Freaks and variations in vegetables
have been numerous at experimental
stations. One Of the beets planted for
seeds. instead of throwing up a seed
shoot. emitted branches from the root
and these branches. coming from the
surface, threw out leaves, thus forming
cluster of roots. which have grown
as ANIMALS, showing no tendency to
seeding. A potato plant developed tu-
bers in abundance in the axis of its
leaves. An onion of the white Globe
variety sprouted into a top onion, the
cluster of small bulbs replacing the
top formation. Bi-annuals become an

plants the next year. thus showing how
easily and quickly the habits of some
plants can be changed by selection.

Locating An Apiary.

Where wild flowers and linden trees

locate an apiary. On the farm such

for The bees will find any nectar pro-
ducing plants within a radius OF two
miles of the aplary and sometimes
they will fly even further. Bees need

Adieu Mr.. Johnson, and when you re-
feet Of what big position you have tried
to fill and what a miserable failure you have
made, just remember you have no one to

facts before you. that is if you had taken the
pains to have read them, Of the rotteuuess

master General and the columns Of the
SUNDAY GLOBE have ever been open for
any contradiction that you or any others
wished to make, but no answer has ever
been made, and so we assume them to be
facts. and will go even farther and say we
can substantiate every word of what has
heretofore been published.
In the FIRST place had you made an at
tempt to have cleaned out the corruption
left in the department by your predeces-
sor, you know we'll enough the people
would have h0nored you; but no, as far as
the administration of the bureau was con-
cerned we might as we'll write DITTO to
the former administration, for you have
either been too weak morally or the politi-
cal influence has been too stroug, for you
have simply played the part of a mere
figure head. And in one year from now if
the question we're asked who was First AS
sistant Postmaster General during the time
you have been here no one could tell from
any reforms that have been adopted and
would probably say P. S, Heath, from the
general appearance around the bureau
Think of this, Mr.. Johnson, and do not
ever again enter the political arena unless
you have backbone enough to stand for .le
right for you will leave this position f'illy
as unsatisfactory as any person ever did.
Had you taken the advice of this paptr and
wiped your hands and the department clean
of Mikey Lewis et al, you could probably
return to New Jersey with honor, but as it
is all we can say is VALE, Mr. Johnson.

al % Democratio Newspapers.

There is, we hope, no dispute as to the
fact that the SUNDAY GLOBE is the only
Democratic newspaper published IN Wash
ington which has for the past eleven months
regularly appeared on publication days
We understand that there are some fy.by-
night wEAELIEs which come out semi
occasionally, and which are neither offered
for sale on the news stands or sold on the
streets by newsboys. But the SUNDAY
GLOBE is the only legitimate Democratic
newspaper issued regularly, sold on the
streets and by the newsboys, with Tega-
lar mailing lists of subscribers published in
the Nations Capital.
Under Stilson Hutchins the Times made
some hypnotic attempts to be Democratic

under Mr. Munsey's ownership there are
no such pretensions The Times is con-
Quoted on counting room principles, and is
for Marcus A. Hanna. William ], Bryan,
or Arthur Pue German at the regular ad-
vertising rates. Mr.. Hanna recently made
his debut in two pages of the Times at a
small discount from the regular rates.
Hence we again affirm that the SUNDAY
GLOBE is the only Democratic newspaper
in the Washington field and as such it is
entitled to, but so far has not received, the
recognition and support to which it is en-.
titled.
But we did not invest in Democracy over
thirty years ago as a speculative 6nan-
cial enterprise, and we have never looked
for a pat on the back or the coin of the
realm for spreading the principles and con-
victious which consume US before our fel.
ow-citizens
A Democrat is not paid for carrying the
hod any more than he draws an annual
compensation in any other pursuit for being
a Democrat, and the editor Of Democratic
newspaper is in the same category. We
hug no illusions, and we advance no claims
to any different treatment simply because
we utter in print the convictions which all
Democrats entertain alike But we mildly
and very respectfully affirm that there is
support which the Democratic newspaper
is entitled to, nevertheless And that sup
port is its recognition and encouragement
by those who believe in the principles it
advocates and in the doctrines for which il
is the mouthpiece, champion and advocate.

Theodore Roosevelt-candidate.

The posing of the administration on the
veteran question has deceived nobody, least
of all the old soldiers. The retention Of II.
Clay Evans in the office Of Pension Com
missioner is but one of the inconsistent
acts against the professions of sympathy
dribbling from the man in the White
House. The class Of appointment clerks
with few honorable exceptions, notably
the appointment clerk of the census. who
recently, in compliance with the executive
order, canvassed the clerks Of that depart
ment and made memorandum of the old
soldiers for the permanent list, are not of
the character and patriotic qualifications to
carry out the provision of the veteran
preference order And the President has
columns.
It is not likely that the Englishman Ford
in the War Department nor the dismissed
officer from the volunteer army, Lyman, in
the Treasury Department will favor old
soldiers. Nor will Henry Castle, Sixth
Auditor Of the Treasury, whose ukase that
old soldiers are too old to occupy any
higher clerical position than the lowest
grade clerkship, pay much attention to an
executive order which they are conscious is
insincere from the fact that men like them
selves are permitted to retain the high de-
partment positions they occupy.
The resolutions Of soldier organizations
thanking and compimenting the President
for his executive order in favor Of the
veterans are the emanations of the design
ing leaders and politicians among them
who have fish to fry and who are aspirauts
for place and position, using their influence
among the old soldiers for their own per.
sonal aggrandizement.
The deserving and real old soldiers bit
terly resent the determinations and injus-
tice TO which they have been subjected by
the Pension Office, the various departments
and the party which their votes have placed
in power.
The President Is "in the hands Of his
friends" and has already lost that indi-
viduality which was his most conspicuous
If not his shining virtue. His ambition has

nomination, and men Of experience know

whether this slap in the face on his recent

The GLOBE in reply would state, once for
all, that these executive orders are thor
oughly understood by department chiefs

If this were not the case Henry Castle or
no other chief of a department would dare
