FARMERS ARE DOMINANT

Where shall you look for the dom
inant factor IN the life of any ma
ton? To the tiller of the soil.
The only real aristocracy America
has ever known was that of the
landed proprietors of the south.
The farmers are the most numer-
Gus class in the country.
Their average intelligence is the
highest.
Yet they have not exercised that
influence in the affairs of the state
and nation that they shoI1ld exercise.
For some strange reason the farm
ers have refused to pull together.
They are actively independent and
this independence is carried to the
point of refusing to work with each
other.
The man who can teach the farm
ers TO organize and stay organized
will have solved half the problems of
the nation.
The political machine will pass
then, the dominance of the interests
will cease, the chicanery of the east
will be ineffective, the truth of the
soil and the soil tillers will enter in
to the administration of the affairs
of state.
The time has come for the farm
ers 20 lay aside their political and
other differences and get together.

A MANS A MAN

So the Titanic went down. And
with her nearly 1000 people and al
the world shuddered. The inventive
genius of man has narrowed the sea
TO mere ditch, has robbed Time OF
his speed and lent to the means Of
travel the luxury of the palace.
Great accidents at sea have become
so rare that land lubbers no longer
sheer at the sailors exclamation:
God help the people ashore on a
night like this"
And yet tie Titanic, greatest.
fastest, most luxurious of them all
went down. We reach out our
hands and tame the elements and
teach them to obey our mandates.
We harness steam, we rob the at
mosphere of its electricity, we defy
the wind and no longer dread the
terrors of the sea. Man stands colos-
sal, with the forces of the universe
under his feet.
Out Of the enveloping fog drifts a
foe we have not conquered, force
we have not subdued.
From distant England the Titanic
held its way. More than 1000 peo-
pie were aboard. The giant steamer
plowed its course through the At
lantic. How bright the days were.
What pleasure on deck and in salon.
Far beneath the grimy stoker worked
in hardening heat. No matter.
Wealth paraded the decks and hold
ings worth a billion dollars were rep
resented among the passengers. So
the boat three blocks in length sped
across the beautiful ocean. Home is
at hand. In the distance are the
gray banks of fog that mark the
shores of the American continent.
The sun shines. The boat darts for
ward. The, mist thickens, it closes
around the steamer, it settles down,
close, black, impenetrable, a pail.
The last sunlight for all the ages has

AN INJUSTICE TO Mr.. TAFT

This is by way of being an apology
or an explanation anyway. In
newspaper making one of the dead
lest sins is inaccuracy or extrava-
gance of statement, and when the
North America, in haste, commits
that sin, it feels the disgrace keenly.
So an explanation is offered of the
statement made on the morning fol-
lowing the North Dakota primaries
that President Taft received only
one vote in forty Of the total cast. "
This estimate was based upon par
tial figures and seemed to be nearly
correct, but it certainly looked very
bad when compared next day with
the statements in other papers that
the Taft vote was one in ten.
Then and there it was determined
to await the official count, and inn
mediately apologize to the public for
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1912-04-23
having inadvertently deceived it.

having inadvertently deceived it.
The official figures being in. it is
our painful duty to acknowledge
how gross was the error. Mr.. Taft's
vote was more than one in forty; it
was one in thirty-slx. The count is:
LaFollette, 81, 12t; Roosevelt, "a. 217;
Taft. 1859. Mr.. Taft's percentage
is 2.7651 plus; say q per cent.
There is something quite fasclnat-
ing about the 1,659 votes.
For instance there are 1900 pre-
cincts in North Dakota. Did 1859
precincts contribute one vote each,
while 141 ignored the name entirely?
Or did a couple of hundred precincts
rise up in their might and give him
eight votes apiece, while the other
1000 forgot the titular head
of the party? We do not know.
But there is another interesting COM
putation:

flooded those decks.

Years ago in the far north a mon
ster mass of ice was formed. torn
loose. set adrift and started on It's
fatal cruise. Death stood at the
PROV of that iceberg and unerringly
guided it south. 1t moved slowly.
It drifted hither and thither, appar.
emily aimlessly and yet in the end
with deadly certainty of purpose. Il
was enveloped in the fog, it was
noiseless, it was all but hidden be-
meath the sea.
Into the path of the Titanic Death
guided this mass of ice.
Itwas night. The passengers were
sleeping. home was close at hand
Home? All, yes.
There came the terrible shock OF
the collision, the grinding of the
hull on the ice, the topping back in
to the sea, the inward rush of the
water.
And then the panic.

FUGIT HORA

The sands of time are red
With blood of murdered chances,
Over whose reeking bed
Fair Folly dances.
The road of time Is strewn
With bones of wasted power;
The moldering leaves of June,

For time, more time, we cry
With passions fitful pleading
And watch the pale hours die,
Their grasps Enheeding.
The hills of time are gray
With future dawns assembling;
Oh, ghosts of yesterday
We wait you, trembling

NOW PERMIT ASSIGNMENTS
OF HOMESTEAD ENTRIES

The secretary of the interior has put
into effect number of important modi-
hcatlons of the regulations governing
the assignments of homestead entries
within irrigation projects.
A settler is now permitted to assign
any part of a farm unit with the ay-
proval of the project engineer upon
the filing with the local land office of
plat OF amended farm unit approved
by the engineer with the other papers.
When one-half of the irrigable area
has been reclaimed the entryman may
make proof of reclamation without re
gard to the number of payments OF the
building charge which have been made,
and will receive evidence of the ae-
ceptanee Of such proof. Provision is
made for recording mortgages which
will facilitate the making of loans
and at the same time protect the money
lenders. 1t is believed that great i'm
provement of the conditions on many
of the government projects where the
settlers have been severely handicapped

WHEN THE PRESIDENCY
WAS REFUSED

In 1854, it is related, James G. Blaln :
did not want the nomination for presi
dent, because he thought ne could n29
carry New York, the pivotal state, says
the Brooklyn Eagle.
lie suggested for the ticket William
| T. Sherman and Robert I. Lincoln, say
| ing: "Those names put together
would be irresistible. We would have
a campaign of marching and song, and
the ticket would elect ITSELF Bat
Sherman refused, saying that he did not
thin kthat military men were suited
to the White House job.
1t is also related that Abraham Lin
coin, wnen a candidate tor a secon !.
term, offered the second place on the
ticket with him to Benjamin Butle:
But Butler declined on the ground that
he ought not to leave hte army at Il
period of crisis to take a civil position.
Had he decided otherwise he would
have become president instead of An
drew johnson.
Daniel Webster, however, was the
only man who ever threw away the
presidency twice, and nobody ever de-
sired the Office more eagerly. He re
fused to accept the second place on the
ticket with Harrison in 1910, and thus
did not succeed the later when lie died.
Again, in 1913, he might have beea
vice president with Taylor if he had SO
wished. He refused and Fillmore was
put in, succeeding Taylor on his dernse
sixteen months later.
There have been a number of other
instances where Incn might have oecu,
pied the presidential chair if they had
seized the opportunity. For instance,
it seems to be beyond question that
Roscoe Conkling could have had the
nomination in 1850 if he had cho 4
to reach out his hand for it. But ne
did not so choose, and Garfield got it.
Thus it was mere chance that Gar
fed became president instead of Conk
ling.
1t is matter of historical record
that Senator Ben Wade was to have
been made president If the vote of i'm
parchment against Andrew johnson
had gone through.
Wade had even gone so far as "a
pick out the men who were to COM
pose his cabinet. eut II happened
that the names of the men he. chose
were so distasteful to at least one
other senator that the latter turned in
johnson s favor, thus defeating the
Impeachment by single vote, and in
cidentally keeping the arrogant aud
dictatorial Mr.. Wade out of the White
House.
