The Pansx.

Plant historians have never yet set
tied to their satisfaction just how the
pansy originated. 1t was known as
garden flower i'll England fully three
centuries ago, and the probability is
that it was developed from a certain
species of violet with tricolored petals,
which is still to be found growing wild
along British waysides and in other
parts Of northern Europe.
The old herbalist Gerade, describing
the "pansie, or hearts ease,n as he
knew it, says quantity that it has
flowers in form and figure like the
violet and for the the most part OF the
same bignesse of three sundry colors--
that is to say. purple, yellow and white
or blue-by reason of the beautie and
braverie of which colors they are
pleasing to the eye. For smell they
have little or none at all. The root is

HINTS FOR FARMERS
HarroWs and Their Uses.

The fine tooth harrow has place on
every farm. 1t levels and disintegrates
and comes in handily for tillage. 1t is
just the tool also for corn and cotton
after planting is done. and it is good
for the pasture field. 1t often pays its
way in wheatfields in the spring. and
for covering clover and grass seed it
often cannot be beaten. The spring
tooth harrow has earned its right to
place on the farm also. When level
ing and smoothing are TO be done or
soil nellowing is required after a
heavy rain has compacted the soil,
leaving it too hard for seeding pur-
poses, the spring tooth harrow fills the
bill. and fills it we'll

cotton or cowpeas or potatoes and in
some types of soil is just the tool TO

Late winter disking. followed by the

sections, giving admirable results. To

land preparation the harrow tools are

WE understand that the state fish
and game commission has already re-
ceiyed upwards Of $21, 900 from the
license fee for resident gunners, which
will be increased. undoubtedly, before
tho season for rabbit shooting is closed.
This means, of course, that men who
enjoy hunting have been required to
pay very reasonable price for their
pleasure, and, at the same time, the
state has been the gamer because the
money collected in this way is TO be
used for stocking fields, streams and
lakes with same, birds ard fish. 1t
has been the claim by good many per-
sons in the past that Too mn:h money
was taken ont of tie public reasury for
the purpose of propagating game, fish
and birds. Under the lGCsenJ scheme,
the gunner pays forhis sport. Theman
who enjoys hunting ought to be willing
to pay license Zee Of one dollar, es-
pecially when that dollar goes into a
fund used fer the purpose Of keeping
the field alive with BIRDS, and the
streams and lakes alive with fish,

Importance Of cutting. down appro-
priations for the coming fiscal year to
the smallest figure which will keep
the wheels Of government moving eff
fectively. Carve to the bone; am
with<you, is the greeting which he is
said to have just given to ex-senator
Hemenway of Indiana. AS an ex-
pert Mr.. Hemenway has been en-
ployed by the subcommittee of the
senate's committee on appropriations
to make a close examination of the
list of estimates which have been
made up by the heads of the various
departments, and to prepare a report
to the full committee on the methods
whereby expenses may be cut without
injury to the public service. There is
reason to believe that he is doing his
work well. He says that the appro-
priations have been increasing for a
long time at the rate of about $780,
100000 a year, and, as a consequence,
the outlay which was authorized at
the last regular session was $1,044,-
100000. 1t is Hemenway's aim to
point out ways in which this annual
increase will be cut off, and also TO re-
duce the aggregate outlay below the
billion-dollar line.

SEVERAL years ago, acting under
more or less direct orders from Presi-
dent Roosevelt, case was made
against the Standard Oh company I'M
der the Sherman Antitrust Act.
Over seven million words were record
ed in taking testimony, and the case
finally reached a decision in the Cir
cult Court at St. Louis. The court
sustained the government lawyers and
ordered the dissolution of the Stand
ard Oil company Of New Jersey. The
company's lawyers have a certain num-
Der of days within which to file an APP
peal, and they say they will do it as
soon as possible. This will take the
case to the U. S. SupremeSCo and
it is possible that the lower court may
be sustained, but the trial will not
take place for some time to come. AS
it stands, the decision brands the
STANDARD Oil company as monopoly
in restraint of trade.

A RARE and interesting event of the
coming legislative session will be the
vote on proposed amendment to the
Federal Constitution. 1t is more than
forty years since Governor Randolph
received the engrossed exemplified
copy of the last constitutional amend
ment resolution adopted by the Con-
gress, with its big seal and signatures.
1t was transmitted to the Senate with
a. message and was delivered by Secre-
tary Hall. Staff Little was President
that year, and Joe" Cornish was sec
rotary. Leon Albeit was Speaker
and Mayor Johnson, of Trenton, was
clerk. There is no one left in the
states service who took part in the
event, and very few of them alive.
That resolution became the celebrated
fifteenth amendment, and was one of
the closing events of the reconstruc-
tion period. AS was announced Gov
ernor Fort has received a copy Of the
income tax resolution that was adopt
ed by Congress at its last session. This
resolution is to surrender to the Fed
eral Government one of the rights in
cluded in the tenth amendment adopt
ed in 1888. 1t will authorize Congress
to impose tax on the incomes of in
dividuals by classification or other
wise. Under the Constitution the
only direct tax that the Federal Gov
eminent can levy is upon the states
according to their population.

JUSTICE REED, in the opinion of the
Supreme Court filed last week, up
holding the constitutionality of the
Frelinghuysen automobile law, says
that the stringent legislative restric-
lions that have received judicial APP
proval exhibit the fact that the auto
mobile is regarded as dangerous en-
CINE if used otherwise than under the
control provided by the legislature.
1t is apparent that these restrictions
upon the manner in which highways
shall be used by automobiles can only
be made effective by penalties, and the

IT is understood that in his message
to the legislature, Governor Fort will
recommend the creation of board of
control whose duty shall be to pur-
chase all supplies for the state insti-
buttons. He made such recommend
alton in his message last winter, and
theidea was received with divided
sentiment. 1t is extremely doubtful
if the experiment is worth the trying
because it would mean the placing of
the expenditure of hundreds of thou
sands OF dollars IN the lands of three
or perhaps five men, who would have
greater opportunity to graft than
those who purchase the supplies for
the various institutions now have,
says the Estate Gazette" Supplies
for these institutions are now pur-
chased under competitive system.
BY this we mean that specifications
showing what is needed in the various
departments of each institution are
prepared, and bids for these supplies
are asked for in public print. The law
requires that the lowest bid shall be
accepted. and the bids are opened in
The presence of the members of the
boards of managers of the various in
situations. To talk of graft in connec-
ton with such system is ridiculous.
To talk of an opportunity for graft
under such system is ridiculous. To
say that " it is matter of common
knowledge that men of grating pro-
clivities invariably seek those offices
and appointments where they will be
in position to distribute large sums of
money in dealing for supplies" is a
privilege that the trouble hunter al
ways has, but it happens that under
the present laws, in this state, nobody
in connection with state institution
is Ia a position to deal fer supplies.
The l0yest bidder, if he bids in accord
ance With the specifications, must be
given the contract TO furnish the sup
plies. The members Of the boards of
managers of the state institutions are
men and women who give their service
without cost to the state. They do
their work conscientiously and we'll.
They are working to-day under the
same restriction of action that would
govern the proceedings of a paid board
of governors, and they are not part
or parcel of political machine.
