WASHINGTON LETTER.

II is curious to observe CIlaC the
farms Of Ohio and Pennsylvania pre-
drced 49, and 291 bushels Of corn to
Ra acre respectively, while Iowa
ord Illinois, the great corn states, ave-
raced but slightly over 81 bushels to
+be acre. Both these states are re-
carded as having richer soil than eth
or Ohio or Pennsylvania and yet they
did not make within seven bushels of
&c much corn. Kar SIS and Oklahoma,
snposed to have richer and fresher
soil than the eastern states, produced
Init % and % bushels respectively. 1t
isnIain that the causes for the above
comparison must be found not in the
quality of the soil, but in the skill in
cultivation. 1t is evident that the
farmers of Ohio and Pennsylvania are
more skillful and scientific in their
tiIIage. Alabama and Georgia produc-
ed but 141 and 123 bushels per acre,
scarcely an average crop for these
states, but poor cultivation in the
southern states, rather than poor soil
is the cause Of light crops.
More than fifty years ago Macaulay
prophesied Of us in this language:
'YOur republic will be as fearfully
plundered and laid waste in the
twentieth century as the Roman en-
pire was in the fifth, with this diff
erence, that the Huns and Vandals
who ravaged the Roman empire came
from without, and that your Huns and
VandalS will have been engendered
within your own country and by your
own Institutions. "
This prophecy has come to pass.
The conditions are literally upon US
and upon our country. There is wand
aliSm in the twentieth century as
there was in the sixth century.
The form is different; the effect is
the same. The setting fire by night
riders to twenty churches and school
houses used by colored people in Georg-
Ia; the assembling of a special ses-
sion of the legislature in Indiana for
The purpose of dealing with the night
rider evil and the long unsurpassed ex-
Stence of this evil in Kentucky are
evidences that the conditions predict
@ by the great historian are upon US,
That the dangers do not come from
Without, but from within and that the
nuns and Vandals mounted on horse
Oack with cowardly masked faces are
Our nelghbors. Anarchy in many forms
Is IN the saddle. 1t has recently shown

The wonderful enthusiasm
that was displayed at the elias.
gov convention by the republi.
cans of Valley county is only a
forerunner of the result next
November. While true that the
convention hall was not packed
to its fullest capacity, it never
theless was a most representa-.
tive one. Men were present
there that know the actual stu.
alton in their respective pre-
cincts and they all predicted a
wonderful republican majority
in this county this fall. This is
as it should be, there is no rea-
son whatever that the demo.
Gratis of Valley county should
carry away all the fat offices
right in a republican stronghold.
There is an opportunity for the
next republican comfy conven-
ton. when it meets to nominate
its county officers, to place such
men on the ticket as are deserv.
ing of the support of every man

The action taken by the re
publican convention in Glasgow
yesterday afternoon, in endors.
ing the candidacy of Charles M
Webster for the gubernatoria
honors will be received with con
siderable satisfaction by the
people of Valley county anc
Northern Montana, regardless
of politics, who believe that Mr..
Webster is one of the few candi.
Gates who can carry the head OF
the ticket to success this fall.
AS the result of the convention
will be known tomorrow. it is
unnecessary for the En- tie r.
p Prise to elaborate upon the
ability that Mr.. Webster pos
sesses which fits him for the
governorship, except this much
that we believe Mr.. Webster to
be fully competent to hold his
own with Mr.. Norris in this
coming campaign and that if he
gets the nomination he will
surely be elected. However, if
the convention sees fit to place
another man at the head of the
state ticket, the Enterprise
and the people of Northern Mon.
Jana will not hesitate a moment
10 assist him to win glorious
victory.

Word has been received from
Lewiston that Judge E. K
Cheadle. who was the first tc
announce his candidacy for the
republican nomination for gov
ernor, has withdrawn from the
race. This step is being taken
by the judge on the advice of his
physician, and is the result of
severe injuries received by him
in an automobile accident some
weeks ago. Judge Cheadle is
one of the most popular distr let
judges in the state and has a
host of friends throughout the
state who would have supported
him through his campaign with
vim and enthusiasm, and will
no doubt regret the action that
he has been compelled to take.

It is rather peculiar that the
state of Maine, which has al.
ways been prohibition state
for the past twenty-five years,
should find that the prohibition
question is the paramount issue
before her people. There may
be something significant in this,
but perhaps its an effort on the
part of it's better element to
eliminate the free booze joints
which usually flourish in prohi-
bition states.

JAMES S. SHERMAN, Of New York.

The Chicago Tribune is print

Beneficial to the People?" On
of these cartoons depicts Col
Bryan in 1896 as a hard. workin!
newspaper man and in 1908 sit
ting in bis home at Lincoln will
a huge safe beside him, looking
through the stained glass win
dows which Col. Guffy of Penn
sylvania sent to him. The car
toon is entitled "Object Lessor
No. 1.-The Workingman," anc
then follows the subjoined:
In our Lesson today we will
Consider the Workingman.
Has he Prospered under Re.
publican Rule? Let us See.
Here we have Two Pictures.
In Chart No. 1 we find the
Workingman as he was in 1896,
during a Democratic Administra.
ton.
He is working as a Reporter
for *25 per week. A Mortgage
is on His Little Home. Prosper.
ity is a Stranger to him. 1t is a
struggle to make Both Ends
meet. Sometimes he has to re.
sort to Patches to accomplish
the Desired Result.
In the next picture, Chart No.
9, the same Workingman is seen
after twelve years of Republican
Rule. He is sleek and fat. He
has prospered in spite of the
Bad Scare of 1900. Instead of
working as Reporter he Owns
his Own Paper. The Mortgage
has disappeared from his Little
Home, and, instead, he owns a
Fine Large Country House with
Many Acres of Rich Land sur.
-ounding it. He has travelled
Far and Wide. He has talked
md dined with Kings and EN-
oerors. He has fine stained
class windows instead of ordin-
Try ones. The house is filled
With Beautiful Trophies from
Distant Lands.
His income is $1,000 a week
r more.
Has Republican Rule benefit
d him? We ask to know.
