A PLATFORM BLOCKER.


The platform has been blocked cut
IN the rough, presumably under the I'M
mediate direction of Wade H. Ellis. He
blocked out the platform for the Chi
cagO convention of 1905 that nominat-
ed Mr.. Taft for President. 1t IS the
intention that it shall be a model plat
form which other States can utilize. f
they wish to please the President. 1t
almost goes without saying that the
platform will heartily endorse President
Taft and his administration put IN
O. X. upon the tariff bill. the rallraad
bill. the conservation measures aud the
like. Just what it will do with Sena-
tor Dick, who is a candidate for re
election and who has won a majority
a big majority-in the senatorial pri-
mary is open to some question He
and his friends would like an cndor e.
ment of his candidacy by the conven-
ton, but opposing factions are fght:ng
that. Senator Dick belonged 20 the
old Ohio machine, which the Taftltes
during the last presidential campaign
put upon the scrap heap. He undoubt

other senatorial aspirants and 1t re
mains to be seen whether the factions
not in accord with him, can prevent
the legislature from rejecting him, il
it be Republican. He not only holds the
whip hand in the senatorial contest
but because of the overwhelming en-
dorsement he obtained at the primary
gains great influence in the political
councils of the Buckeye State. Fur
Their he is conceded to be the master
politician of them all, and that fact
counts for much where men play such
fine politics as the Ohioans do.
And vet. Wade H. Ellis is probably
the man who knows what the Presl
dents wishes are about the Ohio con

OUR NATIONAL GREATNESS
Some Records, Such as Fire Losses,
Not to BE Proud OF.

some Records, Such as Fire Louses,
Not to BE Proud OF.
Our national habit of boasting, wAlle
1t has no more grievous result than
to make us appear ridiculous, amounts
to a species of self-deception which
is both ludicrous and reproachful, says
the New York Mail. To say that we
are the richest nation in the word
Is merely stating single fact, 20
say that we are the most wasteful, is
stating another truth which is equal
ly important, even though it be less
pleasing to the national pride. We
are wasteful-almost criminally waste
ful-not only of our great natural re-
sources such as timber and coal, but
OF human life itself The record is
more than record-it is an indict-
ment.
Take the story of fire losses by way
OF illustration. The census bureau in
report concerning fire departments
and fire losses in 1853 leading Ameri-
can cities in 1907 states that the losses
m those municipalities amounted to
more than $48,000,00O, on which there
was $42,0O0,000 of insurance. William
II. Tolman, director of the New York
museum Of safety appliances, states
that the per capita fire loss of the
United States in 1907 was $2.5S, which
was twice as great as the average
among the great nations of Europe.
1t is estimated by recognized experts
that due care and the use of approved
preventive measures would effect a
yearly saving of $S6O,OO0,OOO worth OF
property in the United States.
Consider the cost of protection from
ire in this country. The per capita
average in the 1913 cities covered by
the census report was $1.65 in 1907.
The per capita in Berlin is 26 cents
a year. In London it is 10 cents, and
In Milan only IL cents. In the 15S
American cities that had $4,000, 900
of fire losses in 1907 the taxpayers
were assessed $4,000, 900 for the maiu.
tenance of their fire departments. The
protection was costly and it protect
ed only in a limited degree.

Corn of any variety is at its best for
feeding or silage as it comes from the
field when about half OF the ears are
just past the age for table use-conl-
monty called roasting ear stage and
the lower leaves on the stalk are be-
ginning to dry out, says Hoard's Dairy
man. For soiling purposes, It Is inn
practicable to have the crop at its very
best for any considerable time, Com
mence to cut a few days before II
reaches its maximum value and com
tinue after this stage is passed. Ex-
periments appear to have demonstrate
ed that for fodder the largest amount
of nutriment per acre is obtained by
planting in continuous rows and so
thick that the tendency to form ears
will be much lessened. The yield per
acre depends so much upon the yarie-
ty and the soil and care in planting
and cultivating that no satisfactory
estimate of the average can be given.
There is almost no limit to the amount
that may be fed provided one COM
mences with a limited amount and In
creases gradually up to the limit OF
each cows appetite. but probably thir-
ty to forty pounds a day is about as
much as 1t would usually be profitable
to feed.

The best time of the year to look
over farm for the purpose of buying
is In the summer, just before the
binders get to work. The good and
poor places will show up then as at
no other time, and. II the season prior
to that time has been an average one,
the crop will be a fair index of the
value OF the land. The common prac-
tice of going farm hunting just after
the springs work is over has little to
commend 1t. save the inconsiderable
matter of time saved. The poorest time

Is when 1t is covered with drifts Of

Fearful Loss of Life.

fearful Loss of Life.
Seventeen persons are known to
have been killed in Mississippi. From
Terre Bonnie, on the coast OF Louisiana,
there came stories of heavy loss of life,
while points in interior Mississippi tell
of casualties in the country districts
now inaccessible because of interrupted
wire service.
While the major part of the damage
has been done to growing crops, scores
of buildings, residences and business
houses have been unroofed or. demol-
ished. The five states devastated by
the storm are Mississippi, Louisiana,
Tennessee, Arkansas and Alabama.
lightning Brings Death.
When the gale struck Sturgis, Miss,
five persons were killed by the collapse
of store building. Bradley and
Chapel, in the same district, reported
four killed by lightning.
In southern and central Alabama
there was great damage to property.
At Greenville and Bruton scores of
residences and business houses were
unroofed or demolished. There was
no loss of life in these towns, but
eight negroes were struck by lightning
and killed near Bruton.
The property damage in this district
was immense.
Many Believed Dead.
Reports of the loss or life on the
Terre Bonnie coast of Louisiana, where
100 people were killed last September
in a storm, have not been verified.
1t will probably be a day or two
before communication is restored.
The storm was peculiar in forma-
ton. Beginning early Friday it swept
Tennessee, Mississippi and Arkansas.
It's trail was then lost for several hours
but at midnight last night it descended
on middle Mississippi and taking two
courses plowed it's way through the
southeast and southwest and out to
the gulf Saturday.
Not a railroad in the storm section
has escaped numerous washouts. Wagon
roads are impossible ana wire service
is badly crippled.
Hundreds of poles are down and hun
dreds of miles of telegraph and tele-
phone wires were put out of commits
sion by the high wind, hail and rain
that swept the stricken districts.
