It is a mistake to allow orchard
land to lie hard and crusty in the
spring simply because there are no
weeds growing. The orchard needs
cultivation Just as does the corn. A
mulch should be maintained SO as to
prevent the escape Of the moisture.
During midsummer the moisture will
be needed, and il 1t is dried out the
trees may suffer and shed their leaves
early.

PROOF OF THE THEFT.

OF course, the people of Massachusetts have
only the word of the Roosevelt that Californias
two Taft delegates were stolen and the word of the
Taft men that they were not.
The people of Maryland have only the word Of
the Roosevelt men that lndiana's Taft delegation
the creation Of corruption, and the word of Tafs
men that it was honestly selected.
The people of Pennsylvania have only the word
Of the Roosevelt that Wasningtons entire State
delegation was stoen and the word of the Taft men
that they were honestly elected, and should have
been seated.
But the people Of California, Indiana, Arizona,
Washington, and other States who were robbed Of
their delegates, and denied their voice at Chicago
know what is true and what is false.
Watch how the Taft cause gets along in these
Ststes and watch how the Roosevelt movement
grows in these States.
You cannot fool the man who has been slugged
and robbed into thinking he has been treated courte-
ously. The proof of the theft is the loss of tho
money!
The Washington times., 1912-08-02
RUBBER STAMP UNPOPULAR.

An enthusiastic admirer Of Governor Wilson
wrote letter congratuating him upon his nomfna-
ton, and received an acknowledgment signed with
a rubber stamp Just for that the wrote another
letter Withdrawing his support Of Wilson, saying:
There must be decided streak of yellow in you to
descend to the petty artfce of signing that particular
kind Of personal letter with rubber stamp"
Governor Wilson should have known better. He
should have profited by Tafts failure who has per-
ntted himself to be used as a rubber stamp to
%. X" all schemes of the Bosses and Big Business.
The rubber stamp is not a popular party emblem
this year!
The Washington times., 1912-08-02
A DEMOCRATIC TARIFF IS?

1t is reported the House will not consent to the
passage of any of the tariff bills recently passed by
the Senate, because they do not conform with the
Democratic policy on the tariff.
What is the Democratic policy on the tariff !?
Is it the policy that party pursued the last time
it framed tariff bill, engineered by Smith Of New
Jersey (Wilson's enemy before the nomination)
and German of Maryland tariff bill which reeked
with corruption which President Cleveland refused
to sign because it stood for "dshonor and perHdy
as he wrote to Congressman Catchings which was
of SUCH easy virtue that resulted in Congressional
investigation to what Democrats got the swag ?
Or is it the policy pursued by the Democrats of
the Senate who voted with Adrich whenever he
needed their votes to protect the Interests from a
real revision of the tariff?
Or is it the policy of tariff for revenue only, as
set forth in the Bryanesque platform adopted at Bal
timore all others than which being unconstitutional
tional?
Or is it reputation of that platform, as urged
in the New York World and New York Sun, and
the framing of bill that will cover everything and
touch nothing like Mother Hubbard dressp
He would be the seventh son of seventh son
who would be so bold as to venture prediction re-
gardng the details of tariff bill that consistent
with the Democratic policy.
The Washington times., 1912-08-02

In value, until this week it reached its highest point,
ST 200 per share.
The Tobacco trust also was dissolved by Taft
and Wckershani, and as result the holders OF that
stock have been enriched several million dollars.
As soon as the Beef trust barons saw what had
overtaken the Tobacco trust and Standard Oil they
regretted they we're not dissolved too, although they
had fought for ten years to keep from being dis
solved. Consequently, they came into court and
asked that Wickersham and Taft let them dissolve.
Their petition will probably be granted, and then
the holders Of packing house stocks can knock off
from work. and live on the interest Of the apprecia-
tion In value Of their holdings due to Taft's trust
busting program.
All of which should make 1t very clear why Wall
Street is thoroughly mad at Taft, and longs for the
good old days when T. r. called malefactor Of
great wealth by his real name.

COUNSEL FOR THE PEOPLE.

Through the efforts Of young man by the name
Of Albert c. Richie, who appears as counsel for
the people," the Maryland Public Service Commits
sion is getting pretty clear idea of the amount Of
water in the capitalization Of the Consolidated Gas,
Electric Light and Power Company, Baltimores big
gest public service corporation.
Wouldn't it be fine thing If Washington had a

mission to listen to him?
Maybe the running boards wouldn't be so crowd

might cost less.
