WILL IT Be FUNSTON?
Rumor That General Edwards VIII
Succeed Late General Grant.

Washington, April 24.-Brigadier
General Frederick Funston, one of the
favorite sons of Kansas, as the senior
officers of his class, would likely be
advanced to the rank of major general
unless President Taft desires to adj
vance another. Such promotions have
been made, notably in the case Of Maj
or General Leonard Wood, now chief
of staff and the ranking major general
of the active list. 1t is rumored here
that General Edwards is to have the
place
Brigadier General Edwards, howev-
er, stands eighth in point of rank
among the brigadier generals of
active list. Brigadier Generals Gro
zier, Bliss, Hall, Mills, Sharpe, and
Allen rank him, in the order named,
and if the SUGGESTIONS were to be auto
matte, General Crozier would succeed

Go After the Cow

"Don't sit dow in the meadow and
wait for the COW to back up to be
milked-go after the cow" is line
which appeared a short time and ap-
plies particularly to North Dakota
farmers. The basis for the whole
dairy industry is the COW, and if the
farmers are going to use to best ad-
vantage the great quantities of rough
age that annually are wasted on every
farm they must go after the COW.
There is no way to convert the corn,
the hay, the clover, the straw and the
abundance of green feed into a market
able form so quicker and SO economic
ally as by feeding to the dairy COW.
She works day and night constantly,
both summer and winter, on week days
and Sundays, in flood and drouth, to
convert the unmarketable waste of the
farm into a finished and valuable pro-
duct of human food.
The first thing is to get the cows,
and profits are assured, for the country
is especially adapted, the feed is here,
the marketing facilities are at hand
and the products are in growing de-
mand. d.-Prof. G. T. Martin.

The Presidents Error.

President Taft seems to imagine that
the popular discomfort with his admin
istration is due to Roosevelt's attacks
upon it. He actually seems to believe
that the popular attitude is miscon-
ception subtly brought about by the
dastardly enmity of Roosevelt. It is
not so. Roosevelt has been bitter, and
perhaps he has stated some things not
quite as they should be; though he hasn't
misrepresented Taft so much as Taft
seems to believe. 1t is not. Roosevelt
whom Taft has to blame for the public
attitude toward his administration, ex-
pressed as it has been with crushing
force at every opportunity given the
people to express themselves. 1t is
Cannon, whom he made speaker and
thus brought about the Payne-Aldrich
bill. It is Aldrich, with whom he ad-
vised and whose leadership hesuccumb-
ed to. It is Ballinger, whose miscon-
duct in public Office he condoned and
supported. It is Secretary Wilson,
whose conduct of the department of
agriculture has made it the tool of
crooked manufacturers threatened by a
sound law in the peoples's interests. It
is Taft himself, who has misjudged the
popular impulses, who has deliberately
associated himself with the special
privilege serving organization of his
party, and who has thereby alienated
from himself the support of all seeing
and thinking patriots. 1t is these men
and the elements in American life they
stand for, who are to blame for the re-
pudiation of the Taft administration
and the republican party by an aroused
and outraged people. It would have
been the same if Roosevelt had stayed
in office. Duluth Herald.

Warm Times From
Now Until Primary
Hanna Followers Viii Use Desperate
Means To Land Him In the Gov
ern0r Chairs

Bowman Citizen: Last Saturday wit
messed great activity in "Stalwart"
circles in Bowman owing to the fact
of Alexander Mckenzie, the old time
political boss of North Dakota having
arrived in the state, and also to the
neaness of the June primaries. Ac-
cording to reports McKenzie's chief
henchman in this section, accompanied
by his lieutenant, made trip to Bis
marck last week and there made obeis-
ance to the old stalwart chieftain and
received his orders for the coming cam
paign. ssTheir return to Bowman was
the signal for the gathering of the
clans last Saturday afternoon. Early
in the morning some of them began to
arrive, and those who were tardy were
brought in with automobiles. Gang
candidates for the different Offices,
state and county, and most of the ed
itors who "wear the collar" without
baking were present, and regular
love feast was held. A star chamber
session which lasted to late hour, dis
cussed such subjects as, How can the
stalwart prestige be restored?'. "Can
Hanna possibly win? and "What the
devil shall we do with the "preacher?'
Itwas generally recognized that the sit
uation is a desperate one and the out
look for stalwart success decidedly
poor. The surprising majority rolled
up for LaFollette at the March primar-
les has shown the strength of the pro-
gressive movement among the voters
of the county, and desperate measures
must be adopted in order to give Hanna
enough votes to demonstrate that a few
of his servile followers vet remain.
Money is to be used lavishly to try and
save the perishing cause and defeat the
will of the people. One of those higf
in the councils of the leaders openly
boasted that they would spend $4,000. on
to defeat certain progressive candi
date for county Office. This can have
only one meaning; namely that no ex.
pense will be spared to carry the count,
and district for 'gang" candidates.

Creamery Pays. Well

Farmers like to see things down in
black and white when he hears Of any
farmer doing well. Here is what q
farmer in Mercer county has done. The
article was published in the Stanton
Republican:
r. N. Mccormack Of Nisbet sold two
hogs in Stanton last, week which
brought him $40. His last months
cream check from the Nisbet Creamery
amounted to $6S. Now what do you
think Of that, Mr.. Wheatraiser? Dol
lars speak louder than words. Mr.. Nc
! Cornack has the proper system Of
farming and his is noteworthy ex-
simple.

Kansas named four delegates at large
to the national convention. Col. Roose-
velt's candidacy for the presidential
nomination was endorsed and the "Big
Four" were instructed to vote for him
from the first ballot to the last. Roose-
welt men completely dominated the
convention.
In concluding his keynote address
Governor Stubbs said:
"The increasing legions of reform
from Maine to California, have risen
up like giant coming out of sleep
and at the opening of another great
battle for the rights of man. have de-
manded the leadership of Americas
greatest popular champion Theodore
Roosevelt"
1--WE are now facing" said the gov
ernor, "a political battle-royal, the
like of which this country has not wit
messed in fifty years. Problems of
greater import than any we have had
to deal with since the Civil war are in
volved in the present campaign.
care we to have a republic for the
classes or for the masses? In this
question is involved one of the greatest
issues of the campaign.
''In the nationwide struggle now
pending there is no place for strag-
gler. He who is not for government
by the people and for the people is for
the political bosses and for the corpora
tions, for this is hand to-hand battle
and there is no middle ground for po-
litical towards to occupy.
$50 far as the people of this state
are concerned we must say for them
here today, that Kansas stands for the
principal that the men and women who
produce the wealth of this country are
not only entitled to but must have their
full share of it.
1.-The nation trusts this leader as no
man has been trusted by the common
people since :he days of Abraham Lin
coln."
