THE AUTOCKAT OF THE House

Republican papers, which believe in
free speech and free discussion of public
measures, are as severe in their structures
of the Autocrat of the House of Repre-
sentatives as are Democrats.
The Carson Appeal, which many per-
sons say is the leading Republican paper
in Nevada, speaks of him in this wise;
"The man who is showing more of the
cloven hoof than any one in Congress is
SpeakerReed: He is worse than all the
other paid agents of tbs Gold. Bugs for he
has taken the oath of Office as Speaker
and prostitutes his high position to do
the bidding of his masters, He will be
known TO posterity as the most hagrsnt
and open shame of any Congressional ses-
sion.
OF course so long as the Speaker
amused himself by bulldosing Democrats
exclusively the Appeal kept its temper,
but when he treated the few Republicans
who favored free coinage as he did the
Democrats, the Appeal sees him and pic
lures him as he is, prejudiced and des-
potic mass of grease and gall.

THE SILVER PARTY.


passed here last Sunday on his return
from w Washington, was represented by the
SILVER STATE as saying that be favored
che organization of silver party. 10 an
interview in the. Reno Gszstte of Wednes.
day, Mr.. Newlsnds says ne was mis-
understood by the SsbvEg STATE repres-
entativs. He believes in pressing on for
free coinage, bat simply as an issue in
existing parties.
Mr.. Newlands, who has been doing
yeoman service for the cause of silver,
is of course aware that one of che great
political parties OF the country, is almost
unanimous for free coinage, and that
there is no necessity for organizing a
new party to fight for silver. In the
United States Senate, every Democrat,
save and except three, voted for free
coinage, and in the House of Represents
lives, only nineteen Democrats voted
against il. The Democratic party is,
have said to the contrary six years ago,
committed to free coinage and there is
not sincere advocate OF bi-metallism in
the country, who can withhold his sup
port from the Democratic party, on the
ground that it is opposed to silver.
While it is true that some Republicans in
the Senate aud House of Representatives,
have battled for free coinage side by
side with the Democrats, it is also 9
fact, indisputable and incontrovsrtible.
that the Republican party has placed
itself on record against free coinage.
The attitude Of the parties on the sill
yer question is now as pronounced and
we'll defined as it is ON any other issue,
not excepting the tariff. There are of
course Republicans, and many of them,
who are strongly in favor of the full re-
monetizstion of silver, but there are also
Democrats, and many of them, who be-
lieve in protective tariff. In the last
Presidential campaign Republicans in
Nevada called upon the woolgrowers of
the State to affiliate with them under the
banner of protection, and now these Re
publicans, if they prefer the prosperity of
the State and development Of its mines
to party name and care to be consis-
tent, should unite with the Democrats
under the flag of free coinage.
Mr.. Newlands does not see any neces-
sity for organizing silver party. His
words are: 81 believe in pressing on for
free coinage, but simply as an issue in
existing parties" As nine-tenths OF the
Democrats in Congress favor free coinage
and larger per centsge of the Republi-
cans are opposed to it, Mr.. Newlands, if
sincere in his professions, must join with
the Democrats. as he cannot hope to con-
vert nine out of every ten Republicans in
the House of Representatives and the
President and his Cabinet from gold bugs
to silver men.

The Remarkable Cures

Which have been effected by Hoods Sarsaparilla
are sufficient proof that this medicine does pos
sess peculiar curative power. In the severest
cases of scrofula or salt rheum, when other prep
arations had been powerless, the use Of Hoods
Sarsaparilla has brought about the happiest re-
suits. The case of Miss Sarah G. Whittier, OF
Lowell Mass, who suffered severely from scrof-
ua sores; that of Charles A. Roberts, of East
Wilson, N Y, who had thirteen absce sses on his
face and neck tina of Willie Duff of Walpole,
Mass, who had hip disease and scrofula so bad
that physicians said he could not recover, are a
few of the many instances in which wonderful
cures were effected by this medicine.

guard against unhealthful influences, upon which
they can implicitly rely, since it prevents the
effects that unhealthful climate, vitiated
atmosphere uuaccustomed or unwholesome diet,
bad water, or other conditions unfavorable to
health, would otherwise produce. On long voy-
ages or journeys by land in ATTITUDES adjacent to
the equator,i it is especially useful preventive
of the febrile complaints and disorders of thu
stomach, liver and bowels, which are apt TO attack
natives of the temperate zones sojourning or
travelling in such regions, and is an excellent
protection against the influence of extrea cold,
sudden changes of temperature, exposure to damp
or extreme fatigue. IL not only prevents inter
mittent and remttent fever and other diseases of
q malarial type but eradicates them, fact which
has been notorious for years past in North and
South America, Mexico, the West Indies, Aus
tralia and other countries.

power TO grow and ripen its fruit in that
perfection that can be gained in no other
way. Tho profit in horticulture is also
q handspring that moves men to DEVOTE
time and money to plant orchards and
vineyards. Lands planted in fruit OF
nut trees, table or raisin grapes of the
European varieties, pays from five to
ten times the profit realized from ordi-
nary crops.
Transportation companies encourage
this branch of business for the double
purpose of settling the country and the
profits accruing from heavy green fruit
business. Cold storage now enables the
large cities to receive these goods in con-
dition so that they are shipped and find
a market in the towns and villages of the
country. improvements in canning and
evaporating fruits provides for the sur
plus with profit. There is no limit to
this business and no danger of glntted
markets of products, which appeal to good
health and the pleasure of the civilized
world.
All of these fruits and nuts, says the
pamphlet, will, under proper arrange
ments, thrive in portions of Texas, as,
for instance, the soft-shell almond, Eng
lish walnut, French prune, and many
desirable varieties of the European
grapes.

or mutton stew, and yet leaves no taste
OF one in the other.
Now the secret of using this oil is to
have 1t just as hot as fire can make it
without burning before you put anything
In il to fry, and If you wish to replenish :,
don It do so until you have taken out of
the pan whatever you are cooking, then
put the fresh In and let It get hot. Never
put anything to cook in cold oil.
Mr.. Gates says the oil is extensively
used in making biscuits and cakes, and
that it imparts nutty flavor to the bis
cults, that some people like very much.
So it does. The preparer of these COL
umns for The GAZETTE has been using
refined cotton seed oil in his family for
more than ten years. He has no fault
whatever to find with it, save in bis
QUITS. The favor impaired to biscuits is
not at all unpleasant, but somehow or
other one Hwears out on It, - as we say;
that is you get so the biscuits set against
your appetite, though for the life of you
you can t tell why. But for all frying
purposes, and in cake, the oil is everv-
thing that could be desired. And if the
oil is mixed with good lard, half and
half, its Objectionable feature in biscuits
entirely disappears.
cotton seed oil very extensively as cult
nary article. Their mode of preparing it
for cooking purposes and for salad oil is
TO put it on the fire, say a gallon at
time, let it get pretty hot, just simmer
ing, and then take q raw onion about the
size of pigeon IS egg, peel 1t and drop it
into the oil. Take the oil off the fire, let
it cool with the onion in it, then draw of
and bottle for use. This process gives
the oil very much the flavor of olive oil.
Mr.. Gates claims to be no fisherman,
and yet he tells story that. almost
leads one to believe that he has fshed
some. But he voucEes for the truth OF
the story and refers 10 living witness.
Here is what he tells: ga physician
friend of mine living In q town some
forty miles from here sent young man
to me with a note requesting that
would give him employment where he
could get as much oil as he wanted.
He stated that he had done ell in his
line for the boy without avail, and as
last resort sent him to me with instruc-
lions to live on cotton seed oil. The boy
was to my mind pretty far gone with lung
and throat disease. He was feeble, had
a bad cough, and expectorated freely.
In fact he was consumptive, and I
didn't think would live six months. l
put him in the mill &C some light work,
and told him to eat all the oil he wanted.
In the course OF q few weeks noticed
great change in him. his cough had
left him. He had frightened up won
derfully, aud gained strength enough TO
begin to do heavier work. He had in
creased in weight so that he began to I'LL
clothes which were, when he came to
me, hanging on him as on pole. In q
word, that boy worked with me the Sea-
son through, and was at that time TO all
appearances q well man. saw him
about year later, strong and healthy.
For over eight months he had eaten
nothing but bakers bread and cotton
seed oil. This is fact which Dr. Tay-
lor OF Opelousas, La, who sent him 10
me, will corroborate. -

..Go to Grnss. /,

DR.. G. w. Lane lately read before a
farmers club in Georgia paper to which
he gave the above heading. In it he
said planter owning 1000 acres of land
and not making any special use of it was
poor man, for he was paying taxes on
something that brought him in no re-
turn. It was all outgo with no income.
II he could sell his land at Gil it would
net be apt TO bring him more than $4,000.
and his land makes him feel bad. He
looks to the North and finds land ranging
from $50 10 5000 per acre. He looks to
England, Holland or Belgium, and finds
it averaging from $500 to $500 per acre.
And then he concluded that he is not liT-
ing in good country.
Now, why this difference? It is not
due to any natural condition of the land
in other sections gives better return
than it does in ours-it is due to differ
enoe in treatment. Is their climate
better than ours2 The acknowledged
superiority is on our side. Are the
prices of their products any better than
ours2 On an average not SO good. Are
their taxes lighter than ours2 II we
were compelled TO pay their tax, either
at the North OF in New England, our
land would at once be sold for taxes.
Have they valuable crops which
they can raise and which we can
not raise? There is not farm product
in either old OF New England which we
cannot raise IN equal perfection at the
South. Is their labor cheaper than ours?
The cost of labor ct the North nearly
doubles the cost of labor st the South.
In England labor is cheaper than with
US. But the difference Is perhaps COM
pensated by the poor and church rates.
and other excessive taxes paid by the
English farmer.
Without exception in Europe and
America, where large portion of land
is in grass or forage crops, the price of
land Is high, reaching the figures above
mentioned. On the other hand, without
exception. wherever in either continent
the grasses do not receive this attention
landed estate IL comparatively Of low
value.
The conclusion is irresistible that a
large attention TO the cultivated grasses
is essential, not only to improved agri-
culture, but also to 3 high value OF
landed estate. IL there be q flaw in this
reasoning, the writer has been unable 10
detect 1t.

The ..wrd currant.n of Te1as,


Almost every region Of country has its
"wild currant, - but in most cases the
currant, SO called, is no currant at all t,
but q growth belonging entirely to some
other botanical family. The 'wild our
rant" of the Southern states east OF the
Mississippi river is the service berry or
June berry of the Northern states (ame-
lanchier eanadensis), while the 'wild
curraDt" of Texas is a berberrY der
berls trifoliats): and, by the way, one
OF the prettiest little evergreen shrubs We
know of. 1t is peculiar to the mountain
regions OF Texas and Mexico, but 1t may
be made to succeed in most of our lower
Southern states further east, where it
ought to receive intelligent attention at
the hands of nurserymen. II IS deserv-
ing of place in every garden or yard
where it can be made to grow.
In some portions of Texas this beau
tiful little shrub is extremely plentiful,
especially in Southwestern Texas, where
II forms immense thickets. The fruit is
used in making preserves, jams, etc. In
the Gardeners Magazine for 1910, page
6Sl, occurs the following:
This beautiful and very distinct species
Was I0ACo AlOIu aCS0 ISGOifS0
HartEeg, who found it growing at a
place called San Luis Potosi, in Mexico,
covering large tracts Of land, and almost
the only towering shrub in that place
which was not eaten by the aIl-devour-
ing goats. 1t is very curious in having
the leaves always in threes. and showing
the approach Of the piunate to the single
leaved species. 1t has small, yellowish-
green prIckly leaves which aoraeEhat
resemble fasicularis, but the fruit is Of
acknowledgment color when ripe.
The above description does not very
clearly describe the leaves, for instead
of being acknowledgment, they are of
light green color, marked along the mid
rib with 9 whitish stripe. Each leaf is
armed with strong spines, hence no won
der the Mexican goats left them alone.
The shrub inelines to grow in punches
like the bridal wreath or pomgranate,
but Is bears trimming very well, end
therefore may be held as a single speci-
