No Monopoly of Bad Language.

Colonel Roosevelt's u%nrivaled
~fluency of epithet has put his sup
porters upon their mettle. Here are
the phrases which some of them have
thrown into the ring at Chicago,
along with their hats:
George w. Perkins, who is busy
Harvesting Roosevelt delegates, re-
marked:
you can't steal a red hot stove
under the eyes of 80, 900, 900 peo-
pie"
This comment of Senator Dixon
was equally as pointed:
Judging from the action of this
bunch Of burglars in the national
committee il looks as if there were
a fairly good crisis in the republican
party.
The reforming Heney of San
Francisco characterized the action
of the committee on Oklahoma thus:
Il say this is a steal-a clean steal
The Taft champions are not less
bitter, as shown by the statement
by Mckinley, comparing Roosevelt
to Napoleon and Finn to Marshal
Ney. But some OF them are slightly
more parliamentary. Take, for in
stance, this editorial paragraph
from the New York Times:
$50 far in our political history
we have escaped pretty well the
curse of ancient democracies, the
domination of a single determined
ambitious, INSCRIPTIONS demagogue.
1t has been attempted. Aaron Burr
tried it and for a time won a dis
quieting degree of success. He was
in some regards not unlike the ex
president-cunning, subtle, a nat
ural schemer, an adept in appeals to
the thoughtless and emotional, and
indifferent TO the character of his
agents or agencies he chose to reach
his object. In the end he failed
miserably, and with the exception
of Benedict Arnold, there is not a
more dested name than his in our
annals"
The New York World is more
terse if 0 more offensive in this
phrase:
Even Andrew Johnson, when he
was sober, showed more respect for
the presidential Office than Mr..
Roosevelt has ever shown"
This outbreak is without prece-
dent in our recent political history.
We seem to be reviving the bitter
ness of the campaigning of the early
days of the republic. 1t was in the
spirit Of the hour that they threw
mud at a Roosevelt train in Ohio
Brooklyn Eagle.

WHY JUDGE PARKER?

All things considered, il is diff
cult to see why Judge Alton b.
Parker should be chosen temporary
chairman of the democratic nation
al convention. So far as The Her
aid is able to recall, Judge Parker
has never done anything for the
democratic party, except to lead one
Of the most disastrous defeats it
ever experienced. He, more than
any other man, represents the betray-
al of the party by the Wall Street
influence. He stand perhaps more
than any other democrat today for
the corporate interests, whose aim,
of course, is to control the conven-
tions of both the parties.
Judge Parker in fact, is TO the
democrats nothing more than a pain

an incident in the party's history
which it would gladly forget. Hi!

gavel in his hand, could not inspire

ory of the delegates in Parker and
Parkerism be clear, his personalit.
would be more likely to have a we

Parker the highest honor in it's eif

Third Dif~iculty-Pruning.

The growth on the vines here is
so enormous that, in addition to Sc
we're and intelligent pruning in the
winter, after the vines become dor
|mant, | believe the vines need sum-
Imer pruning nearly once a month.
This forces back the vitality in the
main trunk, so that what would
otherwise be wood growth buds, be-
come fruit buds. Withou this prun-
ing, l believe you will have immense
wood growth, but no fruiting COM
mensurate with the size of the vines
and the root growth. believe the
work | am now putting on my vines
will ensure a large crop next year.
And this brings me to what is and
for a long time will be the main
difficulty.

The Main Difficulty.

The raising Of grapes here is an
expert proposition; a man can not
handle a large acreage, because, at
least until he can train some one to
do the work, he has got to do it
himself. While | have been writing
this article, Mr.. Robertson of San
Benito, came with a party to see the
grapes, and he said there was not
another acre or half acre Of grapes
in the Valley which had been proper
ly cared for. The result is that
have more grapes actually fruiting
on one acre of Black Hamburgs, Ats
vines, planted on March 2. 1911,
or a little over a year ago, than are
on IL acres planted by Mr.. Kilgore
at Harrington four years ago; and
this brings me to a warning.
Must Study Grapes.
Do not plant any grapes. unless
you are prepared to study their Gull
.ture and do the continuous work
necessary to make them a success.
SO far every planter Of grapes in this
Rio Grande Valley, on a commercial
scale, has been a loss TO the man
who furnished the money. and this
loss is in every case due to neglect
or improper care; every vineyard
owner will tell you this. It is an
expert proposition, To illustrate: !

that she can do much Of the sum-
mer pruning, and | will send her

GRAPE GROWING IN

(By Eltweed Pomeroy,
President Rio Grande Horticultural

In view of our horticultural So
.ciety's Fruit Day." to be held at
Donna, on Monday July 1st next,
have been asked to write briefly
something about grapes. My ex-
pertinent at LaGranja is exciting
much interest; as the grapes ripen,
from one to four or five parties come
to see them every day. 1t is full of
promise, but l shall first write about
the three difficulties.
First Dificulty-Root Rot.
No one quite knows what root
rot is, and experts do not even know
but what we should say are" as
there may be many varieties; they
only know it is a fungus growing
in the ground, on the roots of many
plants and killing them. 1t does
this with grapes. | have successful
ly combatted it with copper sulphate
but my experience is too short to
be sure it is a permanent remedy
but it looks so. DR.. Harrington says
that if so, | have done the greatest
achievement for the growing of fruit
in Texas. since fruit trees and vines
have been planted. Mr.. Arbenz adj
vises grating on mustang or some
native root resistant TO root rot; his
method is sure but expensive, slow
and contains other elements Of I'M
certainty, such as getting a vine
which will both grow and bear well
here, and grow we'll on the mustang
roots.

Hon. L cks Craige spoke at
Lands Saturday to a large num-
Der of people. Theo F. Kluttz,
ESQ, of Salisbury introduced the
speaker.
Mr.. Craig in his speech dwe9t
upon the great National issue of
the day, the tariff. He said the
Republican party had assumed to
claim for itself the prosperity of
the country, while the truth is
the country's prosperity was in
the brain and brawny muscle of
she toiling masses.
1t is just as reasonable, said the
speaker, to attribute to the Re-
publican party the introduction
of hookworm or p~ellagra as it is to
attribute prosperity to the Rspub
llcan parry.
He invited the Republicans,
who had been so long loyal to the
old party, but who had been 80
recently forced out, to come and
join the Democrats and live in
peace aud happiness under the
banner of the party that is to be
victorious on the fifth of Novem-
