A PROMISE AM A PEOPLE, On the surface there seems but little connection betaeen the destiny of a province In the north oi China and the fate of a persecuted people In the south of Europe. Yet between the destiny of Manchuria and Ibe fate of t'.e Russian Jews there Is a con nection that is appareut to the dis cerning observer. It la as well, In -considering Rus-f si a' policy, to start with the axiom that Punie faith was lea of a broken reed than Russia. The "Orientals of Europe" set before themselves sn object, and the achievement of tbeir purpose I marked by a trail of brok en pledge. But the objective point ha been reached. Sine the time of Catherine tha Great, Russia ha ben set upon access to tha Pacific Now lo the time of Nicholas the Little the access haa been secured, and the pro vince of Manchuria has felt the unre lenting preasuie of the bear's paw The remembrance of the dental and aaaeverated denials that the occupa tlonof Manchuria was anything mure than temporary is fresh in the minds of reader. Just at this juncture the Tartar abed bia Russian skiu, aud proceed to massacre hi ueighbor Jew. The Russian government lsperturbed by these atrocities, for the nation tha dislike to see Manchuria a poesesaion of the czar havo bow au excellent means ef arousing public opinion against the people that permit aud practices audi ciuel lite. Count Cas- alni, ambassador at Washington, come forward with au "explaualiou" that paints the Jew in color blacker ban moat people In these piping times would use uinn the devil. Hi so-called argument were squashed by speaker aud w riters all over the countryt and public opinion became dangerously arouseU.

A LEA LEA AS A 9IEII('1.E A few year ago famers were al most afraid lo raise hogs on account of the prevalence of cholera. Once that disease got a start in a herd it generally succeeded hi practically destroying it. Not only the aged stock, writts W. 8. Mc Auley in Southwest Stockman, but the pig ns well were fleeted. Hog cholera remedies were sometime used to good advantage theu again they proved to be inetl ctuil in stopping the ravages ot tlif plauo. 8ii.ee the farmer have taken to growing alfalfa extensively a a field forage plant for hogs, bowevere, the situation i ebanged. Now hog cholera in our part of the atate is rare and the loss ol swine by the disease ha beeu reduced by more than '20 per cent. Farmers everywhere attribute tha change to that wonderful plant, alfalfa, aud I sincerely believe that 1 what worked the transformation. The difference in the health of hogs that have beeu kept in feed lots, aud fed grain and dry feeds is pronounc ed, and particularly ao with regard to young pigs. Sucklings that bave alfalfa-fed mothers are far more rug ged and healthy than are those that trace their ancestral dam to the pig sty. Sows that forage on alfalfa raise lusty, hearty pig that seldom fall victims to cholera, while the mothers that are kept on other feed and not permitted the freedom of tho alfslfa fields are geuerally inclined to be aickly. Kansas baa made great strides In growing alfalfa the past two or three yeais and I think you will find those sections of the state that raise the greatest quantities of that plant are turning out the 'clean est hog and complain Irss of the prevalence of cholera. . If there 1 anything that w ill solve the great question of hog cholera, one that has troubled farmers since the beginning ot all time, It in toy estimation Is hi fall. The time will come, I believe, when -very hog feeder and grower will plant many acres of alfalfa each year for uo other pur pone than grazing hoy. I do not expect to see the uiilleiiuiiii appro eh, but wheu the uuiversal alfalfa time rolls around, I should not tie surpris ed to find hogs cl olera put on the, sheila a back nuiiiiT, while thel swine of that day do n t know whal sicknesa is.

STATE PRESS The other day at Tacoma, says the Butte Inter Mountaiu, lu a gathering of prominent republicans Of the state of Washington, President Roosevelt said: "I would rather lie all presi dent for three and a half years than half president for seven aud a half ears." It was au utterance worthy to be given wider publicity than it ha yet achieved. - It ranks jvell up with "I would rattier be right than be president." As a l eclaration of udependence it is quite as stirring as the latter famous phrase. In other word', Mr. Ruosevelt made it clear that so long as he i president, he is resident in fact. He is not a man of kitchen cabinet or power behind the throne, and his Tacoma epigram shows that he will tolerate not the slightest interference by 1 -interest a" In the conduct of bis aitministalion.

If so, the Federation of Lsbor 1 playing with fire. In the past the sympathy of the farmer ha almost invariably been with workmen in the controver sies between employer and workmeu When the farmer read the ridlcul ou misstatement which the organ! zer of larm laborer are putting out it will greatly weeken their conflJ en co In the accuracy of theatatement which they make to justify their position in struggle with other clase of employer. There are about 6,000, 000 farmer in ths United States. It appears probable now that the next period of bard times In the United States will be biought about by strugggle between employers and organized laborer. The proportion of farmers who are voters i much larger than the proportion of organ! zea laborer, if bard time come about as a result of labor trouble the question of the right and legal power of uuiona will become the main political issuo of the country. In such a contest some of the princi pies which ui ion hold will fare hard if the 6,000,000 farmer of the United Stale are hostile Oregon Agricultu rist.

It wa too bad that our govern ment had to go to Germany for artill ery, but as the American manufact ure are so rushed wilh orders of all sort In their line that they could not fill the governments requirements, Germany or some other country had to be appealed to. The factories of the United State of all kind are rushed with work. Thi ia one of the accompaniments of republican prosperity. . This nugge of wisdom is from the President's speech at Boise: The for ests and the grasses are not to be treated as we properly treat mining that is, as material to be used op and nothing left behind. We must re cognise the fact that we have passed the ntage when we can afford to tole rate the man whose object is simply to ekin the land and get out. We must handle the water, the wood, the grasses so that we may hand them on to our children's children In better and not worse shape than we got them."
