KILLING RAILWAY WEEDS.
Process Made Necessary Under Tror

ica Sun in Ecuador.
! One of the most difficult and ex-
pensive problems that railway conn
panies in tropical countries have to
contend with is keeping down the rank
growth of tropical foliage, weeds etc.
along the roadbed
In the tropical belt of Ecuador
which extends from the foothills of the
western cordillera of the Andes Noun
tains to the Pacific coast, the humidity
averages 81 per cent in winter and
until the end of spring. The extreme
humidity and the intense equatorial
sun makes this tropical belt one vast
dollhouse.
The Guayaquil and Quito Railway,
which crosses this dense jungle belt,
some sixty odd miles in width, connec-
ting Guayaquil on the west coast with
Quito, the capital, three hundred miles
distant, and at 10000 feet elevation,
has solved the weed problem in a sat
isfactory manner by spraying the right
of way with a solution composed
largely Of arsenic and nitre.
AT Barraganetal, midway of the trop-
ical belt, the company has erected a
plant for preparing and distributing the
poison. by IledIlS Ol large VdlS stI1Q
steam pipes the ingredients are boiled
and dissolved into a strong solution,
which, brought to the proper stage, is
drawn off into a large tank, constructed
like regular railway tank. From this
tank the spraying car is filled, and by
pipes arranged at the end of the car the
solution is sprayed to any degree de-
sired in the same manner that city
street is sprinkled. The pressure to
maintain an even force is obtained from
the air brake system on the engine.
When the rainy season starts in the
weed killer plant begins operations. The
first spraying is done thoroughly, and
on this trip tank car full will properly
spray from three to four miles. In
about ten days another spraying is Civ
en- and this time tankfull will prop
erly spray from six to eight miles.
After this trip spraying at intervals Of
thirty days prove sufficient to keep down
the growth, which would otherwise
clog the rails so badly in few weeks
that all traffic would be stopped.

AN ORATOR AND AN ISSUE.

Colonel Henri WatterSon spoke TO
the assembled editors at the New York
banquet where the journalists of the
unterrified got together in one sense
but failed to do so on the plan and
issues of their campaign. Watterson
efflofescently rhetorical, bent with the
responsibilities of oratorical reputa-
ton and fervid with the true Kentucky
spirit, presumably heightened in intenS
sity by the other and less volatile spirit
which has made Kentucky famous in
the Milwaukian sense, grasped an issue
while he clutched at the table. He
saw the president as an usurper, dig
cling mines beneath the constitution
like a new Guy Fawkes under another
parliament house, saw the blacks
lloisted over the whites of the south,
by an unkindly autocrat, the ship OF
civil reform scuttled and reciprocity
with it's throat cut.
Mr.. Watterson is an extravaganza.
He is the Thomas orchestra playing
rag time. This blast upon his bugle
horn is werth thousands of votes, not
to his own but to the republican
party. He lisa fshwife railing Bel
lingsgate in the, voice of a prima
donna. His tone and person pleases
but no one believes, word that he
says He has simply set the ISLANDERS
of the special interests and the curses
of the niger haters to the music of
his diction Personally Col Watterson
lost little, everyone will listen when he
strikes his harp and the mellif1uous
numbers flow, but the untruthful,
ident has lost his party thousands OF
votes and strengthened the popular
impression that the democracy has no
issue to urge or honest ground to
stand upon. Every democratic as
sault upon Roosevelt's honesty and
sincerity is a notable contribution to
fire the southern heart where the
democracy has a monopoly of votes,
but he must disgust the sincere dem
ocrats of the north and west. North
ern democratic leaders recognize MI.
Watterson's mistake, which is the mis-
take of Mr.. Parker, who also mas
trennors over the constitution. The
anti-Roosevelt issue is dangerous
one "Back to the woods. Such
swashbucking may win votes in Ken
tucky but it will not do the work in
anv of the doubtful states" sneers
the New York Evening Post to the
orator. John A. Kern, democratic
candidate for governor of Indiana,
saws: 1T is the kind Of an issue
which must be handled most cautions
" in the press and on the stump. The
discussion of Rooseveltism, as it is
called. ought to be intrusted' only to
discreet, conservative men, The fact
is that the issue and the orator were
well met There is much cry and
little wool to be had of either Roose-
yeltism is no issue, and Colonel Wat
terson is eminently qualified to speak
to it. And the republican campaign
fund could not be better applied than
to his expenses.

the WISDOM OF THE GAP" MAN.

Literary men, who deal in the de-
lineation of human nature, should go
to the writer of advertising, consider
his ways and be wise. He may not
understand the deepest under currents
of humanity, but he knows his crowd.
The novelist may be better posted on
types and individualities, but the good
ad writer knows the composite human
race as Hugo and the soul analysts
never dreamed of doing.
Just now a daring auto driver Is
giving exhibitions over Iowa and the
"ad' writer is busy. The danger-de-
flying dash against time with death in
the tonneau, is the feature OF the ex-
hibition. The record of the terrible
machine, not in speed, but as killer
is the burden of his strain. A driver
and two spectators killed at Milwau-
kee, eight broken bones for a driver
and two dead fair officials in Maine,
three spectators crushed to death in
Ohio, twenty killed and injured by the
machine when crazy Barney Oldfield
drove into crowd at st. Louis, all
graphically described, is reasonable
attraction for others to come and be
killed. The whole is featured as fool
hardy feat, dangerous alike to spec
tators and performer, wherein, II
some one is not killed or fatally in
iured the meeting has failed of it's APP
parent object.
The "ad' man is right He knows
his humanity. Mankind seems to be
universally touched with morbidity
Let Diovolo loop the loop, a woman
do the slide for life, or any human
being put his existence in peril in the
performance of some death deriding"
act, and the crowd comes gaping and
goes away half satisfied if the per-
former escapes.
A pre-arranged railway collision,
where two trains are sent together at
full speed, draws a crowd of curious
from hundreds of miles. Two are
killed when the boilers explode upon
contact the gathering is great sue
cess, and the magazines publish pic
lures and full accounts of the affair.
If a man were to agree in good faith
to sit over 100 pounds of dynamite
while it were exploded. a township
would scarcely hold the crowd that
1t is all very foolish and morbid, bur
it seems to be average human nature.
There is nothing to be done about it,
except to legally forbid such exhibit
lions and enforce the law. Men and
women have always crowded to the
scene of a legal execution, jammed
and pushed to catch a glimpse OF the
victim of violent death and crowded
court rooms to see murderers, hear
the story Of their crimes and watch
the accused fight for his life in court.
It is likely that they always will as
long as they are permitted to do SO.
But the "ad' writer knows his bus
mess While the maker of lasting lit
erature labors and agonizes thru a vol
ume of 900 pages the ad writer
touches the electric button and gets
immediate results. The volume may
rest for a hundred years upon library
shelves. The ad man gets business to-
morrow. He knows his mankind and
gets results and that is what he is
for. But the inclination to wish that
he knew less or that common human
ity knew mere is irresistible.

ONE WAY.
TCj,,,,v C;tr To,,rro11

There is one way in which unionfsm
may prove of permanent service to
unskilled labor. If the scope of or
ganized labor can be extended so that
it includes in it's membership a large
proportion of unskilled labor thruout
the country the union principle can be
used effectively to better the condition
of unskilled as we'll as skilled labor.
This can be done by providing that
union labor will not compete against
union labor. Such extension of the
scope Of organized labor is logical
enough, but it is a vast undertaking.
1t means that the regulations Of UNI
ionism must be accepted by millions
instead of tens of thousands. Grant
ing that the accomplishment of the
task is feasible, it must be admitted
that the progress of the movement will
be slow and beset by many difficult
ties.
While conditions remain as they are,
and this rnay be said from the view
point of the intelligent unionist, it
would seem better for skilled union
labor to remain at work rather than
risk losing it's own advantage in q
vain endeavor to help unskilled labor
which of itself is unable to contribute
materially to the strength of the or
ganization. This policy can not be
denounced as selfish, for the sympathy
of men who have jobs is of more
practical utility than the sympathy
Of men who are out of jobs.

THE CHURCHES AND THE TIMES.
[Waterloo Reporter.]
These hard times about which the
democratic party is making so much
noise and so many faces seem to be
felt severity in religious circles of
Iowa. In the past two weeks there
has come under the observation of
the Reporter three occasions where
Iowa churches have been holding cele-
brations i'm honor of the extinguish-
met of church debt. The form of
jollification has been in burning the
the mortgage which had been paid off
and was finally cancelled by fire.
This seems somewhat out of of har-
mony with the calamity song of the
democrats. If the cost of living is
treading on the heels of the oppor-
tunity to earn, how does it come that
people are able to keep up church
contributors and supply enough funds
to cancel mortgages. 1t was generally
supposed that when the wolf was
chasing the wage Garner into the door
there would be a manifest inclination
to start the economical buzz-saw on
the contributions to the church. 1t ap-
pears from existing conditions that
the expected has not happened. 1t
may be that Iowa people will do with
out necessities to keep the church go
ing, btu it is more likely that they are
better able tain ever to pay the cost
of maintaining those glorious institu-
tons that teach morality and incul-
cate better citizenship, and that de-
mocracy is once more caught with
campaign lie upon it's lips. The
churches do not appear to be Ian
gushing.
