THE NOTIONS oF RuRToN


Joseph Rolf Burton, the first senator
to serve term In prison, is greatly to
be pitied, or he would be if he did not
talk so much, and thus constantly adj
vertise his moral impotence. 1t may be
that Mr.. Roosevelt is ambitious as
the released convict senator says that
he is, and it is true that better men
than Mr.. Burton believe that Mr.. Roose-
welt will accept a nomination for a
third term, but Mr.. Burton will not
convince any fair-ninded person.
whether that person likes or dislikes
Mr.. Roosevelt. that the president is
colby and cunningly playing a game,
the object of which is to create a de-
mand that he shall be the Republican
candidate in 1908, especially game
that involves the slaughter of some of
his best and most loyal friends. The
antagonist of Mr.. Roosevelt as presi-
dent who will go farthest is a man for
whom the president has the deepest re-
spect. He says that President Roose-
welt has fOreseen a panic, and is will
ing that a Democratic president shall
bear the odium of it, just as the Re
publicans unloaded their 1898 panic on
Mr.. Cleveland; and then, he further
says, Mr.. Roosevelt expects that the
country will turn to him to save it.
This would be a funny procession of
facts, and if they could happen would
not be very creditable to the perspicaci-
ty of the country. Burton goes farther
than this, but he will not make much
impression either on Mr.. Roosevelt or
on any one else.-Harper's Weekly.
SAVING ON FUEL.
Someone has produced an engine
which may do great deal toward
cheapening the price of steel. The
United States Steel corporate is in
ious points, the unique feature about
them being that they do not require oil,
coke, coal, wood or ordinary gas for
fuel. They are to be operated solely
with the gas which is generated in the
eompany's blast furnaces during the
process of steel manufacture. This gas
has heretofore gone to waste. but here
after 1t will be made to turn all the
wheels. For a steel plant to be able to
save the cost of it's fuel is taking a very
big stride toward economy. To be able
to abolish smoke at the same time will
add to it's popularity in communities
where the smoke belching stacks have
smothered the air with blackness.-

Hardy Chrxsanthe1nums.

Chrysanthemums of the "pompon"
type, of which each plant produces
from forty to one hundred blooms, an
inch or two across, are many of them
sufficiently hardy to be left out all
winter in central and southern lati-
tudes. The blooms often remain in
good condition until long after
Thanksgiving.
These plants are the most capable
of resisting frost of any garden herbs.
Their peculiar merit is in blooming
long after successive frosts have de-
nuded the landscape. Their vivid COL
season that they are Indispensable in
the carefully made garden.
The flowers are not ruined until
stiff. The plants are necessarily used
be expected. Masses of red and masses
of brown side by side make a striking
com bination. Crimson and pink va
rieties should be kept by themselves
because their colors are variable and
they make a violent contrast with the
yellow.
The culture of hardy chrysanthe-
NUNS is simple. They need little care
and can be planted in any situation,
so that the soil is rich. They are best
propagated from cuttings which
should be made at any time from Oc-
tober to May. The cuttings may be
obtained from any florist. They
should be inserted singly in pots or
sandy soil and as soon as they are
rooted they should be put in separate
pots Or set outdoors in their perman-
ent location.

CurrantS.

Being one of the hardest and most
productive of fruits, the currant is Of
ten neglected, the patch allowed to be-
come foul with grass, never thinned or
trimmed, the leaves worm eaten until
the plants die.
fruit along the fence. Set them out in
the open at least five feet from any
thing that will interfere with cultiva-
ton. No fruit will more readily respond
to care than the currant. Clean culti-
walton and a liberal use of fertilizers
will certainly be followed by good
crops. One or two year old plants
may be set out Axe feet. Trim the bush
by cutting off most of the suckers below
the surface of the ground. If the sea-
son is dry a mulch of straw or leaves
will assist the plants to establish them
selves.
Red and white currants bear mostly
on two year or older wood. Succession
of young shoots should be allowed to
grow in place of the bearing wood. Cut
out the canes as they grow too old.
The partial shade afforded by a young
orchard suits the currant well.
A currant patch shuld continue in
good bearing for 10 to 20 years If pro-
perIy handled. One important point is
to keep the old, weak canes cut out and
a succession of two to four new ones
coming from the roots each year.
To combat the currant worm spray
thoroughly with Paris green to kill the
first brood as soon as holes can be seen
in the lower leaves. If second brood
appear spray with white hellebore.

Surprise Tests" on Railroads.

1t is but few years since American
railroads began Systematically the use
of surprise tests" These more or
less directly grew out of an incident
that occurred on one of the largest
systems of the middle west. To test
the operations of their signals some
officials went out one night and leav-
ing a signal set at Clear" simply
moved the light. They watched ten or
twelve trains go by and not one en-
gineer stopped to inquire what was
the trouble. as the rules demand. This
same road reports that in 1905, 1900
surprise tests were made without one
resulting in failure. The figures are a
little staggering; human nature is not
usually so inerrant. But what is GER
tain is that accidents, on this line have
been very materially reduced The
Pennsylvania has had an almost 1den-
teal experience; and very recently
the officials OF the Lake Shore saw
twenty-four out of twenty-five trains
go by a signal purposely set with
flights OUT Yet when the New
York Central system began these sur
prise tests, they were threatened with
a strike.-Carl Snyder In Everybody's.

The other day in New York City
street an automobile ran over and seri-
ously, perhaps fatally, injured a man,
and when a policeman hailed him and
babe him stop the driver of the car
shouted a profane and abusive refusal
and rushed away with jeering laugh.
A few days before, also in New York,
another car ran down a pedestrian, and
the woman who occupied it hastily or
dered the driver to hurry away at top
speed. Not long ago car running at
reckless pace along the chief avenue of
Newark struck and killed a pedestrian,
whereupon the driver put on all speed
and in his desperate effort to escape de-
lection endangered the lives of many
other persons. The news of almost every
day contains reports of similar Incl
dents.
In such cases the drivers of the cars
practically confess themselves to be at
fault. They know that they were driv-
ing at an unlawful speed or in reckless
uldhilci, anu thcJ "dht W Bel away
from the consequences of their own mis-
behavior. That is circumstance which
might well be taken into account in
dealing with them when they are finally
captured. In New Jersey the plan has
been adopted of revoking the license of
every automobilist who refuses to stop
after having caused an accident, in addi-
ton, of course, to any other penalties
which may be imposed. Certainly such
conduct indicates a vicious or criminal,
or, at any rate, heartless disposition,
such as must deprive the culprit of the
sympathy which is given to one who IN
avoidably meets with disaster and who
thereupon faces the consequences like a
man.-Tribune Farmer.

c. P. BAIRD BADLY BEATEN.
Crowd In Paris Attacked American
Whose Auto Killed Boy.

Paris, Oct. ll.-Charles P. Baird, of
Philadelphia, son of Mr.. Baird of the
Baldwin Locomotive Works, was the
American who last night ran down and
killed boy named Daipre, at Neuilly.
Mr.. Baird, who was driving a 75-horse-
power, siX-cylinder machine at a rapid
pace, maintains that the accident was
unavoidable. He had turned out of the
road to avoid a heavy dray when the boy
suddenly stepped out from behind the
wagon and was hit before the brakes
could be applied
After the accident Mr.. Baird narrowly
escaped death at the hands of an angry
crowd. Mr.. Baird was beaten and twice
knocked down by the crowd before he
was rescued by the police.
Through the Intervention of Consul
General Mason and Donald Harper, Mr.
Baird's attorney, he was released pend
ing the result of the investigation of the
examining magistrate.
Mr.. Baird undoubtedly will be crimi-
nally and civilly prosecuted, but the tes-
timony taken this morning was favora-
BILE to him, and his attorney is confident
that the criminal charge cannot be sus-
tanned.
Mr. Baird and his brother have lived in
Paris for a number of years. Their
mother, who arrived here recently, is
seriously i'll. She has leased the former
residence of Sybil Sanderson.-Tribuhe

The Cost of Livinq.

Two months ago The World, in an ar
ticle which has been widely commented
upon stated that the great public prob
lem in America is to "reduce the cost of
living without reducing wages or lower
ing the returns of the farmer"
We have seen proof that the Standard
Oil Company has exacted billion dollars
in profits from the people by killing COM
petition and conspiring with the railroads.
We have seen that poor men paid two
and three cents mile railroad fare while
politicians and lobbyists carried books of
blank passes in their pockets to hand out
intolerable transit conditions in New
York laid tax upon the humblest homes
to fill the pockets Of thieves in collision
with the local political machine. We have
seen a local budget prepared which
means, if bonds be added, the outlay in
one year of more than 5000 per family, of
which considerable proportion will be
waste.
When once the people fully understand
that the chief cause of the high cost of liv-
ing is bad government they will perhaps
cease to elect incompetent men to high
office. They will perhaps no longer allow
corrupt bosses to manage political parties
at their will. Economy and morals would
be alike the gainers.-N. Y. World.
