American politics are freakish In
the extreme. The progressive wing
of the republican party found leader
IN, Roosevelt, accepted him as such
and then stood In solid phalanx with
Tammany and routed him. All that
Roosevelt ever stood for was the best
the republican party had to offer the
masses Of the people, no matter what
his personal aspirations and ambitious
might be. He rufled the hair OF the
syndicate and corporate interests the
wrong way, engenderod their hatred,
and subsidized press aud clever car
toonists educated the dear people
and turned the trick for Wall street.
When such men as Roosevelt--consid-
ering all that he has accomplished for
his party and his country--can be
hurled from the political stage in the
space Of three short months, through
ridicule, perjury and acrimony. Ia 1t
any wonder that stupendous increases
are noted In the socialistic vote'

The Walla Walla valley and the
Inland Empire has at the present time
a good illustration Of the strangeness
of human nature, In the relation OF
the wheat farmer to the man who
buys the grain, says the Milton Eagle.
It is noticeable fact that there has
been more wheat changed hands dur
ing the recent two weeks than during
the entire period from harvest until
the first Of Novem Der. A reason is
Immediately sought and on investiga-
tion we find that wheat is from 10 to
Is cents lower now than it was two
months ago. Why will man take 60
cents per bushel now for the product
he was offered 80 cents for immedi-
ately 1t was tbreshed? The answer
is simple enough, and it is found In
the little word "Fear." The man who
owns the wheat is now afraid the bot
tom has dropped out. and consequent
ly he wants to sell before the low mark
is reached. he cannot afford to hold
wheat when it gets as low as go cents
a bushel. Yet he held the same grain
for almost two years when he could
have sold..it any day, for go cents and
at several times for more than 81 per
bushel. 1t is ever SO, and were any
of us who have no wheat to sell placed
in the growers position, we might do
the same thing. No man can say alb
solutely what he would do il placed
in another's shoes until he has actual
ly been 80 placed.
