Fergus County Democrat. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1904-1919, 1912-11-05

The democrats yesterday won the
most sweeping victory ever won by
any political party In the history of
American politics. After the voters
had finished their work last night, the
proud old republican party, which has
been In control Of the affairs Of the
government since the days Of Lincoln,
was complete wreck, having suffered
. defeat from which It is likely never
to recover. The progressive party,
newborn and full Of prediction hope,
did but little better, although the
Rooseveltian organization accom-
plished what It evidently started out
to do-crush the republicans and win
second place in the presidential stakes.
Taft carried but three states, Utah,
Wyoming and Vermont, while Roose-
welt has surely carried illinois, Iowa,
South Dakota, Michigan, with the is
sue in Pennsylvania, Minnesota and
California still close between Roose-
welt and Wilson at the time Of going
to press.
With these few exceptions, Wilson
swept the nation. He lost. but one
state in all of that rock-ribbed repub-
iican stronghold, New England. He
carried New York by quarter Of a mil
lion, Taft running third. Ohio gave
him a tremendous plurality, as did

JOE JEANETTE
A PEEVED negro
Dubs Johnson as a moving
Picture Fighter.
SLIPS THE coWARDICE CHARGE
AT THE CHAMPION TOO
GOT TITLE THROUGH LUCKY
BREAK" SAYS JoE-"MADE HIM
QUIT ONCE" HE SAYS.
Nv JAMES ]. CORBETT.

BY JAMES j. CORBETT.
Former Heavyweight Champion OF the
World.
New York.-On the eve of the de-
parture for Paris, where he hopes to
utilize Fred Storbeck, the South Al
rican champion CD as a means OF re-
plenishing his dwindling bank account,
Joe Jeanette, the negro boxer, usu-
ally person of great reserve and tacl-
turnity, grabbed his trusty fountain
pen and let loose few hundred words
anent the attitude of one j. Arthur
Johnson, heavyweight champion OF the
world l take it from the tenor OF
Joe's maiden effort as letter writer
that he can hardly be classed as an
ardent admirer of the present title
holder.
Joe is peeved. In sooth, it is no
wonder he feels vexed. Willing to
box anybody, no color or creed barred,
he finds it a difficult task to land an
occasional job; this applies to the en-
tire bunch of heavies from Johnson
down to the most hopeless of the
hopes. The champion in particular re-
fuses to give him tumble at all, and
that's what gets Joseph's goat. There
fore, 1t Is at the Johnson person (no
ess), that the Hoboken scrapper
sings his bunch of libelous Ian
guage.
Angry that none Of the boxers in
this country, with or without rep,
wants his game, and because he finds
1t necessary to hike to Europe to earn
piece of money, Jeanette in his ar
raignment of the champion, lands some
damaging blows to the already totter-
Ing reputation of Jeffries' conqueror.
He charges Johnson with cowardice,
dubs him moving picture fighter,
iour-fiusher and other names that in
dicate great affection for the accused;
asserts he is champion only through
lucky break" that he is stalling
to avoid meeting Langford or himself
(Jeannette), and knows he will surely
be licked if he boxes either. He brands
Jack as an overrated champion, con-
cluding with the declaration that he
made Johnson quit in their match in
Philadelphia, and offering to bet $4,000
he can do the trick over again. Out
side of these few failings the cham
pion is all right, according to Joe.
Fight followers who doubt Jean
nette's right to challenge for the title
need only peruse the record books to
convince themselvel of his eligibility.
If the match with Langford arranged
for Los Angeles in July goes through
and he emerges a victor over the
doughty tar baby" Joe declares he
will force Johnson to give him battle
or lay down his hand and retire from
the game.

NEGRO MUSIC

The development of the negro as
he came under the influence of the
white race does not show any material
difference from that of other savage
races under similar conditions. He
adopted Christianity and in adapting
it to his intellectual capacity he
caricatured 1t to a certain extent. He
mixed 1t up with the old witchcraft
and sorcery of his African ancestors.
The Celts and Teutons did the same,
for all the church festivals Of today
and many of the church observanceS
are concessions made by the priests to
the heather superstitions of their early
converts. Did not our great Martin
and are there not today people who
will not sit down thirteen at tablet
Freedom! Who is free? Are we not
all more or less shackled?
But if proof positive of a soul in
the negro people should be demanded
1t can be given, for they have brought
over from Africa and developed in
this country, even under all the un-
favorable conditions of slavery, a
music SO wonderful, SO beautiful, and
yet SO strange, that like the gypsy
music of Hungary, 1t is at once the
admiration and despair of educated
musicians of our race. Unique and
inimitable, 1t is the only music of this
country, except that of the Indians
which can claim to be folk music. In
it the negroes pour out their joys and
their sorrows in naive, but wonder
fully moving fashion; and in the face
of such testimony of emotional and
esthetical beauty, who dare deny them
wider future possibilities In the great
work of liberation of mind and soul
which is now going on?-Walter Dam

NEW SPRING coLoRs.

Robert Henri, the noted artist,
paused before a landscape at the Phil
adelphia Academy Of the Fine Arts
and said:
"Dawb, who painted this, has sprung
from humble circumstances to great
wealth and eminence.
"Dawb made his first success in
Paris. He was diffident and abashed
in those days. When he would sally
out from his garret in the Rue Vau-
girard to a duchess in the Avenue des
Champs Elysees or a princess in the
Rue de PUniversite his heart would
be in his mouth.
"They say that once, at a dinner
party at Paillard's, Dawb the guest of
honor, didn't open his mouth from the
marennes vertes to the souffle.
Finally, when the dessert came on,
the beautiful and elegant hostess
smiled and said:
"'Come, dear NJ. Dawb, do say some
thing!'
'"Dswb blushed at this challenge,
racked his brain and stammered. with
a bashful smile:
"'Have you noticed, ladies and gen
tlemen, that this years pawn tickets
are all green?"

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Disking corn ground before plowins
Is now practiced by good corn grow
ers. It makes the soil fine at the bot
tom as well as on top.
In planting corn on hilly land, run
the rows along the side of the hill
rather than up and down the slope.
In this way water of rains will not cut
the middle of the rows by forming
gullies. Each row along the side of
the hill will act as a terrace for re-
tarding the downward flow of surface
water. 1t will soak into the soil where
needed, and will not wash away SO
much of the surface soil.
The more corn ground is worked in
dry state before planting is done.
the easier the corn will be to tend and
keep clean.
Experience has taught that washed
eggs are liable to rot" In a very few
days. When preparing case of fresh
eggs for the market do not wash them
1t also makes them shiny and look old
A good way to dispose of early sum-
mer manure is to scatter 1t between
rows Of growing corn, cultivating It
into the surface soil. Here 1t will not
damage the plants through heating.
and with every rain richness will be
extracted to feed the growing crop. 1t
will make the corn grow SO fast that
you can nearly see 1t grow"
Green forage is the farmers cheap
feed. The farmer who expects to
make clear profit on his animals with
the least amount of labor will have
plenty of pastures fenced off with high
and tight-woven wire fences.
Build more hay shelter before hay
ing time. Hay has become as valu-
able, pound for pound, as concentrat-
ed feeds. A roof for sheltering hay
will pay for itself, and more, the first
year, and 1t will shelter the crop for
many years.
The silo is simply a storehouse for
feeds. Building out means enlarging
the feed storage capacity of your live
stock and dairy equipment. The silo
Is the most economical storage for
feeds chat can be constructed. me-
dium-sized silo has a storage capacity
equal to a large barn and is cheaper
to construct.
Dairying is a great aid in general
farming, since the monthly cash in
come from cows can be used for rum
ming expenses without necessity of
borrowing. The man who always has
some cash on hand is on the inde-
pendent road. The dairy farmer is
almost always in good circumstances.
With a good start he is in a position
for continued success.

POULTRY POINTERS.

Hens that have not laid heavily dur
ing the winter, as rule, will lay
eggs in the spring that will hatch out
strong chicks. Forcing for winter
laying lowers vitality.
When eggs are tested out of the
incubator their place may be filled
from eggs under hens set the same
day, and the hens reset on new eggs.
Pure-bred stock with ducks and
geese will pay as well as with chick
ems.
Watch chicks in the brooder run
on cold days and do not allow them
to huddle up in a pile in one corner.
They should either be under the
hover in the warm or out in the run
eating or exercising.
Never scatter feed on the floor OF
the brooder run for chicks to pick up.
In this manner of feeding they will.
of necessity, eat more or less of their
own filth and become diseased.
Chicks in the brooder should be
provided with both a sanitary water
ing and feeding vessel. These are ar
ranged so that the birds can partake
of drink or water without stepping into
the vessels. Mixed dry chick feed
may be in the feed box before them
all, the time.
Ten or twelve goose-eggs may be
placed under a goose for incubation,
but when a hen is used from four to
six will be enough, according to the
size of the hen.
Exercise is a remedy for leg weak
ness as we'll as many other chick all
ments. Give space for abundant ex-
ercise, yet make a run dry and clean,
and keep the hover clean and warm
SO they can sleep in comfort after ex-
ercising.
After chicks are three weeks old,
they may be kept in fireless brood
er with artificial heat at night, and
on cold days supplied by jugs of hot
water Wrap the hot jugs with thick
cloth.
Guineas as table fowls are becoming
popular birds with the decreasing of
game A few could be raised with
profit on every farm. They are good
foragers and destroyers of insects
and good layers. but their eggs have
wild flavor and are not desirable
food The egg-laying season begins
in April, yet the first broods should
not be brought off till warm weather,
as the young are tender and cannot
stand the cold. Four weeks are re
quired for the eggs to hatch.

DON'T UNDERFEED.

THE mistake that most farmers
make is in underfeeding their cattle,
rather than overfeeding them,' said
DR.. c. H. Eckles of the Missouri ex-
pertinent station, recently.
"A COW should be given all she will
use, so long as she is using it for
milk production. There can be no
ironclad laws for feeding dairy cows,
bst few practical rules may be laid
down which will apply in every case.
The cows should be fed all the rough
age they will clean up at all times.
Milk animals should be fed all they
will take without gaining in weight.
Grain should be fed at the rate of one
pound of grain a day for each three
pounds Of milk produced each day or
)ne pound of grain day for each
,ound of butterfat produced each
week"

REMOVE THE MALE FROM THE
FLOCK.

Where the attention of the male be-
comes a perfect harassment, the nerv-
GUS arrangement may decrease the egg
product 1t is, therefore. safest to
have not less than ten females mated
to each male bird, and after breeding
season it is best to remove the male
from the flock altogether. Hens will
lay just as well without the atten-
tions of a male as with them.

time lies in the fact that the whole
thing may yet lead to his nomination
for governor. 1t will be remembered
that some months ago there was talk
of O'Brien as candidate for the nomi-
nation. and he never has said that he

mittee. 1t is well known that the state
committee is completely under the
domination of Taggart. and practically
every member is Ralston man. While
none of the talk has come from mem
bers of the state comittee. some of the
democrats who stand around the edge
of the crowd and listen and talk are
saying that the committee ought to
take Bose in hand and punish him for
taking such an active part in the
Boehne campaign 1t would not cause
any surprise here If pressure was
brought to bear on the committee to
reprimand Bosse or even If he should
be requested to resign as member of
the committee. That shows the in
tensity of the feeling among the Tag
CART Democrats. It shows the extent
to which they are aroused over the
Boehne movement. They are scared
until their teeth rattle, and their man
ner and the way they use the English

would not take the place. But this
was at the time when Ralston came
out as a candidate, and since both
Ralston and O'Brien are Taggart men
1t was apparent that it would not do for
both OF them to make the race, and this
meant that O'Brien had to lay aside
any inclinations and aspirations he
might have had in that direction and
content himself with again being a can
didate for auditor of state.
But the defiant and warlike attitude
of Boehne has changed the situation.
1t is now pointed out that if Boehne
makes as much Roadway as he feels he
will make and IL other candidates
come out to hold some of the votes
away from him. it may turn out that
Taggart will find he cannot put Ralston
over for the nomination. In that event
it would be but natural that he shuld
turn to Brien and nominate him. And
this is what makes O'Brien feel good
over the new development.
The appearance of Senator Robert E.
Proctor. of Elkhart a candidate for
the nomination for governor may be a
part of this plan. Politicians here are
looking at il in two ways They point
out that the more numerous are the
ernor the less chance has Ralston of
winning because. they say. If he does not
win on the first ballot he probably will
not win at all. They say this looks
like Proctor's candidacy may be in the
interest of Boehne or at least in the
interest of the anti-Tagart movement t.
Proctor undoubtedly viii have his own
county delegation and probably viii
have some other votes in the conven-
/ ton. and these. it is said would have
gone to Ralston except for the can
| didacy of Proctor.
The other view taken by some of the
politicians her is that Proctors an
| nouncement may be part of a scheme
| to nominate O'Brien for governor. II
is pointed OF that in the first place the
democrats of Elkhart county were 70,
O'Brien, but when it became known
that he was not a candidate they IA
vored the nomination of Ralston-

be found that Ralston cannot b,

all along, until the very recent past
refused to allow his name to be con
sidered for any nomination. He de

and he also declined to stand for an
other term as state senator. So hi
announcement that he is out for tn
nomination for governor is rathe
