that they would suffer for 1t. But 1t
all shows the horrible plight of poll
tics in this country and is disgrace
to the nation. How the London
dailies and weeklies will exult at
these revelations! How especially
will the Saturday Review rejoice at
justification of almost every fling
it has made at American corruption!
Can anything be said in reply? Very
little We can only construct a dia-
bolical plot by Archbold, Penrose, ct
al, to ruin Mr.. Roosevelt and the
Progressive cause. There are very
few things to justify such theory.
Among these is the death of Mr..
Bliss and the fact that his books as
treasurer of the committee were de-
stroyed by him; so that any accusa-
ton whatever could be made and no
proof of his falsity could be pro-
duced. OF course this argument will
apply as well to, the other side of the
case. Naturally the Standard Oil peo-
pie are furious at Roosevelt for his
prosecution of the trust and would
do almost anything to .checkmate his
ambition to be president again, but
that they would devise such plot is
hard to believe. If we inject Mr..
Penrose into the affair, we may say
that his 100000 story about the
Progressive campaign this year is so
absurd that it is difficult to credit any
of his charges. On the other hand
Roosevelt's relations with Hartman
during this campaign were such as to
make it probable that he welcomed
contributions. We know that he
asked Hartman to help in the New
York state campaign of that year
And 1t was no worse to ask Hartman
than it was to ask Archbold More
over the distinction between state and
national campaign funds is mythical.
The burden of proof is decidedly on
the colonel. He ought at once to
produce some proof. Let him testify
himself, and especially let him pro-
duce Mr. Cortelyou. Then we shall
still have an unsolved question but
the burden may not seem so heavy
against the eX-president,

A great many people, fearful OF the
ultimate swapping of this country by
an influx of foreigners. look only at
the statistics showing arrivals Of i'm
migrants, and forget that there Is a
Fefuent tide. During the fiscal year
which ended with the month OF June
more than a million individuals from
foreign ports landed in ports of the
United States. OF these, however,
1888 were classified as non-immi-
grants, which fact reveals the num-
Der Of immigrants as 83S,172, says the
Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin. But
against this there was an Offset. The
alien departures from American ports
IN the fiscal year numbered 615,292,
of whom 2S2, 900 were non-immigrants.
To find the extent Of the immigrant
addition to the population In the
year 1911-12 1t Ia necessary to sub
tract the 222,262 representing immi.
grants who departed from the $685..
l72 representing immigrants who ar
rived The result shows the gain in
population by immigration during the
year to have been 401, 1863, which Is
not alarming.

HOE is MOST HANDY }
OF FARM IMPLEMENTS
Most Useful Tool in Equipment OF
Gardener or FarmeT-Should
Be Kept Sharp.
AN R. G. wEATHERsToNEl

So many people have a horror OF
nsine q hoe. 1t is the most comfort
able implement to be found in the
equipment of a gardener or farmer
and It is handy to use for so many
nurposes that one cannot get along
without 1t.
Probably one reason that people do
not like the hoe is that most hoes ex-
plain at once how dull as hoe"
came into. proverbial use.
A dull hoe is certainly not pleas
ant implement with which to work.
The good gardener will keep his ia
vorite hoe filed to sharp edge all the
time. It is impossible to grind hoe
on a grindstone because the bevel
must be OIL the upper side of the blade
when 1t is in use in order to make
the hoe bite into the soil
File your hoe. making the bevel
about twice as wide as the thickness
of the blade Then keep it bright and
when YOU go out after weeds the hoe
slips through the soil so easily that
hoeing ia not much like hard work.
In hoeing a long slow movement
should be made, if the soil is in good
condition. Simply "scufling" half an
inch of the top soils enough to kill
weeds and one can go over lot OF
ground in one day If the hoe is sharp
and bright and the strokes long and
smooth.
With a sharp hoe one can cut
thistles. dock, dandelions and other
noxious weeds with quickness, dis
patch and ease 1t is light to handle
easy to use and more effective than
any other implement for many pur'
poses.
In choosing a hoe select one the
blade of which lies not quite fiat on
the floor when you are standing erect
with the hoe handle extending from
your hand when in working position tc
the floor. The heel of the hoe should
not quite touch the floor from this
position.
Such hoe will bite into the sol
easily. when it is bright and SHARP
and will work smoothly and effectively
Sharpen the hoe as soon as 1t gets
\ noticeably dull This will be hard or
the hoe. but 1t saves muscle and hoes
are cheap Carry a small fiat file in
your hip pocket and do not allow 8
nick to stay in the hoe . minute

EXPOSES THE TARIFF FRAUD
American company's Offer of Steel
Rails to Manchester, England, Is
Illuminating.

Recently the city of Manchester
England, wanted steel rails for it's
roads. The contract was not a large
one, but when it was advertised the
bidding for 1t was sharp and bitter
Manchester is in the iron and steel
district of England, and in a position
to command the lowest price on the
domestic product.
When the bids were opened, how
ever, 1t was found that an American
concern. the Lorain Steel company of
Johnstown, Pa, had made the lowest
offer In round figures, the Lorain
company would sell for $4,000 what
it's English rivals demanded $4,000
for.
The American company was pre-
pared to manufacture the rails, pay
freight and handling to the Atlantic
seaboard, pay freight and handling by
sea to England, and again pay freight
and handling to Manchester, and still
make a profit on it's sale at nearly
ten per cent. under the British price,
And yet, in the face of such show
ing as this. the stand pat Republican
still maintains that the present tariff
on steel rails is absolutely essential
to the prosperity of the industry in
this country. The steel business is
still to him an infant industry, even
though it can go into the heart of
Britain and win contracts in competi-
ton with hard-headed, close-calculat-
ing manufacturers of the tight little
isle
AS it is with steel. so it is with
number of other products of our man
ufacturing plants, and. with much of
our raw material Some day the Amer
lean citizen will wake to the fact that
he has been swindled by the tariff
mongers who have fattened on his
toll, and then the day Of reckoning
will come.

PORK GROWN MOST CHEAPLY BY FEEDING
SOME GRAIN TOGETHER WITH FORAGE
1t Has Been Shown at Different Experiment Stations That the
Best Forage Crops Are Little More Than Maintenance Ra
tiOn-AaIa ExCeS.

Results of Investigations at the Mis-
souri experiment station indicate
clearly that pork can be produced
most cheaply by feeding grain in com
bination with forage
The kind of grain depends, of course,
upon the forage crop. In the work
lone at this station, in general, when
the forage was a legume, such as al
Ialfa, clover, cowpeas or soy beans,
straight corn was the grain fed. With
non-leguminous forages. such as blue
grass, rape and oats, sorghum or rye,
the corn was supplemented with lin
seed oil meal, the ration being made
up of six parts corn to one part of oil
meal
While the kind of grain to feed is

this station, with half feed of grain
alfalfa was found to carry twelve

While it took five or six pounds of
grain to the pound of gain, in dry lot

pounds was required when the hogs
ran on alfalfa.

PASSING OF STEAM ENGINES.


The practical success which has fol-
lowed the use of the internal combus'

his company would never again build
