DIDN'T GO TO DO IF

A few days ago The Advertiser clipped and printed the following paragraph
 We do not believe that Mir. Bryan will bolt either man here mentioned if he is nominated on a platform ignoring free coinage, but preserving the principles of the Kansas City platform.
 And credited it to The Nashville News. That paper declares that we have ''mis, quoted it several times" and that we did so in this instance. Then it adds:
 Our Gontemporary will do us a service by designating the time and place this stances that surrounded it We have not advocated ignoring the Chicago ard the Kansas City platforms, but have insisted would be necessary. The Advertier has evidently strained a point to crack a joke.
 The Advertiser emphatically denies that 1t has "misquoted" any of it's conten- poraries. though 1t may have given credit to the wrong paper. The paragraph above quoted was printed exactly as 1t appeared in the paper from which we cut it. We are usually careful in the matter of giving credit. and rarely make an error of this kind. If The News will pardon a little Latin, We will give it a quotation from Horace: Quandoque bonus dor mitat Homerus, or, Even the worthy Homer sometimes nods," and if that is true, it is not surprising that a hard worked newspaper man sometimes takes a nap. However. The News will admit, no doubt, that the language used is just about what would have been said by 1t, if it had felt called on to express an opinion. Does this explanation satisfy?

Negro preachers and all others of in- huence with the race should unite in making war upon excursions. A leading negro editor in Texas has addressed his people letter setting forth the evils of the practice and favoring the suppress sion of negro excursions by the Texas railroads and authorities. Cheap railway excursions and cheap whiskey in abund- ance are the evils of which the Texas editor writes as follows:
 The truth is, the negro excursion is a nuisance, and should be abated. What the negro needs is six days work in every week. and in hfty-two weeks every year. and to stick to it. Fiddling and drinking and riding are not things to make a great people Let the negro excursion come to q stetndstill. If this is done there will be- less of the hip-pocket industry and fewer razor plays. The Fl Paso city au- thorities are right in discoufaging the train-riding idlers. Other cities should do the same thing.

The Highland Park School House.

Editor The Advertiser:
 Please allow me space in your paper to make some comments on the school house of Highland Park:
 Alderman May says 95 per cent of the park people signed a petition to locate tine school across the bridge. Two-thirds of the signers of that petition were misin- formed as to the location on the west side and were led to believe it would be among negroes when it was in the midst of white citizens. and some of the best lected was only two blocks from the bridge when it is in the fourth block and the Alderman who worked so hard to place 1t beyond the bridge did not take in consideration that children as far as Jackson Street, any way, would have to attend this school, and how it can be a centre 1t is impossible to see We would also ask the Council to place water in the schoOl-that is, city water. at once. as the water the school children out here have to use Is bad A Citizen.

 The Leader believes the time is ripe for the Democratic party to put plank in it's national platform, setting forth that this Is primarily and properly a white mans country. and denouncing President Roosevelts policy in fondling the negro vote.

The Humberts, who are entitled to wear the belt as the most picturesque and ex- tensive swindIers of the age. acted wisely in conducting their villainous transactions on such an extensive scale.

 And lots of other headings too numer- oous te mention. but all tending to tho same effect-namely, that the great Amer ican girl is at the head of the Canadian works just as she is in India, where Miss Daisy Letter, of Chicago 0ady Curzon), Is supposed to rule the roost.
 That is the cause of all the worrlment on the part of The Herald. It evidently looks forward to a time when Wander bilts will be the whole thing in Canada. With the Duchess as the initiatory men1- Der of the family. other representatives of 1t will invade the Dominion. and, after them. will naturally come representatives of various other millionaire families, and then what is to become of Canada?. And what will become of the Canadian press :? It is not to be expected that the leading members of our aristocracy will lend their presence to Montreal and other cities without getting themselves in the papers. and the next we know The Herald may find itself compelled "to issue an extra every time a Vanderbilt eats a biscuit" That would probably be just little too big a load for Cana dian journalism, and some of them would shut up shop. They have our sympathy in advance.

SEES DANGER AHEAD.

The Montreal Herald is almost ready to have an attack of didoes over American habits and peculiarities. and, incidentally, over threatened invasion of its own country by Americans and American isms. It all comes from the talk in Eng land of making the Duke of Marlborough Governor-Ge General of Canada. But what has that to do with it. We'll. the Dukes wife was Vanderbilt and that causes The Herald to- say: T Needless to say, of course, Canada has no objection to Vanderbilts. but it has a decided objection to Vanderbilt worship in the States and particularly on the part of the yellow journals which issue an extt4 edition every time a Vanderbilt eats a biscuit.
 With the Duchess presiding at Ottawa, The New York Journal, or some other en- terprising yellow" would proceed to throw fits all over the place.
 They would hurl a special train to Ot- tawa containing an expert staff of TO- nance writers. and would issue special editions every seven minutes with two. foot headings:

Location Of Poultry Houses.

The location of the poultry house Is
a matter that should receive more at
tention than it usually does receive.
Whether few hens are to be kept
or many, mistake in this matter is
likely to prove unfortunate. Not long
ago the writer visited a newly estab-
lished poultry ranch where the owner
was devoting all his time to the busi-
ness of poultry raising. He had built
good houses, some OF them Of the
most expensive kind, and had con-
structed large yards for his fowls.
But the whole place of several acres
was apparently undrained, and the
soil was heavy in character. After s
rain, the water would be weeks in
draining off, and would remain for q
long time in the open bitches. 1t was
a wonder how the fowls could keep
healthy in such a place. The owner
reported the loss of good many
chicks from unrecognized diseases 1t
was therefore no surprise to the
writer to learn recently that he had
gone out of the business. Not far
from that location is another poultry
farm on similar undrained soil, and
where the disadvantages from this
cause are very great. Poultry houses
should be located on soil that is dry.
Ii heavy, 1t should be most thoroughly
drained. In the case of a poultry es.
tablishment of considerable magni-
tude this means large expense, but
1t is an expense that cannot be avoid
ed. Otherwise, the surroundings will
be damp and so will be the poultry
houses; and damp poultry houses in
Vlte diseases. When diseases once geS
into such places they are difficult to
eliminate. One of our best poultry
men declares that failure in the poul
try business is more often due to
filthy poultry houses combined with
dampness than to any other cause. A
dry porous soil $50 naturally or by
understanding controls to very
great extent the amount Of moisture
in the poultry houses. Such loca-
ton should be selected f possible. A
heavy underlined soil prevents the per-
collation. through it of the droppings,
and they are retained near the sur
face. This soon renders the surface
unclean. A sandy soil will absorb
these droppings whenever there are
rains to dissolve them. This is
matter of prime Importance in keep
ing fowls in a healthy condition.
Where farmers are too busy to give
their fowls suitable attention, it is
all the more necessary to, select a
naturally favorable location for the
poultry house.

included in this advice, and she tried
to realize it. The moment Mrs Swat

Certain microbes are known to ex.

be seen as individuals under the most

Is made known only by the slight opal

their effects in producing diseases
such as Inconsistencies, bovine peri

There is little hope that microscopes
will be perfected so that these invisi.
