WEED SPRAY A SUCCESS.

At the time that Prof. Bollcy de-
veloped the method OF weed spraying
for Ue&5jdcstruction Of weeds in cereal
graain& fields, parks, boulevards, etc, a
good many people especially in Fargo,
laughed2atg the idea. a .Da..
For 4 number of years Prof. Bolley
has been II correspondence with the
MANAGERS OF park systems and railroads
with regard to the use of sprays for
the destruction of weeds. The rail-
roads have particularly benefited by
the method. The following letter will
show a part of the interest the, rail
road men are taking in the work: "'
The .Atchison, Topeka 4 Santa Fc Ry.,
Chief Chemists Office
prof. F. l.. Bolley,
Agricultural College,
Dear sir: wish TO call upon you
for 4 little further information relative
K the Use of sodium arsenite for des-
troying vegetation on the right of way.
You will remember that YOU wrote
me several times three years ago and
sent several bulletins. Two years ago
we treated some fifty miles OF track
in Texas to kill the Johnson grass,
and our best results were obtained
from using at the rate of $50 pounds
OF sodium a~rsenitc and half that quar-
tity of carstic soda to the mile thirteen
feet wide; these chemicals being dis
solved in 20oO gallons of water. Last
year we treated some twenty miles Of
track in Kansas killing the ordinary
weeds using about one-,alf the chemi-
Gals given above. The tests i'll Texas
were quite satisfactory but in Kansas
were not so successful. We apparent
ly killed the vegetation for the first two
or three weeks and then it commenced
to grow as rapidly as ever. We are,
however, going to treat some four
hundred miles OF track this year and
will use the proper amount of chenli-
Gals to do the business.
You have had a large amount Of ex-
perience and | will be greatly obliged
if you will let lis have the benefit Of
it in answer to the following list of
questions. y # 81 4
VIII thank you kindly for a rather
full reply.
Yours turly,
(Signed) w. A. POWER,
Chief Chemist"

who have already been subjected to this
treatment. If they are healed let the

Inn. even though it may have worked
in part through suggestion and the
stimulation OF hope. 1t will matter but
little to the world If tuberculosis is
conquered whether a part of the con-

The main thing to be accomplished is
the discovery Of a means of treating
this disease that will lessen its per

chances of those afflicted by it to re-
gain their health.

SUNDRY CIVIL BILL

The House passed the Sundry Civil
Bill virtually without opposition, al
though it contained the proviso cx-
empting labor unions and farmers OF
CARNATIONS from the equal oocration OF
the Antitrust law. There is no doubt
that the bill will have smooth sailing
through the senate, and the expectation
is general that President Wilson will
sign it. But this lie certainly cannot
do. in dcccncy. without a fill ana pub
lie statement Of his reasons. and G
what he thinks the effect Of the meas
urc will be. This thing has no been
done in I corner. PrcsiGtn. TAFT vet

dafcnsih.c nature OF su:tl legislation.
He pointed out the strong presumption
that such an exemption, if enacted as
a separate law. would be held %unconsti-
tutional. 4 similar statute was once
enacted by Illinois. but was declared
invalid by the Supreme Court on the
ground that it violated the constitu-
tional guarantee Of the equal protection,
OF the laws. 'AIr. TAFT also indicated
with much force the elusive nature
OF the language used in the rider, which
though fair sounding, might easily be
made to justify the most wicked and
cruel acts by labor unions. There have
been reports that the phrascology was
to be changed in the present bill, $
as to reserve to the attorney general
the right to prosecute in his discrc-
ton. But in fact, the clauses stand
exactly in the words used before. Prcsi-
dent Wilson must be fully aware of
the powerful objection to the whole
proceeding and if he does decide to
accept the bill. the least that he can
do is to set forth a defense of his
course, or get Attorney General Nc
Reynolds to state what will be the prac-
teal effect in the matter of enforcing
the Antitrust law. To sign the bill
and say nothing about it would seri-
ously %injurc President Wilson will,

THE TUBERCULOSIS TREATMENT

Ii is reported that DR.. l'ricdma,nl Of
fcrs to submit his turtle serum for the
cure OF tuberculosis to a test which is
designed to meet the criticism that the
initial Improvement shown in cases
where treatment has been administered
is due to the psychological effect upon
the patients and not to any physlolo-
gical influence OF the remedy itself. To
meet this assertion DR.. Friedman pro-
poses to select five of ten patients to
be treated with the serum itself and
the other five with plain water. and he
declares his entire confidence that at
the end of a given period the actually
treated patients will be improved, while
the others will show no gain whatever.
This will be an interesting but a
rather cruel mode OF testing the
psychological effect OF the treatment.
That the mere fact OF being treated by
a supposedly efficacious remedy has a
stimulating effect upon the spirits and
indeed the health itself of patients is
not denied by physicians. This partic-
ular disease is marked by the optimism
OF those who suffer from it and that
optimism is undoubtedly a large factor
in ~prolonging lie. But the mere water
treatment, even if continued. could
hardly be expected to yield any per-
manent results in the healing OF LESSONS
OF the lung tissue. II morbidity OF
temperament were a feature of the di-
sease and the thought Of treatment
would bring about a change i'll spirit
these inocuous doses might perhaps be
continued helpfully.
1t would be decidedly unfair for
those chosen for the negative demon
STATIONS thus to discriminate between
patients selected for tests. Far more
important would it be to continue the

SIGNS OF A DEMOCRATIC REVOLT

ii lIlc uclilOSldtS pdltS VIII l'ot
protect our interests the republican
party WILL declare some Of the Lotilsi-
ana democratic leaders, in referring / o
the assaults made on sugar, lumber,
rice, cotton, and other leading products
OF their state locality. Is there any
thing in this threat. Probably not Sc
much as its authors would like to have
the country believe. The country has
heard assertions OF this sort made be-
fore. In the face OF this very action,
which wa virtually promised by the
Baltimore platform in 1912. Louisiana
gave a vote OF 81 500 to Wilson in
that year. as compared with one OF
1000 to Taft, the protcctiOniSt poll III
that state, as compared with that OF
low tariff or no tariff, would be so
small as to be negligible. Every one
OF L,ouisiana's delegation in boil,
branches Of Congress is a democrat.
But s0me Of the Louisiana leaders
tell us that the threats Of a rising this
time are real. They have a better basis
to work upon that they did in the past.
The assault against the southern pro-
ducts by the Underwood bill is more
widely extended than it was in any for
nlcr measure. Moreover this one is in
stigatcd largely by the president hirh-
self. The president is taking a per-
sona1 part in the fight against products
on which the prosperity OF Loui5ianl
and the rest Of the south rests. T'IcT
declare that 4 people who would neglect
or refuse to defend their wv interests
deserve al 1.-The punishment which the
Underwood bill, if enacted in its pres
cnt form, would give them. MI of
~;!lich is true. But will this spirit reg
lister itself in the politics Of l9ll, as
its opponents say it will, that being the
wear in which the new Congress will
be chosen, to serve during the second
half Of President Wilson, term? Pos
sibly there will be al exhibition oi p,lb-
lie spirit and courage this time
We are told by some Of these insur-
%rectionary democrats that the ~rcpuA'i-
cans expect to make much party capital
ont OF the democratic revolt. livery
body, of course looks for a iurch
against the democratic party i'll The
election ncxt year, but viii It be scrl-
Gus enough to take the House away
from Wilson? A I.,ic light on this
point will be given by tie sort of a
tariff bill which gets on the statute
books. II the measure carries its pres
cnt Objectionable provisions there would
seem to be an excellent chance for
a republican victory next year. While
the republican, under normal conditions
is the country's biggest party. it is not
big enough to win when cut in the mi
die. The result in the eastern Massa-
chusctts congressional district is not
necessarily %symtomatic Of the temper
OF the cntirc country on the tariff ISSUE.
1t would be folly to attempt to show
that the sentiment of that small mani
ufauuring district, which wants cheap
raw materials for its mills. gives any
indication of the sentiment of vast re-
gions like Louisiana and some Of its
n%eighborS, which sec ruin to their prin-
cipal interests in the tariff bill in its
present shapc.-St. Louis Globc-Dcmo-
