We spend on copy what other great

Before we had Advisory Boards, too
many campaigns failed to bring back
their cost. Other agents have the same

Now our failures are so rare, and Our

multiplied many times over.
So we need to charge nothing extra.
We can better afford to keep accounts than

The statement of the president to
the effect that our schools are edu-
eating the coming generation for
town life rather than country life
will strike popular cord, for the
reason that there is widespread dis

school course in this and most other
states. Unless our state educators
get together on a common school
course calculated to meet the re-
quirements of the ninety per cent of
school pupils who never graduate
from high school at all. the discon-
tent voiced by the president will as

NEW LIGHT ON SIOUX MASSACRE.

NEW ltGHI ON S!OUX MASSAlkL.
DR.. w. w. Folwell has recently
brought to light some important
historical data bearing on the Sioux
massacre, being a complete record
Of the proceedings and testimony in
the trial of 3O3 Sioux Indians for
participation in the tragic events of
that period.
ct has always been a mystery as
to what became of the records of
the trials of the Sioux Indians cap
tured by General Sibley, or who
surrendered to him at Camp Re-
ease, near Montevideo, in the
S ring of 1882" said DR.. Folwell.
About 400 of these prisoners
were tried by military commission
appointed by General Sibley, of
which Col. William Crooks and Col.
William R. Marshall were mem bers.
The recorder of this military court
was Lieut.. |. V. D. Heard. well
known to all old residents of the
twin cities,
"Of the total number of prison
ers, 321 were found guilty, and 303
were recommended for execution by
hanging. General Pope desired
President Lincoln to authorize him
by telegraph to have them executed.
The citizens Of St. Paul, in great
mass meeting, warned President
Lincoln that if they were not hung
the citizens would take the mat ter
of justice into their own hands.
Governor Ramsey also notified the
president that he greatly feared
public action unless the convicted
men were properly dealt with.
president Lincoln ordered Gen.
eral Pope to send him the records
of the trials, and these were dis
patched to Washington Immediately.
The records made bundle of docu-
ments which more than fill peck
measure.
1t has been the popular belief
that Mr.. Lincoln read this whole
mass of testimony and proceedings
personally. The fact was that he
placed them in the hands of two
men whom he trusted. George c..
Whiting and Francis H. Ruggles,
with instructions to select out the
prisoners convicted of outrages on
women.
Contrary to expectations, they
found but two such cases. The
president then directed his commits
sioners to make a further examina-
ton and select out those who had
participated in massacres, as dis
tinguished from those who partici-
pated in battles. Forty of this class
were found, including the two con-
victed of outrages. One Of the
forty, Godfrey, a mulatto. had his
sentence. COMMITTED to 10 years inn
prisonment, because of valuable
testimony which he gave in the
trials. One convict died, and the
remaining 38, as is we'll known.

IDEAL COUNTRY LIFE.

President Roosevelt sent to Con-
gress last week message summing
up the work of the commission on
lettering conditions of country life,
and some of his deductions are well
worth quoting.
eff country life is to become what
it should be and what l believe it ul-
timately will be-" observes the presi
dent "one Of the most dignifed. de-
sirable and sought after ways of
earning living-the farmer must
take advantage not only of the agri-
cultural knowledge which is at his
disposal, but of the methods which
have raised and continue to raise the
standards of living and of intelli-
gence in other callings.
Those engaged in all other in
duStrial and commercial callings
have found it necessary under mod
ern economic conditions to organize
themselves for mutual advantage
and for the protection of their own
particular interests in relation to
other interests. The farmers of
every progressive European country
have realized this essential fact and
have found in the cooperative sys-
tenn exactly the form of business
combination they need
Indeed, cooperation and organiza-
ton, supplemented with improved
methods of education, practically
sums up the presidents conclusion
of the whole matter.
From all that has been done and
learned three great general and i'm
mediate needs OF country life stand
out:
"First.-Efective cooperation
among farmers to put them on the
level with the organized interests
with which they do business.
"Second--A new kind of schools
in the country, which shall teach the
children as much outdoors as in
doors, and perhaps more. so that
they will prepare for country life
and not, as at present, mainly for
life in town.
Third. Better means of COM
munication, including good roads
and parcels post, which the coun-
try people are everywhere, and
rightly, unanimous in demanding.
ITO these may we'll be added bet
ter sanitation, for easily preyentable
diseases hold several million country
people in the slavery of continuous
i'll health.
1.-THE commission points out-and
| concur in the concusion-that the
most important help that the gov.
eminent, whether national or state,
can give is to show the people how
to go about these tasks of organiza-
ton, education and communication
with the best and quickest results.
This can be done by the collection
and spread of information"
