OLE WHO WIS GOLO8aiCKED
A Peoples Party han Sees Light As
IL Is


To the Editor of The Republican:
Like good many other citizens of
Garrett county, the writer has been
watching the birth and development of
the Peoples party. We Rad been led
to believe before the convention met
that it would name some of the strong
men of the county as its standard bear
ers, and in this way We would get
chance to support some men who are too
modest to seek office, and as a conse-
quence are always crowded to the rear
by those VINO do not hesitate to ask for
and persistently seek a nomination. But
in this hope we are badly disappointed,
and as predicted by 3 good man when
the call first appeared. it has developed
into a Democratic side show, for the
sole benefit Of the Hamill end Of the or
ganization.
With Republican majority equal to
the Democratic voCe Of the county, it
would have seemed the part Of wisdom
to have named majority Of the cardi-
dates from the former party, and this
was the original intention. for it is an
open secret that on the day the conven-
tIonWas called to order Misunderstanding
among the delegates was thattne Dem
ocrats were to have two nominees. the
k9puhhcans SIN and the ffohlb,,ionl5ts

TREADMILL HEROES.

Somewhere we saw picture which is we'll
fitted to hearten those whose lives are hum
drum, only a bundle of weaknesses, apparently
with no achievements and no possibilities that
make it worth while to live It was just pitt
full brute, a poor discouraged-looking horse,
hitched to the end of beam, tramping round
and round in hot and dusty ring. His head
hung down. his feet seemed to drag, not with
the severity, but with the endlessness and
bootlessness of the toll. One felt like saying,
in the slang of the day, well that is the limit"
To be noble war-horse, petted saddle horse,
wonderful race-horse, might not be bad; but
treadmil-horse-tog go round and round in the
same old narrow track from morning till night
day after day, wearing the same old harness,
Juggling at the same old load and getting no
where-save us from such life as that!
But looking further, something more was
seen. The beam to which the horse was hitch
ed was attached to a cylinder, and around the
cylinder rope was wound, which passed over
pulley and down the hill to the rivers bank;
and at the end of the rope block of stone,
which the horse was hosting, as he has hoisted
hundreds already, to build the abutment of
bridge which when completed, splendid
railway trains would flash, with all their wealth
of freight and human lives
It is possible for lis all to be heroes of the
treadmill, of the common life-in the home, in
the school, in the workshop in the undistin-
gushed business professional offce-iust
patiently, earnestly, strenuously going round
and round; but lifting -nobly bravely lifting
the blocks of character that shall help to build
"a better and more beautiful social structure;
above all, that shall help to build the glorious
kingdom of our Lord Jesus Chirst.-Svenska

A man in Wadena has offered to pay lie
ense of S. 900 if he is allowed to the only sa-
loon in that place. The city now has eight sa-
looms and derives a revenue from the licenses
of 81, 900. It is reported that the city council
will probably accept the proposition and grant
the high license the monopoly he seeks.

Later reports regarding the seizure OF
water power sites in Montana by the water
power trust with the connivance of Secretary
Ballinger show that one has been mis-

Grated so far as the Montana entries are con-
Iserned.
The village of Lamberton recently estab-
lished grades for their streets and had grade
stakes for streets and sidewalks set, and then
passed an ordinance making it msdemeanor
to build sidewalk anything but the estab-
lished grade. The time has now come when
villages and small cities must pay more atten-
ton to grades than they have heretofore done.
Permanent Improvements are being made, sub
stantial buildings erected and cement sidewalks
laid, and any village that permits the grade
lines to be disregarded is to present
dge-podge appearance in few years.
Gov. Hughes, of New York, in giving re-
minscences at Seattle recently, showed new
side to his character He related how he
came to paroling Chester Gillette. The young
mans mother argued to him the innocense of
her son, and succeeded in raising doubt which
haunted him by day and disturbed his sleep at
night At last the day before the execution, he
determined to parole him, and called up the
warden of the prison on the long distance phone.
Before he had an opportunity to inform the
warden, the warden informed him that Gillette
had confessed. This story as cited not for the
purpose of showing that Gillette might have
been saved, but showing that Gov. Hughes
is as human the rest of We had been led
to believe that he was man with legal mind
which reached it's conclusions logically and
exactly as legal machine might, and that he
was not bothered with ordinary hum IAN doubts.

According to Oar Reese, Congressman
Tawney, who was the only congressman from
Minnesota who voted for the tariff bill, will next
year be the only who will not have to ex-
plain his vote. The inference is that by that
time the people will be so we'll satisfied with
the new tariff bill that they will want to know
why their congressman voted against it. We
do not believe that insurgency in Minnesota
will become SO unpopular in so short time,
but it is probably true that with good crops and
good times resulting therefrom that the people
may not care to bother with the tariff question
at all. The worst kind of tariff law goes in
good times, while the very best tariff law would
be blamed if poor times were prevalent.

A number of the business men OF st. Paul
have planned on banquet for the Minnesota
congressman who voted against the tariff bill,
and now find themselves in pretty political
muddle The banquet construed by some
as a slap at Tawney and by others as a slat at
Taft, and by still others astute plan of
Frank Day to disrupt the Republican party.

Someone has published Lieut.-Gov. Eber-
hardt's college record, and comment is rife
thereon Some papers discuss it facetiously,
while others make it the basis for unfavorable
comparison with his political record. Eber-
hardt appears to be a self-made man who as the
result of his industry, made an exceptionally
good record in college. Like most selt-made
men however, he seems to admire his maker,
and in politics has been prone to follow the ex-
pedient course. Upright is personal life he be-
came too prone to be expedent in political life,
and his record as presiding officer of the Senate
shows that he was too prone to yield to the I'M
portunities of the interests to be fair, Hoer-
hardt lacks the qualities of the political leader,
and is too upright to be demagogue or graf
ter In state politics. he is simply beyond his
depth.

BYRON, Aug. 6.-The Almond grow
ers' association of eastern Contra
Costa county closed a deal last Sat
urday with NJ p. Stein OF stockton

citation, and the total estimated yield
is ITO tons.
This represents about half of the
output of eastern Contra Costa.

and Concord also produces about loo
tons of nuts annually.
STEMS bid was the highest. For
Nonpareils. IXLs and Ne Plus Ultras,
all paper shells, the reported price paid
was Is cents a pound f. o. b. shipping
points, with a lower figure for other
grades.

The best almonds grown in the state
are produced in this section. Most of
them are Hatch varieties but they are
being grated on to brakes and Lew

The yield with the Hatch varieties
netted $40 to $40 to the acre. but with
the new graft mentioned above the
yield is reaching $40 and $50 an acre.

duce the bulk of the crop. Last year
the yield was $4,000, but this year the
crop is light.
Trees are seldom injured by frost in
this section.

STOCKTON, Aug. 6.-The long stand

union and the Central California trac-
ton company of this city have been

ferred to the building trades council
as last resort before declaring a
strike and boycott.
!. S. B. McLenegan. manager of the
company today signed an agreement

to go into effect on both the city and
county lines, but not from one to the
other. The men on the city lines must

division of rural delivery of the post
Office department at Washington has
taken up the matter of instituting a

carrier, who travels by wagon.

mail matter, population, ETC., which
will be forwarded to Washington at
once. Petitions to the postmaster gem
