SECRETARY MORTON is in hot water
again, and unless the men who are
making the charges against him are
out of their reckoning he may get bad
" scalded before he gets out of it. He
and his assistants in the agricultural
department are charged with having
deliberately and Intentionally misrep-
resented facts to Senator Proctor and
Representative WadsWorth, who acted
with Secretary Morton as committee
to award the contract for seeds for free
distribution, in order to get the bid OF a
Chicago firm, which was $4,000 below
that of the firm which secured the con-
tract, thrown out. They charge that
Secretary Morton represented that the
seed submitted as samples by the Chi
cago firm were found poor, when as a
matter of fact the official records of the
tests made by the department experts
showed them to be as good in every re-
spect as those sent by the firm which
secured the contract; that Secretary
Morton told his congressional assOci-
ates on the committee of award thai
the Chicago firm declined to assume re-
sponsibility by printing their name up,
on the packages of seeds they proposed
furnishing, when that firm had stated
both orally and in writing, that it would
cut its bid $4,000 if allowed to print
its name and address on every package
They charge further that Assistan
Secretary Dabney worked against then
because they refused to use a certain
patent bag-filling machine advocated
by him. 1t is a very serious business i
these charges can be substantiated
and the men who make them say they
can be.

Don't Think the Democratic Party
Dead

The Roman Emperor who employed
a slave to whisper in his ear on cere-
monious occasions, Rememberyou are
only man !" set an example which
ought not to have been permitted to
die with his age and nation. A moni-
tor to perform function of this sort is
a highly needed adjunct to political
nagnates and parties in the present
day. What field there would be for
him at the conventions, ratification
meetings and rallies" of great parties
in presidential years When orators
are pointing with pride" to the rec
ord of their party, and when the party
is proclaiming by platform pronuncia-
mentoes that the people are on its side
and that the future of the country is in
it's hands, a warning that federalist,
national republican and wing orators
and caucuses did this, and that the
grass of decades has been growing over
the graves Of those parties, would be a
BanquO ghost at the feast, but its eff
feet would be salutary, nevertheless.
You are told, indeed, that there are
no longer parties among us; that they
are all now amalgamated; the lion and
the lamb lie down together in peace
Do not believe a word of it. The same
parties exist now as ever did" (Gal-
latin's Works." October %, 1922
Thus wrote Jefferson to Gallatin at a
time when the terra Of good feeling"
was still in progress. And Jefferson, in
a certain sense, was right. AS an or
ganizatiOn the federalist party was
dead and it's victorious republican COM
petitor was passing through a gradual
Transformation which would put it in
the hands of other leaders and under
another name. Yet men were then in
the republican party who had formerly
beer federalists, and other men were in
it who would have been federalsts if
the federalist organization were still
alive. Political beliefs had changed
only slightly. One party now COM
prised a variety of men and doctrines
which few years earlier were included
in two parties.
No great party has died since the
ewhig party's demise over forty years
ago, but the older of the two existing
psrties has passed through many muta-
lions, and the younger has met some
reverses. Ill-fortune has again over
taken the older one, but it is in no
danger of dissolution, although some of
it's friends and many of its foes are pre-
dieting this. The great parties of the
present age are tenacious OF life, yet
forecasts of the continued performance
of either are perilous. The predictions
of long period of ascendancy for their
side made by democrats after the cleo
lions of 1884 and 1892 and by the re-
publicans after the voting in 1888 prove
that in this age politics has many pit
falls for the partisan sOothsayers.

USED A DUMMY STEER.

Ruse Adopted by California Hunters in
Order to Approach Wild Duck.
At a recent meeting the California
fish commissioners discussed the cases
of several market hunters who were ar
rested for slaughtering ducks and geese
on the plain ponds by the use of guns
larger than a 12-gauge. These hunters
have trained cattle. The animals are
moved slowly to the ponds, with the
hunter hiding behind their large bodies
on the land side. When within shooting
distance the hunter merges from his
''live bird" and blazes away, with more
or less slaughter of game.
1t was suggested that a good way to
stop such slaughter with big guns would
be to have a law enacted prohibiting
the use of live blinds as well as large
guns.
''That would be of no avail, remarked
Commissioner Morrison. up in Yolo
county / saw an original idea put into
operation by two young hunters. In that
county there are number of ponds
where live blinds are used, and there
are quite a number of cattle trained to
serve the hunters. There is one pond,
however, where the cattle are of no use,
because the approaches to the water are
soft and Doggy, and would not bear up
the weight of yearling steer.
''These two hunters puzzled their
brains for several days how they could
get up within shooting distance of the
ponds, where the ducks were very thick.
At last they hit upon plan. They took
a piece of canvas the size of steers
side and with brush and several pots
of mixed paints they painted n brindle
and white steer upon the canvas. This
they cut out and fastened upon a frame
and put a hinge in the neck of their
blind With this the two started for the
pond and walked along the marsh with
the blind held between them and the
ponds. One of the hunters bobbed the
dummy's head up and down like an OK
feeding, while the other operated the
frayed end of an inch rope like an OK
switching the flies from his side. When
close enough to the game they dropped
the blind to the ground and began TO
blaze away, and great was the slaughter
Of ducks. Where such a clever sub
stitute can be made for a live blind there
is no use in passing laws on that sub
iect -

GOSSIP FOR THE LADIES


My heart and l begrile the weary ways
With dainty converse in our Ladys praise.
In sweet duet we find our Lady fair,
From slim white foot to dark upgathered
hair.
Who loves thee more, nor heart nor can
tell,
So dear she is and so desirable.
Yet when 1 sing my Lady's mist-veiled
eyes,
Her mouth made tremulous with low re-
plies.
The ordered fashion of her simple dress,
The slender wonder of her loneliness,
My heart rebukes me, pleading / prefer
This outward show and veStiture to her.
For this my heart repeats in every place,
That she herself is fairer than her face.
And sweeter far than voice, or lips, or
cheek,
The candid thought that bids her mouth
to speak.
Thus loving one her body, one her soul,
My heart and l together love the whole;
And ease the burden of life's weary ways
With dainty tribute to our Lady's praise.
Eugene Mason.
