In answer 10 a request to give the
opinion Of Flaneur as to whether the
recent durbar pageant was as magnifi-
cent as those of former coronations at
Delhi: Sad to relate. the fact will remain
that for sheer spectacular magnificence
and Eastern spIendor the present durbar
will not compare favorably with that Of
eight wears ago, when the Duke Of Con-
naupht represented his late brother,
King Edward VII. On that occasion the
Imposing procession OF state elephants
was a truly remarkable sight II made
the bystander catch his breath In wonder
to see the army OF these slow, diSnined
creatures marched by in their gorgeous
trappings, as though they were fully
conscious Of their syTnbolical importance.

nbant as the symbol of his power. and

Now comes the suggestion, almost a
promise. from Kentucky that ex-senator
Joe Blackburn may be one Of the dele
gates-at-large TO the Baltimore conven-
tion. He is not yet too old for active
participation in political affairs. and it
is recalled that he made a speech in
Baltimore two years ago in which he
predicted that Baltimore would have the
next Democratic national convention,
and also that Judson Harmon, Of Ohio,
would be nominated for President. When
Blackburn made that speech, Col Rob-
ert Grain and other eminent citizens OF
Baltimore had not given thought to se-
curing the convention. but they were
busy soon enough
The Blackburn prediction Of Harmon Is

Seems a bit odd to political observers
in nightly session at the New Willard
that New England Republicans do not
seem very much agitated over the ap-

No Promises Being Made.


While New England members OF the
Democratic National Committee were
cautious about promising any electoral
votes to the next Democratic nominee
for President, there was a permissible
pointing with pride to the remarkable
Democratic representation in Congress
from the New England cluster OF States.
There are three Democratic governors,
two United States Senators. and nine
Democratic Congressmen from the six
states hitherto considered safely Repub-
lican.
II Is sadly admitted. Of course. that
Connecticut IS the only one Of the six
that has ever given electoral votes to a
Democratic candidate for President, and
there is fear that in a Presidential cam
paign few electoral votes can be prom
ised from the whole New England sec
tIou. unless Gov. Foss, Of Massachusetts.

BUFFALO PITTS THREsHiNG
MACHINE CO.

Among the Fargo farm machinery
houses, none occupy a higher place
than the Buffalo Pitts Co. They have
M of the largest plants in the state,
and handle a complete line Of thresh-
ing and blowing machinery, as well as
jobbing Olds Gas engines, Of both sta
tionary and portable designs. This
firm supplies all of North Dakota,
eastern Montana and northwestern
Minnesota.
The local house was established in
1880, with L. III. Waters, manager.
In 1881 s. g. Knight came here as
manager and remained until 1886. He
was succeeded BY l.. M. Countryman,
who remained from 1887 to 1889. S. q.
knight again returned and remained
from 1890 to 1909 when G. G.. Wagner,
the present manager came to this city
and has been here ever since. They
are located at 420-424 N. P. avenue.
When the house was started in 1880,
1t was comparatively a small concern,
having but $500 square feet of floor
space. 1t has grown rapidly until now
it requires 61,875 square feet of floor
space; 9,S75 square feet of platform
space, 375 feet Of trackage in order
to take care of their business. In 1880
they had just a few machines on the
floor, but in late years their sales have
numbered as high as 225 separators
and 125 engines in a single year.

Is There a Great Common
Danoer?

By q. g. Kruse, Editor Benton County Times
vinton, Iowa.
More and more plainly the fact dawns
upon our mind that the system of CEN
tralized distribution now gaining strong
hold on the people is menace to the
institutions of our common country and
a system fraught with danger to our very
liberties. We have seen light; we have
been converted Heretofore we have
looked upon the great catalogue houses
as agencies filling certain want; but
that theory will not stand an impartial
and intelligent investigation. Suppose
this idea ia carried out to the limit and
that the catalogue concerns absorb all the
business of the country. What then?
We will tell you "what then" accord
ing to our lights. Say that the catalogue
concerns have supplanted the local dis
tributaries, what follows2 Is it to be
supposed that they will rest content with
one half of the country's business? Not
much. The selling of everything will be
only one junction of the great centralized
system of distribution; next will come
the buying of everything, and with the
selling of all articles of commerce in the
hands of the few and the buying of all
products in the hands of those same few,
where are we, the common run of PEG.
pie, to find place in which to exercise
our powers as individuals; and what is to
become of the freedom and liberties our
farmer friends now enjoy under widely
spread competitive system. This is no
time or place for fault finding, neither
are we in the business OF finding fault.
We have all along gone on the theory
that the man who earns his money has
the right to spend it where he wills, and
we still believe in that theory, with GER
tain restrictions and notifications, but
the question of buying where one wills
has something involved beside the mere
question of right. There ia the future to
think Of Are we as community going
to aid a few men to get rich that soon
they will control all the nations re-
sources that are manufactured and taken
from the ground and from the farm yard?
This is not question for the day or
the hour, but question that has to deal
with future. It's not proposition based
on sentiment although sentiment should
play an important part, but proposition
based on the individual future welfare
If the present tendancy remains I'M
checked the United States of the future
will comprise few extremely rich, who
will manufacture, buy, and distribute,
and millions upon millions of ordinary
men, wholly dependent upon those few
manufacturers, buyers and distributors.
The greatest good for the greatest number
is the underlying principle that should
guide AZ and governments in their at.
