Congress Complacently Passive.

There is yet no promise of action on the part of
Congress III response to the formal demand of the
manufacturers of the country for the creation of a
commission to procure data upon which to readiust
tariff legislation The president of the National AS
sociation of Manufacturers and the chairman of the
tariff committee of the same association made the
appeal IN person some two weeks ago.
Through its managers, Congress has said that
nothing would be done until after the presidential
election The visiting representatives of industrial
interests said that if they waited until 1909 for ac
tom they would be asked to wait ten years longer
Evidently they have taken the full measure of tn,
fanaticism of standpattism
They are Republicans and protectionists and thev
declared that they had the facts to prove that the
existing tariff is not protective but is an oppressive
burden on industry and labor. Besides the manufac-
turing interests of the country those two men repre-
sented III Washington, by authority the agricultur-

few politicians, who, unfortunately for the coun-

The representatives visiting at Washington said
they would take the issue into politics during the
coming campaign if they not accorded fair

Why Colds Are Dangerous.

Because you have contracted ordi-
nary colds and recovered from them
without treatment of any kind. do
not for moment imagine that colds
are not dangerous. Everyone knows
that pneumonia and chronic catarrh
have their origin in a common cold.
Consumption is not caused by a cold
but the cold prepares the system for
the reception and development of the
germs that would not otherwise have
found lodgment. 1t is the same with
all infections diseases. Diphtheria,
scarlet fever. measles ana wnouping
cough are much more likely to be
contracted when the child has cold
You will see from this that more
real danger turks In cold than in
any other Of the common ailments.
The easiest and quickest way to cure
cold is to take Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy. The many remark
able cures effected by this prepara-
tiun have made it a staple article of
trade over large part of the world.

Price Never Chanqed.

The Rev. Simon Turpie was an elo-
quent speaker. but he seemed to have
a list of sermons which, when he once
began, he went right through to the
end and then started at the first Ser
mon again, and so on.
\ young man in the congregation
was about to leave for South Africa,
but the Sunday before he departed he
attended the church service.
In the course Of his lecture the min
lister used an illustration in which were
the words. "A MAJ can easily purchase
two sparrows for threepence."
The young man. after being absent
for about three years. returned and
again on the first opportunity attended
divine service. Strange to say, he
heard the same narrative by the same
minister. the phrase striking him most
being about the two sparroWs for
threepence."
At the close of the service the min
lister, in his courtesy, came and shook
hands with the youth and. welcoming
him back, to his home. asked him if
he noticed any changes about the
place.

New Use Fer MISCELLANEOUS.

Mrs Xelia Nuttall, the archaeOlogist,
was making some excavations in Mex
leo. The Indians were removing the
earth some distance from the point of
excavation in the customary manner
that is, on piece of coarse cloth tied
between two poles. stretcher fashion.
carried by two Indians This method
seemed rather laborious to Mrs. Nut
tall. so she ordered several iron wheel
barrows from the city. When they
arrived she turned them over to the
foreman after explaining to him what
they were for and how to use them.
Next day when she visited the work
the Indians had discarded their print
tive parihuelas and were using the
bright new wheelbarroWs. AS each
barrow was filled with earth 1t was
picked up by two Indians. one using
the handles and the other the wheel.
and carried to the place where the
earth was to be deposited. All efforts
to get the Indians to use the wheel
barrows properly failed, and they kept
on carrying them until the work was
finished

PROGRESS OF WOMAN SUFFRAGE

Sixty years ago, woman had no
vote anywhere, except the school
ballot in Kentucky and in some
parts of Canada and the munich
pal vote in Sweden. Now they
vote for all officers in Finland, Nor
way, Australia, New Zealand, Colo
RADIO, Wyoming, Utah and the Isle
Of Man. They vote for municipal
officers in England, Scotland, Ire
land, Canada, Kansas, Sweden,
Denmark and Iceland. They vote
for Judges of Tribunals of CONNER
ce in France and for school officers
in half of the states in the Union.
Agitation of the question in this
state is coming to the front. Local
associations are being formed and a
campaign is being made throughout
the state. The question will be
brought to the attention of the leg
islature of the Evergreen state at
their forthcoming biennial session.
The Woman's clubs and organiza-
tons of the town and Benton coun-

PROF. SEVERANCE GIVES DIFFER
ENT METHODS OF DESTROY
ING THE PEST OF The
WHEAT FIELDS

Prof. George Severance, Professor
of 4Agronomy in the Pullman State
College, in reply to letter has given
the following methods of fighting
and eradicating the Jim Hill Mus
tard. He says: / do not answer
this letter with any expectation of
receiving applause from the readers
for | can suggest no easy method OF
fighting this pest but must outlil e
system of thorough culture and
somewhat concerted action for
carrying on the fight. One of the
first things to aid in this campaign
is to practice early and thorough
working of the summer fallow lands
in order to hold enough moisture to
terminate all weed seeds in the up
per portion of the soil. II this carly
working is followed ty thoro sum
mer cultivation with some good
Weeder so that no weeds are allow
ed to seed, this will accomplish
much. A second opportunity for
giving this pest a blow is to disc tie
stubble lands as soon as possible
after harvest is over to encourage
the termination of all weed seeds
that may be near the surface so that
in blowing they will be eradicated
instead of turned under only TO be
thrown up later to cause further
trouble. A third suggestion is to
keep sheep and fence your farms
with hog tight fence. Sheep will
eat most all weeds particularly when
small and succulent and will do
much to prevent their going to seed
in waste places and along the fences.
Their work, however must be sup
plemented by the use of a scythe
wherever any stray weeds are found
about to seed. The hog tight fence
serves to prevent the weeds from the
farms of careless neighbors from
blowing on adjoining lands.
In regard to spring narrowing fall
sown grain will say | consider it an
excellent practice but the wheat
should be allowed to become well
rooted before using the harrow.
We have narrowed fall wheat at
Pullman when four or five inches
high with excellent results but if
the wheat is scarcely started you
are apt to pull up a considerable
quantity. You will find the wheat
when well rooted will stand consid-
erable' more digging than the
mustard plants at that time and
that is where your opportunity for
good work lies,
Regretting that am unable to
give you any short cut to salvation,
