Some Fruit Trees for Poultry.

1t seems that there is no doubt that
the plum tree is the fruit best suited
for the poultry yard Frequently the
plum trees in the poultry yard are the
only ones on the place that bear
crops. The benefit comes from the
destruction of every insect that gets
on or near the ground, either in fallen
fruit or otherwise. Then the fertility
distributed around the roots furnishes
abundant available food for all OF the
trees damaged
OF course, plum trees for the poul-
try yard should be pruned high.

consequence of these two treaties. 1t
is too much to expect the example
that is set by the three countries in
volved in these agreements to be fol-
lowed by all the others. Nevertlla-
less, there is no doubt that what has
been done by the United States, Eng
land and Rance will eventually be
done by others, and as the list of sub
scri5ars of the doctrine of arbitration
lengthens the chances of war between
nations will lessen.
The value of these treaties is in no
wise diminished by the fact that they
may be broken; that any of the par
ties may refuse to submit to arbitra'
ton questions of difference that may
arise between them. The mere fact
that they have pledged themselves to
seek the verdict of an impartial court
is practical assurance that they will
do so. The moral effect of the treaties
is virtually binding, and the United
States will credit both France and
England with the honesty of intention
and restraint which it now pledges
itself for the future in this it's hour Of
solemn agreement with them.

southwest Texas which have been 80
pronounced within the past few
months by the great development
undertakings agaregating millions

mented today when the San Antonio
Hotel Company, which owns the

$375,0O to the Mortgage and Trust
Company Of New York, with Edwin
Chamberlin Of this city as trustee.
The transfer Of the loan indicates the
confidence eastern financiers have in
San Antonio investments. The San

Of the most conservative financial in
stitutions Of the east indicates very
clearly what safe and sound business

ENFORCEMENT OF PEACE,

1t is impossible to exaggerate the
importance of last Thursday in the
records of the peace-making move
ments in the worlds history. Treaties
were signed simultaneously between
the United States and England on the
one part and the United States and
France on the other, pledging the
two pairs to submit to arbitration
their differences of all natures. These
are veritable peace pacts. They are
enlightened instruments of harmony
and agreement. They are worth many
battleships to the three countries CON-
cerned, and If such treaties were in
force between all the countries of the
world and we're respected it would be
possible without peril to dismantle
the forts and to put the ships of war
out of commission, and to send back
to the pursuits of peace the hundreds
of thousands of men who are now held
under arms.
No one looks for the millennium Of
universal peace to come at once in

MANY CANDIDATES
SEEKING PREfERMENT

! With the enactment Friday of the
congressional apportionment bill by
the senate as it came from the
lower house whereby North Dakota
gains one congressman, unusual &C.
tivity Is noted in state political
circles. d.
Quite q number Of aspiring candi-
dates have come to town to consult
with the party leaders viii lie others
have been busy on the telephone and
there has been a general hurrying and
scurrying and mounting of political
nags in hot haste.
The present chaotic condition poll
tically in the state leaves most of
the wise ones at sea, but those of less
experience and sagacity have been
making manifold states only to have
them broken by the light of reason
and events.
1t was estimated today that each
of the three congressional districts
would have no less than three times
that number of candidates before the
primaries and that those who will be
induced to enter the lists for state
places are being mustered by the
score. Nobody pretends to predict
results. All that they claim Is that
their favOrite candidate will make
good showing" but a good showing
Is poor consolation for tie man
choking with defeat.
The greater number. of candidates
for congressional honors has sprung
up in the third district where hereto
fore on account of light population
the aspirants have been handicapped.
One Of the peculiar features Of the
new law is that It leaves Congressman
Hanna and Hegelson in the same dis
trict. There Is much speculation as
to whether both will 60 before the
primaries in that district for renom-
inatfon, or whether one or the other
will step aside. OF course develop
ments within the next few months
will probably determine the course of
action of these gentlemen
In the meantime activities will con-
t.nue, that is of preliminary nature,
but things will not 60 down to brass
tacks until the state is carefully can
vassed and the real sentiment of the
voters ascertained
Emissaries are being now dis.
patched in all directions for that pur-
pose and much will depend upon the |
reports which will come in.
There seems to be too many slate
makers to frame up ones which will |
bear the force of popular pressure.

THE LOST ART OF POLITICS.
Minneapolis Journal:


There was a time when public mer
swayed public opinion in Minnesota
but that time has passed. The so
called Headers in the politics of the
state are afraid to say whaty they
think until they have caught the drift
of sentiment, and then they lose nc
time in declaring for the popular side
Any half baked notion or hysterical
craze can command support from men
in public Office if they get the idea
that it is popular.
OR various reasons, Minnesota has
fallen into an era of sma II men and
small things. Politics in the big sense
is lost art. Party organizations
are a joke and have absolutely no
influence. We boast sometimes that
this is a sign of growing independ-
ence and individual thinking, but is
it? Isn't it the fact, rather. that men
have lost confidence in those who
should lead them and direct opinion?
The average citizen is engrossed in
his business and pays even less atten-
ton to public affairs than he did ten
years ago. He needs direction, but he
sees no beacon light to guide him, no
man whose judgment he can trust.
1t has come to this pass, that polit-
ical activity is monopolized by fad
dists. place hunters, or the political
agents of brewers. The same, good
citizen, who used to take hand in
politics from high motives and firm
convictions, Las almost disappeared.
Perhaps the biggest reason for this
degeneration is to be found in the
direct primary law. Ideal in theory,
and with much to commend it, the
direct primary has its glaring faults.
1t tends to ell forth the egotist and
the petty job hunter. The office can
not seek the man, and it is seldom
that man of large caliber feels the
call Of duty sufficiently strong to seek
the Office. Party organizations is
much in the same boat. In Hennepin |
county the committees of each party |
are made up on foundation of pre-,
cinct workers. in which the ward
and city machines play a prominent
part. Direct election of committee
men by the voters is open to objec-
ton, but tits much to be preferred to
the Henepin system, which combines
all the vicious features of the direct
plan and the old style of selection by
the candidates.
So it is that in nominations for Of
flee, and in the organization of parties,
there is no provision for calling out
big men and drafting them for the
public service. 1t is system of push
ing for place, a ludicrous scramble in
which most self-respecting men re-
fuse to engage.
