the truth. He had loved Belle Good
win, still loved her and would always
love her.
OF course declined such proposi-
ton, but Mrs. Boynton, vino had in
stigated it, came to me and said:
II am old enough and have been OBJ
servant enough to know that, while
the fever of love may have good
deal to do with happiness between
husband and wife, happiness is more
likely to depend upon certain compile
mentary traits and mutual respect and
confidence. MY boy has. been infected
by love as disease and has no idea
how miserable-at least to my think
ing-Belle Goodwin would make him
if he should marry her. / advise you
if Fred is agreeable to you to accept
him. I am sure you have traits in you
that will make him happy"
l put my arms around her and said,
'Since you wish it will yield"
/ authorized her to send Fred to me
again and told him that though /, un-
like him, had not buried my heart !
would accept him and trusted that we
might together fulfill the hopes his
mother had for US. He was surprised
that 1 should make so cold blooded an
affair of it and seemed slightly panied
that he could not offer me his love.
Our engagement lasted six months.
Fred never mentioned Belle Good
win and treated me in very friendly
way. BY the time our wedding was
celebrated, while can't say that there
was anything loverlike between us,
there was certainly nothing repellent
on either side. / don't think my hus-
band mad any fault to find with me,
and had none to find with him. His
mother seemed to consider the mar
riage gust the same as any other union
between two persons who had gone
through a regular season Of love and
courtship.
"How do all the royalties get on to-
gether?' she said.s They seldom go
through the period of romantic pas
sion, and 1 don't see that there are
any more unhappy marriages among
them than among other persons"
All went fairly well till noticed In
my husband a peculiar melancholy.
At least / set it down as melancholy,

There was a good reason why Fred

ties. The truth is that Mrs. Boynton

drs. Boynton took me to live with her.

an attractive fellow, apd l had no OBJ

and even If ] had been Indifferent to

the desire of his mother that he and I
should both be her children as husband
and wife.
But Fred became infatuated with
the other girl. / use the word infat-

the selfishness of her treatment of him.
She accepted his attentions, engaged
herself to him, then when another man
she wanted came along she broke with
Fred. She did not get the other man,
but she and Fred did not reunite.
1t was not long after her break with
him that Fred came to me and said his
mother so greatly desired our union
that so far as he was concerned he
was willing to crafty her. But he felt
that it was due me that should know

A STRIKING and significant
contrast, and one that is agree
able for the liberal mind to con-
template, is the attitude of the
National Republican Committee
against presidential primary.
The question was put square
ly before the national committee
by Senator Borah, and vote
taken. The Taft people stood in
solid phalanx against the d.
rect primary, and as they have
an overwhelming maj ,rity in the
com mittee, it was voted down.
They had nothing to offer against
the plan, except that they We're
sure of the delegates as the case
stood and they were not willing
to take chances on veto to their
program by the mere common
herd of the party.
The Manchus of the Republi-
can party are destined to pay
dearly for the open display of
contempt for the rank and file OF
the organization. Gradually it
will sink into the programmed
voters of the Eastern region that
their brethren in the Progress
sive States enjoy privileges With
in the party that are denied to
them, and they will demand to
know the reason. No doubt we
would all of us be in favor of an
aristocracy, if we could only
have the assurance that we were
to be of the favored few. The
National Committeeman are do.
ing very well, thank you, and
would rather have things con-
tinue just as they are. But a
little latter they will begin to
hear from the back counties.
Zone point will continue to
puzzle the politicians of the La
Toilette faction, and that is this:
Ii the raft candidacy is in such
perfect order as We have been
led to believe, with the South
perfectly solid, the East unbrok-
en- and even the Middle West al
most unanimous why were his
supporters in such terror Of a
popular vote on him as against
the tieldY What prompted this
sudden and determined refusal
of the presidential primary? Was
it bad politics or bad sportsman
ship, or just desire on the
part of our political aristocrats
to administer swift kick to the
People, SO that they may learn to
keep their proper place?

Van Hi.e An.wer. carY,. critiei.m

Whatever government by ex-
perts and commissions now exists in
Wisconsin has been created by the
state legislatures, and not, of course
by the University of Wisconsin, "
said President Charles r. Van Hise
of the University of Wisconsin, in
discussing Superintendent G. P,
Cary's second letter criticising the
state University.
The legislature some years ago
established the legislative reference
bureau to give the members expert
assistance in framing laws. Appre-
ciating that the sound legislation
which followed in Wisconsin was
largely in consequence of this de-
partment. a number of other states
established legislative reference
libraries. The development of
methods of scientific legislation was
CARR one stage farther by the last
legislature in the creation of aspub.
lie affairs board, having comprehen-
sive authority of investigation land
iniasive to recommend with refer
ence to all public questions.
1.-The university professors who
are members of the state commits :
sions have been appointed by the
governors OF the state, not by the
university. Members and scommi :
mitees of the legislature have re-
quested some of the university facul
ty to give them expert assistance.
Thus, these representatives of the
people of the state, not the univer-
sity of Wisconsin, have brought a.
bogt whateger increased expert SER
vice the univei sity has been able to
render the state government.
IF the people of Wisconsin have
been dissatisfied with the kind Of
government which their representa-
tives have created for them in this
state during the last decade, and
which has made Wisconsin model
for other states, and in some re-
spects for the United States, the
people have not expressed their
dissatisfaction at the polls by Sc
lecting less cons tructive law makers
and administrators.

Roosevelt wrote in the Outlook on

KILLING WITCH GRASS.
Two Ways of Fighting the Pasture
Weed Described-One Is Unusual.

VceO OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES 10 OUuSuots
One spring witch grass began to
show in a clover pasture. 1t was a
wet season, and we couldn't keep it
down. says a Wisconsin correspondent
Of the American Cultivator. The next
season l put some ground into cab
bage, just a little cabbage along where
this quack was, and there is one OF tie
crops that will help to clean the lard
by the amount of thorough cultivation
of the ground. I hoed it out all sum-
TENDER, and last season | put strip or
corn again on this same ground In or
der to kill the qusck out II there was
any left, but / failed TO find any there
at all, and it was cleaned out just by
working it thoroughly with the cab
bage crop the year previous
A somewhat unusual method Of fight
ing witch grass was described in a.
Wisconsin farmers meeting. The in
tested land was heavily manured III
the winter or spring and the manure
narrowed two or three times to work
it down among the roots and stimulate
rapid growth. which brings the roots
nearer the surface. When the grass
begins to bloom is reckoned as its
weakest stage, when it is most easily
destroyed. 1t is then plowed under.
using a chain to turn under the tops
and then carefully bury all the grass.
The field is then narrowed and disk
narrowed, the harrow being set over SO
as to slightly loosen the upper soil.
Then tuckwbeat is narrowed In, two
bushels per acre.
It was found that the buckwheat will
keep down all the witch grass surviv-
ing, and the little that is left will be
killed If the field is plowed and left in
the furrow over winter. No attempt
Is made to harvest the buckwheat. but
the improvement OF the soil in the de-
struction of the witch grass Ii consid-
cred sufficient repayment for the use
of the land one year. Those who
would be unwilling to give Zip their
land entirely for season could plant
a coed crop even after the witch grass
had bloomed and was turned under.
No doubt hoed crop would more thor
Oughly kill out the grass than any 9TH
er means and would afford some direct
return for the labor.
