been conducting what may be termed
psychological discussions of the now no.
torious case. Burns has been quoted as
saying this and Burns has been quoted
as saying that Burns opinions have
been peddled most freely, as if Burns
were court of justice in himself. One
might have inferred even that Burns
was the court of final appeal, the sole
custodian of the liberties of the public.
To our way of thinking, too much EN-
phasis has been laid on statements made
BY men OF his occupation and at man
ifestly improper time just as the public
opinion was preparing itself for the pos
sible second hearing of the crime in a
real court of justice. 1t was almost
an attempted usurpation of the judicial
function which lies in the courts them
selves. Such business should be stopped,
if we hope to have calm, judicial con-
sideration of the innocence or guilt of
accused parties under the present system
of the courts. The detective should be
relegated to his proper position. Let the
the detective present his evidence in due
course of procedure. Let the courts de-
eide.

CURRENT COMMENT
The Pistol Habit.

The shooting of promising young
newsboy who was working with effec-
tiveness to place for himself in the
world, in the face OF serious physical
handicap, emphasizes anew the reckless
way in which we Americans permit the
use of the pistol. Crazy men may shoot
at mayors, like Gaynor and Mitchell
killing as one did Mayor Carter Harri-
son OF Chicago, and other officers up
and down the line. And we tolerate 1T.
The number of lives that 90 out every
year by reason of the pistol in irrespon-
sible hands has become a national dis
grace. What are we going to do about
it?
Not much can be accomplished by
Regulating" the sale OF the pistol.
What guarantee is there that its pur-
chaser will remain sane and solvent
What guarantee is there that he will
not have it stolen from him, or sell it,
or otherwise let it get into irresponsible
hands? No amount of certificates at
tending the original transfer will suf-
fee to guard against these liabilities.
1t is possible that we could have an
annual license system which might ac-
complish results. Suppose no one was
allowed to own pistol without Ii
cense, renewed annually from the state,
and that the list was at all times pub
lie property? Applicants for a place on
it might be required to secure local en-
dorsement. May not this be the way
out? If so, here would be a chance for
uniformity of state policies. Boston

The cordial expressions of interest and
proffers of support which have come to
John w. Gordon in his candidacy for the
seat in Congress, to be vacated by Rep
resentative Frank Plumley must be very
gratifying to him, as they are calculated
to lend encouragement in the campaign
upon which he has started. Those ex-
pressions and proffers have come from
many sections of the second congression-
al district. from the north and the south,
as well as from the central part, showing
that Mr.. Gordon is not sectional can
didate by any means but that he is like
ly to receive support from all parts of
the district. At the same time it is to
be expected, of course, that the greatest
soiidity for his candidacy would be found
in that section of the district in which
he resides and in which most of his bus
mess and professional activities have
been conferred. For that reason it is
hoped and expected that Washington
county will give him its solid support
for the nomination and election.

THE BUSINESS
FARMERS CORNER
THE VEGETABLE GARDEN
How Can We Afford to Be Without 1t?
E. PARKER

L. PARKER
There is an important economical side
to this question of garden. Beef, for
instance, in its various forms is notori-
ously expensive, especially where it il
eaten twice or three times day, where
as beans, peas, spinach, ETC., when
served with meat would make up half
the amount eaten, thus reducing the
cash cost of the whole. And the impress
sion that vegetable garden requires
much time and care is such an errone-
GUS onel Two or three hours a week
viii suffice for garden $50 x 100 feet,
which is capable of producing fruit and
vegetables enough for family of six,
provided the rows are three feet apart
so that a horse may be used.
Laying Out the Garden.
In laying out such garden the rows
should be run north and south, for
planted thus vegetables receive the
greatest amount Of sun. The first four
rows should be six feet apart, and the
first of these might contain twelve
currant and twelve gooseberry bushes
set six feet apart. In the second row
plant hundred raspberry canes three
feet apart, with two canes at each place.
The third row will be for strawberries
and will hold $50 plants grown in hills
set one foot apart, no runners being al
lowed to grow. The next thirteen rows
will be three feet apart and may be
planted to the following vegetables in
the order given; Asparagus plants,
fifty one-year seedlings, set three feet
apart in the row; parsnips, fifty feet
then a hundred feet of onions, of which
twenty five feet may be young sets for
early summer; beets and lettuce, fifty
feet; early cabbage, hundred feet
late cabbage, hundred feet; caulihow-
er, fifty feet; peas, three full rows;
corn, four full rows; tomatoes, hun
bred feet; beans, fifty feet; okra, ten
feet; then fifty feet more of string
beans and 100 feet of dwarf lima beans.
The remaining four rows should be
eight feet apart to allow the vines to
spread. In the first row plant twenty
five muskmelons six feet apart, then a
row of cucumbers set six feet apart,
five eggplants and ten early squash, all
six feet apart. The next row may be
planted to eight Hubbard squash and
twelve rhubarb plants. set six feet
apart, and the last two rows may very
properly be given over to herbs and
flowers for cutting.
1t is frequently forgotten that a great
many people abroad, notably the draw
ers of water and hewers of wood, live
almost entirely on vegetables, consider
ing meat luxury only to be INDUCED in
once week, while we in America, hav-
ing the most delicious and greatest vari-
ETY. OF vegetables grown anywhere, dis.
card them for meat.
