a WORD TO THE WISE.

When considering where to insure your
grain remember:
That the North western Mutual Fire As.
sociation of Seattle has reduced the cost
of insurance to the farmer almost one
half.
That every loss sustained has been
paid in cash without discount within "a
hours after adjustment.
That it has eliminated the exorbitant
short rate charge.
That you pay nothing until the grain
is ripe enough to burn, no matter how
early you insure.
That all policies cover until December
31st, unless grain is sold and insurance
cancelled before.
That upon sale OF grain you surrender
policy and receive equitable rebate
That all policies are nom assessable.

"The president has been blamed be-
cause be did not veto the tariff bill. For
this he deserves praise, not blame. Inc
course he adopted called Tor wisdom,
courage and the highest order OF prac-
teal craftsmanship. A tariff law affects
every business interest OF the country
more directly than any other law. TO
have vetoed the new tariff law because
some OF the schedules were unsatisfac-
tory would have been to throw doubt
and uncertainty into the business Of the
whole country. No one could forecast
what was to happen next.
prudent men would hesitate to enter
into contracts or obligations extending
to any considerable extent into the
future. Business would naturally be re.
stricted, some factories would be closed
or put on diminished production. But
all this would mean for the country hard
times. Men cannot be thrown out OF
employment without making hard times
for them and hard times speedily spread
from the wage carriers to all others.
Will Take Tariff Out OF Politics.
1.-The tariff commission will take this
great economic questionable tarif-out
of politics and turn it over to the PEG
pie and the business interests OF the
country to the immeasurable relief OF the
whole country. repeat, that this one
great step in the interest Of wise, care
full and honest tariff reform ought to
commend the new tariff law to all the
people of this country irrespective OF
party affiliations, even if in other re-
spects the law were twice as defective as
it's enemies represent it to be.
"For these three provisions we are
largely indebted to the wisdom, the IN
faltering purpose and unwearied pa
thence of President Taft. In this work
he has given the country new proof of
his commanding ability as a practical
and progressive statesman.
Two Kinds of Reformers.
"In matters of government many a
good cause has been set back for whole
generation by the reckless impatience Of
well meaning reformers with good hearts
but Eighty heads. There are TWO types
of the political reformer. One is repre-
sented by Lincoln, the other by Wendell
Phillips. The first never fails to take
into consideration human nature as God
made it with all it's limitations and ex-
listing conditions. The other proceeds
not with reference to man as he actually
ia, as God made him, but as the reformer
believes that he ought to be. Lincoln
would save the constitution and the
Union in spite of any existing defects.
Wendell Phillips would join with CARR
son in denounciDg the constitution as a
covenant with He'll and a league with
the Devil, and he would send the consti-
tuition and the Union to both if he
couldn't have them to his liking"
The Gazette cannot follow Judge
Burke in his remarks any further at this
time. What he said on conservation
aud about his candidacy for the senate
we should like to reproduce in full.
Those who can should not fail to hear
Judge Burke if the opportunity is pre-
sented for them to do so.
