THE GREAT POLITICAL OPPOR-
TUNITY.

The Democratic party has before it
at this time the finest opportunity
that has been presented to II since
the war, Of electing President of the
United States. The people Of the
country are eager for change of ad-
ministration.
The Republican party has been
weighed in the balances and found
wanting" The whole West which
used To b. the stronghold of that
party, has practically repudlated AZ,
and is looking to the Democratic par
ty, to give them the relief from the
burdens of tariff-taxarfon, which has
been denied them by their own par
ty. And not only in the West but in
other sections of the country feelings
of dissatisfaction have been manifest
Cd, 10 that at the last congressional
election the Republican majority in
the House Of Representatives was
wiped out and a large majority was
given to the Democrats, enabling them
to organize the House and enact such
legislation as the country demands
We find nova fierce war. being wag-
ed between the adherents of President
Taft and ex-President Roosevelt, for
the nomination for the Presidency b.
the coming National Republican con-
vention So that the Republican par
ty Of the country i rent from top to
bottom"
Not only does the weakness of that
party give Democratic opportunity,
but the wise and conservative course
of the Democratic House of Represen-
tatives, has greatly strengthened and
solicited the party, and commended
it to thoughtful citizens in all Sec
tons.
ali this brings the great opportun
ity which 10 now presented to our
party. Will our political leaders,
those to whom the party usually looks
for guidance, prove themselves equal
to the occasion? 1T j. time when
mistakes must, as far as possible, be
avoided And it is especially a time
when personal politics must be abso-
lutely set aside.
We have a number Of gentlemen
whose names are prominently men
toned as candidates, either of whom
has the full stature of Presidential
candidate. Harmon, Wilson, Clark
and Underwood. These are all strong
loyal Democrats, and the convention
will not 20 wrong in naming any one
or them.
The Democrats will have an oppor-
tunity of indicating their choice of a
candidate in the Primary. And it is
their duty to exercise this right to the
fullest extent, and without attempted
domination from any outside influ-
ence.
We believe in party organization,
but the organization, a. such, has no
place in Primary contest. Every
Democrat has the right to express his
individual preference for the candi-
date Of hi party. 1T j. purely fam
lily affair, and this talk which we
hear, especially in the city, about the
organization getting behind a GER
tain candidate, and trying to bind the
party, il undemocratic and should not
be tolerated by Democrats Of the city

ST. FRANCIS AND HUMAN LOVE.
From Maurice Francis Egan's Every
body's st. Francis" in the August
Century.

He blessed the true love of youth and
the maid, as he blessed the nests OF the
doves, and it is recorded that Tor two
spouses who loved each other during a
long life he obtained the grace that
they might die together. This was the
case Of Lucchesio and Bona Donna. and
it occurred long after the death OF Fran
els, when they departed for that Joy
(which makes all the pains of earth seem
cheerful because of the hope of it II
was to make men faithful husbands and
wives and mothers truer to their voca-
ton that the third order was founded.
He loved the joys OF domestic life,
To have children of his own would have
given him great happiness; but this he
sacrificed that he might have thousands
of spiritual children. Each to his vo-
eation;n in the Franciscan chapel there
were many inches. For the apostles
there must not be wife or child or earth
ly love. They must be free for the sacri-
flee.

Robert O,Lincoln.

Somewhere between the first and mid
die of May, he always appears; some
where between the middle and last of
September he goes; and, meanwhile, he
would put the joy of life into the
most inyeterate hypochondriac that ever
breathed. His very name makes one
long to laugh and sing and cut capers.
| hope sometime somewhere, in the up
per blue from which the bob-o-link tlm-
bles into our ripping, sunshiny meadows,
to meet the man who named him!
yet in a way, he has named himself;
for "bobolink" is supposed to be a fanci-
full imitation of his song. But no human
word can ever be true replica IF that
ecstatic outpouring, that most curious,
incomprehensible, jingling, roundabout,
laughable medley
"And as to names, he is far from
satisfied with one, but has at least
eighteen. Some of these are but vari-
ations of his real name, while the rest
are veritable little aliases by which he
is known in various parts of the world,
for he is a far traveller every year. -

SPRAYING APPLE ORCHARDS.
Bulletin Issued by the Maine AgricuI-
tural Experiment Station.

The Maine agricultural experiment sta
tion has issued bulletin No. l9S, which is
the second of a series giving the re-
suits of spraying the apple with fungi
cides and insecticide. The work of 1911
lis preceded by condensed account of
similar experiments of the season Of
1910. The 1911 experiments are dis
cussed under two heads-those carried
on at Highmoor farm and cooperative
experiments in the orchards of three
practical fruit growers in the town of
Greene. The results in both places were
practically alike.
1t is shown that the season was very
nnfavorable for the development of the
enemies of the apple, and that in the abb
sence of pests the comparative results
regarding their control are not so strik-
ing as in the preceding year, when both
insects and fungi were abundant. The
ealyx injury which was noted in 1911
on trees sprayed with lime sulphur and
lead arsenate is now considered to have
had a more direct relation to the vi2or
of the trees than the chemical action
of the spray. The superiority of lime
sulphur over bordeaux mixture as a
fungicide for susceptible varieties, such
as Ben Davis, has again been demon
strated in the past season, when condi-
tions were most favorable for using
bordeaux. A large amount of bordeaux
injury occurred. whereas no spray in
Jury was done to leaves or fruit on the
lime-sulphur plots.
Sunburn, or sunscald, of the fruit. as
the result of the unusual heat wave of
last july is shown to have been entirely
Independent of spray injury and very
largely due to insufficient protection of
fruit by the foliage. No injury to fruit
or foliage resulted from the use of the
carbonie acid gas sprayer in making the
applications. The results did not indi-
rate any definite relation of fruit rus
setting to the strength of the lime sui
phur used.

Gold and Tin Production of Seward Pen
Peninsula.

The gold produced in Seward penn-
sula, Alaska, for 1911 had value Of
SO, 100000 which was decrease of about
100000 compared with the figures for
1910. This falling off according to 2. 5.
Smith, of the United States Geological
Survey, is attributed to three main
causes-frst, decrease in the amount
OF winter mining; second a general de-
crease in the number of mining opera
tons, except dredging; and, third, the
handling of low-grade material. All these
causes may be referred more or less di-
rectly to the exhaustion of the known
rich bonanzas before enterprises have
been established capable OF handling
cheaply the large amounts of low-grade
material which are known to exist on the
peninsula. From this statement it may
be inferred that at some future time
the gold production of the Seward Pen
insula viii materially increase.
Although practically all the mineral
production has been dirived from gold
placers, interest has been renewed in the
tin deposits, and production of nearly
100 tons of concentrates, worth about
$4,000 is reported from the tin plaeers
on Buck Creek.
Not only has dredging for placers lin
been carried on, but certain lode tin
mines near York have been reopened
under the superintendent of a compel ent
mining engineer. 1t is understood that
the company intends to ship the Tin
concentrates to Seattle, where they will
be smelted.
While on trip into the Atlanta No
atak region last year Mr.. Smith spent
several days obtaining notes on the min
ing industry in Seward Peninsula, and
these have just been published as lSnl-
letin 520-M advance chapter from Min
eral Resources or Alaska, 1911 ~ copy
of which may be obtained free on appli-
cation to the Director of the Geological
Survey, Washington. d. c.

Fall of a New York Prison SLAYER.

An annual subsidy in Austria of $3.50.
600 year to encourage the ba sket in
dustry in penal institutions after al
most destroying a prosperous town in
central New York, finally led to an insid-
ious form of industrial feudalism. To
regime his former profits, the chief man
ufacturer of baskets in this town de-
cided to follow the example OF the Aus
TRANS, and have his willows stripped
at the 0nondaga penitentiary, although
the state constitution provides for state
use of convict made goods.
His partner induced the town super
visor TO enter into contract with the
county penitentiary in the name of the
town for the peeling OF all willows which
the town poor could not do. Then the
poor folks of the town." writes j..
Stagg Within of the National Committee
of Prison Labor in The Survey, enjoyed
the proud distinction of being allowed
to work on the baskets, not eight hours,
not ten hours, but twelve, thirteen, four
teen, fifteen and sixteen. The work be.
ing done at home, there is no factory re-
strietion. The baby of three does what
it can, while it sucks the end OF the
willow. The old blind grandmother tells
her beads at the turn OF the basket. All
combined they are thankful to make two
dollars a day. The prison SLAYER owns
the mortgages on most of the houses in
the town, and sets the wages as well as
the interest ON the mortgages according
to his. needs. His is the power, not only

Teaching Children to Sew.

The modern girl who cannot sew is in
the minority nowadays, for the oldfasli-
Toned custom of teaching and encourag-
ing every child to be skillful with her
needle has been quietly and persistently
pursued of late years, with result that
is eminently satisfactory.
Sewing was taught the small child OF
past times under painful circumstances.
Unintercsting pieces of work were melted
out TO the little people, such as busters
to hem and fine handkerehiefs to try
their patience and their eycsight. All is
different now The path of education is
made a very pleasant one and the little
girls are encouraged to become skillful
embroiderers by being given pieces OF
work that really interest them
A child who is fond of dolls can have
bought for her darling cambria pima
fore or a linen dress ready stamped for
embroidery purpose. The patterns are
very simple. and the child will be able
to learn outline and the cable stitches,
French knots and the simple sewing that
il needed to finish the little dolly gar
ments She can also be instructed in the
mysteries of gathering lace and making
a pretty edging of il for the froek.
A child to whom the monotony of
sewing a fine seam at the edge OF hand
kerchief will scarcely appeal will take a
keen interest in making handkerchief
into a iabot and giving it as a present
to her mother.
A handkerchief ready embroidered and
edged with lace should be bought, and
should be slit in half from corner to
corner, after which the two rough edges
should be joined to a wide strip of lace
or embroidery insertion.

NO FREE SEEDS, MAYBE.
Government Likely to Have Hard Work
Getting It's 900 Tons.


Up to the present time Congress has
failed to agree on the agricultural APP
priation bill, which is still in Congress,
and in consequence Secretary Wilson
and his aids have been unable to make
plans for the coming particularly
where it is necessary to make contracts
for the purchase of supplies. One of the
most important contracts that is usually
let early in the spring, is that for the
purchase of seeds for free distribution.
Whether the department will now be
able to gather anything like the 900
tons that were distributed last year is
a question, and it will have to hustle
around and do the best it can to supply
the demand which is bound to come once
the spell binders begin their work. These
vete-getters are most necessary this
year, of all years, and it is believed
that Congress will leave no stone I'm.
