- 8 there to be a new party? Is the
country about to pass through an
other political upheavat similar to
& that before the civil war. when
the Republican party was born? Is
the talk of President Hugh T. Halbert
of the Roosevelt club OF St Paul that
a new though unnamed party Is al
ready in existence and that its leaders
are Theodore Roosevelt, Clifford Pin
chot and James r. Garfield to be taken
literally? Are the fighting speech"
OF Pinchot and the almost equally rad
ical one of Garfield at the same place
and time to be regarded as indorse-
ments Of Halbert's assertion? These
are questions now profoundly agttat-
ing the country questions which only
the people themselves can answer.
It is true that a brief denial went
out and was published in a few papers
to the effect that Pinchot and Garfield
disclatmed any designs Of starting
literal party. Yet their speeches were
the most bitter arraignments OF both
dominant parties that have appeared

can an onslaught, from the, outside be
made except by fighting force on the
outside? And does not such a fighting
force in itself Constitute new party?
Have not these men placed them
selves without the party breastworks,
whether they will or not? Could they
get back even if they wished? May
they not have started a movement
that they themselves cannot control,
at least to the extent off keeping IT
within the old party lines? THE voters
govern the formation of parties, and If
the voters through the conservation
and insurgent' movements. have become
ready for Independent political action
may not the words of HaIbert, backed
by the implied support of P1nchot and
Garfield. be sufficient to give this new
force definite direction? What IS a

Farmers union in the south. which
claims millions OF members. is pre-
cluded by it's rules from going into
politics as an organization, but there
is nothing to prevent its members from
doing So Altogether the situation is
pregnant with possibilities. The cor
poration issue has already divided the
country into two vast camps. the line

I believe am right in saying that many
OF these corporations have bean a great

lation Of congress which would conserve
the coal of Alaska and prevent its being
stolen. We have not been needed
We have had enough OF that cry Don't
disturb the business interestBp and of
that policy OF Let well enough alone"
Such statements coming from such
men either mean something or they do
not. Pinchot and Garfield were the
particular chums of Roosevelt. and
here in a Roosevelt club we find the
names of the three men coupled. More
over, Pinchot had come fresh from an
interview with his former chief. II
these facts are not significant, then
this writer knows nothing OF political
signs.
OF even more moment is the 1nsur-
gent movement in congress. Men
like La Toilette. Cummins, Dolliver.
Beveridge. Clapp and Bristow in the
senate and Norris. Murdoch, Poindex-
ter, Hamilton Fish and Fowler In the
house have shown that they could be
in earnest; that they could not be In
Inundated, fooled or sidetracked. They
have insisted that they were fighting
within their party, but some of them
have added significantly that they
were being driven out.
In the early ffties prominent Wings
and Democrats also insisted that they
were fighting within their parties, yet
in 1854 they began moving in a body
to form a new party. Has history
ceased to repeat itself? Is there not
now an equally fundamental issue in
volved? May not the very logic OF
events force these men into a new or
ganization, whether they will or not?
Has not the presence of the special
interests in politics already created
an actual division. as pointed * by
Halbert, even though 1t is not - rly
recognized or named? Issues make
parties, and is there not here a big
enough issue to compel a political re-
alignment?
1t is well enough to gloss these
things over, but the wise man does not
dodge facts. Are the facts as stated
by Pinchot? If so, is there any way
to conserve popular rule, is there any
way to drive the special interests out
Of politics, except for those who favor
the people and who oppose the special
interests to get together? Will not
this very getting together constitute a
new party in the nature of the case?
Is there any escape from the conclu-
sion?

should be treated the same as the man

who steals a public franchise is equally a

THE "BlG BROTHER" MovEMEN
idea That Had It's Inception in New
York City Has Resulted in
Much Good.

The big Brother" movement. which
started in New York city, has proved
SO successful that 1t is being organized
in other cities. The idea practicable
wherever there are men who are in
terested in boys who have gone wrong
or are In danger Of going wrong, and
boys who thus need help. 1t calls for
no organization. and the town is as
fruitful a field as the city. It sim
ply means the adoption of the idea by
man who is in earnest. e. X. Coul-
ter Of New York, is the father OF the
movement, which there works in con-
junction with the Juvenile courts,
Each man takes as his special "ittIe
brother" q boy whose environment
tends to drag him downward. He In.
vites him to his home, and visits the
boys home from time to time. shows
him something better than he has
known. or could know without this
friendship: wins his confidence. and
uses every means to awaken higher
ideals. Mr.. Coulter says: There is
nothing a boy likes better than some
friend older and OF higher position. to
whom he can look for help. II at any
time you can give a boy of the street
ten minutes Of your time, or can visit
him for quarter of an hour at HIS
home. to talk seriously and eneonr.
agingly to him. you are doing that how
good. That is the principle underly-
ing the 'Big Brother movement"

DAIRY NOTES.

Save the heifers from the best milk
cows.
Don't add sweet cream to sour, then
churn right away.
Don't let high prices tempt you to
sell your best stock.
Use clover or alfalfa hay or bran
to balance the corn ration.
Follow the directions that come with
the separator and save trouble.
When cows teats are sore use vase
line and she'll stop stepping around.
Cows relish change and for that
reason will sometimes eat rotten hay.
Good wheat bran is hard to beat
as milk producer, If properly mixed
with roughness- say clover or alfalfa
hay.
The cream separator enters into
the matter of the production of pure
cream as one OF the great factors of
cleanliness.
Washing the farm separator is much
easier than washing the full quota Of
utensils as they we're used before the
day Of the separator.
Dairy cows arc unlike beef ami
mails. They are not protected from
the cold by thick coat Of flesh. They
must be protected and kept warm or
they will use the feed you give them
to warm themselves.
The COW which has been we'll fed
from calfhood and given other care
which is her due, Is the one that can
be depended on to- keep up the
record Of her dam. or to go her one
better.

MANY ACRES SET TO ORCHARD
Western sIopers Expected to Plant
More Ground to Fruit Culture
Than Ever Before.

With all the planting that has been
done it now looks as if 1t were only
a scratching as compared with the
great work the western slopers are
going to pull eff. More acres will be
set to orchard III that region this
spring than have ever been set in one
year since the fruit industry began.
The bug is for more winter apples of
the finer qualities and year by year
the list is narrowing down until finally
1t is expected that the recommends
tion will be for only two or three sorts
for general planting. All of the irri-
gated sections have been heavy pur-
chasers Of nursery stock. The com
pletion of some large irrigation prof
ects during the coming year will mean
another large area of new orchards in
the future. Several companies on that
side of the mountains will be putting
out thousands of acres and some
people are wondering when the thing
will quit or if there is any danger Of
having too many trees.

down at such a time, particularly with
garden crops or melons, may mean
the loss of the crop and 1t is highly
important, therefore, that there be
some reserve supply of water against
such emergencies. There are also 9TH

GENERAL FARM NOTES.

Scrub breeds on the farm are very
likely to keep you down to scrut
bank account.
South of Iowa there is little use to
try the rutabaga, as it requires a cool
err climate.
Dig parsnips any day the ground
thaws. Put them in the cellar and
cover with moist earth.
Do you sometimes envy your mer.
chant or your banker his success?
Then try systematizing your business,
as he does
If all the fence corners and waste
spots now given over to worthless
weeds were planted in fruit trees the
face of the landscape would be
changed for the better.
A good, soft bed of clean straw is
highly appreciated by all kinds of
farm animals except the hens. Hens.
as rule, are above sleeping on any
kind of bed.
When giving the hired man work to
do these winter days, put yourself
in his place and remember that he has
some hardships to endure. It is yery
easy to sit by a, warm fire and tell
the other fellow what to do out in the
cold.
Now is the time to make your plans
for a good garden. Make all your
preparations SO that you can plant
everything ut the right time. You
might give the bow some interoot In
the profits that are made SO that he
will feel that it is worth while to
work.

Il. A deep, friable soil.
q. Sufficient rainfall which comes

time as to be of greatest service to

%. Light evaporation, SO that all
possible rain that comes may be saved
