" HO ARE DEFENDERS OF
 DEnOcRACY2

Referring to tne proper relation of newspapers and would-be statesmen to true Democratic principles and the people, we assert that they should be well versed on all vital questions at issue and prepared to defend what they believe to be true and right re- gardless of party or the dictates of party bosses who may chance to control the machine. As an illustra- ton we believe that the tariff should be revised and reduced and all cor poration trusts abolished, but have but little respect for the intelligence of those who publicly proclaim that t, abolish the tariff would wipe out all the trusts.
 We are aware that many trusts are built up and sustained by protective tariff, and in all such cases the pro- tective feature of the tariff should be wiped out, but 1t is plainly to be seen that many of our most exacting and cruel trusts, those which rob and plunder the people the worst and by the most high-handed means, have no possible connection with the tariff.
 If any one can show what connec- tion the Standard Oil, the Beef, the Coal the Ice and the Refrigerator Car trusts and railway mergers, or the telegraph and express mcnopo- lies have with the protective tariff we would be pleased to have them do so, but until this is done we shall continue to hold that the editor or statesman who offers no other solu- ton of the trust question have not used their brains to any good ad- vantage or given the subject any serious thought and are not in earn est in the desire to defend true Democracy.
 In times like the present, when, during the last session of Congress political parties came near being rent assunder by discussions pertaining to corporation trusts; when our higher courts are being occupied trying cases and many con- victions are being secured for the violation of National and state anti trust laws, and when public senti- ment is rising to white heat against the high-handed defiance of law and the rights of the people, no man or newspaper should be encouraged to ask the support of the people when they have no word of cheer to break upon their ears, no well defined, clear cut declaration of hostility to predatory corporations and violators of the law.

Many of the stand paters and let well-enough-alone politicians talk eloquently about the good times of the present day. often declaring that there was time when kings did not dress as we'll or have as good homes as the average American working man has today. Just so. but while drawing such comparisons they should go little farther back to the time when they wore no clothing but fig leaves and had no homes except the shelter of the trees in the Garden of Eden.

The Rose Garden and
How to Care for 1t

The amateur will find II advisable
Instead of propagating rose plants to
buy good one or two year old plants
II he wishes to add rose bushes TO his
garden. They may be had for low
prices. The younger ones will pro-
duce fewer flowers the first year, but
they will be very satisfactory and In
the second year will be at their best.
They should be obtained when the
gardener is ready to set them out in
beds. preferably in April, although
they may he planted later. The beds
may be of any size and form. II
should be in the open. where plenty OF
sunlight may reach the plants. 1t is
an advantage to have 1t protected
from high winds, as there then will
be less trouble from mIldew. The
soil should be rich loan, well dra.ied.
When the plants are set out, thor.
oughly water them, so as to settle the
soil well around the roots. Rapid
growth should follow. The only
further treatment necessary is to keep
the soil well stirred around the
plants. II the summer is dry and
warm layer OF pine needles or fine
manure may be put on the soil
around the plants. This would make
less cultivation necessary; the ground
would not dry out us rapidly. For
many varieties Of the rose which are
not entirely hardy an additional GOV.
ering should be put around the nlants
for protection In extreme winter
weather. In the spring this covering
composed Of manure preferably
may be spaded into the soil and will
net as a fertilizer. In covering the
plants for the winter care should bs
taken not to allow the tops of the
plants to be bent down under the
weight of the protective material and
snow which may come later.
