stores. In some eases, plantations which
now have no stores sold their stores to
private parties. and it is said that the
sales were under agreements precludlng
the plantations from going into the
store business again.
A prominent member of the mer-
chants association said yesterday that
he thought it would be for the good
of the country if the plantations would
withdraw from, not only the store bust
ness, but all other business in the way
Of helping iaborers, and put the work
men on a cash basis. 1.-The plantations
would do we'll to abandon the stores,
and also the plan of giving homes free
of rent. medical attendance, water. fuel.
etc. PAY the laborers a corresponding
increase IN cash. and let them pay rent,
buy their own supplies and live as they
choose, Such a scheme would save a
lot of trouble. and the wage schedules
would look better to the laborers ana
everyone else. As it is now, laborers
talk of being paid only so or 50 a

about twice that.

THE CAT AND THE FIDDLE"

1t is astonishing how few people

the little folks. Take for example
the celebrated and familiar tale. The
cat and the Fiddle" II Ias first writ
ten and published TO hit at the ex.
travaSanccs OF the nobility and the
foremost men in politics in the reign
of Elizabeth. The Virgin Queen
too. was not spared in the satirical
handling of the simple little nursery
rhyme. II is a matter of history that
Elizabeth's Court was celebrated both
in speech and in living. The plain
people looked upon these scenes of
festivi'y as Vaccinations of the dey.
IL, and dancing, especially. was view.
ed by them as one of his slyest arts
to wean people from the rightful
course. The cat in those DAYS was
looked upon as a creature symbolical
of witchcraft and evil, and hence as
one of the workers of the devils
wiles. In the lampoon, which our
present nursery rhyme really origi-
nally was, the Cat was the personifi-
cation of the wickedness prevailing
in Court circles. The Cow also aimed
at the person of the Queen herself
and was a thrust at her vaulting am

AGAINST SPARROW
John Davey, Brother Of the
Trees" Starts a National
Campaign.
FORMS A. FIGHTING BAND
of Song Birds and Death
to Forestry Predicted by Ohioan
increase Of Insects Seen.

John Davey of Kent. O., brother of
the trees" formally launched his ma
ton wide crusade against the pestif-
erous English sparrow at Dayton, o..
recently in the organization Of the
Bird and Tree band and the adoption
OF the following resolutions:
Inasmuch the preservation OF our
trees and all vegetation depends on the
services Of our native birds: and.
Whereas, The rapid disa appearance OF
our song birds is accompanied by an
alarming prevalence Of disease among the
trees; and,
Whereas, This decrease OF numbers of
our coworkers. the native birds. is due
largely to the pugnacious and murderous
habits OF the English house sparrow,
We. the undersigned, do pledge our
selves to use every means TO encourage
the restoration and preservation OF our
native birds and to destroy the crow, Eng
fish sparrow and all other foes of our
birds to the end that vegetation may be
preserved to the use OF man and beast
Predicts Song Birds End.
Mr.. Davey asserts that unless the
robber sparrows are exterminated
speedily the song birds will soon be
driven from human habitations and
win remain in the depths of the for
ests, leaving the insects and the spar
rows a clear. treeless field in very
few years.
Mr.. Davey looks upon a tree and
talks of it as a living creature. An
extract from his Dayton remarks gives
an idea of his realization Of the actual
life of the tree, as follows:
-'T affirm threefold proposition:
''First.--AlI life Is divine for the simple
reason that nothing but Divine power can
produce II.
''Second.-In all the realms of life the
laws of God are substantially one. with
slight notifications in their application.
''Third-The life of the tree is as real as
the life OF the human body, and this Is
seen under the microscope, where the
protoplasmic activities are seen to be
conducted with just as much inherent in
telligence in cell building as in the human
body.
This world can never be what fits
Creator designed It to be until we lay
aside all such conceptions as things be-
ing run by luck or chance. The nor
NAL condition of everything is health
II man, animal or plant is suffering
some law has been violated.
Millennium Is Dawn OF Power.
"Man "a creature in the image OF
God was created TO have dominion
over the remainder Of creation, and
just as soon as we learn that it is our
high calling to destroy the useless or
lower forms that the higher may hold
sway then under sanctified human in
tellect the millennium will begin to
dawn.
"What people see and talk about the
tree-L e., the visible parts only sec
ondary. The invisible portion - the
roots-is the all essential considera-
ton"
Hence Mr.. Davey considers root &C.
ton" first and foremost in all his sci
entific work.

John Lind of Minnesota.

Democrats the nation over rejoice
in the nomination of John Lind for
governor Of Minnesota, and confident
ly anticipate his election over Gov
ernor Eberhardt, the republican nom
inee, who succeeded the late Gov
ernor Johnson upon the most untime-
~ death of the latter
There is no citizen of Minnesota
more respected or more popular than
Lind. The Minneapolis Journal, re-
publican, says that he has been a
wonderfully potent figure in the poll
tics of Minneapolis. Elected to con-
gress when less than 80 from the old
Second district, he rose before the
end of his three terms to high place
in the councils of the republican
party. But he gradually became
estranged, and IN 1896 was so far
from his political base that he was
swept into the silver republican
movement. He took the combined
poprlfst, silver republican and demo-
cratic nomination for governor in
that year and, stumping Minnesota
with unexampled vigor, came within
5000 votes of beating D. M. Clough,
while the state was going against
Bryan nearly two to one.
1.-TWO years later, in the of year,
he was again nominated for governor
and defeated w. H. Eustis by 10000
votes. In 1900. with the prestige of
an administration behind him, he

er 1t was the play OF the car lights on
his wet raincoat or the hypnotism Of
love in his presence there was no tell
ing. But the plant stopped and was
not resumed until he had toyed with
her for moment and turned to go.
Then the wailing began again, nor
did it cease until the engineer turned
and again smiled down into the big
blue eyes.
The moments followed each other
unnoted. and the Southern Pacific
Overland limited was being held while
her engineer played with an orphaned
emigrant child. Again and again he
turned to go, and again and again the
baby arms were held out in irresistible
appeal.
Suddenly the roar OF the storm out

more significant roar. mingled with

a conclusion which shook the whole

A landslide. Not a trainman but
recognized these ominous sounds. In
stantly a handcar was manned and
went forward to reconnoiter.
A mile up the track they found the

The JeFersonian Democracy.

Norman E Mack in his National
Monthly outlines the truth in his last
issue, when he states that the whole
gospel of democracy was stated by
Jefferson in his first inaugural adj
Dress as president. He would, under
no temptation, bend a power OF the
federal government downward to pick
up special private, local or sectional
interest; and thus hatch a brood of
special interests to feed on the general
or common interests of the country.
None knew as we'll as he that this
government has no independent re-
serve fund of property or power out
of which to make gifts or grant priv
fleges.
None knew better than he that all
property and power in possession of
the federal government are only con-
cessions of the people; that to make
gifts from this property is to ambush
it away from the many to enrich the
few; that to grant privileges out of
this power is to carve such grants out
of the body of common rights.
Hence the cornerstone of his sys-
tenn was equally of natural rights
among men, and equal title to such
rights under the law.

was again a formidable candidate,
and it took several days Of anxious
scanning of rural returns to deter
mine whether he Or Captain S. r.
Van SAINT was to be governor.
Retiring then from politics, and
opening law Office in Minneapolis,
Governor Lind at once took a COM
handing position in the big commun-
ity in which he had elected to live.
Within two years he was again
drawn into politics and made such a
run for congress that the district was
turned over to the democrats for the
first time since Hennepin had been a
district by itself. At the end of two
years, Mr.. Lind refused to run again
for congress and accepted a little
later a place on the board Of univer-
sity regents; by this board he was
elected president. This. he declared,
was to be his final work in public life.
But the man who has been con-
gresham, governor and regent ap-
pears to be an asset too valuable to
his party to be allowed to rest in
peace. He is demanded again for
governor, and it appears likely that,
despite his protests, he will be called
into action
1t is not improbable that there is
a seat in the United States senate
which John Lind will one day occupy
to. the credit of himself and the glory
of his state.
