The high handed reign of the /.
w. WIS in this state was rather
short lived. at Redfeld last
Thursday a band of 200 "indepen.
dents attacked a band of 900 /. w.
WIS. and a pitched battle was
fought in which three of the latter
were wounded. Special deputies
numbering $50 citizens of Redield
appeared on the scene and both
squads were shipped out of town.
At Mitchell Friday morning a com.
pany of ESQ I. W. WIS attempted
to terrorize about fifty independ.
ents and the latter called for po.
lice protection. The fire alarm
brought out the citizens and the
l. W. VS. were rounded up and
disarmed. A squad of special po-
lice have since been meeting the
harvest hands as they arrive on the
trains and are disarming them.
They are worthless bunch and
the members of that order should
be taught such a lesson that they
will not show up here another year.

The editor of the Yankton Her.
aid visited camp of I. W. WIS
and was fortunate enough to get
possession of a book containing
their preamble and constitution.
Here are a few choice passages:
"The working class and the en-.
ploying class have nothing in com.
mon. There can be no peace 80
long as hunger and want are found
among millions of working people
and the few, who make up the en-.
ploying class have all the good
things of life.
Between these two classes a
struggle must go on until the work.
ers of the world organize as a class
take possession of the earth and
the machinery of production and
abolish the wage system.
Instead of the conservative motto
"A fair days wage for fair days
work. we must inscribe on our
banner the voluntary watchword,
Abolition of the wage system
It's the historical mission of the
working class to do away with cap.
italism. The army of production
must organize, not only for the ev.
cry day struggle with capitalists,
but to carry on production when
capitalism is overthrown. Organ.
izing industrially, we are forming
the structure of the new society" "
The avowed purpose of the order
this year is to take possession of
the harvest fields of Kansas, Ne
braska and the Dakotas 80 that in
the future no one except a member
of their order can get employment.
The reception that they are Ireceiv.

for their boasted ambition, for in
many localities they are being driv.

"The birds in America are not
so plentiful, and we need all the
worm destroyers and weed seed
eaters that we can get. This is
why we need to protect the birds.
In nearly all the northern states
the birds are protected by law.
Most birds eat many small insects
every day and many of the birds
live on the seeds of weeds. The
birds not only do good by destroy
ing insects and seeds, but they
make the world brighter by their
singing and their bright colors in
the trees. The people of Americs,
are beginning a war on the English
sparrow, because of its habits of
destroying the nests of song birds
and other small birds. The peo.

EDITORIAL COMMENT

The Farm Loan Act recently
passed by congress provides for
two methods Of making farm loans,
one through federal land banks,
and the other through joint-stock
land banks. Both are under the
direction of the Federal Farm Loan
Board, consisting of the secretary
of the treasury and four members
to be appointed by the president.
The country is to be divided into
twelve districts each having a fed.
eral loan bank. Local loan asso.
Citations may be formed through
which the federal banks will make
loans, and in case these associa.
tions are not formed within u year
the Federal Board may make loans
through approved local agents.
The amount of loan is limited to
5096 of the value of the land and
209oof the permanent improve.

to 40 years, and interest can not
exceed six per cent. Payments
are made under the amortization

interest on unpaid balance, so that

piration. The plan seems to be
safe and conservative, and will un.
doubtedly prove beneficial to those
least in need of it. The farmer
who has struggled through the
most trying period of his life and
has his farm half paid for, can get
loan at perhaps a lower rate of
interest for the balance, but the
young man who wishes to buy a
farm aud has but a limited amount
to pay down must still get his ac-
commodations from local banks.
Then again, some of the heaviest
borrowers are farmers who use
money to buy feeders to consume
their grain. Such loans usually
run only four to six months, and
it would be cheaper for him to pay
eight per cent for this short time
than to take long time loan at
five per cent annual interest. The
new system may prove of some ad-
vantage, but il has not yet solved
the loan problem for the farm or.

Human beings TO me are like rocks There in

character all Its own. But as that broken

loses Its rugged characteristics. 1t becomes like
millions OF other rocks. The others are all
round and smoothly polished.
The people of tine East Side TO mo arc like
