ders covered with red blanket.
Through narrow slit in in the cover
ing her black eyes shot arrows at her
dissatisfied husband.
Graybear began his testimony, tell
ing of his squaw's cruelty to him,
when the woman arose and denounced
the statement as false. The sheriff
interfered and Mrs. &raybear pulled
butcher knife from beneath her
blanket and started after the officer.
In two minutes she was in possession
of the courtroom, her husband having
led the exodus. Then she sailed
forth and chased court officials all
around the block.
After an hours fight the woman
wearied and finally was arrested. The
court resumed it's session and Gray
bear got his divorce without further
testimony. Mrs. Graybear was gradu-
ated from Hampton institution, in Vir-
| ginia, and while at that school was
one of its brightest lights. After her
return to the reservation she returned

perity Of the FARMER as upon that Of
the manufacturer, the farmers exist
ence will be justified. The day Of q
government of the people, by the farm
ers, for the cities, is at an end. The
farmer must be considered In legisla-
ton. He will force consideration Of
his interests. He is already demand
ing his rights.
There need be no fear Of the farmer
domination of government In this coun-
try. Our territory is too large and our
interests too varied. At the same time
all Indications point to the fact that
business domination must end. II
business cannot thrive without special
favors from legislatures It would bet
ter be left to exc out sickly exist
ence. The truth is It can thrive on the
same treatment that is meted out to
the rest of the citizens Of the United
States.
Fair legislation Will not hurt bust
ness. It may hurt some OF the over
fattened parasites who hide behind
the shelter of business and raise the
cry of panic every time reform Is
proposed If 1t does. so much the bet
ter. The world can do without them
very well. The city harbors too many
people whose right to live Is not based
upon anything they have ever done for
society. 1t is to the country statesman.
with views unbiased BY the intoxica-
ton Of luxurious living, that we must
look for the initiation of this great re-
form. His innate sense Of justice will
not be satisfied with the shadow of re-
form. His natural conservatism will
prevent radical steps that defeat the
purpose of reform. Under his guild
ance the details Of popular govern
ment will be worked out to a success
full conclusion. Government by spe-
cial interests must end. Real repre-
sentative government will take its
place. The short ballot, the direct pri-
mary and the initiative and referen-
dunn are all steps to that end. Any
thing that will make machine rule
more difficult and popular rule more
simple is for the general good.
Most Of the problems Of popular gov
ernment are still to be worked out.
No one can forsee the exact trend
which popular government win take.
There are several Influences at work,
however, which show in a measure the
tendency Of the times. It is not likely
that the government Of the United
States will develop q paternalism
which some other countries call gov
eminent by the people. There Is too
much indiyidualism about the Amer.
lean people for that. While the Cana
dian farmers have been actively cam
paigning for government ownership of
elevators. the farmers of the United
States have solved the grain trust
problem through cooperation. While
the agitation for the postal savings
bank has been sweeping over the coun-
try, the farmer has never actively de-
handed that the government go into
the banking business. He is not averse
to the idea of safe depository where
the laborers Of the cities can deposit
their savings. He admits that postal
savings banks may be convenience
in some communities and may be the
means of bringing boarded money into
circulation. For the most part. how
ever, he Is satisfied with his cO-Opera-

The victory gives the democrats op.
portunity to end abruptly the reaction
ary career of United States Senator
Hale and to send one of their own tc
succeed him.
The victory hardly could be more
complete, the result more certain OF
decisive. Considered in conjunction
with the democratic gain of more than
IL, 900 votes in the recent election in
Connecticut, it is evident that the East
is turning to the democratic party as
the hope of the nation to turn the
rascals out and to let in the light.
In these days of returning sanity it
were folly for the democrats not to
realize the opportunity offered them.
Their duty is to make an aggressive
campaign in every election district, to
tear from the republican party its
cloak of deceit and its mask of virtue
and unbare it for what it is-an organ
lied fundamentally of the privileged
and the privilege seekers and the nest
of preying politicians fed by power too
long vested in them into an attitude of
arrogance and contempt towards the
electorate.
Names answer to William Howard
Taft is that the Payne-Aldrich tariff
law is the worst and not the best, ever
enacted.
Names answer to Senator Cummins
and the other insurgents is that having
entrusted the republican party with
power for thirty years and found that
party out, it is content to turn to the
democratic party and democratic ad-
illustrators of government.
Names answer to Theodore Roose-
welt is that the democratic party pre-
sents honest and competent men whose
sympa thies are attuned to the peoples
needs and ambitions and that the re-
publican party if it has such men, is
not putting them forth.
The Maine result is a vote of no con-
fidence in the republican party. 1t sis
guilty of betrayal of popular confidence
and no longer to be entrusted with the
affairs of state and nation.
Maine echoes the demand to Turn
the rascals OUT by turning them out.

Makes Reply in Ballinger Case.

Louisville, Sept. 15.-Congressman
Ollie James, democratic member of the
Ballinger committee, last night made
reply to the statement issued by re-
publican members of the committee
1.-THE statement issued by Senator
Nelson and his colleagues in Chicago is
positive proof that the republican mem
bers of the committee did not desire to
make report upon the Ballinger case
until after election. Their ate mpt to
prevent report was resorted to by
breaking the quorum.
.'Senator Root arrived in New York
on the sixth. Had he desired he could
have been in Minneapolis. Represen-
tative Olmsted was in Maine making
republican speeches which he thought
more important than attending to his
official duties. Representative DENLY
was absent attempting to defeat an in
surgent for the senate.
1.-THE rest of us were there; five of
US were there ready for business. We
owed it to the people to give out this
report. If Secretary Ballinger is inno-
cent of the charges preferred these
gentlemen ought to have had the cour-
age to say so and not allow him to rest
under cloud. If he is an unsafe Of
fical, the quicker this was given the
people the BETTER
Congressman j. M. Graham, the
democratic member of the committee
who wrote the 35, 600 report adopted by
the democratic members of the COM
mittee at the Minneapolis meeting,
also answered the criticism voiced by
the republican members of the COM
mittee.
Ten weeks was time enough to
study the evidence and reach al .onclus-
ion ON it, he said, land their post
ion seems inexplicable unless it be
credited to political exigency. The
gentlemen who met at Chicago
cannot succeed in playing ostrich any
better than the bird itself does. Their
heads may be hiding, but their bodies
are visible. Their attempt to place
the blame on others cannot succeed.

he has great faith in the future Of CO
operative banking.
The farmer wants parcels post. but
he does not advocate government own
arship of express companies. The kind
Of parcels post he wants Is one that
will enable him to get goods from
town over the rural route at low
rate, with a higher. rate for goods from
another town. For the general bust
ness he is satisfied with the express
companies-not as they are run at
present. perhaps. but as he believes
they can be made to operate with eff
cient regulation.
The American farmer Is not demand
ing the government ownership of rail-
roads He prefers to control our pres
ent railroads more effectively. Then,
too, he can build electric lines of bis
own If 1t becomes necessary. He does
not ask that the government dissolve
