A VICTORY WON.

Whatever may be the outcome OF the
elections throughout the country next
Tuesday, it can be truthfully said that
the Democrats have already won a
great victory: and that victory is the
position secured to the Democratic
party by the wisdom and bOldness of
it's leaders. The Democratic party
has become the progressive party Of
the county, as the Republican party
has by its folly become the reaction
airy party Of the country. Very many
persons who have heretofore classed
themselves as staunch Republicans
refuse to follow the leadership Of such
men as Cannon, AIdrich, Payne,
Sherman and other reactiOnaries of
their party. They refuse to longer af-
firm that the patent of reform rests in
the possession of any particular par
ty. The Republican national cOnven-
tion of last June by It's refusal to lis
ten to the voice Of reformers within
the Republican party, thereby vOlun-
tariIy surrcuded its claim of being a
progressive party. The reformers
who then asked for a hearing now find
themselves without a political home.
Henceforth they must look to the

extension of the ST. Paul will make
necessary complete, sudden and start
ling revision of all statistics concern
ing the worlds wheat supply.
From territory tributary to the new
line that has produced nothing but
cattle and sheep in the past there will
come within a decade annual yields of
wheat greater than those of the two
Dakotas combined. From this virgin
there will be suddenly poured upon
the markets a stream of grain that
will upset all calculations of specula-
toss and dealers. No man may safely
predict when that climax will be
reached, for in this land men are pre-
pared to farm by wholesale and those
who had hundreds of acres in wheat
last year have cultivated thousands
this season; while hundreds of other
owners Of cheap land have been wait
ing only for the coming of the St. Paul
Road to put their holdings in wheat.
There are tens of thousands of acres
unsecured by pillow that will produce
from the sod" great wheat crops in
the poorest year. Throughout the ter
ritory opened by the new road there
were yields last season of fifty-fve
bushels of winter wheat to the acre,
and the yield of spring wheat--the
choicest No. l hard-was considered
low if it ran under thirty bushels per
acre.
Irrigation is not necessary to bring
about these phenomenal yields that
will make the ST. Paul the greatest
grain-carrying road of the land
There has been but one crop failure in
nineteen years, and it is too expensive
to irrigate where such conditions pre-
vail. The land is ever willing to re-
ward richly him who caresses it, and
the land is not for sale The advent
of the ST. Paul means the elimination
of the cattle baron and the sheep king,
but solely because their holdings are
more valuable for wheat than for con-
sumers of bunch grass, and they will
add to their fortunes by holding their

Engineering problems have little
terror for the men who will build a
bridge every mile that they may Sc
cure the desired gradient for their
railroad, and that is what has been
done by the men behind the Pacific
coast extension of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & ST. Paul, which was opened
to Butte, Montana, on October s.,
1908.
In distance of III miles along the
Musselshell river the new road crosses
the stream lis times. 1t lies, for a
large portion of the route in only two
countries, and it turns from one Of
those countries to the other ITO times.
In the grades it has secured and in
the rapidity with which it has been
constructed the new road is the great
est ever built through the West. 1t
crosses the mountain ranges between
the Missouri river, which it crosses
on a 81 GOO 900 bridge at MObridge, in
northern South Dakota and Puget
sound, but nowhere does it reach an
altitude above $500 Feet, though
mountains tower above it at eleva-
tiOns of 0,000 feet and more.
The steepest gradient on the line
from the Missouri to the coast is only
II per cent. Tunnels from 200 to s 800
feet in length have been driven
through the mountains; bridges hun
dreds of feet in length and from 100 to
106 feet above the water have been
erected. Single miles of the road
have cost as high as $3.50, OOO-the
highest construction cost ever re-
corded.
Millions were spent in preliminary
surveys, covering the western country
from the Canadian line to south
ern California, and not until long
after the engineers reports had been
submitted was 1t decided to build the
extension along the route now traVers-
ed.
A virgin country has been opened
by the new road. One of it's stations
is located on land formerly part of
the ranch of man who, only two
years ago, was without mail for four
months, as 140-mile ride would have
been preliminary to his dropping in
at the nearest postoffice. Inland en-
pires are traversed by the newly laid
ribbons of steel. One branch of the
new extension gives a new outlet to
the Black Hills, the richest 100
square miles on earth. Fruit dis
tricts unequaled beyond the bounds of
Colorado are tapped by the greater
ST. Paul, and its locomotives will for
the first time break the silence of the
depths of forests greater than those
now known to the timber trade.
But of far more Importance to the
world at large is the effect that the
opening of the new line will have
upon the worlds bread basket. The

MIR. KOPP ON THE TARIFF
QUE STION.

Arthur II. Kopp, Republican candi-
date for representative in congress,
spoke at the city hall on Monday
evening to fair sized audience, who
gave him close attention. He was
introduced by Hon. w. A. Jones,
who spoke briefly on one or two
points la the course of his address
Mr.. Kopp said some good and manly
things; and for these he deserves COM
mendatiOn. But on the tariff question
he was disappointing. We had ex
peCted him to be fairly reasonable;
but he was altogether unreasonable.
He talked as though he had learned
his political economy out of the
Chicago Inter Ocean and the pam
phlets issued by the Home Market
Club. He appeared worse than his
party; and would evidently go the
standpatters some better, because he
appeared more concerned about the
securing OF more special privileges Of
government than he did about the
abolition of those now existing.
Senator LaFollette is far from the
Democrats ideal of the tariff reform.
err. But what he has recently said on
the tariff question contrasts with
what Mr.. Kopp said on Monday night;
as the light of the twentieth century
contrasts with the gloom of the middle
ages.
To enumerate some of Mr.. Kopp's
errors:
He even went so far as to advocate
the placing of a high tariff tax on
some of the raw material used by the
greatest and most productive and
helpful local industry that southwes-
tern Wisconsin ever saw. This is a
blow to Mineral Point.
He said that the farmers were more
greatly benefited by protection than
any other class of citizens. And
thereby he COMPOUNDED himself. For
any child knows that the farmers bear
the greatest burden of tariff taxation
and are the least benefited by the
spOilauOn system.
He used the butter and eggs argu
meut for which Governor Davidson
has been laughed at so much. And
he held up the tariff tax on potatoes
as an unmixed blessing. The Demo
crat says, bless the constitution of the
United States, which insures free
trade among the states. Otherwise
the present high prices of potatoes
would be higher in many quarters
this fall and winter; and more would
go hungry for want of them.
The worst break Mr.. Kopp made
and one of the worst breaks ever made
by public speaker on the tariff-was,
when he told his hearers that it was
only a protective tariff that kept the
cattle from the Argentine Republic
out of the Chicago market. The cat
tie from the Argentine Republic do
compete with cattle from the United
States. Not in the Chicago market,
however, but in the great Liverpool
market, and other markets which are
outside the domain of the American
tariff takers.
The Democrat would not be uukind
to Mr.. Kopp. But be must not come
10 old Mineral Point and uphold the
protective trust sheltering system,
with all of its denominations, and
hope to go away unscathed. He
is man of good parts; but he is
hopelessly wrong on the question of
federal taxation. Such men in con-
gress give Aldrich and Cannon their
power.

How To Keep Sheep Healthy.

Missouri has S52, 2,54S sheep with
total assessed valuation of
ST ,5S1, 1884. How to keep these
sheep healthy and thereby add to
the possible profit is one which
int erests many Missouri farmers.
DR.. D. F. Luckey, state veterinar-
ian, is the author of a valuable
work entitled, parasitic Diseas-
es of Sheep" This publication is
issued as the October bulletin Of
the Missouri State Board of Agri-
culture and may be had, free of
charge by addressing George B.
Ellis, Secretary, Columbia, Mo-
The Missouri farmer and sheep
raiser will find in DR.. Luckey's
publication just what he has been
looking for. Technical terms are
avoided and where directions for
the treatment of diseases are Civ
en- they are so plain that nobody
will find any trouble following
them. The remedies suggested
are generally simple and such as
may be easily obtained.
In the Introductory to this bulle-
tin Mr.. Luckey points out that as
general rule, it is neither pru-
d ent nor profitable to practice the
promiscuous feeding of live stock
with condition powders and pat
ent preventive medicines. He
does say, however, that it is prob
ably advisable for every sheep
m an to give his flock during the
W inter and spring, a course of
finely powdered tobacco or the
bluestone-copperas-s salt mixture,
consisting of one pound each of
b luestone and copperas and twen-
ty pounds of common salt. More
t han a dozen diseases of sheep
are fully described and treatment
given.
That the outlook for a better
heep market is good is an opin-
ion generally shared in by those,
W no ought to know. This being
true, it is all the more important
that Missouri farmers look well to
the health of their sheep now and

ADVICE FOR NERVOUS PEOPLE.
Exercise by Which System Is Re.
! freshed and Invigorated.

For relaxing tense nerves there is
nothing like tonic bath and this spe-
cial relaxing exercise.
The bath is quite simple-nothing
but alternate sprays of hot and cold
water, given for from five to ten min
utes. This is possible for any one
who can afford a rubber hose with a
spray attachment, which fastens on to
the nozzle of the hot and cold spigot.
1t usually costs about 81.
Follow the bath with this exercise,
which stimulates the nerves without
the expenditure of nerve force:
Stand with the weight of the body
on the left foot, the right fixed lightly
on the floor a little in advance of it.
Raise slowly the right arm to the level
of the shoulder, then move arm in a
circle from right to left and reverse.
The left arm is then treated in the
same manner, with the weight Of body
on right foot.
BY exercise of this kind the ner.
vous system is refreshed and invigor-
at. 1t is important in doing the move.

forgets she has any muscles. In other
