A motive that prompts men (

such a motive can be classed as po-
Iitical. but in this case such 1t APP

From a local viewpoint. notwith-

away a part of the summer and 1t
has been the Democratic hope that
they would remain away until after

to resume operations soon.
The glass factory voter appreciates
the fact that the free trade attitude
SO boldly taken by local Democracy,
and especially by the Democratic
nominee here for Congress. is a.
menace to the glaas business and
the glass workers wages. Local
Democratic leaders have declared
themselves against what the glass
workers and manufacturers succeed
ed in having Congress do as to a
tariff on glass, and thus it is easy to
see why designing members OF the
Democratic party are made sad by
the news that the glass factories are
soon to be in operation.

Certainly if an ITS promises are ex-

be within proper time. The pres
emit Congress has not only fulfilled
many party pledges, but It has by its
course set higher the standard Of
party responsibility for such pledges
than ever before in the history of
American parties. Hereafter those
who would catch voters by declara-
lions in favor OF alIurlng remedial
legislation will not make them ex-

No better conclusion OF the situa-

in view of what the present Re

fulfillment of its promises, and in
view of the standard that 1t has set
in respect to the sacredness of party
pledges, have no hesitation in
urging all who are in favor of the
performance of the remaining
pledges, who are in favor of prog

A Splendid Record.

Recounting the splendid achieve
ments of the Republican party dur
ing his administration, Mr.. Taft. in
his letter to Chairman Mckinley, OF
the Republican National Congress
sional Committee. points out that
the tariff pledges were kept as far
as 1t was possible, the theory Of pro-
lection being followed and there be-
ing a reduction made in 654 art
icles. and increases in only 220 while
1850 remained unchanged; that the
tariff commission is by the kind of
Investigation used by scientists and
statisticIans securing reliable evil
dence as to the difference between
the cost of production at home and
abroad for use in further tariff leg
islation; and that the tariff law has
turned a deficit of s5s,O00. 900 into
a surplus of $26.OOO.O0o.
Mr.. Taft also places considerable
stress on the passage OF an amend
ment to the interstate commerce bill.
as favored by the Republican nation
al platform for the purpose of giving
greater power to the commission in
regulating the operation of railroads.
In this connection he points out the
splendid usefulness of the CON-
merce court. the duties OF which are
known to the public, all tending to
prevent injustice in the matter OF
rates and transportation. He IN
sists that provision of the railroad
bill will correct evils arising from
the overissue OF stocks and bonds as
well as bringing about equity in all
public utility charges for service OF
national or Interstate character.
Mr.. Taft also points out that the
postal savings bill is one Of
the great congressional enactmepts
and that 1t has created an epoch by
institutlng a system which Will work
effectively to promote thrift among
the poor. On the subject OF labor
legislation. Mr.. Taft shows that the
present Congress passed beneficial
Jaws to tighten the burdens whlct
naturally fall upon the shoulders o.
iaboring men engaged in occupations
more or less hazardous, one Of the
important of which was the act ere
ating the bureau of mines. In on
sense. he says. the most forward
step taken In the interest of thu
worker was the creation of the con
gressional commission to report
practical bill for the fixing of work
mems compensation for injuries re
ceived in the employment OF inter
state commerce railways.
On the subject OF conservation, i
is shown by Mr.. Taft that the admin
istration policy is largely along tn
lines insisted upon by Theodor
Roosevelt while president. In
{ provements of waterways, dom
t away with the old piecemeal system
is also shown to be big forwar
step. Mr.. Taft reminds the publ
} that the Republican promise to at

Tho Spirit Of Liberty.

It was in the town that modern de-
mocracy had it's rise. Despite all the
efforts of the kings and barons to pre-
vent it, the spirit Of liberty began to
assert itself in the larger towns in the
shape of the charters which guarantee
to the people certain commercial and
political rights-rights which. once OBJ
tanned. were never to be surrendered.
Before the middle of the eleventh cen
fury there were many Of these char
tered" towns which possessed the
right of electing their own magis-
trates, sherifrs and judges and regulat-
ing their own taxes. The wretched serfs
from the country we're welcomed by
the townspeople and aided to larger
freedom. These free towns were first
known in Spain. from which country
they slowly spread over Europe. The
burgesses naturally offered protection
and freedom to all who would fee to
them from the feudal estates, and thus
but surely, the good work went
on until the ancient despotisms were
destroyed.-AreDa.

Hawks and Mountain Rats.

Poultry Farmers Scheme to Drive OF
Hawks and Mountain Rats.
John C'Speedy') Smith. poultry
farmer on Placer creek. in the heart of
the Occur d'Alene mining district, in
northern Idaho. has stationed several
talking parrots as policemen on his
ranch to drive off hawks and mountain
rats, and raids on his pens are now
things Of the past. The parrots take
kindly to the work. and by their
screening they have forced the birds
Of prey and rodents to give the ranch
wide berth.
The rats were the worst pests, and
their raids cost Smith hundreds Of dol
lars, getting into the chicken pens and
killing the pullets and hens by biting
their Threats and eating their hearts.
Since placing the parrots in the chick
en- yards and pens not hawk or a
rat has been seen, and Smith believes
he has solved a problem that has
given poultry farmers in the mountain
districts much concern during the last
five years. Farmers in other parts of
the district say they, will try the plan.

Albert Spalding astonished the musical

and two cello artists conducted the ex-
animation. The boy made forty-eight
marks out of a possible fifty. Thirty
points were sufficient to pass the test.
Upon looking up the records it was

The Hughes Electric company of
Bismarck is working out one of the
most stupendous plans of improve
ment known in the annals of the cit
At first glance one would scarcely
realize the true import of the build
ing operations in progress at their
plant. But investigation reveals a
scheme of advancement seemingly in
credible in comparison with the pres
e1t size of the city.
The Hughes company is not build
ing for the present city of Bismarck.
They are looking into future years,
fail, Bismarck will have become a
city large and beautiful, gracing with
queenly pride the eastern slope of the
Missouri. They are looking forward
to the time when Bismarck will have
grown to be great distributing point
for western North Dakota, from which
they may send out, by the modern
methods which render long distance
transmission passible, the electric
current generated here to many of
the neighboring towns and villages.
1t is with this end in view that the
massive structure is being erected.
A large force of men, under the
OF E. V. Hughes, has
been busily engaged on the project
for some weeks past. They expect
to have the new plant completed and
ready for occupancy before the first
of October.
The new electric plant will have a
frame work of solid steel. The walls
are being built of penitentiary brick.
The roof is to be constructed Of book
tile. There will not be one piece of
wood in the entire building, with the
exception of the window frames.
When completed, the structure will
measure 80 feet by "a feet, or nearly
