This country is perhaps suffering as
much from trusting credit as from too
many trusts socalled
The only thing that can save the Dem
ocratic party this year is a panic and
tho most hopeful prophet in the entire
party can see no signs of one
There is no doubt of the desirability
of tho antismoko movement inaugur
ated since the anthracite strike but the
sight of theso smokeless chimneys must
have brought back unpleasant memories
to those who were here between 93 and
9G when smokeless chimneys were not
novelties
William 0 Whitney who is on his
way to Europe tho other day dismissed
tho possibility of Democratic success this
fall by declaring that the party was
without a leader or an issue lie said
tho bluff put up in the campaign book
reminded him of tho noise and excite
ment of a sham battle with the same
results
Maine has gone Republican by a tre
mendous majority and the news is tele
graphed to President Roosevelt by
Chairman Simpson of the state central
committee in the following language
Maine has gone Republican as it once
went for Governor Kent We have car
ried the state by a plurality of 25000
Have elected the entire delegation in
congress by a large majority Have
chosen every senator with one exception
and nearly if not quite four fifths of
the legislature The Pino Tree state
endorses your administration with no
uncertain voice
Chairman Griggs of tho Democratic
committee is making a great spiel just
now about the increase in the price of
the necessaries of life to the working
men It may or it may not be so but
the material point is elsewhere In the
good old times of Democratic supremacy
hard times and low prices wo remember
well that labor was unemployed and had
not the coin with which to buy hence
were unable to take advantage of the
cheap prices so dear to the Democratic
heart If prices are now higher labor
has employment and the wherewithal
with which to buy and pay for his nec
essaries and a few luxuries to boot

Interesting Letter From Congressman
Alma Neb August 23 1902 H W
Campbell Holdrege Nebraska
Dear Sir While in FranklinNebon
August 31st I had tho the pleasure of
seeing Mr Travis field of corn which
he had cultivated according to your well
known method 1 must in truth say it
is the best example that I have yet seen
of tho wonderful results to be derived
from your system of soil culture
There are about eighty acres of corn
on rolling ground some of it quite
clayey hence the field is of just the kind
that for the past three weeks has been
suffering for rain Many similar fields
of corn in tho immediate neighborhood
of Mr Travis are already beyond possi
ble repair no matter how much rain
may fall On every side of Mr Travis I
found the corn burning up badly
shrunken on the cob and not filled out
to within an inch or more of the end
All these fields showed large soil cracks
the ground being dry and hard and more
or less weedy Evidently however they
were in good condition when laid by in
the old fashioned way All of this dis
aster having occurred in the last three
weeks or since August
Mr Travis corn on the contrary was
as green and thrifty as though it had
never wanted for ram The ears were
large and well filled and in my judgment
good for fifty or sixty bushels per acre
of sound marketable corn
The most remarkable example of what
your method will do was seen upon the
west side where just across the fence
from Mr Travis was a field of corn evi
dently well tended with ordinary culti
vation but every stalk blade and ear so
dry that they rattled as in October Mr
Travis corn not eight feet away was
green and healthy and had well filled
ears that showed no lack of moisture
I wish that every practical farmer in
Nebraska could se this example of your
marvelous method and its lessons I
think that you are doing more for
Nebraska by keeping at this work than
all the politicians in the country put
together The remarkable thing about
it is that about 20 or 25 worth of work
applied to Mr Travis corn field occord
ing to your principles saved him 81000
worth of corn
Mr Travis has no weeds his ground
between the rows- is now stored with
three feet of very moist soil in perfect
shape for sowing bis fall wheat In fact
the ground that he worked three times
is in as good shape as summer followed
and had raised no crop I frankly state
that I believe that if all the farmers
west of the 100th meridian had followed
your preachings there would not now be
a single field of corn burned or damaged
as all the trouble came after the first of
August There has been enough rain to
raise an abundant crop all over the state
if it had only been stored in the ground
for use of the crops
I am more pleased than I can express
and shall preach soil culture long and
loud whenever given an opportunity
both in Nebraska and at the national
capitol Very Respectfully

Another Instance of Supreme Indurance
Not long ago the Herald chronicled an
incident showing nerve and endurance
on tho part of Brakeman P V Baschay
that it thought would be Hard to equal
when he held to a drawbar and was
dragged fifteen or twenty miles but
this week another that fully equals it in
quickness of thought and courageous
endurance is directed to our attention
The principal in the story is Engineer
G E Hick Last Sunday when in the
Belmont tunnel about forty five miles
northwest of here he went out on the
running board at the side of the engine
to adjust something about the sanding
apparatus preparatory to descending the
grades east of Pine Ridge In the dark
ness he missed his footing and slipped
from the narrow board to what would
have been a certain and horrible death
had he not in falling grasped a hot
steam pipe and despite the torture in
flicted retained his hold upon it until
the engine which was running very
slowly reached the end of the tunnel
about 300 feet distant Then he dropped
to the ground the burned flesh from the
palms of his hand sticking to the hot
steam pipe showing what intense agony
tho effort had cost him The physical
strength required was great as the side
rod struck him at every revolution of
the wheel threatening to loosen his pre
carious hold upon the pipe Aside from
his burned hands he was uninjured and
was brought to Alliance to have them
dressed but it will be some time how
ever before he will pull the lever at the
throttle again Alliance Herald Sep
