Place Credit Where Due

oar friend OF the Ugmpian, as in
duty bound, attempts to make good
his late praise OF the Legislature, for
the much benefit it claims has been
done i'll providing State revenues by
certain charges IN the laws. He seems
to think that ralpable wrong may he
atoned for by votes cast for a lew wise
measures suggested by Gov. Mead, and
acted ulnn 10y the majority of law
makers A. perfunctory duty, without
any exact idea or expectation of the
/ results that have followed, as a es
quence. The saving that is found to
he incident to the penitentiary guards
and asylum wardens conveying con.
vets and patients, was suggested and
promoted simply on the ground that
persons skilled in caring for prisoners
would be the most effective in that
service. If any economy was to be
effected by the change, it was not, as
far ~ we know, urged as reason for
voting for the bill in either branch of
the Legislature. Nor was it thought
that the making of the State Treas
urer's name necessary attestation for
liquor licenses would lead to collection
OF half million dollars back pay for
delinquent municipalities. That was
ruling adopted by the present in.
cumbent, Mr.. Mills, and has been
found to work exceedingly we'll.
The Olympian declares that in
creased expenditures for the State SER
vice are necessary to keep pace with
its rapid growth and political ex-
pansion.' The reader may very readily
understand why a big State requires
larger appropriations for the civil ser.
vice than a small one, but that does
not carry with it justification for
creation of sinecure positions by the
score, to provide personal servants for
the lawmakers
If Oily will only revise his latest
opinion OF our lawmakers. we think it
will coincide with his former ex.
pressions, and that it will give to the
Governor and State Treasurer credit
for what Expansion the public
funds have realized from changes
of admin .tration.

parently indicated by the States share

fort has been made to collect it, which
is enforced by excellent cxpedient of

been cast i'll Kent and Auburn in

Ellensburg and few unincorporated

MIR. PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE

MIR. PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE
horticultural SOCIETY:
The subject assigned to me for this
afternoon Is Strawberries" an old
but ever new topic, whether | am
expected to treat OF their use in the
brief season of their perfection as an
appetizer or OF growing them for the
market.
Any soil that is in good condition
to grow good crop OF potatoes will
produce Strawberries. Pillow and har-
row the ground thoroughly, then
mark out the ground by 81 feet, and
plant only perfect plants, those of
uniform size and fine roots; remove all
dead leaves and old runners, and cut
the roots to an even length of about
four inches. Some use spade and
some dibble to set out with.
There is no use in my telling you
how to set the plants; you all know
how it is done. and every one thinks
his way the best. When you get the
plants set do not forget to run the
cultivator and keep the ground stirred
uBy iOOSC anu blCllOW. Ou VIII also
use hoe early and late, whenever it
is needed.
As to variety, that depends very
much on the taste OF the planter, or
what disposition he expects so make
OF the berries.
After planting and few cultiva-
tions, the runners begin to start and
unless they are kept off you will soon
have a matted bed OF plants. Keep
them cut off. We always pinch off all
blossoms that show the first season.
All fruit you let your plants make the
first summer are made at the expense
OF future crops. BY giving thorough
cultivation, both with cultivator and
hoe, pinching off all fruit buds, cut
ting off the runners the first year, you
will have plants that should, under
reasonable conditions, give you big
yield OF fine, large berries, the second
season. That brings you down to the
picking and if You are growing ber-
ries for the market that is one of the
most vexa:ious problems of the bust
ness; and if only for domestic use. one
of much pleasure. If you don't believe
it just try it.
Several other members spoke in
euloey OF our splendid results in straw
berry culture and the details OF cult
walton.
The Society then adjourned to Oc-
tobcr l4th.

THE PRESIDENT SAYS MORTON WILL
NOT BE PRosECUTED.-It seems the
President has announced his determi.
nation to stand by Paul Morton enough
to shield him from the consequences
of violation of law in management OF
the Santa Fe railroad, claiming that
he favors adjustment of the system
which violates the interstate law, and
not the officers Of the corporations
which did their duty as they under.
stood it. This disposition to shield
the men who give life to the policy
acknowledged to 10 violations OF law,
is in keeping with the announcement
OF Attorney General Knox that it was
the policy of the Administration not
to run amuck" of the trust interests,
and is in direct notification OF the
Sherman law which authorizes crimi.
nal prosecutions of malefactors. The
President, In his remarkable letter to
the public, announces his determine.
ton to advise the Attorney General
not to prosecute Morton, which is a
virtual acknowledgment of another
subversion OF law by executive order.

THE color supplement is becoming a
fad of the large daily papers and fills
q "long felt want" Notwithstanding
grown people (some of them) repu-
date the idea OF enjoyment of the
bright side OF life; the pleasure found
in the wit and humor inseparably
connected with passing events. The
happiest of earth's voyagers are those
who carry youthful longings after
crossing the divide of life, and the
artist in one set of these popular car.
toons seems to us to have caught tine
ideal conception of mature life in
Foxy Grandpa" The only objection
we have found to this syndicated
matter is that persons receiving q
number of daily papers are likely to
have whole pages duplicated. The
Olympian's red page seems to avoid
that handicap, all the caricatures be.
ing different from any other humoI
page doled out by the leading State
papers. 1t promises an outburst OF
patriotism in the issue of Sunday pre-
ceding natal day, in which fire-cracker
and Fourth OF July frolic will hold the
center of the stage. Oily is to be con.
graduated for his enterprise.

diana professor is to photo graph the
total eclipse OF the sun, in August, in
Spain, with q camera seventy feet in
length! The use Of such far-reacher
is stimulated by the fact that it is the
most important observation that will
happen for half century, being longe,
in duration than usual and visible al

PUBLIC LANDS USED FOR ESTABLISH.
ING TRUsr.-This week an attorney
OF the smaller stockmen of Eastern
Washington has been here to examine
the records OF leased lands to the
larger cattlemen, and as result OF his
Investigations, it is claimed, q battle OF
no ordinary magnitude is probable.
In some parts OF Yakima, Douglas and
kittitas counties, stockmen years ago
acquired the railroad title to odd.sec.
tions, at nominal cost, and have sue.
ceeded in leasing the States right to
even.sections at an equally low figure,
placing immense tracts under absolute
monopoly. This, with the settlement,
of the country and the new law re.
stricting cattle from running at large
make the conditions for smaller own.
ers exceedingly precarioue. The pro.
vision that educational lands shall moi
be leased in tracts greater than one
section to one person, is overcome by
assignment Of leases hitherto permit
ted, thus defeating the object of The
law. 1t is proposed to contest thi:
method of acquiring individual hold
ings, sometimes comprising 100 square
miles. The benefits will be far-reach
ing, for the same method has beer
used to restrict grain fields and Other
agricultural projects, as we'll as the
cattle-ranges.

ne.see, and indeed i'll some other
States, rs such panicky reports usually
extend. 1t was but wOrmin size, of
hair-like tenuitv, but considerable
length, and only resembling some
classes OF the snake species in the
dealliness OF its virus. Ii seems that
the report originated from sudden
death or two after meal in which
cabbage was Il principal element OF n
leading cUur>'', and the hair worm
fouul simultaneously in the cabbage
crup was made the scape- goat of the
tragedy. The rumorcd cause of death
spread SO rapidly that in the State

portant article OF diet fell off fully 50
per cent. and in Missouri, Iowa and
many other States and indeed all over
the country there was an appreciate
decrease in the demand for cabbage.
That the same was wholly unbound
ed is now assured by a circular (No.
G2) of the Bureau of Entomology, u.
S. Department of Agriculture, which
has been issued a. the result OF much
inquiry in regard to the identity and
alleged poisonous nature OF the minute
worm known during 1908 and 1901 as
the cabbage snake. Experiments
were made by DR.. Louis Leroy, Of the
Department, feeding the usual labora-
tory animals, rabbits, guinea pigs and
domestic animals with the worms,
raw and cooked, and extracts from
hairsworms were prepared and injected
hypodermically, with the result Of
conviction that the reported poisonous
nature Of the worm is entirely falla-
cious. In fact it is stated that the
hair-wOrm is to some extent beneficial
to the cabbage crop, as it destroys by
parasitism the codling moth and Ger.
tain other garden pests. So it may be
expected that the royal favorite, Corn.
beef and Cabbage, will again be in

CURE FOR TUBERCULoSIs.-The Mex

formed his government that by a late
scientific discovery it has been proven
that the tapeworm is the natural
enemy OF the germ of consumption,
and that the latter Cannot exist where
the other is present. He further states
that the eminent scientists, James and
H. Mandoul, after profound investiga-
ton, assert this claim as q fact, in q
paper lately submitted to the Academy
of Sciences, in Paris. To positively
establish the efficacy of this remedy,
the doctors injected liquid prepared
from the tania into several consump.
tives, with the result of retarding
progress Of the disease in the worst
cases, while in others it ended in q
complete cure. Most people would
prefer to die, however, than to attempt

A WAR CLOUD has been lowering
over France and Germany the past few
days, regarding alleged conflicting in
terests in Moroccan territory, but it
seems to have blown aside. Although
it is admitted that Germany has
warned her subjects to leave France,
the fact that England is an ally of
France doubtless holds that power in
equipoise.
