The Detroit times., 1911-09-11

There il a phrase of exceeding Ill
omen when used by candidate Tor
the presidency OF the United States
in application to any portion OF this
nation. That phrase Is the enemys
country" II was coined first by Will
liam Jennings Bryan, when he came
east to argue his cause. In common
Justice to Mr.. Bryan, We say that our
belief then. az now, has been always
that he spoke in mood OF mistaken
though good-humored popularity.
Mr.. Bryan has made mistakes. and
many OF them. But he never was
guilty Of the purbilind folly of serious
ly declaring to the whole people,
whose chief magistrate he had the
honorable ambition to become. that
around a large section OF their coun-
try was a dead line within which lay
the enemy's country"
Yet that phrase, spoken, We think,
In Jest. proved a political fatality.
The ancient faith. In spite OF the most
recent contradiction, Is still rooted
deep that the president Of the Ameri-
can people must be the president or
the whole people, and not the apostle
OF any sectionalism nor the "utular
head" OF any party. Our sincere be-
lief Is that the. unhappy phrase, the
enemy's country" was well-nigh as
disastrous to Bryan's chances OF max
ing eastern converts as q premature
tariff truth was to Hancock or the
Burchard idiocy to Blaine.
We think that no student OF Amer1-
can history could have foreseen the
temperance Of that ominous phrase
In present-day American politics. Yet
Immediately after the publication OF
Mr.. Taft's itinerary In his tour OF all
the states save five: the authorized
dispatch from Beverly that Mr.. Taft
IL said to realize that he must attack
the Democrats and progressive Re
publicans who put the tariff bills
through congress" and the bitter de-
nunciation OF the motives, the intel
ligence and the integrity Of the pro-
gressive Republicans In Mr.. Tafts
Hamilton speech, there rose again as
from the grave that phrase, the
enemy's country"
Mr.. Taft did not use those exact
words in his Hamilton declaration OF
war. Nor were they attributed to
him by any critic. But the entire
tenor of his declared program was
such that loyal eulogists Of Mr.. Taft,
of which the St. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat is q typical example, at once
grasped his meaning and correctly ap-
piled the only appropriate historic
phrase.
There il no misguided humor In this
view of what the pro-Taft Brooklyn
Eagle correctly calls "a preliminary
canvass for reelection" The vituper
alive denunciation at Hamilton of al

any purpose at times united with

SURE WAY TO BUILD IN THE
LONG RUN.
People know that merchants
must sell their merchandise at a
profit. They appreciate that a
man cannot run any business,
employ GOOD SALES PEOPLE,
and give GOOD SERVICE with
out making a FAIR PROFIT.
All they want to know is that
the merchandise they buy Is RE-
LIABLE and that it will give
good service.
The Neel Company do not be-
lieve in special sales and only
hold them twice year to clean
up odds and ends of accumulated
stock. Then they reduce prices,
mark the goods in plain figures,
and THE ANNOUNCEMENT

SUFFICIENT TO CROWD THE

GOOD BRACE FOR WIRE FENCE

oughly Well Done.

Wire fences are. valuable when the
wires are tight, useless when they arc
slack. Not one fence in fifty has end
posts properly braced. Often great ex-
pense is incurred in bracing posts
with long diagonal braces, the ulti.
mate result of which is usually to lift
the posts out Of the ground, says a
writer in the Breeders Gazette. The
illustration shows a method Of most
approved construction where the wire
fencing is most in use and most thor
oughly well done. 1t will be seen that
zeal the end of the fence are set two
posts, about thirty inches apart, with
a short brace between them at the
top. A twisted wire cable Of several

the dyes uniformly with the amer
mohair As the number Of goats In
crease this problem will be solved
to a great extent by a market classif-
cation of the product.
Goat mutton has been usually OBJ
jected to because Of the wild flavor
Of the flesh. The extreme wild ia
vor Of the flesh is usually due to
the fact that the animals are raised
largely on noxious weeds. Goats pas
tured on grass or fattened on grains
or forage crops produce a quality o.
mutton that is number one. Only
a slight wild flavor can be detected
and this but adds to the palatability
lands in this state are paying fair
of the meat. Most Of the cultivate1
lands in his state are paying lair
dividends on the investment, but .
large per cent. Of the lands used for
pasturing are bringing very poor re-
turns, This is due to a great preVa-
lence of noxious weeds found through
out the south. Goats seem to have a
preference for weeds instead Of grass
and a few goats will readily clean
a farm of weeds, thereby doubling
the grass yield per acre and at the
same time win actually make a
profit off the weeds,
Goats are especially fond of under
brush, and a few goats will absolute
ly clean out all underbrush in a pas
ture In a very short time. This
makes the land easy to clear, OF II
the land is to be used for pasture
grass will readily spring up under
the large trees. At the same time a
profit may be made on the goat crop
and the land will be fertilized as in
other stock farming. The greatest
objection probably to the raising o
goats is their ability to climb fences,
and it Is pretty nearly impossible to
keep them inclosed In anything less
than a seven-wire fence Or a fence
made of woven wire. In that case all
braces for corner posts and gates will
need to be placed on the outside OF
the wire, as they seem to take an
especial pleasure in running UP any
kind Of a brace and jumping W. in

open arms. With a youth Of his pro
clivities and inherent weakness the
outcome was inevitable. At nj time
overload of study, he regarded resi-
dence in college as a most desirable
emancipation from the restraint Of
home life, The love Of books he con-
sidered q pose and he scoffed at the
men who took their reading seriously.
The university attracted him mostly
by its most undesirable features, its
sports, its secret societies, its petty
cliQues, and its rowdyism. The broad
spirit and the dignity Of the alma
mater he ignored completely. Directly
he went to Yale he started in to en-
Joy himself and with the sophisticated
Underwood as guide, went to the
devil faster than any man before him
In the entire history Of the university.
Reading. attendance at lectures, be-
came only q convenient cloak to con-
ceal his turpitudes. Poker playing,
automobile Joy rides, hard drinking
became the daily curriculum. In
town rows and orgies Of every descrip-
ton he was soon a recognized leader.
Scandal followed scandal until he was
threatened with expulsion, Then his
father heard Of 1t and there was .
terrible scene. Je1ries, ST., went i'm
mediately to New Haven and there
followed q stormy interview In which
Howard promised to reform, but once
the parents back was turned things
went on pretty much as before. There
were fresh scandals, the smoke OF
which reached as far As New York.
This time Mr.. Jeffries tried the plan
Of outing down the money supply and
Howard found himself financially en-
%barrassed. But this had not quite
the effect desired by the father, for
rendered desperate by his inability
to secure funds with which to carry
on his sprees, the young man started
In to gamble heavily, giving notes for
his losses and pocketing the ready
money when he wen.
Then came the supreme scandal
which turned his fathers heart te
steel. Jeffries, ST., could forgive much
In 4 young man. He had been young
himself once. None know better thar
he how difficult 1t Is when the blood
10 rich and red 10 keep oneself II
control. But there was n offence
which q man proud Of his descent
could not condone. He would neVel
forgive the staining Of the family
name by q degrading marriage. Th'
news came To the unhappy father like
a thunder-clap. Howard, probably il
q drunken spree, had married secretly

and to make the mesalliance worse
