CIRCULATION (SWORN) OVER 4000
ST iLABEL
ADVICE FROM MONTANA.
The agricultural editor of the Ana
conda Standard Is evidently busy these
days. He has been giving some advice
on farming, a part of It applicable 1o
any country or climate. The-part pft
about Irrigation has no place in appH
cation to conditions in Oregon, .how
ever. We have' plenty of 2 Irrigatier
here, without the expense of construct
ing ditches or storing the water. " Fol
lowing Is the evidence of the busy dayr
of the Montana agricultural editor:
' "It is seedtime and in the Bittei
Root, the Gallatin and the Yellowstone;
in the Plains valley and the Flathead
the Montana farmer goeth forth to sow"
He spent the Lenten season in the pre
paration of his ground if be was a wise
and thrifty husbandman, and iow that
Easter has brought sunshine, be pro
ceeds to I scatter broadcast the seed
from which he expects a bountiful har
vest. This Is his busy day and h
works overtime, he and his ox and hif
ass and his son and his hired man, foi

The agricultural editor is in receip
of numerous Inquiries at this time ot
year and, is fast as he can find time
they are receiving his careful atten
tion. A : few general observations . a!
this time may serve to quiet the anx
iety of some of those who have failed
to receive replies by mail. In the firs
place, all sowers should note especial'
ly that this is not the time, to quott
"Whatsoever a man soweth, that shal'
he also reap." This proverb, whll
eminently true in many Instances, doe
not apply to the case in hand.

and beans to raise succotash. Ever

state, jit is also a mistake to expec
to raise; dried apples on ground when
there is no water. There are also in
stances j where the distribution of wa
termelon seeds has failed to yield ar

"There are some special cases tha'
might b mentioned, but their discus
sion would occupy too much space thit
morning. The average Montana farm

der most favorable conditions, i He -ha

his crops each year. The present sea

, SURE-ENOUGH REFORM. '
Recognizing the Importance'of the corset in the race
suicide business, some young, men In Pennsylvania have
declared war against the, contrivance. ' They will crusade
against this5 enemy of .the 'human race until it is out of
existence; they"; will extend their campaign all over the
country and ; will not desisf. until woman is emancipated
from the corset habit; their 'war-cry is to echo from East
to West and from Norh, to South; they will devote their
lives to this noble work. The corset must and shall be
banished. " .' ; -;t . ;- , ? . : .
The declaration of principles of this anti-corset league
is a strongly worded document. It sets forth the , lofty
purpose of. these new reformers, who see no hope of the
perpetuation " of mankind .-unless the corset goes. These
men know all of the evil things of which the cqrset Is
capable;' they are familiar with Its depravity; ther. view
with alarm the icon ti nuance" of its frightful iniquities; they

According to the estimates of the Department of Agri
culture, the American wheat crop of 1903 will be the great
est that the country has ever produced, j The acreage of
winter wheat Is thirty-four millions this year; and It is
predicted : that; this vast area will yields more" than five
hundred millions of bushels of grain. , The winter and
spring conditions have been perfect, the experts say, for
the growing crop and there Is no probability of a-failure
later in the year. We are accustomedTd f 'large figures In
this country but this estimated crop Is ahead of anything
that has ever been recorded. ? It m?am a prosperous year
for the farmers and an unprecedented amount of business
for the railroads, and Incidentally Increased activity In
all other branches of business.
; The Presidential boom of Mayor Harrison, of Chicago,
has received a decided I pi pet us from the result' of his
successful municipal .campaign this spring. His boomers
have beenivery active during the pasVw'eek' or two, and
Mr. Harrison Is already booked for several addresses be
fore. Important meetings of Democrats, ' He will speak, at
Kansas City and Denver, during the present . month and
his friends expect, great -results from these two speeches-J
Of course, it's a long look ahead but MrJ Harrison's sup-
porters evidently oeueve m the advantage of getting an
early start.'' They are now planning- a dampalam for the
purpose of capturing' their own state delegation and Har
rison clubs are being organized at important points." At
the head of the first one of these clubs Is no other than

The fact that there .'has been .no money1 In the plant
for the owners is due largely to the fact that the street

national ownership, of industries - is' an" Ideal policy. In
HolUnd the railroads are owned by the government Some
months ago the railway employes struck or higher wages
and shorter hours. There was more or less' disorder which
was more or less successfully stopped by the military;. The
strike failed. The government "held th' ' iV was In the
nature of a military mutiny and enaee4. legislation mak
ing such conduct criminal. I -'K. X ' -
; The Dutch labor organizations regarded this legislation
as a direct attempt to deprive workmen of the right to
leave employments that do not suit them, and against it
declared a general strike of alt labor employed In land and
water transportation. : This strike wai Intended as a pro
test against the "anti-strike. laws. Every trade , in the
country threatened to become Involved in It-' Government

they will smile at these earnest reformers and go on wear

are irresistible and that even the seal of the leaguers will
not make It possible for them to live without girls. In
the end the league' will have to surrender but for a while
it promises to make things Uvely In the Keystone State.
," TALKING OF- BRIBERY.
For various reasons the peop"t of Kew England have
been very much occupied of late. in. discussing the pre
valence of bribery Iti . eectlons.; Out of the discussion
there has come of course A Conference on the subject- The
principal speakers we're' Governor Garvin,' of Rhode Isl
and, who described the., bribery practices of that state;
Rev. J. J. McCook. of Hartford, who spoke of the -evil in
ConheCticuCrTand Gee rge Itenhan,' who 'told of -the way
things have, been tain nDeleware, with incidental 'refer
ences to' MassachusetfsAltqgether .they made a, strong
showing arid an ihttr -sting one. It appears that when tt
comes to the use of ' noney to carry: elections or t per
suade. Legislatures tlu Pacific- Northwest is -in the 'kinder
garten class while -New- Kngland Is getting ready 'for . the
doctor's degree : - . . - . : . . ..
In a New. England, conference- -Delaware should not
have been brought to the bar, for she is outside the Puri
tan pale. - It happens,' however;', that the 'alleged master of
bribery in Delewaie Jp-iAddickV arid Massachusetts has al
deep interest in'AdmcxS. He, orve,. monkeyed, with a Halt
sachusetts Legislature and got away jWlth It "4 Moreover
and this grinds the New Engenders he got ajvay with It
cheap. Mr. Kennan relates that when, AddicksV manager
went down to Delawaee to fix ..things Je expected to have
an easy job, but to his surprise, he ' found he could not
; Concerning that phase of the issue Mr.- Kennan la re
ported; as saying:, : He - (Addicks) thought' by putting
$14t).ft00 into that campaign, he had bought a, Senatorship.
and no doubt he was going to get rW- But It was found
that while the Republicans had a'tnajorlty of eleven" he
could control only six or seven of them. He therefore
turned his attention to buying votes of legislators in the
Assembly! : He and his workers offered .from . $10,000 to
$20,000 apiece for;every vote they rould get- t am jgrlad
to say for the credit of Deleware .that' although $20.0Q0
was offered to legislators for 'their votes he did not get a
single man during that session of the-- Legislature. And
his Boston worker. Mr; Donohue, w'a! so disguested with
this result that, he said to the chairman of the Sussex
County Republican coynrnitteerThiV is a, d--d queer state
of things down her In liawaire." tn Boston Mr Addicks
can get all the men he wants for 15,00 apiece, but If there
is any man in this' d-i d Legislature that can be bought I
haven't -found him.'.'
V Governor Garvin, after reviewing the exposure of brib-,
ery In Rhode Island, suggested as a remedy the abolition
of the secret ballot and said: "I think the final way to
vote will be to hand each voter th voting list, .with his
name upon it, ; and at the side of Uhe name a space for;
him to . write the name ot the candidates for whom he
wishes to vote opposite his rme. . There we will have
the list and know who votes, and It U a matter of, proof
in courts. ' It Is an open ballot, to be sure, but that means
yon will ned no corrupt practice act, i ! "t V .' : " -
Mr.- McCook; estloiateB-tht- l,oCMUiectlcut there- are
upwards of 30,000 venal voers and. that they hold the
balance of power In every election, so that bribery virtually
decides every contest- . By way of snggesting & "remedy
he said; "What is required Is that plain, honest' people
begin to attend primaries,' -committee meetings, the polls;;
that they put on no airs; that' they be ready to give and
take; that they plant their fieeia at every favorable spot,
taking in and holding evepr, Inch, of the slack, and' thai
they suffer not themselves. to. be discouraged because they
get more cuffs than ha'pence, and because their Rome
can not "be built lit W day, fjin ra word, duty, conscience,
unselfishness. ''imperturbable good nature. Invincible stub
borness. ' . .. '.--- , r ;
The results of the conference are by no means encour
aging. CJoveTnor Garvin's plan, of an open ballot Is too
much opposed to American tradition to be adopted. Mr.
McCook's plan Is easy toWecommend, but there appears nd-
way of getting it enforced. 'Probably if some vitally. lm-
on, and keep ahead of Tiim, no- matter
how fast he ' grown. Her presence
should be the constant presentation of
an ideal of pure living and high en
deavor; a continuing antidote to. the
tcynicism that living in the world and
observing men and manners tend to
breed in a man. The Ideal wife should
be' such that when her husband sees
examples of folly and . depravity he
may think of her and thereby assure
himself that there is purity and hon
esty and high thinking and fine doing
in the world. The ideal wife ought, to
give her husband intellectual stimulus,
to spur him on to doing the best- that
Is In him, to think for him as well as
pray for blm, to help blm in his career
by lOve, by encouragement, by counsel.
by example. ,
Friction with, the world while earning
a , living- or rnakfng a career is very
likely to blur, a man's ideals and dull
the fine edges of his character. It is
the business of a wife to keep fresh
these Ideals and these sharp edges.. At
home, with books, pictures, friends,
leisure, she can preserve a clear sense
of the beautiful, a' firm belief in . the
ood. She Sees one side of life and he
nother, and her observations are nee-:
ssary to supplement his and give him
true and complete idea'' of life, which
s"; neither all striving-and selfishness.
ior all beauty and gladness.
Having to spendThis 'strength and his
bays in earning a living, a husband has
hot energy or leisure for keeping pace
yvith the-development of -the world in
hings ot the mind. Ills wife ought to
be his mentor in this regard; ought to
luform him of all new things; ought, to
be able , at once to entertain and en
lighten him by her conversation.- The
leisure1, which his labor enables -her to
have should be employed In some meas
ure for his benefit. A wife ought to
dress her mind with as much care as
she Presses 'her body.' " She ought to
-, - - ' - -
keen in touch with the literature, the
high thinking of the day as scrupulous
ly as she' keeps in touch with the peo
ple on her calling list. A wife should
iot ,be a mere toy, nothing but an ar
ticle of vertu, in her house. , She should
be- the Informing spirit of the place, a

opinion he respects as much as any
