WHY WE ARE INDEPENDENT.
1t has become plainly apparent

1t has become plainly apparent
to any one at all interested in pub
ic affairs that the two leading po-
litical parties of this country have
outlived their usefulness. Both of
them have repeatedly and deliber-
atively violated the promises they
have made the people. The preda-
tory interests have now perfected
their bipartisan control Of public
affairs to such an extent that they
feel absolutely secure in their abil-
ity to control congress and legisla-
lures and the courts regardless of
! which party secures the power and
the Offices. The time was when the
Tribune believed that the only hope
of the country was the organization
of new party Of men who might
be depended upon to stand true to
the peoples interests. We fought
hard and sacrificed much for this
belief. Experience proved how
ever that it is we'll nigh impossible
to create new party unless there
is some great upheaval or crisis
that will give it an immediate hold
upon the people. Then under our
present system the new party would
be fortunate if it came to power
and succeeded in accomplishing
anything before the same corrupt
ing powers would secure control of
its leaders.
We have come more firmly to the
belief that the evils of our day
must be corrected, if they are to be
corrected at all. by curbing the
power of the existing parties for
evil by laws and measures that will
practically destroy the parties in
the sense that we have known them
during the past history of this re-
public. The direct primary was a
step in the right direction. Direct
legislation will force the people to
rally around issues instead of party
names that mean nothing except
office for the crowd that may by
hook or crook secure control of the
party organization.
Extend the idea of popular selec.
ton of officials regardless of party
names, give the people the right OF
veto and of recalling bad officials
and then finally abolish party names
from the official ballot.
Nothing will prevent citizens
from forming parties in the best
sense to carry out any idea or pro.
gram desired. but it will deprive
the corrupter and the schemer Of
the best ally he has TODAY, namely
the blind loyalty to old party name:
of large element of the people.

THE FARM HORSE.
u Properly Managed He VIII Add to
Profits of Owner

Fronts OF owner.
Farmers who have made a careful
study of farm economics have discov-
cred that the horse, as ordinarily kept
and managed, is one of the most ex-
pensive farm laborers. II properly
managed the farm horse may be made
to pay his way and add to the profits
of the farm. Statistics compiled by
tho Minnesota Experiment Station
through the years from 1904 to 1907,
inclusive, show that in the southeast
ern part of the state It costs $90.39
per year to maintain the average farm
horse and that in return the horse is
doing, on an average, 977 hours Of
work per year. His labor is costing
the farmer go cents per hour. In the
northwestern part of the state it costs
$75.08 to maintain a horse and in re-
turn he is doing 1,025 hours work per
year. His work is costing "a cents
per hour. If the horse is to keep up
his end of the profit making he must
earn something in addition to the
actual labor be performs and not as

Birds That Moved Too Soon.
1t may be asserted. with considera-
BILE degree of probability. that there
is no one natural factor more destruc-
tive to bird life than the migratory
habit. Here is a we'll known instance.
One night In March there was an i'm
mense migration Of Lapland longspurs
over Minnesota. A wet snowstorm
came on. chilling and bewildering the
birds. Over an area estimated at hum
dreds Of square miles dead birds were
found. In the towns and cities they
swept them up and carted them of.
On wide lakes the ice was dotted with
them in oil directions. about foot or
two apart. The number that persisted
at that time was doubtless in the MIL
uons.-Outing. /

All this Is as plain as MONDAY. But
the distressing fact is that Mr.. Aldrich

be responsible for more national waste
than he can ever hope to repair He
