RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENT.
DisDasEiOnRte Review of Republican
Party Work.


Party Work.
Philadelphia Ledger.
The dominating thought which runs
through the presidents illuminating speech
to the League Of Republican clubs is that
government is a serious business, to be
carried on with prudence, reason and
justice, and not upon emotional impulse
Sentiment Is often Of the highest value and
abstract ideals essential. to wholesome
political life; but theoretical conceptions
are useful only as translated into actual
public achievement. AS president, he feels
restricted from the discussion of party
principles; but he has no hesitation in
speaking OF the party he represents as
practical political agency and claiming
support for II because OF It's fidelity and
efficiency in the work given it 10 do.
1t would be easy to attack this speech
upon party grounds; 10 say that Mr. Taft
is extolling the republican party because
Il has been correcting evils which are the
result OF its own policies, or that he Is
expecting 20 reconcile differences by ignor-
ing them. But this is just what gives the
speech its surprising strength. IL deals
with the situation that exists. After all
the controversy that has been going on
within his own party all the wild appeals
to passion and the thirst for novelty all
the appearance OF an irrepressible conflict
OF extremes, the firm and quiet voice Of the
president Is heard dispassionately explain
ing what has actually been done for the
Advancement OF the general good, and how
the administration is calmly going forward
in the careful execution OF its public re-
spOnsiblliues and the maintenance OF public
justice and tranquility.
It Is not a party speech but II Is some
thing much more effective II is a sort Of
executive message OF clearheaded and
tranquil confidence.

If the scene Of the Dietz story were laid
in the mountains Of eastern Kentucky Il
would excite no surprise, but enforcement
Of the law is supposed to be possible in
Wisconsin, even in that sparsely settled
region about the upper waters OF the Chip
pewa river. But John Dietz is an odd and
remarkable man, a pioneer out of his gen
GRAFTON and a pine woods lawyer of some
ability. A man Of indomitable tenacity, he
suggests John Brown Of Osawatomie.
Until Dietz shot Bert Horel, a peacemak-
ing neighbor, recently, he had some color
Of law for his resistance to county Off
GERS. Since that misadventure no posse
could be sworn in to rush the Dietz. cabin,
which is in a fine strategic position for
defense. John Dietz, with his garrison of
five electives, had resisted posses when
he was a litigant in civil suits, and as a
felon in the eye Of the law he would GER
tainly die In his boots. The reluctance
to storm the cabin seems 10 reflect upon
the courage of Sawyer county, but, aside
from a fear of the Workmanship Of John
Mrs. Dietz, Myra and the boys, there has
been good deal of sympathy for the
head of the family because he had always
acted on the principle that a Wisconsin
mans house is his castle, until he shot
Bert Horel, the peacemaker.

John Dietz is almost as celebrated for
his hospitality as for his feud with jus
tice. He keeps open house for all who
come in a friendly way to talk with him.
and he is never tired of talking about his
grievance. There is plenty OF meat and
drink for all who are well recommended
Dietz is a socialist and his trouble with
the lumber company has filled him with
fury against all corporations. His visitors
register in a book on a table in the living
room. Dietz admits that he has become a
fanatic on the subject Of the iniquty of
corporations. The other day he said :
when a man has thought OF one thing
for six years It is apt to change the con-
voluuons Of his brain" The Dietz chill
dren, although adopts with the rifle and
living in an isolated cabin in a clearing,
are not illiterate. AS they are the only
children in the district the father has al
ways insisted that the school board must
provide a teacher for Them and this Il has
done, educating the young Dietzes in a
leanto built next TO the cabin. The Dletzes
have a typewriter and Myra typewrites as
well as shoots. 1t was in a quarrel with
the school board over the rental of the
leanto that Horel, intervening to mollify
John Dietz, was shot by the enraged enemy
Of corporations.

Dietz first came into collision with the
courts when he resisted the attempt Of the
Chippewa Lumber and Boom company to
float its logs over Thornapple dam He
contended that as he owned land at the
dam the company must pay him for the
right to raft its timber down the stream
Dietz stood guard with a rifle day and
night over the sluice and threatened to
shoot any man who started a log down
This was in April, 1904. Injunctions were
obtained to remove the armed figure of
the settler from the path of the company,
but John Dietz defied the sheriff. He
would not accept the service, and threat
ened to shoot any officer who approached
his cabin Service was never made on
Dietz. There were several pitched battles.
On July %, 1906, Deputy Sheriff Rogich was
shot in the hip on one Of these sieges. The
old man and all the members Of the fam
lily able to bear arms kept up a furious
fire upon the posse. Clarence, one of the
sons, was wounded in the head.

TEXAS BEST OF ALL.

Since | returned from my
eastern trip, | thought | would
drive around the country to
compare our crops, lands and
country with those | had seen in
Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and the
states through which had passed
Well | am more and more con
WINGED that our Panhandle land
will in a few years go to the
front and make the best agricul-
tural section in the United
States. What is needed here is
a farmer on every 100 acres, as
they have too much acreage and
put in more crops than they can
handle. | observed on my drives
around Umbarger that every
piece of land well plowed and
cultivated had fine crops. So
many of our farmers think that
because it doesn't rain for a
week or more. it is not neceSS-
AIRY to work in the fields. My
observation is that all the farm
ers who keep stirring the land
thus keep the moisture in by
this working and mulching. and
when the rains come the crops
grow wonderfully. | am con
yinced that this country will
harvest a greater crop This fall
than ever before.
Our prairieS are in better con-
dition than | have ever seen at
this time of the year. Cattle are
as fat as they can be and we will
have plenty of winter pasture.
Our settlers around Umbarger
all feel happy and very much en-
couraged. During the past week
we had several good rains and
the soil is in the very best condi-
ton for fall blowing and getting
ready for sowing wheat.

Be A BOOSTER.

God pity the man who doesn't
talk his town up" was the sig
nificent keynote of an address
given by Prof. Lauery in Canyon
Sunday evening. A truer state
ment could no have been ma de,
nor one that should come closer
home to every resident of Can
yon. Canyon is in a position
now to be boosted and put on a
higher plane. The Normal Col
lege is about to open and with
t he intellectual opportunity
should come a desire for larger
and more beautiful city. We
will have larger number, and
more prominent visitors this
coming year than ever before in
the history of the town. Let
every person who may come to
Canyon, feel that he is in a town
of enterprise and of municipal
pride. If you have any kick
coming, use the surplus energy
in identifying your residence
rather than pouring it out in the
form of vengence upon the town
and it's authorities. In other
words, keep boosting for Canyon.
You will fell better by having
said good word.
