Homestead to Support LaFollette

Homestead to Support LaFollette.
Because of President Taft's insistent
fight for Canadian reciprocity and be-
cause he saw fit to attack his politi-
cal opponents because they voted for
the 80, 900. 900 American farmers" the
Iowa Homestead, leading farm jour-
nal, comes cut for Senator Robert M.
La Toilette for the republican nomina-
ton for president.
This means that all of Pierce's farm
weeklies, published in Wisconsin, lows
and Missouri by James NJ. Pierce OF
Des Moines, will oppose the renomina.
ton of the president. The farm jour-
nails published by MIR. Pierce have a
vast clientele among the farmers.
The announcement is made in the
leading editorial of the publication and
gives some length to Senator LaFol-
lette's progressive history. The Home
stead also hopes that Woodrow Wilson
will be the democratic nominee.
The closing paragraph of the editor
ial follows:
In the contest that is coming to the
country The Iowa Homestead devotes
itself to the cause of good government,
rather than political craftsmanship. II
hopes that the fortunes of men and
parties may SO shape themselves that
the republicans will choose Senator
LaFcllette as their standard bearer
and the democrats will choose Gov.
Wilson. It believes that in the hands
of either man the government is Sc
cure. 1t believes that each man is
sincere, devoted to the peoples inter-
ests, pledged to the nations continued
welfare. Not in many years has the
issue been SO clearly drawn; the great
est good of the greatest number
against the selfish interests of the en-
trenched few. In such time the
lovers of good government and of pat
riotic loyalty to united country can
afford to discard party letters, put
aside personal prejudices and forget
personal animosities, uniting to bring
about q return to the fundamental
principles Of equal rights to all,
special privileges to none "

liced as the White House. 1t takes
AZ men to do it daily. II any mis-
chievous stranger should seek en-

four men guard the outside of the

without at night. The number of men
enumerated does not include the Sc
cret service men who guard the per-
son of the president and who are some
times in service to guard the mem
bers of the presidents family. Every
door in the White House has Its po-
liceman constantly on guard.
There are always two in the base
ment of the executive offices, where
there is a large door leading from
the street for the reception OF sup

Bankers Quick to Detect Bad Money

THE exact chance of any one per-
i son having a bad piece of money
is hard to determine, for the reason
that no one, not even the secret serv-
ice, knows at any one time just how
much counterfeit currency is in circu-
lation. But from years of experience
the government agents at Washington
have figured out that In paper money
the proportion of bad to good is about
81 to 100000, and in coin somewhere
between 50 and SO to 100000.
The larger the coin or bill to be
counterfeited the -'reater the danger
of detection and need OF a more
expensive plant. The commonest way
of making spurious money is the turn
ing out of base metal coins-but the
operation is expensive. Silver, for in
stance, cannot be successfully cast.
Base coins with silver in them must
therefore be struck off in a steel die
a die representing days Of work on
the part of an expert engraver. Then
there must be a powerful press to
make the Impressions.
In the counterfeiting of paper money
there are three methods used, copy
ing by hand, Photographic reproduc-
tion, and the raising of genuine bills
from lower to higher denominations.

Uncle Sam Warns Against Mosquitoes

rxYAR on the mosquito as well as on
w the house fly has been declared
by the department of agriculture. AS
a disseminator of disease the mos
quito is branded as being as great
menace to humanity as the fly. l.. o.
Howard. chief of the bureau of ento7
mology. has issued a bulletin on the
protection of communities from mos
uuitoes. He lays stress on the ne
cessity of abolishing breeding places
of the insect pest.
'eWhere the rain barrel and rain wa
ter tank are necessary they should be
screened. The waste places in the
immediate vicinity of house should
be carefully searched for tin cans, bot
ties and Wooden or tin boxes in which
water can accumulate, and all such
receptacles should be destroyed or car
ried away. The roof cutters should
be carefully examined to make sure
that they are not clogged so as to al
low the water to accumulate.
"The chicken pans In the poultry
yard, the water In the troughs for do
mestic animals, the water cup of the
grindstone are all places in which

these pests of mosquitoes will breed.
In slightly marshy ground favor
ite breeding place is the footprints OF
cattle and horses. In one country
village, which contains many small
vegetable gardens in clay soil, during
rainy season mosquitoes were found
breeding abundantly in the water ac-
cumulating in the burrows.
Even in the house these mosqui-
toes breed in hany places. Where the
water in flower vases is not frequently
changed mosquitoes will breed. They
will breed in water pitchers in unused
guest rooms. Public dumps are great
breeding places, because here accumu-
late old bottles, cans, boxes, bits OF
tin or iron vessels and other objects
in which water may accumulate for
time"

The White House Is Closely Guarded

to the private apartments of the
president and his family on the upper
floor.
There is a policeman always in the
basement, the entrance to which is
from the east wing of the mansion.
At night a policeman guards the base'
ment corridor of the interior. another
the corridor of the main floor and an
other the corridor of the upper private
floor.
Outside there is constant vigilance
in front and in the rear, II the White
House may be conceived as having
any rear. The south front is as beau
tiful as the north front and indeed
more SO.
That the White House should have
to be thus carefully guarded may seem
strange to Americans whose chief ex-
ecutive is after all only democrat
who is a citizen temporarily, holding
high public office. But it is neces-
sary. Three Presidents have been
assassinated, although none ever at
the White House. 1t would seem
none ever could be because OF the
vigilance kept there. But fierce
light plays upon the White House and
the occupants of 1t, especially the
| president. 1t attracts all kinds OF
people, and cranks are ever danger
Gus. Many is the one apprehended
before he has gone far. And in this
land of liberty there are also other
people who have dangerous ideas CEN
tering on the life of the chief mag
istrate.

change one bill. Fives raised to tens
are the most frequent offenders of this
sort. The workman thus makes 50.
And yet in spite of all care and all
precautions, counterfeiters are event
ually run to earth. Why? Three rea-
sons: Bank, secret service and system.
In the long run most money in circu-
lation comes into the hands of some
bank. And there the counterfeit,
good or bad, eventually meets its
downfall. Tellers and cashiers han
die SO much currency that they seem
to be gifted with second sight.
If he cannot tell at first glance
whether the money Is bad, he consults
two monthly counterfeiting magazines
and usually finds what he is after.
The magazine people cooperate with
the secret service. And the next tell
er or cashier who gets the mate of
the note knows right off what the
counterfeit is.

Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen
he will introduce a resolution to es-
tablish a home for aged and disabled
members of the Brotherhood and for

States. Canada and Mexico. so that
the entire membership can become
thoroughly acquainted with the idea
and instruct their delegates how TO
vote. It will also save a great deal
of time when the matter Is taken up
on the floor Of the convention.
The plan for the establishment Of
such a home would be to purchase
several sections of land in a climate
beneficial to any who are afflicted
with tuberculosis. build a principal
home and hospital. where members
incapacitated for work can he taken

much land issto enable a member of

disease, but still able to work. or
may have some member of his family
afflicted. to take sufficient land TO sus-
tain himself or his family. while he
returns to work. In this way the
community would be established.
It is believed that such a home
could be established and maintained
at about 50 a year assessment. This
would mean 100000 annually Ia

that the home. could be made sell
