Omar ID. Gray, of the Sturgeon
Leader. ran for the nomination
for Congress two years ago. and
here now is what he says of the
game of politics:
The brewers contributed $12.-
600 each to the campaign funds
of both the Democrats and Repub-
licans in Missouri and the pOliti-
clans of both sides agreed to do all
in their power TO defeat prohibi-
ton. That's the kind of a deal
the people get. The politicians
always trade the people out of the
game. My, but politics is rotten
and the politicians assist greatly
in making it so. The editor Of
the Leader has learned enough of
the inside working of politics to
know what he says is true. And
every day we become more dis
gusted with the game. II is a
game of graft, of deceit, of in
trigue, of corruption and dis
honesty. The game is to win.
Both parties lie and cheat to gain
a victory. Truth is foreign to
politics.

GROUND BURNS.
Origin Of Many Great Forest
Fires.

One Of the strangest facts oh
served in the forest fires in the
North and West is the burning OF
the ground. Falling leaves. bark
and twigs and dying plant life
gradually accumulate in the
forests. The rains and dense shade
keep the mass damp. Moses in
time, grow upon the surface of the
decaying vegetation. The half
rotten accumulation settles down
and hardens. Trees spring up and
take their roots in the peaty snb-
stance.
Then comes a season Of drought
and the dampness evapOratcs. A
huntsman, woOdman or farmer
builds a fire or possible railroad
engines drop sparks and a slow
cancer of fire eats deep among The
roots and shoulders for mouths.
Should a strong wind spring up,
the trees already undermined Ivy
the fire, topple over and the roots
throw off sparks. Flames burst
out and with rapidity spread
throughout the forest.
A forest fire which Occurre in
Northern Minnesota few weeks
ago broke ont in many places 1T
once, because many of these sub
teranean fires were in existence
and only awaiting for a wind
which appeared on October Z. In
this fire about 10000 square miles
of timber burned. The villages of
Beaudette, with a population of
l,2O0 and SpOOner. with $50. were
wiped out of existence in an hour.
Hundreds of "hOmesteaders" who
were carving their homes out Of
the forest saved their lives only
by lowering themselves into deep
wells or plunging into streams
and pools. Thirty lives were lost
and 5000 persons were left home
less.
