for the past forty years. Today the
half dozen men who control the
House and the half dozen who con-
troll the Senate in Washington are of
this class. They may have been ad-
mitted to practice but they are not
lawyers. not one. And while there
are good lawyers in congress, they
are not the real leaders. But it has
become too much business. Platt
looks after telegraph interests and
we cannot get our parcels carried by

1.-The next class to assume leader
ship was the lawyers, whose day
lasted to and beyond the civil war.
He gave US Hamilton, Marshall and
Webster. It was a long day, a
glorious day but it has departed.
The change was bound to come, but
our own faults fastened the ending.
AS class we have been careless
about our membership. No profess
sion has been so negligent as ours.
we have never purged ourselves Of
the unworthy. The good and honest
lawyer was not afraid in his profess
sion of the short lived success of the
shyster and the pettifogger and we
suffered him to remain until he had
discredited the whole profession.
The shyster went into politics and
what he lacked IN legal knowledge
he more than made good in party
craft and corruption. He waxed
great in stacking conventions and
corrupting parties and became the
boss of cities, states and nations.
And his dishonor was our discredit.
"Outside this we revere authority
and seek to find precedent. And

POPULAR BAND CONCERT.

The band scored another sue

Wednesday evening, notwith-
standing the stormy night. The
high school ladies' quartette
and the artistic work of Mrs.
Bronson and Miss Reed elected
hearty applause, and the same
was meted out to some of the
best numbers by the band boys.
The gross receipts exceeded
$40.
Four new members have
been added to the band since
the accompanying half-tone
was made.

Will Whittet went to Lethbridge
over a week ago to look after his
brother, Byron, who had to go to
the hospital with an attack of pleur-
isy. The brothers arrived home
Monday evening, Byron being espe-
cially glad to get back to his family
as the siege of sickness had left him
in a weakened condition SO that it
will be several weeks at the very
best before he will be fit to do a
days work.

Not many years ago fourishing
parties arose whose creed was hos
tility to your trade and profession.
To nominate one Of your number to
anything of influence was to invite
defeat. You were considered arch
enemies of the republic. Mary Ellen
Lease could draw cheers by propos-
ing to hang you at the nearest street
corner. A proposition in most of
the western states to send banker
to congress or even to the state
legislature would haye been received
with jeers and laughter.
Slowly but surely you have made
your way to confidence and power.
The first class you gained were the
local merchants. From borrowing
your money they came to beg your
advice and they became your staunch
supporters and champions. Next
came the lawyers. There is so much
of business mixed up in law and so
much danger Of law in all business
we had to work together. There is
no relationship so close and conf
Dental as that between square,
progressive banker and his attorney.
Later you secured the newspaper
man. You took a mortgage on his
plant to enable him to buy it. He
found that to pay it off ne had to
run that paper to please his adver-
tisers. If he did not you foreclosed
the mortgage and tried new editor
while the old one moved on. Two
or three moves and he saw the light.

farmers. Its been slow work.

found the country here in very
good shape to beginsthe crop season.
There has been an abundance of
rain, the warm weather enabled the
farmers to get wheat. oats and bar
ley in early, so that the earlysseeded
fields make good showing..of green
already. Flax. which isl still the
leading money crop, is partly sown,
and the farmers are pushing the
work as fast as possible. Breaking
for flax will continue until early
June, and if not sown much later
than June LIST, often gives as large a
crop on the sod as is realized from
the old land.
There are several steam rigs
breaking in this vicinity, turning
over from ten to twenty acres a day
and doing good work. One of these

plows, is so far ahead of four horse

make comparison.

lleVing him. But this meets with little
credence here and there is nothing in
official records to bear ii out 1t is d
curious fact that these records do not
even show that any change has been
contemplated in American representa-
ton al the Berlin embassy; there is
not even on file a resignation of his
office by Ambassador Tower.
Last fall came the first intimation
from Berlin that a change was in pros
pect, this being a short news dispatch
stating that Mr.. Tower had decided
that his family interests required him
to return to America. Soon after this
it developed that President Roosevelt
had received Il letter from the ann
bassador confirmatory of this news and
explaining that his children had
reached an age when they should
matrculate at some of the American
universities and he wished to be near
them.
There was nothing in the nature of
formal resignation and it was stated
at the time that the president had en-
deavored to induce Mr.. Tower to re-
consider his decision. The German en-
peror also having conceived a feeling
of strong friendship for both Mr. and
Mrs. Tower. is understood to have used
his influence with them to bring about
a change of mind, but in vain.
So the president accepted the situa-
ton and announced the name of the
successor chosen for the Berlin en-
bassy and the other diplomatic changes
that depended thereupOn,

In view of the absolute lack of off

Stockyard Notes.

| 1T is evident that cattle buyers are
doing their best to put on the brakes
and prevent the market from soaring
to still higher level.
The argument that the feeders liqui-
dated all of their stock before the adj
vance came about in the market does
not hold good. Evidence of this mis-
statement is shown by the increase in
marketing of both cattle and hogs this
month as against the corresponding
month a year ago. Cattle receipts thus
far this month total about 100000 a
few thousand increase on marketing in
March a year ago. while hog arrivals
at $4,000 for the month to date stand
$500 larger than a year ago.
Naturally those feeders who liqui-
dated their holdings in December. jan
uary and February are not getting
the benefit of the recent high prices.
They shipped out too soon but in flood
ing the market with half-tinished stock
during that period they We're paving

Local traders have been somewhat
disappointed at the Indifference of
country buyers and EXPECTED a much
larger attendance than arrived.
The fact is the country is a little
timid about taking the cattle at the
prices, with corn at the present mark.
Good steers are wanted and very hard
to get, but all this week the market
has beer literally supplied with light
and medium cattle, which are not
very easy to sell. A good many light
