ACCORDING to James R. Garfield,
late Secretary of the interior, an
irrepressible conflict now con-
fronts the Republican party, and Mr..
Garfield wants it known that he is
an insurgent. There are indications
that Ohio is to be the important
battle ground between the progress
siye and the reactionary Republican
factions. OF the latter, Taft is
forced to be the latter, while Car
field will represent the progressives.
Roosevelt is getting himself into a
scrape. He has promised to speak
in Indiana for Beyeridge, who is, If
possible, a more radical insurgent
than Garfield; and he has also pro-
missed to 90 to Massachusetts and
help Lodge, the close ally of AID
rich. Lodge is badly in need of as
sistance. With one foot in Boston
and the other in indianapolis.
Teddy will suffer hard strain, with
Taft shiverinS and groaning at
Beverly. With his feet over 4
thousand miles apart, can Teddy
successfully carry water on both
shoulders: But Massachusetts is be-
coming insurgent, and Lodges CON
dition is growing desperate.

THE affection and loyalty Of the
people Of Louisiana for the late SEN
ator McEnery was due to his record
rs member OF the Confederate
army, in which he served with dis
tinction, and not because Of the
stand ne took with the Republicans
for the high protective tariff. The
people of that state, outside Of the
sugar interests, which, ike all other
interests, IS selfish, are opposed to
the Aldrich-Payne robber tariff.
The stand taken by the late senator
is in no way to be taken as repre-
senting the feeling or interests Of
the people of Louisiana. They
loved him for his personality, not
for his political principles.

COLD STORAGEEREGULATED.

Chicago, July ia special from
Washington says: Efficient regula-
ton of the cold storage business is
to be urged during the next session
Of Congress. The first step will be
bill prescribing that no food pro-
ducts shall be kept in cold storage
warehouse in any territory for more
than six months. Such measure
will serve as a model for the States.
The Fedora! authorities are search
ing also Tor some constitutional
method which viii enable Federal
supervision OF the storage business,
regarding such action as necessary to
the public health. The legislation
will be supplementary to the pure
food law.
1t is possible for the Agricultural
department, under the provisions of
this law, to condemn any food in
cold storage which is perilous to
health. But DR.. Wiley, chief chem
ist, says the authority of the Govern
ment is not sufficient to protect peo-
pie from the cold storge evil.

FIGHT PICTURES AND Law.

We confess that we feel a good
deal as Brand Whitlock, mayor OF
Toledo, expresses himself regarding
the almost hysterical agitation for
the suppression of the Jefries- John
son fight pictures. 1t may be wise
to put them under the ban where
conditions are such as to warrant
fears Of race clashes. But aside
from that consideration, We are out
Ct sympathy with the recredesence
of Anglo-Saxon morality that
suddenly wakes up to the fact that
all this 1.-THE exhibition of the fight

ent to the fact that, in the tene-
meuts and slums, children are dying
by thousands for lack of proper care,
that half million men are killed or
manned annually by the industrial
machines Of the country for want Of
proper laws or enforcement of laws
for safety appliances, and that
numerous other things far more
brutal than the Reno fight are over
looked or condoned because to agi-
tate against them is bad for Big Bust
ness.
In this connection We must record
our emphatic approval of the answer
Of Mayor Gaynor, of New York, to a
minister who urged him to suppress
the exhibition in that city of the
fight pictures:

TnoueH lauded excessively in GER
tain quarters for the amount of legis-
lat;on accomplished, the present
congress has done about as much as
many Gifts predecessors and no more.
Perhaps the most notable measures
passed we're the railroad bill and the
postal savings bank bill. But the
former j. but the compliment and
necessary corollary of railroad legisla-
ton that has long been before the
national legislature. The bill was
needed to make the present laws
effective. The postal savings bank
bill doesn't seem to have been wild ~
crayed for. These are doubts if the
funds, under the present law, may
not be manipulated in the interest
and for the use of the big moneyed
interests and to help out the Wall
street crowd when an appeal is made
to the government for aid, as is not
infrequently the case. What would
have been appreciated by the people,
and saved them from being robbed of
millions upon millions every year by
the express combinations, would have
been adoption of a parcels post law.
But the congress didn't come within
cannon range of that.

DON'T CALL HER TIE OLD WOMAN.

Was it you young man, We heard
using those words when speaking Of
your mother THE old woman. !"
A nice phrase to be using about the
dear soul who kept her vigil over
you in your infancy, kissing away
your tears in childhood and remains
your trusted friend in maturity. Is
that all the love you have for the
silver-haired mother who bathed
your scorching brow all through the
long sleepless nights affection,
when your brain was wild with burn
ing fever? Is there no other term
you can find for her whose love has
followed you through every trial,
tribulation and misfortune of your
life: Has mother, through all these
years of labor, watching and waiting,
been wasting her love on worthless
bunch of clay, who, in the rosy dawn
of manhood has no other term more
fitting than the old woman, by
which to address or speak of his
mother: Mother, young man, is
the sweetest name in all the world
and should be held in reverence by
every boy. The time is coming
when her feeble hands will be folded,
her watchful eyes closed and the
lips once warm with mothers love
will be cold, the fond heart whose
anxious beating once followed your
maynard feet will be stilled forever.
So while YOU can, call her mother;
you will miss her when she's gone.
Remember what she has suffered for
you. When every friend has for
saken you, mother is true as steel.
And now that she IS step by step
going down life's other side, to near
the waters edge and to step across,
comfort her old age by speaking
kindly and atFectionately to her and
make her feel that life was not lived
in vain, and all the toll without
recompense. Lead her gently
through her old age and when you
speak of her or to her, do not style
her as the old woman, but place
a kiss upon her wrinkled brow and
say mother and in a way repay
her for the many heartaches she has
suffered in your behalf. Sing to her
softly, and see the light of love come
to her eyes as she hears her boy say
in tones which seem to her as gentle
as the rustic of an angels wing,
Mother, love you.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

During the recent session of con
gress, the Republicans were finally
induced, after a severe lashing by
their constituents, to pass Bill for
the establishment of Postal Savings
Banks. This was one of the planks
in the Republican platform, on
which Taft was elected, and if the
constituencies of these Congressman
had not been persistent in their de-
mands, Congress would have yielded
to the threats, arguments and ques-
tionable means employed by the
Bank Trust of the country to defeat
the bill.
As an evidence of the absolute
Subserviency of the present admin
istration to the powerful trusts and
monopolieS Of the country, this most
beneficial act IS being largely nulli-
fed by the unnecessary delay in
putting the measure into operation.
From all over the country people are
clamoring for the establishment of
these banks, as guarantee of de-
posts, and yet the President and
Postmaster General are giving as
little attention to this matter as pos
sible. They hate the law because
Bryan forced them to it. Statistics
show that in Great Britain alone,
that little Island, which is no larger
than Texas, the people have de-
posted more than one billion dollars
in the Government Postal Savings
Banks. The great success in Eng
land only shows what tremendous
good these Banks accomplish, when
they are operated by the Govern
ment in the interest of the small
saver.
The public is at last getting wise
to the fact that the President has
not only unpatriotic, but corrupt
members in his official family, who
are kept there to satiate private
greed and TO defraud the public, and
that the President is secretly serving
the trusts and monopolieS, and wink
ing at the public. These things
have convinced the country that the
Republican party is reekins with
corruption and that it IS time to turn
it out of power, and put honest
Democrats in office. There is no
doubt whatever, but that this fall
will witness the greatest routing
that the Republican party has ever
sustained, and that if the party does
get over it, it will never look the
same.

The Farmer Independent.

The farm ought to be, first of all,
self sustaining. The ideal farm home
is one which is absolutely independent,
as far as subsistence is concerned, of
all the outside world. It is the great
beauty of farm life-where farming is
followed as it ought to be-that the
farmer is the arbiter of his own for
tune; that his farm is nation in minia
ture; one independent entirely, in which
each member of the family has properly
appointed functions to nerform and
wherein every dollars worth of produce
sold is that much balance of trade in
favor of the farm. The proper func-
ton Of the farm is to produce its own
revenue of subsistence, and afterward to
supply "for a valuable consideration"
the needs of non-producers; and all pur
chases should be such as add to the
material and mental resources of the

(such as markings on stained terminal
branches, on ammoniated fruits, or in
connection with bark excretions) some
times resemble the markings caused by
melanOse. However, the markings on
the stained terminal branches are usual
ly not raised and are not made up Of
collections Of small spots. The same is
true of the markings on ammoniated
fruit; while gum masses also occur in
the angles of the segments of anmOniat-
ed fruits, but not in melanosed fruits.
The bark excretions of die-back are
usually masses of a gum-like substance
which does not appear in melanOse.
Melanose starts its development only
on young tissue, and first appears as
be seen with the unaided eye. Under
is seen to consist of brownish, wax
like mass AS the markings develop
they become raised areas. A yellowing
of the tissue surrounding these spots
sometimes appears.
Distribution.
MelanOSe occurs in all parts of the
State, even in the most isolated 1ocali-
ties. 1t has been found prevalent upon
sour orange trees at Gulf Hammock,
Fla, where there were no other groves
within radius of fifteen miles. During
the present season melanose has in
creased in prevalence and severity. It's
presence on the fruit has caused money
loss that will be large in the total for
the year. Like many other diseases it's
prevalence varies from year to year,
probably from climatic conditions DIR
ing the past two years it has been in
creasing in severity. Melanose is also
prevalent in the West Indian Islands;
and in Australia the citrus trees have
been reported as suffering SO much from
this disease that the crop was diminish
ing.
