The man in Hancock county whops afraid of $125 to $160 per acre land will find within ten years, that his fe'ars are just as groundless as they "Were a few years ago when he said $75 land was too high. Land in Hancock county is high but it will go higher. Land at $125 and $150 will not only be a safe investment in Hancock county tout it will be a money making one. If a man does not want to sell his farm heshould not put a price on it.

Arthur Brisbane, editor of the New York City Journal, and one of the best known newspaper men in the United States, said in an address before the great advertising convention recently held at Omaha, that he re-' garded the country newspaper the very best advertising medium to be had. He said that it was circulated among the neighbors and friends of the country editors and appealed to them stronger than the metropolitan papers do. To emphasize what he said, he declared that his statement was uninfluenced by self-interest, as he was connected only with metropolitan papers.

The declaration of Colonel Roosevelt that he regards it more his business to hunt out of public life a crook who claims to belong to his own party than if he claimed to belong to another, is the spirit that should be found in every party man. The man who would purify his own party is its true friend. The man who would cover up the wrongs of his party is its real enemy. If parties are to retain their organized idenity, they must be conducted upon a higher standard than in the recent past, and their influences must be exerted in behalf of the people. Honesty in politics is what the people are demanding, and the political leaders, no matter what their party, who stand for it, are the ones which the people are going to select as their officiate.

The serious accident which resulted In (he death of a valuable horse on

r^ l'i',WJ4*1P

the show ground Thursday afternoon was perhaps due more to the failure of the marshals to keep the people outside the show ring than any other thing. On'such occasions officers of the day are reluctant to handle the crowd roughly, at the same time, their failure to do so endangers the safety of life and property. Few things are more inexcusible than to crowd in upon a show ring. It results in fewer people seeing the exhibits, and does not really benefit those who do crowd the ring. Officers should do their duty and force people to keep their places on such occasions.

President Taft's administration has been indorsed by most of the Republican conventions this year, but the indorsements have not been as hearty as they usually are in party conventions. The cause of this is due to no lack of confidence in the president, as to the feeling that certain party leaders have too much influence over him. There is no mistaking the fact that the people of the country,! whether right or wrong, are against the standpatters. Mr. Taft will be obliged to take notice of the sentiment of the people if he expects their hearty support in the future. Neither he nor Congressman Cannon, nor Senator Aldrich, nor Vice-president Sherman can convince the people that they are altogether mistaken.
