Virginia outlaws recalled a court
by shooting its officers to death and
now the people q that state are re-
ported as being very anxious to re-
call the assassins. The recall in the
first instance was dastardly but
based abnormally on the mooted
abstract question of the peoples
taking "a hand, when court de-

Staggering Task.

Should the Democrats retain the
1872 votes they had IN the last cleo
toral college, It viii only be neces-
sary for them to gain 184 votes in
the next college to win In the presi-

There is the rub. There is no
certainty Of their retaining what
they had and the task of making
such a great gain is too staggering
even to think about.
Democratic national prospects
thus certainly hang on very faint

SENATOR BOB" AND ct. R." WORK FOR PROGRESSIVE
VICTORY IN CHICAGO CONVENTION

VICTORY IN CHIC
By Gibson Gardner.
Washington, Jan. 5.-L.aFol1-
cite and Roosevelt are working
in harmony to insure a progress
slve control of the next Republi-
can national convention.
LaFollette is more encouraged
than ever before to carry through
his canvass to the last ballot in
Chicago.
There is no clash between La
Toilette and the Roosevelt move
ments.
LaFollette is candidate.
Roosevelt is not candidate.
Both are opposed to Taft. Both
are for the progressive program.
Roosevelt is LaFollette's chief
support. He believes LaFollette
is the best man to make the pro-
gressive fight. The fight must be
made aggressively and in the
open.
Roosevelt is not in position
to make the fight himself. He
does not feel that he can take an
aggressive part in sending into
private life the man he put into
the presidential office. 49,
But Roosevelt will not help
Taft to another term. Taft repu-
dated all the policies to which he
was pledged and Roosevelt feels
that this Reputation has deprived
Taft of any claim which might
otherwise be imposed by personal
relations or party regularity.
But while Roosevelt will not

es him. He is human. ...-.
If the country should rise as
one man and demand that he ac-
cept another term it is safe to say
that Roosevelt would be even
more pleased. But that has not
yet happened. Perhaps it never
will But this brings us to the
final paragraph i'll defining Roose-
velt's attitude.
Roosevelt will not say what he
might or might not do if there
were an overwhelming popular
demand that he take a second
term. He might decline the honor.
He has put aside one renomina-
ton which he could have had.
Then he might accept. He might
look upon it as duty more than
honor. He might regard it as a
party Gala call by earnest citi-
zens for a leadership tending to-
ward the accomplishment of GER
tain great reforms. Roosevelt
will not close the door. Through
this opening-owing to the fact
that Roosevelt will not promise
not to accept any nomination at
any time-comes the great sweep
of the Roosevelt sentiment.
The hopeless politician, desert
ing Taft, fearing LaFollette and
desiring to save his lob, has
jumped to Roosevelt. The man in
the street who always has loved
Roosevelt and has refused to be

BELIEVES IN MODERN FARMING.
Henry Rutz Uses Gasoline Tractor
on Farm Near Pearl.

A Dickinson county farmer who
believes in up to date methods OF
farming is Henry Ruiz Of Carlton,
who is living on the r. M. White
farm near Pearl. This summer ne
purchased an Avery one-man gas
tractor and self lift pillow outfit, the
only tractor to be worked success
fully in this county. Herbert Lam
des, the hustling representative OF
the Avery Co. in this territory, sold
Mr.. Rutz the outfit.
The Avery self-lift pillow saves the
wages and board of an extra man
saves hard work lifting and lowering
plows by hand levers, saves time at
the ends. The Avery tractor weighs
only about 1900 pounds and pulls
4 to plows in breaking and to 8
in stubble. 1t does not pack the
| ground and travels over softer
ground, which enables one to get
into the field earlier in the spring
or after rain. 1t runs steady with
hardly any vibration and is almost
as quiet as a steam engine. The
engine uses one gallon of gasoline
an acre in stubble and one and a
half gallons in breaking. The trac-
tor with the self-lift plows will pillow
on the average of 20 acres a day.
The tractor and self-lift plows is a
labor saving device for the farmer
and Mr.. Rutz is well pleased and
is having good success with his out
fit.
