Stified Publicity Bill.

The efforts of the republican party
representatives to stifle the bill pro-
viding for publicity of campaign con-
tributions took new form Friday last.
From the very inception of this meas
ure the democratic members have been
earnestly and strenuously for it. The
democratic members of the committee
having the bill in charge voted for ia

democratic leader on the floor of the
house, not only spoke earnestly in ia

which he secured the signatures OF

happened? The publicity bill was SO
amended as to make it intolerable to
the people of the south 1t was amend

acceptance by any democrat. There
was put upon it what they call in con-

Cash in Campaign.

Recent debates in congress on the
campaign publicity bill have revealed
some interesting facts, not the least of
these being that, as far back as 1860,
when Lincoln and Douglas were the op-
posing candidates, tremendous amounts
of money were expended. In only two
presidential elections since 1860 have
the republicans spent less than the
democrats-in 1884, when Blaine and
Cleveland were the candidates, and in
1892. when Harrison and Cleveland
were the nominees.
The smallest estimated amount spent
by the republicans was in 1860, when
Lincoln's expenses were 100000, while
expenses for McKinley's election are
estimated at $16,500,0O0. Cleveland, In
1892, leads the democrats with $3.50,
600, while only $4,000 was spent in the
campaigns of Douglas, Mcclellan OF
Greeley.

Moon RIindness In Horses.

1t is said that "moon blindness" in
horse is caused by "wolf teeth"-two
small surplus teeth just in front of the
first upper premolars, one on each
side of the upper jaw. An authority
says: "The wolf teeth do not cause
eye disease or any other harm and usu
ally are not discovered until the eye
disease appears. The eye trouble is
periodic Ophthalmia' moon blindness).
which is hereditary and incurable.
Thousands upon thousands of horses
suffer from this eye disease. yet have
not wolf tooth in their heads. The
important matter to remember in con-
nection with periodic ophthalmia is not
the significance of the wolf TOOTH but
the necessity and importance of re-
jecting from breeding operations all
afflicted with periodic ophthalmia, or
cataract. which results from repeated
attacks"

Concrete Boats.

Rapidly the field of concrete con-
struction is broadening. The Italian
correspondent of the London Times
predicts that the use of concrete will
largely take the place of iron and steel.
Large boats of reinforced concrete have
already been built in that country, and
five of these of 120 tons or more were
on commission for the Italian navy.
The first of these boats was built in
1906 This boat, which was built with
double bottom and of the cellular type,
was submitted 10 severe tests in the
Spezia arsenal, where a much larger
boat built of iron and with an iron
ram was directed against it without
producing any considerable damage to
it. After some time, and in consequence
of the satisfactory results given by
the first boat, four more of these barges
navy. Owing to the unfavorable condi-
lions of Italy as an iron producing
country, the problem of reinforced con
crete for ships will meet with a good
deal of attention there, and the eXper
iments and trials on much larger and
more important scale will shortly be
conducted.
Thus we find concrete construction
taking the place of wood, iron and steel
in many ways, and doubtless this is
an important factor in preventing the
price of those materials going up high
er than they are, and we all know they
are very lofty now
A concrete experimenter remarked
the other day: ooh, you can built
anything of concrete now" Incident
ally, it was suggested that he nigh
build concrete balloon. He admitted
one could be built with reasonable as
surance that it would fly as frequentl.

from being seized by illiterate and in
competent voters is not apparent. 1t
appears that in order TO collect tre-
mendous campaign fund this year the
republican party is willing to go the
limit against every issue for which the
people stand. No tariff revision until
after election, but tariff commission
to collect campaign funds from the pro-
tected manufacturers.
No financial Legislation or currency
legislation until after election, but a
commission which will sit through the
summer and gather in funds from the
bankers and financial institutions of
the United States. No measure pro-
viding for the publicity of contribu-
tons made until after those contribu-
tons have been paid in, the money ex'
pended and the election settled. This
is the honesty, the integrity and the
patriotism of the present rulers of the
republican party.

to taking out of the pockets of the
American people money in taxes, pre-
venting any reduction in the drain Of

But let us get closer view
And see things as they are.

In fragrant new mown hay,
For several troubles of his own
He draws from day to day.
When gentle spring comes down the
pike
And growing time is here
He must be watching lest the frost
His budding blades should queer.
And as the tiny. tender shoots
Show up above the ground
Cutworms and gophers on the job
Are always loafing round.
Then wet and drought and creeping
pests ys,sgrr
And parasites and crows
And many things that interfere
With everything that grows
Come in their turn TO bother him,
Each as it comes q threat
That for his labor and his pains
No harvest will he get.
The many pitfalls on the way
From seeding time to bin
Are then succeeded by the fear
That prices will be thin.
, With all the chances that he has
To get II in the neck
The wonder is he doesn't soon
Become n nervous wreck.
