
they are, ana Will submit lew QueS- |
tions on this proposition l will
endeavor to enlighten him in SUBJ
sequent issue.
It is rather pitable to see the noble
effort Mr.. Grue has made in the
interests of a waning cause and his
want of candor is censurable, but
you know something had to be done
and of course deception" is the
word which stands at the head OF
the insurgent vocabulary to be used
in all cases even if the truth would
suffice.
Mr.. Grue has evidently been
close student of "Crawford's voters
hand book" and especially page 18.

Buy At Home.

A reason for buying from home
merchants, that should be long re-
membered by some of the citizens of
this county has been given in the past
few weeks.
For several weeks representatives
of large stove concern in st. Louis
have been canvassing this county
selling kitchen ranges. They ask S76
for this range and we understand have
sold large number at this price.
Two of Hillsboro hardware merchants
handle ranges made by this concern
of practically the same style and
grade. What is their regular price
for this range? $50. This range sold by
loc al merchants is made by the sa me
concern and the same guarantee as Is
placed on the ranges sold by the can
vassers is given by them.
The reason why larger price must
be charged for the stoves that are
sold by canvassing is very plain. The
men doing the work must be paid,
their living expenses and the cost of
keeping two horses Is considerable
and the man that buys the stove pays
this expense. The s46 over the regu-
lar price by the retail merchant is
added by the manufacturer to cover
this additional expense in making the
rule.
If you have bought one of these
ranges let it teach you to patronize
your home merchants aud try and
remember that all they expect to
make is a reasonable profit on their
labor and capital. Remember also
that people don't come to your homes
at great expense to themselves solely
for your benefit, that the man that
is here to-day and gone tomorrow
may "harpoon" you.
Buy at home and in the long run
you will be better OF.

An Undesirable Citizen.

A business man In Hillsboro was
heard to make the following remark
a short time ago, "I have no interest
In the people of this town or county
nor in what they are doing. don't
know them nor do I want to know
them"
Such a man is an undesirable resi-
dent for any community and the
sooner he leaves the better for the
town. His statement that he has no
interest in the people or their doings
shows that ne is poor business man
and does not know what he is talking
about as his success In business de-
pends on their success, his prosperity
on the prosperity of the town. The
man who does not want to know the
people among whom he Is living and
upon whom his livlihood depends will
never be of any benefit to the people
or the community in which he resides
but instead will be detriment and
injurv.
We can not understand why a man
will stay when he cares nothing for
the people or their dolngs. Surely he
can not be making much of a success
when he has this feeling and we can
assure him that there will be gener-
al gladness and rejoicing among the
people If he should leave. 1t may be
that he noes not want to do anything
that would give the people pleasure
and stays on simply to spite them.
A knocker of the town is bad
enough but man without interest
in 1t Is worse for the knocker may
point out things which hurt the town
and secure changes but the don't
care" man will always be burden
almost too heavy to bear. We GER
tainly hope that we may soon be able
to chronicle his departure.

service, led bv A. L. Carey.
Two splendid papers, one on "Pri-
mary Work, by Mrs. Matte G. Perry,
and the other, Junior and Interme-
date Work." by G. L. Yochum, were
read. The papers we're full of good
things.
An interesting Round Table was
conducted.

School work of the county.
The hearts and homes OF the good
people of Mowrystown were hospita-
bly, thrown open to all visiting dele

erous hospitality and Christian fell
lowship, which was so helpful in max
ing the convention so full of inspira-
