Weldon Meadow Notes
(By A. H. Metier.)

Some one has said, if you have
found good thing pass it on to your
neighbor that the country may be
benefited. ~ 49,.
have found that having the place
fenced with woven wire hog tight is
not only handy but is bfth economi-
cal and profitable.
In seeding down to either meadow
or pasture it pays to SOW two or
three pounds of alsike clover seed
along with the timothy and common
red clover.
Last fall was my third of hogging
down corn. When corn is just past
roasting ear stage, turn in spring
shoats (not old hogs), and let them
have the run of the field and to
pasture and water and they will do
fine and you save the expense of
handling the corn twice.
Last spring U912) l drilled a
peck of alfalfa seed with one and
one-fourth bushels of oats to the
acre on three acres of good, rich,
we'll prepared ground about the goth
of April, got forty bushels of oats
per acre, cut oats ten inches high.
In three weeks after the cut, cut the
oats stubble and alfalfa four inches
high. The alfalfa made some hog
pasture in September and October.
it now looks fine and I am very anx-
ious to know how it will pan out
this season and for the next several.

Both of these animals are out of
Imported Jacks and are exceptional

state that this is the best pair of
Jacks ever brought to Decatur coun-

good price.

pronounced sound, but certificate

by no means exhausted with the men
tiOn Of cooperative selling and buying
organizations and manufacturing en-
terpriscs. Many other forms of CO.
operation have been tried out, either in
a large or a small way, and have given
gratifying results. one of the new
est departures in thai direction is in
the use Of an electric vacuum %cleaner.
A half-dOZen housewives each felt the
need Of such a cleaner, but neither
Of them was able to own one herself.
Therefore they agreed to pool inter
estS and buy one on the cooperative
basis. They bought it, and with it
bought a boys little express wagon.
Each one of the six women now has
the cleaner one day in the week. 1t is
moved from house to hous by a boy.
and In this way they are able to have
all the comforts of the ownership of
a good vacuum cleaner at the price
Of a very indifferent one.
1t has been proposed hat co-opera-
ton be applied to cooking by city
housewives. knowing thai there is
but little more trouble and expense at
tachcd to cooking for two families in
stead of one. it has been proposed that
a dozen families go together, hire one
good cook and the necessary helpers,
and equip a community kitchen, from
which the meals could be served to the
supporting families at cost. OF course,
no form of corporation would be in
greater danger of failing thar this one.
Tastes of families. however close their
relationships, are bound to differ, and
unless the cooperative kitchen could
furnish different sorts of meals to diff

to fail. And the savings of co-opera-

Endorsement of the proposition laid
down in the preamble of the national
progressive platform of 1912, 1T is
time to set the public welfare in the
first place. The progressive conten-
ton that the constitution Of the
United States should be construed for
the highest welfare of the whole peo-
pie receives this striking Endorsement:
Our dual form of government has
its perpleXities, state and nation nav
ing different spheres of jurisdiction,
as we have said, but it must be kept
in mind that we are one people, and
the powers reserved to the state and
those conferred on the nation are
adapted to be exercised, whether in
dependently or concurrently, to pro-
mote the general welfare, material
and moral"
The opinion declares that the power
of the federal government to regulate
interstate commerce is absolutely I'M
qualified and congress may adopt any
means to exercise it, "and the means
may have the quality Of police regu-
lations."
There is a striking Endorsement in
lii dSLiol DN Lie supreme NouIt vi
the position taken by former Senator
Albert ]. Beveridge of Indiana in his
child labor bill many years & That
bill was based upon the principle of
the federal power now specifically up
held by the high court. At the time
Senator Beveridge was struggling for
his measure, the tory old guard lead
ers in the senate scoffed and jeercd at
the contention that such a proposition
was constitutional. They had full
sway in the senate then n the only
thing Senator Beveridge vas BILE to
accomplish by his vigorous fight was
to get himself squarely on record as
being not only right in his construc"
ton of the constitution and in his in
depreciation of the powers of congress.
but also many years in advance of his
tory colleagues in recognition of the
true general welfare and it's needs.
No more striking and effective in
dorsement of the public stand taken
by Colonel Roosevelt and Senator
Beveridge can be found than in the
unanimous opinion of the supreme
court of the United States or this
most important question of the day.

DECISION
PROGRESSIVE
TWILIGHT ZONE" Between
STATE AND FEDERAL POWER
is ABOLISHED.

Washington, March 2.-The supreme
court of the United States has
marched clear up to the flag. In what
is undoubtedly the most progressive
opinion it has ever Acknowledgements
ing the federal statute against the
white slave traffic-the court defines
the powers Of the federal government
in dealing with the various phases Of
interstate m and, in doing SO,
practically takes a stand alongside
that Of Colonel Roosevelt in his ad-
dresses on The New Nationalism" of
three a ago. The decision, which
was unanimous, not only makes posi-
bic federal and state corporation in
dealing with the infamous white slave
traffic, but is of much more far
reaching Importance because of the
progressive principles which it JUS
tains.
In numerous public addresses, Colo
mel Roosevelt has inveighed against
what he termed the twilight zone
between federal n state authority,
saying that unfortunately the courts
have tended by q series of
llS6dtiRS uSSlSloilo W S1GdtC a SPACAS
in which neither nation or state has
effective control; and where the great
business interests that can call to
their aid the ability of the greatest
corporation lawyers escape all control
Whatsoever."
The decision in the white slave case
to the country, in effect,
that there need be no twilight zone
between federal and state authority,
and points out that it is the duty Of he
nation to assist the states in enforcing
laws by exercising the powers which
it has to control beyond the limits Of
state jurisdiction. In other words, If
a twilight zone" exists, it is the fault
of congress for failing to exercise the
powers the ~undoubted possession of
which is pointed out in this remark
able opinion.
There is unquestionably a control
in the states over the morals of their
citizens says the opinion, which was
delivered by Justice McKenna. 1T is
a control, however. which ear be eX-
ercised only within the jurisdiction of
the states; but there is a domain
which the states cannot reach n
over which congress alone has power.
And if such a power be eXerted to
what the states cannot, it is
an argument for, not against, its le-
gality."
The opinion goes on with a square

THE COAL-LAND BATTLE.

Scheduled for trial before Judge
Lands in the United States court in
Chicago, today, is the hearing Of the
men who are charged with completely
ia the Alaskan coaI-Iand frauds. The
value of the coal lands involved in the
case is estimated at ten millions, the
men accused have become known the
country over by the prominence which
has been given the case. Some of
them are well known in this region by
reason of their former residence in
Spokane and in the Occur d'Alenc dis
trict. The case will attract general at
tention, ever in the face of important
counter-attractions. one interesting
incident is the long jaunt which one
OF the witnesses, former Marshal
Whittlesey, has made to be present at
the trial. He started from Seward,
Alaska, and rode nearly two hundred
miles on Il dog sledge; then he had to
travel nearly four thousand miles by
rail. If a member of the legislature
could draw that mileage, how happy
he would be.
