Veterans Wives.

w. w. Booton, Co. D, 7th ILL., Cav,
London Mills, ILL.,. says that about one
girl in every SO really prefers an elder
ly man for a husband If she should
see proper to marry an old soldier, she
has just as much right as any other
woman to select her husband and is en-
titled to pension.
Isaac Fountain, Co. II, 85th Ill,
Heartwell, Neb., says that he does not
see that the age of a woman has any
thing to do with the question of her
marrying She may be older or she may
be younger that is the business of the
veteran and the woman he is going to
marry, and nobody's else.

did not like the way Mr.. Beattie talked
about the Hornet which he had arrest

Mr.. Beattie had given an interview. in
which he declared the Hornet had vio-

ness for Montana courts was i'll Deer
Lodge serving his sentence. This
does not look good. Possibly he was
not alone in wrong doing and it may
be his light sentence and the dispatch
with which his case was disposed OF
was to shield others.
We don't believe that social posi-
ton and environments should shield
evildoers who occupy positions Of
trust. The public expects more from
men who have been well reared and
surrounded by good influences III
their younger days and possessed Of
superior intelligence.
We know it is held, with some de-
gree of truth, that man of high in
telligence. education and fine selsi-
bilities, will suffer more mental an
guisll from one years incarceration

and advantages should be better able

and liability of his acts. More is ex-

Mr.. l.anglOrne had no excuse for
his criminal conduct. His parents

of course, to the fast lite lie led. His

SO he appropriated some Of the states

HOW THE CITY IS MADE TO GAIN.

The census office is above suspicion
III respect to the deductions it draws
from the compilation of the returns,
and it is Il rare thing to find that it's
comparisons and percentages fail to
stand the test OF ANALYSIS. An ex-
ceptiOn to the rule is to be noted,
however. in the matter of figuring out
the tendency Of the population to
concentrate in the cities. This is re-
garded rs being one of the most sig
niticant facts pertaining to the trend
OF our commercial development
whether we are leaving the farm and
taking up manufacture-and it is
most important to have the census
office conclusion based on correct
premises. Otherwise the statistics
are valueless as proof Of what is
really taking place rs between the
the city and the farm.
In arriving ut the city population
the census office counts the places
having $4,000 or more. This method
was adapted OH the theory that until
Il town has reached that mark it owes
its existence and support to the coun-
try surrounding it, and is therefore
part and parcel of agricultural life.
Thus, Il town which ten years ago fell
just short Of having a5,0OO people was
put in the farm population column.
but having during the decade passed
the mark, it is shifted bodily into the
city column, Notwithstanding none
who were classed as farmers ten
years ago have turned in their tracks.
Through the working Of an arbitrary
rule-a change in bookkeeping, as it
were-the farm loses approximately
.5,WW to the city, or Il difference Of

IS IT RIGHT?

l.ewistown Argus: The poor devil
who steals a calf or Il pinto pony in
Montana is likely to get a sentence of
from ten to twelve wears in the peni-
Tertiary. but t h e criminal who
steals thousands from the stOckman
of the state gets off with Il sentence
of one year.
But 1t has come to pass IN this
country that the greater Il mans be-
trayal Of trust in high position the
lighter the penalty inflicted. The
embezzler, forger and bank wrecker
rarely ever receive their Just deserts,
though hundreds may be impoverisll-
ed and suffer from their dishonesty.
When there is plenty OF money for
the defense the accused stands Il good
chance Of escaping altogether.
1t will be admitted that there are
times when Il Judge is justified in ex-
tending mercy, when by so doing he
will receive the approval of the pub
lie. But this power of authority is
sometimes abused for reasons I'M
known only to Il few.
No doubt the case OF young Lang
horne at Helena was one that appeal
ed strongly to his friends, but how
was il to the people Of the state gem
orally? The law is no respecter of
persons and the eNtention of clemen-
cy is often farcial. The attorney
general through his acquaintance with
the accused may plead for mercy and
the presiding Judge shed tears III
pressing sentence, still the demands of
justice may suffer.
The only eNtenuating circ,mstan-
ces in this case was sympathy for the
aged and respected parents OF the ac-
cused. who are pioneers of Montana,
yet even this should hardly call for SD
light Il sentence. considering the
gravity OF the offence.
In giving an account of the Young
mans POPULATIONS the public is in
formed that lie was quite sporty, that
he played the poolroOms and was an
expert at draw poker. Then, why

PARSONS between the two decades.

N.ooO WNen III comes TO making CON-
PARSONS between the two decades.
Ten years ago there were 1850 cities
having at least $4,000 Inhabitants,
while this year there were 22S such
places, an increase of sixty-eight.
That means that the entire population
Of the siXty-eight cities ten years ago
is regarded as having come from the
farm in the interim, whereas, logical
ly, only the population in excess OF
$4,000 each can, for the purpose of
comparison, he fairly counted as new
city population. Subtractng II
merely automatic gain of LOO, 900
from the census count Of the sixty
eight cities, and putting it back where
it was in the last census, it is found
that .he actual gain in city popula-
ton is 1850. 7SS, instead of S,7S0. 1888,
the official figures. Moreover, once
it is conceded that the people living
in cities having less than $4,000
should be classed as belonging to the
farm community. is it not essential,
III order to keep the city from gradu-
ally swallowing up the farm popula-
ton by trick OF figuring to credit
$4,000 to the farm column from cen
sus to census? This need not be the
rule for all purposes, but as atfor,ling
Il truer and fairer basis of COMPARE
son in arriving at the percentage of
increase in the city as against the
farm.
There are two other factors in the
growth of the cities which ought to
be discounted. One is the inclusion
in the city column of those living in
territory ten years ago which has not
since been annexed, and the other is
the congested condition Of the cities
due to immigration. These data were
also available to the compiler of fig
ures which have been given out as
emphasizing the increasing concen-
tration of population in large cities.'

THE N. W. WHEAT SUPPLIES.

says:
The ags 'egate outturn of the 1910

overcome any extreme price effect
from the shortage Of the harvest in
the northwest. AS additional factors
Were the enforced marketing from

position among both keen speculate tors
and millers {" expect this actual
shortage will become more positive

tendency has followed in the market
for the cereal. The large accum lla-
tiOns at the terminals seem to have
weighed down the price about as far
as it can go and with the broadening
Of the commercial demand the visible
supply should soon begin to decrease.
Cash wheat has never been an ac-
tual burden on the market. 1t has
been we'll absorbed when rendered on

RAILROADS ASSISTING THE FARMERS.

Railway Journal: 1t is doubtful if
the railroads have entered into any
new departure in recent years that
will result in more material good
than the educational work they are
now carrying on in promoting prac-
teal farming. The special interest
taken i'm the science Of intensive
farming along their respective lines
has assisted the farmers and given
them new inspirations as well as new
ideas. Railway companies are spend
ing thousands of dollars annually
now in this way, even running special
train which carry experts to demon
strate practical methods, stops being
made at every rural point where a
gathering of farmers can be secured.
Experimental farms are being MAIN

the railroads many thousands Of dol
lars. it will eventually result in a
great benefit to the country, which of
course means returns to the rail
roads. Ii the rural worker will take
every advantage Of these great educa-
tiOnal institutions and cooperate
with the roads wherever possible, a
closer union for material progress
will be attained. There are many in.
terests of this nature in which the
welfare of the farmer and the rail
road are identical; therefore they
should join hands wherever possible
to promote these interests. Farming
and the railroads represent the two
greatest industries in the United
States, and if they become united,

STONE AND ROB
 MADERO'S RIVAL
Nugget Special Service.

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 4-Saturday night General Bernardo Reyes. who is a candidate in opposition to General Madero, was stoned and robbed of 5000 pesos while attempting to address a crowd of his constituents
 To date the only opposition to Gen eral Madero is General Reyes. and on Saturday evening he undertook to de- liver his first political address seeking the election as president which will take place a month hence
 After talking for few minutes his remarks against Madero caused the several hundred people present to fire rocks at the speaker. He was dragged from the platform and money and jewelry to the value of 5000 pesos were taken away from him. his horses were unhitched from his carriage and the mob hooted and jeered the candi- date for having the audacity to try and run in opposition to a man like General Madero.
 The warm reception given General Bernardo Reyes at his opening political address for his campaign against Madero is believed will have the effect of his having to draw from the contest and leave the field to the man of the hour. as Madero is called.
