A MODEL LEAGUE7

The National Model License League
has an extremely busy press bureau
which seems to be conducted with more
zeal in the cause it champions than
present common sense and forethought.
This week it's contribution to dead
head publicity contains the following:
What boots it if we do have proht-
bition in Tennessee? My plans are laid.
They are making these laws for me-
That is, they are my self constituted
guardians and doing this thing, even
against my wish. My American spirit
will not yield-will not permit them to
do my thinking, nor direct my con-
science. nor how I shall worship God.
AS to what, and when, l eat and
drink. I allow no man to fix my stand
ard. and if perforce they fix the law, /,
too, will fix the law. My only danger IS
that, inasmuch I will have to keep a
larger supply, I will indulge the more
frequently in order that l may "shoW
them"
might yield to regulation will
not Weld to prohibition, be the result
what it may.
The letterhead upon which the re-
quest for publicity is made gives the
names of the directors of the league
and the firms with which they are
identified. With one exception these
firms are brewers or distillers. The one
execution makes slaves for beer kegs.
From the language quoted above the
nenitent tears shed the brewing and
distilling interests are of the crocodile
variety and their loud denunciation of
dives and law violators protestations
calculated to deceive. It is to be assumed
that the defiance to law uttered In the
above quotation expresses the senti-
ments and intent of the Model License
League or the league would not nave
exnended money for printing and
stamps to give it wide circulation.
81 might yield to regulation if I
couldn't keep myself
There is trouble brewing for brewers.
The model league needs remodeling.

WHAT lAFoLLEr1E IS TRYING TO Do2

Fridays reports on the proceedings
of the u. S. senate relate that:
When Mr. Hale called up the naval
bill late this afternoon Mr.. LaFollette
protested against it's consideration oe-
fore Monday. He said the bill was only
printed this morning and he desired 10
carefully study measure carrying
s137, 900, 900. He made it plain that ne
would tilibuster to kill time if not per-
mitted to have his way.
Mr.. Hale said he understood that MT.
LaFollette desired to reorganlZe the
senate. Mr.. LaFollette frankly al
mitted that he is striving to distribute
responsibility for legislation among the
ninety-two senators. He said the naVai
affairs committee had had the naval
bill since Jan. 25 and now expected tne
senate to pass it in three hours.
1t was made pla n by Mr.. Lafolietse
that from this tine on he intends TO
fight the present regime of the senate
at all times. He did not hesitate to de-

~INCE the condition Of the soil
VI has so much to do with the
Z readiness with which the plants
can get food from it one OF the
most important problems that confront
the farmer is the proper preparation OF
the ground The first work Of prepare
ton usually consists of blowing. Plow-
ing the ground pulverizes it to some
extent and burIes the weeds and trash
that lity be on the surface.
Flowing should not be done when the
soil is too wet, or the first Of these
objects will not be accomplished In
stead of being pulverized, the slice
turned up by the plow will be packed
together M 'e firmly than ever and
will bake TITO a hard clod. The fur
row slice will also turn up cloddy If
the soil is too dry
A good way to tell when field is in
proper condition to be plowed is to
squeeze ball Of the dirt in your hand.
If it sticks together in pasty mass
you had better let it dry a few days
longer. If it hangs loosely together III

one disking before sowing and one
afterward will cover them better than
two after sowing. The drill is becom-
ing more popular for sowing oats, and
Justly so. 1t places the seed at an
even depth and covers them all. 1t
saves seed because it places all OF 1t
where it has an opportunity to grow.
After the oats are drilled or disked In
at least two borrowings should be
given. Even three or four would not
be too many, since this is the last
chance to cultivate the crop.
In some parts Of the corn belt the
practice of listing corn is followed.
This consists in throwing up large
furrow and planting the corn in the
bottom of it. In this case there can
be little previous preparation Of the
ground unless it is to 60 over it once
with the disk. Corn is listed only on
very light soils, which do not puddle
or become cloddy easily. Such soils
need less preparation than the heavier
ulaya and loans.

appropration bills will not be passed
before adjournment.
Senator LaFollette is an "insurgen'.

PLAYED an unaccountable audacity
when they ask from Friday afternoon
to Monday for open consideration OF
bill carrying the sum of Sl37oeo,ooo

had passed the bill and sent 1t out 10
the helotry of the senate simply as d
process and procedure to come back
during the time the committee would
require to smoke a cigar. LaF'olle-te
objected. Hale .sneered at the senator
from wisconsin and assumed that the
objection was part of demand for re-

one Of the oldest and most famous
families in Scotland, Prince of the
Royal House Of England. and a Gretna
Green marriage.
The prince referred to was the Duke
of Gloucester. a younger brother of
George III and second grandson OF
George II. On Sept g. 1866. this prince
married Maria Dowager Countess of
Waldegrave, daughter of Sir Edward
Walpole. the rite being secretly SOL

house in Pail Mall. No other persons
were present
The secret was we'll kept, though
many persons in the encourage of the
court had their suspicious, until after
the passing of the Royal Marriage Act
when the duke notified to George III
of his own clandestine wedding.
The king at once banished him from
the court and ordered an inquiry
into the validity of the marriage. The
duke and duchess were accordingly
examined. and swore to the validity of
the ceremony. although by that time
dead, and no third party attested it.

Charles Wyman Morse, has lived
through more sensational personal and
years of life than any other prominent
financial figure in this country. He
has taken over, not only large en-
terprises and concerns but whole
lines of business. He has been. ac
cording to his own testimony, worth
$50, 900, 600, and seen it shrink to moth
ing. Within the last eight years he
has been celebrated for his CONSOLE
dations of ice companies banks, tele-
phone companies and steamship lines,
and at the same time his startling
share in the Dodge divorce case in
which Abraham Hummel was involved
Morse was born in Maine in 1885,
and started in business there with his
father after being graduated at Bow
doin college. He branched out into
the ice business on his own account.
and gradually became the head Of the
combination of ice concerns that he
formed into the American Ice COM
pany
Coming to New York he went into
banks steamship lines and real es-
tate 1t was the downfall of his banks,
loaded up with the securities of his
companies. in the fall of 1907, that
brought about his downfall. Morse
was thrown into bankruptcy in 1908.
Following his financial downfall he
was put on trial and in November,
1908. convicted of having misappro-
priated the funds of his former chief
bank. the National Bank Of North
America He was sentenced to fiji
teen years in the federal prison.
Morse expresses confidence that his
appeal will be successful and that the
conviction will be set aside. Even

made the goat of those higher up
in the world of finance. and that, II ne
