WoodroW IS qulte precedent slnasn-
er and the country likes him for it..
There are some politicians who think
the real purposes of party organiza-
tions and victories are to hand out
plums, but such men as Woodrow
Wilson know better and they are
not to be swerved from conserva-
tive course by the threat of being
swatted by some candidates who may
think the offices are mighty slow in
coming across.
Iowa Falls has just completed its
forty thousand dollar job of paving
and is. we'll pleased with the i'm
provement. The council of that
hustling little city evidently be-
lieves in a square deal in paving,
and paid for street intersections
from the general fund, the sum be-
ing for that expense $9,626.SS, or
nearly one-fourth of the total. In
nearly all the smaller towns of the
state the intersections are paid by
all the taxpayers, as they should be.
But Webster City doesn't do it that
way.
Yes, Hon. Frank P. Woods, as
chairman Of the republican state
committee in 1909, led the party to
victory But any chairman would
have done the same. Glib Pray also
led it to victory and so did all the
other chairmen with one or two ex-
ceptions. But the situation is now
different and Mr.. Woods will soon
realize that it is one thing to win
when the winning is sure and easy
and another thing to win when de-
feat is almost certain. An ordinary
general can win battles when every
thing is in his favor. but it requires
real ability to win when the odds
are all upon the side OF the enemy.
Every democrat in the senate vot-
ed against extending the civil SER
vice the other day when it was pro-
posed to include income tax collect
ors. Democrats are fiercely in favor
of civil service reform when they are
not in position to grant it, but just
as soon as they can make 1t effect
I'VE they turn tail and vote against
the thing they have advocated for
years. Verify, the democratic party
is still the party of pelf as it was
in the days Of Andrew Jackson. The
people are taking note, too. of the
way the leaders in Washington are
opposing principles which they ad-
vocated before they were clothed
with authority.
Boone county held a special elec-
tion Tuesday for the purpose Of vot-
ing upon the proposition to issue
100000 worth of bonds for the
erection Of new court house, and
the bonds carried by vote of near

before the voters to
change the site OF the court house to
a more central location in the bust
ness districts OF the city Of Boone.
This was defeated By vote as de-
cisive as that which carried the
bond issue. Hamilton county will
be confronted before many years
with court house problem and the
people will probably be, asked to de-
termine whether they want a new
court house or whether they prefer
that the present building be over

to ability to pay, upon the very poor
than upon the very rich. The Free
man-Tribune believes the principle
of an income tax is sound and that
the policy in operation will fully JUS

Senator Root is not representing the

What's that? Are we to under
stand, then, that Woodrow Wilson
Is to be a candidate for reelection
in face of the resolution in the dem

elected demanding but one term for
presidents? Possibly that resolution
should be amended to read, 1--WE are
opposed to more than one term for
presidents, except for democratic
presidents That would really
voice the sentiment of the party as
whole. The party has long insist
ed that frequent changes in party
administrations are desirable, except
in the administrations of democratic
states. OF course, that's different
No matter what kind Of cur
rency bill Senator Aldrich might
have advocated the country would
have looked upon it with suspicion
and it would be charged that Wall
street was backing it. This is be-
cause the senator has been the life
long friend and trusted servant OF
special interests. Anything that he
might advocate could not be consid-
cred by the people free from prepu-
dice and suspicion. But the coun-
try has great confidence In the wis
dom and integrity Of President viii
son and the public generally believes
he is trying to do what is best for
everybody. Hence the measures he
advocates receive at least careful
consideration and are approached by
the public with open minds. This Is
due to reputation. The Wilson rep
utation is good while the Aldrich

Senator Root, Of course, comes to
the defense Of the New York mil
lionaires and protests against his
state paying such a large proportion
OF that tax. The only answer nec-
essary Is that more rich men reside
in New York than in any other
state. The law, Of course, Is not re-
sponsible for that. The senator also
pats his state upon the back and de-
clares that New York supported the
income tax amendment to the consti-
tuition because the people of his state
thought the other states would be
fair, the inference being that they
are unfair. However, it is not likely
that more than one per cent of the
people of New York will be reQuir-
ed to pay the income tax, as the very
rich men subject to that tax are not
great in number compared with the
entire population. The ninety-nine
per cent who do not pay the tax,
elected the legislature that ratified
the constitutional amendment and
the rich men are entitled to no cred

are constitutional tax-dodgers and If

CROP OUTLOOK OPTIMISTIC
Redwood County Farmers May Look
Forward to Another Bumper
Crop Say The Signs

In spite of the cool weather which
has had somewhat of tendency to
retard corn planting in the southern
section of Minnesota, the farmers
generally are about even with their
spring work. The prospects of an
other bumper crop are exceedingly
optimistic if one is to draw anv con-
clusion from the encouraging reports
which the farmers who come to Red
wood Falls circulate The cool wea-
Their which has slightly delayed corn
planting is giving all small grain an
excellent start and many farmers who
are considered authority on matters
of this nature say, "That wheat es-
pecially is stooling most wonderful
~" This fact, added with the ample
moisture which is so prevalent all
over this section of the state is quite
sufficient to justify this optimistic

With Spring comes the smell OF
burning rubbish, old shoes and over
ripe vegetables. The old cow looks
with yearning and watering mouth
at the growing grass while the vet
eran hen sings her annual roundelay.
In the evening the fragrance Of the
fruit blossom is smothered out by the
odor of some neighbor burning refuse
piles. The egg of cold storage tradi-
ton comes forth into the market at
price where it can be reached with
the family step ladder, and all nature
seems tickled.
There are four seasons but we all
love Spring the most 1t is then that
the green grass and the white dresses
come forth, also the high school grad
uate, the pesky fly and other pests.
The little robin twitters in the trees
and the horny handed farmer goes
forth to till the fields.
Yes, we all love the moist and fra
grant spring. 1t is then that the
waves of sunlight beating down
awakens thoughts of the straw hat we
discarded last year, while poor old
Dad beats upon the front room car
pet. In addition to this misfortune
the lawn shows signs of velvet and
the lawn mower begins to warm it's
joints and get ready for the approach
ing harvest.
The blue jay fills the morning air
with his classical and extremely sad
melody and the coal man crawls out
Of his hole and files a bill for that
last ton of coal.
At meal times comes the joyous
news that Mother has her lamps spot
ted on new lid, sister needs a new
dress, Bobby wants hair cut and it's
time to pay the poll tax.
Anon the black bird alights to feast
on newly planted corn, and Willie
digs up the garden for an hour to get
handful of angle worms. He'd whine
and kick like blazes if he had to spade
five minutes for a place to plant
onions and lettuce.
Father has a peach of a snow
shovel that he would like to swap for
second handed hammock, the honey
bee heats his business end with
spirit lamp and goes forth searching
for the man in thin pants, while the
lightning rod man alights on the
farmer with great joy and new rod
that can gather up all the electrical
juice in the heavens and place it in
two gallon jar for future use.

feeling among the farmers and bust
ness men.
Authentic reports from New York
bankers, big millers and other relia-
BILE sources say that the most encour-
aging feature in the business outlook
is the excellent crop prospects. From
nearly all parts of the country come
advices stating that the soil has had
abundant moisture and that all the
crops promise splendid start under
most favorable conditions.
"Should present crop expectations
be realized, there is no question but
that they will largely offset depress-
ing tendencies in business affairs, es-
pecially when the tariff is out of the
way" says big New York city bank
er.
In recent report published by the
immigration department concerning
crop conditions in Minnesota, thirty
nine counties, including Redwood,
showed up unusually well. The re-
port says that farm reports received
by the state department of immigra-
ton the past ten days indicate an
other bumper crop for Minnesota.
The thirty-nine counties that have
been heard from report all seeding
done or nearly SO, and that corn plant
ing had started in many sections.
A Redwood county farmer who very
recently returned from visit to Hi
nois says that crop conditions gener-
ally, back there are behind what they
are in this county. This man came to
Redwood few years ago from Hi
nois and bought land. 1t is his opin-
ion that farm land in this section
equals or beats any thing to be found
in the Northwest.
All vegetable growth is unusually
promising this. spring. Fruit for in
stance never looked better. The
blossoms are profuse and thicker than
ever. Apple orchards, cherry and
plum trees, in fact every kind of fruit
tree, and berry bush is literally load
ed with blossoms. All that is needed
to insure an unprecedented fruit
crop is absence of frost, and this pos
sibility is not grave. Some of the
older settlers can recall frost and cold
weather as late as this, but it is ex-
ceedingly unusual.
If the history of the potato market
counts for any thing, and if what
many of the older potato growers say
is to be taken seriously, this will be an
excellent year to raise spuds.
They say and their assertions are
backed up with reliable facts, that
the year following a bumper potato
crop and when they have been as
cheap as they were this year, is the
time to plant them again. Many are
using more ground for potatoes this
year than last. A prosperous potato
grower from Renville county who Wis
tied Redwood Falls a few days ago
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1913-05-20

said that indications are very bright
for good crop this year. He also
expressed his opinion that they would
reach a much higher price next win
ter. He said that he took for his
basis the history of potato crops and
subsequent prices.
All, in all, the Redwood county
farmer can safely feel that he is not
behind in his crops compared with
crops in other sections of the country
and that the signs of a bountiful
yield are very bright.

EMBYONIC HUMORIST TALKS GLIBLY
UPON SUBJECT OF "SPRING SEASON

Spring is now here. 1t has been
here before, but perhaps not SO much
so as it is this year. In spring the
buds swell up and bust, the wild flow
ers bloom once more, and Dad takes
off the storm windows and puts up
the screen door.
It's quite joke, this business of
hauling out the fly screens from their
long seclusion in the barn. In the
first place a fellow tries to find them
in the cleaning of the barn loft. He
also finds the rafters with his head
and all the rusty nails with the seat
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1913-05-20

of his pants.
And then comes the annual argu-
ment with the "Landlady," some of
the rusty screens need recovering, but
she kicks because she has spent too
much money already.
When Dad comes down with the
screens he brings three or four intel
lectual faculties sticking out on his
brow and looks like Pat did when he
returned from the Wake and met his
wife armed with a rolling pin at the
back door. The nobs on his noodle
look like warts on a pumpkin.
