No Hostility to Liquor Traffic
On Public Part

The fact that more liquor,
wines and beer are made and sold
q greater number of gallons per
capita. than ever before in the
past is proof that the public is
not hostile to the liquor traffic.
But intemperance is abhorrent to
citizens generally, many of them
have been led to believe that
saloons are responsible for IN
temperance and that is the reason
for vicious and restrictive legisla-
ton against the men who run
them. But in any considerable
town or city where the attempt
is made to do away with the sa-
loon. it is overcome in many in
stances. Indeed, where saloons
are put out the sale of liquor goes
on. because liquor and beer are
commodities which the public
wants.
Il is not worth while to argue
that liquor hostilities are clntem-
perate and that the individual
must be held responsible for his
degradation, whatever its form
of intemperance,. and there are
many besides drink,
Political leaders, who are con
strained to believe it policy to
support anti saloon theories, are
wholly lacking in the qualities
that make parties successful. 1t
has become q political axiom that
q man hostile to the liquor traffic
can not be elected to any but .
petty Office and seldom there.
The saloon business is conducted
by good men and bad men just as
is the case in other lines. and the
business like other businesses,
has no gender-it can be neither
moral or immoral. American

People who write things which

STRAIT EthIea In Chicago.

A law has been enacted in Prussia
which makes 1t a prison offense for
any one to fail to answer q cry for
help or to go to the rescue OF q per
son In danger. when 1t Is possible to
do so without endangering ones own
life. Such law would not be amiss
in Chicago. Not only ethics, but or
binary decency and manliness are too
frequently forgotten here. Let thug
assault a person in the street and the
majority Of men who happen along,
instead of going to the assistance OF
the person assaulted, will scurry away
30 as not to be dragged into the AFFAIR.
Let q person be injured by street
car half the people who witnessed the
accident will refuse to give their
names to be called upon as witnesses
by the victim.
Whether all the ethics Of citizenship
can be enforced effectively through
laws and ordinances may be doubted.
yet the legal declaration Of some pri-
mary duties would help to develop
conscience in such matters now appar-
entity sadly lacking-Chicago Tribune.

Starting a Blackberry Patch.

New paintings Of blackberries
should be made just as soon as the
ground is free from frost and dry
enough to work with. Plant the cut
tings in rows. three feet apart in the
row, and have the rows from six to
eight feet apart. Remember that
blackberries multiply and form a solid
row OF canes in a comparatively short
time, hence do not plant too thickly.
Blackberries will grow in almost
any soil, but 1t must not be too dry
location, as they require good deal
Of water or the fruit will be dry and
pithy.
They seem to do better in mod
erately good soil than in a very rich
one, as excessive feeding produces
stalks and leaves instead of fruit.
The seed bed should be well pre-
pared and leveled before putting in
the cuttings. In setting. be sure to
get the earth firm about the cuttings,
and water occasionally during the
first month.
Blackberries will need some cultiva-
ton, particularly during the first
year. A good plan is to grow low
garden crops between the rows and
give them ordinary vegetable cultiva-
ton. This will make the ground yield
two crops for one cultivation.
Do not allow the berry rows to
spread more than two feet wide. They
will form a solid mass unless kept
down between the rows.
Prune in the fall or winter by re-
moving all Of the old stalks, cutting
them OF at the ground Cut back the
new wood a half with the pruning
shears. This causes the formation OF
fruit buds instead of wood and ledves.
There are q rather large number of
good varieties to select from and your
scotsman will be glad to advise you
regarding which to plant. Early bear
ing varieties like Early Harvest and
Snyder do excellently in northern lat
itudes as we'll as in the south. e.
dorado is an old standby with small
fruit farmers and It is not subject to
the parasitic disease known az black
berry cane rust. This disease is hard
to overcome and the best cure is to
cut out all infected canes as soon as
the rusty spots are noticed.
Blackberries are hardy and bear
every year. The fruit is delicious
either preserved or fresh, and 1t can
be made into excellent wine or cor
dial.
On O larger scale one can count on
selling at least an average Of 5000
worth Of berries yearly per acre, and
often as high as $500 to $500 worth,
The expense Of cultivation and pick
ing running about $50 per acre. This
offers an excellent proposition to the
suburbanite with n few acres.
