THE DEMOCRATIC DILEMMA

Bryan says in his Commoner that
the democratic party is engaged in
its quadrennal struggle to free itself
from the strangle-hold of Wall street
unintimidated, democratic democrats
to get together and agree upon a can
timents of the rank and file and sup
port him
Mr.. Bryan's fight Is against the
leaders of his party and the leader
ship is now constituted. 1t is evident
that he will not prevail on them to
see the error of their ways and name
a candidate of his liking, and it is
equally apparent that ne can nHu-
ence the rank and file, upon whom
he still has strong hold to defeat
the ticket
1t is evident that Mr.. Bryan pro-
poses to fight it out on this line if 1t
takes all summer and several sum
mers for he begins at the campaign
of 1895 and traces the trail of the
serpent over the subsequent cam
paigns of the democratic party, show
ing to his satisfacti at least that
the so-called plunderbund has con-
trolled the democratic party, and
when it has not done so has thrown
its strength to the republicans.
The three successive defeats OF
Mr.. Bryan have made him the in
veterate foe of the interests. which
he denominates as the wall street
element" and which he says wal
lows in the mire of plutocracy." 1t is
seeking now to control the demo
cratic nomination for 1912 and this
influence he is seeking to overcome
in his plea to the faithful to rally to
defeat the predatory interests"

APPLES AND ORCHARD RECLA
NATION

Reclamation which had its origin
in the west is growing more and more
to have wider Specification. We
now hear Of the reola ma ton of New
England farms by the application Of
scientific principles of soil culture
which restores the elements that care
less and ignorant husbandry wasted
when the people were .rcfligate of
the national resources
Now the rehabilitation OF worn out
farms is to be supplemented ny the
reclamation of old orchards. The or
chards of the east have fallen into a
state of degeneracy, and have lost
their productiveness. The commission
men have been looking to the west
to supply the markets in apples and
other fruits. but the east is well
planted and climatic conditions are
known to be favorable. 1t remains
for but one thing to assure success
and that is proper culture.
For this reason attention has beer
turned of late to the reclamation OF
orchards in New York, Massachusetts,
and other eastern states formerly
given over to apple culture Experts
have been buying up old orchards il
many localities, stripping the trees Of

THE MEANING OF THE VICTORY

The forces Joined for the prom o.
ton of good government made
sweeping victory at the polls Satur-
day in the election Of the ticket en-
dorsed by the civic organizations that
banded together for prom citing the
best interests of the city regardless of
political preferences. The victory
was com plete. Not a man was lost
from the ticket, and The Herald be-
lieves that the people of North Yak
ina are to be congratulated over the
result.
But the interest of good govern
ment still demands that the citizens
shall stand by the officials that they
have elected and give them the sup
port they will need in administering
to the business affairs of the city
The burden of carrying on the city
government is not wholly to be thrust
upon the men elected to the offices
They still need the assistance and
support of the citizens of the COM
munity.
It is too often the case that citi-
Gems feel that after the campaign Is
over they have no further interest in
the affairs of government. but that is
a mistake. Good citizenship demands
more than that, it demands an active
interest and an active participation in
the administration of the government
at all times, lending aid, assistance
and personal influence to sustain the
officials in actions that are to be
mmended and voicing their protest
against actions and tendencies that
are detrim entail to the cause 1t is
only by these checks and counter
checks that the best results can be
attained.

must organize sufficiently to main
tain that community spirit which is
the basis of local thrift and pros
perity.
When a dollar 10 spent with local
dealer percentage representing his
profit remains in the community,
When it is sent away for investment
in some advertised get-rich- quick
scheme or in goods that could be
bought to better advantage from the
local dealer it constitutes a reduc-
ton of 81 in the aggregate COM
munity wealth and that reduction I'LL
timately is felt by everyone in the
community
The merchant owes certain duties
should be satisfied with reasonable
profit and as a rule he is. But the
customer also owes certain support to
the dealer; he should buy at home
where he can get as good or better
m ercha ndise for the money. The dol
lar he spends at home may come back
to him. The dollar sent away is
gone and is not apt to come back

the result that trees pronounced use

preh ensive report of the prospective
crop issued by the Boston Cham Der
of Commerce says that the Hudson

will be 100 per cent greater than that
of 1910, in Michigan it will be two or
three times more, and in Nova

But in New England It will be

New England is a land of orchards
The early settlers planted one at
every HON estead, but they have been
allowed to fall into decrepitude and
decay. and need to be reclaimed much
after the manner of the New England
farms. This reclamation process is
Just beginning and in the next few
years the markets will have to reckon
as once they did on the output Of
the apple orchards on the old New
England farms.

But a sheepherder, doggone it,
When lonesome breezes moan
Must grit his teeth and stand it,
He's got to fight alone.

For the sheep herder. doggone it!
Don't hear q human voice;
It's enough for him to listen
While the kvo-tes rejoice.
The city man is bothered
With TOO many men around:
There's rushin' and there's crushin'
Like when ants swarm DER the
ground.
But the sheepherder doggone it!

And nary soul to help him

WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO?

Sometimes we wonder why the old
prosperity no longer holds good. A
few wears ago the merchants could
estimate his fall and winter trade
with fair degree of accuracy when
he knew Just how well the farmers
were doing No such basis for esti-
mating future trade exists TO-DAY, and
the reasons are numerous, but all
may be Included in one brief state
ment; The money goes to the big
cities II is Invested" in all kinds
OF projects and in all kinds of mer-
chandise, some good. some bad ana
Some Indifferent
This tendency toward long distance
buying is an outgrowth of the bar
gain hunting habit It is fostered by
keen advertising through the maya
zines and farm Journals: by better
mail, express and freight service,
making possible the prompt delivery
of merchandise from the big centers;
by the sluggish attitude Of many
merchants who entirely overlook the
value Of local advertising as means
OF holding local trade, and last. but
by no means least by a falling off in
community pride.

OLD FORT SIMCOE
YAKIMA COUNTY, WASH.
ter-The Ancient Fort-PersonaI
Mention.

Fort Since was built during the
trouble with the Indians, and is there
fore interesting and historic Block
houses with their loop holes, where
the soldiers were occasionally called
upon to do shooting. The mansion
for the agent and his family was built
in 1887 and cost 100000. Most of the
materials used in its construction
were brought around Cape Horn.
1t was originally planned and used
by the general commander of the
forces, and I strongly suspect, by the
generous number of closets and cup
boards that he must have had femi-
nine assistance.
1t is large and room and in old CO.
lonial style, with semi-gothic front,
has latticed doors and windows and
spacious veranda. The entrance from
gate to portal is empowered with
grapevines, which are very old and
heavily weighted with fruit They
make a very pleasing and delightful
outlook and furnish a refreshing
shade, as do also the fine old oaks
which form the grove surrounding the
fort.
The business office, council room
and postoffice are in one building
Here the assiduous agent (our well
known jay LYNCH and Mr.. Chas.
Lombard, his capable clerk, hold
forth.
1t has been the custom to name the
Indian children just what the parents
or any influential person thought fit,
consequently in some families there is
no family name. and Abe Lincoln.
Stick Joe and Calvin Hale might be
brothers, which is decidedly confus-
ing, and the government desires to
abandon it if possible.
Very nice farms are seen in all di-
rections. with heavily laden orchards
and plenty of horses and cattle; some
of the fences are both ingenious and
ludicrous.
Though the area Of the reservation
is quite large 40 by so miles, contain
ing 100000 acres, there is not more
than 10000 acres of arabic land.
Much of the country is mountain
Gus and lack of irrigating facilities
renders other parts untillable.
