victions, and the courage to express
them. Let the contest be waged fairly
between an out and out Blythe man
one who thinks and says the railroads
are assessed too high, that they are
the personal property of their owners
and that the public has no right to in
terfere with their operation or man
agement much less assume to dictate
rates. There are plenty Of men who
believe these things. There are great
many men who If elected. to the offlce
of governor would conduct the office
strictly along these lines with refer
ence to the railroads. Let the cham
pions of these ideas produce their best
man, and support him ON a platform
declaratory Of their honest convictions
and intentions if given authority.
Rest assured this will never be done,

Hence the advocates Of these ideas
adopt other devices to accomplish
their aims. One of those used oftener
than all others combined is "compro-

ers They qualify the statement by
saying that they want to so slow and
be sure that they do not make any
mistakes. They term themselves con-
servatives. When urged to action they
look wise and say "let us consider for
a time" They approach the progress
sive when nominations are to be made
with the proposition that nothing can
be fairer than compromise. Why,
they say, we have known all along
that you We're right. We agree with
you that there should be some i'm
provement in our laWs-some revi-

us to nominate men who are not radi-

what we intend to do during the

platforms are intended to get in on

About Rheumatism.

There are few diseases that inflict
more torture than rheumatism and
there is probably no disease for which
such varied and useless lot Of rem
edies have been suggested. To say
that it can be cured, is, therefore. a
bold statement to make, but Chamber
lain's Pain Balm, which enjoys an ex-
tensive sale, has met with great sue
cess in the treatment of this disease.
One application of Pain Balm will re-
lieve the pain, and hundreds of suf-
fererS have testified to permanent
cures by its use. Why suffer when
Pain Balm affords such quick relief
and costs but trifle? For sale by all

famous in those days for their salads

stances the ailments were not inner

| no hesitation in breeding good mares
who are thus affected. But there
| is another class of brood mares
| who inherit certain ills from their
ancestors. These include such trou-
bles as swollen limbs, spavins. ring
| bones and certain skin diseases. To
breed from such mares would be haz-
ardous indeed. The danger would be
present that those diseases would be
transmitted to the progeny, or that at
least a tendency toward the same
would be transmitted so that they
would be liable TO appear at some
time in the future when the predis-
posing causes were present. The
temptation, therefore to breed from
such mares should invariably be re-
sisted. 1t would be far better to give
them away or to bury them, than
to spend time and money, and also
food, in rearing colts from them.

for day or two. This is a good
treatment for seeds that are to be
started under glass. Lay them be-
tween two pieces of flannel and keep
moist. They should not be suffered
to dry out or the germ may be killed.
one way of doing this is to place the
flannel on a box Of earth. If the soil
is kept wet the cloth will absorb
enough. Or the cover cloth may be
cut large enough to extend over the
dis or box into the water. 1t will draw
up enough water to keep moist. AS

seeds should be planted. They should
be carefully handled so as not to break
off the sprouts, as IL that is done the
best of the seeds energy is lost. Large
seeds can be handled nicely In this
way and considerable time gained.

TEST TO BE MADE.
Case in Which Constitutionality of

The case of the District of Columbia
against Albert Fields was submitted to the
Court of Appeals today by Assistant Cor
poration Counsel A. Leftwich Sinclair, rep
resenting the District, and Thomas l..
Jones, Almond w. Scott and Marion T.
Clinkscales, attorneys for Fields.
Fields was recently prosecuted in the Po-
lice Court and convicted of being "a person
of evil life and fame by Judge Kimball.
who sentenced him to pay a fine of $40,
and in default of the payment the fine
be was sent to the work house for $50
days. His attorneys noted exceptions to
the ruling of the court and appealed the
case to the Court of Appeals, for the pur-
pose, it is stated, of testing the "vagrancy
law"
1t Is contended that the law In unconsd-
tutional and void owing to its alleged in
definiteness and uncertainty. This conten-
ton Is combated by the attorneys for the
District who point out that laws similar
to the "vagrancy act" have been upheld
wherever their constitutionalty or validity
has been called in question.
