CRAFT KNOWS NO PARTY

duction of our tariff with the Phil
ippines.
Is this a party issue? President
Roosevelt urged this legislation He
and Secretary Taft worked with
congress, beginning more than two
years back, and urged, by special
message and special solicitations Of
the members, that some law be
passed.
But the legislation struck Chas.
Dick in the senate committee on
the Philippines; and there it has
hung since.
VIGOROUSLY 1t was the sugar trust
and the tobacco trust which OPP
posed this bill.
These greedy trusts feared the
Filipinos might grow sugar and
tobacco cheaply and send enough to
the United States to menace their
monopoly. The contingency was re-
mote, but enough to move their
powerful lobby. And with a corpo-
ration loaded committee it's work
was easy.
On the committee today opposing
tariff reduction are Jos. F. Johnson
(demD, representing the southern
sugar interests; Henry NJ. Teller
(dem), Colorado beet sugar inter-
ests: VIM. J. Stone (dem.). tobac-
co or most any corporate interest;
Frank B. Brandegee (repD, tobac-
co interests of Connecticut; julius
c. Burrows (repD, Michigan beet
sugar interests; Eugene Hale (rep)
corporate interests in general;
Chas. Dick (rep), corporate inter-
ests in general, spleen against
Roosevelt.
That counts seven votes out of
10. Four happen to be republicans,
three democrats. Their party tags
are accidents. Their corporate rep
resentation is not accidental.
And their action in killing legis-
lation for the prosperity of the
Philippines is an excellent example
of graft rising above politics and
parties"

ALBANY, May 26.-This is about
Charles e. Hughes and the sacred
whiskers. In Albany the whiskers
are regarded with solemn respect.
No one says, "Zizz-zzz.
We asked a man about it. The
man sat on the steps of the capitol,
chewing gum. We asked him how it
happens no one makes jokes about
the whiskers of Charles E. Hughes,
candidate for nomination as presi-
dent.
We did not know then the sol.
emn respect with which the sacred
whiskers are regarded. We did not
realize then that want of respect
for them marked one as an out
cast.
The man gasped, swallowed his
gum, got up hastily and made off
sideways. He seemed to fear that
some one might think he knew us
Charles T. is the frosty party that
our genial friend Charlie Fairbanks
is popularity supposed to be, and is
not. No one calls Hughes Charlie.
No one even calls him Chas. You
spell it out in full and put "gOver-
nor" in front.
So you don't get chummy with
Charles E. Hughes when you go to
talk with him, while an artist
makes tonsOrial portrait studies in
pencil.
You don't talk about lilacs and
things and what is good to make
whiskers grow. You don't tell him
in a chatty way about the man
whose whiskers were dyed green.
You enter a big high-ceilingeG
room with paintings on the wall,
At the far end is big, flat-top
desk at which he sits in cold re-
serve.
You don't rush forward. You ap-
proach with dignity. One foot after
the other, in solmn, measured
tread, like the groom at a church
wedding.

CHANCE OF PACE HELPS
When P tchers Are Hit Hard They
Should Alter Style.
TWlRLER HAS ADVANTAGE.
Addie Joss of the Cleveland Ameri-
cans Says Twirlers Should Quit
When First Offerings Are Bumped.

Baseball patrons often wonder why
pitchers do not slow up when the op-
posing teams starts hitting them. Of
ten you see game where the pitcher
goes along till almost the finish WORK
ing rather deliberately. and the other
club starts in the eighth or ninth in
ming and hits everything he offers to
all ends of the ball park.
This is particularly noticeable with
clubs like Boston, composed of young
sters, and Detroit which won a pen
nant last season by a slambang style
at bat and on the bases. When things
commence to come the Tigers way
each man is ready with bat to hurry
to the plate and whale away at any
thing. Often this rapid fire business
gets the pitcher going and allows De-
troit to finish ahead. Bill baltimore
in the first game he worked at Detroit
had them standing on their heads by
his deliberate methods. Then the Ii
gers got after him, and when he con-
tinued to work slow they kept on hit
ting him. Then he gave way to Joss.
Adrian Joss, the boss Cleveland
pitcher. offered an explanation of why
some men continued steaming them in
as fast as they can lay hands on the
ball.
"It's like this with me-" he said.
''I've got to work fast If / slow up
when they commence hitting me, it
is all off, l lose my control, and my
curves do not break right. Some pitch
ers can do it, and some cannot. With
me the harder they hit me the faster
want to work.
eff a pitcher can slow up and go at
it deliberately in pinch, it gives him
an advantage over most batters. When
a team starts hitting, you have observ-
ed they prance up to the plate full of
confidence and are likely to take rap
at almost anything and get away with
it. OF course, for man who works
with my speed, if you can stop the
next man you usually get by all right,
but if you don't they are likely to keep
! right on hitting.
"This pitching is a queer thing any
way. Some days you go into the box
feeling as though you didn't own
curve ball in the world and get away
with a few hits. while at other times
you step up full of confidence and are
batted to all parts of " field. A lot
of tie success of pitching depends on
how the other fellow happens to be
going on the days you work. When
they begin humping a pitcher he
might just as we'll get out, because
things must break awfully we'll for
him If he gets away with the game"

Potato Rot.

A man who has tried the expert
ment claims that it is very easy to pre-
vent potatoes from rotting by placing
in different parts of the cellar in which
they are kept box containing a guam
tity of lump slack lime. He states that
this lime absorbs the moisture which
has such a detrimental effect upon po-
tatoes and in his case has resulted in
keeping his stock Of this commodity
always in good condition. The plan is
simple enough and is well worth a
trial by any grocer who has had diff
ficulty in keeping his potatoes in a
damp cellar.

CUTTING TREES.
Economy Dictates That Saplings
Should Not Be FelIed.

Economy Dictates That sapIings
Should Not Be F'eIIed.
1t is worth while for farmers to pay
a little more attention to their farm
timber lots. Any one who has had to
,buy lumber lately knows that its price
is almost prohihitOry.
In fact, building operations on the
farm rs we'll as elsewhere have been
greatly kept back by the high prices
asked for all kinds of lumber.
Take a trip about the country, and
you will see some things that will
make your heart ache if you care any
thing for trees. In the mill yards Of
the east and middle west, where hem
lock and pine grow, you will find little
trees, hardly as large around as a
Etovepipe, waiting to be sawed.
Some of these will hardly make a
2 by scantling.
Ii those saplings could have been
permitted to stand a few years longer
they would have been worth many
times more than they are now. But
the spirit seems to be to cut the trees
down now and let them go for what
they will bring. This is quite in line
with much we do in other directions at
the present time. The dollar we can
get now Is the dollar we must have.
Tomorrow may look out for itself.
The farmer has it in his power to
put check to this waste. How? By
cutting only such trees as are dead or
beginning to die. The best farmers do
this themselves, and if they rent their
lands they insist that their tenants
shall do the same. And then they may
set out more trees.
If they are compelled to cut any live
trees for building purposes, they may
also set out other smaller trees to take
their place. They may also fight fire,
the worst enemy we have in our for
ests. They may work for better timber
laws. And they may educate their
boys to love the woods and try to keep
them growing.

CUCUM BERS.

Moisture.

They Need Plenty of Heat, Light and
Moisture.
To grow cucumbers to perfection
plenty of heat, light and moisture are
required. They will thrive in any
good soil not too heavy or sandy.
Seed may be sOwn as soon as the
danger of frost is past. Six or eight
seeds should be planted in each hill,
the hills being about six feet apart
each way.
In the early spring seed may be
sown in hills which are protected by
glass covered frames. When the
plants have grown to about four
inches in height and there seems to be
little danger of them being injured by
insects or other causes they should be
thinned out to about three plants in a
hill
Frequent cultivating is needed until
the vines begin to run freely. As GU
cumbers are subject to several dis
eases, the old wires should be de-
stroyed or cleared away in the autumn,
and the crop should not be planted
two years in succession on the same
land. The worst feature of cucumber
'culture is the insect pests, but these
may be controlled by busting with dry
insecticides or even with bone dust.
Cucumbers for picking should be
gathered when quite small. They may
be successfully preserved in brine,
from which they are taken as needed,
soaked in fresh water and placed in
vinegar. There are many varieties,
each good for a purpose.
