inordinate profit of the few. Society,
through its organized governments,
must see to it that special privilege is
abated and the fruits of production
given wider distribution. When the
cost of producing an article is
cheapened, the saving must not all go

the medium of lower prices. This m

It means fair profits to the men IN

the lowest possible prices to the
people consistent with these necessi-
ties. If these results cannot be ac-
complished by public regulation OF
the monopolies that have been created

there is one other way, and that. too,
is inevitable: the substitution of public

A BATTLE LOST-A, WAR BUT BEGUN
Election Conclusion of Vim. J. Bryan.

It would have been pleasant to have
been able to reward worthy Demo
Gratis with official positions, but the
most worthy of the Democrats are not
looking for political positions, they
are looking for good government, and
they labor unselfshly for the promo
ton of good government.
:sThey will neither be discouraged
nor dismayed by defeat. They Can
not cease to be interested in the gov
eminent, for Indifference would only
invite worse abuses than those from
which we now suffer. The fight must
be continued because good govern
ment is the richest leg cy that par
ent can leave to child.
GAS for myself, let no one worry
about my future. The holding of Of
fee is mere incident in the life of
those who are devoted to reforms.
The reform is the essential thing. If
one can advance reforms by holding
office, then the holding of Office is
justifable; if one can best advance
reform as private citizen, then the
holding of Office is undesirable.
ssThe world owes me nothing; I
have been abundantly compensated
for what [ have been able to do. My
life will not be long enough to repay
the people for their support and for
the confidence which they have ex-
pressed. My gratitude for those with
whom I have labored surpasses Ian
guage, and the days of the future will
be devoted to work in the interest of
the people as I understand that in
terest, and in behalf of those reforms
which seem to me to be the best.
81 invite the cooperation of those
who approve, and | shall not be de-
TERED by the criticism of those who
disapprove. With an abiding faith
in the triumph of the truth and an un-
faltering confidence in the righteous
ness Of our cause, [ speak this word
of encouragement to those who call
themselves friends. I shall keep step
with them and march on. The meas
ure Of our work cannot be taken in a
day. If we are right, as I believe we
are, it will vindicate us; if we con.
tribute, as [ believe we are contrib.
uting, to country that is founded or
Justice, our efforts will weigh in the
final victory"
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1908-11-18

ssThe election of 1908 is over and
the returns disclose a signal victory
for our opponents, but the principles
for which our party stands, the pol
icies for which our party contends
these are not dead. A good PROPOSE
ton is not made bad by its rejection
at the polls; a needy reform is not
made unnecessary by an adverse vote
The legislation asked for by the Dem
ocratic party in its national platform

manent advantage when it is secured.

Does anyone believe that the trusts
will be permitted to permanently ex-
plot the masses?
"Does any one believe that the con-
sumer will permanently permit the

that the fifteen millions of depositors

ieoparized as at present?
"Does any one believe that the ex-

WHAT IS TO BE DONE WITH THE TRUSTS?
From The Duluth Herald.

and the result is an appalling crop of
plutOcratic fortunes which are an in
jury alike to those that gained them
and to those from whose necessities
they were wrung.
70 let one great corporation do the
work of a hundred smaller corpora
tions, thousand still smaller firms
and individual operators, and a hun
dred thousand one-man shops, is to
achieve economy and facility; indeed,
business could not possibly be done
today by the primitive methods in
vogue before the coming of the corpo-
ration. The coming of the small
corporation simply heralded the
coming Of the large corporation, and
the large corporation simply forecasts
the coming of the monopoly; this is
evolution, this is progress.
In spite of the vast benefits resulting
from this evolution, the lot of the
average man is little better than be-
fore; good case can be made for the
proposition that is essentially worse.
Hence the outcry against the trusts.

New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1908-11-18

With the Roosevelt administration
nearly ended and the campaign entire
ly out of the way, the trusts are still
with US, and so is the question of what
is to be done with them. The abuses
of the tariff that created most of them
are not likely to be abated, for the
"revision' to which the Republican
party is pledged is in the hands of the
same men that perpetrated the abuses,
so the iniquities Of the the tariff are
in little peril.
What should be done with the
trusts? ''Bust'' them? That is a
silly cry, an echo of the alarms that
followed the first Introduction of labor
saving machinery which threatened
vast harm to labor, but which have,
ia the end, given larger and better
employment to labor. To talk about
''busting the trusts" is exactly as
logical as the old talk about destroy
ing laborsaving machinery; the cases
are exactly analogous. The working
man never got his share Of the benefits
from improved machinery, and the
public has Lot yet had its share of the
benefits from cooperative industry;
yet there are great benefits in both
cases. All it amounts to is that
society has been careless enough to
let special privilege reap the harvest,

MUCH FOR WHICH TO BE GRATEFUL
Governor, in Thanksgiving Pro-
cIamation, Tells Of States
Material Prosperity.

Calling attention to the fact that the
people of Minnesota have much to be
thankful for and little to regret at the
close of another year OF creation,
growth and fruition, Governor John
son has issued proclamation desig-
mating Thursday Of next week as a
day of general thanksgiving. AS a
prelude to his proclamation he says:
1--WE are come once again to the
season of the year when natures
ever-recurrent task of creation, growth
and fruition has been accomplished.
For nature and for man, in SO far as
his pursuits are closely related to or
determined by natural processes, the
year is done, the task accomplished,
the reward won. Now is at hand
natures rest time, when she prepares
herself for another period of activity
and fruitfulness. And though man
may not rest in the shop and in the
office, yet the tiller of the soil finds the
winter period one of comparative
quiet. Ours is still an agricultural
state, great as are it's manifold manu-
featuring industries, and the end of
the seasonal year is the end of the
popular year. We measure our
prosperity from granary filling round
to granary filling. AS we look back
to the last stopping place in this end
less cycle of time, the people of Min
nesota see much to rejoice them and
little to Discourage; much to be thank
full for and little to regret; much they
find in solid achievements: much they
see of promise for the future. Our
farms have yielded abundantly and
our farmers are prosperous. The
world eagerly takes from them at
generous prices all of their surplus
And in this state the prosperity of the
farmer becomes ultimately the pros
perity of all. 1t is true that the bust.
ness world has had some experience
of tight pursestrings, chafng inactivity
and curbing caution; but while our
goodly State of Minnesota has shared
in this national misfortune and hare
experience, it has not suffered keenly
but rather less than most of it's sister
commonwealth. The experience has
been salutary if drastic, and will tend
as has been we'll said, to make Us
prize comfort more and luxury less
A feeling of thankfulness is in thu
hearts of all for the good that is ours
and we feel that the future promises
much.''

Gov. johnson of Minnesota, looks
like a rising sun. A Democrat who
can carry his state three times in sue
cession in the face of normal Repub-
lican majority OF, LOG, 900 is marked for
a man of destiny. Perhaps he will be
the Moses that will lead the agricul-
tural constituencies of the Northwest
out of the wilderness of protectionist
and trust-breeding Republicanism, in
which they have been blindly wander
ing for nearly forty years. In any
event, Governor Johnson is we'll worth

MORE MICH COWS IN IDAHO.
Gem State Shows a Healthy Increase
of Dairy Stock.

Mich cows have increased 3299
head over the number reported for
1907. but reported values have de-
creased, 39,305 head valued at SILL
O75 being reported for 1907 whereas
42.604 head valued at $636,751 have
been reported for 1908 from the 23
counties of the state. says the Boise
Capital News.
The equalized valuation of milch
cows as determined by the board last
year, resulted in a reduction of the
reported valuations for the various
counties.
Milch cows were assessed last year
at an average assessed value of SIS
per head by assessors, but the board
in equalizing assessed valuations re-
duced the assessed valuation per
head to S12, reducing the total valua-
tion of milch cows in the state for
1907 to s42S,42O.
Milch COWS are reported this year
at an assessed valuation of approx
mately SIS per head, an increase of
SO per head over the equalized val
uatlon of milch cows for last year

DR.. W|THYCOMBE URGES HOG RAISING.

DR.. James Withycombe. director OF
the Oregon experiment station, has
just given eastern Oregon farmers
some excellent statistics on hog rails
ing and urges them to give more at
tention to hogs. DR.. Withycombe
says of the subject:
There is perhaps no branch of an
imal husbandry in a grain growing
section that will give quicker, surer,
or larger returns than will hogs.
Despite this fact, Oregon for a
number Of years has utterly failed to
produce sufficient pork products to
supply the home demand. 1t is GER
tainly a peculiar anomaly that train
loads of Nebraska fed hogs are
brought past one of the best hog pro-
ducing sections of the ointment.
There is not an agricultural district
in the whole nation that can surpass
the wheat farms of the Columbia
river basin for the economical pro-
duction of a high class bacon hog
These hogs can be grown and finish
ed for the market on field peas, barley
and wheat. 1t has been demonstrated
nv farmers in this section that hogs
can be profitably grown on wheat
pasture during the summer and fin
isher on crushed wheat in the fall.
Experimental feeding has shown
that three and one-half pounds of
wheat will produce a gain of one
pound Of live weight in a hog fatten-
ed for bacon. For a longer period of
fattening so as to secure lard type
of hog, more grain will be required.
The heavier larded hogs will re-
quire about $50 pounds of wheat for
100 pounds gain in live weight. This
at 5lz cents per pound would bring
to the grower 73 cents per bushel for
his wheat The bacon type would
take less wheat because the finish
ing will be done in shorter time,
hence the less grain consumed per
pound gain.

The pigs should be farrowed early
in the spring and permitted to run
with their dams on pasture until they
are at least two months old. In the
meantime they should be taught to
eat small supplemental grain feed
This should be continued until the
pig weighs about so pounds. After
this he will make a satisfactory
growth on a good pasture. BY fall
this pig should weigh 125 pounds.
costing az cents per pound. This
includes the cost of the supplemental
grain feed and the value of the pas
ture.
The pig is then finished for the
market, and during this process con-
sumes $50 pounds of wheat and
makes an additional 100 pounds gain.
The cost of growing the pig is $437,
but after consuming $50 pounds OF
wheat he weighs 225 pounds worth
5la cents per pound, or represents a
value Of s12.37. thus returning to the
grower for his wheat IS or Sf.37 per

Equally good results can be Sc.
cured from peas. The hogs can har.
vest these themselves. 1t is believed
that a quarter section of good wheat
land sown to peas would fatten $50
hogs worth $4,000, and at the same
time carry over the breeding stock.

Salaries Are Advancing.

"In 1899 here were only eight
four-year high schools in the state
and there were very few of the sec-
ond and third classes" says State
Superintendent Alderman in his an.
nuaL report which was made public
yesterday afternoon.
mo statistics were kept at that
time of the high schools During the
past year there were in operation 43
four-year high schools, 10 three-year
high schools, 4S two-year high schools
and 81 one-year high schools"
The school census for the school
year 19O7-OS showed that there were
16O.O42 pupils of school age in the
state between the ages of four and
90, as against 156,466 two years ago
and 1S2,3SS in 1899, and the ENROLL
ment for the past school year was
10749S, as compared to 1OO,S9S two
years ago and S5.S64 in 1899.
The average monthly salary paid
male teachers was s65,65, as against
s6O.O2 in 1906 and s42.96 in 1899.
For female teachers the average was
s5O16 per month as compared to
$4495 two years ago and s34.S1 In
1S9. The amount expended for
school purposes during the school
year was S3,O61, 994O4, 19O7-OS, while
that for the school year ending in
1907 was s2,S71,75O,S6, and for 1899

that the compulsory educational law
passed by the legislature OF 1907 has
proved a success and that all OF its
provisions are practicable. Statis-
tics, which show that the average at
tendance per day for the school year
of 19O7-OS was 17,179 over the pre-.
vious year, seem to bear out this re-
port.
This large showing may be partly
due to more accurate method Of
securing the school statistics. The
new law requires the teachers to re-
port to the, county superintendent at
the end of each school month. and
the superintendent of public instruc-
tion bases his annual report upon the
