One rear = . Dick and the “Irresponsible Multitude”’ Our old friend Dick Ballinger has “orate again. A Fourth of July orator at Aberdeen he seized occasion to “view with alarm” several rather important ¢t the people of this country are trying to put through Our friend Dick expressed a violent dislike for the initiative and referendum He intimated that he simply abhorred the recall And here is how Dick wound up his little talk “If the scheme of repres wernment is not main tained in its purity the best ef f the ages in the construc government will be found to have fail and tion of popular after there has been MULTITUDE powers whict republican liberty, it will then our institutions, and liberty w directed efforts at reform.” It’s a crying shame, now country is going stra ght to the niti Ww But just wait a moment, Dick. Who was the IRRE- SPONSIBLE MULTITUDE (or mob) in 1776—the Brit- ish redcoats or Washington and his starving soldiers? And one more minute, Dick. Who, please, was the IRRESPONSIBLE MULTITUDE (or mob) in the first days of the fight against the black slave system—the “insur- gent” abolitionists or the big, property-bulwarked slave owners? Now, honest, Dick, isn’t it barely po sible that if Washing fon and his ragged soldiers lived in this, our day, they would be in the ranks of the “disreputable” insurg and progress ives, and that they would regard the special interests in politics and business as the redcoats? tngland in 1776 cautic American cok violating the ancient constitution and customs.

It has flourished in places of Its own fantastic selection, and these places are few and far between So did the cranberry for a long time, but It was pursued and cap tured.

Now, after years of patient work, Botanist Coville, of the bureau of plant industry, has discovered the secret of the blueberry, and we are going to have bi berries “to burn. The blueberry likes acid soil, which ts so poor, from the stand point of most other plants, that farmers have never had any use for i. But now acid soil will be sought, and, very likely, go a premium. For thousands of men and women they did into the cranberry business. Got a piece of “sour” land on your place?
