Do you remember PETER of Kansas? If you do,
probably you recall nothing except his whskers which
waved hariousy in thousands of from the mo-
ment he prominence in the politics of his state to
the of his retirement from the United States.
PETER at 80 is in hospital at Topeka, minus leg
avert death from bone Infection He submitted to the
amputaton of the left leg and this only another sacr
fee for the he holds dear-the populist
You see he in the midst of elaborate article,
The Rise and Fall of the Farmers Alliance, and
bound finish it eff it takes eg which it actually
did,
Young citizens may be interested to know what that
wild eyed popust of 20 odd years ago all
about. Well they fought for lot of har-brained rad
cal ideas. Here are some of them: Direct primaries
law public utilities commission, direct vote for United
States senator's prohibition of railroad rebates and dis
ordinations initiative and referendum recall of judicial
decisions.
Were these popuIists insane? No. Just dreamers
who talked about the rule of the people, They were
laughed off the face of the EARTH Of course it easy
to answer them All you had to do to point at Pe
er's whiskers? Could you imagine anything more con-
elusive in the way of intellectual cncher? Hardly
But in his old age PETER cngs these deusions and
thinks them worth writing about. But what can you
expect of them? Look his whiskers Sioux City Daily

COMMIT TO MEMORY.

When you feel yourself prompted to jump into th'
political game and "save the country" advise TIT
careful reading of the following poem by Rudyard Kip
ing Better still, commit it to memory
''IF"
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs, and blaming it you
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their ioubting, too
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies
Or being hated, don't give way to hating.
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you dream, and not make dreams your master,
If you think, and not make thoughts you aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster,
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life, broken
And stoop to build 'em up with worn out tools;
If you make one heap of all your winnings,
And risk it turn of pitch and toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginning,
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you force your heart and and sinew
To serve your turn long after you gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you,
Except the Will which says to them ''Hold on
If you talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings ose the common touch:
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count With you. but too much:
If you fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds worth of distance run
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And-which is more-youll be Man. my son!

CoRDoN-THE PROGRESSIVE LEADER.

For years the Republican party of Minnesota has
been in peculiar position The rank and file of the
party has progressive but the leadership has been
reactionary. The reactonary leadership continued in
because the quality of the progressive leadership
was such command united support and confidence
Progressive communities have the legislature
who gave promise of becoming progressive leaders but
when they entered upon the making of laws they have
deemed the favor of the state machine important
than to the risks connected with progressive lead
ershp and their usefulness has been destroyed There
have been and sincere progressive leaders,
but they too often of the pioneer agtat
ors than constructive statesman.
But of this special session of the legislature
which Governor Ebehart may have called with
view to retrieving his political fortunes-appears
one who looms large the progressive leader whom
the Republican party have long needed and desired
none other than Lieutenant Governor S. Y. Gordon

The Legislature met very much dspleased with the

all the progressive legislators Of whatever degree but
in that last Senate buster he forced the leader of tire

clearly the blame for continuing the session, and
he yielded.

Gordon solved the most delicate and puzzng situations
and demonstrated the highest quality CT leadership and
his title clear progressive leader of the first
order, and the progressive leader of Minnesota.

The presence Of weeds on many
farms demands that mere rigorous
measures be taken for their destruc-
ton. 1t Is plain that % long as so
few pastures. meadows and cultivated
crops are used in rotation with grain
the farmers will find II very difficult
to keep the weeds In check.
Summer following may destroy

labor during the entire season. when

Mustard, wild oats, pigeon grass,

weeds with which farmers have to
contend.
1t is TO be regretted that 20 far as
the writer knows, no simple or prac-
tical method has been found that will
surely and completely eradicate
French weed. Some farmers have re-
ported methods that have proved sue
cessful with them, but other farmers
have tried the same methods and
failed.
Some few things have been learned
by experiments, however. II this weed
is to be destroyed, the work must be
done thoroughly. The weed produces
seeds so profusely that II one plant is
allowed to go to seed a large area Of
surrounding land will soon be in
tested.
IL there Is one direction In farming
in which thoroughness Ia required, 1t
is in trying to destroy this weed. A
slipshod way will not do, and an ounce
OF prevention Is worth a thousand
pounds of cure. Farmers whose farms
are free from the French weed should
guard against its incoming with the
utmost vigilance and care.
