China S Reform.

When Prince Tsai-Tsao and his suite
returned to China after their tour of the
world they took back with them many
machines to show their people what up
to-date nations are doing. Among 9th
ers they took gallows and a guillotine.
Why both? II China is reforming its
methods of executing the death SEN
tence, why should it want two different
instruments of death? Would it not be
simpler to use but one2 So it would
seem to an Occidental mind; not so to
an Oriental? Just as we recognize de-
grees in homicide, so the Chinese recog-
nize degrees in death.
China stillretains capital punishment
in the form of the subdivision of the
criminal into ia pieces That is the
worst form. It is considered to be too
barbarous for a reformed and modern
lied China. Therefore all the grades of
capital punishment are to be merged in
two, Of which the galIows and the gull
lotine are the synthesis.
The gallows is consistent with the an
cient form Of Chinese religion. The evil
doer dies, it is true, but as his head is
not separated from the body the soul
has still hope of salvation in the realms
beyond the grave.
1t is quite another matter with the
guillotiue. When the penalty is inflicted
with this the head is severed from the

Draining the Land.

No farmer should dodge the wet spots
in his fields. A few dollars spent in
drainage will make these spots yield
valuable crops, and will make the cul-
tivation Of the whole field more con-
venient.
Don't wait for nature to drain the
wet lands without assistance. Nature
alone did not remove the stumps and
stones from the wooded, stony lands.
Don't let the damaging water get on
the land if it can be prevented. An
ounce of prevention is worth pound
of cure in drainage.
Don't think it takes wizard to lay
tile properly Have a survey made suf-
tlcient in detail TO show that there is
sufficient fall. An intelligent use of
this fall will then insure success.
Don't install a part of a drainage sys-
tern to which the remainder of the sys-
tenn cannot later be joined with adj
vantage.
Don't let the waste banks of bitches
grow up in weeds. Get them sodded
and make them both valuable and at
tractive.
Don't let outlet bitches remain idle
when they should be working Have
surface bitches and tile to keep them
busy.
Don't spend dollar for small bitches
or tile on marsh until an outlet is
assured.
Don't fail to give land drainage the
attention and thought it deserves. Prof.

This Campaigns Augury.

In less than one month the campaign
will close. Politics is the one subject Of
ever commanding interest in this coun-
try. This is because every man, high
or low, rich or poor has an individual
relationship to politics. Where the
people vote, this is bound to be true.
In a monarchy, with power Of legisa-
ton and execution vested in heredi-
tary ruler, the people take what comes
as natural matter Of course. But
here, every individual is factor in
government. Every individual is ac-
cordingly asscrtive, and as a rule given
to the proclamation of his views.
In the present campaign there has
been far more than usual interest. In
it the individual has been unusually in
sistent lie has refused to be led by
the old leaders. He has been doing his
own thinking and has had the nerve to
act in accordance with his convictions.
As result there has been almost po-
litical revolution throughout the coun-
try. Party lines have got into a tangle.
Party names don't mean the same old
thirg. There are new alignments in
side and outside Of parties The indie
pendent thinker has been holder than
at any time since Grover Cleveland ran
for the Presidency in 1884. He has be-
come far more numerous than he was
then He has come to number about
as many as the regulars of either of the
old parties lie has also come to know
his strength and the old party which
does make successful appeal TO him
goes under. We are thus reaching an
ideal political condition. There is only
truth in the old contention That this is a
government by parties, but with so tre-
mendous portion of the plebiscite out
side Of parties, or willing to follow the
best party, each party must prove fit
ness for government to the satisfaction
of the uncollared plutocrat, or it must
give way to its opponent The inde-
pendent serves thus as a check upon the
doing or nlismanagement of both par
ties. He says to them be good cr get
out. " And to win they must obey. I
All this is the secret of the swiftly shift
ing trend Of the politics Of to-day. Men
say radicalism is rampant. 1t is not
exactly true. 1t is merely the indie
pendent voter rebuking his party or the
other fellows party for having been
content with power without rendering
service in exchange. 1t is merely hon
esty calling for government in closer
accord with the interests Of the people

Senate one Of its ablest members. Dol
liver was a figure Of more than national
prominence. He was recognized al
home and abroad as one Of the greatest
tariff experts in the commercial world.
He was better posted as to the trade
relations with different countries than
any other member Of the Senate.
Dolliver was a man Of unusual abili-
ty He was a word painter, a politician,
a profound thinker and an able lawyer.
He came originally from Virginia,
being born near Kingwood, in the his
toric county Of Preston. He graduated
from the West Virginia University, and
never held political office until the
Fifty-frst Congress, when he was elect
ed to represent the Tenth Congressional
district Of Iowa. 1t was in 1890 be was
named to fill the vacancy in the
Senate caused by the death Of Senator
John ]. Seerly. Since his first election
to the Fifty-frst Congress he had been
constantly a Representative of his State
in Congress.
He had been one of the most conspic-
uous figures in the political affairs Of
the country. He had been regarded as
one Of the exceptionally gifted orators
of the United States.
At his home, in Fort Dodge, he was
a quite and conservative figure. No one
seeing him for the first time could I'M
derstand the immense influence he ex-
ereised throughout the State He was
regarded by those who knew him well
as a superior man. He was respected
by all and looked upon as natural
leader of men.
1t is related that he could take ordi-
nary, commonplace English words and
make them do acrobatic feats that be-
wildered ordinary orators. When he
arose to speak in Washington the gall
leries quickly filed His support of
measure usually meant its success, his
opposition meant failure.
He was a man of convictions and had
the nerve to oppose the views of the
President. He was opposed to the East
debating tariff laws which were ruinous
to the South and West and which were
passed merely to protect the interests OF
the East. He opposed Senator Aldrich
bitterly, and while he was not strong
enough to defeat the combined strength
Of the Senate and House of Representa-
tives for the tariff law, he did succeed
in creating a sentiment of opposition in
Congress which has now reached across
the continent.
Had he lived, Senator Deliver would
no doubt have been the progressive
candidate for President He was the
choice of Theodore Roosevelt and was
the father Of the progressive
party.
His loss will be distinctly felt in the
Congress.
