LaFOIIette WhaCkS 7. R.

In a picturesque, spontaneous outburst
during debate Of the Presidents wool
tariff vote in the Senate last week. Sem
ator La Toilette attacked the new Pro-
gressive party and swore new allegiance
to progressive Republicanism.
The Original insurgent, quivering
with emotion, with clenched hands and
strained face. poured out flood of inn
passioned oratory that kept the floor
galleries Of the Senate rapt and silent.
Standing in the well of the chamber.
Senator La Toilette assured his associ-
ates that he intended to keep up the
fight in the Republican party to make
that party really progressive" and to
keep on until the last bell rings and
the curtain falls.
After reviewing briefly the trust rec
ord of Colonel Roosevelt. Senator La
Toilette declared that the former Presi-
dent was mot the man to find the way
out now." He asserted that mo OBJ
stacle dragged across the path of the
progressive movement in the Republi-
can party can now stop its advance" )"
Moving down hecentre aisle until his
outstretched, shaking hands almost
touched the stenographers' table. he
continued:
"On the day that Theodore Roosevelt
was made President of the United States
there were l49 trusts and combinations
in the United States. When he turned
this Government over to William How
ard Taft there were 10000 plants in
combination. When Roosevelt became
President these trusts had an aggregate
capitalization of three billion dollars. and
when he left the Presidency they had
an aggregate capitalization of thirty-one
billion and more than 20 per cent. of il
was water.
~ don't believe that the man who
was President for seven years, while
the greatest trust growth occurred. at
the very time of all times in the history
Of the Sherman Antitrust law it could
have been made potential in deterring
trust organization-I do not think that
the man who was President then, is the
man to find the way out now"

Senator Smith Objects.

Senator John Walter Smith. of Mary
land. opposed in the Senate the
House bill authorizing the Federal Gov
ernment to inspect and grade all grain
handled at the port Of Baltimore or
elsewhere, if moved in interstate COM
merce. This measure had been bitterly
opposed for two years by the Baltimore
Chamber Of Commerce and other grain
interests.
When the House bill came up last
week. unanimous consent was asked for
its passage. The Maryland Senator
jumped to his feet and interposed vig-
orous objection. He let his associates
understand that the inspection bill
would never become law with his con-
sent. Ry this act the measure goes over
until December and may not be again
taken up until new Congress is elected.
This bill" said Senator Smith. sis
most iniquitous. II places our grain
business under Federal control without
the remotest reason. II intrudes upon
the right of State or a trading
community to inspect and grade its own
grain. 1t is paternalisn of the worst
form and shall lose no opportunity Of
obstructing its passage.

The School of Horticulture of the
Maryland Agricultural College and Ex-
pertinent Station desires to conduct as
many demonstrations IN packing apples
this fall as possible. Any grower desir-
ing to have a demonstration in his or
chard where an expert will be present to
show how apples should be packed in
boxes and barrels, should communicate
with the School of Horticulture. College
Park, Md.
There is no doubt that our growers
should give more attention to the prop
er packing Of this fruit. 1t is in the
packing that the western growers have
been ahead of US. for we grow finer
fruit, but many orchardists have not
yet learned how to pack and market II
properly.

ORGANIZATION Of a School Of
Horticulture.

At recent meeting of the Board Of
Trustees Of the Maryland Agricultural
College and Experiment Station.
special School Of Horticulture was pro-
vided for.
This organization will coordinate the
extension work in horticulture and great
~ increase the staff Of instructors in
this subject at the College. The plan
will enable the work to be done by a
higher class Of men and make il more
permanent, as their services will be
continuous. The teachers in the School
of Horticulture will be specialists in the
different phases of Horticulture. such
as Pomology. Olericulture. Horticulture
and Landscape Gardening, and Bush and
Vine Fruits. They are to be men who
are broadly trained and can act as gen.
eral inspectors and demonstrators in
the State Department. This will give
them an opportunity to keep in touch
with the broad fields of horticulture in
all parts of the the State. and enable
them to teach their subjects with more
direct application to the students needs.
This organization will also enable the
Institution to develop each special
phase of horticulture in the State. and
the people to avail themselves Of the
help of the specialists. The plan pro-
vides for an expansion of the demon
stration work in the State.

a dozen are SO near on level that no
