lar before the struggle over the tariff
began, and that struggle increased the
enmity that was felt toward them.
We cannot estimate the effect of
factional fighting on the elections at
this time, but it is certain that the
progressive republicans read the public
mind Alright and took. the course that
was dictated by sound craftsmanship.
While the standpatters were stand
ing pat and glorying in the tariff bill
that they had manufactured, the bill
was being roundly denounced as un-
just all over the land. 1t was thought
that it was a bill of special privileges,
one that benefited the few at the ex-
pense of the many, and it became an
important factor in the discussions
that were raised over prices. How
far the tariff really has, affected prices
it would be difficult to say, but the
feeling was that it might have exer-
cised considerable influence and also
that it was far from fulfilling the re-
publican promises of a downward re-
vision.
St. Paul Dispatch-It was the whirl-
wind Of diScOntent with standpat con-
gressmen that has swept the republi-
can party out of power in the house
and the results in the state elections
are but the wrecks which line the
path of the storm. When political
vengeance is to be exacted people is
not overcareful in limiting the objects
Of its wrath. 1t is out to punish, and
in selecting its subjects, is prone to
include the entire association.
1t had entered the tariff upon its
books to the debit Of the republican
party and was squaring the account
wherever an asset was visible.
Minnesota results offer the most
convincing testimony to the truth of
this. OF the nine congressman from
this state eight voted against and one
voted for the Payne-Aldrich measure.
The eight have been triumphantly
reelected and the one has been in
gloriously defeated. The eight rep
resented the predominant sentiment
of the state, and as part of the result
Minnesota holds fast to the republican
moorings from which so many of her
sister states have impetuously cut
loose. Progressive sentiment was
state and party sentiment, and to
this may be attributed the fact, while
states equally strong in the republican
faith fell into the destruction sweep,
Minnesota was plucked like brand
from the burning.

Feeding For Eggs.

II a hen has enough Of the right
kind of food, she will lay, provided
she is of the laying age. Most laying
hens get zoo much Of a grain diet,
they need animal food and green food
as we'll. II the food lacks In protein,
they cannot lay eggs in the quantity
they would with 1t. Green cut-bone
is one Of the best egg foods fowls can
have, as well as one of the cheapest.
If every neighborhood where there Is
a gasoline engine had power bone
cutter, we venture to say there would
be no lack of a market for the bone,
and that the mum Der of eggs market
ed from that neighborhood would be
tremendously increased. Dry bone
cannot take the place of the green
bone. If green bone can not be had,
better buy good quality Of beef
scraps.
We can, in a measure, keep our
cake and eat it too; or In other words,
coax our hens to lay through the win
ter and yet get fertile eggs in the
spring, by feeding whole grain, green
food and green cut-bone through the
winter instead Of soft mashes with
condiments and egg powders.
Hard, sharp grit and plenty OF
water are also essentials for egg pro-
puction.--W Wallaces Farmer.

PRESS COMMENT ON DEMOCRA-
TIC VICTORY.

N. Y. American The verdict OF
the people yesterday does not mean
that the people love the democratic
party more, but that they love the re.
publican party less. In their protest
against the high cost of living, against
the tariff and the trusts, the people
have been thrown back into the arms
of surprised and dubious democracy

minds that the republican Waterloo
is the outcome of nation wide diSap-
pointment over the legislation in re-
vision of the tariff. The Aldrich- Payne
act has been interpreted as a weak
and worse than weak compromise with
the all powerful interests whose huge
profits, fortified by privilege, have
been drawn from the pockets of the
people. In the face of the climbing
cost of the common accessories the
act devised by Aldrich, Payne, Cannon,
and the men who stood be hind them
we're more than disappointment
1t was an affront. And the people
have replied. This was the force be-
hind the democratic campaign, and
though it was modified by local issues,
and mitigated by active progressivism
in several states. there is no excuse
for misreading its message. .....
1t is not possible, however, at this
hour of inchoate figures to analyze
specific conditions and results, much
less forecast their definite effects.
This must come with the complete
returns.

was 2,977 100000. The present crop
exceeds that record by nearly 3OO, ,00o,-
600 bushels. The figures on quality
show the present crop average to be
S7.2, or B per cent higher than last
year. The improvement made in the
final report was due to the exception
ally favorable weather during the per-
iod when the corn was maturing.
Probably owing to the special care
given to the selection of seed corn
throughout the corn belt, the yield
per acre rose to 27.4 bushels. or two
bushels per acre more than last year
The government report showed not
only that the new crop was large. but
that the amount of old corn in the
bin was considerably larger than at
the corresponding time last year.
The prospect is for lower corn prices,
with corresponding increase in feed
ing, and lower prices for meals.
Although the election worked some
disturbance to current business, COM
mercial reports for last week were
more uniformly favorable than for
some time past. Cold weather stimu-

are being shipped in large quantities.
In some of the cities holiday open
ings are being advertised, and the
campaign for early shopping begun.
Money continues in active demand
and firm rates are maintained. The
movement of cash to the interior for
crop moving is believed to be about
spent. National banks are expecting

a week or two.-Sioux City Journal.

republican corruption in high places
in New York, Ohio and in Pen
nSylvania, and the rotten rubber
trust formed bv Aldrich through tar
if manipulation, forced the coun-
try to expect a democratic victory.
Hale and his boss system Of rubber
manipulation in Maine gave that
state to the democrats in Septem ber
Massachusetts, demanded her pound
of flesh in the tariff robbery and the
people of that state rebelled, and so it
went from bad to worse until the peo-
pie were heard in Novem Der, and
their answer is hailed as a democratic
victory. 1t is nothing of the kind.
Republicans voted for democrats in
standpat States in order to clean out
unfaithful servants enemies Of the

The downward course of the repub-
lican party began when President
Taft showed contempt for Col. Roose-
velt and his policies by selecting the
men he did for cabinet positions, and
the entire country recognized it as a
standpat deal.
Presi dent Taft may or may not be
candidate in 1912, but it is certain,
however, he cannot be nominated,
and if it were possible for him to be
nominated he could not be elected.
The people have lost all confidence in
him as statesman and leader and
as true representative of the people.
The LEADER has been convinced
for nearly year that Colonel Roose-
velt is the only man who can unite
the progressive elements and win a
splendid republican victory in 1912,
and Wall Street and Tammany will
have to swallow the new nationalism

TAFT ALSO WEAKENS PARTY.

President Taft said in a speech to
Yale students in June 1909, that If
the republican party did not keep it's
pledge for downward revision OF the
tariff it was liable to defeat.
After the tariff monstrosity had re-
ceived the approval Of President Taft
he came west to say to the people or
Minnesota that Jim Tawney was right
and that all other republican con-
gressmen from that state were wrong,
and that the people were not capable
OF tariff education or words to that
effect. He said in defending Tawney
and all others who sustained the trust
features of the tariff:
"I am here to justify those who so
Voted
In thus defending men who had be-
trayed the people by refusing to carry
out platform pledges he hit the party
a tremendous blow and turned the re
publicans of the west against him.
President Taft betrayed Col. Roose-
velt by joining hands with those who
had fought Roosevelt and his policies.
President Taft supported Aldrich
and Cannon in their efforts to destroy
men in the house and senate who
dared to sustain honest republican
measures and carry out the tariff
pledge of the platform.
President Taft, through the advice
of his postmaster general, sought to
bulldoze progressives into support OF
trust measures by refusing to recog-
nize their right to patronage. When
too late he sought to escape the COW
arlly blunder forced upon him by
Hitchcock.
The President has blundered all
through his administration, and his
first fatal step was when he tiled his
cabinet with enemies of Roosevelt
and his policies, and none were so OBJ
noxious to the people at large as
Ballinger and Ballinger's tool NC
Hare, whose chief claim to recogni'
tion was his personal abuse of Col
Roosevelt. McHarg, for appearance
sake, resigned his position but was
given better place at much higher
salary.
That is the way President Taft car
ried out the Roosevelt policies, and ht
seemed to think that the people didn't
care what he did as ''titular head" o.
the party whose solidarity" in th'
interests of the tariff robbing trusts
he considered of more importance
than principle or platform pledge.
Coupled with the blunders of th'
administration came the exposure o

to the scene of the disaster, four steam
