Power on the Farm.

There is a growing demand for a sat
isfactory power for use on the farm. In
many places windmills have been so
arranged that they not only pump
water, but do other valuable service;
but oftimes when they are most want
ed, there is no wind. and many farm
ers have put in small gasoline engines
to pump their water, the original eX-
pense not being much larger than a
wind mill and they are always ready
for service and can be used for other
work as we'll.
1t has been discovered, however, that
when a farmer puts in a machine, he
Immediately begins to see other ways
in which he can use it and that most
of such ways require great deal more
power than the engine which he
thought was large enough for his needs
will furnish. He finds that he can
make a decided saving both in money
and in time by grinding feed for his
stock; that he can use the power for
she1ling corn or for saving wood; and
that for these purposes a power of
from five to eight horsepower is need
ed, and with the larger size mention
ed, he can cut and fill his silo by using
a small ensilage cutter and feed car
rier. But if he wants to fill his silo
to the best possible advantage in sav
ing of time and labor, with blower
attachment for which he will want
from twelve to fifteen horsepower he
will then require larger machine.
We would advise every farmer keep
ing any quantity of stock and seeing
the necessity for a power plant, to
purchase not less than five horsepower
gasoline engine of some good make,
backed by a concern in which the pur-
chaser can have confidence. There is
no more annoying machine that can
be purchased than a gasoline engine on
a farm. 1t is worse than a balky
horse, for you usually have another
horse at hand or can borrow one that
can do the work. On the other hand,
thousands of farmers without any me-
chanical training are running gasoline
engines successfully and would not
think of running the farm again with
out it. Get good engine that is large
enough for your needs. - Dakota

A Lawyers SomersauIt.

Speaking of somersaults, the anec-
dote which Lord Eldon related of the
eminent English lawyer John Dun
ming, afterward Lord Ashburton, will
bear repeating. II had," says Lord
Eldon, Every early after 1 was called
to the bar a brief as junior to Mr.
Dunning. He began the argument and
appeared to me to be reasoning verv
powerfully against our client. Wait
ing till 1 was quite convinced that he
had mistaken for what party he was
retained, I then touched his arm. and
upon his turning his head toward me
whispered to him that he must have
misunderstood by whom he was en-
ployed, as he was reasoning against
our client.
HE gave me very rough and rude
reprimand for not having sooner set
him right and then proceeded to state
that what he had addressed to the
court was all that could be stated
against his client and that he had put
the case as unfavorably as it were
possible in order that the court might
see how very satisfactorily the case
against him could be answered and
accordingly very powerfully answered
what he had before stated"

CORRUPT PRACTICES ACT.
What May and May Not Be Done
Under the New Law.

Here are some of the chief and dras-
tic provisions of the Corrupt Practices
Act, which were discussed at the meet
ing of the Republican and Democratic
committees this week:
The law applies to all primary cleo
tions, including senatorial primaries,
as well as to the general elections.
To the two branches of the legisla-
ture during the legislative session.
To the political clubs prior to pri-
mary and general elections.
1t prohibits the entertainment of
a member of the legislature to make
him look favorably upon measure
that will come before him. This is a
misdemeanor.
To provide meat or drink for the
voter to gain his vote is misdemean-
or.
To contribute money except through
the treasurer of the party committee
and in your name, is a misdemeanor.
The names of all contributors and
the amount of the contributions must
be placed On public record.
Corporations cannot make contribu-
ton of any kind and the free car ride
to political meetings is over.
Candidates are restricted in the
amounts that they can expend, depend
ent upon the number of voters within
the territory embraced in the election.
Under this provision candidate for
governor of Maryland could only con-
tribute about $2,750 and candidate
for mayor of Baltimore only about
$1,750. These amounts include the
contributions for the primary and gen
eral elections.
Disbursements can be made only
through the treasurer or a certified
political agent.
The precinct executives are known
as subtreasurers under the law and
they must keep a detailed account of
every dollar received by them and
must file a sworn report showing the
names of every person to whom they
paid money, the amount of money paid
to each person and the purpose for
which it was paid. --
Before the treasurer can act as such
he must give bond in the name of the
state of Maryland for the faithful dis
charge of his duties.
Any person handling money for
election purposes who is not sub
treasurer or political agent is prima
facie guilty of a violation of the law.

The Men and the Issues.
Editor of the Evening Post.

ISllCOl VI tuC O0G,
Comparing the two nominees, a sig
nal advantage appears on the side of
the Democrats. Their candidate has
made himself ditinguished figure in
American politics against virulent and
persistent opposition. The Republican
candidate has suffered himself to be-
come what President Roosevelt willed.
Intelligence and Independence con-
front experience gained under influ-
ences unfavorable to the development
of either of the other qualities.
On three underlying questions to be
decided in November the Democratic
party is in the right, and the Repub-
lican party in the wrong.
ID Shall the nation exact from it's
rich men greater accountability to
the notrich; or shall the present state
of intoxication on the one side and ex-
asperation on the other be allowed to
deepen? -
CD Shall the nation announce and
begin to show that it is not an empire,
living by aggression, but a republic,
founded to prevent aggression?
80 Shall the nation forbid or per-
NIT that President should choose a
candidate to succeed himself?
A fourth question-shall business in
terests be jeopardized by a change of
the party in power Estates the argu-
ment of fear which is all the Republi-
cans have to rely on. Knowing they
have no case. the party leaders are
not reasoning, but appealing for
confidence They may carry the cleo
ton on this pseudo issue, since they
hold the offices and are widely sup
ported by the press, but lovers OF lib
erty should do what they can to pre-
vent. gs z-s.-. ss-s7g- ..sa-s.

The chief petty officers of both divi-
sions of the feet will give another OF
their popular dances at the Young

Their first dance was given here

year, and their second, styled ''The
second annual ball given by the c. P.

extra on the program.
Prominent townspeople have been
asked to cooperate with the committee
from the c. P. Os., which should re-
suit in the biggest and best dance yet,
though it will have to be a good one
to beat the one last month.
Admission viii be by invitations,
which viii be mailed within the next
few days. Prominent local women
will serve as patronesses, which will
insure a good attendance of Honolulu S
best society.
