Mr.. Plocker, who has been visiting
his son Christ and family this week
returned Wednesday to his home.
/ George J. Reickert transacted bust
ness in Alberta Wednesday.
Nearly all the grain is ripe and far
mers are cutting with all the ma
! chimes that they can MUSTER hoping to
| at least get it into bundles and out of
the way of possible hail or heavy
| rain and wind strom.
Frank Swezey, of Swanville, started
from home several days ago with his
threshing outfit and arrived here last
Friday and visited over Sunday with
@. W. Roberts and family. Tuesday
he resumed his journey towards Big
Stone County where he expects to
start threshing this seasons crop.
Monday and Tuesday were good
harvest days and farmers were busily
engaged cutting grain.
The price of wheat is dropping low
err and lower and the price of flour
remains firm and steady.
J. M. Cretty, Supt Hennepin Eleva-
tor Co. was an Alberta business caner
Tuesday.
H. J. Mitlying visited relatives and
friends in Montevideo this week.
About the latter part of next week
threshing VIII start in this locality and
continue till the work is done.
Christ Plocker's father from near
Minneapolis is visiting him this week.
The most appropriate place to settle
base ball and all other contests for
that matter is face to face, Johnny on
the spot and not annoy news papers
and the public with same.
A number of local gentlemen have
purchased the Hennepin Elevator
Company's elevator at this place and
VIII buy grain hereafter. This is
very important undert liking for the
benefit of the farmers adjoining AL
berta, as it gives this place one grain
house that is not in with all the others
but will conduct it's business indepen-
dent of other houses in the same
business. Alberta and the farmers
adjacent thereto viii be glad to learn
that the private enterprise has been
launched and will appreciate it's
benefits to this place no doubt.

Confidence Justified.

When Sardou was young he lived
and worked in an attic in the Latin
quarter of Paris. 1t was in the days
before the water carriers were thing
Of the past, and it came about that
the poor young man owed 60 francs to
the peasant from Auvergne who used
to carry up his daily supply Of water.
"My good fellow" Sardou said to
him one day, II cannot pay you, and
I don't know when l shall be able to-.
I don't want to abuse your goodness
any longer, so ] must ask you, until /
am in a positlDn. to settle with you,
not to bring any more water. l will
fetch it myself"
But the Auvergnot would not hear
Of such thing.
Monsieur" said he. II have been
watching you for long time. When
bring up your water you are always
writing. When young man Of your
education works as you do one may
have entire confidence in him. He is
bound to arrive. | shall go on bring
ing up your water as before. You will
pay me when you succeed"
1t was not long before the shrewd
Auvergnot's reading OF Sardou's charac-
ter and abilities was justified. Figaro.

WITH E. J. HILL OMITTED

| The Houses ways and means com
 mittee laboriously frames up a tariff | bill; then the Senate's finance com | mittee takes the bill apart and puts it together again differently; then a con- ference committee gives the bill final
 overhauling and fashions it into the
 shape in which-extraordinar acci-
 dents barred-it goes to the President of the United States.
 This conference committee is always
 made up from the membersh'o of the
 ways and means committee and the finance committee. Courteous usage having the force of an unwritten
 law-designates the senior or ranking
 members for the duty. The five sem
 for Republican members of the finance
 committee are Messrs. Aldrich, Chair
 man), Burroughs, Penrose, Hale and Cullom. vice-President Sherman
 promptly appointed those gentlemen
 managers on the part of the Senate
 in the conference on the tariff bill.
 The five senior Republican members
 of the ways and means committee are
 Messrs. Payne (chairman), Dalzell, Mo
 Call, D. J. Hill of Connecticut and
 Boutell. Speaker Cannon appointed Messrs. Payne, Dalzell and Mccall;
 then, desregarding custom and com
 mon decency, passed MT Hill by and completed his list of managers on the part of the House by appointing Messrs Boutell, Calderhead and Ford
 ney-the last-named gentleman per haps the most immovable and obstrep- erous stand-patter in the Sixty-first
 Congress. The performance recalls Speaker Cannon's eviction of MT. Hill "a practical banker and veteran stu dent of monetary problems-from the banking and currency committee; but it's a much greater indignity and out rage than that was.
 Ebenezer J. Hill is known to the House and to the country as tariff expert of the first rank. It's no ex- aggeration to say that-setting Sereno E. Payne, John Dalzeu and Samuel w. McCan aside-he knows more about tariff history and tariff prob lems than all the other members of the ways and means committee put to- gether His intelligence, his wealth of information, his readiness in de- bate, his independence, Joseph G. Can non's disfavor and Nelson w. AL drich's disfavor were his ,disqualifica- tions for appointment to the confer ence committee. His exclusion from the committee, meant as a punish ment and an insult, is really testi- Mr. Hill may well hold his head the higher for it.
 Last year Speaker Cannon and his henchmen undertook to discredit and | destroy another of our representatives in Congress, whose unpardonable of- fense was an honest effort to unearth | stop waste, and save the | peoples money. George l.. Lilley is in his grave now; but he died governor | of onnecticut.-Hartford Courant.

BIGGEST FRAUD
 EVER PERPETRATED

Ten Republicans voted against the Senate tariff bill when final action was taken. They represent Indiana, Kan sas. Nebraska, Minnesota, South Da- kota, Iowa and Wisconsin, all Repub- Hcan States whose electoral votes are essential to Republican success in 1912. It is their evident belief that the bill, with its numerous increases in duties does not fulfil the pledges of the Re- publican platform, candidate and cam paign of last year. all are epitomized in the following extract from a. speech delivered in Milwaukee, Wis, on Sept. 24, last year:
 A revision of the tariff in accord platform will be. on the whole. a sub stantial revision downward, though there probably will be a few excep- lions in this regard. I do not hesi- tate to say, with all the emphasis of which ann capable, that if the party is given the mandate of power in No- vember, it will perform its promises in good faith"
 It was largely, if not wholly, because of such promises that Mir Taft carried the States whose Senators have just voted against the Senate tariff bill. The mandate of power was given in November and the campaign promises have been fulfilled not ih4"good faith as predicted by MT. Taft with "all the emphasis of which I am capable,' but in bad faith. Instead of the sub stantial revision downward promis- ed by MT. Taft, there is a substantial revision upward The flew excep- tions" to downward revision referred to by Odr. Taft, prove to be a multi tude.
 AS completed and finally passed by the Senate, the tariff bill is probably the biggest fraud ever perpetrated up- on the American people-it is almost the exact opposite of what was prom .sed.

.A.FUY IN THE OINTMENT

Hzeoer,t1v. the Farmer expressed the
 cpfnion that Mayor Lee, having car ried Into effect the Republican policy
 of subserviency to the larger corpora fious in several notable instances, had
 earned . renomination- It is especial lv eratify1ng to the Farmer to learn that the new local Republican Boss, State Secretary Rogers, has recognlz- cd the strength of it's argument in support of the Mayor and decided to allow him to become candidate TOT axenomination, and that Sheriff Flaw aey. one of the competing candidates for County Boss, has reached a sim liar conclusion and will not antagonize 4he Lee candidacy. Possibly, the con Esent of Speaker Banks, another of the candidates for County Boss, has also ibeen obtained. The Farmer con- xratu1ates itself upon the clearly evil dent power of it's influence with these { 0ictatcrr of Republican action, and l clainna exclusive credit for their decis- ..fon that Mayor Lee has earned a re- nonnination-
 But there is ca fly in the ointment" Of our satisfaction. Can it be that 4he railroad company's wishes are not yet fully granted? Is there still some favor. large or slight, not yet granted by the city? Does the company now deaire another slice of harbor area, or IS 1t merely part of or all of Seaside Park that is needed for additional frefxht yards? We had believed that vvith the gift of $25o,0O0 worth of har- Dor area, and the privilege of crossing Stra1ford avenue and Congress street at grade. the company would be at least temporarily, satisfied and would give Bridgeport a rest from further despoilnent for a few years, and therefore we had used our potent in- fuence with Bosses Rogers. Hawley and Banks to gain for Mayor Lee the compliment of renomination.
 But if their consent is really due to some s1ittle joker of railroad covet- ousness, to be gained by Mayorfal in- eistence as were the harbor line and car-barn gifts, then the Farmer will be compelled to withdraw its appro- val of the Mayors renomination, though still insisting that such of his official acts as have been popularly criticized, were really in full harmony with the Republican policy and not to be condemned by that party without self-stultifcation.
