An Exciting Contest,


Cincinnati, April 4.-One of the most
exciting mayoralty campaigns in the his
tory of this city closed tonight with a
monster open air meeting by the Repub-
licans. The Fusionists closed their cam
paign last night with a meeting in Music
Hall, which was largely attended. There
are four tickets in the field, but the
fight is between the Republicans headed
by the present mayor Julius Fleschmann
and the citizens municipal ticket with NJ.
E. ingalls, as their candidate for mayor.
The registration for the election is
very large and both parties claim they

If the apple trees are of good varieties,
why do you want to graft them with
Others? If they have given you no fruit
in twenty years is there any reason to
suppose that grating them over will
make them bear? 1t seems to me
that what your orchard needs is culti-
walton and enrichment of the land
to get the trees into a healthy growing
state. By the time you see this
it will be too late to graft this spring
The scions for grating should be
cut in the fall or winter and buried IN
the ground till the buds on the trees be-
oin to swell. Then the scions hay
ing been kept back by being buried in
the ground will have a better chance to
grow, as the sap is active in the branches
But with seions and stock both swelllng'
the chances are against success
Then. too. as / have said, the putting
Of other varieties on your trees Will not

thoroughly and give it a good coat OF
manure and work the land I'LL

the peas are dead in the IaiI
chop them up with a cutaway mario"
and SOW rye as winter cover, and give

again till July and repeat. Then whcn
YOU have gotten the trees into good
growth seed the orchard down to grass
and cut it several times during the sum
mer. but let it all lie to decay on t'e
ground. Then give annually a dressing
of acid phosphate and potash, and never
let any animal Craze on the orchar1i
and make no hay from it, and my word
for it. YOU will have all the apples the
trees are capable of bearing. A crop oil
apples removes more mineral plant tood
from the soil than three crops of wheat
of twenty bushels per acre, and yet men
wonder why their orchards do not bear
when they are taking hay or other crops
off the land and still expect the trees I'd

the failure of orchards in North Carolina
is due to starvation and nothing else.
Then. of course, if you want good fruit
you must spray the trees with Bordeaux
mixture and arsenites to check fungus
diseases and insects.

COMMENTS ON
RECENT EVENTS

There is no great comfort for the
ship subsidy people in the present
state of the ship building industry in
the United States. We even fear
that our old-time enemies, the free
traders, may try to extract a crumb
of comfort out of the situation IN
their general misery over our pros
perity under protection, The Amer
lean ship-building industry has been
protected beyond that of any other
country. because foreign built ships
are absolutely shut out of our domes-
tic trade and out of ocean trade un-
der our flag In addition to this,
ship building has enjoyed more govern
ment patronage than any other
industry and has been allowed TO
have it's own way and take its own
time about doing the work.
If any American industry should
thrive, it is this. The reverse seems
to be true. The ship-building in
dustry was the first to feel the pinch
of unfayorable business conditions
some years ago The largest indus
trial bankruptcies in this country
have been those of ship yards. Of
all the inflated trusts the ship-bulld-
ing corporation was the first 10 break
down in the financing process. IL
ruined the big trust company thaG
tried to underwrite it, and now
after a succession of financial dlff1cul-
ties it has passed into receivershlp.
1t is true that the ship building trust
was "watered' with monstrous dis
regard for the insignificant value be-
hind it's inflated securities. But If
any industry could fill itself with
'swater' safely, one would suppose 1T
would be that which has enjoyed the
most protection and patronage from
the government.
The academic free traders will use
this instance to enforce their theory
that government protection is only
an injury to an industry; that it
gives false stimulus, sure to be
followed by fatal reaction, and pro-
syokes reckless violation of the laws
of trade, certain to be followed by
retribution sooner or later. There
must be this much truth in the
notion anyway: The industries that
have protited most under protection
have been those that have received it
in moderation, and would not have
been entirely helpless without it,
Apparently protection can foster and
hasten natural growth; but it can
not make an industry prosper where
natural conditions are unfayorable.

More Than Your business.

A man says; "What business is it of
any one except myself, If l close my
eyes and do not see the Lord? Does it
hurt any one but me? Who has right
to interfere or urge mef" Indeed 1t Is
the business of other men than you; 1t
is the whole worlds business whether
or not you are a Christian. Indeed it
does rob other souls than yours If you
will not live spiritually and see the
truth which God is showing to your
soul. If there are men whom, being
yourself Christian, you might bring
to Christ, then you rob not only your
self, but them, If you refuse to come to
Christ. The window which makes 1t
self dark darkens not merely itself,
but also all the room into which the
light might have shone through it..

More Presumption Than Faith

which the Lord has fixed. A certain

their beast proposed to leave him on
the outskirts until they should have
accomplished their mission. Don't tie
the horse,n said one, "but trust in
Providence that he will not run away"
No. said the other, "tie the horse
first and then trust in Providence"
First obey, then trust Lutheran.

Reverence for authority belongs to
all true religion. Obedience to law Is
a mark of piety. Impatience of re.
straint and contempt for rules are not
a sign of nobleness of nature, but rather
of a craven spirit. The thirst for free
dom is not an irritability against prop
err control. 1t is rather the inner long
ing for harmony between self and ones
surroundings. Liberty Is not power to
do as one chooses, but ability to do as
one ought Absolute independence Is
unknown in a world where all are re-
lated in work and privilege. Relation
to others means mutual dependence
upon each other Each, then, has a
right to do as he pleases, only as he
pleases to do right. We are born into
a world which has fixed conditions of
existence which we cannot largely
change. We must use things as we
find them and make them as much
better as we can
We do not largely have the choice of
our fatherland and form of govern
ment. We are born into our position.
A few may change the land of their
residence and the rulers, but the vast
majority of men must live and die in
the land and under the government
where they were born.
Every Christian must settle what is
his duty to the state Of which he Is a
citizen.
The first duty of every one under all
governments Is to have proper respect
for the rulers and laws of the realm
and to obey them so far as they do not
conflict with moral right.
If any certain law be plainly wrong
and to obey 1t would be sinful then
one must resist such law, strive by
all Just means to have 1t changed and
expect until 1t is changed to suffer the
penalty of violating it and by such suf-
fering patiently endured assist in its
repeal and the enactment of the right
rule.
Wherever the form Of the govern
ment allows free discussion and par
ticipation of the citizens in election of
officers and making of laws 1t is the
duty of every Christian citizen to use
his utmost endeavor and highest abil-
ity to secure Just and right laws and
their proper enforcement
To consent to any injustice or wrong
of any kind In order to make any pri-
vate gain Is crime and sin. To gain
office for self or others by any form
of bribery or coercion. by threats or
promises of favors is Ubiquitous and
brands one as unfit for Office or citi-
zenship To know of such deeds and
not to protest and work against them
is unmanly and cowardly. We must
be upright and make our nation noble.
