filed, 10 lower its dignity by permitting
himself TO be drawn into political con-
troversy of a personal nature. During
the last national campaign, the presi-
dent once said that running for the
same Office that he then occupied he
was naturally subject TO criticism, and
it was for the people to say whether he
deserved that criticism.
In striking contrast with the attitude
of his predecessor. the present eXecu-
tive of the nation, at the first exposure
of the influences allied with his candi-
dacy. flies into a tantrum, and from
his official residence in the White
House sends forth letter of denun-
citation of his opponent, the burden of
which is that 4. The President" have
been accused. Admitting what repub-
licans have all along contended
against, that the president alone was
responsible for Cortelyou being made
national chairman, the strenuous chief
executive closes his political cOmmuni-
cation with the promise that if reflect
ed he will give everyone "a square
deal"
Apart from the application of the
phrase. Il. The President" a term
that is never used by chief executives
except in official documents, and then
as modestly as possible and in the
name of the people, the important one
at the helm of state. declares that he
demanded the placing of CortelyOu
at the head of the national republican
committee, because he wanted it seen
to that his own campaign was proper
~ conducted-and the selection was
made be it remembered. before the
national republican convention assem-
bled. And yet there are republicans
who believe that the work of that con
ventiOn was not cut and dried in ad.
vance.
If that 4. The President" letter does
not prove the boomerang of this cam
paign there are many people in the
country who will miss their guess.

Are There No Issues?

New York Journal: The leaders of
| the party in power say the democrats
have no issues Mr. Roosevelt, in his
strong. ingenious and dashing letter,
SAYS the adversary sets up false issues,
charges them against the republican
party and knocks them down. There
are other things in this campaign than
the personality of any one officeholder.
Some of them are pictured in the car
! toon. The foot of the trusts is on I'm
Gle Sans back If he wants to build
ship the trusts tell him how much
he must pay for the iron. If he wants
TO coal his ship the trust fixes the price
he must pay. If he wants TO buy food
for his soldiers the meat trust dictates
the amount he must pay and ships
him rotten stuff. If ne would bring
their dead bodies home for burial the
coffin trust and the railroad trust fix
| the toll and he must stand and deliver.
To the left of the brute is the vul-
ture. Greed is patient. 1t awaits its
chance. 1t is sleepless. 1t had its
chance when Uncle Sam needed mon
iey. II forced him TO issue bonds.
When Uncle Sam wanted 10 sell them
in the open market he found that
Greed had cornered the supply of mon
| ey 1t was Greed like a usurer. that
took the bonds and resold them at a
great profit. Greed has its servants
in the senate. and do you remember
| how il sought to give Itself the power
of issuing money on railroad bonds and
other securities of its own creation ?
| That hill is NOT dead Vet
Four years ago the trust began to
walk through the land The great
captain of industry was the beasts
keeper. 1t begot Steel. Steel took
away from Uncle Sam $500. 600.
SteeTs brother. the Ship Trust, got
$50, 100000. All these trusts three
years ago were capitalized at 100000.
100000 You can not grasp this
amount with your mortal brain. Uncle
| Sam was forced TO take all the stuff
and pay for it. 1t was worthless, but
the headsman said il was good and
would make the era of prosperity linn
| itless in duration.
Uncle Sam is a symbol in this pic
ture. but Uncle Sam is only another
name for you-the people of the United
States Will the people forget the
things that have happened during the
| last four years? These things should
be issues in this campaign. They will
be issues some day and the people will
settle them as they wish.

His Record a Proud One.

Opponents of Judge Parker have call
ed him al untried man-a man with
out a record

ly possible. For upwards of 80 years
Judge Parker has been making his
public record. 1t is spotless. His com
plete integrity has never been qucs-
toned. by either proof. or assertion,
that deserves serious consideration.
His large ability is universally con-
coded. His Soundness of judgment.

have always been acknowledged. From
his earliest years he has commanded
the Unbounded confidence of the men
Of his own vicinage. who have been
his judges. and who have been main
~ instrumental in placing him in the
public position which he has flied with
so much dignity and honor.
To say such a man has no public
record is 10 make a grave misuse Of
language. His public record consists
in the absence of adverse criticism
of his public conduct by any compe-
tent authority. That fact comedies and
proves the ability and integrity with
which he has discharged all the duties
OF the high offices which he has filled
from his early manhood.
The calm dignity. born of the CON
seriousness of power. which he has al
ways displayed on the bench of his ma
tive state constitutes evidence above

THE writer has decided that it will

Sow Eating Her Pigs.

A correspondent in Farmers Guide
in discussing this subject says: Il
have lost more pigs this spring by the
SOW eating them than l have lost in
this way before in the last fifteen
years. The sows We're treated as in
former years so far as ! can learn.
Can you account for the fact? is there
cause and is there remedy? When
a SOW once eats her pigs can she be
trusted afterwards. or is it best to put
her in the fattening pen?
The eating of pigs by the sow is an
indication of an abnormal condition OF
the appetite. The exact cause of this
condition is sometimes very hard to
find. Costiveness or constipation is
often a common cause. For this reaS-
it is always important that the
sow before the far.owing period be
fed on light feeds and at narrowing
time feed little and only sloppy food,
such as bran mash. Give her all the
water she wants at all times. The fact
that she is fed on sloppy food does not
in the least prevent her from needing
water. 1t is also important that the
SOW, prior to narrowing, be allowed an
ample supply of those unnatural foods,
such as earth, cllarc aal, coal and wood.
ashes. ETC., and whenever it is possible
she should be allowed a free range
and not be confined upon cement or
board floors all the time. All this, we
believe will aid in preventing a SOW
from eating her pigs, but even with
good care and proper feed it some
times happens that she will destroy
:, ,ffs, ri,n for Fa,.
these conditions Gun not be located
and still other means of prevention
must be turned to. This VIII cause u
close watching OF the SOW as farrow-
ing time draws 'aear, but this care
should always be had. Many times 4
SOW needs aid at such q time ana
careful watch should he kept of her
until her pigs are born and have
nursed at least once.
When a SOW is found eating her
pigs, attention must be given her at
once. Administer & laxative at once
and remain with her Some breeders
have recommended rubbing the backs
of the pigs with an infusion of aloes or
moistening their coats with kerosene.
These are supposed to spoil the sow's
relish for raw pig. One should be
cautious not to get too much kerosene
on their tender skins, however A re-
port of the department of agriculture
says: THE SOW ca often be brought
to terms by pouring mixture of ten
to twenty grains of spirits of camphor
with one to three o., tincture of opium,
in the ear. The SOW will Immediately
lie down on the side to which the APP
plication was made. and remain quiet
in this position for several hours, with
out interfering with her pigs: and on
recovery from her stupor will have
lost her irritability in regard to them"
1t is Nlso said that the eating of pigs
by the parent SOW can be readily pre-
vented by rubbing them over with
brandy, and making the same applica
ton about the nose of the sow herself.
Often no remedy Isl needed other than
remaining with the SOW until all pigs
are born and seeing that all are given
their first meal. '2etting the sow at
such times and seeing that everything
goes right may be all that is needed.
A sow that has once eaten her pigs
is quite liable to do so again.
