done. the heavens will not fall"
There have been times In this country
when II seemed that the heavens were
about to fall upon the republic, but with
that residence which is both our hope and
our danger, the people have risen to a
realization OF our destiny, and that storm
has passed by Such crises have been
passed not SO much through new laws as
otism OF individuals, and by the reasser-
ton or revivification Of the old codes OF
Justice,
1t is natural that those who have been
sorely oppressed through the instrument
tally Of law should wish to make an end
Of the specific statute by which the wrong
is accomplished. That Is the mark upon
which their fire is concentrated. Often
such action demolishes line of intrench-
ments of the enemy, but 1t rarely destroys
his forces or even puts an end TO his
activities. We are always clamoring for
law to heal our bruises" but law does
not heal automatically. IT is only an
agency through which the public senti-
ment of community may be made eff
fective. In Coatesville, Pa, and In some
other parts Of the country, the law against
murder, is doubtless. perfect, but it is
powerless to punish the barbarous and
cowardly lynching of a prisoner.
In certain regions OF the west where
political freebooters or railroad corpora
tons have driven the people to despair,
new weapons of defense have been de-
vised in the initiative, the referendum,
and the recall. These not only give much
promise of better state OF affairs, but,
notably in Seattle, some Of them have al

A Liberty Martyr Of Long AGO.

On June z, 1881, Wat Tyler was
chosen leader by $4,000 men to remon-
strate with Richard II. against the OPP
pressions Of the people. In eight days
this man. Of whose antecedents and per-
sonality We know nothing, made for
himself a permanent place In English
history, During that time he COM
manded a great army; he confronted
the king as an equal; he ordered the
execution Of the two chief ministers of
the crown. and 1t was done; he wrested
from the king a promise of social re-
form. But in the hour Of victory he
was struck down by the hand Of an
enemy, and the great uprising failed in
its undertaking. Yet 1t was not alto
gether In vain. 1t stirred to life the
desire for personal liberty In the labor
ing people, a desire that has grown to
giant proportions with the passing
years. This was the first time thai
English peasants and laborers asserted
that they were men. Centuries af-
terward some Of the seed thus sown
found its way across the sea, and today
100000 free Americans owe debt

WEST HOPE

Eben Radford has already started
his fall blowing.
Mrs. Thos. Hope was a visitor at the
Eben Radford farm home a day or two
this week,
A fair average barley crop this fall
brings the farmer the price of his land
and then some.
This certainly is the worst possible
kind of threshing weather that we are
having these days.
Martin Moore and his neighbor Mr..

Mrs. Martin Moore, was a passenger
to Langdon last week with Mail Car

"Bunty's' man had the misfortune to
break the reach of his tank wagon and
a part of the crew had to be sent
back to his place to fix it. The delay
made it eleven o'clock that night before
they got through work.
Strikes among threshers seems to be
imemient. Last Saturday itseems that
Billy Thomas crew went on strike for
more money and as the machine is still
running it looks as if they must have
got it as only one of the men quit.
Now we would like to ask who 1t was
that said Pete McLaren was not a full
fedged thresherman and particularly
on the job as a separator man. Well he
certainly must be for he has got a job
of running D. w. Barker's outfit this
fall.
f. P. Schutt had the misfortune to
lose another horse last week. When
the horse died be came at once to the
conclusion that it had been seized with
a stroke paralysis, but has since con-
cluded that it is usually the old horse
that dies. They have to pass in their
checks some day you know.
A. Radford has threshed a little of
his crop. Oats are reported as giving
an average of forty-two bushels and
wheat ran a little better than fifteen
bushels, these averages ace not so bad as
he was not figuring that 1T would be
very big anyway. The surprise promises
to be on the right side this fall.
1t is reported that the wheat threshed
on A.. Ponto's farm neal here will make
an average of sixteen bushels to the
acre and that when it was taken to the
elevator 1t graded No. 2 Northern.
This is good considering what has been
looked for in the way of wheat yields
the past few weeks. and may perhaps
result in inducing A. F.. Ponto to
change his mind about going to Western
Canada.

The Milton creamery association has
decided to close the creamery on &C.
count of lack of patronage on the part
of farmers. 1t will probably re open in
the spring for another trial, although to
date the association has been losing
money ever since its organization.
Manager Gilman left for Casselton last
week where he has secured a similar
position.
Ed. Clairmont Of Olga township has
m potatoes this year and on Friday
haulei seven hundred bushels to the
Walhalla Potato Cos, warehouse for
shipment. The ''spuds" we're taken to
Walhalla by eleven teams and made
quite a procession as they passed
through the town-so good a show in
fact, that Photographer Kltchin gave
them a couple of Snapshot for variety
They will be shipped for eating to

Misses Flora and Winnie Wright and
L.;.Graveline of Elmpoint in Fremont
township met with what might have
been a very serious accident, Sunday
evening. When returning home from
Walhalla and coming up the jerome
hill the horses became frightened
about half way up and backed down
the hill running the rig over the edge of
a bridge Failing about seven feet, the
folks just managed to get out of the
road when the team fell over. The rig
was completely smashed, but otherwise
they escaped lucky except with a few
bruises and feeling pretty we'll shook
up.
