Mrs. Mcfarland intends coming
home from Pennington in few days
She has spent nearly five months in
the Pennington and Aztec sections.
She will bring some fruit with her.
Mrs. Joe Sullivan was the victim of
misplaced confidence the other even

hand, an empty pail and sprained
foot which interferes somewhat with
locomotion.
Don Mckinney started for Wyom-

A merry party of school children
and friends assembled at the Will
liams ranch home Sunday to partake
of birthday dinner given in honor
OF Lester Williams and Ruby Sulli-

was terrible sorrow for him to bear
yet he met the host Of old acquaint-
ances with the same CHEEKY and kindly
greetings that characterized him of
old. Indeed he found time to make
rev friends and not one but enter
tained kinder thought for having
known him.
Like his brother Mr.. Squire Brown
was prominent factor in the life of
the section, where he cast his lot back
in the waning '70s. Financially the
west was generous with him but he
gave hard labor and well directed eff
forts for all that was his portion.
With his brother he engaged in min
ing in the Animas Forks section when
the southwest had yet hardly been
given a place on the map. Their lives
were filled with hardships but he bore
them with fortitude. While many dis
couraging things marked their early
life up there he never lost faith in
the section and backed his optimistic
views of its future with large part
Of his earnings.
For years Lake City in Hinsdaie
County was his home. He served two
.erms as county assessor and in this
capacity met with gratifying degree
of success.
Inc last years of his life were spent
at Austin, near Delta, where he own
ed large fruit ranch. 1t was here
ne heard the death summons after
5eing critically i'll with typhoid fever
for several weeks.
Mr.. Brown was a member of the
San Juan pioneers and also men,
her of the Masonic lodge, an organi-
zation of which he was secretary at
the time Of his death.
He was graduate of Hamilton
college and with his brother was a
contemporary co college mate of the late
Vice President Sherman and both
shared his friendship If not his po-
litical views. 1t seems odd that the
three should have gone to their re-
ward within period Of seven weeks.
The vice president and Mr.. Squire
Brown were near the same age, Mr..
Ed Brown being few years older.
Mr.. Brown is survived by his wife
and two sons, both Of whom have
grown to mans estate. To them the
people of this vicinity extend their
heartfelt sympathy. Many here feel
that death has taken from them 9
highly priced personal friend.

WILSON. CLARK AND TARIFF.

1t is evident that Missouri's dis
tinguishcd Democrat is going TO
make it bit unpleasant for Presi-
dent Wilson if the latter does not
adhere strictly to the tariff plank
Of the platform upon which Wilson
was elected-or, rather, the plat
form adopted by the Baltimore CON
vention; there is considerable differ
ence, in the light of what actually
occurred. Champ is out with an in
nocent little manifesto plainly intend
ed to prod the president-elect to
performance of his duty ms Champ
sees it. But as an interesting and
significant side light on the situa-
mcnt that "a platform is not pro-
gram" This means. if it means any
thing, that Mr.. Wilson has no inten-
tion of trying to carry out the plat
form literally and insist upon reve-
nue. only tariff. The Baltimore con-
vention declared in more or less un-
compromising terms that tariff for
anything but revenue was unconsti-
tutional, and if that platform should
be used as a program by the new
president and congress all schedules
would have to be revised to revenue
basis.
But nobody knows better than
Woodrow Wilson that he was not
elected on any such platform or on
either his own merits or those Of
his party. But for the division OF
tho Republican strength he would
have been showed under by at least
million votes, and while the tri-
umphant and militant Democracy
will insist loudly that it has been
called to power in response to the
overwhelming demand Of the people,
the president-elect, at least, is wisa
enough not to enter voluntarily upon
radical program, even though de
manded by his platform. Possibly by
prodding the party leaders Speaker
Clark will keep his devotion TO ira
iStbioNih'y III bht liihNiiEhAt
ana who knows what may happen four
years hence? At any rate, it is good
politics." and distinctly politics OF
the Clark brand, to let the party know
that there are other Democrats be-
sides the one elected-particularl the
man who received a majority of the
votes in the convention at once time
and would have been president-eleet
today but for the arbitrary rules re-
quiring two-thirds majority.
There seems little probability that
the country will be exposed to the
perils of rabid revision of the tariff
and therefore it is all the safer for
Champ to clamor loudly for such "A
revision and thus ingratiate him
self with the radicals of his party
Nothing could more effectively prove
the unsafety of Clark's leadership IN
this respect than his approving quo
tation of Robert J. Walkers long ex-
ploded declaration that duties should
be laid only on luxuries and not on
necessities. AS mere matter Of
revenue it needs only to be pointed
cut that many hundreds Of dollars
are paid for necessities for each dollar
paid for luxuries and that tariff
on luxuries alone would prove a very
meager producer Of revenue. Still
more specious is the theory that those
engaged in the production of neces-
sites, comprising the vast bulk Of
the nations industries, should be ex-
posed to the competition of foreign
workers.-Kansas City Journal.

WARNING To MEXICO.

It has been made plain, both to the Mexican government and to the in- surgents. just where the United States stands in relation to their troubles This country does not wish to inter- fere and has no intention of interven- ing unless it is forced to. but it will see that American citizens are prop erly treated This means that accord ing to the rules governing war in all civilized nations. that prisoners shall be properly treated as such and not be shot because they happen to be with an opposing force.
 The warning is not intended to en- courage Americans to take sides in the Mexican trouble, but the attitude as set forth is that any maltreatment of American citizens will be resented by this government, and the Mexican people will be held accountable. Am erican property as well as people must receive the adequate protection that is due.
 The situation is taking a serious as pect when an American citizen is prac- tically murdered, and it can be as sured that Uncle sam will stand for no such conduct. 1t is believed that it will be needed, for it is only inviting disaster to continue along such a line, That the warning was sent both to the federalists and the belligerents is giv-
 ing both sides the proper understand ing of the situation

to the socialist party administration and who had their searchlights on ev- cry move that was made by the city council, they absolutely failed to dis cover 8 single instance of graft dur ing the last two years.
 Is there any other American city of the size of Milwaukee that is gov erned by either of the old parties or by a so-called non-partissn govern ment that can show a similar record If there is, we would like to hear of 1t.
 It was not from a desire to give MllWa ;kee good government that made the old parties combine but it was the demand of big business (which finances both old parties) that they combine to beat the socialists 80 that the big business interests could get the public franchises on their own terms, which the socialists would not grant
 As to their promises not being car ried out, In all fairness it ought to be remembered that they had to work under an antiquated city charter that was granted in 168G The Wisconsin legislature refused to grant them new charter, giving them home rule, and every time they made a move to fuTfl any of their promises their ene- mics Immediately tied their hands with court injunctions of various kinds.
 They appointed men to run the vari- ous city departments who were expert in their respective lines, and they ap- pointed these men irrespective of their politics or their place of residence, and the courts ruled against them.
 The socialists are well satisfied with the result of the Milwaukee election. There are nearly three thousand more socialists than there were in 1910, and other April elections have shown a general advance all along the line.
 We want it to be thoroughly under stood that socialists do not contest elections merely for the sake of cap turing offices. We contest elections chiefly to propagate the principles of socialism.
 The Milwaukee election has demon strated what the socialists have al- ways claimed-that there is no funda- mental difference between the repub licans and democrats-they both stand for the same thing: Capitalism and exploitation, and when their profits are in danger they will combine to save them.
 The socialists governed Milwaukee as far as they were able for the ben eft of those who have built and made

THe TuRERcuLosIs PRoRLEM.

Dr. $. J. Maher before the chari- ties and corrections conference asd Waterbury, declared that the tuber- culosis problem is the stamping out of human tuberculosis. and he shows that there is reason for believing that tuberculosis can be stamped out. This in face of the fact that the disease has been so closely connected with human life by nature shows that the subject is one that has been given much long and careful study. but it will require a long, persistent conflict with the disease before it is conquer ed.
 The greatest need at the present time, says Dr. Maher is to gain more knowledge of the disease and the al laying of the hysterical fear of the consumptiye and the sentimental de- sire to isolate the cases. In empha sizing the point that the greatest det- rimnet 10 the cause is the opposition Co the location of hospitals and sanatoria in suitable places, he touches upon the local situation and he gives assurance to those who feared that there would be a detrimental effect from the present location of the New London county institution that such will not be the case.
 He states that a careful tuberculous patient is about the safest person, the sanatorium the most hygienic of any institution. and itf is to bring about such conditions that the san atoria are built It Is to be hoped that the ambition of Dr. Maher, that Connecticut have the glory of solving the tuberculosis problem. may be sue cessful; that is. that the desired Knowledge necessary to wipe it out may be gained through the efforts put forward in and by the state

Milwaukee what it Is today, that is, the working class.
 Between these two forces that go to make up society at present-that is, the capitalist class and the working class-the exploiters and the exploit ed, the hayes and the have nots, there is a never ending struggle which goes on whether you have partisan govern ment or non partisan government, and this struggle will go on until the work ing class absorbs the others and by doing this will abolish all classes be- cause then there will only be one aass the working class
 As for taking politics out of mu- nlcipal campaigns, The Bulletin IS quite right when it says the social ists will never agree to this. We take the stand that there can never be such a thing as a non n-partisan administra- ton of any kind of government. If a government administers things for the benefit of the workers 1t must bo at the expense of the capitalists and if they favor the capitalists 1t must be at the expense of the workers.
 No government, either non bipartisan or any other kind, can administer things to satisfy both these factions; 1t is impossible.
 Non- pRrtisanship is delusion and 8 snare and the voters will discover through experience that on-partisan- ship is only capitalism masquerading under another name, and they will eventually turn to the socialist party as the only party that will emancipate | the workers from the problems that are confronting them today.

REApJUsTlNG FRATERNAL lN-
 sURANCE.

Every now and then it becomes nec- eBssry for some one of the fraternal orders. where there Is a death benefit, to increase its rates in order to meet the demands for death claims. As long as an organization is rapidly gaining in membership. 1t is able to meet it's obligations on the low rates, but after ths lull and the presentation of con Htantly increasing death claims, the inevitable is sure 10 follow and has included them all in their turn.
 The Illinois Fraternal congress, in Chicago. and thirtv-two fraternal so- cieties members of the congress. have denounced all fraternal insurance that continues on a lottery status and in a resolution declared that the read justment Of rates should be accepted to protect their bene6ciaries. The ac- tion was a sequel to the adoption of a bill for uniform legislation. known as the Mobile bill, by the National Association of Insurance Commission CTS. and it has become a law in many states. It was recognized that the first members to die were the only ones who could benefit from the funds The most recent case has been that of the Modern Woodmen of America in which the protesting members have been warned to accept the adjustment and retain their membership. The resemblance of the general plan to a lottery whereby the early death cer- tifcates are the winners was the ef- fectiye example used in reaching the conclusion and adopting the resolu- ton. Such readlustments temporarily retsrd their growth. but put the order on 8 much more sound basis with as surance that the claims can be paid

DANCER IN FOREIGN SEED Po-
 TATOEs.

It had generally been supposed that this country. vast as it is and condu- cive to agriculture raised it's own potatoes but such is not the case, and vegetables in fact which have been imported for the eight months ending with February amounted 10 s1o50O. o00 chiefly due 10 the large increase in the importation of potatoes, 2.5Oo - GOO bushels having been brought into this country in February, which Is about twice the average annual inn portation during the past decade. The shortage of the potato crop is shown when the value of potatoes imported this fiscal year amounts to over three million Eight months imports of potatoes lu 1900 amounted to but ft-.0qs. A the same time beans and dried peas have been more than dou- bed.
 The advisability of securing such foreign potatoes for seed has appealed 10 many. but warning against it is given by the department of sgrirul- ture. which finds that a wide expert ence in testing a large number of for eign grown varieties has demonstrated that foreign stock is not adapted to the climate and soil conditions in this country. The tests in the last seven wears have shown that the yield is not as large as of the American va rieties and they require several sea sons to get acclimated The danger oi introducing several serious diseases not now prevalent here is also a dan ger in using such stock.
