o WHAT A FALL,
MY c0UNrRYMRN7

We could understand the Demo-
cratic break In Kentucky to Gov
er'nor Bradley for Bradley is a man
OF character. But for the Democrats
to break their lines for such a man
as that scheming political hack Of
Chicago, Billy Lorimer, is too much
for the average sanctum. However,
the disgrace is equally divided be-
tween tho narties and the not can't
say ''black" to the kettle. But com
slider the fall from Abraham Lincoln,
the patriot, statesman, lawyer, proph-
ct and martyr, or from the able and
iea4 .ss.s DouleiasSs w pIlIy Loraner,
the trading and scheming political
trickster for personal gain! What a
fall is that, my countrymenl
Us Illinois satisfied with Louimer
for the place of Lincoln? What Is
the matter with the great empire
state of the West? What causes her
TO drop from high craftsmanship to
dirty politt:s? Is ii une fact that her
senators are becoming representatives
OF the slums OF her great, congested,
alien populations of the stockyards
instead OF the brain and sinews of
the farm and the prairies, God Al
mighty save Illinois from her low
grade politics and politicians. Such
descent is refiuent wave against
human progress, en- evidence of the
decadence of the American people
IL not THE human race, substitution
of chdcanery and traffic for wi,,dom
and statesmanship. Oh Republican
Ism of Illinois! where is thy Abra-
hamic virtue? Oh Democracy of the
Great Sucker State! Where Isl thy
Jeffersonian purity? Gone with the
winds which sing requiem over the
tombs OF dead statesmen May God

Washington, June 1.-Former Sher-

while Mr.. Clift pu, himself in COM
munication with Senator Frazier and
the two were in lengthy conference.
The understanding is that the two
attorneys will go into court today,

YANKEES ARE MAKING
GRAND RUSH TO CANADA

Winnipeg, June 1.-The report OF
the immigration department for the
fiscal year was issued from here yes
terday. The year closed March 81.
The report contains statistics for the
whole of Canada, and shows that
immigration through ocean ports
from European countries decreased
117,OS1 persons from the preceding
year This decline is attributed to
restrictive legislation aimed at unde-
sirable immigrants 1t has not seri-

HILL SAYS NO
WHEAT CORNER
he Declares that Patten Only
: Took Advantage of Ex-
listing Con ditlons.

Seattle, June III. J. Hill, chairman
OF the Great Northern board of dir
ectors, visited the Alaska Yukon
Pacific Exposition buildings yester-
day. Discussing the recent wheat
corner, he said:
1T is a mistake to say James A.
Patten cornered the wheat market
1t is merely case of man taking
advantage of an opportunity. 1t has
been but a few years since it was
ual consumption of wheat per annum
in this country was six bushels, but
now the experts argue tAat 1t is seven
bushels. The census of 1910 will
show that we have popu.stion OF
90,000,000, which will mean that we
will require for our own use $50, 0,O0o,-
900 bushels hereafter.
1--WE raise now probably 650,000,-
900 bushels Of wheat in the United
States with good crop conditions.
This will leave us but 20,000,000 BUSH
els for a surplus for export, while in
the past we have exported upwards
OF 120,000,00O bushels per annum. So
one can see that we will need all our
wheat to feed our own people. With
in the next five years the wheat OF
eastern Washington will be shipped
eastward to feed the people of East
ern and Central Western states.
And, in considering these facts,
II must be remembered that the num-
ber OF livestock slaughtered last
year was 100000 fewer than the
year previous. When farmers of
Iowa, Minnesota and Nebraska can
get sixty-five cents a bushel for corn
at the country station they will not
enuure the risk OF hog cholera and
the labor incidnet to hog raising,
but will sell all their grain"

HYsTssIcAL ENGLAND

The world is amazed at the by.
steria that prevails in England on
the subject Of a German invasion.
Scarcely week goes by without wit
Messing some new exhibition of alarm
on the part of Great Britain. II
does not seem natural to Americans
that what is often called the mother
country" should get into such a con-
dition Of blue funk. The John Bull
we used to know was stolid, phleg-
matte, unimpressionable and self-con-
fdent. He used to laugh at the very
Idea that Germans, Frenchmen o.
Pussians could harm him in his
snug little island. Now he is ner-
vous and excitable and as much Civ
en- to seeing things" as a negro
passing graveyard at midnight.
Last week half the people OF Eng
land were in panic because they
thought they saw the lights on Ger
man airships that were sailing over
their country every night 1t turn
ed out that the signals came from
some advertising devices that the
publisher of a number of yellow
newspapers had sent up. A member
OF parliament solemnly informed the
people that London contained an ar
senal filed with thousands of Ger
man rifles OF the most improved pat
tern, and the people believed him.
Another story asserted that fifty or
sixty thousand German soldiers were
domiciled in England and in due sea-
son would give up their jobs as wait
ers, cooks and BARRIERS to join the
army OF invasion. How often in
this country have we heard of the
tens OF thousands of Japanese sold
iers working as coolies on the sugar
plantations OF Hawaii, who would
finally take the islands and help their
compatriots to make descent upon
California; These stories of foreign
enemies living under the flag OF the
country they intend to attack are
either malicious Inventions or the
products of minds disordered by fear. |
That England is unnecessarily
alarmed, is the general opinion in
the United States. and it is doubtful
whether France. who is supposed TO
be England's ally. shares with her
the belief that Germany is preparing

Chose "Harmon"

Columbus. o., June There .
q Harmon county in Oklahoma. The
people in the county, in an election
Saturday, decided by a vote OF three

There was touch of sentiment In
the election. The territory included

son Harmon became ATTORNEY Gem
eral o. the United States, portion

to break away and unite themselves
with the Territory of Oklahoma.
nIr. Harmon took UP their fight and
pressed 1T successfully through the
courts. The debt of gratitude never
has been forgotten. When the peo-
pile organized into separate county
the first thought was 10 name ii fer
Harmon.
A vote was necessary and the. re-
suit has been further evidence OF
the Ohio Governors popularity. A
few IN rhe county desired some
either name of more local character,
entirely appropriate and fitting. The
Governor was notified in a telegram
to which he replied, expressing his
appreciation of the compliment.

mans may be better mechanics than
Englishmen, and the modern battle
ship Is only floating machine shop,
but British sailors have always
fought we'll in any kind Of ship
they manned. At all events, Ger

the Kaiser's empire Is to launch as
many fighting monsters as Great
Britain possess. German emulation
will hardly prove as strong as Brit

What is it all about? Nothing
more definite has ever been alleged
than the British commerce is threat
ened by German competition. Ger
many has made wonderful progress
in the international carrying trade
since the Franco-P -Prusslan war. and
has greatly enlarged the market for
her goods, but the high seas are open

After the events of 1901 unite
Germany and made the Fatherland
supreme on the continent of Europe
the Germans characterized themselves
as masculine nation and declared
that the French were feminine. Bis

distinction. 1t was very much like
an Iroquois in one of Fenimore Coop
er's stories calling the Mohegans
squaws. The fortunes of war had
made the man of blood and iron"
somewhat arrogant, but IL England
does not speedily recover from the
present hysterical mood, the Teutonic
warriors will soon cry "squaw" and
begin to hector the Anglo -Saxons. A
great humorist who would laugh his
country out of their folly would be
godsend to England just now. Too
many Of her statesmen and influential
writer's are prone to saying: Cheer
up. The worst is yet to come" That
Is not the sort OF consolation that
should be administered in what is
probably a purely imaginary crisis.
There is no apparent necessity of
war between Great Britain and
Germany, and on this side of the
Atlantic it does not appear that
Germany is specially seeking AMI
for a conflict. All the
nations, the United States included,
are spending more money for bat
tleships than the taxpayers can
well afford, but it does not follow
that because Germany has the naval
craze in an acute form, she is get
ting ready to try conclusions with
England.
