PARTY HAS ITS OPPORTUNITY
Democratic Leaders Must Realize
Weight Of Responsibility Resting
Upon Them.

We are glad to know that Mr..
Champ Clark is so confident OF the
ability and honest intention OF the
Democratic party to serve the people.
The outlook is, we agree, on the whole
favorable. Broadly speaking the Dem
ocratic leaders seem to feel the weight
Of the responsibility which rests on
them and their party. And that is en-
~couraging. Mr.. Clark himself talks
wisely, and with a proper conserva-
tism. There are few people, and none
who understand present political con-
ditions, who do not feel that the Dem
ocrats have an opportunity such as
has not often come to a political par
ty. Even the Republican leaders
agree that If the Democratic party
acts wisely, the immediate outlook
for their own party is rather dark.
They T frankly counting not on he
publican strength, but Democratic
weakness and folly, to win the next
election for the Republican party. The
conclusion, Of course, is that the Dem
ocrats have everything in their own
hands If they conduct themselves
properly.
We have no doubt of their desire
and intention to do this. The question
,is as to their ability to meet their
obligations. The party has been GU
Of power for a long time, and so has
been deprived of the benefit OF such
education which administration un
doubtedly gives. This does not near
that it is incapable of welding power
but it does mean that the party viii
have to move carefully. This 1t seems
disposed to do. Fortunately the Dusi
ness of government is no mystery, al
some statesmen would have us be
lieve. For the most part 1t consists
simply In the application oil honesty
and common sense to public affa1rs
We have never taken any stock In tn
theory that the Democratic party al
such is incapable Of governing thu
country, or In the other theory tina

New York.-There is a grooer In
New York city who Is getting rioh by
providing experienced cooks for his
customers. He deals with persons In
society who have much trouble with
their cooks. He noticed one of his best
customers, a wealthy woman, who had
almost ceased trading with him. He
inquired the reason and the woman
told him YEARLY she would buy all he
had In his store If he could get her a
cook. He promised to do So, and when
a wellflled basket was deposited at
this woman's door, a buxom southern
cook accompanied 1t. She said the gro
Ger had sent her, that she was a fine
cook and would begin operations at
once, and she did with most delightful
results. Now the grocer has many
new customers and he could easily
open an employment agency. So far
his cooks have proved excellent. and
the plan Of sending a cook with the
raw eatables is winning him scores Of
customers among the fashionable fat
dwellers Of New York.

regards it as a body of high-minded

tremendous ~displeasure in Washing

worse, so that I could not sleep at

treated me a long time, but 1t got
worse, and | could not put my hands

told that 1t was a very bad case of
eczema. Well, l Just kept on using
everything that I could for nearly
eight years until / was advised to try
Cuticura Ointment. l did SO, and !

bandaging my hands well up that the
burning sensations were disappearing,
l could sleep we'll, and did not have
any itching during the night. I began
after a while to use Cuticura Soap for

the Soap and Ointment I was much

treatment, and thought II I could use
other remedies for over seven years

Captain Bakers Boats.

cept one of these boats are propelled
by gasoline engines. The newest Of
the feet Is the Expansion, built at
Bismarck last spring and said to be
the lightest draft boat eve put upon
the Missouri river. 1t is 124 feet 7
inches long, 81 feet 8 inches beam
and draws ten inches of water light.
On a draft of three feet it carries $50
tons, and loaded to It's capacity it will
carry three hundred tons. The Elk
pansion is propelled by a 60-horsepow-
er gasoline engine and travels four
and one-half miles an hour against
the current. Captain Bakers other
boats are the Frayne, the Deapolis.
the Washburn, the 0. K. and the Bis
marck.
West Of Bismarck the railroads
touch the Missouri Valley in only a
few places, and the farmers, instead
of hauling their grain inland to the
railroads, haul 1t to the river for ship
ment by boat. At each of the land
ings Captain Baker has a small ele-
vator, where the grain is stored until
shipment. Then, when a boat comes
along, the grain 10 loaded In bulk and
carried down to Bismarck, where 1t is
unloaded by a movable hoist into the
elevator at the top of the bank and
from that into the cars. The boats
now run up the Missouri river as fal
as the mouth Of the Milk river ir
Montana and up the Yellowstone tt
Glendive, Mont. On the up trips the
boats carry all kinds Of merchandise
coal, lumber, machinery and Other
supplies to the farmers and the mer
chants. Downstream, before the grair
movement begins, they carry live
stock, wool, hides, hay and other farm
products.

COUNTRY LOOKS FOR RESULTS
Recent Elections ShowedS Popular
Demand for Tariff Reform, n
Democrats Must Heed.

At last even the friends" Of high
protection seem to understand that
they must make some concessions to
the public demands for downward
revision. That understanding came
through the recent elections, which
registered a rebuke to the makers OF,
the Payne-Aldrich law.
1t now seems wholly probable that
the present session of congress Will
witness the creation of a real tariff
commission, with sufficient power to
procure tariff facts. II that should
be done, it would be a big concession
to the Progressives in congress, m to
the insistent demands of the people
in general. 1t would be a formal ad-
mission that "the best bill ever" Is
not what It ought to be. 1t would
also suggest a strategic effort to do
something before the doing Of things
shall be turned over to a Democratic
house.
Meanwhile the Democrats are quite
as active, but with reference to the
time when they shall come into their
inheritance. Wise tariff action at the
hands Of the Democrats will be hoped
for by the country, but as the cor
recting of tariff abuses is a pressing
need, practical cooperation will be
asked Of the Democrats in this ses-
sion If good measures are offered, by
the party still in power. The people
have rebuked Republican failure; they
are quite capable of rebuking Demo
cratic obstruction or unnecessary de
lay. The country wants results much
more than 1t wants advantage for one
party or another. 1t has little toler
ance lett for partisan interference
with its business.

beyond the sixth grade, the necessity
for agriculturalizing our courses of
study becomes strikingly apparent.
So long as we make agriculture a
thing apart. like botany or geometry,
it will not penetrate successfully the
whole educational system. But when
we change the current of interest in
our common school text books by Civ
ing to agriculture its fitting and pro.
portionate space; when we dignity
its part in the shaping of our history
when we write our biographies to fit
country life as we'll as city conditions !;
when our arithmetics drop two-thirds
of the sawdust with which they now
ars stuffed, and carry in it's place
everyday problems, then we shall be
moving along right lines. For it is
not so much the science of agriculture
we desire our children to obtain, as
it is the spirit of farm life ,apprecia-
tion and enjoyment. 1t is doubtful if
teaching very much of the science.
1t may be questioned whether it ever
will be able to do so. But given text
books with an agricultural outlook the
boy and girl will acquire something
of the spirit of the country, and will
look forward naturally to the farm
where the majority of them are des-
tined to meet with the ups and downs
of living.
Thus the workof the common school
should prepare for, rather then dupli-
cate. the high school and college work
in agriculture. 1t should bear the
same relationship to the scientific
phases of the work that physiology
does to the science of medicine. 1t
should inspire, rather than instruct; ;
impress, rather than educate.
In the matter of getting textbooks
with the agricultural outlook. the
public is at present wholly at the
mercy of the so-called "school book
trust,' whose big contracts come
from the cities. and which writes texts
not to educate, but to sell. It is not
at all unlikely that before the farm
ers, of the country get the text books
their children need, that they will be
compelled, as was the state of Indi-
ana, to do their own school book pub
fishing. Certain it is that up to date
the private publishing firms seem to
