SENATOR QUAY

The careful historian who weighs
the acts of men as they affect tor
good or evil the community or the
nation, and impress themselves on
the public mind as incentives to q
higher morality or tend to lower
the tone and standard of popular
thought and action, will find in the
life of the senator who has just
passed away to render his account
before the highest judgment seat
something both to commend and
condemn. No human life is free
from the latter quality and those
who live largely in the public eye
and whose every act is closely scan.
ned and whose motives are ever
subject to question by his opponents
must needs incur harsh judgments.
His friends and followers will find
In his life much to commend and
see virtue where others find only
vice, That Senator Quay was great
in some qualities of mind his most
vigorous enemies will admit He
was persistent, steadfast, resource
full and a master of politics. He was
a born leader of men. He would
probably have admitted that in
many instances doubtful means
justified the ends. From his view
point there was no other way to
accomplish a result which in his
opinion would be of great public
utility. Weighed as a statesman he
cannot be said to have ever original.
ed any large public measure, but his
counsel was potent in shaping the
trend of public affairs. He was a
politician in the widest and fullest
if not in the best sense of the word
Mckinley was a politician but his
mind moved along a different plane.
Senator Quay was prominently a
friend to the Office seeker and by
means Of this he built up a most
cohesive and compact political
machine in this state in which he
was the acknowledged power. He
was feared by enemies, traduced by
foes, maligned by many, loved by
friends and won in a measure the
respect of all for certain qualities Of
leadership which he manifested.
Over his acts which have been SO
fully commented on we pass nc
public Judgment. His life work il
now before the student Of history
his motives, save as they are mani.
fest in his acts are forever conceal
cd, it is for us to say of the dead
nothing but good Let each one
draw from his life such lesson as n,
may, remembering only that will

he may be judged.

Supervisors Of the river townships
win have to recognize the fact that
the main road is too marrow for safe
travelling and in several places short
turns and wayside bushes prevent
seeing ahead. On a thoroughfare so
much used by vehicles of all kinds,
including automobiles. it is essential
20 the safety of the travelling public
shat the way be made wider and all
distractions to vision removed so
far as possible. A little Judgment
in working the roads would obviate
much Of this difficulty without any
extra cost. The day has come when
there is an absolute necessity for
this improvement and if road OIL
cials do not respond to tho demand
there may be trouble and expense in
store for them. Prudent citizens Of

but also one Of public occasion.
Automobiles will use the roads and
they have rights. It is no use TO
decry them or abuse the drivers if
they exercise proper caution in run
ming their machines. Talk against
them will not avail. They are here
not only to remain but to increase in
number and road conditions must
be made reasonably safe for them
and those driving teams. The pru-
dent supervisor will see that this is
done 80 far as may be possible.

The act of 1889, repeating the first
section of the fence law Of 100
which required cornfelds, etc., to be
enclosed with a fence OF specified
height, removed the obligation
Heretofore existing to protect crops
from cattle or horses Of others. If
a farmer sees proper he may neglect
to build fences, save for his own
purposes in caring for his stock, and
also his share Of line fences, and if
he does so elect he can recover
damages for trespass by rowing cattle
Of his neighbors. This, in brief,
makes it incumbent for every man
to care for his own stock ard see
that it does no damage to the crops
of others. This law, while con.
demned by many, is in communities
generally an economy. Formerly
a farmer was compelled to build and
maintain fences at a great expense
to protect his crops, probably in
many cases the cost of the fence
greatly exceeded in value the rowing
herds he feared, and his neighbo1
could turn out his cattle at will
knowing there could be no recovery
against him for the fences were not
of a lawful height. Now it is in.
cumbent for every man to be at the
expense of caring for his own stocE
and the farmer who has no stock oi
keeps it confined is saved the trouble
and expense of building and main
tanning many rods of fence which
serves HIM no useful purpose.

and the liberal advertising Of the
people of this section the town never

day with parties seeking a place to

great practical result.

Look After the Posts

If catapillar nests appear on the
fruit trees they should be destroyed.
A ball of twine, or a rag, soaked in
kerosene attached to a pole will
enable one to burn them out. The
San Jose scale infests many trees
and unless measures are taken to
destroy the pest the trees will be
killed. The currant worm is now
apt to trouble the bushes. Pow
dered hellebore busted over them
is effective. A pepper box, or
any small tin can with perfora-
tions in the bottom. can be used.
The remedy is simple and cheap and
no one should allow the bushes to be
destroyed. Currants are an excel
lent and most healthy fruit,and eaten
with sugar or baked in pies are not
bad to take.

and the magnificent structures he erected.
He rebuilt the ancient city of Delhi upon
new site adorned 1t with public buildings
of unparalleled cost and beauty, and re-
ceived his subjects seated upon the cele-
brated peacock throne, massive chair OF
solid gold covered with mosaic figures of
diamonds, rubies, pearls and other precious
stones. 1t cost FL, 100000 sterling, which is
$50, 500, 600 of our money, even in those
times, when jewels were cheap, compared
with the prices of today. In 1923 Nadr
Shah, the King of Persia, swooped down
upon India and carried this wonder of the
world to his own capital, together with
about $500, ,000,0 900 in other portable prop
erty.
There are many good traits in the char
acter of Shah Jehan. Aside from his ex-
travagance, his administration was to be
highly commended. Under his rule India
reached the summit of it's wealth and pros
perity, and the people enjoyed liberty and
peace, but retribution came at last, and his
sons did unto him as he had done unto his
father, and much more also. They could not
wait until he was ready to relinquish power
or until death took the scepter from his
hand, but four of them rebelled against
him, drove him from the throne and kept
him prisoner for the last eight years of
his life. But scarcely had they overthrown
him when they began to quarrel among
themselves, and Aurangzeb, the fourth SON,
being the strongest among them, smplified
the situation by slaughtering his three
brothers, and was thus able to reign unmo-
Tested for more than half a century, until
he died in 1907, eighty-nine years old. His
last days were embittered by not unnat-
ural fear lest he should suffer the fate of
his own father.
