A Public Renefantor.

President ROOScvclt'S intense dislike
or 1.-THE man with the muck rake can
hardly be wondered at, for "thc man.
has uncovered SO many scandals that
the Roosevelt Administration will go
down into history as the most disrep-
utablc era Of Republican supremacy.
III there had been no muck, the rake
would have remained idle. Was not a
rake necessary to nc0vcr the insur-
ance grating, the postal frauds, the
land frauds, the Panama grating and
mismanagcmcnt, and would President
Roosevelt have prevented the exposure
OF these scandals, because it unmask-
ed the corruption or connivance OF
some of the highest officials of the Re
publican party? 1t is no easy or pleas
ant task to WELD the rake, but the
man who does stir up the muck in an
eVenhandcd manner, telling the truth
without fear, or favor, is a public ben
efactor. The fact is, the Republican
politicians had become so intrenched
in power that the grafters thought
that anything they did, however vic
iOus, would be unobscrvcd by the peo-
pie, but the man with the rake with
his publicity, exposed them and the
Republican party which was RESPONSE
bic for them.

R.publioan Grnft.

One of the life insurance magnatcs
has been arrested for giving Il large
sum of money, that should have been
sacred to the widows and orphans of
the policy holders, TO the Republican
National Committee. President Roosc-
welt declared before election that no
tainted money was being used in his
campaign, but the evidence shows he
wa greatly mistaken, for the insur-
ancc trust and other corporations
"came down handsomely. Tie
strange part Of 1t Is that the Admin
istr'tion organs before the last nation
al election declared that the Presl-
dent vas managing the campaign on a
business basis" and receiving daily
reports Of the finances OF the Republi-
can committee from Chairman Cortel-
you. Was the President deceived OF
did he then think insurance money
was not tainted? No restitution has
yet been made, though IL would seem
that the ethics Of the situation demand
that the money be returned to It's
rightful owners.

WORK ON GUNNiSON TUNNEL

A SubterIanean Waterway q Won.
derful Engineering Feat.
The Gunnison tunnel in Colorado, the
great subterranean waterway which is
to carry a large volume Of water from
Cunnison river for distance Of six
miles under vernal Mesa, a mountain
1000 feet high, Is one Of the spectacular
engineering works Of the reclamation
service, says the Los Angeles Times.
At the Gunntson end the portal is at
the bottom Of the profound canyon
which this stream has cut through the
granite mountain. Before construction
was commenced 1t was necessary for
the engineers to build a wagon road
With 10 per cent grade into the
canyon in order to bring In the neces-
sary machinery.
On Jan. IL, 1906, the work Of ex-
cavating the tunnel was begun stimuli
taneously at three openings and has
since proceeded night and day without
material cessation. On the flrst day of
June 12,454 feet Of tunnel had been
excavated. and the work ie now going
forward at the rate Of 1900 feet a
month.
The dimensions Of the tupnel are 101h
By 1Ih feet. It will be lined through
out with cement, and IT'S capacity is
1899 second fest. When completed 1t
will carry enough water to provide for
the irrigation Of $4,000 acres of land
only small part Of which Is to-day IN
der partial cultivation. The cost OF the
entire project including the tunne:,
canals and distributing system. viii bs
$4,5oo.00o, or about $50 per ACRE for the

DIET DELUSIONS.

Some diet decisions are of most mod.

is that very ancient survival, the no.
ton that particular foods are good"
for particular things or effects.
This is an almost direct descendant
of the notion, held with greater or less
unanimity by nearly all savage and
barbarous tribes, that the flesh or Wis.

particular qualities will be likely to
produce the same qualities in those
who eat them.

YHE BANANA PLANT.

uaeA Tree Produces Only One Bunch
Of the Fruit.
The banana plant Is not properly q
tree at all. 1t has no woody fiber. 1t Is
a large, green. tieshS pant, with big
leaves sig or eight feet long and some
times two feet broad. 1t grows to .
height Of ten to fourteen feet or even
more, according to the variety al
plant and the soil and climate. Each
tree produces one bunch Of fruit only.
which y really the terminal bud Of the
plant, just like an ear Of wheat o.
barley. It has no branches, and when
the fruit is ready, which Is twelve or
fifteen mcnths from the date Of plant
ing, the tree Is cut down and done
with.
But while it is growing up and ma
turing it's fruit it IL 1T the same time
lending up from its roots other young
plants. or suckers perhaps eight or
aine Of them. Each Of these will pro-
duce its own bunch in turn, some of
them in q couple Of months after the
parent plant, and there will thus be a
regular succession Of fruit Many of
these suckers have to be dug up and
planted elsewhere, or they would be
too thick on the ground.
And there Is this popularity about
the banana: You can plant it at any
season, and the fruit ripens all the
year round. When once a banana field
has been planted out, all that is neces-
sary to be done is to keep 1t clear Of
weeds and keep thinning out the multi
plying suckers.
