The matter of feed is Of
tremendous Importance to the
farmer. Wrong feeding is
loss. Right feeding is profit.
The up-to-date farmer knows
what to feed his COWS to get
the most milk, his pigs to get
the most pork, his hens to
get the most eggs. Science.
But how about the children?
Are they fed according to
science, a bone food if bones
are soft and undeveloped, a
flesh and muscle food if they
are thin and weak and a blood
food if there is anemia?
SCOTS Emulsion is a mixed
food; the Cod Liver Oil in it
makes flesh, blood and muscle,
the Lime and Soda make bone
and brain. 1t is the standard
scientific food for delicate
children.

Great Sport!

The great 30O-nile road race for auto
mobiles was pulled off, Saturday on Long
island and only cost one life. 1t was
glorious victory for sport. The public was
not hurt in the least. The greatest care
had been taken to keep the public out of
harms way, in fact. The race promoters
had simply taken possession of the high
ways for the hours of the race, had put
complete stop to all ordinary traffic and
had put the railroad service under check
to meet the case. Yet there were some
narrow escapes. For instance, a train was
halted only with a few feet of margin be-
tween the cOw-catcher and one of the mile
a-minute machines Some of the whiz-cars
were dangerously close to the fences at
times and at the curves the wheels were
occasionally lifted on the outside. But
what of that? 1t was grand sport, and
then only one man was killed. He was
merely hired man, too. paid to assume
just such a risk a machinist whose en-
ployer was himself injured within an inch
of his life. And see what a great demon
stration the race afforded, a proof of the
going power OF certain makes of cars,
whose manufacturers will profit heavily
from the advertisement The contest
showed conclusively that it is possible to
uT-Ne machine at locomotive speed over
country roads, a fact which the community
should be glad to acquire even at the risk
of many deaths. Furthermore, the chauf-
feurs were exceedingly gentle and consid-
crate in their conduct during the race.
Clement, one of the competitors, who fin
ished second. said after the race:
SO The crowds often prevented me from
travelling at my highest speed. They pre-
vented my seeing the curves in the road
ana l was fearful of going through them
a seventy eighty miles an hour
AT several points where the people were
massed l was uncertain on the first few
circuits as to whether their presence did
not indicate sharp turns. and in each case
1 slowed down to forty or fifty miles an
hour. After the third time around L was
not often fooled"
Here is indeed generosity of a rare kind,
calculated to lift the odium that in some
places attaches to the sport. In view of
the gentle reatment of the public in this
case there can be no doubt whatever that
the people will withdraw Immediately all
objections to road-racing and turn the
highways over to the speeders whenever
and wherever they wish to risk their own
lives.

and the cars were started. whereas five
minutes should have sufiiced amply to I'M
ship the apparatus from the wagon. and.
with all the company's motormen and con-
ductors available for assistance, not to
mention the always ready spectators. every
thing made ready for the hoist. These de-
lays are not only productive Of much dis
content among the passengers who are kept
uselessly waiting for long periods. They
are a source of loss to the railroad conf
panies, for 1t requires but few such long
blockades to knock a hole in the balance
sheet. With the telephone system which
the city affords, repair wagon with It's
equipment should reach the scene Of almost
any fire within the city limits inside Of ten
or at the outside fifteen minutes, and the
elevation of the hose certainly should not
take as long as the trip Of the wagon
itself.

An Old-Timer.

I'm weary Of paint and powder
I'm weary Of eyebrows and curls:
And the busy soubrette who sings louder
Than all of the rest of the girls.
And my fancy turns to the past to dwell
On the lassie who used to recite
The story they tell j..
OF the curfew bell
Forbidden to sing tonight.
.-:.-.
I m tired of the leading lady, -t-H
With the frown and the alto voice.
In the past that's described as shady
No more can my heart rejoice.
To that curfew lassie-the village pride
My memory once more inclines,
Who sweetly tried,
And who almost cried
Because she forgot her lines
No queen of the drama is half so fair
AS the star Of that night, in sooth;
There Is none with such gold in her waving
hair,
And none with such artless youth
And how resent each ruthless year
That curtains the scenes of old!
I'd pay right dear
For place to hear
That tale of the curfew told.

Fire Lessons.

There is no disputing the fact that Wash
ington Is extremely fortunate in the matter
OF the fighting of fires. 1t has few big
biazes and these are almost invariably
subdued so promptly as to give them little
chance to spread. The broad streets and,
within certain limits, the abundant water
supply. and, above all. the high state of
discipline among the fire-fghters, all lead
to tie one general result of keeping the
fire loss at a gratifying minimum which
arouses the admiration of other cities. But
still there turks a grave danger here. which
can be measured. even If this city has not
been visited by a wholesale confagration
Every such fire as that of yesterday adds
It's mite to the proof that this menace ex-
lists Through supreme good fortune the
fire occurred during a calm day, and the
flames were confined to the structure In
which they originated. A brisk wind would
undoubtedly have spread the fire through
out the block and perhaps into other
blocks. AS II was, the conditions permit
ted the firemen to do their usual good work
and they had the fire under control in a
very short time, all things considered.
But the subduing of that blaze called for

Training Needed.

Yesterdays big fire furnished evidence
that the ''hurry-up' crews of at least one
of the local street railway companies are in
need of better training In the matter Of
putting up hose bridges to permit the cars
TO pass when the water lines have been laid
across tracks. One of these crews spent
fifteen minutes after arriving at the block
ade In erecting the bridge and giving the
stalled cars right of way. There were
amusing incidents in the course of the work
of clearing the track. With many helpers
perhaps too many-the process halted.
things were done only to be undone, the
hose was lifted in its trough to topple and

lifted in good order, one Of the tripods

An Agitation Postponed.

Senior Sandico did not deliver his fiery
grafton in Manila last night. The meeting
advertised failed. Only small number of
people responded. and they We're promptly
dismissed. Whence came the senors tip?
Manila? Hongkong? New York, q. S. Al
Tip there must have been; and from an
influential source. Your fiery oriental orator
takes a physical risk when he carries an
Grafton around beyond the time of its
promised deliverance. Pent-up eloquence
of that variety is the most powerful of all
linguistic explosives.
1t seems to be safe to cross out Manila.
The American authorities had declared
hands off. and tip from any other source
there would have carried no weight. The
junta at Hongkong might have spoken in
cipher by cable. 1t is composed of shrewd
men, who might promptly have made a cor
rect guess of the folly of Sandico's move
at this time. But a tip from New York,
or even Boston. would have commanded the
greatest attention. Coming from the scene
of the conflict in which independence for
the Philippines is at least a noisy factor,
such a tip would for the moment, speaking
in pure Castilian, have settled Senior San
dico's hash.
But the meeting has simply been post
poned. Senior Sandco's followers were told
to go home and await Developments
That Is to say, 1t is inadvisable to raise a
hulabaloo in the islands about independ-
ence now; but if. at little later day. the
skies clear and 1.-THE welcome voice of whis-
pering hope gives the signal, then the
cohorts in Manila and elsewhere are to
gather and Senior Sandico will speak his
fiery piece.
Here lies Judge Parker's danger. In
of his election he may expect imme
date help from Filipinos of the Sandico
Kidney toward carrying out not SO much
his views about independence as theirs.
They will proceed at once to show him
what they want, and insist upon his
operation First thing of all they will de-
mand a man in Governor Wright's
place for the short time the Americans will
need to wind up their business in the
islands. But suppose this should be re-
fused. Suppose Sandico should be told that
he had, in measure at least, misconcefved
the program of the administration at
Washington; that it did not contemplate
scuttle in day. or a year, or in a decade;
that by putting the anti-scuttle democrats
along with the republicans it could be seen
that the great majority of the American
electorate opposed scuttle in any form.
What would be the effect on the fiery
spirit of Senior Sandico? Another call to
the faithful TO rise and exterminate the
whole American population? A charge that
the Americans, like the Spaniards, were
false TO their promises?

the services Of virtually every piece OF the
Districts apparatus While they were at
work the rest of the city was left exposed
to the most serious danger. Had another
fire of any considerable seriousness occur
red between II and o'clock 1t would have
been impossible to fight 1t successfully. 1t
may be argued that such coincidence Is
not likely. Certainly 1t is the good luck OF
the capital that the coincidence has not yet
occurred, but the law of chances can not
be stretched forever in safety.
The national board of fire underwriters
recently recommended that the city's de-
partment be increased by at least seven
companies to render it equal to it's task OF
not only fighting the ordinary line of fires,
but of being prepared for great emer-
gency. With these seven additional COM
panes yesterdays fire could have been
subdued in the same time 1t was while
leaving the city sufficiently covered to re-
duce to minimum the risk of a big COIN
cidental blaze. Or, with greater concen-
tration Of apparatus the fire could have
been brought under ubjection-provided
there was sufficient water-in less time and
with less loss than was actually the case.
The fact is. Washington is working on
dangerously small margin. The firemen
know It, the Commissioners know it, and
the insurance people know it. and all are
clamOring for a remedy to cure the evil.
Congress has been told these facts repeat
edly and the responsibility has been for
mally placed there.
While the need for more apparatus is ur
gent, that for more water for fire-f1ghting
is not less So Had yesterdays fire been
of great proportions, spreading throughout
the block, 1t is to be doubted If the mains
could have furnished enough water to sup
ply the local engines and such others as
may have been summoned from Baltimore
and perhaps other cities. The proposition
to establish high-pressure service, to be
supplied from Fort Reno reservoir was
shelved at the last session by Congress be-
cause of the cost 1t is likely never again
to be possible to construct it so cheaply,
owing to the steady increase in the cost of
iron pipes If installed now it will not only
cost less than it will a few years hence, but
it will save the purchase of the additional
engines and other apparatus now needed to
bring the city up to standard and later to
keep pace with the natural growth. For
such service will be the equivalent of
many steamers and will put Washington on
a plane of fire resistance second to none in
the world in reliability and economy

Hays Retention Great Advantage to
the Nation.

From the New York Journal of Commerce.
The announcement made the other day
that, III the event of President Roosevelt's
reelection, Mr.. John Hay will continue to
be the head of the Department of State
Will undoubtedly make a great many votes
for the republican ticket This journal,
while neutral in politics. is compelled to
recognize the relation of the principles and
practice of political parties to the material
interests of the country. From the first
year of Mr.. Hays incumbency of the office
OF Secretary of State this country has had,
in regard to Asiatic and other problems, a
foreign policy which has been at once in
telligible, consistent and vigorous. 1t has
been characterized by perspicacity and re-
sourcefulness which have commanded the
admiration of the world, and it has never
been wanting In that combination of frank
ness and dignity which BELTS the attitude
of this country toward other nations. 1t
may be confidently affirmed that no other
change which would attend the election of
a democratic President would have bear
ing national polity so significant as
that of the replacement of the present Sec
rotary of State by in sympathy with
the ideas of Judge Parker. That their lit
eral application would make very short
work of all that our country has gained in
external influence during the last five years
does not admit Of doubt.

Hefiu Should Retire

]. T. Heflin represents the fifth Alabama
district In Congress, and is a candidate for
reelection. In speech to his constituents
the other day he used this language:
There they sat, Roosevelt and Booker,
and If some CZolgosz or one of his kind had
thrown bomb under the table no great
harm would have been done the country
IF Booker Washington takes hand in
this thing, it will be one time / will ask
him to step out 1 will ask him to hands
off, and you know we have a way of influ-
encing down here"
No small degree of indignation has been
| aroused by his deliverance, and, influenced
| by it, Mr.. Heflin explains that his reference
to the President was jocular. He stands,
however to what he said about Booker
Washington.
We are told that this man does not speak
for the people of Alabama in his reckless
suggestion as to the President, and we may
believe it. But mere disavowal of his ut
terances Is hardly enough. The people Of
Alabama should go further. They should
make it necessary for him to retire from
the field. The seat would not be lost to the
democracy. Any man wearing the party
label could be elected, and We may be sure
that there are many democrats in the dis
trict worthy of recognition and competent
for the duties of national legisla tor. -Four
weeks of the campaign remain, and in that
time a new nomination could be made.
There are two reasons why this step
should be taken. Alabama, for twenty
years and more. has maintained a high
reputation in both houses of Congress. In
the Senate Morgan and Pugh and Pettus
have been among the leaders. while in the
House Wheeler and Herbert and Bankhead
have been greatly respected. All have re-
sponded to the utmost requirements of
aggressive partisanship, and in the cases
of Mr.. Morgan and General Wheeler we
have witnessed displays of the broadcast
patriotism. A state with such a record
should be careful of 1t.
The second reason is that 1t is impossible
| to think of Mr.. Heflin as able to render
| his constituents any service in Congress
! now. He is a marked man-for folly, at
| the very least. However much his talk
| may tickle the groundfings in his district 1t
| has repulsive sound to men of the better
grade of both parties 1t is easy for such a
man, when he gets into his stride, to air
| his prejudices and his remedies, but he
| has no message for the country at large,
and in a position of national consequence
and responsibility he becomes a reproach
to his section and his associates.

Mr.. Bryan "Saving Indiana. /"
rom the New York World

From the New York World.
Mr.. Bryan, having declared that "a Roose-
welt victory in Nebraska Is certain this
fall" is to be sent into Indiana by the
democratic national committee to aid Judge
Parker's candidacy in that state.
If Mr.. Bryan has not sufficient influence
with the voters of his own state, which he
carried In 1896, to give the democratic
ticket a fighting chance there, 1t Is not easy
to see how he can greatly benefit Judge
Parkers cause in Indiana, which he lost
both in 1896 and in 1900.
Does the national committee think the
election Of a democratic President next
month will be greatly promoted by the
speeches of a man who confesses his lack
of sympathy with the democratic ticket by
declaring that when the election is over
l want to renew the fight for economic re-
form"-meaning "for populism"?

A Just and Generous Action.
From the Philadelphia Record.

The President has done a just and gen.
erous thing in revoking the order of the
commanding officer of the Schuylkill ar
senal regarding the manufacture of SOL
diers' uniforms 1t Is quite likely that the
work could be done little cheaper by con-
tractors than by the seamstresses who have
be little too much like the sweating
process that has made the clothing trade
notorious, and among the women who have
been working on uniforms there are very
many widows and daughters of soldiers,
and the government certainly should not
drive hard bargain with them.
