Marnlart|l. Notes

From the Mail, Sept. Is. j. P.
Brewer has painted his building
with coat of carmine. 1t is the
fourth building in town to be
painted red. This fact together
with all us red heads and red
nose here and, there would induce
one to believe that maybe the Eur
opean anarchists had planted
colnoy here.
1t is confdentally expected by the
people of Hettinger that a branch
line from Dickinson will connect
with the main line at their town,
and the Hettinger Headlight seems
determined that the railroad COM
pany volens nolens, must also re-
move the division headquarters
from here to Hettinger. With
branch lines running into every
town to the east but ours and
with every alternate burg being
the headquarters of the division,
Marmarth will gradually be forced
into the likeness of wart on the
small end of nothing. Suffering
shades Of innocuous desuetude, give
us show brethren!
Tom Devasher is constructing an
imposing cement block cottage
on his land west of town. It is
the first cement block residence in
Marmarth and is certainly a nice
one.
Since the flowing bowl has been
smashed to smithereens in Mar
marth we have to go chasing after
news with gum shoes and a lariet.
If the suitation grows real desper-
ate we may have to start How
to be Beautiful though Homely'
column or a column on The Beauty
and Economy of wearing short
Toe-nails.

MENACE OF THE RED FLAG IN
AMERICA.

1t is not the numbers of the advo-
Gates of revolution and violence that
should be feared. Twenty-Five thous
and anarchists and two hundred
thousand radical socialists is a lib
eral estimate out of the entire popu-
lation of eighty millions. says
Broughton Brandenburg in Broad
way Magazine for June. The gravity
of the situation arises out of the fact
that they are located in the great
cities, the nerve centers of the ma
ton, and something in the very spir-
| 1t of them makes them leaders of
men. If gigantic labor upheaval af-
| fecting three or four million men
| should occur, the crisis would find
leading the mobs, and the oonse-
quences would be dire. In their ranks
are the Dantons, Marats and Robes
pierres of the coming outbreak, and
a fortnight would serve to see the
strength of the following turned
from thousands into millions.
They have a large number of
names for their beliefs, and very
few of them are certain of what
heading they come under, and very
few of them agree on any given
point. Their are state socialists, COM
munists, free love advocates. Chris
tian socialists, atheistic socialists, So
cial democrats, eXproprietary social
lists, and a dozen other sorts. The
fact that they do not agree with each
other does not lessen their danger
Gus possibilities.
Anarchists are weeds in the field
of wheat; but there are other weeds
from which those partly SPYING.
Every corrupt man who is also
man of power is helping anarchy;
every corrupt trust magnate is help
ing anarchy; every bit of watered
stock. and every watered legislator
whose vote protects that stock is
helping anarchy. They are helping
anarchy because they give it a solid
basis from which to work. They are
helping anarchy because they them
selves violate society they them
selves become anarchys horrible e5-

number of fishing vessels lying up
there for the winter, but she never
reached her destination, becoming
one of the world S marine mysteries.
The French are not the only VIC
tins of fast liners. On July 4, 1905,
the American fishing smack Venom
ha was struck by the British steamer
Alcides and sunk within a few min
utes, only one man out of the nine
teen on board being saved. A few
years previously the City of Rhome
struck the Victor of st. Pierre, with
thirteen men on board, and in this
case. too, there was not but one
survivor.
In the season of 1905 drunken
Maloan set fire to his vessel, the Me-
dusa. then IN the midst of a score of
others, and as the flames spread
some frightened wretches cut the
vessels cable and the burning craft
drifted down on the other vessels,
forcing them to cut and run also to
escape disaster.
The crew of a Newfoundland
banker lying to windward rescued
the imperiled men, all except the
maniac who started the FIRE, and,
who armed with an ak, beat off all
who came near him and danced with
glee on the deck of what became his
funeral pyre. Under these circum-
stances and with snch conditions ex-
listing 1t is not strange that the

PROVISIONS OF CURRENCY
MEASURE.

The new currency law provides
that the individual banks not belong
ing to the authorized currency asso-
Citations can issue emergency curren-
cy based upon state, county and mu-
nicipal bonds, while the banks that
join the authorized currency asso-
Citations will be able to issue social
! ed asset currency based upon com
mercial paper in any event only up
to 80 per cent of their unimpaired
| capital and surplus, and if they wish
gency currency that all above 80 per
cent must be based upon state, coun-
| ty, municipal or railroad bonds.
Before either class of banks can
avail itself of the issuance of emer-
gency currency under the law, says
| the Waco Times-Herald, they must
have their outstanding circulation
| secured by government bonds on de-
post for an amount equal to not less
than 40 per cent of their capital and
surplus. This leaves room for the is
suance of emergency currency to the
extent of 60 per cent of capital and
surplus, representing the balance of
unimpaired capital and surplus. The
individual banks may base emergen-
Icy currency upon state, county and
municipal bonds for this balance of
60 per cent of surplus, but the cur
rency association banks must split
their emergency issue between 80
per cent of circulation based on COM
mercial paper and 80 per cent based
on bonds other than government
bonds
The reserve required to be retain
ed in central reserve and reserve CT
ties is 10 per cent straight. A re-
demption fund of 10 per cent is stip-
ulated and all of it shall be held in
| Washington The emergency curren-
cy issuable shall not exceed in the
aggregate 100000, 900. Such cur
rency shall be subject to a retire
ment tax of . per cent for the first
two months and an additional ! per
cent per month thereafter until 10
per cent is reached State. county
and municipal bonds shall be accept
able as security for emergency cur
rency at so per cent of their market
value. Other bonds and commercial
paper shall be similarly acceptable
at Z > per cent of their market value.

SCIENCE IN FARMING.
The New Style Farmer Has Learned
Many Things.

Scientific agriculture is young. 1t
has had to wait until machinery
prepared the way, by giving the
I farmer time to think and money to
spend. The first scientific who took
notice of farming was the French
| man Lavoisier, says the American
Review of Reviews. He found out
the composition of water, 1888, and
was in the midst of many discoveries,
when a Paris mob hustled him to
the guillotine. The famous Liebig
next appeared and founded the first
agricultural experiment station. Then
came Berthelot, the father of syn
thetic chemistry, with his sensation
al announcement, The soil Is alive"
Today the new farmer finds him
self touched by science on all sides.
He knows that there are more living
things In one pinch of rich soil than
there are people on the whole globe.
He knows that he can take a half
dozen handfuls of earth from diff
ferent parts of his farm, mix them
together, sent enc thimbleful to
chemist and fnd out exactly the
kind Of crop that will give him the
best harvest. And more, now that
science has given peep into ma
lures factory, he can even feel a
sense OF kinshfp between himself
| ana his acres, because he knows that
{he same elements that redden his
blood are painting the green hue
con his fields and forests.
There are now $1,000 new farm
ers who have graduated from agricul
tural colleges; and since the late
Prof. w. 0. Attwater opened the first
American experiment station in
1878, fifty others have sprung into
vigorous life. There Is also at Wash
ington an agricultural department.

Step by step farming is becoming
a sure and scientific profession. The
risks and uncertainties that former
ly tossed the farmer back and forth
between hope and despair are being
mastered. The weather bureau,
which sent half million warnings
last year to the farmers. has already
become so skillful that six-sevenths
of it's predictions come true. In
Kansas wheat growing has become
so sure that there has been no fall
ure for thirteen years. And in the
vast southwest the trick of irriga-
ton is changing the man-killing
desert into a farmers paradise,
where there is nothing so punctual
as the crops.

1t is not often that we agree with
the conclusions reached by Railroad
Commissioner Colquitt, but for sew
eral reasons we are inclined to be-
lieye that his recently issued state
ment concerning the gross earnings
of Texas railroads represents the real
facts. The decrease heretofore shown
and extensively published is, accord
ing 10 Mr.. Colquitt, not real, but fic-
titious, and due to a change in the
method of bookkeeping. Passenger
earnings thus far this year according
to Mr.. Colquitt, represent an in
crease of over 100000 as compared
to the entire passenger earnings Of
the fiscal year of 1906.

PERILS OF CODFISHING.
French Fleet Lost 10 Ships and $50
Men During the Past Summer.

From the Atkinson Globe
! The perils of codfishing on the
| Grand Banks are tragically Illus
trated by the terrible experience of
/ the French fishing fleet in the past
season, which has lost ten ships and
$50 men during a single summer.
This is the worst record in the his
/ tory of the French fiotillas, which
4 have their headquarters at st. Pierre
! Miq. since 1900, when twenty-five
vessels and nearly 400 men were
lost in the gale which devastated
Galveston, and working up the
Atlantic seaboard, spent it's final fury
| Oh the Grand Banks
The st. Pierre flotilla itself has
! dropped in five years from 220 YES
sells to seventy, and the st. Malo fleet
has also suffered a considerable de-
cline.
The roster of recent years con-
tains some striking stories of tragic
disaster to the French fishing yes
sells. Ten years ago the valiant, with
seventy-two men, from ST. Malo for
st. Pierre, MID, in April, struck an
iceberg off Cape Race at midnight
in dense fog and foundered within
ten minutes. OF her whole company
only twelve escaped in two small
boats. They were adrift for a week
without food, water or adequate
clothing, had no protection from the
elements and were. stricken with
frostbites in addition to their other
miseries. They persisted one by one
till but three remained. They were
picked up by passing vessel and
| landed at st. Pierre, where they had
to have their hands and feet amputa-
ted, SO frightfully were these ex-
tremities scared by the frost which
had affected them.
The next year the Alsass was dis
masted and was totally crippled by a
hurricane on the Grand Banks, and
of her crew of thirty-eight all
but five We're swept overheard and
these survivors remained on the
floating hulk for nearly a fortnight,
starving because they were unable
to reach the food supply below, as
she had become waterlogged, so that
they were reduced to skeletons when
rescued
As already stated, twenty-five of
the fleet were sunk in the Galveston
gale in 1900 and the next year five
ships and seventy-eight men were
missing at the close of the fishery
and never a word was heard from
them after. The Hirondelle in 1904,
the largest vessel in the French fish
ing flotilla, carrying forty-five men,
was torn from her anchorage on the
banks in a gale with but three peo-
pie on board.
OF the Hirondelle's crew never a
man returned, nor did the ship her
self with the three men on board
ever reach the harbor She was last
seen by a Canadian banker drifting
before the elements with three fran
tically gesticulating wretches on
her deck, but it was Impossible to
afford them aid and they passed out
of sight not TO be seen by human
eyes evermore.
The worst individual tragedy
among the French vessels in late
was the loss of the Cousins Reunis
of st. Malo early in 1905. This yes
sci, large bark. was crossing to

THE FAITH CURE FOR HARD
TIMES.

II was Horace Greeley who re-
marked, when able statesmen we're
debating how the nation could best
resume specie payments, that THE
way to resume is to resume"
So it was. And so it proved.
The National Prosperity Associa-
tion-a faith cure movement begun
by the head of the Simmons Hard
ware company of ST. Louis and in
dorsed by business men throughout
the country-rose a few weeks ago
to remark, as Greeley remarked
years ago, that The way to resume
is to resume"
The National Prosperity Associa-
ton wants the country to resume
prosperity. Its originators and back
ers believe that general hearty de-
termination to resume will do a lot
to make prosperity's prompt return
possible.
The men who argue that mind has
III NoHtloi oNcF IudtttI Will anu
do-watch this propaganda with
doubt, not to say derision. 1t is be-
yond them.
But the men who know the power
of faith, especially when faith is sup
ported by works, have taken hold of
the movement energetically, says the
Houston Chronicle. In St Louis. the
source of the movement several
thousands of workingmen were, on
June /, called back into shops, fac
tories and Offices from which the
panic evicted them. The day was set
apart as the day for the resumption
of prosperity throughout the coun-
try Doubtless other thousands in
other cities than st. Louis owe re-
newed employment to it.
The doubters may doubt, but these
men who owe their employment to
the faith cure movement have
been Shown
The good book does not err when
it says that faith can move noun
tains. The country has been sick.
When a man is sick, he can hasten
his recovery by being cheerful and
hopeful. So can the country.
There is one feature of the Ma
tionai Prosperity Association that is
not so certainly commendable. We
allude to its now famous motto,
Let US alone"
If that motto speaks the sentiment
of the predatory corporations that
have lately felt the restraining and
regulating hands of federal and state
governments upon their collars, and
if it is meant as an appeal for liber-
ty to return to the practices that
have lately been forbidden. then it
is waste of faith. For the people
of the United States will not permit
the big corporations, the trusts, and
other monopolstc Of opportunity, to
enjoy the free hand that they have
hitherto enjoyed.
In so far as Let us alone" means
Give us chance to do business I'M
| der the new rules and regulations,
| it is strictly all right But it must not
| be made the slogan of a retreat.
Democracies die, but they never
