the governor told the exact and demon.
strable truth. Even If Mr.. Ballinger is
to be judged by the president not as
public servant, but AS a defendant
entitled to every technical protection,
our guess still is, in spite>of this un-
fortunate refusal candidly to consider
the attitude and influence of the sec

that Captain Fries. who saved to the
people what was left of San Pedro

If you care to follow intelligently the
Ballinger controversy. which is sure to
continue for many weeks. you might
do worse than read the water power
series which begins in our next issue.
The world has been treated to some
choice views of late. After Mr.. Taft
had SO completely eulogized r. Achilles.
Mr.. Hitchcock. the prize politician of
the cabinet, and the man who deliv-
cred delegates to Taft because he was
unable to throw them to Cortelyou, let
his vocabulary loose as follows:
Richard Ballinger's character is as
unsualied as the snow of your noun
tain ranges. AS well attempt to shake
the foundGtions OF the great Mount
Rainier as 70 assaii the character OF
the secretary. l am proud OF the rep
resentation that the city OF Seattle has
in the cabinet"
Dear old Hitchcock: We can only
add, Selah! But rhetoric in the hnal
settlement will be OF little use. Facts
ultimately will decide. For instance

the president and Governor PaTdee

possible that woman can make an

that is if the followers of Mrs. Stetson
will stick to their ideas, no marriages

The corn fields are safe from thu

ready for the annual process of trans
formation whereby each bushei be-
comes SO many dollars. There is prob
ably an average in this county of ,hir-
ty-fve bushels per acre. good farming
producing more. of course. No good
farmer, with his yard full of pigs. will
sell corn for much less than an even
dollar, because it is worth that much
when turned into pork bringing cents
per pound. People need no longer won-
der at land prices in this locality when
acres are returning from $50 to $40 per
year AS a matter of fact land is not
yet high enough, has not yet reached
its legitimate value, which is a capital
ization returning not more than per
cent. Upon this basis Sioux county
farms should sell for between $500 and
$500 per acre The fortunate man at
this time Is the renter. He is paying
rot more than s. per acre and making
a profit of $4,000 to $4,000 on each
quarter farmed.

There is a new sect of the Chris

er in this sect has been deposed for

church as instituted in Boston. This

these further statements in regard to
the new theories:
TN the First Church everything is
done to discourage marriage among

pie do have the backbone to defy the
teachings and get married, the con-
