ABUSE OF Mr.. PERKINS.

We were surprised on reading the
eulogies pronounced upon George d.
Perkins, late editor of the Sioux City
Journal, to find that SO many people
who have abused him during his life
time are now using SO much space in
telling of his good qualities and the
good for which he stood. A large ele'
ment of the republican party who have
been sailing under the name of pro,
gressives spent good portion OF their
time abusing Mr.. Perkins because he
was a regular in politics and stood
for the principles of the party as adj
vocatel by Abraham Lincoln and the
great leaders of the party since his
day. Perkins was abused because he
was believed to be too conservative
and because he did not rise to the oc-
casion and agitate in favor of radi-
cal reforms in his party. While Mr..
Perkins believed in progressive re-
publicsnisnl, he was never influenced
in what he said or what he did by the
thought of having himself advanced
politically. What he did he did for
the benefit of the party as he under
stood it and not to disrupt it in order
to secure for himself political prefer
ment. In other words. Mr.. Perkins
was true to his trust and true to the
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1914-02-18

interests of the party to which he be-
onged. He was not one Of those who
could say while he loved the republi-
can party he would not care to lie for
it as another prominent republican
said and the reason he did not say
it was because he did not believe it
was necessary to say it. He saw moth
ing in the record of the republican
party to cause him to believe that 1t
had anything in it's history to be COW
cred up or anything in it's purposes to
justify maneuvering on the part OF
any of its members.
He loved the republican party be-
cause it represented his views and be-
cause of what it had accomplished for
the good Of the public, and entertain
ing this feeling he defended it as be
comes the duty of every loyal repub
lican.

DEMOCRATS IN ILLINOIS.

The breach in the democratic party
in Illinois has recently become wild
ened since the Sullivan wing of the
party has shown disposition to be
come a factor in politics OF that state
by pushing Sullivan forward as can
didate for for United States senate. w
j. Bryan who for years has looked
upon Mr.. Sullivan as an undesirable
citizen, has come out in his paper. the
Commoner, with a brOadside against
him, which no doubt will bring a re
jonder from Mr.. Sullivan quite as sen
sational as the Bryan Indictment.
Mr.. Bryan fiatters himself that he
stands for a higher grade of morality
than MI Sullivan and that Mr.. Sulli
van is unfit to claim the support Of
the democratic party. Sullivan, how
ever, seems to be able to command
the support of large faction, if moi
O. majority of the democrats in his
state and to swing the people in his
favor at conventions and other meet
ings OF the democratic party in the
state.
II Mr.. Bryan has not the consent OF
the administration in favor of the
course which he is pursuing, he GER
tainiy is taking some chance of caus
ing Mr.. Wilson an endless amount Of
trouble, because the breach will not
be confined to the state of Illinois
alone, but will spread to other sec
tions of the country.
Mr.. Bryan will discover that the
democratic party of Illinois is not q
church organization, but is purely pc
liticai and has no higher purpose in
view than success, and while his zeal
for lifting the party up to a higher
plane of morality may be commend
able, We doubt if he will be able to I'M
press the rank and file of the party
with a desire to accomplish anything
higher than to seek the offices and the
salaries incident thereto.

it amounts to cents, while the harm
on account of the Wilson tariff law is
variously estimated to the extent OF
dollars for each acre of land. 1t is

We predict that it will be but
short time until the capitol extension
proposition will be forgotten and the
live question will be how to escape
the effects Of the free trade tariff law
which change of administration has
brought about.
The stockmen are complaining bit
terly of the importations OF cattle
from Argentine, Mexico and other for
eign countries where cattle are pro-
duced. The farmers are finding that
the crops raised in foreign countries
are coming in competition with the
crops raised in this country. The eff
feet is seen in the reduction of prices
and will be felt much more as the eX-
these importations is found in the re-
moval of tariff duties which in the
past has kept out the foreign produc-
lions. The laboring men in this coun-
try are finding themselves out of en-
ployment because foreign made goods,
which were kept out of this country
by the tariff laws which have pre-
vailed in the past, are now finding
their way into the market places here.
which means that foreign laborers now
have the jobs which belong to the
American aborer.
The farmers in Iowa and the labor
ing men are coming to realize that I'M
der the new tariff law their prosper
ity is threatened and when the full Ell
fects of it are seen they will better
understand the harm which will come
to them on account of the Wilson tar
if law, and not because of the ex-
tension of the capitol grounds.

CHEAPER LAND OPPORTUNITIES

There are better opportunities
for people living on cheaper lands
than those in this county to
make a better rate of interest
on the investment than here. We
think land in Crawford county is
worth all it is selling for, but
the value is not to be determined
alone upon the amount of rental, but
upon the surroundings generally and
the comfort afforded one in living
here.
There are sections of the country
where lands can be bought for one
fifth or one-siXth what lands are sell
ing for here, the productiveness OF
which may be equal to that of the
lands in this county. We sometimes
drift into a state OF mind where we
find ourselves sympathizing with the
people living west of US, in Dakota,
Nebraska and Kansas, because they
are living on cheaper lands and we
naturally reach the conclusion that
their income is less than ours without
giving consideration to the fact that
their income from rentals may be
even more than from the lands here.
The writer received a letter one
day last week from gentleman by
the name of J. w. Hashman, whose
post Office address is Alliance, Neb.,
but whose land lies in the vicinity of
twelve or fourteen miles west of that
city. The following is a statement
made by him in the letter:
81 dug 1900 bushels of potatoes from
that patch of 81 acres where was at
work when you were here; an aver
age of 62 bushels to the acre, and the
driest year | ever saw. Nine weeks
without rain. Thirty-four dollars an
acre-twice what the land is worth
is pretty good rental. left out some
and hauled them off last fall at SIS
cents per bushel."
We do not recall hearing of any
farmer in Crawford county producing
a crop that meant rental of $4,000
per acre. and yet this farmer in Box
Butte county, Nebraska, finds that
raising potatoes is a profitable indus
try and one that will insure large
rental any year. whether dry or 9TH
erwise. The prospects for a great
crop this year are flattering, mas
much as snow commenced falling as
early as the beginning of December
and is still on the ground, which
means an abundance of moisture for
the ground this spring.
Mr.. Hashman makes the statement
that he did most of the work himself
of raising and caring for his potatoes,
and therefore received the profits him
self.

AS REGARDS THE TARIFF.

The Harlan Republican has made
the discovery that the injury to the
farmers of the state on account OF the
extension of the capitol grounds and
the purchase of additional lands for
this purpose as provided by the last
legislature is insignificant compared
with the harm which comes to them
on account of the passage of the Will
son tariff law.

ADDRESS ON LINCOLN.

Wednesday afternoon the high
school students had the pleasure of
listening to an address by Mr.. Kuehnle
on the life and public services OF
Abraham Lincoln. The speaker con-
trasted the lives of George Washing
ton and Abraham Lincoln. He said
that Washington was an aristocrat OF
great wealth and dignity and enjoyed
distinction in social way, while Alb
raham Lincoln was humble in birth
and in spirit, he belonged to the COM
mon people and made no pretentions
in social way. In two respects,
however, he found these great char
acters alike; mentally and physically
they were both commanding figures.
He traced the life of Lincoln from his
birth to manhood and was able to
show that he was emphatically a self
made man, without family prestige or
social and educational opportunities.
He developed into one of the greatest
characters of his generation. One OF
the strong characteristics Of Mr.. Lin
coin was his honesty and fairness.
The success of his competitors never
brought envy Or jealousy to Mr.. Lin
coins mind. The success Of another
only furnished an inspiration for him
self and spurred him to greater effort.
His ambition was to master whatever
he undertook and he lived to see his
efforts rewarded.
There is no doubt but what Mr.
Kuehnles remarks were thoroughly
enjoyed by the high school students
and they should find in what he said
food for reflection and encouragement
to believe that the success which at,
tended Mr.. Lincolns efforts will come
to them, if they but devote themselves
to mastering the problems which may
arise in their career But for want OF
space we would be glad to publish the
remarks in full.
