TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Seasoning the Work Horse.

Farmers should beware of putting
horses into heavy spring work too alb
ruptly. After winter of partial idle
ness the animals are untitled for hard
labor and should be put to work grad
ually. A little seasoning In advance
always pays
The farmer should not forget that
when heavy work begins the horses
should have an increase of feed. II
the winter the work horse received 9
ration of hay. with two or three ears
OF corn three times day. Now he
will need more grain. with same allow
ance OF hay. A gallon OF oats added
b the corn will be better than doubling
the feed Of corn. Oats are not SO heat-
ing and serve as laxative In fact. a
work team will do better on oats az n
ration thanf on any other one grain
ration. Corn gives strength. and for
that reason ii Is well to feed little
The work horse should have free &C
cess to salt. as In the spring he sweats
great deal and consequently CON
sumes more salt than when idle.

Police departments all over the
world are using the finger print sys-
tenn of Identification. Tooth prints
may be used as n supplementary aid
IL the following story from Paris in
the London Express is to be believed:
"A burglar was arrested and proved
guilty because of his fondness for but
ter. He broke into house In the
Rue Danton and before leaving it with
stolen bicycle and other property
ate some food. He had bitten into a
large pat of butter. on which his fin
ger prints and the print of eighteen
teeth-one of which is hroken-were
So clearly marked that when the man
was arrested a detective made him
bite into another pat Of butter and
proved his guilt"

II has been announced from Al
bany. N. Y. that there is an open
rupture between Governor Sulzer
and Charles +. Murphy. the leader
of Tammany, which is not surpris-
ing. Murphy, as other leaders of
Tammany. has attempted TO dictate
the political policy which Sulzer
shall follow in Legislation and in the
distribution OF patronage. Indeed,
Murphy has gone the limit by di-
recting the course legislators under
his course shall follow. In such
proceedings legislation has been
checked, but Governor Sulzer has
been equally positive in the main
tanning of his prerogatives and has
not only defied the Tammanyite hut
he has given Murphy to understand
that he has for his guide the PLAN
dictates OF duty.
This attempt at dictation is the
supreme of insoleRce, and it is
gratifying to realize that Murphy
has to deal with man who is be-
yond his sinister influence and con-
troll.
In severing all connection with
this boss OF New York City, Gov
ernor Sulxer will strengthen HIM
self in the confidence and esteem
of the people.
II was Charles +. Murphy who
sought 10 defeat the nomination of
Woodrow Wilson for The presiden-
cy. II was this boss who figuratively
was annihilated by the gallant and
intrepid Bryan. 1t is about time
that men of the Murphy stamp
should be eliminated from honest
politics.
Without patronage from the State
Murphy will be very small potato
in politics with very few in the hill.
II is Democracy's duty to get rid
Of the Murphyites and the sooner
the better.

The unheaval.

Cairo has reached crisis in its
political career. Hundreds of voters
have become wearied with ward
politics and they also are tired oi
one-man rule. Time will come when
these men, with hundreds of Others
who are qualified to vote, viii arise
and crush their oppressors into OBJ
livion, and, let us hope, this day ~
not far removed
Time was when the ward heelers
and bosses could put over almost
anything and get away with r..
They had a majority of vbters blum
ed into abject submission and amons
their victims were scores OF success
full business men, who permitted
fear, instead of intel igence, to die
tate the marking of their ballots.
The gang still holds sway and is
able to work its bluff to a good ad
vantage, but it does not possess the
same power that 1t did in former
times. The men who heretofore
submitted to the gang are gaining in
courage and they soon will be able
to strike back in a telling manner
The illiterate negro vote has been
a great handicap. 1t has been sold
to the highest bidder and in sutfi
cient numbers to put over nearly
any candidate, so long as the gang
he'd enough Of the white voters in
their power. The grip on the white
vote is slipping and even the ne
groes are beginning to think more
for themselves.
The decent element, regardless OF
political faith or color, can reject
the gang whenever they get ready
They can do it next April If they
will put up strong candidates, but
so long as the voters find 1t neees
sary to chose between the lesser ol
two evils as has been the case al
many recent elections, the gang vii
continue to rule.
A one-man, gang-ruled town car
