Who is to Blame?

Rascals find the weak spots
in the best of governments. For
a long time the peculiarly weak
laws of New Jersey, in the mat
ter of corporations, caused that
state to be the center for incor-
porating all sorts of so-called
business enterprises. But the
District of Columbia has been
discovered to be even more ia
vorable to corporations that are
solely for the purpose Of getting
the money of easily persuaded
investors. A recent writer
claims that the records are filled
with articles of incorporation for
mines and other enterprises that
exist only on paper and which
are promoted in all parts of the
country.
A little strenuous legislation
for that District is necessary to
overcome this weakness" in
the heart of the nation.

He Must Yield.

Sooner or later the Car of all
the Russians will be compelled to
give his people a parliamentary
form of government. The so
called labor strikes will doubtless
prove an uprising that may rival
the French revolution. The in
cipient rebellion may be stopped,
but twill be only for a brief
period. The fire has been kin

forever smothered, The Rus

many years to such deprivations

The school authorities in New
York City have awakened to the
fact that the public school sys-
tenn was overburdening the chill
dren. Ambitious educators and
theorists have added study to
study and course to course until
the children were breaking
down. Therefore the command
has gone forth. The "fads and
frills" are to be dropped out.

The spineless cactus is an inn
proved variety of the ordinary
wild cactus known as the prickly
pear, of which there are numer-
Gus species and more than a
thousand varieties. The spineless
cactus upon which Mr.. Burbank
has been at work these ten years
is not alone a cactus without spi-
mes. 1t is a juicy, nourishing
forage plant Of great size and
rapid growth; its blossom is
large, more vivid in coloring,
and more fragrant than that of
its wild parent; some of the bios
SONS are a scarlet wine red, 9TH
ers a golden yellow. It's fruit,
which in flavor somewhat resem-
bles an orange or pomegranate,
is as large as a big apple, deli
cious, and sugary. The exterior
of the fruit is pink, white, yell
low, or a deep red, and the in
terror is often the color of the
reddish portion of the inside of a
watermelon. The writer was
permitted to taste a portion of
one of these fruits, and, by the
way, this single fruit was worth
many thousands of dollars. The
taste impresses one with that
quality of refinement in fruit
taste which one obtains from eat
ing a delicious orange. The
leaves of spineless are smooth as
an apple and soft as a peach.
One may rub his cheek upon the
great flipper-like leaves of spine
less with impunity. The acrid
juice found in the cactus of the
desert has been eliminated by
Mr.. Burbank.
Bulk for bulk, spineless is
about half as nutritious as alfal-
ia, which has been pronounced
by the United States Department
of Agriculture to be probably the
best all around of known forage
plants. But acre for acre, the
yield of spineless cactus will be
far greater than the yield of al
falfa. The spineless cactus is
relished by all kinds of stock.
Horses, cattle, sheep, hogs,
chickens, geese, and other ami
mails thrive on it. When fed
with cotton seed or other hydro
carbons, it will make a complete
ration in fattening stock for mar
ket. In one respect it is superior
to alfalfa, as damage often comes
to stock by allowing them to run
free in a green alfalfa field.
Upon his plant farm at Santa
Rosa, CAL, Mr.. Burbank has a
specimen of spineless which, at
three years old, is between seven
and eight feet high and weighs
probably about eight hundred
pounds. Another spineless is a
year old and higher than a mans
shoulder. It's leaves are from a
foot and one-half to two and one
half feet long. They have a
thickness of several inches, one
of them would nearly or quite
feed a sheep.
AS a commercial proposition it
will cost from $40 to $25 an
acre to plant spineless when once

A Good Thing For Those I'm Crowded

Every town dweller should cultivate
his "sense Of traffic" At first this

his business or his pleasure while he

which he IL going, of what is before
him, OF what is on either side of him
and of what he is leaving behind him.
At every crossing he will settle his
course, SO to speak. and look out for
dangers from every point of the com

careful self regulation he will develop
the ''sense of traffic. Without know

all that moves about him. He will au-
tomatically avoid collision, and it will
be as Impossible for him to take step

WHERE ARE THE Roys?

Twenty-Five of the Tyndall young
ladies are either leaving for college or
will each school. - 7yndGH Tribune.
Good for the Tyndall girls, but what
about the boys? When the editor was
a kid the boys sometimes got to school
or college, but there was ne show
whatever for q girl. There was no
advanced schools that would accept
girls aud no one would think of giving
a girl an education even if they did.
A girl would work and earn money to
help her brother through college, but
the opposite was never thought or
heard of.
Now all is changed. There are nu-
merous women's colleges and co-educa-
tional institutions, with women de-
cidedly in the preponderance. The
female and co-educational colleges
have not produced this result; rather
they themselves ara the result of our
mocer situation. The boys 60 into

going to college. The attractions OF

they caa't afford to go to college. The
girls, however, goin increasing NUM-
bers, showing that it is the expendi.
tureof time and opportunity rather
than of money that keeps the boys out
of college.
There must be in time a reaction
from all this. II the colleges aud
higher technical schools have any
thing to offer that is of real worth, it
must be OF quite as much value to boys
as girls. I he crying need in the
business world and even on the farm Is
scientific knowledge and expert train
ing. Our higher institutions are sup
posed to give this and must meet this
need. When they do, boys as we'll as
girls will find that they .'can't affordn
