WILL Il. II. AID LODGE!
By Clyde H. Tavenner, Special Cor

By Clyde H. Tavenner, Special Cor
respondent of this Newspaper.
Kansas City, Aug 18.-Word has
come into the west via the Associated
Press that Roosevelt will campaign
for the reelection of Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts who
declares the ultimate consumer is a
myth.
Roosevelts admirers are su:pins
hard over this information They
have been educated by LaFollette and
other genuine progressives to know
Lodge as a tool of Aldrich and the
special interests.
They also have the word of no less
er authority than Representative But
Ter Ames, republican insurgent of
Lodges own state of Massachusetts,
that the political machine of Sena-
tor Lodge backed by all the large
corporations" and is used to advance
the selfish financial schemes of the
large railroads, banking and manu-
featuring interests he (Lodge) serves
in the halls of congress-
RoOsevelt's great popularity has
been largely due to the belief of the
people that he was the enemy of such
corporation servers as Lodge
Therefore, all over the land the ex-
presidents friends are asking: How
can Roosevelt conscientiously speak
for man like Lodge, when he does
nothing for men like LaFollette2"
The mere asking of this question
has the tendency of placing Roosa-
welt on the defensive And il is bad
for any politician, great or small. to
be on the defensive.

Kansas City Aug. 1S.-Republican n
spellbinders have intimated the dem
ocratic party stands for free trade
Every country in the world, including
Great Britain, leyies some tariff. and
this country must always do so.
The democratic position on the
subject is substantially as follows:
First-The government should new
er collect one penny more of revenue
than necessary to administer it's af-
fairs with rigid economy.
Second-The lowest rate that will
yield the greatest amount of revenue
should be imposed
Third-LuXuries should always
bear the highest revenue duties.
Fourth-Experience has vindicated
the wisdom of the ad valOrem duties
as being the correct practice.
Fifth-Revenue duties should be
laid so as to operate with equality
throughout the Union, discriminating
neither for nor against any class or
section.
SiXth-Absolute necessities should
go on the free list.
Seventh-There should be imposed
a revenue duty upon practically all
imports, with certain exceptions.
These exceptions should be deter
mined by the test.
Imports coming in competition with
trust-controlled products should be
placed on the free list, and articles
of absolute necessity should be i'm

New England Farming.

A writer III the Outlook compares
the production by acreage of various
crops in New England with those in
Western states. which have become
famous by the bulk of their produc-
tion, and shows. surprising as it is to
most of us, that the New England soil
acre by acre is the more productive.
How many people know. or will believe
that New Hampshire leads the coun-
try in its corn yield by the acre? Yet
its average is ~ bushels to the acre.
Connecticuts is 40 and Massachusetts,
80. plus, while Illinois has 80 bushels,
minus, and Kansas only IS. A Massa-
chusetts man took second prize at
an Omaha corn show with 1872 bushels
of shelled corn to the acre. Iowa has
il times as much farm land as Massa-
chuSetts yet its crops are worth only
nine times as much; Illinois has 10
times the area but only eight times the
value. and Kansas has Is times the
area with only four and a half times
the value
AS New England farms are, as a
rule OF comparatively small size. they
are naturally managed in the intensi-
ned system OF cultivation, afl every
thing possible is secured from an acre.
In the west, where cultivation is car
ried on on a vast scale there is
naturally no such careful and intensi-
fled cultivation. Yet the New England
policy IS the proper one.--New Or
lears Pica!une

A Medical Opinion.

The writer's advice to all is, shun
vaccinia as you would any other pesti-
ferrous disease and distrust either the
wisdom or sincerity of any physician
who recommends or practises it. Vac
cination is the very worst of all the
many harmful decisions of our pro-
fession. 1t has never in the slightest
degree aided in lessening the preva-
lence OF smallpox, nor in initiating
the severity of the diesase. On the
other hand. it is impossible to over
estimate its far-reaching, deplorable
effects on the public health.
1t is unnitigated evil and as Pro-
fessor Alfred Russell Wallace the
dean of English scientists" has de-
clared, Its compulsion is the crime of
the century" Professor Francis w.
Newman has said, Whoever teaches
the doctrines that to spread any natu-
raj or artificial disease is conductive
to the public health is a perNerter of
common sense and an enemy of the
human race"
Improved personal and general SAINT
tation has been the only means If
banishing or lessening all the plaques,
rs cholera. yellow fever. scurVy. small
poX, etc. In days to come vaccination
will be classed among the criminal
operations just as happened to mo
culation. a procedure once as popular
with the profession as vaccination is
today.-New York Herald.
