REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE.

mento, is confident that the Re- publicans of this State are over whelmingly in favor of Taft as the party nominee. Perhaps they are, but how did Colonel Forbes find it out? What the profes- sional politician wants and what the people who do the voting want are not always the same, but the politician is in the habit of mistaking himself for the people and his desires for public opinion whereby he fools him. self a whole lot and brings his most elaborate plans to a sad end.
 The active politicians, the men who make a noise like boom, and the patriots who are willing to save the country are having their innings now. They think they are the whole works and what they do will settle the question. It is just as we'll that they are busy with their schemes, plots and counterplots, for it all amuses them and doesn't affect the result. When they are done with their scheming and brass band booming, the people will get busy and tell them whom they must nominate.
 Possibly public opinion may may pick Taft as the favorite. He seems to be big enough for the job, and Roosevelt's approval will go a long way toward satis- flying the people that Taft can be depended upon to continue the good work of convincing corpor- ations that it is safer to obey the law than to hire lawyers like Elihu Root to show them how to break it. But there is a notion in the heads of a great many men, who are not politicians, that one Charles Hughes, now Governor of New York, would be a good man to finish the work begun by Roosevelt.
 Hughes is not a candidate and he does'nt do or say anything to encourage politicians to work for him. Machine politicians of New York get up bogus and unauthorized Hughes movements and have them knocked out at party councils, and then the news goes out that "the Hughes forces" were routed. Their purpose is to make it appear that Hughes is actively cam paigning and that he can't get the support of New York, and so to discredit him politically.
 Tricks like that may be smart, but they are vain. If the peo- pie conclude that they want Hughes for President they will have him in spite of all the cunning trickery of those very stupid persons. the politicians. Or if the politicians refuse to listen to the people and nomi- nate a man whom the people do not want, that candidate is going to be beaten. It is a wise politician who finds out first what the voters are going to do, and then shows them how to do it.

A man living at Maud wants to know
If he can irrigate his trees by means
of water wagon and barrels. Pro-
fessor Thornber did not favor the plan,
stating:
"This would be rather too complex.
| am of the opinion that you will find
it too great an expense, considering
the value of team and man, to haul
this water during the summer. The
station would advise you to try and
conserve this moisture by means of
culture. This could be done with good
effect during the summer months. |
have had considerable experience on
the state college campus in hauling
water; and have concluded, first that
it is impracticable to place water
around the tree without heavy mulch
of straw; second, that nothing much
less than barrel Of water for each
tree at each watering, should be given.
This will soak the ground up fairly
well, and in our case, did not need to
water the trees on the campus more
than twice during the summer. do
not know that it will be possible for
you to make use of heavy mulch, but
in order to hold the water, it is neces-
sary to do SO. You can use rotted
straw for this, or forest leaves. -

PARASITES THAT SAP LIFE
EXPELLED BY NEW METHOD

The interest created in leading
cities daring the past year by young
Mr.. Cooper with his new preparat-
ton, is largely accounted for by a
peculiar quality possessed by this
medicine, which he calls his New
Discovery.
Mr.. Cooper believes that internal
parasites, or tapeworms, are respon-
sible for much i'll health. and IL Is
an undoubted fact that his medicine
has expelled immense numbers of
these creatures in various cities Wis
iited by him. The young man also
believes that stomach trouble is the
main cause of all III health. He
claims that few can have poor health
with a good digestion. He furather
claims that his New Discovery med
icine does nothing but tone up inc
stomach, yet IL not only expels the
parasites but relieves many other
ailments not as rule associated
with stomach trouble.
