MORE OF VICTORY

The democratic triumph was more
decided and general than we thought
or than first seemed possible from the
first election reports. Virginia went
pell-mell for the democracy, they
sweeping everything. This ought to
wind up the Lamb concern. Kentucky
has righted itself in spite of the bale
full teaching and most reprehensible
course of that great and high kicker
Henri Watterson. Kansas and Colo
rado have one republican probably.
Iowa still stands 10y the old robber
party, but majority reduced which is a
favorable sign. South Dakota is repub-
lican also as was to have bsen expect

by Bellamy. 1t is noticeable how
quickly a novel has it's day and gives

front place for four months, longer
than any other novel for many years.
Then some other story, perhaps already
forgotten or neglected, took the lead.
Now it is "Quo Vadis," as 1atterly it
was "The Choir Invisible"

good old-fashioned woman who looks
after her home, will both at times get

for these women is Electric Bitters.

About Farming.

To The Lafayette Gazette:
DUsON, La, March 10, 1907
We a.e we'll advanced in our farm
ing operations but we are having
too much rain. There will be big
crop of cotton and corn planted
and only small crop of rice this
year on account of the high price
of seed. 1t is a fact cotton is low,
but we can afford to raise it anyway
as we have learned to raise our own
bread and meat and then what we
| have to buy is also cheap. There
is a demand for more improved
methods of cultivating and planting
our crops. The system of rotation
is not properly understood. Some
farmers plant cotton on the
same land fifteen years; no one
crop should be planted more than
two or three years on the same land;
corn and peas should follow cotton
and cane or any other crop. Some
of our lands are beginning to show
signs of long cultivation. Some
say peas sell too high. That is true
but we can raise them as we'll as
anywhere else and with bisulphide
of carbon can help them fall from
the pea weavil. There is small
pea planted in Acadia parish that
has only to be planted once in life
time. 1t is very prolific and makes
a large amount of vine which i'm
prove the land. It is equal to the
clay pea. Some object to it as it is
impossible to get rid of it when
once planted. But the tie vine is
just the same and does not improve
the land. This pea does and is not
quite as bad on cotton as tie vines.
Tree planting is much neglected on
on our wide prairies where wood is
so scarce. Every farmer should |
now plant lot of China seed to
make trees to transplant on other
year, and in six years be
independent of our bad roads.
China seed can be planted as late as
May I, if soaked and the pulp
rubbed off will come up in ten days.
Pecans will come up planted as late
as the last of May Walnuts must
be planted green with the hull on
when gathered to ensure growth the
next year.
The winter has been hard on

1ot save enough hay. This is the best
grass growing land in the State. We
nave several kinds of grasses that

trusts only few months ago, bu,

pie of the country are needing his
wise counsel. Not since the wal
had the American people heard
such stirring and earnest appeals to
their patriotism. Occasionally a
mild condemnation found its way
out of the White House, but that
ring of sincerity and determination
which characterized the utterances
of the eloquent Nebraskan was
painfully absent from anything that
has emanated from the nations
chef executives. With an unvary-
ing monotony the stereotyped anti
trust plank had made its appear
ance in the political platform at
every national convention. But
there it ended. 1t received the tri-
butte of sigh from the nominee
and provoked contemptuous smile
from the bloated monopolist. Then
the hated thing remained in s'inno-
cuous desuetude'' four more years.
But at Chicago this shameful
mockery was brought to an end.
The Democracy found a champion.
An honest, able leader. No parody
suited him. No burlesque would
be permitted by him. Instead of a
meaningless plank to catch votes,
a sincere, bold and unmistakable de-
claration against trusts was adopted.
And from that day Mr.. Bryan
waged relentless war on inioui-
tous corporations. He opened the
eyes of the people to the impending
danger and alreading several States
have taken steps to check the trusts
or monopolies.
The Alabama Legislature has
passed an antitrust law similar to
the one is existence in Georgia. 1t
renders void all contracts m ade |
with view to lessen free COMPETE
ton in the sale, importation, or
of articles of domes-
tic growth or of raw material. A
violating this law will
be deprived of its charter, and an
~ ivi1,,o1 1,;r,1ot;~- - |
ject to fine and imprisonment. The
Legislature has also passed bill
insurance companies
lloing business in Alabama from be-
which seeks to establish a uniform :
'ate and prevents free competition
IN insurance rates. A company
the act is forced to pay, +
lot only its full losses, but IS per !
:ent additional to the insured. /
The Senate of South Dakota has
passed bill prohibiting the forma- .
ion of monopolies or trusts within :
he State, or any corporation or i
company acting as agents for trusts. {
The penalty is fine of not less
han $1,000 nor more than $4,000 y
or the first offense, and not less i
h an $4,000 nor more than $40, 900 Q

Az, Ancient Remedy for Cancer Now
Almost Forgotten.

AZ, Ancient Remedy for Cancer Now
Almost Forgotten.
In a recent Science Echo attention
was called to the use of Chelidonium sap
in the treatment Of cancer successfully
practiced by St. Petersburg doctor,
Mr.. Lesson Prince writes to the current
number of Nature giving quotations
from ancient writer's showing that this
plant was highly valued by them for
medicinal purposes. Thus in Latin
work published in 1901 at Mayence, in
speaking Of the plant Chelidoniun
naius, we read: "And for cancer Of the
mouth the powder OF the root is com
pounded with the powder of roses and
boiled with vinegar"
Again, in Dutch editicnlpublished in
1914, of worl, Of ThcophTastus, after
describing a method OF preparing de-
coction Of the plant, the writer goes on
10 say: "Thc use of this liquid is es-
teemcd, which taken into the body cor
reefs and dispells all corrupt perpicious
humors." Great botanists like Linnaeus,
MURRAY and others have, it seems, eN-
pressed in their writings establishment
at the oblivion into which plant 50
energetic as the Celandine has fallen,
while the ancients knew how to aPpre-
ciate its qualities. After all, then,
Wordsworth may he forgiven for writ
ing two odcs 10 the greater and lesser
Celandine, respectively aud the scathing
s,orcosn bestowed uron him for so DO
ing by Byron was scarcely merited.
