PRODUCER VS.. CONSUMER.

OF course, the highest possible price
for crops Is not always the most COM
mendable purpose progressive farmers
can have, observes the Kansas City
Star, and then qualities by saying:
But it is always progressive and COM
mendahle to seek to increase the mar
gin OF profit by lowering the cost Of
production. II, by increasing the
acreage, by employing the most ad-
vanced and most modern methods Of
tilling, by followinh scientific rules Of
feeding, by building good roads, by
planting successive crops in the same
season, by cooperating with railroads
If by these and other alert policies
the farmer can reduce the cost of the
bushel, the barrel or the steer, he
VIII add to his net profits even with
out the advance in prices. And the
seller must always take into consider
alton the resources of the buyer. The
consumer furnishes the market. The
best policy for sellers-whether pro-
ducers of raw material or of manufac-
tured articles-is reasonable consider
alton for the public the market.

yEsSEY is DESERVING.

FRIDAY, S)VEMBER III, l900
yEsSEY is DESERVING.
Itlooks as though aBoss'' Richards
was q leader Of the rule or ruin yarie-
ty, and one who holds his opinions
paramount to all others. This is
brought to attention by the state
ment Of Governor Vessey at Minneap-
oils:
.'Had permitted Mr.. Richards to
control me as governor, to dictate all
my official acts, he would now be my
friend, instead OF considering running
against me for the nomination for
governor"
In other words had Governor Yes
sey been q molly coddle or a nonentity
he would not today bear the enmlty
Of Richards. II he had held the title
Of chief executive Of the state and al
lowed Richards to dictate what he
could do, he would now have the sup
port Of the erstwhile ruler of politics.
But instead Of being nonentity Gov.
Vessey has endeavored to use his own
discretion In affairs OF the state and
to give the people the best admins
tration within his power. On this
account the people should favor him
In preference to anyone else.
In the same interview from which
the above extract is taken, Gov. Yes
sey refuses to state that Mr.. Rich
ards was ever his friend or confeder-
ate In politics. He stated, however,
this much:
He was associated with the ele-
ment Of the party with which / was
connected. That Is all. When / was
nominated, it hurt him. He did not
want me to become the candidate. My
administration has gone ahead and
redeemed all Its promises. That be-
ing the case the candidacy Of other
insurgents for the governorship are
merely scrambles for Office. .
Referring to the attitude Of Mr..
Richards, he says:
II refused to let Mr.. Richards or.
anyone else rule me; therefore his en-
nifty. He broke with Coe 1. Craw-
ford for the same reason. He tried to
rule him as governor and again as SEN
4 ator, but failed. Now he is opposed
to Senator Crawford
Referring to his ambition for Office
Gov. Wesley Is quoted Us saying:
= AZ far as the coming campaign Isl
concerned, do not care whether l am
reelected or not, have tried to give
d the state good honest government and
70 make good my pledges George w.
Egan OF Sioux Falls Is already Q can
didate. IL Richards becomes q candi-i
dste, " y the plan Of my opponents
to put q stalwart into the race, there
By hoping to defeat me. 9
The situation referred to by Gov.
Vessey Is identical with the view ex-
pressed BY this paper several weeks,
ago. Richards isbeing urged to cnter
the race BY those who would profit
by division Of the insurgent forces.
George Egan Is now in the race for
nomination, and it is understood G,cy.

SAYS the Yankton Press and Dako-
tan: The present method OF dispos-
Ing OF Indian reservations by the So
called lottery system will undoubtedly
give way to some plan not 50 expen-
sive to the public. Not much criti-
cism is made Of the recent Cheyenne
Lottery, though It cost the people Of
the United States several millions;
but the estimated cost of opening tho
reservations In Montana and WASH
ington earlier In the season, being in
the neighborhood Of twenty million
dollars, has aroused 4 strong opposi-
ition to the method. The Washing
ton Post has arrayed itself in opposi-
ton to the present method and says
that = plan has been perfected by an
official Of the land department which,
will be presented to congress this
coming winter. The plan provides
that land entries may be made by
mall tothe land Office at Washington,

lions will be subjected to the same

ONE hat ~ 1 LIFETIME.
Boat OF Warriors shield Other Quaint
customs OF the Papuans.
From the London STANDARD


Papua is fast altering in these days Of settle
ment and plantation which bid fair TO make
of Australia's wonderful South Sea colony
a rival TO Borneo or the Malay States, but
still there is much Of the country unknown,
and a great deal that h remarkable for the
Quaintest Of savage customs.
Gaima, in western Papua. has a tribe of
natives who live and die In their hats and
in little else. These hats are OF plated fibre,
very large. concal shaped and much re-
seInbiEg the Chnaman's headgear on the
well known willow pattern plate Of the
nursery. They are securely fastened 10
the head with masses OF thick, stiff clay.
and 70 far rs Is known are never removed
at all. Strange 10 say. the sex that clings
so obstinately to the matinee hat In civilized
lands is not the sex that decorates itself
with the permanent hat Of Gaima. the men
reserving this distinction to themselves.
The enormous rivers watering the rich
lands Of Papua are very swift. and even the
amphibious native at times finds IL hard to
cross safely. curious sight was seen re-
Gently by magistrate on patrol duty.
Five men carrying large wooden warrior
shields wished 10 Cross very wide and rapid
river in high flood, a stream that no white
man would have Nentured into. The in :
enious Papuans put all their goods OF a
raft. flung their shields In the stream, and
best striding the shields like mermen riding
on dolphins. worked their way across the
torrent with powerful strokes OF the legs,
driving tho raft, the goods and the Gov
ernment official safely in front of them.
The Papuan does not stop at devices as
simple as this. In many parts OF the coun-
try he builds excellent suspension bridges of
strong hbrous creeper hundreds OF feet
long and spans great rivers and gorees by
their means, White carpenters are now
at work In the districts around the capital,
Port Moresby, bridging the rivers that lie
close 10 the important rubber and coffee
plantations with the ordinary material of
but the Papuan, looking on al
these new fashioned ideas, declines scorn-
fully to learn from them and returns con-
tentedly to his ancient engineering of bush
