Has More to Say of 7. r.
on the Theory of Mailman

Henry Watterson, the veteran edi-
tor of the Louisville Courier-Journal,
has the following further to say in
his theory as 20 Theodore Roosevelt
in view Of the result in Ohio. Mr..
Watterson caps his editorial with
An Invocation TO Civil War" and
says:
The result in Ohio makes it GER
tain that the voters OF the United
States will have to reckon with Theo-
dore Roosevelt next November at the
polls
1T viii matter not whether he ap-
pears under the emblem OF a regular
party nomination or as an insurrecto
appealing to all parties. Unless he
breaks down under the strain and is
taken 70 a lunatic asylum he will be
q candidate for president.
There can be in his name and
person but one issue-life tenure in
the executive Office and a civil fabric
imperial in everything except its nom
enclature.
Thus our system OF representative
government laid in constitutional
checks and balances, having achieved
the battle for Independent existence
and survived the several ordeals of
foreign invasion and internal conflict,
the disputed succession and the strife
Of sections and factions, must face
the final and yet greater peril Of mad
ambition, supported by corrupt and
corrupting millions. playing upon the
restless, the unknowing and unthink
ing, the purchasable. the brutal and
the vile.

ident, bawling Ike a drunken harlot

ocean OF filth. TO the horror Of Ameri-

the world, gives US a foretaste Of the
infamies before US.
There is nothing which this mad
man will not dare 10 attempt under the
excitement and the passion of the
state Of war he has stirred up in his
own mind and in the minds of the
crazy mobs that follow and applaud.
That he was able TO draw a man like
Taft into the cesspool attests the cruel
injury and wrong maniac armed rC
the teeth may accomplish, for Taft is
not only the president of the United
States, but he is a gentleman of upright,
self-respecting character. Being such,
he has proved wholly unequal to the
bloody fray and the dishonorable war
fare forced upon him. II is clear now
that he had better remained in the
White house, leaving the frenzied par
anoiac the field to himself.
The country has reached another
parting of the ways. From the exit
of Washington TO the death Of McKSl-
ley the citizens selected for presidents
Of the United States were leveIheaded
and well balanced men, about whose
mental integrity there had never been
the slightest question.
AT length this nation is a world
power. The issue precipitated by Theo-
dore Roosevelt is to decide whether
that arbitrament was in vain; whether
that sublime decision Of the sword,
with all that went before It and all
/ that is carried with it, shall be nullified :;
whether. become a world power, this
nation shall proclaim to mankind its
own failure by the abandonment of
its constitution, the overthrow Of its
! safeguards and the naming Of dic.a-
tor. He who says this IS not the issue,
little reeks what he is saying; he who
thinks II is not, were prudent to ques-
| ton his sanity. In its ultimate analy-
sis and its last word the Roosevelt
propaganda Is the invocation of a
mad man TO civil war"

Republican Papers For Cooke

The republicans of the district,
after some hesitation, appear to
have decided 70 make an active
canvas for a candidate Of their
own party. They have good men
to make their choice from, but
IL is only fair to remind them that
partisan considerations are irreIe-
want in judicial campaigns, and
that Judge Cooke is entitled to the
votes Of independent and broad
minded republicans on mis- fine rec
ord. He will get many such votes,
and will command the support of
independent and republican news
papers.
We are endeavorina in this and
other states to keep judges cut of
politics and politics out Of courts
as we'll as out Of judicial cam
palgns. One way to further this
Essential principal is to return
good judges regardless Of their
political affiliations. This is the
part Of sincerity, of consistency, of
duty and Of the highest public In
terest.

The term Of Justice George A.
Cooke Of the Illinois supreme
court expires next June. He was
elected, il will be remembered, in
1909, to I'LL the vacancy caused by
the death Of Justice Scott. The
fourth supreme judicial district 10
regarded as normally republican
but il elected Mr.. Cooke, demo-
erst, by a substantial majority be-
cause Of his ability, character and
fitness.
Justice Cooke Is without opposi-
ton In his own party as eandi-
date for another term. This fact
Goes the democrat lawyers and
judges Of the district much credit.
He has the respect and confidence
Of his associates on the supreme
bench; he is a careful, Independ-
ent. conscientious judge. In con-
siderins cases he foreets portisan-
slip and politics. as all fit judges
Go, or should do. He reaches his
conclusions in cases on the law

The following letters have been re- ceived from farmers located in various sections of the country on the merits and demerits of the mule and the horse.
 T have had thirty years experience in working horses and mules on to- bacco, wheat and corn farm, and prefer the mules. Their feet are smaller and they injure very little of the tobacco and corn; they are less liable to disease, less fastidious in ap- petite, will endure greater hardships, are longer-lived, and worry the blow man less, as they are more steady. Not one horse Is used for farm work to ten mules. in this section of the country. w. F. E., Kentucky.
 "On large farms where there is steady work and lots of it, I have found the mules the most profitable. They can do a certain amount of work at a less expense for feed. are tougher. and, in proportion to weight, stronger than horses. While they stand neglect and ill-treatment better than horses, they appreciate kindness just as we'll. Mules are ready for work six days of the week and fifty-two weeks in the year. and are all the better for it.. There Is a prejudice against mules

On one Ot the lights the pipe leading to the burner was bursted for sev- eral inches. Within a short tim e the room was filled with gas. The meter showed that a large amount of gas was passin z through it and Clifton Franks, one of Mir. Franks sons began to Rst the joints. When he reached 'he light which was put in yes- 'erday, he placeda match on the end Of a stick and held it near me connecting piece of pipe and instantly the entire room was in blaze.

on the farm He Is tougher, stands the heat and hard work better; he Is not so susceptible to disease as a horse. 1 know mules which, in plow- ing in a garden will step over hills of potatoes or other vegetables with as much care as the gardener would ask. 1 never saw a horse that would try to avoid stepping on a hill, and in some instances they seem to make point of trampling down everything in reach of their big feet."-L. w. C., Tennessee
 Our experience with mules leads us to believe they are harder than horses; they are seldom sick, their shoulders hardly ever become sore and they are more easily taught what is expected of them. We have never yet known of mule being injured in any respect from overlooking They know when to quit eating For steady
 work and hard knocks We prefer the msle every time The farmers of the west are beginning to appreciate them at their true value, as the number of mule teams now in use, compared to what there was few years ago, fully attests. HI. C. S., Kansas
 Forty years experience with mules has satisfied me that they will not compare, in a financial way, with
 horses, not being adapted to saddle or carriage, nor will they bring any in- | crease, as a horse does. They are mis-
 chievous, breachy and will often kill young stock if turned in with them on pasture A farmer of moderate means
 should keep horses every time."-H. M., Illinois.
 Where farming operations are car
 ried on, on large scale, and animals are kept solely for farm work, and
 not for alternate work and driving to
 buggy. I prefer the mule to horses. Mules endure a warm climate better than horses, largely because they dc
 not over-feed or ovSr-cXert themselve,
 in hot weather. No animal can talk the place of the mule in the south The mule is very val0able in garde

COVERING WALLS
 WITH y3ES'lArIA
Common Purple Var,ety Is Best Adapted to Hide Grea2 Vacant SpaCes-
 Needs Pruning.
(By WALTER B. LEUTZ.)


 We seldom see great wall spaces covered with wistaria, yet it is to our eye the most beautiful flower for that purpose that grows.
 The Japanese wistaria is not so well adapted to this purpose as the common royal purple flower of Amer ica. To get the best results the vine must be constantly pruned and kept back for two or three years, else il will run in long streamers and the flowers will hang straight down. The vines must be trained to run in all directions.
 We can never forget the wall of a large old house in Richmond, Va, that Is covered with this beautiful flower. The wall is about seventy feet high and Is one soft mass of ravishing beauty. In this climate the vine needs no attention after it has once been well started, and blooms early and late.

LIQUOR AND LIFE INSURANCE
Total Abstslnsrs In New York Com
psny Each Year Draw Increased
Dividends.

DIR. q. II. Head. In q recent issue OF

ing instance OF the benefits OF total
abstinence In the matter OF life in
surance.
A certain life insurance company

has since 1900 kept a separate record
OF abstainers insured In the total

pany. These total abstinence poll
eies each year draw increased divi'

cost OF insurance.
II may be explained that many In.
surance companies issue annual divi-
dends or refunds based upon the ac-
tual gains OF the companies, resulting
from the fact that the actual mortal
lty is less than the calculated mortal

The agent is, in reality. ONLY
SUPPOSED TO GET NEW SUB

all right to pay him when he comes,
ii payment has not already been
made. But no one should wait for
his coming as the delay in making

Another good reason why our

is that If We have TO send agents for
