The Dahnke-Walker Milling Co.
bought this week two lots Of wheat
grown as sample by Mr.. Hopper, Of
Rutherford. The two samples were
cultivated side by side under different
methods in order to demonstrate the adj
vantages Of either 0none deep tillage
was used and the other was grown in the
usual way. The result was that the
deep tillage wheat made so bushels to
the acre and weighed 81 pounds, while
the other wheat made only 16 bushels
to the acre and weighed only So pounds
1t was a fair test every way. Both sam
pies Of wheat were grown on exactly the
same kind OF land. They were both
carefully cultivated under the different
processes, and the test showed con-
cIusively that deep tiIlage was RESPONSE
BILE for the difference.

Come into my parler, said the spider
to the fly, and the independents took
the bait, hook and all. Well, it'll all
come out in the wash anyway, What's
the diff. One side or the other seems
bent on taking advantage, and as far
as the public is concerned there is very
little difference. The lawmakers are
afraid OF the people. n the right thing
was done the elective machinery would
be placed in The hands Of the people
where it belongsthe counties would
elect their own election commissioners.
This was the campaign slogan in Pat
terson's first race for Governor Il was
an honest pledge and the people be-
lieved him. But he turned turtle and
so have the members Of both factions
ID the Legislature since then refused to
recognize the popular will. There will
never be any satisfaction ia Tennessee
politics until the people control their
own affairs. It must come and will
come some day.

II seems rather strange that the reg
ulars ia State politics should be the
independents in National politics, and
vice versa. Quite number Of the reg
ulars in theslast Gubernatorial campaign
we're reported to be boosting the Bull
Moose candidate for President. Any
way there seems to be a number Of
them who believe Ia protective tariff.

Iieyes in tariff for revenue only--n0t
simply in the platform, but applicable
to real conditions When it comes to.
assessing duties for the purpose Of pay
ing not only fabulous sums in salaries
but in actually recognizing and pro-
noting Doodle and graft then the tariff
is nothing more nor less than a corrup-
ton fund. 1t is then properly called
the robber tariff. The Democrat who
believes in this sort OF stuff is queer
sort OF a mixture. Years before the war
Democrats were known as Republicans.
The opposition were Federalists The
present Republican party did not exist.
The name Of Democrat was then used
to ridicule Republicans with. II this
were SO to-day the so-called high-tariH
Democrats would uncover mighty quick.
They would come out in the open and
acknowledge Republican allegiance
where they belong And so it will be
in a few years. The old lines will be
forgotten. AS for US Jeffersonian De-
Democracy. the genuine brand, doesn't
look any worse now than it ever did.
The tariff wall must be reduced and
special privilege denied. It must be
done either with peaceful revolution or
with red-handed revolt.

The second of these excursions on

Tuesday. Tomorrow the North road
train will be held until $50 o'clock.
This schedule will be used again on
the twenty-third.
Unfortunately the excursion was
delayed in getting into Keokuk today
by two hours. Failure to get water at
Mount Zion and the necessity to run
back into the Keosauqua loop is CIV
en- as the reason for the delay. 1t is
hoped by the merchants that this will
not occur on the second trip. 1t was
unfortunate that it occurred on this
excursion.
However, the crowd which made the
trip from Eldon to this city had plenty
of time in the afternoon to shop, and
to see the dam. The train arrived at
1905 o'clock, and the shoppers were
soon on Main street.
The members OF the Retail Mer-
chants Association had made extra
PLANS for the handling Of the trade
today. The windows were in excel
lent shape and displayed goods to the
best advantage. The windows alone
iproved great incentive to the buy
ers.
The second OF these excursions will

Der of the people were from Eldon

The train on the North road will be
