SENATOR JAMES a. O'GORMAN.
with that privilege The defeat of the
Jones bill giving entire control to the
Islanders within eight years is assured
Senator OGorman who is opposed to
fixing any definite time for giving he
EilipinOs Il free hand. takes the view
that they may not he equal to the task
longer. AS the senator from New York
is close to Governor Wilson. it may be
assumed that he has so advised the
president elect. The granting of indie
pendence to the Philippines is of SO
little urgency that the question will
not even be taken up by the senate at
the Forthcoming speriaI session of con
gress. according to Senator Ottoman.
Senator Simmons, who probably will
be chairman OF the committee on
finance: Senator Martin and other
Democratic senators more than
enough to prevent ovcrturnins the

affairs of the Philippines are inclined
to oppose the Jones bill Only II few
Democrats. such as Senator Johnston.
favor giving the Philippines independ
ence ut once.
Others. like Senator Gore and Sena
tor Stone. say thai the islands should
be neutraiZed ii that could be accom-
plished. remaining under the protec
ton OF the United States. before any
step in the direction OF autonomy is
taken But the more conservative
view that it is best to wait until the
educational work undertaken by the
United Stntes has shown it's effect
seems to prevail generally.
The Jones bill granting the islands
an independent government within
eight years is so far from the minds
Of Democratic senators that few. have
considered the question at all.
Senator Williams. who was one OF
the originntors OF the so called
'bridye government" for the gradual
REIMBURSEMENT Of control over the is
lands. expressed the opinion that the
time fixed should not be less than
eight years and that the United States
should retain Il certain control over the
relations of the island with foreign
governments by the appointment OF
an American secretary for foreign af
fairs. who should be responsible to the
state department in Washington. and
that the granting of independence
should not take place for much
longer time than eight years, certainly
not less than fifteen.
Senator Martin took the ground that
there is no immediate necessity for
taking up the Philippine question now
He thought that the Jones bill allowed
too short time for the transition.
In view of the attitude of the leaders
in the senate. which undoubtedly has
been made known to Governor Wilson
it is not probable that either the ex
ecutive or Legislative department afte,
March 4 will take amy step toward
abandoning the control of the United
States over the Philippines. which. as
President Taft said. is SO necessary to
their own we'll being.

vast Improvement over present condi-

There is considerable sense in the
theory; but it is like all police organi-
cation much dependent upon the ap
pointive powers and the character of
those who govern policemen or police
women. The character Of the force
from the chief down is the test Of its
efficiency. The question comes up
would a grating administration find
policewomen as ready to Its purposes
as policemen? Probably. Women are
not elementally different from men
SO far as easy money and keeping

Poultry Notas.

A coat of whitewash in the poultry
house adds both beauty and profit.
A little good poultry tonic, giver
occasionally with feed. will help tc
keep your flock healthy and strong.
A small flock of well-kept. young
hens, on the farm. will be found
much more profitable than a large
flock crowded into close quarters
and neglected.
A busting box should be kept ir
the hen house, preferably in sum,
spot Keep full OF dry. black earth
that the chickens may take dus,
bath. They will enjoy it. Change the
contents of the box as often as II
shows signs of filth. Some poultry
raisers find it beneficial to add a
little wood ashes to the dust.
If there are "dumpy" hens, or hens
showing other signs of being out OF
condition, better separate them from
the flock and give little special at
tention to them until their condition
improves, or, if they do not respond
after reasonable length of time, bet
ter get rid Of them. Such procedure
may be the means Of saving your
flock; at least, a sick hen can not be
made to pay for her keep.

The Strawpile
Killing Canada Thistles.

Graduating Canada thistles is main :
~ a question of keeping eNerlastlngiy
at it, AS to just what method should
be used, is a matter of local conVenl-
ence. In small patches a good way Is
simply to go over the patch every ten
days with a hoe, cutting off the th!s-
ties Just below the surface OF the
ground After this has been faithfully
done for year or two, the th!stles VIII
die out. In larger patches. one OF the
most practical methods is to allo"
them 20 flower in June. and NOV them
before they go to seed. Then plow the
ground shallow and SOW to some rank
growing crop, such as m!!let or soF-
ghum. In the fall, either cut this crop
for hay or else plow it under. Seed
to rye or winter wheat in the fall, pas
ture it during the winter and pillow 1t
under in April. The land Gan then be
seeded to corn, provided careful noe
ing is given TO destroy any thisties
which may have escaped from the pre-
,vious season. better method is to
pillow or disk, tbs lanQ every two weeks
till the litter Har1 y June, and the'l
seed again to millet or sorghum. BY
fall the thIstles storfu' be completely
eradicated. This methar has been used
in Illinois with good SUCCESS on land
so badly infested with thistles that II
was good for nothing else.

THING TO SHAKE HANDS OVER

When MarshalltOwn is looking about
for something over which to shake
hands with herself she can always
graduation upon her water supply.
Marshalltown water is as good as
water gets. It needs no chemicals to
destroy the germs Of epidemic disease,
because the germs are not there. How
great distfnguishment this is. may
be better understood by list Of the
cities which find themselves forced to
treat their water chemically in the in
terests Of public safety.
Among the cities which are using the
hypochlorite treatment as a defense
against typhoid in their water supply,
an article favorable TO the use Of that
chemical names Terre Haute, Cedar
Rapids, Montreal, Grants Pass. Ore;
Baudette, Mimi; Nashville, Cincinnati
and Danville. Ill. North Yakima.
Wash; Council Bluffs, Iowa; Cleve-
land, Erie. Pa; Toronto, Baltimore
Evanston, ILL.,, Minneapolis, Omaha
Jersey City and Kansas City, Mo-. are
among the cities where a noteworthy
reduction in typhoid fever has followed
the use of hypochlorite. In Cleveland
for instance, the reported deaths from
typhoid fever in the four years 1907
1911 October to June) numbered, re-
spectively. 46. 50. 81 and 65. In Sep
TENDER. 1911, the hypochlorite treat
ment was begun and for the eight
months, Oct. 1, 1911, to June 1, 1912,
only twenty eight deaths were re-
ported. In Jersey City the average
death rate from typhoid for 1905, 1906
and 1907 was 1875, while for the three
years following the use Of hypochlorite,
1909 1911, it was 96 In Minneapolis
there were thirty-nine deaths in the
ten months before hypochlorite, and
two deaths in the ten months immedi-
ately following it's use.
The thing directly in point is not the
efficacy Of hypochlorite as a proven
tive but the fact that Marshalltown's
water supply is pure and safe and that
other cities do not appear to be SO
blessed. 1t is great asset. 1t rem
ders the city a safe place to live in
for a contaminated or contaminable
water supply is more dangerous than
the bubonic plague.

THE COMMISSION PLAN.

The man who represents Haroln

troduce a bill this session to put all
towns under 1000 population under the
commission form of government
There is little likelihood OF this Dill
ever getting serious consideration at
the hands of the lawmakers, aitho 1t
will give it's originator coolies OF per-
fectly free advertising. and tnat Is
probably what he is after
1t occurs to lis, however, that the
idea is worthy of consideration not
only as regards towns and cities OF
certain size, but also counties.
Isn't it entirely feasible to think that
a few men, who are paid salaries SUIT
ficient to command their entire serv-
ices will do more honest and efficient
work than man, men, who are only
paid enough 20 command a small Eor-
ton of their time and brains, will do =:
Besides. by putting 1t on strictly
husiness-like open and above board
basis the chance for graft is largely
done away with-not that this enters
into Shenandoah or Page county needs.

may still be plenty o. room for i'm :

THIS YEARS JOKE.
Sioux Citv Tribune.

The corporation influences play
tricks with legislatures. 1t is one of
their plays to have some state ques-
ton raised at the beginning of each
legislative session, some matter that
will grow quickly into an issue over
which the newspapers the people and
legislative members can be kept in
dispute and so keep the public atteh-
ton afay from the corporations.
Two years ago at Lincoln they
raised the question of removing the
state capital from Lincoln. Some cor
porations' servant, disguised as a
member of the legislature. there are
out to the newspaper reporters that
his constituents wanted the state cap
ital removed to Grand Island. Another
corporation servant, also diSguiShed
with a membership in the legislative
body. responded to this interview with
an argument for kearney as the most
available place for the permanent To-
cation of the capital.
In d week the capital removal ques-
ton was on every tongue. The people
of Lincoln were scared. The news
papers there were afraid to peep on any
questian that might anger the corpo-
1ations and put their influence behind
the capital removal scheme. The news
papers at Grand Island and at Kear-
ney doomed the removal proposition
and they too laid low on every bill or
measure that was being opposed by
the corporations.
At the end of the session the capital
removal threat turned into joke. and
there was laugh all around at Lin
coins expense, laugh in which the
corporations representatives Joined
heartily while they winked knowingly
at each other.
Now there is another scare on. They
are going to move the state university
with it's 1000 students out into the
country. The railroad, the telephones
and other corporations representa- ives,
some Of them from Omaha, some of
them from Chicago. all good takers,
are discoursing learnedly in the pres
ence Of the legislative members on the
wisdom of putting the university out
On the farm.
It's trick to make the university a
football with which the session can
play and then adjourn without inter
fering any further with the special
privilege interests.
There is bill for municipal owner
ship Of telephones. The telephone men,
1nartered at the hotels. are they talk
ing now against that bill? Not word
It's too soon for that. They are talk
ing about the university. They want
it moved out into the country. They
prove by each other in the hotel lob
bies where they talk that the removal
| of the university is the most important
necessity of the state. This is the
biennial joke on the farm members OF
| the Nebraska legislature.
