OF dependence is Whaling and enerVat-
ing. The strength of the republic is
not with the individual leader. but 1t Is
with h men constituting the rank and
file, every year decimated and every
year recruited. The best hope OF the
country is In h self relianee OF It's
people-in their ability always to care
for themselves and from their own
number to choose the leader represent
alive for the time being of their Will
and purpose.
YES, HULL WOULD BE WISE"
LDes Moines Capital.
Because q weekly periodical edited
and published by Senator Bob La Fol
lette, which makes a specially OF as
saulting every public man who does not
subscribe to the La Toilette creed, has
utilized one issue in turning its batter
les upon Congressman John A. T.. u
of this district. demand is made by
certain La Toilette echoes in Iowa that
Captain Hull make reply.
We believe that Captain Hull will be
wise in concluding that no reply IS
necessary. He is not answerable TO
any Wisconsin populist for his public
record. For twenty years he has never
beer afraid to meet his constituents
face to face and discuss public ques-
lions with them.
There is no more reason why Hull
should make answer TO La Toilette IN
this Seventh district campaign than
there would be that La Toilette IN his
forthcoming Wisconsin campaign
should make specific reply to a long
series Of questions ~propouuded by u
WHY THE EDITOR FLoPPED.
Manson ~Journall.
Great ado is being made by the in
surgents over the fact that Editor
Hotchkiss, of LAX City, has come u
in favor of the cause of insurrection.
/, was noticed that soon after he came
out in an article showing that he had
Topped. the announcement was made
that his son had been recommended for
the postoffice at Lake Ci1y. That town
is in the Tenth congressional district,
and Frank P. Woods is its congress
man. but he is not a stindpatter, by a
Hotchkiss for the p~ostofice, and it is
only natural that his pap should some

some significance. The statement that
the editor Topped is about all the truth
there is in the item. The appointment
referred to was a son-in-law OK Mr..
H, and i. was made a year ago, so
that il could not have very much bear
ing Upon the case at this time.
BACK TO THE FARM" BUSINESS.
Manson Democratl.
A nation wide back to the farm"
movement was inaugurated in st.
Louis on May 5. The idea is to get
as many people as possible to move
from the cities 10 the farms and remain
there. Al especial effort Will be made
to get the young men and women TO
move back TO the farm and also TO keep
those already there right there where
they are. This is a fine scheme, but
It will be pretty difficult to work it
out properly and make it a success. Inc
boys n girls who are sensible n
honest are staying On the farm with
out any pressure being brought to bear
upon them. They realize that it is the
very best place for them. The farm
boys and girls who are fleeing from
the clods are the guys and guineas
who love the glare OF the town lights
and are not satisfied with listening to
the low Of the kline and the clucking
OF the humble. busy, money-making
hen. They are satisfied with only
the asthmatic voice of the photograph
and the lure of the moving picture
show, with cigarets and booze for
him" and a street car ride 20 the park
and ice cream for "her." Just
enough to pay room rent and buy a
meal ticket at a cheap "eatery" with
a little left owe for green shoes, blase
clothes, hell roaring neckties, peekaboo
waists, street car fare n picture
show tickets is all they ask, and they'll
live forever in a foul smelling city and
! make all kinds of fun of every honest
farmer boy and girl that happens into
town. The wages of the city youth are
now so low that he canno scrape up
enough o to buy pants that Will
cover his ankles and his girl can no
buy enough cloth to make q dress that
will fit up around the neck and cover
up her pale blue hide whent the weather
turns the least bit cold. WHAT'S the
use in trying to save such numbskulls:
They would not work for the fat wages
they can get in the country a
there's no place to go" and they take
starvation wages in the cities because
there's always a chance to promenade
around under the electric lights and
show of without paying a cent. Lee
such people go to the devil and starve
Don't try to pull them out on thu
farms 10 make the honest occupation
Of farming ridiculous.
ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAWS.
[Algona Republican,.
The Times-Republican, commenting
upon judicial discretion, says:
"In New York, District Attorne.
Whitman is after justices with a sharl
stick. They have been s~uspendini
fines inflicted on automobile scorcher'
who have come up for a second o
third offense.
The complaint is that judicial ten
derness" toward automobile scorcher
is rendering the streets dangerous as
Jungle. The exercise Of judicial dis
c~retinn" has bred lawbreaking and at
torney Whitman will ask for legisla
ton defining the duty Of justices an
