Chairman Franklin Murphy's address
last evening was in his usual pleasing
vein. In but two instances did his re-
marks show imperfections. One was
due to partisanship, for which the oc-
casion might afford an excuse. The
other was more serious. In speaking Of
Woodrow WILSON'S environments,
Chairman Murphy permitted himself
to say hat the Democratic candidates

Mr.. Murphy. 1t was a reversion to the
old-time practise of infaming preju-
dices. It was an infraction of the rules
of fairness, and Mr.. Murphy must have
known it.

JULIA WARD HOWE.

ULIA WARD HOWE, one of the most famous of American
III women and representing the highest type of her sex, is dead,
at an advanced age. Mrs. Howe is best known by her grand
and stirring composition, the Battle Hymn of the Republic"
which will outlive most of the pretentious literature of her period.
This womans life was dedicated to humanity. She lived for the
betterment of the world and for the elevation of the race. She died
with her name onored on two continents.

Strange how quickly the American
viewpoint changes. We haven't the
phlegmatic temperament of John Bull,
nor the volatile trait of the French,
but we must admit an impressionabie
tendency. A few months ago trade CON
ditions were believed un~favorable. The
turmoil of politics was approaching.
crops we're uncertain, business was
hating and pessimism reigned. Wal
Street, known as the heart of the
commercial world. reflected these fore
bodings in falling Irices. But now a
change has come about. Bumper crops
are assured, business is again in mo-
ticn, politics holds no dangers, and
Wall Street has caught the step of the
new movement and is marching to the
tune of better times. This is due in
part to the growing conviction that the
impending changes in politics will work
for good, to d revived faith in the rich
productivity Of our soil, and to the
assertion of that American spirit
which refuses to look long upon the
gloomy side Of any picture, preferring,
as in the present case, TO look ahead
to the hopes and prospects which lie
beyond, and which are heraldine the
dawn OF a New Era"

Vivian NJ. Lewis submits a compari-
son Of State expenditures as they ex-
listed under Republican administration
at the close Of 1909 and as they were
under Democratic rule. \ His address,
em%bodying such comparison, was given
to the press, but not delivered. It Is
possible that he may not have read this
address carefully. Had he lone so, he
would have noticed hat it contained,
among other things, three vital in
firmities. He assumes that a return to
Democratic rule would mean the re-
establishment of the appropriations for
school purposes long ago prevailing,
which, in the light of the States in
creased revenue, is a needless show
of bias. He excludes from his
missions which have been created,
on the. ground that they are necessary,
a statement that is wholly partisan
and open to grave doubt. Further
more. he finds excuse, in the increased
cost of living and production, for the
increased expenditures appearing in
practically every department over
Democratic days. He omits, however,
to justify the excuse which he adj
vances, which is responsible for most
of the unres prevailing today, and
which is generally charged to the ten
dency of his own party to legislate for
the classes, not the masses. Compare
sons are helpful, if they are capable of
proof. They are harmful, as in the
present case. when they contain in
herent weaknesses.

Doc Law In constantinOpIe.

"When one of the street dogs of Con-
stantinople gets too old to be OF use
to the band the captain dog, decides
that he is to die," says Albert Bigelow
Paine in Harper's Weekly. "A day
comes when the captain issues an edict
that he is no longer to have food.
From that day until his death not a
morsel passes his lips. With longing
eyes he looks at the others eating. but
he makes no attempt to join them.
Now and again bit of something falls
his way. The temptation is too strong
he reaches toward the morsel. The
captain, who overlooks nothing, gives
q low growl. The dying creature
shrinks back without a murmur. He
knows the law. Perhaps he, too, was
once a captain. The minister's wife
told me that she had tried to feed one
of those dying dogs. but that even
when food was placed in front OF him
he would only look pleadingly at the
captain and refuse to touch it."

Law and the Queen.

The quaintness of many provisions
of British law is curiously illustrated
in the status of the queen Of England
So far as her majesty's private BUSH
ness is concerned. she is not regarded
by the laws and customs of England
as a married woman at all. She is the
only woman in Great Britain who does
not come within the scope of the mar
ried woman's property act. The idea
in all this is that affairs of state con-
sumo all the time of the king. and
therefore no responsibility for the
queens private business rests upon
him. If the queen contracted debts In
her husbands name he would not be
responsible for them as any other
husband in the United Kingdom would.
The king cannot be sued for debt. but
the queen can be. Should the king die.
some authorities hold that the queen
could not marry again, in case she
wished to, without the license of the
kings successor New York Tribune.

"Ah, a farmer" cried the sad look

gibberish. 1t sounded like this:

Effects of prucs.

Persons employed in india rubber
factories sometimes inhale bisulphide
of carbon and suffer from frightful
dreams of being murdered or of fall
ing over precipices. Opium stimulates
Imagination; alcohol in excess excites
dread and suspicion; hasheesh. from
which the word assassin was derived,
produces homicidal mania. These
drugs have a distinct effect upon the
moral sense. Sometimes. as from al
cohol. a coarse and stupid brutality is
stimulated. or. as from morphia, a
gloomy and morose temper, or. as from
cocaine. while the manner remains
gentle, the victim develops thieving
and lying habits.

being dosed with quinine. The fol-
lowing day messenger called with a
large pot of very rancid butter, accom-
panied by letter from one Of the en-

al master hoped that madame would
take three glasses daily of the butter
sent, which had been stored for two
years and would be found an infallible
remedy. The present was gratefully
acknowledged and promptly buried.
and when madame recovered Menelik
took to himself the credit of her cure.

A TRAGEDY In Writing.

Illegible handwriting, which has Civ
en- rise to so many comedies, led to
a tragedy in the case of Bacher. a
musical enthusiast Of the last century
who devoted several years to the COM
position Of history of Viennese mu-
sic. His task finished. he submitted
the manuscript to the Austrian i'm
perial academy, which he had been led
to believe would defray the cost of it's
publication. After three months his
manuscript was returned. Despite
their best efforts the members had
been unable to decipher it. Bacher
then endeavored to have his work
copied, but every professional copyist
who undertook the task had to confess
himself baffied. He thereupon at
tempted debating the work, only to
find that even he could not decipher
it, and, heartbroken at the discovery
that his years of toll had proved fruit
less, he attempted suicide and finished
his days in lunatic asylum.

LITTLE FACTS FOR FARMERS.

There are now sixty-five active beet
sugar factories located in sixteen diff
ferent states. Last year 365,000 acres
were given over to beets. and the
farmers delivered to the factories
3,470,OO0 tons.
Good, strong. well developed pigs
from mature sires and dams will make
better growth and more economical
gains than the understood runts that
result from breeding immature sows
to some six-months-old boar pig.
Somebody has estimated from sta
tistics that fruit trees and bushes will
bear for the following periods: Apple,
% to 40 years; blackberry. to ii
years; currant. 20 years; gooseberry,
8 to IL years; pear, so to Is years;
plum. 20 to % years; raspberry. 6 to
IA years; strawberry. l to 3 years.
The largest grapevine in the world
fourishes at San Gabriel. Cal. 1t was
planted by the San Franciscan friars
and is 100 years old The stalk is one
and one-half feet in diameter and eight
feet high, and the branches and foliage
cover 5000 square feet Last year 1t
produced two and one-half tons Of
grapes.
Lean, lank hogs and poor fences will
discourage almost any farmer who has
such a combination. With animals
that will multiply as rapidly as pigs
it seems almost shame to see man
breeding old scrub sows to some boar
that has no pride of ancestry or hope
of posterity. Yet this is exactly the
course that about half of the farmers
are following and wondering why feed
ing hogs is not paying substantial
profits. Never get the idea In your
heads that breeding from young and
immature breeding stock encourages
early maturity III the progeny.
