Washington, June 16.-Since Sena-
tor Jonathan Bourne went to Boston
in April to arrange for the formal
launching of the LaFollette boom for
president-which has not as yet been
brought about-the insurgents have
encountered many and serious obs-a-
cles both as to getting their plans
and candidate before the country, and
i'll getting together on a plan and
candidate among themselves. As far
back as March something like a pro-
program had been agreed upon, bat
progress since then has consisted
chiefly of a series of postponements.
varied by a series of tactical modiffct-
lions.
The unauthorized publication from
Washington of a story that Col Roose-
Welt had in private strongly en-
dorsed President Taft for re-nomfna-
ton dealt the insurgents a blow from
which Col. RooseVelt's vigorous de-
malls in interviews anf kilograms has
not yet enabled them to recover. On
top of this comes a circumstantial
report that Mr.. Cummins, of Iowa
perhaps the most prominent of the
progressive senators-wll not try &c
throw the Iowa delegation to the Wis
consin radical, and that before or af.
ter the nomination he will side open
ly with the administration ticket.
Republican leaders have long MOTTO
ed that Mr.. Cummins seemed some

tivity of Mr.. IJaFollette's rather myth

NO NECKTIE In GEORGIA

Would Abolish YG Old Time
Hanging

Atlanta, June 16.-After the COM
ing legislature has adjourned Georgia
will possibly have seen its last hang
ing for a capital offense. The electric
chair may supplant the hangman's
rope and executions in Georgia car
ried out in a central place. These
things will come to pass if the bill
which Judge Newt. Morris is prepar-
ing becomes a law.
Judge Morris declares the infu-
ences attending a hanging are not the
best; that frequently the condemned
man appears as the hero of the occa-
sion and instead of being looked upon
by the public as an outlaw receiving
just retribution for his crime, is re-
gaTded as a martyr.
The Judge cited instances where the
the prisoner had to be carried through
the crowds, who gazed with morbid
curiosity to the place Of execution
speaking to acquaintance as he pass
ed. He told of military escorts for
negro prisoners, provided to prevent
lyncbings, and of how that negro ep-
peared to others of his race as a real

Judge "the gallows has more Of 6

Washington. June ia sensa-
tional and apparently irreparable
breach has occurred between William
Jennings Bryan and the leaders Of
the democratic house The tariff on
wool is the disturbing factor, and be-
cause of the disagreement over this,
Champ Clark may lose the endorse
ment of the Peerless One" for the
presidential nomination.
Bryan practically demanded that
the democratic house declare for free
wool. The leaders of the house, paw
ticularly Speaker Clark and Chairman
Underwood, of the Ways and Means
committee, opposed such a drastic re-
vision of the wool schedule, as indi-
Gated by the bill which the Ways and
Means committee presented to the
democratic caucus.
Mr.. Bryan first fought the Under
wood-Clark faction in caucus; he and
his free wool friends may still cause
a disturbance before the bill passes
the house.
For some time it has been realized
that trouble was brewing between Mr..
Bryan and those charged with the du-
ty of tariff revision in the house. While
the Ways and Means committee MEM
bers We're fighting out the wooden
schedule in the committee room, Bry-
an was lambasting the tariff for rev.
enue democrats" in the editorials of
his paper, The Commoner.
Just before the democratic caucus of
June l, Mr. Bryan came out in another
editorial broadside in which he vir-
tually accused the house of having
become "Aldrichized He limited that
those who refused to vote for free
wool would be dealt with at the polls,
and offered no consolation in event
of their defeat.
This angered the Clark Underwood
faction. They plainly resented the IN
reference of the Nebraska leader who
previous to this time had been accus-
ed by some house leaders with having
had much to do with the organization
of the house.
Bryan's disagreement over the wool
schedule, however, is, perhaps, but
incidental to the larger question-who
Will he support for the presidential
nomination? Heretofore it has been
seeming toss up between Champ
Clark and Gov Woodrow Wilson, or
New Jersey. One day Bryan was re-
ported to be leaning toward the speak
err the next day the Woodrow Wilson
people declared their idol to be in
the forefront of his affections 1t has
been conceded all along that Bryan
would unqualifedly oppose Gov. Jud-
son Harmon whom he does not re-
gard as sufficiently progressive.
Unless all signs fail, Champ Clarks
insistence that wool shall carry a du-
ty will have the result of permanent
ly weaving away the support of the
three-times defeated presidential can
didate og the democratic party. Some
of Mr. Clark's friends refuse to be dis
tressed by this fact; in fact claim
is made by influential democrats that
Bryans endorsement will hort more
than it will aid any candidate when
the next democratic convention is held
Talking confidentially the other day
one of he leaders of the house made
the following significant statement
which represents the attitude of a.
number of those who profess to have
the welfare of the party at heart:

, THE POULTRY YARD .

This is 5he month the turkeys be-
gin laying.
There is no better time than now TO
set geese eggs. Set them under a hen,
allowing her FIVE eggs, which are
about oll she can conveniently COW
er.
Some folks are forever planning
ahead and figuring how to make
chickens pay. and while they are
pottering along with their plans and
figures the hens and their broods are
neglected.
No fowl is so hard to doctor as a
turkey. A secret of success with tur-
keys lies in avoiding inbreeding. A
little turk debiliated at the start by
inbreeding has poor chance for
its life.
The baby chick trade has grown
wonderfully Twenty years ago poul-
trymen never dreamed of starting a
business in that line, while now hum
dreds of thousands of these inno-
cents are annually sent out.
AS the nights are stillcold 1t is
advisable to give the hens but elev-
en- eggs at the time of setting hem.
This affords the hen better chance to
cover and warm the eggs properly
bringing forth better results.
It's right to have the brood coops
wind tight but not air tigh. 1t does
not take much of a carpener to put
pane of glass in a brood coop and
the chicks do better if they can have
light when they must be shut up
during cold. stormy weather.
When a spell of bad weather COM
es. look out for lice. They multiply
fast when hens and chicks have to
be confined in their coops most of
the time These pests will soon re-
duce htevitality of the liveliest
chick ever Matched, so that it will
be in good condition to take gapes or
some other ailment.

TO HELP FARMERS GET LOANS
Register Jenness Would Cut Out Mid
dleman's Profit in Deal.

Scores of applications for state
funds are being received by N. Jen-
ness, register of the state land board,
and in order to meet the inquiries
which come in and to guard the Dor
rowers against the work of those who
charge exorbitant rates for securing
these loans when theor services are
not needed at all, Mr.. Jenness has
prepared a letter which he is send
ing out around the state to those who
make inquiries regarding the state
funds.
There has been much complaint
come to the board from farmers con-
corning the high rates which certain
small banks and private individuals
have charged to- secure these loans
from the state.
Following are the points made by
Mr.. Jenness in his letter: Send to
register of the state land board for
plank application.
Carefully fill in the application,
certify to it before a notary public
and return to the register.
THE register will submit it to the
land board and notify you as soon as
action is taken thereon. If you do
not hear from him as soon as you
expect you will know your applica-
ton has not been acted upon by the
board.
LAS soon as the loan is authoriz-
ed the state land commissioner will
appraise the land and make his re-
port to the register.
when the applicant has been no
titled that his application has been
passed upon favorably, he should
have an abstract of title prepared.
The abstract must show clear title.
The state accepts first mortgages on
ly.
Final certificates or other evil
dence of ownership, except warranty
deed or United States patent, do not
constitute such title as will be re-
quired by the state. See hat the alb
stract is brough down to date and
shows good title before sending it
in. Much delay is caused by sending
imperfect or incomplete abstracts.
"The state makes loans for from
one to five years with interest
per cent, payable semi-annually. In
terest payments are payable Janua.
and July l of each year.
when the loan is made near an
interest payment date, the first cou-
pom may be made payable at the next
succeeding date. For example, VIII
loan is made in December the first
interest coupon should be made pay
able July 1, with interest compr
to that date. This will make the last
interest payment payable when the
note is due.
The state loaens up to one-third
of the appraised valuation of the land
exclusive of improvements. Papers
must all be complete in the registers
Office before money will be sent.
The applicant must pay the ex-
penses of the appraiser except rail
road fare.
Blank notes and mortgage deeds
will be furnished by the register free
upon application. If the applicant
desires a bank or other agent to act
for him and receive the money he
must send an order to that effec
with hi sabstract
1T is not necessary to hire or pay
agents commission to look after loans
pending before the land board

GRASSES BROUGHT
HERE BY WILDER

Gerrit p. Wilder brought back from
the West Indies, among other useful
plants and seeds collected in his tray
els, various species of grass seeds. He
turned these over for experimentation
to A. F. Judd, who has sprouted them
out and planted them.
One thing that promises well came
from the island of Antigua, its botani-
can name being Andropogon pertusus,
This is a grass that stands about two
and half-feet high and looks very
much like the Hawaiian pill, only it is
more luscious than that native grass
As yet it is not known under what
local conditions it will thrive. It is the
prime grass of Antigua and neighbor-
ing islands, to cut for fodder.
Another of Mr.. Wilders grasses, a
small thing, is a variety of the PAM
cum, the name attached being PAM
cum crus 1t is also from one of the
West India islands. This is now COwer-
ing and apparently is going to be a
good grass for adding to the forage
plants of the Territory.
A third grass in the lot is another
Andropogon, which so far is not devel-
oped enough to be judged. There are
several other grasses, none of which
have terminated.
Those that are growing may be seen
upon Mr.. Judds premises, Judd street,
by anyone interested. He is propagat-
ing the grasses for distribution among
owners of live stock.
