New York Newspapers Now i'm Queer
Political Alignment.

New York, Sept. 24.-Politics not
only makes strange bedfelIows among
men. but colors the editorial pages OF
newspapers after many curious FASH
ions. The present campaign has
wrought some peculiar freaks among
the papers of New York
The sun. which has a remarkable
record as a political topper, has turn
ed some astonishing fiip-fiaps in the
last three months. Previous to the
Democratic national convention the
Sun mathematical the Republican ad-
ministration in it's most picturesque
style. This attitude was attributed to
J. P. Morgan, on the theory that he
controlled the Suns editorial page be

The sun didn't like the platform OF
the Democratic national convention,
especially its evasion of the money
issue, and announced that it would
support Roosevelt and Fairbanks. 1t

Republican ticket ever since.
The public scarcely had recovered
from its surprise over this somersault
before the sun sprang another sensa-
ton by boiling the nomination OF Hlg-
gins. the Republican candidate for
governor. This doubtless was intended
chiefly as a blow at Governor Odell,
whom the sun hates The Sun some
years ago had a long and disastrous
tight with the printers union, and the
governor earned its enmity by pardon
ing a convicted union leader
Since then the Sun has pursued
Oden with bitter wrath, and as Hig-

"CIDER', SMITH COMES BACK.
Replies to Willis Afoore's Criticism of
Long Distance Weather Prophets.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
Probably the time will never come
when weather topics will not be of
interest to someone. 1 copy from the
article by Willis Moore, chief of the
government weather bureau, on the
subject of long distance forecasting of
the weather.:
prof Willis L. Moore, chief of the
United States weather bureau, was a
guest of Prof. Cox yesterday. In the
afternoon he told the members of the
Chicago Press club in little talk that
walton stations in the Blue Ridge
mountains, which would be equipped
with the most modern appliances for
exploring the atmosphere, and would
result in giving the people a better and
more extensive weather forecasting
service. Prof. Moore states that quite
soon it will be possible for the fore
casts to be made for many days in
advance instead of for but thirty-six
hours as now obtains"
At the weather mems meeting in
Peoria, I'LL, this week the chief took
occasion to score the long distance
weather forecasters most numerically.
He says their methods are ''unscien-
tific." As he has no means of know
ing what methods they adopt how
can he state that2 OF course, the
weather bureau has the advantage of
unlimited means and the use of tele-
graphic rapid communication. The
barometer. of course, is their great
standby to determine what to expect.
1 have none of these advantages
and if the weather bureau in its
scoring has referenc to ''Cfder"
Smith, I have this to say, that the
Topeka State Journal, the leading
state paper of Kansas, has published
my long distance forecasts of the
weather for a number of years and
sent them out to all parts of the coun-
try and I have yet to hear the first
complaint about them.
Mr. Moore complains that the
papers have sent out these forecast
broadcast Why shouldn't they, if the
people want them? The consistency
of this talk about unscientific forecast
is well illustrated in the article copied
above. They propose the very system,
in effect, that 1 have had in vogue
longer than the life of the weather
bureau-about thirty years.
Weather forecasts are based upon
conditions prevailing at or about the
time they are made. I make my pre-
dictions for normal conditions, and
depend upon my long experience to
have storms and fair weather meet

The Evening Post offers the specta-
Gle OF a newspaper supporting the ma
the woods on the state ticket The
Post is a rival of the Sun as a topper,
but the Post is ruled by consistent
governing principle mad not by whims
or business enmities.
1t has been against the administra-
ton because it is against Imperialism,
a high protective tariff and the reten-
ton of the Philippines Consequently
IL could not support Roosevelt and
Fairbanks.
In an editorial the Post announced
that IL could not swallow Herricks the
Democratic nominee for governor, be-
and county boss in Albany while sit
ting on the bench as one of New
York's highest judges" This cannot
be called a bolt for the Post in no
sense is a Democratic paper 1t is an
Independent paper, and there was no
good reason to expect it to support the
Democratic state ticket, unless it was
above reproach.
TheHerald is also an independent pa
per and in an editorial attributed to the
pen OF James Gordon Bennett, il has
declared for Alton B. Parker for presi-
dent as a safer and more sane man
thanColoneI Roosevelt. Mr.. Bennett has
not taken stand yet on the stare
ticket, and consequently the Herald is
on the fence as to state politics.
The World, Times and American, be-
ing democratic papers, support both
national and state tickets. The World
admits that Herrick, the nominee for
governor, is open to criticism for play
ing the part of political boss while sit
ting on the bench, but ii gets around
that criticism by saying: This objec-
ton will not exist when he resigns from
the bench"
The Times speaks of Judge Herrick's
work as a local boss as IAN improprie-
ty and scandal but as a party organ
it swallows scandal and all, though
with a. WY face.
The Tribune and the Press. among
the morning papers, and the Globe and
the Mail among the evening papers are
Republican papers which support the
Republican national and state tickets
without apology or hesitation.

Do not present a bucking broncho to

Farm Topics

sREEN FOOD rs NECEssA1

GREEN FOOD rs NECESSARY.
Some who raise poultry object to
making such fuss about their food"
hence will not give them green food.
The best way to test the value of green
food is to take two lots of laying hens,
feeding one lot green food with the
grain several times a week and the
other lot One-third more grain without
the green food. The result will be that
the first lot of hens will lay the great
est number of eggs. There is no par
ticular food value or egg-making value
in the green food, but it has decided
action on the digestive organs which is
beneficial. The hens that are fed grain
wholly can not and do not give the
best returns in eggs.
AS stated before in this department
it makes little difference what the
green food is, provided the hens like it,
if it is fed with some changes (raw at
times and cooked other days. and in
some variety. Every farmer who
grows potatoes has enough very small
tubers to keep large flock of hens in
good laying condition all winter, and
fed in this way they will give better
returns than when fed to swine.-In-

The New Spanish Party.

A new party called the Democratic
Liberals has been formed in Spain,
with Montero Rios, Canelejas, and Gen
eral Lopez Dominguez at its head.
It is at present regarded as the hope of
Spain. The new policy favo~s a much
more active foreign policy. especially
with regard to France, England and
Portugal, with which countries it is
desirous Of having Spain come into
closer relations. The model adopted
is furnished by the alliances of the So
cialists and Radical Republicans in
France when Waldeck- Rousseau was
premier.
