Polk county has a second Luther
Burbank in the person of David Cal
breath, of Monmouth, who has grown
bunch of midget pears which he
calls the Bull Moose Fizzle." He de-
ties competition. Mr. Calbreath plant
ed the pear tree with the intention
of raising full grown, marketable
pears For a while the bunch pros
pered remarkably Then the rest of
the pears began to sit up and take
notice and commenced to grow, too
This made the selfish little group
of nine mad and they were so
afraid that no one would notice
them that they just shriveled up
from pure "orneriness and quit grow
ing"
First prize i'm the Bull Moose Fiz-
zle" class was awarded Mr.. Calbreath
nc the Polk County Fair His "Fiz-
zle' was the only entry.

Judging by their oft-repeated as
sertions, the Roosevelt party is the
only truly honest political Organiza-
tion eXtant They claim all the Vir-
tues for their peerless" leader and
declare that he is i'm tn race simply
to give the plain peepul" a show for
their white alley Yet, in California
they have brought to a successful is
sue, a legal fight which will deprive
the regular Republicans or support
ers of President Taft, from voting
for him unless they write the names
of Taft electors on the official ballot.
The same tactics promise to succeed
in Kansas. Suppose tha matter WAS
the other way around, ana the Third
termers were thus dsfranchisCd
What a howl would go up from these
self-styled paragons of virtue. the
result of the despicable tactics of the
Bun Moosers will be 10 deliver the
electoral vote of both California and
Kansas to Governor Wilson. Dcpriv-
ed of their right to cast their vote for
the regular Republican nominee. the
Republicans of these two states face
the alternative of either not voting,
or Of casting their preference for the
Democratic candidate. That thoy will
adopt the latter course is natural, .
and no one can blame them. The /
have overplaycd their /
hand in these states and two doubt .
ful commonwcalths have been forced .
into the Democratic column. But
The principal idea with Roosevelt and .
his cohorts is to defeat the Republ-
FhtFtfAR.
m that direction viii probably meet
with the approval of every Bull
Hooser, especially as not one of. them
possessed of usual forcsightcdness.
'cally expects Roosevclts success.
