Concerning TurnIps.

Turnips are useful in soups. They
give the stock good flavor. Turnips
contain n substance which gives the
soups in which they are cooked a gela-

Yellow turnips ought to be boiled

RoosEvELTs NEW PATTY.


The great Roosevelt is right in de-
mandinE that his party be a brand new
party. separate and apart from the
poor, old. steam roller party of the
Taft family. Amy hero Of the hour
ike Roosevelt who can draw such a
fine distinction between Boss" Lori
mer and Boss" Cox and who can
see only justice and honor in the use
81 the steam roller when he is playing
engineer. and who can detect only
liars" on the roller when others are
at the throttle. deserves better asso-
Citations than he finds among the re
publican bosses"
Roosevelt is right in formulating a
party of his own. II ought to be lab
eled the Big Me- party. the platform
Of which could be eloquently and con.
clusiyely written thus:
II am It.
The keynote Of the campaign should
be:
You're a liar"
Thus, with Taft lettering along on

COMMENT FROM THE CAPITAL

to revise the tariff, not downward, but
upward. That was the first tariff
achievement" of the Taft administra-
ton.
After feeling the wrath of the peo-
pie because of the passage of the
Payne-Aldrich tariff, Mr.. Taft publicly
declared the wool schedule to be in
defensible.
Very well. Along came the demo-
cratic house with a wool bill to revise
the ''indefensible'' wool schedule down
ward. Mr. Taft promptly vetoed that
bill. Achievement" No. 2 in the Taft
tariff record.
VETOED REVISION DOWNWARD.
Still insisting that he believes GER
tain of the tariff schedules to be too
high, Mr. Taft continued to veto re-
vision downward bills as fast as they
came to him from the democratic
house. This was achievement" No. 8
in the Taft record
Still deaf to the demands of the peo-
: pie for a cut in the tariff rates, but
still processing an intention to revise
the tariff downward, Mr.. Taft has re-
manned silent all this session of con-
gress, notwithstanding the fact that a
number of revision downward bills are
at the present lying pigeon-holed in
| the senate. Mr.. Taft could demand
and get action on those bills if he
so desired, but he remains silent
Achievement" No. 4 in the Taft tarif
record.
The only achievement in that Taft
tariff program is the Payne-Aldrich
bill, and this has been thoroughly and
completely repudiated by the people.
Mr.. Hilles has mapped out a hard
job for himself.

WHERE THE MECHANICAL MES
SAGE Is THE MORE RELIABLE.

SAGE Is THE MORE RELIABLE.
In view Of the disclosures Of the in
vestigation into the horrible wreck on
the Burlington at Western Springs
the other morning, wherein it was
shown that the catastrophe was large
". If not entirely due TO a confusion
or misunderstanding Of the telephone
dispatchers message, the wonder is
that more accidents have not resulted
from the system the road has been
relying upon. The wonder is. indeed
that the Burlington should have estab-
lished the proud record it has the past
few years in conducting its immense
train service over its main lines sue
. cessfully.
The substitution Of the telephone
for the telegraph by the Burlington
may have proven an economical ex-
pertinent, and II may have worked sue
! cessfully up TO the present time, yet
there would seem 10 be always the
hazard in verbal transmission Of mes
sages that is not so likely to occur
through the use of the mechanical de-
vice. Words, however carefully pro-
nounced, are more apt TO be misunder-
stood than the click of the instrument
10 the trained ear. This must be es-
pecially true where numbers are used.
There have been mistakes in the mis-
Interpretation of train orders dispatch
ed by the telegraph since the opera
ton Of railroads began, but they have
been generally chargeable to care
lessness or heedlessness on the part
Of the trainmen quite as much as TO
the operators, although recklessness
or thOughtessness on the part Of a
dispatcher has been the cause of
many a disaster.
The same general rule applies to
the fire alarm. Rock Island tried the
telephone fire alarm for years, and II
was finally abandoned for the mechan
ical system. Many a fire loss occur
red in Rock Island in other years
either because of delay on the par
of the telephone exchange or a mis-
understanding of locations given ovel
the telephone, and 1t was not an un
usual occurrence for the department
to be sent in directly the opposit,
direction from the scene of the fire. A
other times buildings were destroyet
during the delay in communicating thu
message to the department.
A perfectly working mechanical
system has the advantage over thu
verbal message from the standpoint
both of speed and accuracy.

They Can Trot Faster Than a Grey
hound Can Run.
In Maine it is cOntended that the carl
bou can outrun any other animal. Ac-
cording to the testimony of one woods
man, caribou left behind a greyhound
that had been matched against them.
A guide succeeded IN starting the
dog after some carbou-a herd Of

Now. the caribou trots, instead Of
running. like most other wild animals.
In the present case there had been q
plentiful fall OF snow. a rain which
had formed a thick crust and then an
other faI Of snow. all of which con-
sdtuted the very finest surface where

When the greyhound was loosed its
owner confidently expected that it
would outrun the caribou.
When the caribou woke up and hi'
