John Anderson, for many years the
editor and proprietor Of the Chicago
Skandinaven, the most influential
Norwegian paper in the United States,
died at his home in Chicago last
week. He had many warm friends in
Canton and enjoyed the friendship of
Thomas Thorson more, perhaps, than
any other man in the state. Mr..
Anderson was a splendid type Of his
countrymen, ruggedly honest, and a
champion of justice and equality, a
firm believer in Roosevelt and his
policies, and a safe guide where the
welfare of the people was at stake.
His great paper will continue under
the management of his son

Will This Probe Go Deep?

The Cannon-Aldrich leadership of
the Republican Party is on the de-
fensive. Widely discredited in public
opinion. the Gang is preparing to
fight to the last ditch. Driven to
bay, it is making a last stand from its
chief stronghold, the Senate OF the
United States.
OF the offenses Of which the Can
non-Aldrich management stands con-
victed in public Judgment there is one
indictment which stands out above
all others, clear-cut, we'll understood,
and conclusively proved by the daily
experience of the people. This out
rage of public right, this gross betray-
oil Of public trust, is the perfidy of the
Payne-Cannon-Aldrich tariff revision.
The cost of living advancing year
by year, the growing oppression Of
high prices, the widening disparity of
between the relative poverty Of the
many and the growing opulence Of
the few, with it's attendant menace
to democratic institutions, the daily
and obvious exploitation Of the people
by great trusts and m%onopolies operat-
ing behind the shelter Of an excessive
tarif-all these things had operated
to crystalline an irresistible public sen-
timent that the protective tariff must
be revised and revised downward.
A recognition of this public demand
was forced upon a standpat Republic
can organization when it met In Chi
cago in 1908 to place it's platform and
it's candidates before the voters Of the
country. More frankly, more honest
ly, and o fully was it recognized
and accepted in the campaign by the
party's candidate for the Presidency.
On this avowal primarily, the party
and it's candidates went before the
people Of the country and appealed
for votes. These fair promises were
accepted by the people in good faith,
and the Republican Party was re-
turned to power
The new administration was inaug-
urated. The new Congress convened
in special session and revised the tar
tiff.
The whole country now knows the
character of that revision. That the
schedules we're only juggled with,
, that the new tariff on the whole was
a revision upward is recognized or
every hand. From one end Of the
country to the other conservative

Republicans R%epudiate Cannon

"The people under the leadership
of Senator CumminS and Senator La
Toilette call themselves Republicans,
but if they are then l am something
else. "-Speaker Cannon.
Such was the declaration of CANNON
to the people of the Middle West last
October. The Speaker was on the de-
fensive. He was alarmed at the wave
Of insurgency sweeping over the cor
try. The CANNON-ALDRICH machine
was threatened by it. The leaders in
control found it necessary to go before
the rank and file of the party in an
! attempt to justify their course.
Four months have passed since
then. The CANNON -ALDRICH ma
chine is still on the defensive. 1t is
battling still more desperately to stem
the rising tide of popular revolt against
its domination in national affairs.
But there is nothing to indicate that
CANNON and ALDRICH, and their fol-
lowers, have undergone a change Of
heart. There is still less to indicate
that the sentiment Of the people who
compose the Republican party is diff
ferent in character now from what it
was four months ago.
There is only this difference: now
it is no longer a debatable question
that Cannon and Aldrich do not rep
resent the standards and the senti-
ment of the party. That fact was es-
established beyond all controversy by
the poll of Republican editors taken
by the Chicago Tribune. Seldom, if
ever, has such a condition of affairs in
a system of party government been re-
vealed as that shown by this vote.
Party leaders discreadited by the par.
ty itself more than five to one. In
England that would mean the prompt
resignation of the leaders and selec-
tion of others more in sympathy with
the will of the people. In spite of the
b%lusterings of CANNON in spite of the
quiet, sure control of ALDRICH and
his indifference to the popular will,
the fact remains-and it is one of the
big fact of to-day-that they and the
interests they represent and serve
hold a different political faith then
the masses of the people who compose
the Republican party. The party Of
CANNON has nothing in common with
the party of Lincoln.
This population of Cannon by an
overwhelming majority of Republican
editors in the twenty-six states cov-
e:ed by the Tribune's poll, forces us
to the conclusion that Cannon is in
deed something else. LA Fallette's

and later the mother married Ole
Storkson and they are now living in
this city.
She was married to M. l.. Syverud

fhey All Made Their Fortunes by
Begging.
In Austria q man who was without
feet or arms seven years ago, lacking
two months, sentenced to hard labor
for that term of years, is said to be
well and hearty and with eager longing
looks forward to the day when he shall
be liberated. Simon Oppasich is his
name. Born legless and armless, he
managed in the course of fifty years to
make purely by begging 100000, n
this huge sum he was in the habit OF
carrying about with him by day n
hiding in the wall Of the cellar where
he slept by night. He got into trou-
bic with the Austrian police by declar-
ing that he was destitute and taking
an oath to that effect.
Lately in England died one Isaac
Gordon, who had been a professional
beggar, and when he was picked up
lifeless out Of the street it was found
that he had $4,000 on his person. And
q writing was likewise found that sig
nifes hat he had made a will. Nolun-
teer heirs are coming forward in num-
bers.
The miser Of the story book usually
boards his money In good red gold un-
der the hearthstone or in some such
uncomfortable spot. Real misers OF
to-day seem as q rule to prefer bank
notes. They are certainly more easy
to handle. Tori, a notorious Italian
beggar and miser, who died a little
time ago, after a life of gripping want
and misery, left 100000, all of which
was hidden in boxes, tins and behind
the tattered wallpaper in his room. 1t
was almost entirely in paper money.

died at Auxerre, in France, in 1898, eft

wealth he had invested in rare wine.
No less than 400 bottles of n very

he himself had never so much-as tast.

in LaValley township, was playing
outside the door with a pet dog, when
Mrs. Dickens was called to the tele-

when she returned, she could find no
trace of her baby. Up to Thursday at
2 O'Clock the entire population have
been unable to find any clue as to
what has become OF the little darling.
The parents are nearly crazed with
grief and anxiety. Mrs. Dickens is a

followed by plenty rain, late planted
potatoes do the best: but if the dry
spells occurs in the latter half Of the
growing season, early planting gives
the best results. Here, as in many
other cases, the farmer must take
chances.
There are two methods of planting,
the hill and the drill. The only ex-
cuse for the hill planting is to make
it easier to get rid Of the weeds. The
important question that comes up is.
How much seed should be used per
acre? Ordinarily farmers plant about
eight bushels, but the results of ex-
periments in Minnesota show that
eleven bushels are more profitable
than eight. This depends a good deal
on the price of potatoes, however.
Most farmers must cut their pota-
toes by hand, and a rapid way of cut
ting them is to stick a sharp knife in
a board and cut the tubers by pushing
them against the knife. 1t is needless
to say that no piece Of potato will

Most farmers neglect to harrow
their potatoes after they are planted.
Once a week is none too often. 1t
keeps the weeds down, keeps the land
in proper condition, and should be
continued until they are large enough
to cultivate. Many farmers fail be-
cause they do not give their potatoes
sufficient cultivation. One Of the
great enemies of the potato crop is
drouth, and the more thorough the
cultivation, the more moisture is con-
served and therefore available for the
plant, and the more food is set free
for the use of the plan. Pota toes
should be cultivate once a week from
the time the rows can be followed till
the c%ultivator wheels injure the plants.
There is nothing to be gained, but
much to be lost by ridging up pota-
toes. Give them level culture. The
first cultivation may be fairly close,
if there is plenty of moisture in the
soil; but after the first cultivation

never more than two or three inches
deep. The farmer who cultivates his
crop for the last time by killing it up,
laying by, as he calls 1T, will very often
find that the plants seem to stop grow
ing. Why? Because he has run the
shovels deeper than usual and prob
ably a little closer to the plant, and
has cut off a number of the large roots.
In short, follow the same methods
with potatoes that you do with corn,
where the land has been we'll prepared

We are quite we'll satisfied from OBJ.

use or for the market. he should aim

Cultivate your Potatoes.

Wallaces' Farmer: 1t may. surprise
some of our readers to learn that the
United States with its vast extent of
territory, wide range of climate and
great variety of soils, seldom produce
potatoes enough to supply the wants
OF it's own people. Even o the east
ern cities are eating potatoes impor-
ted from Scotland and Ireland, pay
ing duty.
There are sections where the soil is
suitable for the growth of the potato,
and where there are ready of
transportation, where farmers go into
the business in a large way, using po-
tato planters and diggers, and secur-
ing large returns when the habits of
the plant are studied closely and the
soil kept free from potato scab. Most
farmers, however;grOw potatoes main
lv for their own use. But whether
grown for their own use or for the
market, it is important that h sub
ject should be studied carefully. We
therefore avail ourselves of a bulletin
recently issued by the University of
Minnesota, giving results of expert
ments in that state.
There, as in every other state, a
better quality of potatoes is produced
on a sandy loan soil than on soils
containing a large amount Of clay.
Not only Is the quality better, but
they are produced with less labor and
less expense. Potatoes grown in soil
of this kind are not so likely to he
affected with brown rot as those grown
on heavier soils. Potatoes do best on
new land, which is available in Mime
sofa but not in the older states, and
the best substitute is a clover sod. If
this is MANFRED in the fall and the
n plowed under before winter,
all the better. The %favorite rotation
in the southern part of u territory
however, is corn grown on clover sod,
followed by potatoes, and this by win
ter wheat.
If the land is plowed in the fall, it
should be plowed deep; for potatoes
OtSllc q uCSpIy lOOoCIlCu oOll- oCFCu
inches is about the minimum. If
plowed in the spring not more than
an inch of new land should be thrown
up, and underno circumstances should
this land be plowed wet. If plowed
wet, it will almost inevitably become
lumpy, and this means that a large
per cent of the soil will be out Of bus-
mess for that year. Whether plowed
in the fall or the spring, it should be
disked thoroughly and repeatedly in
order to put the soil in the very best
possible physical condition. Weeds
are the most formidable enemy of
the potato, and hence the land after
blowing should be narrowed once a
week or disked thoroughly before
planting.
We are frequently asked as to the
time for planting potatoes. The best
time for planting them will vary from
year to year. If the season is dry and
