EDITORIAL NOTES
BY j. d. WATSON


can have met a crushing defeat, it will be no
surprise, for the Republicans have certainly
given the people good excuses to change
horses during the last few years. and espec-
tally since President Taft was inaugurated
Ii, on Tuesday, the Democratic donkey
does happen to wheel and kick the Republi-
can elephant in the tanks the main causes
Will be the manner in which the Republican
bosses have allowed certain persons to
trample over the peoples wishes during the
past two years.
The people have been made to endure the
reign of Cannonism and Aldrichism; they
have been made to stay their rage at the
Payne-Aldrlch law, which has increased the
cost of living out of the reach of the average
working man, unless he denied himself and
family many of the common necessities which
make living comfortable; they have been
forced to let jingoism take millions of dol
lars out of their pockets for the benefit of
the Steel Trust on the pretense that we were
In danger of war with Japan; they have had
to keep quiet and see the honest man, Pin
chot, kicked out of office, and the timber,
mineral lands and water powers thief, Bal
lmger, stay IN and continue to draw his sal
AIRY; they couldn't make move when it was
shown how the law partner of the Presidents
brother, Attorney General Wickersham, had
rendered decision which allowed the rob-
Der Sugar Trust to steal thousands of the
richest sugar lands in the Philippine Islands.
And there are many other things that have
happened since March 4, 1909, that have
aroused the Indignation of the people.
If by chance the Republicans do happen to
be victorious, the reasons will be, mainly:
1st That the Trusts have the country by
the nape of the neck with such strong grip
that the wishes of the people no longer rule.
End. Or that the people have become so
accustomed to the Trusts ruling the govern
ment that they thought it useless to waste
the time of casting ballot
3rd. Or that the Trusts put enough money
into the hands of corrupt political bosses to
buy the election, which means that the hon
est voter is ruled by the scoundrel who ought
to be put in the penitentiary as we'll as dis
franchised.
4th. Or that a great many people are too
prejudiced, or ignorant, to see things as they
are, and won't see the present condition of
the country and what it is leading to, or they
are so unfortunate as to be unable to see and
understand.
Another example of how little Congress
cares how and how much of the peoples
money is spent was shown when it became
public that Senator Lodge had practically
robbed the tax payers of 900 in favor
Of the firm of Kidder, Peabody & Co., of
Boston, Mass
Thinking that there would be no opposition
to the Ship Subsidy bill, this firm of bankers
had built two vessels, the fremont and the
Shawmut, of 5000 tons burden, each.
When the army engineers in charge of the
work on the Panama Canal reported that
they needed ships to carry cement, the Presi-

at Seattle, Washington, at dead loss to
their owners-the banking firm of Kidder,
Peabody&& Co., the financial hackers of Sena-
tor Lodge.
Of course, the government had to purchase
these two vessels, and the government had to
pay $4,000 to send them from Seattle to
New York.
When they reached New York it required
the services of 400 carpenters and other re-
pairs amounting to $35OOO0 to get them in
shape for service.
When the two vessels reached Colon they
could not get within a mile of the harbor, so
the government then had to spend $271 900
to make the harbor deep enough for them to
enter.
So, Mr.. Tax Payer, you see how shrewdly
Lodge robbed you of S2,177O0 to pay
political debt to the Boston, Massachusetts,,
banking firm of Kidder, Peabody & Co
Postmaster General Frank Hitchcock's
latest scheme for reform in the postal SERVICE
and it is stated on good authority that Presl-
dent Taft will aid him in carrying it out by
recommending it in his annual message to
Congress, is to inaugurate one-cent rate for
letters, and to charge a higher rate for the
sections of magazines which carry advertis-
ing matter.
At first glance it looks like worthy
scheme,-one that will be benefit to the
many who send letters through the mails at
the expense of few rich publishers
But there is a joker,-a "nigger in the
woodpie" in this lessening of rates to the
many at the expense of the few.
Mr.. Hitchcock realizes that there is a grow
ing dissatisfaction because of the annual de-
fcit in the Post Office department, and he
wants to get rid of that deficit.
He knows that the people are beginning
to realize Parcels Post would do that very
thing, and will soon begin to make such a
persistent demand for it that Congress can
no longer 81 i've the express companies mil
lions of dollars that rightfully belong to the
government.
Therefore, the willy Hitchcock has found
that by increasing the rate on the section of
magazine containing advertising matter he
can make things come out about even,
the same time making it appear that he has
the interests of the people at heart instead of
the rich magazines,-a bait that the majority
of us would swallow hook, sinker and line
Hitchcock has been shrewd campaign
manager for the Republican party, and he
knows from what source that party's cam
paign funds have come.
He knows whether or not the express COM
panies have contributed to that fund, and
how much; he knows how much the maya
zines have contributed to the same fund.- and
he knows which to choose between to stop
the popular clalnor for Parcels Post.
Yes, Mr.. Hitchcock you are smooth ar
ticle.

RELIGIOUS ENTERPRISE
DEDICATED LAST SUNDAY

In 1904 a small Sunday school was
organized about IL miles southeast of
Sentinel Butte, followed by preaching
services by Rev. Alex Douglas, and an
organization of IS members.
On Sunday, September 18. a 81, 900
church was dedicated for regular preach
ing services.
This church supplies the religious
needs of a community of about is miles,
in and around Rocky Butte.
John Orchard, pastor of Sentinel Butte
church, preached the dedicatory sermon
in the morning. Rev. E. H. Stickney
of Fargo dedicated the church free of
charge.
One of the noteworthy things about
this church is the fact that not one cent
was asked from the Building Society
OF the Congregational Association, but
with a free heart and hand, the church
stands as a monument to the most loyal
interests in church life.
Sixteen hundred dollars were raised by
means of q partial flax crop, contributed
by the farmers of the locality.
The present pastor is Rev. Charles
Martin Good of Beach.

Three 1HIVEs JAILED
were BuINDPleeERs ALSO

Three men, August Hamilton, John
Walters and S. P. Osborne, are in the
Stark county Jail on a charge of grand
larceny, or for burelarizina the photo
studio of A. ]. Osborn, on Tuesday
evening of this week.
The thieves entered by way of q coal
hole at the rear and in the morning a
lens worth about $45 and a fur-lined
overcoat representing about $50, we're
missing.
Chief CT Police Corbett was not very
long in finding the stolen property in
rooms over the Home Bakery on Sims
street, and arrested August Hamilton
and John Walters who had been occupy
ing the same and whom Police Corbett
had been watching closely for some
time on a suspicion of blind pigging.
The third man, Osborne. who came to
the city recently with supposed intention
of starting a tailor shop, was captured
Thursday morning and all three were to
have a hearing Friday afternoon before
Judge Nichols. and if sufficient evidence
is found, as seems certain, they will
be bound over to the district court.
Osborne had been around A. J..
Osborn's studio quite a little and pre-
tended to know something of the busis
ness, but was very likely spotting, as
the nature of the theft would indicate
that they knew what they were doing.
Hamilton and Walters will also
answer a charge of distributing wet
goUds around the city.
Hamilton and Walters came here from
the east some time ago.

in the shop. The proprietor, George
Berzel, is unable to tell just how the fire
started, which was ex%tinguished by the
department, leaving just the shell in
the rear part. The risk was carried
in the r. H. Johnson Co. in the
First National bank. One of the ad-
justers was here Wednesday and adjusted
the damage on building and machinery
at $438. Mr.. Berzel also carried a

$4,000 CHURCH BUILDING
is MILES SOUTH OF CITY

The thrifty farmers in the southern
part of Stark county are erecting a
costly edifice to be known as St. Plus
church. The location is is miles south
Of Dickinson at a point about two miles
west of the New England road.
Work has already commenced on the
church which is. 1906 feet long. The
Heaton Lumber Co. of Dickinson have
the contract. at something like $1.1, 900,
for the structure above the foundation.
The Pensioners make the excavation,
haul the lumber and other material,
and it is believed that the total expen-
diture will reach fully $40, 600.
Ienatz Sticka and Peter Jahnner are
among the well-to-do farmers of the new
church neighborhood, and there does not
appear to be any lack of means for the
building, which it is hoped ian be en-
closed before the weather gets too cold.

and occasionally to keep down weeds
and prevent winter killing of plants.
There are two general kinds CT
mulches. ~ Foreign material, such
as straw, leaves, sawdust, manure,
stubble and sand applied to the sur
face; ~ Those composed of natural
soil modified by tillage. One of this
kind is called "dust mulch" or "dust
blanket" and is simply layer of soil
which has been loosened up and dried
out, explains Professor Freer of the
Colorado Agricultural College.
Mulches Of toleign material play a
very small past in the general farm
ing, but are extensively used Ia
horticulture Ia some localities.
The principle of the mulch is as
follows: Loose, dry material covering
weo soil retards the movement of
water to the surface, and keeps the
dry, circulating air from contact with
the moist soil, thereby greatly reduc-
ing the loss of water.
The finer the mulch the looser 1t
must he to give good results. Ordl-
nary soil mulches two to three inches
deep are usually most effective. When
mulch becomes wet its effectiveness
is gone until 1t ls dried out again.
Light rains and irrigations on a
mulched soil are worse Than 40 ap-
plication of water, because they only
wet and destroy the mulch and allow
the water from below to escape, with
out adding any to replace it, Addi-
tional expense IL incurred by the
cultivation which must be immedi-
ately started TO restore the mulch.
A quantity Of water retained by
cultivation is Of far greater value
even where water is plentiful than
The same amount applied to the soil.
One of the great principles of dry
farming Is to keep good mulch on
The soil all the time to prevent loss Of
water by evaporation.

There are very few poultrymen who
have ever tried the experiment of
feeding oats to poultry in large guam
Titles, say at least three-fourths Of
oats 10 one fourth of all other grains,
yet tccasinnally we find one who has
zone so. During the state fair a
poultryman told US he had been
feeding oats almost exclusively to his
fowls aHd found it economical and
healthy and productive Of large
quantities. of eggs. We have always
been an advocate of oats as a feed for
lay lug hens, but have advised soak
Jog them in warm water over night
and feeding the fowls mornings. This
does away with the danger Of the
hens getting crop bound as they
might do by eating too many cats,
the husKs being especially hard on
the chickens crop. Where farmers
raise lots Of olts, no better feed can
be given to his laying hens and it
will be found to be much cheaper
than any other kind OF grain.
