Caring for BlaCkberrieS

A writer in Farmers Home
Journal gives very plain and
concise directions for setting and
caring for a patch of blackberries
and no one with a patch of ground
should be without this healthful
and delicious fruit, which can be
put to so many uses and which
is nearly always sure to make a
crop.
The essential point in growing
blackberries successfully is a
moist soil, not one in which water
will stand. but one rich enough
in humus to hold sufficient mois-
ture to carry the plant throught
the growing season. The writer
quoted, says: 1t is usually best
to plant the blackberry bushes
in the fall, setting the smaller
growing kinds four by seven feet
apart, and the larger varities six
by eight feet. Thorough culti-
vation throughout the season will
help in a material degree to hold
the moisture necessary to per-
feet a good crop. The soil should
be cultivated very shallow, so as
not to dis turb the roots. Break
ing the roots starts a large num-
Der of suckers, which has to be
cut out and destroyed.
Blackberries, like dewberries
and raspberries, bear but one
crop on the cane, That is. canes
which spring up one year bear
the next. From three to six
canes are sufficient to be kept in
each hill. The superfous ones
should be thinned out as soon
as they start from the ground.
The old canes shoule be cut off
soon after fruiting and burned.
The new shoots should be pinched
back at the height of two or three
feet if the plants are to support
themselves. If they are to be
fastened to wires, the canes may
be allowed to grow through the
season be cut back when tied to
the wires in the winter or early
spring.
Blackberry plants are some
times left down during the wint-
er in very cold climates. the tops
being bent down and held to the
ground by eartE. or sods thrown
upon them.

William Mc(1iIyery of C0rnucODit the

He is "a Prominent Logger
and Well Known all Over
the County.

William McGilvary, of Cornu.
copia, was brought to this city
last week by Undersheriff John.
son and was placed in the county
Jail on an execution issued out of
the Circuit court, in case aris-
ing out of suit for trespass.
The plaintiffs in the action are
M. B. Morris and J. w. Tarter
of Iron River. The amount
of the claim is $455. This is
the first case in this county
in which the defendent in
any action has been made to
suffer Imprisonment, and Mr..
McGilvary enjoys unique dis
tinction if it may be considered
a distinction However the
prisoner has secured bondsmen
and is enjoying jail limits, and he
may roam around the city, pro-
vided he reports at meal times
and at night. 1t is necessary in
a case of this kind for the plain
tiffs to pay the board of the pris-
oner. How long will he have to
stay in Jail. That all depends.
He may make application to the
court for his release after ten
days has expired. Of course
this does not pay the debt.

Socialists will Have Complete COun
tv Ticket in Field
Nomination Papers for Differ
ent County Officers Be-
ing Circulated.

The Bayfield, County Social
Democrat Party will have com.
plete county ticket in the field
at the September primaries even
though the law in regard to get
ting signatures to nomination
papers was ''puzzler" to some
of them for a time. AS was
stated in this paper a couple OF
weeks ago the party candidates
will have to disregard the law
in order to comply with the law,
that is to say, that in order to
get signers from at least one
sixth of the election precincts of
the county they will have to ex-
ceed the ten per cent of the en-
tire party vote at the last presi-
Dental election. The attorney
general was written to for his
view on the matter and he cited
a rule laid down by the supreme
court that where a statute con-
tanned a specific direction and
alsoa general prohibition which
are incosistent and could not be
reconsiled, that the specific
direction would prevail over the
prohibition. This satisfied the
social democrats and they are
now proceeding to go into four
precincts with their nomination
papers and getting one signer
from each. The following will
be on the ticket:
Sheriff.. Bryan.
Treasurer-John Fiege, Bay
field.
Clerk-John Livingstone.
Register of Deeds,-Frank
Skuhra.
Clerk of Court Andrew M.
Arntson.
Assemblymen-J. N. Kinney.

county local option law, that the people in
every county in this state can have the power to
decide whether or not the liquor business shall be
carried on within their respective county boundaries
and we pledge the support of the republican party
of this state the enactment of legislation that will
bring about that result
This is reform that should be undertaken in
sane and practical way and the local option method
points to the most effective regulation of traffic
that is assaed by both of the political parties.
Liquor will be sold if the sentiment of community
sustains the sale of liquor. A city is business
partnership on large scale. 1t will insist on
the right to regulate its affairs and will not re
spond to outside interference.

The Liquor Traffic.

In both of the state acknowledgements and re-
publican-are found expressions i'll favor of a form
of prohibition against the traffic in intoxcants The
democratic platform declares for community regula
ton The republican platform favors the regulation
of all the communities in county by the county at
large
The latter plan is but one step removed from state
wide prohibition by command of a legislature and is
favored by strict prohibitionists as their next
choice after failing to secure statewide prohibition.
The law that can be most effectua1ly enforced is
the law that commends itself to practical minds and
experience teaches that the law that is sustained by
community sentiment is the that performs its
functions Any other form of statutory coercion
ceases to be coercion. The community revolts and
unregulated liquor traffic ensues, about much Of
calamity could befall municipality.
The enforcement of any law for the restriction
prohibition of the liquor traffic depends on the
activity of the local police force and local police
organizations are maintained by the community and
not by the county at large.
AS all the expense of the enforcement of pro-
hibtory enactment devo1ves on a community, the
community is entitled to the right to say whether
not it will undertake to enforce prohibition.
1t ought not to be subjected to the operation of an
alien sentiment that may fix the expense of adj
mnistration upon a portion of the population that
does not sympathze with the efforts of outsiders to
regulate its affairs.
Should the city of Boise, for example, oppose the
the discontinuance of the liquor traffic through an
expression of the voters the polls and should the
county of Ada decide by vote that traffic in ntoxi-
cants in Boise illegal, of what value would be
the declaration of the county? The answer can be
found in the experience of the last half century in
numerous prohibition states
Upon this subject the democratic platform says
We believe in the democratic doctrine of home
rule and local self government; therefore favor
the enactment of effective local option law giving
the people the opportunity of determining whether
liquors shall be sold beverage in
their local communities
The republican platform local option utterance
says:
We therefore declare in favor of an effective

Election of Senators.

Taking advantage of the guaranteed privilege of
free speech that is the heritage of every citizen of the
republic Senator Hepburn delivered himself of an
address in Boise Sunday night that supple
mentary to his remarkable declarations from the
platform of the late state republican convention
Mr. Hepburn is struggling against the inevitable
coming of constitutional amendment that will de-
prive legislatures of states of the right to elect
United States senator's and bestow that right upon
the electors of the states.
In his Sunday night speech, the senator declared
that the provision of the constitution governing the
election of senator's could not be amended except by
consent of all the states although article five of the
federal constitution provides that amendments con-
stitutiona11y proposed Esha11 be valid to all ntents
and purposes, part of this constitution when rati
fed by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several
states, by conventions in three-fourths thereof"
Upon this point Mr.. Hepburn is quite insstent,
contrary to the judgment of other authorities, which
declares that the ratification of only three fourths
of the states is necessary
He is proceeding upon the theory that change
in the manner of e1ecting United States senators
carries with it change in the number of senator's to
which the states would be entitled respectively and
that assumption enables him to take refuge behind
the closing clause of article five of the constitution,
which reads: "And that no state, without its con-
sent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the
senate"
The constitution of the United States says:
The senate of the United States shall be composed
OF two senator's from each state chosen by the legs
lature thereof for six years and each senator shall
have vote.
Again the constitution says:
The time, places and manner of holding elections
for senator's and representatives shall be prescribed
IN each state by the legislature thereof but the
gress may at any time by law make or alter such
regulations, except to the places of choosing
atOrS.
An amendment to accomplish that which the people
are determined to accomplish, in spite of the OPP
position of senator's of the obstructive class which
Mr.. Hepburn belongs, need recte only that the two
senator's to which each state is entitled shall be
chosen by majority vote of the electors thereof,
the state being already clothed with authority to
abolish the place" where the election shall be held
No change in the representation of each state has
ever been suggested in connection with the PROPOSE
ton to elect senator's by direct vote of the people
and Mr.. Hepburn may we'll be charged with an ute
ror purpose in thus seeking to befog the issue
