B. P. Leek, of Concord, Ky.,
says: "Por 20 years I sflffered
agonies, with a sore on my upper
lip, so painful, sometimes, that
could not eat. Alter vainly trying
everything else, I cured it with
Bucklen's Arnica Salve." It's

sores ou the body politic that may
require draslic remedies before
they are entirely eradicated.
We are all lamiliar wiib the con-
ditions in Missouri that resulted in
the election of Governor Folk.
That commonwealth was honey-
combed with graft, bribery aud
corruption, until it smelled to high
heaven, but thanks to an enlight-
ened non partisan public opinion a
beginning was made, that will
eventually rid her of the leaches
that have been sapping her vitality.
This example has been followed
by other commonwealths and mu-
nicipalities until the people of the
tired on ipplication to tbe Honor-
able James Wilson, Secretary of t
the Department of Agriculture, 1
Washington, D. C.

retary of Agriculture for literature
on tbe subject and arrange, if pos-
sible, to make a series of experi-
ments this year.

The Exponent of Farm Organization
Prom the very infancy of the
Parmers' Union the Farmers' Un-
ion Password has been its inspira-
tion and strength and -judicious
counseller; and now that it has
been consolidated with the South-
ern Mercury (the old Alliance pa-
per ) and enlarged to the dimen-
sions of an S-page, 7 column week-
ly, brimfull of official and general
Union news, live correspondence
and strong editorials, aud also the
late current news, telegraphic and
otherwise, foreign and domestic.
at the popular price of ti per year,
it becomes indispensable to the up-
to-date farmer, and enables its!
readers to keep abreast of the times . 'J":"
whether they take any other }>aper r In
—other than their home paper-
not. The Mercury-Password 1
jteculiarlv vigorous and fearless it
exposing the grafts and fraud
and a regular house-cleauiiig cam-
paign has lieen inaugurated.
In the city of •Milwaukee, Wis.
tlit; grand jury has returned 120
indictments. Of this number 13
were members of the,county board
of supervisors, 12 members of the
city council, one state senator, sev-
en office holders under the county
and city governments and nine
bu-iness men or employers, through
whom the public servants were al-
ledged to have been corrupted.
Seven convictions so far have fol-
lowed the indictment, four have
plead guilty and paid fines and two
have been acquitted.
Philadelphia, Pa. is another city
almost on the verge of bankruptcy,
brought on by graft and corrup-
tion. It had about reached the
limiPof its borrowing capacity un-
der its charter. Its schools, high-
ways, sewers and water department
were all in need of funds, more
money must be had for its gigan-
tic sand Alteration plant, its boule
vard to Torresdale and a multitude
of other graft enterprises inaugu-
rated by the machine. The people
were unwilling to submit to in
creased taxation to fill the maw of
these grafters, when a venal, city
council resorted to the spendthrift's
last resource—the pawn shop—
and by an act of that body put in
oak to a private corporation the
Municipal Gas Works franchise
worth $150,000,000 for 75 years
for the beggarly sum Jof $25,000,-
000 to be paid in installments.
Mayor Weaver vetoed that bill.
Public opinion sustained the may-
or aud the council was afraid to
try to pass it over his veto Since
then a system of investigation has
been set on foot aud the first fruits
of that investigation was the dis-
charge of 30 employees in the Bu-
reau of health, and the mayor says.
"That every man who has had any
part in the. frauds believed to have
been perpetrated upon the city in
the connection with the construc-
tion of the Alteration plant as well
as other contract work shall be ar-
rested and prosecuted."
Thus it is hoped that the good
work begun in the cities will con-
tinue and in the course of time
reach the smaller towns and com-
munities that graft and corruption
be eliminated from our system of
government, ere it is too late.
Chii'.
The contributor-might well have,
added other chapters to his article
and told of the indictment in Chi-
cago of about all of the big million-
aire packers for their connection
with the beef trust, how the big
railroad systems of the east are
trying to prevent the building of
the Panama canal and many other
oases. And he might, too, have
given President Roosevelt credit
for starting this wave of reform
for the credit is due him.

plication, the Chicago, Rock Island
& Pacific Railway Co. will arrange
to make a free rate 011 Durum
wheat seed to be used strictly for
experimental purposes, between
points on its lines.
Recent experiments made wit})
these prove conclusively that
it is the proper wheat for Western
Kansas, Eastern Colorado, Wes-
tern Oklahoma, the Pan-Handle of
Texas, and New Mexico, the wheat
producing good results where the
rain-f&ll is less than fifteen inches
per year, and government statistics
show that the rain-fall in the states
and territory above menhtioned
greatly exceeds fifteen inches.
In the event you should decide
to make an experiment this year, I
will be glai to hear from you.

*To the Coast'
This phase has come to mean a very common, every-|
day performauce—people travel to and fro between the
East and California as unconcernedly as you please.
Rock Island transcontinental Tourist sleepers (so com-
fortable,, economical and gratifying to the traveler) leavt
the Hast and the West on their interesting trips several
times a day. In fact, they are operated over two routes
and on Rock Island rails via both routes tor a good share
of the distance.
They travel via El Paso, through New Mexico—the
Southern route: also via Colorado and Salt Lake City—
the Scenic route. Each way has its points of advantage,
hence many tourists like to vary their trip by going ont-
way and returning the other.
Special excursion rates in effect to Pacific Coast point>I
and return on numerous dates in months of April to
October. 1905, inclusive.
The routes and service are fully described in our folder!
entitled "Across"the Continent in a Tourist Sleeper.' I
This will be promptly sent, together with full ififorma-
tion about rates, npon rennest.
