The Foot and Mouth Disease.

An English board of agriculture
hlhdbill states that lin the early
stages Of the foot and mouth disease
the animal frequently smacks it's lips
ana shows by the movement Of its
tongue that the mouth is the seat OF
suffering, and the saliva flows freely
from the mouth.
AN examination Of the mouth shows
the existence Of vesicles on the tongue
and on the inner part of the upper
lip and on the pad. These vesicles
show themselves in the form of a
tough white skin which can be easily
stripped off. and red. raw surface is
ound beneath. The animal seldom re-
uses food, but rolls il about in it's
mouth and often drops 1t instead of
swallowing It. In most instances the
feet are affected as welt as the
mouth"

1t Is to be hoped that every Ameri-
can worker In the various industries
protected by the tariff will read the
address of Mr.. Underwood, Democrat
&c leader in the house of representa-
tives, in which he sets forth as taxa
ton the tariff duties on articles in
ordinary use. There is nothing novel
In the Underwood distortion of tariff
figures and facts. 1t Is as threadbare
as free trade, as threadbare as the
American workingman would soon be
II he should allow himself to be beguil-
ed by Underwood and other votaries
OF the late Confederate constitution
into the surrender Of Republican pro-
lection.
the tariff taxes he describes are I'm
posed on articles such as he describes
-woolen clothing, shoes, the tin pail.
window pane, carpet, etc, but he is
wholly and deliberately wrong and
misleading when he says that the du-
ties In question are imposed on or ad-
ded to the cost of these articles, as
used in the ordinary American family
The tariff tax is imposed on goods
manufactured abroad and imported for
sale IN competition with goods made in
America by American workers earning
American wages.
The man or woman who Is satisfied
with the product Of American labor
and nine-tenths Of the American people
are so satisfed-has no tariff tax to
pay and this Is shown by the fact that
the American article, with its manu-
facture fostered by protection, is often
cheaper in price than the imported
would be without paying tariff duties.
The tariff duties prevent excessive
imports. which would flood the mar
kets, as imported goods flooded the
market under the tariff reductions
made by the Democratic Wilson bill of
1894, reducing not only the tariff, but
reducing also the demand for Ameri-
can goods and for American labor to
make American goods. e. ..4
Mr.. Underwood's statement is cheap
claptrap. We had supposed, that style
of talk too muddy and cobwebbed for
further exercise, and the fact that 1t is
again dragged out of the discard proves
how hard pushed the free trade Dem
ocracy is for something to bolster its
waning cause.

HAS CHANGED AS CANDIDATE
Woodrow Wilson'S Speeches Now
-.'a Those Of Office Seeker.

Scattered among the platitudes OF
DR.. Wilson's speech of acceptance are
some truths. None is more significant
than this:
I'VE stand in the presence of an
awakened nation, impatient of partisan
make believe"
Following which he makes believe
that he Is telling the voters of the coun-
try his position on the campaign issues.
No one has yet been able to determine
from a reading of the speech precisely
what that position is. Some slight en-
lightenment comes from time to time
in his later utterances, like, for ex-
ample, the declaration the other day
that Tammany Is to be safe from his
assaults; but none Of It Is satisfying.
DR.. Wilson. In the preconvention
days, was represented to the country
as a scholarly gentleman, too lofty Of
mind to practice the wiles of the pro-
fessional politician, too earnest in the
cause of good government to be aught
but frank and fearless In his express
sion, too unselfish to put private ambi-
ton above the public veal. too idealis-
tic in character to truckle to the forces
Of evil In the nation.
But how singularly he has masked
all Of these qualities since William
Jennings Bryan forced his nomination
at Baltimore.
There is no difference, save in the
purity of the English, between his
speeches and the speeches of the pro-
fessional office seeker of the worst
period in American politics. He steps
pussy footed over all the large Ques-
lions of the day. He exhibits sus-
piciously broad tolerance for all ele-
ments In the body polite, even the
elements which, to nominate him, Bry-
an found 1t 'expedient to denounce by
name in the convention. There is
none of the rugged frankness of ut
terance that characterized his writings
In the days before he was inoculated
with the virus Of political ambition.
He Is proving over apt as an advanced
student of practical politics.
II IL not a pleasant nor a heartening
exhibition he makes of himself. The
right minded citizen can feel nothing
but sadness In contemplating q man
of education and culture 80 intent
upon partisan and personal victory
that he sacrifices those ideals of truth
and honesty for which he has always
stood to fawn upon and honeyfugle
the voters.
Dr. Wilson as q candidate Is not in
character with the DR.. Wilson that
was pictured to US prior to the Balti-
more convention. This awakened ma
ton, impatient Of partisan make be-
lieve," detects the difference.

Attorney General Wickersham re-
fleets the broad American spirit Of
himself and his chief, President Taft,

In his refusal to recognize the citizen

to Mr.. Wickersham in his battle for

The action of the executive commit

ing the election of three colored mem
bers, gentlemen of spotless profession

was outrageously, cruelty unjust and

Democratic prejudice which seeks to
crush the spirit of manly aspiration
In the negro's breast and to tolerate
him only as laborer on the planta-

an attempt TO nullify the constitution
of the United States, as amended after
the rebellion. by men whose sacred
obligation and welcome duty II should
be to support that instrument In their
every act as lawyers and as citizens.
In their resolute backing of Assist

the assaults of rank Bourbonism and

KEEPING THE LOOK OF YOUTH
Parlsiennes Are. Probably the Most
Successful In This, But Many May

y A Russian princess who has attract
ed much attention in Paris this winter,
and who is considered one OF the best
dressed women In that city, declares
that nothing ages q woman's appear
ance 80 much as the old-fashioned
method of pushing the flesh up above
the corset.
How few women who have passed
the dangerous" age stop to think Of
this, yet is It not true? The settled
look that comes with middle age IL
enhanced by stiff-corseted figure
above the waist.
Put money into a good corset. have
it fitted sitting down. and in adjust
ing it be sure to pull it far down
and grid 1t firmly round the hips.
Many women find as they grow
older they must have their evening
gowns cut high. This need not be
done II care Is taken to get a corset
that has low bust.
From Paris comes another hint
about youthful looks. A famous
says that real lace ages
women and should never be worn
near the face.
The Parisienne has learned to fight
age more successfully than most
women because she pays heed to de-
tails that to others seem trivial. She
makes a study of line, angle and
color. and who will say the results
are not worth the trouble?
1t Is every woman's duty to keep
young looking. The worst way to do
1t Is to feign youth through cosmetics
or a kittenish manner!-Cleveland

WILSON WOULD REPEAL ALL
PROTECTIVE TARIFF LAWS,

The following is taken from
an address delivered by Pro-
lessor Woodrow Wilson before
the tariff board In 1882. showing
his view then on the question
Of the tariff and the distinct an
nouncement Of his position as
free trader, opposed to all
tariffs except merely for the pur-
pose of raising revenue:
But the danger of imposing
protective duties Is that when
the policy is once embarked
upon 1t cannot be easily receded
from. Protection is nothing
more than a bounty, and when
we offer bounties to manufactur-
ers they will enter into indus
tries and build up interests and
when at later day we seek to
overthrow this protective tariff
We must hurt somebody and of
course there is objection. They
will say, Thousands of men will
be thrown out Of employment
and hundreds of people will lose
their capital This seems very
plausible; but ! maintain that
manufacturers are made better
manufacturers whenever they
are thrown upon their own re-
sources and left to the natural
competition of trade"
Protection also binders com.
MERGE immensely. The English
people do not send as many
goods to this country as, they
would II the duties were not 80
much and in that way there Is
a restriction of commerce and
we are building up manufactor-
les here at the expense of COM
merce. We are holding our
selves aloof from foreign coun-
tries In effect and saying, We
are sufficient to ourselves; we
wish to trade, not with England,
but with each other main
tain that 1t is not only a per-
nicious system, but a corrupt
system.
by Commissioners Garland:
q. Are you advocating the re-
peal of all tariff laws?
"A. OF all protective tariff
laws; Of establishing a tariff for
revenue merely. It seems to me
very absurd to maintain that we
shall have free trade between
different portions of this country
and at the same time shut our
selves out from free communica-
ton with other producing coun-
tries of the world. If 1t Is neces-
sary to impose restrictive duties
on goods brought from abroad 1t
would seem to me as a matter
Of logic, necessary to impose
similar restrictions on goods
taken from one state of this
Union to another. That follows
as necessary consequence;
there is no escape from It,"

 The greater menace to hog raising is cholera. There are numerous methods to prevent hog cholera. which are generally we'll known, but the only sure method is to have them vaccinat- ed. The farmers in different neighborhoods should get togeth- CT and have Dr. J. F. Stamford, veterinarian, at Fayetville. visit them and vaccinate their hogs sometime during the early part of the summer. while the hogs are small, and the expense will be light. His services:are free, and his only charge will be for his expenses. And the the ser um which will be furnished at cost. During his visit instruct ions can be given how to do the vaccinating, and after that the work can be done by some one in the community. By this means the hogs can be kept free from cholera, and when this is done there can be no doubt of the profitableness of raising hogs.

IlME FOR KILLING HOGS

The time for killing hogs is ap- preaching, and that reminds us forcibly of the importance of hog to the farmer. No other anil nal raised on the farm is more profitable than the hog. Meat is one of the essentials. and hog meat is the best meat adapted to farm use, because it can be ec- onomicalIy produced and cured for future use. Dry salt extras,
 or plain side meat bacon with the lard pressed out is selling by, 1 the ear load in this state now at a little above twelve cen ts a pound, to dealers. When the
 fa merS buy 1t from the retail erS they r ray more of course.
 H. ms are still higher. So it is plain that the farmers can mak ( money by raising their own meat.
 Nothing pays better. It costs but little to keep a few hogs in the farm. and their presence at hog killing time is the best guar antee of independence for the individual farmer. Two or three good brood sows kept on the 1 farm and breed along about this time of the year will keep the average farmer in meat at the least cost. The pigs should come in February or early March, so they will be ready to wean and be put on grass in the spring.
 A small patch of alfalfa or clover with a light feed of shorts and bran, and some skinned milk or butter milk will make them grow rapidly and develop, and keep them fat. The pigs should be pushed and kept fat all the time. I By this method they willbe ready to turn into the corn field when
 the corn is gathered in the fall,
 md if peas have been planted in corn at laying by time, they will
 fatten themselves and by a little corn feeding in the pen next De- cember they will weigh right around two hundred pounds a piece by the following Christmas when they are killed. During their growth the pigs should have plenty of pure water. and should be given plenty of charcoal from
