Who's To Blame?

Speaker Cannon is out threaten
ing the insurgents with a Demo
cratic victory if they continue
their opposition to the program of
the standpatters. Well, the in
surgents can stand a Democratic
victory better than the stand
patters can, but who is to blame
if the Democrats VIM The stand
patters and they alone. They
have caused the revolt in their
own party and have given rev
hope to the Democrats. IfDemo.
Gratis put party success above their
interest in the country they might
hope to see the insurgents routed
by the standpatters. for a victory
for the standpatters would en-
courage the predatory interests'to
more arrogant demands. But the
Democrats want reforms more
than they want partisan advan-
tage, therefore they hope to see
the reform element in the Repub-
lican party successful in the pri-
maries. With the reform ele-
ment, in both parties in charge of
the party organizations the people
will be sure of some reform even
if the Republicans win and more

Shortage in Hay.

The most serious aspect of the
summer drouth is the certain
shortage of hay. The double loss
from light crop and Improbable
handling of stock because of in
sufficient feed is the lot of the
stockman caught unprepared for
an emergency. The extent of the
June damage to meadows and pas
lures will later be felt even more
keenly unless the parched land is
supplied with copious August
rains. Hardships on the range
have been largely offset by the
early maturing of the grass and
the consequent rapid fattening of
the cattle; but the short crop of
grass which has now been made
into beef on this account will not
be available for late fall and win
ter grazing. Even with fall rains
the growth can never equal that
which would have been possible
with moisture in the long June
days.
Hay will be needed next winter
on the range-it will be needed on
farms too. The high hay prices
of the last two years and the d.
minutive surplus this spring show
what a hand-to-mouth course we
have been pursuing il the effort
to allow no feed to 60 to waste.
More hay than usual should be
cut this summer, or else some sub
stitute located in the form of corn
fodder. silage, beet pulp or straw.
If stock goes from bare pastures
into severe winter the hardships
of last season may be repeated.

An Ocean to Ocean Road.

One Of the national dreams : a
boulevard from the Atlantic to
the Pacific ocean. II it should be
built between Boston and san
Frarcisco il would probably be
. il the near vicinity Of 1900 miles
leng and would pass through the
cities Of Buffalo. Cleveland. Chi
cagO, Omaha, Denver to the
Golden Gate.
Although no plans Of definite
ness have been made it has been
suggested that the problem Of
labor could be easily settled and
the cost would highly be comen-
surste with the result. At the
outset it seems q mammoth under
taking: but in these days Of
scientific application Of laoor-sav-
ing devices. and knowledge Of ma
terials and construction it would
not be 50 ponderous a task.
One of the best known and
longest roads in the United States

long road which extended through
States was the Pony Express
highway built across the Great
Plains from Omaha to the Pacific
Ocean, track used later by one
Of the famous continental railways.

ing rapidly and is receiving FEEDER

Tables Turned.

A good story is told of Congress-

Wilkesbarre, Pa.
Hank" has the reputation of
being quite a story teller, and is at
all times ready to spring some
thing funny at the other fellows
expense. but it happened that this
time Hanks joke was turned on
himself.
1t was back in the early eighties,
when the scarf stick-pins were 50
much in style. Hank purchased a
conspicuously large one, the de-
sign of which was a potato bug.
green in color. When asked what
il was, Hank would answer An
Irish potato bug"
1t was up to L. 5. Commissioner
Honn. Of the same town, who is a
typical German, and very unas-
suming, to turn the joke on the
funny Hank, who had been having
lot of fun with his Irish potato
bug, till he ran across the little
commissioner who eyed the pin
very closely, but failed to make
any remark about it, fearingsthat
Hank had some joke attached to it.
Honn was about to walk away
when Hank said to him: "Mr.
Honn, what do you think of my
new pinl"
Mr.. Honn adjusted his heavy
glasses, scrutinized the pin very
closely, and asked: Hank, yot

Women Harvest Hands.

Many hundreds Of women as
sisted in gathering the harvest
around Beatrice, Neb. They were
lured 10 the field by the offer of
board and three dollars a day. A
farmer went into Beatrice looking
for farm hands. Loungers in the
town refused TO work, and the
farmer had to face the posi-
bility Of losing part Of his crop.
He went into a restaurant, and
while waiting TO be served, was
struck with the idea of bidding
for the mattresses for harvesters.
He offered them 81 a day and ev-
every waitress threw aside her
apron and went to the farm.
They did such efficient work that
other farmers sought women and
they drew school teachers, stenog-
raphers and college girls as well.
