A FATAL LACK
OF FRANKNES&

New York Herald: Mr.. Oil in
his dispatch to- the Herald from
Washington. deals with one as
pect of the strike situation which
throws flood of light on the
present plight in which the adj
ministration finds itself. He
says that the president at the
outset, when he failed to obtain
arbitration, made the mistake OF
not telling the country frankly
that what the railroad men wan
ed was a wsge increase and that
they were entitled to it. Instead
he talked about society," be-
ing in favor of the work day Of
eight hours. The work day of
eight hours had nothing to do
with it. The men wanted an in;
crease of pay of 25 per cent and
the eightlnour day was merely a
cloak for that increase.
Plain dealing with the public
and businessike dealings with
the question Of railroad charges
and railroad rates could easily
have brought a solution. Now
the subject is being made the
football of politics" and
nobody is going to get what is
wanted.
Meantime everybody concern
ed seems to be skulking behind
the constitution. 1t was the
late Timothy j. Campbell who
asked Mr.. Roosevelt, "What Is
the constitution bechune friends.

CORN PROGRESS
DEPENDS ON SEED

Corn progress depends on
seed selection. Corn improve
ment is carried from year to
year in the seed and the kind
Of seed selected determines the
kind Of corn that can be grown
the next year. A day spent in
selecting see.l corn now may
mean a good many more bushels
per acre next year and better
corn too. Corn ripe now will
be easier cured than corn that
ripens later, as the weather now
is better drying weather and
hard frosts are further off. AS
a rule, a person can select bet
ter seed corn than he can buy
ln fact, if one could see some
of the seed corn that is bought
shelled before it was shelled it
would be easy to see that it the
person himself were, selecting 1t
he would make good deal
better selection.
The results secured with
planting any kind Of seed corn
should not be taken as a meas
ure of what can be done with
corn. There is even more diff
ference between different kinds
Of corn and corn grown in dif-
ferent sections than there Is be-
tween scrubs and the different
breeds. of.cattle. And just as the
breeder Of good cattle selects
every individual of his breeding
stock so should the seed corn
ibe well selected each year. What
can be done with corn can only
be measured by what well Sc
lected home grown seed corn
will do.

The Country Editor.

Tf the publisher or editor Of
the great metropolitan paper
would know how the day Of the
country publisher passed, let
him read the following words
from theaOakly (Kan.) Graphic: {:
"This newspaper business is a
great game. just in the midst
+ of an obituary of a dear friend
and when hot tears threaten to
flow down and blot out the word
you write, there breaks through
the office door the radiant face.
|of the daddy Of a new boy. Tears
and Joy siioy mingle i'm the same
and giving and taking
faway of life are recorded on
the page.
"Before you have finished
the obituary the breezy advance
man for a comedy show pops in
and a ks you to write a scream
for his Forty Fat Frolicsome
Fairies and how joyous they are.
Before you have finished with
the kind words about your de-
parted friend, the joy over a
new baby and finished the show
man ad, a fellow sneaks in to
ask to suppress the story of the
fight that he was mixed up in.
Then, putting all the lace and
trimmings on the brides we'd
ding gown, dressing the groom
| in conventional black and start
| ing them off withw congratnla'
tions and best wishes, you turn
again to tear side Of life and
write: But the stately ship NOV
es on to the haven under the
hill, and oh, for touch of van
ished hand and the sound OF q
voice that is still.
"Then comes a lull and the
old typewriter is content to re-
cord the commonplace facts,
knowing that just around the
corner, and each awaiting his
turn, stands Joy, Grief, Sorrow,
Mirth, Sarcasm, Wit and Laugh
ter"
Small wonder, then that the
newspaper man brings to hls
business a devotion that is not
found in any other walk OF life.

One Exception

New York Globe: "We We
come,' said the chairman Of a po.
litical committee in south OF
Ireland city, "to ask you to take
this nomiation. The city needs
a man like you-strong, brave.
self-reliant, owning no master,
fearing no man. y
The, great man was visibly
touched. "I'll not deny" said
he, "that your kind words have
shaken my resolution. l trust
that, if elected, l may justify
your confidence and prove that
/ am, indeed, strong, brave and
self-reliant; that / own no maste
and fear no man. Suppose you
wait a minute till see if my
wife will let me accept.

INDIANS PREDICT
AN OPEN w1NTEE

Prospectors who have returned
to Winnipeg from the Northern
wilds of Manitoba are convince
ed the coming winter will be
mild. They base their belief on on
the following signs observed by
INDIANS in the North:
The oak trees have no accorns
t summer.
Squirrels are seldom seen.
Muskrats have not started t
build.
Fur-b bearing animals have thin
coats.
Bark on poplar trees is loose.
The prospectors declared the
Indians seldom 60 wrong on thei
predictions Of weather.

Major Murphy
Writes About Corn
only survivor Of the Custer fight,
was an Arickaree and not a Crow

only survivor Of the Custer fight,
was an Arickaree and not a Crow
scout, as the histories claim.
The writer placed Curley Head
on his allotment Of land at Fort
Berthold, issued him a farming
outfit and sent his children to
school. Curley died on his farm
at the mouth of the Little Mis-
souri, four years ago.
You speak Of the scientific val
ue of the 'orn raised by those
Indians. The corn is, Of course, Of
the flint variety, and practically
all flint corn grown in the north
west, including the Mercer FLINT
and the Dakota flint, came
from this Missouri river corn.
The Indians had five varieties Of
corn. However, the writer could
see little difference in either
quality or yield between the diff
ferent varities. It was inbred
and illbred and all the. colors Of
the rainbow. Many Of the "me-
dicine men, had a sort of vague
idea that like produced like, al
though there was nothing that
you might call scientific plan
of selection.
Poor Wolf, the greatest mo-
dern philosopher among the Gros
Ventre, who died about 10 years
ago at the age of 90, told the
writer q years ago that as far
back as their recollection went,
or even their tradition-and som
of his "coo sticks'' were 200
years old-there never was a
year that his corn did not ma
ture, even when there was frost
every growing month of the year
This corn has been improved
by selection by Oscar Will OF
Bismarck, who has done wonders
Finthat respect. I have raised 20
bushels to the acre Of this corn.
It is not good ensilage corn, as
the leaves are sparse and grows
Iahaut five fset high, but it is g,
wonde deifuul proc ducer. If the farm
Iers Of the northwest would only
pay more attention to the raising
Of this corn they certainly would
be more prosperous.
Rev. DIR. Wilson, who inspired
your editorial, has done some
valuable work among the Indians
with whom he has spent many

ed in Indian history and folk
lore should read DIR. Wilson g lit

dian.' 1t is we'll written, inter
