A New Declaration of Independence.

The earliest formal declaration of political indie
pendence in this country made by the independent
newspaper.
The harvest of their sowing appears.
Think of a member of the cabinet declaring himself
independent of the Republican party Of Cincinnati.
''If l able" said Secretary Taft in his Acron
speech Gas fear shall not be because public duty calls
elsewhere to cast my vote in Cincinnati in the com
ing election | should vote against the municipal ticket
nominated by the Republican organization"
Twenty years ago such a declaration would have
been political heresy.
Twenty years ago, when the independent press pro
posed the separation of city from national and state poll
tics the proposal jeered at by the cynical the
drivel Of dreamers.
Equally striking is the declaration of Secretary Root
that the gang ruling Philadelphia not Republicans
They corrupt and criminal combination. They de-
the opposition of all honest Republicans
Why, that sounds like of Carl Stuarts' heretica
utterances of the 70's.
There is tone in the political atmosphere.
Idealsm is really getting it's innings
Note the independent support Of District Attorney
Jerome of New York.
Note President Roosevet's bold declaration that
city government and national politics distinct and
that effort to combine them works to the injury Of
both.
Let the grafters rage and the political FOUNDERS i'm
agne vain thing The country is getting point
of view political decency.
All hail the declaration of independence.

MAKING LOVE.

MAKING LOVE.
Chuck's dancing partner on the
stage. She became his helper in
every way. She thought his mar
rage was a sacrifice for her, and
she loved him. He thought her
abandonment of old, tenacious hab-
its was a sacrifice, and he loved
her.
When they came back to New
York, Chuck rented tenement in
Christie street. 1t was twO-room
affair in five-story, double decker,
and the surroundings were dingy
enough. But Nellie developed tai
ents as a housekeeper, as she had
as dancer. Her little home shone
and she became noted for her sim.
pie hospitality. And she never hit
the pipe again.
Visits from Hall Game, Israel
Zangwill and others inspired her
with a desire for something better,
and she began to write.
Her first efforts were crude, but
in the hands of some of her news
paper friends they took printable
shape without loss of Chinatown
color.
She became ambitious for Chuck,
too, whose early lack of schooling
had deepened into absolute litter
acy. Soon she taught him the A
B C's and to write. Thereafter
Chuck became a more important
figure at the nightly gatherings in
Barney Flynn's, reading the news
aloud to the regulars.

MELONS FED ON
MILK GROW FAT

MARSEILLES. Nov. 6.-Scienti-
fic and agricultural circles are
highly interested in a discovery
which a farmer near this city
claims to have made and the cor
rectness of his statement will be
thoroughly tested at some of the
experimental stations of the De-
partment of Agriculture. Accord
ing to the statement of the farmer,
who is responsible for the new
theory, watermelons, freely sup
piled with milk poured around
their roots, will grow to twice their
normal size. The man first tried
the experiment several years ago
and won numerous prizes at agri-
cultural exhibitions with his fine
watermelons. The process is said
to not only increase the size of the
melon but to insure firm red pulp
and delicious flavor.

The manner in which the rubber
pitchers plate was brought into
the code of rules may be interest
ing. Intense rivalry existed be-
tween the Cincinnati and Louisville
teams of the American association,
which was at it's height in 1885
when Guy Hecker was the star
pitcher and player of the Louis
vile team, and Tony Mullane was
the especially brilliant pitching
star of the Cincinnati team.
The cry in Louisville was, BEAT
Cincinnati, even if you land next
to the foot of the list in the cham
pionship race"
When the Louisville team played
in Cincinnati excursions were run
into Cincinnati from Louisville and
other Kentucky points. When Gin
cinnati played in Louisville the or.
der was reversed.
The interest was such that each
game, especially the Sunday games,
were for blood, and hot blood at
that.
At that time the pitchers box
was space four by six feet In
dimension, defined by lines. Hecker
had habit of digging holes in the
ground in the back corners Of the
box. which permitted him to pitch
what is known as a crossfire bal
with great effect.
Upon arriving at the Cincinnati
park on a Sunday, Hecker soon
learned by bitter experience thai

ally excavated had been filed with
