Now is the time to attend TO proven
tive measures for disease among chicks
to be Matched out next spring. There
may be mild forms of diseases among
the flock during the winter, yet by
reason of the greater strength of the
mature birds, none of them may die.
But When the spring chicks begin To
ccme, they may die rapidly from the
50 me diseases which have been car
ried along in the houses and grounds
during the winter. Keeping the birds
healthy and the Surroundings sanitary
through the winter mean greater sue
cess with chicks next spring. General
sanitation of the grounds and houses
should be looked after regularly. Drop
pings should be removed frequently;
disinsectants should be used every few
weeks to kill germs Of disease and lice
which carry disease.

Editorial Comment
To Please DingIey?
hInnhinc Dnnnhlinnn \

Senator o. Gardner, the Democratic
candidate for election by the Legisla-
ture which convenes next month, is
using all kinds of arguments to cause
, the representatives elect to vote for
him. He is urging the Progressives
to give him their votes, but it is hard
to gather just why they should do so.
The so-called Progressives were
elected to the Legislature on the Re
publican ticket, their party having no
ticket in the field in the State cleo
ton. They are, therefore, in duty
bound to vote for a Republican candi-
date in preference to o. Gardner.
Mr.. Burleigh, the Republican candi-
date, has every reason to expect the
representatives elected on the Re
publican ticket to vote for and elect
him to the United States Senate,
1t would be just as consistent for
Mr.. Burleigh to make appeal to the
Democratic members of the Legisla
ture to give him their votes as it is
for Mr.. Gardner to expect votes of the
so-called Progressive members. There
are no Progressive members of the
incoming Legislature. 1t is impossi-
bic. There was no Progressive
ticket in the field. They We're elect
ed as Republicans and are, therefore,
Republican representatives. They
will, of course, support the Republi-
can candidate. There is no other
honorable thing for them to do. then
why all this "slush" about the Bull
Moose" representatives? There is
principle involved. No man who
knows anything, or who has spark
of manhood is going to become a
Judas Iseariot simply because 0ba-
diah Gardner asks them to. to satisfy
the awful itch he has for office
Isn't it nice position he is taking?
Himself nominated in the primaries,
he asks voters of the opposite politi-
cal faith to repudiate the primary
election laws and turn down their
own candidate who was nominated
under the same law as was he. Ii
is certainly refreshing and O. Gard
ner will be defeated as he ought 10
be, for this reason, if for no other

wLove Is Not Blind"


Love is not blind, but those who love are
blind!
Eacn Iault assumes virtue to the
eyes,
And never comes doubt or mild sur
prise
So long as words are true and smiles are
kind
But let there come a day when duties
bind,
Or harsh words greet the carson, then
the signs,
For Reason, in Loves stead, draws near
and tries
To let the light shine in upon the mind.
At first all objects seem or light or dark
But as day passes day there slowly
comes
More light. until a fault is just a fault,
And Love, who silent came, departs
with drums,
No Joyous beat like those within a park,
But muffied, as if leading to a vault!

BASEBALL NOTES.

1t doesn't look like pennant race
in the National league with the
Giants so far out in front.
Boston fans like the work of Young
ORourke, the Bridgeport shortstop,
now playing with Johnny Kings
Braves.
Cy Seymour, formerly of the
Giants, is hitting close to the $50
marak for Newark in the Interna-
tional league.
Bill Reidy has succeeded Danny
Long as manager of the San Francis
co team in the Pacific Coast league.
Despite the poor showing of the
Brooklyn Dodgers Jake Daubert CON
tinues to shine in all departments OF
the game.
Since Russell Ford joined the New
York Americans in 1910 he has lost
but two games to the Cleveland Maps.
BY the way he is stealing bases it
doesn't look as though Sam Crawford,
Of the Tigers, is slowing down this
year.
Mike Donlin has been playing great
ball in the field this season and hit
ting in the neighborhood of 400 for
the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Young Magee, who is putting up
fancy article of ball for the Cardi-
nails, is not related to Sherwood Ma
gee, the heavy hitting Quaker.
Catcher Nunamaker, of the Boston
Red Sox, is out of the game nursing
a badly split hand, the result of one
of Halls fast inshoots.
Baltimore has sold Pitcher Bob
Grant to the Allentown Tri-State lea
que team, and Shortsop Ray Cameron
to the Hamilton club of the Canadian
league.
Clark Griffith and his Washington
outflt are going TO cause all KINDS OF
trouble for the American league
teams this season You can read it
in the stars.
When he failed to hit safely in a
recent game, Hany Perry, of the Prov
Idence team, cursed his luck and was
fined $40 and put out of
he game. Moral: Don't talk to your
self out loud on the ball field.

POLITICAL CORRUPTION MAY RE-
SEAT THE DETHRoNED
MONARCH.

Lisbon, June 19.-All Portugal at
the present moment is seething vol
cano of political corruption, petty
tyranny, monarchial conspiracies and
active preparations for an early re-
volt against republican government,
which. it is conceded by many Of its
erstwhile supporters. has utterly
failed in its purpose.
Every promise made by the repub-
hcan leaders as justification for the
change from the old regime has eth
er been broken or ignored. Instead OF
reduced taxation and better condi-
tons generally. the Portuguese peo-
pie find that taxes have have been
practically doubled, with a conse-
Quent increase in the cost of living,
while personal libeuty is dependent
upon the personal prowess Of the sub
ject.
The revenues raised by the repub-
hcan government have been spent
chiefly in establishing more or less
disguised form of MILITARY rule,
with large detachments of troops sta
toned at every point where opposi-
ton is even suspected. Many of the
wise ones in Lisbon do not hesitate
to say that goodly share of the
money wrung from the people by ex-
ira taxation has found it's way into
the pockets of some of the political
leaders. especially those connected
with the Carbonate, a secret organ
ization that has brought about a YER
table reign of terror, the tyranny of
which is most keenly felt in the coun-
try districts, where the protection OF
life and property has little, if any
government aid.
Weak Lawyer Reai Ruler.
Emboldened, perhaps, by their sue
cess in creating widespread fear OF
their vengeance throughout the inter
ior, the leaders of the Carbonate
have lately taken to aggressive action
in both Oporto and Lisbon.
Only the other day DIR. Jose d'Al-
media, one of the strongest members
Of the provisional government, and
presumably still staunch republican
in principle, was served with notice
that he would be assassinated at the
earliest opportunity for daring to crit
icize the parliamentary attitude of
Alfonso Costa. the reputed chieftain
of the Carbonario.
Whether he be the terrorist chief
or not, this same Alfonso Costa, hith-
erto an unknown lawyer of uncertain
practice, is today the most powerful
man in the republican uncrowned
king. who rules with rod of iron.
His power is born chiefly of dead
