The democrats should be the last ‘to feel sorry about such a move as that. A soft pedal platform is not a bad name for the variety of “‘planks” put together representing that, for which Minnesota democracy stands. It'sa handicap for every democratic nomi- nee, and only one man in'the lot is wise enough to keep out of the race. Moses E. Clapp, Minnesota’s insurgent senator, was a Madison guest last evening. Senator Clapp registered at the Avenue and left this morning for Platteville, where he will take the place of Senator LaFollette at the Platteville chautauqua. It is not known whether he had a conference with any of the local political leaders or not.—Wisconsin State Journal. BACK TO THE FARM MOVEMENT. In every city there isa large percentage of people who have tasted discouragements of heavy living expenses in the big centers and who are considering returning to farm life again under the new conditions which have brightened that occupation since earlier years when they were induced to forsake it. The pendulum is swinging in the other direction now, and this early it can be predicted with con- fidence that another census ten years from now will show an op- posite condition from the present one, INSURGENT’S FIGHT A FRIENDLY ONE. Neither factional strife.nor bitter- ness has been desired by the. insur- gents. It isnot true that they would father see democrats elected in November than regular. republicans. I myself expect to_assist several of my friends among, the regulars: dur- ing the campaign, but no one: could expect the insurgents to assist the extreme men among the regulars who have tried to read them out of the party.. Theit fight, as it was be- gun, was entirely a friendly one: But it soon: became appaient that the waonderful power of the machine, headed by the Speaker, was: to be turned upon:them in:an effort: to.an- nihilate them and ' deprive. them ( of all influence. for a principle thatis fundamental if we are to retain: representative government-in the House. of . Repre- sentatives.—Representative George Norris/in the August Metropolitan; Magazine. - . : THE OBSERVING FARMER AND THE DRY SEASON. The dry weather of the present season should |;rove a blessing in the future to those farmers who are observing. They will notice that the crops in fields that were well tilled are yielding much larger re- turns than those raised on ground inadequately cultivated. Anyfarmer who has not noted that fact will do well to take the timeto size up the fields in his vicinity. He will not fail to see the advantage of better farming methods. He will realize then how it is possible to raise bum- per crops in the so-called dry farm- ing areas where the precipitation averages not more than one-half that recorded in Minnesota. There is no method of farming, of course, that will make up tor complete lack of moisture. Itis possible to have so little precipi- tation that no amount of tilling will produce a crop, but there is no danger of such in Minnesota Neither is there a farm is the state that has not had enough snow and rain to moisture a good crop, had all of it been conserved. The fields best tilled have come nearest to conserving the moisture available, and consequently have produced the best crops, The same result is true in years aftording an abund- ance of rain as well as in dry ‘sea- sons, although the comparison is more noticable at a time like the present when the neglected acres produce little or nothing. The farmers of Minnesota well may afford to forego the profit they expected and did not get this year, provided they are made to realize the importance of thorough cultiva. tion. If those whose crops are lightest will attempt to follow or to improve upon the methods of his neighbor who has the best yield, the lesson will be cheap at the price paid for it. For better methods will mean larger returns not only next year but every year that will more than compensate for the loss imposed by dry weather and indifferent till- age this year.—Ex. | BY THE WAY | Trying to fool folks is a business that does not pay dividends. The man who can stand the smell of an old pipe ought to be able to endure his wife nagging him. If a man were not an insurgent, he might lack being counted at all. People with poor teeth should par- ticlpate in a personally conducted tour of a sausage factory. THIRTY THOUSAN\D T0 GO OUT Negotiations Between Miners and Op- erators Ended. Kansas City, Aug. 3.—Negotiations hetwe@n miners and coal operators of the Southwestern territory, which have dragged along over a perfod of four months, have been brought to an end. A general strike order will be issued Immediately, according to George Manuel, secretary of the Mis- souri district, and 30,000 or more min- ers who have not worked since the expiration of the old contract, April 1, will be formally on strike.

Philadelphia, Aug. 3.—A naval board headed by Rear Admiral Thomas has begun the task at the local navyyard of passing upon the fate of three cruisers which but a few years ago were the undisputed leaders in- their classes. The vessels are the armored cruisers Brooklyn and the protected cruisers Columbia and Minneapolis, built as the commerce destroyers of the navy. The three cost over $8,500,- 000, exclusive of their armament. The Columbia and Minneapolis are in dan- ger of being consigned to the junk piles. The Brooklyn, Admiral Schley’s flagship in the Spanish-American war, the vessel which played an active part at the battle of Santiago, is in" better shape and is likely to be ordered over- hauled and modernized.

SAYS HE FAYGRS REVISION Laurier Promises Gradual Reduction of Duties;, but Declares Free Trade Is Impossible—Also Advocates Reci- Procity With the United States if Fair Treatment Is Offered Canada: Regina, Sask., Aug. 3—All over the | West Sir Wiltrid: Laurler, the Domin- fon premier, is being met in his tour by farmers making demands for re duction of tariff, especially on:. farm implements from the United States. This" fact seems to be especially brominent in the demands of the Grain Growers’ association. Promi- next Liberals tell Laurier boldly that no member of parliament will be re- turned from the ‘West until he makes concessions on;the: tariff. At Regina in reply to these demands, Sir Wil- frid said: “I recognize that it would be: impos- sible at one full sweep to dispose of the tariff. Changes must be gradual. If you tried to abolish it at once, how- -ever oppressive it might-be; the result would be to create such a disturbance in financial matters as to bring prob- ably a financial erisis. It must be rec- ognized by the strongest free traders that in this country in our present de- velopment it is not possible for us to have free trade as in Great Britain. It would not be possible for us to raise our revenue with direct taxation. If we did the first party to suffer would be the settlers, and the first goal to be set before us is the settle- ment of these enormous prairies.” Sir Wilfrid promised gradual reduc- tion of tariff. He favored reciprocity with the United States if fair treat- ment was offered to Canada. Alleged Murderer Captured After Chase Across Ocean. FINALLY KILLED BY OFFICER Sioux.

REVENGE CAUSE OF WHOLESALE KILLINGS Galifornian Stays Three and Wounds Several Others. San Diego, Cal, Aug. 2.—Bert S. Durham, a former fireman, after shoot- ing and killing one city fireman, mor- tally wounding a second and seriously ‘wounding a third near a fire box, from which he had sent in a false fire alarm, in an insane fit of revenge, went to his home and, with a blud- geon, beat his wife and little child to death. He then escaped: Nursing an old: grudge against Fire Captain Sampsell, under whom he had. formerly worked as engine driver and on whose complaint he had been dis- charged from the service for insubor- dination, Durham sent in a false alarm from the outskirts of the city. When Captain Sampsell and his engine crew drove-up Durham opened fire on his former workmates with a revolver. At the first shot Driver Don Grant fell from his seat dead, with a bullet in the head. At the second shot Hose- man Guy Elliott pitched to the ground, with a bullet through the stomach. Durham then leveled his revolver at Sampsell and fired twice, both bullets piercing Sampsell’s lungs. Draws a Second Revolver. Two more shots, fired at other mem- bers of the crew, went wild. Durham drew another revolver and covered his retreat as he started to run from As- sistant Chief Snedecor, who had driven up in answer to the fire alarm. As he disappeared in the darkness Durham shouted back to the chief: “Tell my wife I 'am going to kill myself.” The victims of the shooting were rushed to St. Joseph's hospital in one of the hose wagons. Operations were performed on Sampsell and Elliott. The surgeons say Sampsell suffered a severe hemorrhage and they hold. out no hopes of his recovery. Elliott has a chance. 2 ‘Within half an hour after the shoot- ing a score of police officers and dep- uty sherifts were on the scene in auto- mobiles and had begun a man hunt. Durham eluded his pursuers, ran home and completed the murderous frenzy by slaying his family. RdflSEVELT IN-PENNSYLVANIA Ex-President Studying Conditions in Coal Mines.

UREY WOO0D30N, Kontuckian Predicts Dem- ocratic Success in 1912, { { SAYS BRYAN IS OUT OF IT Urey Woodson Discusses the Presi- dential Campaign. Chicago, Aug. 2—Urey Woodson of Kentucky, secretary of the Democratic national committee, has come to town with a lot of renovated ideas of how the Democrats are going to sweep the country this fall and finish up the job two years hence. Mr. Woodson does not think it pos- sible for the Democrats to commit follies enough in the intervening two years’to lose the presidential election. The national secretary has been in Kansas and Towa. The one definite piece of news Mr. Woodson brought with him from the sizzling West was that William J. Bryan will not be a candidate in 1912. “The recent doings in the Nebraska state convention had nothing to do with Mr. Bryan's determination not to seek a fourth nomination,” said Mr. ‘Woodson, who has been a staunch sup- porter and lifelong friend of the Ne- braskan. “Mr. Bryan had made up his mind before he entered the local op- tion fight in his home state.” ACCUSED OF DODGING TAXES Reform League Gets After Several Chicago Millionaires.
