SOME EFFERvtscENcE.

| While this enthusiasm over the Den
Yer convention is on there Is much idle
! talk exchanged over the alarming
growth OF democratic sentiment in the
west Superhcially many men believe
that for some reason the republican
party is going into the campaign In
weakened condition.
1t all reminds one OF the cheap talk
handed about town when the manager
Of a strong. and successful business
retires Everybody seems to think thai
the business Is going to ruin. Because
the manager whom people knew had
been strong they would assume that
the unknown man to follow could not
hold the Job, hence much needless
alarm But how often has 1t happened
that the strong manager has been sue
ceeded by a stronger one and the bus
mess has gained by leaps and bounds?
Republicans at large have grown to
look upon President Roosevelt as the
only man OF his size In the universe.
He was a big man IN a big place. but
he had his faults. He had many faults
OF which Mr. Taft will be free. He
had even less experience in governing
than Mr.. Taft has had. Furthermore
some of the most conspicuous achieve
ments of his administration have been
accomplished for him by, Mr.. Taft.
It was Mckinley who sent Taft to
the Philippines but 1t was TAFT who
constructed new government in the
wilderness by hand and accomplished
what the whole civilized world be-
lieved to be impossible. Then when
the inevitable and predicted break
down came in the Cuban experiment
at self government 1t was Taft who
preserved order for Roosevelt and
avoided the necessity for taking over
the Cuban government as most states
men believed would have to be done.
The trouble Mr.. Roosevelt was
having with his canal managers had
grown to be almost ridiculous until in
desperation he sent Taft there and al
most instantly the vast machine OF a
million laborers was working without
noise.
Mr.. Taft does things without talking
about them. He will never give the
headlines startling enough,
to make him as popular as Roosevelt
is, but he will actually do more along
Roosevelt lines of progression in gov
eminent of the interests by the peo-
pie than his predecessor has done. Taft
is one of these men who make fewer
reports but get the business and he
will grow in popular esteem as the
discussion of the campaign makes him
better known.

The CALL or THE COIN.

In the Council Bluffs Nonpareil
there appears an article which alludes
deprecatingly to the lining up OF Ar
thur Brisbane on the side of the brew
ers. Brisbane Is a talented editor who
writes for the papers operated by Will
liam Randolph Hearst and he had the
nerve to attend the convention of
brewers in Milwaukee recently and
discuss before their members the pro-
hibition question, with avowed friend
Illness to the brewers and their cause.
In a recent editorial Brisbane quoted
Pope Leo, Gladstone, Moltke, Bismarck
and Goethe as noted men who grew
old in lives marked by the temperate
use Of alcoholic beverages. But these
men are the exception and by no
means fair examples. AS such they
might we'll be cited by those arrayed
against alcoholism as the very ones
to prove the rule Of the harm done by
drink.
But why should anyone mourn the
fact that Brisbane gives comfort to
the vendors of liquor? Brisbane COM
nlands his princely salary because of
his eccentricities He belongs to the
Journals of freak headlines He is SIM
ply doing a startling thing deliberate
ly.
Mr.. Hearst's newspapers have never
been awarded medals for their advo-
cacy of principles for principles sake.
They have always played to the gal
leries. Mr.. Hearst is a very wealthy
man, made more so by the exploitation
Of sensations thru his various neWspa-
pers. They always take the course
which will arouse the most excitement.
The defense Of the drink habit Is
scarcely shocking when it comes from
Hearst papers.
It is generally suspected that the
contest Hearst made of the New York
mayoralty count, which contest he
lost, was done purely to arouse ex-
element for his da.ilies and their read
ers. His record in congress was so
VIGOROUSLY neglectful of the public in
terest that it would have been laugh
able In anybody else. His star per-
former is in the same business on the
brewers program. The making of
headlines is their answer to the call Of
the coin.

The indignation of the Sioux City
Journal and other standpat papers ov-
err the exposure OF Senator Allison's
physical and mental weakness during
the primary campaign was so perfect
ly simulated and was manifested with
such appearance Of sincerity that
many voters were fooled and voted for
the old man to rebuke the wicked pro-,
gressives who were accused of slam
dering him.
Nevertheless, it was true then, as 1t
is now, that Senator Allison is on the
verge of the grave. An acquaintance
who saw him three weeks ago says
that he is reduced to a skeleton and Is
so feeble that he is not permitted to go
about without an attendant. And IN
confirmation we find this in the Sioux
City Journal of June %. a revelation
which that paper would not have made
six weeks ago:

as he is not feeling we'll and is going
away for "a rest.
During the last session Of congress
Senator Allison was under care of
nurse practically the entire time. He
made his appearance in the senate only
at rare intervals, and visitors to his
home were frequently denied admis-
sion because he was not able to see
them. Yet the standpat papers We're
filled daily with lying dispatches from
Washington telling of Allison's stren-
uous work in the senate, his robust
health and vigor, and so on. The Con-
gressional Record gave the lie to these
stories, but they We're circulated right.

enough votes to defeat cummins.
Allison was just as feeble before the
primary as he is now. But he was used
to beat Cummins. and that was the
only object of the railroads which
backed him. A majority OF the repub--
ncans of Iowa who voted at the pri'-
mary showed themselves to be ranke-

p,an+;no Trees for Posts.


The rapid denuding of our forests
and the consequent scarcity of timber
for all purposes, especially the cheap
err kinds in the rough for farm require
ments. renders the planting of forest
trees of great Importance. There are
few farms, especially on prairies, that
have not several small pieces of land
that are not easy of cultivation, which
a little time and work will fit for the
planting of trees, which should be set
in rows about feet apart. and cultl-
waited as corn Seeding trees can be
purchased from the larger nurseries at
from SO to IS per 1000, which is
cheaper than the labor required to dig
them in the timber lands, if they could
be gotten for nothing. 1t is good plan
to cut off the entire top of the young
tree when setting out. This will give a
good. strong, straight growth for the
trunk of the future tree. A little prun-
ing during the first and second sum-
mers will start the trees with good.
clean trunks and after this but little
care will be needed. A small plat of
land, il properly handled, will in few
wears furnish an abundance of firewood
and posts and poles that are necessary
for fences The value of constant
supply OF timber on the farm can
hardly be over-estimated.
Posts can be grown in groves much
cheaper than in line hedges. Hedge
fences are not to be recommended. ex-
cept in special cases, for the reason
that the labor required to keep hedge
fence in good shape would care for q
large grove. A tall hedge may some-
times be Of great value for wind

Poultry on Five Acres.

One of the most successful poultry
raisers in Illinois has only five acres
of land. He keeps from 800 to 2,OOO
chickens and raises wheat and corn
enough for them on about three acres.
He buys the garbage from a hotel,
paying merely a nominal price. 1t may
not be very profitable to feed chickens
and hogs exclusively on corn worth 81
cents per bushel, but by providing veg

ing becomes less serious

at the first signs Of rain the marked

were transplanted in this manner.
They grew rapidly. so vines covered
the ground by winter, and they bore

3 Alfalfa as . Feed for Swine.

The Kansas experiment station has
found that ton OF alfalfa hay will
make upwards OF 500 pounds OF gain
on hogs, and similar gain has been
made on alfalfa when 1t is used as
pasture. The Nebraska station was
able to make gains at cost of :
cents per pound on hogs weighing
265 pounds, when these were on all
falfa pasture and fed, in addition, three
pounds Of corn daily per hundred
pounds weight of hogs.
These figures are taken from an
address by Professor Kinzer of thai
station, before the state board Of agri-
culture Of Kansas last winter. No hog
grower the professor asserted, can
afford to be without alfalfa for his
hogs and pigs.
