EAST CHICAGO ELKS'
PICNIC EXCURSION
Ride to Hudson Lake on
Interurban for Days
Outing.
FAR WAY TO AMBER FLUID
Arrangements for Day in Hands Of M.
S. Silverman, Abe Ottenheimer
and G. L. Kirk.

East Chicago, July 12.-The Elks Of
this city had one Of their famous day
outings yesterday when they with their
families and friends gathered to the
number of three hundred under the
spreading branches of a park at Hud-
son Lake to enjoy the pleasures in
cident to the usual run of events Of
this character.
There was only one drawback to the
festivities. and that was that when
ever thirsty Elk desired to INDUCED
his craving for the amber thirst
quencher, he was formed to withdraw
from the park a half a mile or so. as
beverage of that nature were not per
mitted on the grounds. AS the Elks
had not stinted themselves in their
supply of this feature Of the refresh
ments, there was general exodus
every so often, on the part OF the mas
culine element represented at the out
ing, and some of these whose thirsts
would brook of no hiatus between
drinks, preferred to remain in the vi
cinity of the base Of supplies, through
out teh day.
Besides beer, the picnickers had gen
erously supplied themselves with other
good things to cheer the inner man,
and no Elk, 1t is safe to say, was forced
to go hungry, no matter how large an
appetite he acquired by reason Of the
open air, the open sky and natures

Can 1t Be Trusted.

The Democratic national platform
last year contained these sentences:
eve welcome the belated promise Of
tariff reform now affected by the Re-
publican party, but the people
cannot safely trust the execution of
this important work to a party which
is so deeply obligated to the highly
protected interests. We favor imme-
date revision of the tariff by the re-
duction of import duties. Articles en-
tering into competition with trust
controlled products should be placed
upon the free list. We demand the i'm
mediate repeal of the tariff on pulp,
print paper. lumber, timber and logs. >.
In the house Of Representatives q
month ago forty Democrats voted
against free lumber. In the Senate
last week seventeen Democrats did the
same. Thus a specific demand of the
Democratic platform was defeated by
Democratic votes. Democratic votes
also defeated free hides and free iron.
For the first time in fifty years Demo
Gratis this spring have had an opportu-
nifty, with the aid Of progressive Re
pubicans. to give effect to their pre-
tense of principle. This shameful rec
ord shows how basely they have ac-
quilted themselves
In their platform the Democrats say
that Republicans cannot be trusted;
who now will trust the Democrats Z?
They say they favor immediate re-
duction of taxation; within the last
sixty days 102 CT the III Democrats
in the House have voted repeatedly
against reducing taxes and seventeen
of thirty-two Democrats in the Senate
have done likewise. They say they
favor the free list for articles enter
ing into competition with trust-con-
troIled products; lumber, hides and
iron are all controlled by trusts. They
specifically demand the immediate re-
peal of the tariff On lumber and they
make haste only to fasten that odious
steal upon the country for another de-
cade.
These are political sins for which
punishment is certain. They affront
decency and coed faith. They reveal
degradation in our Political life
which almost passes belief. They put
the Democratic party on trials not for
its principles but for its honesty. Err
rors of judgment may be defended and
excused, but perfdy finds no apologist
anywhere. A political party that is
false to itself is false also to the peo-
pie. and the judgments which they
inhict are final.

Dogs Helping.

The dogs of Kentucky are Indirectly
contributing largely to the education

school fund received S43, 712 from the
tax on dogs. This year there will be
a much better showing. 1t is estimated
hat the school fund will receive the
handsome sum of $50. $50 from this tax
after all claims for sheep killed by
dogs are paid. And thus is the despis-
ed dog proving a public benefactor.

veloped is the question of what crops
to plant Because of the peculiar
crop growing conditions prevailing, it
is evident that the farm crops common
ly grown in irrigated or humid Sec
tions will not all be equally well adapt
ed to produce returns on the dry
farm.
In order that crop may be adapted
to dry land culture 1t must possess
certain characters. Some of these
which seem essential are strong early
growth, comparatively strong deep
roofing system and early maturity.
These characters are of value in as
sisting the crop to progress rapidly
during May and June when rains are
frequent and the weather is somewhat
cool SO that maturity may be reached
before the hot days of the summer
set In.

DRY FARMING EXPERIMENTS

Investigations to determine some Of

started during the spring of 1905.
The aim in taking up this line of
experimentation was not to test all

rather by using few Of the most
promising crops handled in the best
known manner. to determine II crop

reported along but few lines at this

furnish an answer to the general ques-
tion by indicating that profitable crops
can be raised on the level lands OF
Montana without the aid Of irrigation.
