The time of planting is almost here,
for the same rule of pruning in the
fall applies also to the setting of the

there are varieties of the dark colored
sort that are equal to it in quality and
fruit production-among the leading
being Lasalle, Meisch and James,

THE SCANDAL BEHIND THAW.

Nobody is eve, surprised tE:-t Thaw got out of
Mateawan. The only surprise of anybody is that
he had to break out. 1t has been generally expected
ton for every possible form of corruption would
arrange to have the young maniac freed.
The public really has taken il for granted that the
Thaw millions would be so used. If the public hadn't
taken this for granted-and if public officials follow
ing that lead hadn't also taken it for granted-Thaw
wouldn't be at large today. For if the public had
really felt about this and other cases as it is
supposed TO feel but doesn't the Thaw millions
wouldn't have been in the open business of trying
to buy everybody and everything standing between the
young degenerate and his liberty, from courts and
juries down to constables and turnkeys.
Has anybody ever heard of officials trying to
STOP the corrupt efforts to get Thaw released by
going back of the tools and agents of those contract
ing for the jobs and paying the price? Has anybody
heard that any of those people have been warned
that they must not do such things or they might find
themselves in the hands of the law?
On the contrary, everybody has taken for granted
that it was perfectly natural for those in control of
the millions to use them in every possible way to
cheat the law.
Everybody says or assumes that its perfectly
natural for father or mother or brother to want to
get out of the clutches of the law who ought to
them? Is it natural for the public to tolerate govern
ment that does let them?
Government does let them and that thing is toler-
ated by the public along with such things as syndical
ism, sabotage, and anarchy.

Now comes the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company to take a fall out of
women's styles.
High heels and hobbies are held to
be responsible for the increasing num-
ber of accidents. and. as a result of an
Instruction sheet just received in Wash
ington. trainmen are studying up in
arithmetic in order to make accurate
calculations as to the wheel base of a
skirt.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
proposes to take no chances. Trainmen
must report every detail If an accident
occurs, and must submit a slightly
more comprehensive description than
Mr.. Finnegan's well-known on Agin;
On Agin."
While conceding that accidents are
distressing and womens styles ditto,
other traffic officials in Washington
challenge the fact that high heels and
hobbies are causing any great stir in
the railroad world.
Here's the situation:
"A large proportion of the injuries
suffered by women while getting on
and off trains" solemnly declares the
pink sheet received by Washington of
the Pennsy officials, is caused by high
heels AMI kohble skirts.

THE MASSACHUSETTS REPUBLICANS.

Massachusetts has the feeling that its versatile

The leading candidate avowedly making the fight

he didn't progress much issues of policy and pro-
gram. Therefore he got in bad grace with the old
Republican machine, without making himself figure
among progressves. Mr. Gardner is not unlike that
other Bay State intellectual in politics, Mr.. Mccall
he has courage enough to fight at times but very
impressive notion of any substantive thing he wants
to get by fighting for it. Altogether, the attitudes

SENATOR TILLMANs CONTRAST.

/ Grieying over antcipatons of wrecked insttu
tons and crumbng society, to result from the
extension of suffrage to the women, Senator Iillman
draws picture of South Carolna's ideal moral and
social conditions, and contrasts it with the awful
degeneracy into which California has fallen. 1t is
touching picture, and illustrates what wonders the
human intellect can perform. Diggs-Caminettl
case in California the Senator finds available 10 Illus
trate the degeneracy of a community where women
vote: mob law and unwrtten law in South Carolina
are the perfectng touches on his picture of splendid
and elevating social condition!
Scr the nonce, honors seem fairly distributed
among the leaders in the great rescue work that would
save us from devastating woman. Mr.. Hein, Senate!
Tillman and the press agents of the antl-suHrage
society have done about equal service to the suffrage
cause The Senator the record to date is perhaps
a nose in the lead If now he would come along and
show us what glorious patriot is Cole Blease, and
what an unhung traitor is Hiram Johnson-an
achievement that ought not to saggershim after his

THE ULTIMATUM THAT DIDN'T COME.

Today's news dispatches fatty and categorically
deny that there any authority whatever for the
story from the City of Mexico that Huerta had sent
an utmatum to Washington demanding immediate
recognition of the Huerta government. The amazing
story which suggested that sheer madness had taken
possession of the Mexican administration, merely was
not true. The manner of its outgiving justified the
universal publication of it even in the face of its
seeming impossibility: What could be expected OF a
government established as was this of Huerta?
1t is yet quite clear how the story originated.
Was it put out as feeler, with the intention Of
denying and repudiahng it after it had served the
purpose of drawing forth some expression as to the
attitude Washington and Europe would take toward
such bold bluff? If it was, it will carry little
of satisfaction to the men back of the experiment.
Such move would mean the utter enforcement of
all diplomatic relations, and doubtless would be
Immediately followed by such recognition of the cor
stitutionast insurgents would permit them the full
privilege of importing arms and munitions. That
would almost certainly bring matters soon to crisis
in which Huerta would fall.
If the ultimatum canard did not originate in this
way then it must be attributed to a condition of
divided counses and utter responsibility within the
Huerta administration, that is quite as alarming as any
earlier demonstration of the nearness to>anarchy in
the Mexican capital itself. If Huera cannot or does
not choose control his ntates and advisers to the

THE GREAT UNKNOWN PACIFIC.

Geolog sts and astronomers-some of them, any
how-tell us that when the moon was tossed off from
the earth and sent on career of semi-independence
the mass of matter of which it is composed came from
what is now the bed of the Pacific ocean. That story
is good enough to suggest the mmensty of the broad
Pacific The world even today knows wondrous little
about that mighty ocean. Unbound, uncharted, and
unclaimed iSets yet dot its surface Sometimes they
sink beneath il, sometimes new are raised atroy1
ii. Navigation of its vast eXpanse was till recent
time the climax of adventure or the accident of
unfortunates who were blown away from coastwse
courses In historic times there are a number of
authenticated instances of Japanese and Chinese
junks being swept across the Pacific to North Amer
can shores; and the favored explanation of the
Indians origin is drawn from these mischances,
coupled with parallels in language and physical char
acteristics between the American aborgine and some
Asian tribes.
Small wonder then that courses are imperfecty
charted and that even in the comparatively familiar
waters off Alaska steamship established line
Of trade crashes into unknown reef and is sent to
the bottom The fate of the State of California, off
Juneau is a smaller scale wondrousy like that of
the Titanic. But it suggests a different condition.
The Pacific is going to be the avenue of rapidly
increasing commerce; more and more ships will sail
its blue waters with every year from the opening
of the Panama canal. More and more the dangers
of its rocks and reefs and hurricanes will be revealed
by such experiences as this of the Pacific Coast
Company's unfortunate steamship.
Oceanographc surveys have made the Atlantic
thoroughly known. For such detailed knowledge of
the Pacific there has been no such imminent need,
and the task of getting has been found immense
that comparatively much less progress has been made
An international systematic survey and chartng of
the Pacific would be most timely enterprise for the
civilized world just at this juncture.

MAKING THE ISSUE PLAIN.

An the Republican Congressman from Illinois who
were defeated last autumn, including, it is said
former Speaker Cannon, will be candidates for elec
ton again next year.
Let's see: Cannon, Mckinley, Rodenberg, Prince
Foss and the rest-they certainly would give Illinois
a good, square chance to decide whether it really
preferred to be reactionary or not The Democratic
Candidates and the Democratic legislation at Wash,
ihgton would hardly be in issue at all.
: Such luck for the Illinois Democrats and Pro,
gFessves is hardly to be expected.
