SAGE! &c NOT A CANDIDATE
Refuses. to File. for Governor Of Min
res.ta a.! Tells Why.

Senator Gle Eageng, the man be-
hind the p!cw," will not file for the
Progressive nomination for governor
Of Minnesota. He made this announce.
ment in statement he made pub.
lie at Fergus Falls. His reason,
kriefly. is that he wishes primarily to
contribute to the defeat of the brew
cry and saloon interests of the state,
which, he says, will continue their
domination in the event that either
5cve-ncr Eberhart is reelected or a
Democratic governor is chosen.
The only hope of defeating the
liquor interests, Mr.. Sageng believes
is in the nomination of William f.
Lee of Long Prairie on the Republic
IN ticket. Hence, in order to further
the cause of Lee, Senator Sageng will
rot file, lest his candidacy might de-
tract from the interest in the race OF
he Long Prairie aspirant.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN NOTES

Plan a good flower garden from
which flowers may be cut this sum-
mer. Order the seed now.
Try topworking few apple or plum,
trees. The work is interesting but not
very hard.
Melons and curcumbers may be-
started in hotbeds in berry boxes, OF
ON squares Of sod, by the middle Of
April.
Plant more berry-producing shrubs
about the home for ornamental pur-
poses. Some are useful for both food
and ornamentation.
A few currant bushes ought to be in
every garden. White Grape is the
best white; Perfection and Red Cross
are good red; and Lees Prolific is a.
good black variety.

how, it is not safe as long as Con-
gress turns all the money over to
the National Banks. Congress let
them have all the money with no
limit as to what they charge or as to
whether they let it go at all or not.
When Congress sent a committee to
the New York Banks to see if the
banks would let them lend the cotton
grower money until he could find a
market for his cotton, law makers
on their knees to the hank beg
ging for farmers, [ have ha dno re-
spect for the party. But the banks
object and informs them saying, IF
you do we must have "a the ISSUE"
I knew the South was gone then.
Congress just as we'll give a hungry
SOW bowl of buttermilk and ask her
to save some for the igs as to turn
the whole volume Of money to the
banks and say be merCifuI to all the
people. When the war came on with
nations now engaged the New York
banks were in debt to England and
they could not raise the gold. So
English capitalists agreed to take cot
ton as gold, and that is exactly the
reason cotton has no price. 1t is not
that there is too much, not that the
war is in the way so much. | recall
that there never was more calls for
export cotton at this season of the
year.
Well what is the matter? The
present financial system. Plant what
you may, work as you may, econo-
mize as you may, the National Bank
can strip the farm any year of it's
proceeds, if Congress gives them all
the money by bonding and others to
push collections. The only remedy
is to kill the system at the polls by
leaving out both old parties.

contract, and he has abused the trust
and confidence Of those who nomi-
mated him.
Now who gave Judge Reagan and
the Atlanta Journal the right to de-
eide these things for themselves?
You say it was natural right. Then
why haven't we the right to decide
whether we are in conscience bound
to support the nomination of Smith
and HardWick? If we have then it
is moral question for each man to
decide for himself. This being true
what right has Judge Reagan to say
unless you support the nominees you
will be DISTINGUISHED? If our con-
sciences say we are not bound be-
cause Hardwick stole his nomination
and Smith was accomplice to the
theft, what right has Judge Reagan
to force us to obey his conscience
CD rather than our own? The only
answer is that whether a nominal
ton is binding or not is purely a
question of morals for every man to
decide for himself and to act upon
accordingly. Every man is his own
judge and his own mind the tri-
bunal
Fortunately the law settles it as
to who is entitled to vote and re-
moves the right from the Judges
WouId-be control. But this is
enough to show what this crowd of
jackasses would do were they vested
with authority to fix the status Of
suffrage. We should have a few
cars proclaiming their heads to be
creased with the divine petroleum Of
authority, ruling over us in a man
ner that would make the car OF
Russia feel like a ten-cent Xmas
toy.
If the people had a chance at that
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. combination
about now, out in the open with no
badgering threats to hamper their
wills, they would register a vote that
would settle in unmistakable langu-
age who the real rulers of this coun-
try are. Their machine would meet
the fate, at the hands of the people,
CT the one-horse shay when all parts
wore out beyond repair at once.

to save themselves from bankruptcy
in the midst Of good seasons and

crops. Well we have done that in
this country, but can't sell either.
Why? No money. There is nothing
grown more universally needed than
cotton. Imagine half the cotton belt
planted in feed stuff, you could not
get enough for it to pay for housing.
Can't sell what We have to spare. The
cause is elsewhere. Let us look for

HERE'S SOME MORE ABOUT THAT
BUY-A-BALE COMMITTEE OF
TEL. Y. McCORD'S.

TEL. Y. McCORD'S.
Dear Sir: | am constant reader
of your paper, though not subscri-
Der, as | have never subscribed for
it, but we buy one every week in At
lanta. | So you are right after the
"Buy-a-Bale" Committee here in At
lanta. I, also have tried to find some
farmer who got in cash from this
committee, ten cents per pound for
cotton, but have not found them yet.
This is my experience with them. I
live six miles from Atlanta on lit
tie farm, and rent some land near me
to make cotton. l went to see the
buy-a-bale committee, to sell to them
one bale for my sons who were really
in hard circumstances. They had
notice on the door the day l went
there, No cotton bought today"
insisted, however, on seing the Office
man, who finally told me they had
three hundred bales in the ware
house with no buyers, and they
would have to get people to buy that
before they could take any more.
There were several wagons on the
streets loaded with cotton waiting
to see the committee to sell to them,
but they actually refused to talk to
them about it That is the kind of
good Christian gentlemen who had
had charge Of the funds turned over
to them The mystery to me was,
how came three hundred bales of
cotton in the warehouse without any
buyers. Of course they know, we
don't. Itried to make arrangements
to see them later, to sell to them,
but they gave me no encouragement
whatever. So we finally sold part Of
the cotton at seven and a quarter
cents, yet the papers make big
howl about helping the farmer with
the "Buy-aBale" movement. Where
the help has come in / haven't been
able to see yet.
[ wish I could express my feelings
and thoughts, in words like you can,
I would be glad to go deep down in
this matter, but being a man of very
limited education | can't express my
self as l would like to, but hope you
may give it to them hot and heavy
until we find some one who has &C
tually got ten cents in cash for their
cotton.
sure did appreciate your pieces
on the Frank case, I don't think any
man ever had fairer trial than he
had. All his little pleas are that he
was convicted on Jim Conley's testi-
mony. Now I read every word of
the testimony as given by the Atlanta
papers, and I think there was ample
evidence produced sufficient, without
Conley's to convict him of the crime,
and all the courts seem to think the
same thing. Now the matter seems
to be at an end, unless the pardon
board and the Governor should inter-
fere. I don't see how they could go
contrary to all the courts with such
testimony as was. produced in the
trial of Frank.
Wishing you much success and a
long life to continue the good fight
you are making, I am,
Very truly yours,
&c. J. D. WALLACE.
