"CRITICISE WILSON WITH
OUT DELAY"

We are told in the press dispatch
that ROOsevelt's supporters are urg-
ing him to take issue with President
Wilson and attack the latter's policies
at once. 1t is pointed out that the pro-
gressives should beat the republicans
10 it in such attacks-for political eff
feet
IL is announced further that Roose-
welt may openly criticise Wilson's
policies without further delay-for po-
litical effect.
What a beautiful spectacle. What
a fine commentary on American politi-
cal Institutions The twice president
of the United States, who deserted the
party that had twice elected him in his
eagerness to again occupy the Office,
despite his solemn promise that he
would never again strive for it, is held
up as the public critic of an existing
administration, right or wrong. Lose
no time in criticising Wilson, say the
progressiyes to this envious critic who
needs no admonition along this line.
Ready always to assail those who diff
fer with him, sparing not the president
OF the United States. and yet having
termed all who dared to comment ad-
versely on his own policies while he
was president, "mendacious SANDER
ers and liars" he is now to take upon
himself the task of critic of the
president
And all this that Roosevelt may
again be president The progressives,
anxious TO beat the republicans to the
job of attacking Wilson and then put
their idol in line in 1916, have the
nerve 10 expect that the "only one"
viii then receive the endorsement of
the party which, in the furtherance of
selfish ambition, he did not hesitate to

fiammatory methods to take q prom
inent part in one.
Without knowing the manner OF man
Mr. Patmont. the fate which he claims
overlook him is an indication that his
campaign against the saloon tended
to provoke violence rather than TO APP
peal TO calm Judgment. Otherwise, IL
is scarcely possible that the method of
suppressing him which he claims was
employed would have been resorted TO.
On the other side. IL is patent that
none but fools or fanatics would go to
such lengths in trying to further the
liquor cause. Any sane person should
have known that such acts would in
time be exposed and that the reaction
would Offset the temporary advantage
gained. while the prospects would be
excellent for some one TO feel the
weight of the law.
The "drys" owe Il to their cause to
keep out OF campaigns those whose
words and acts inhame, rather than
convince, while the vets should IN
their own interest discourage violence
with every means at their command.
The question Is one which calls for
calm, sober judgment on the part OF
the people OF every community and
personal feeling and class prejudice can
only serve to delay a proper and per-
manent solution.
Here in Rock Island we have a few
scars left from the recent campaign
and probably we shall carry some of
them till the question is again up for
a vote Fortunately We had no such
outbreak here as took place in Yer
million county. but we owe our escape |
rather to good luck than to good judg- |
ment.

Lawn Grass Should be Cut Long

Grass should be cut "long" so that
the roots will be protected after the
cutting. This means. says the depart
ment OF agriculture's landscape gar
dener, that the lawn mower should be
set Just as high as it will go.
Lawns should be cut frequently and
in ordinary cases where the cuttings
are normal they should be left where
they fall, Notwithstanding the contrary
opinion OF the energetic person who
follows up his cuttings by raking with
an iron rake. Lawns should never be
raked with an iron rake, except to
prepare them for the sowing of grass
seed, for such raking harrows up the
soil Neither should they be swept.
If the diligent care-taker of a lawn
must follow up the cutting by some
other operation, only a wooden rake

CAPITAL Comment
BY CLYDE II. TAVENNER
Congressman from the Fourteenth District

Total farm debt, $500. 100000. Av.
erage interest rate. Z 7-s per cent. Av-
erage interest paid per farm, SIT. Net
income left, $40.
Average farm investment, S6,443.
Allowing FIVE per cent interest on in
vestment, the farmer gets s153 for his
years labor. From this he must buy
his clothes. Allow minimum wages for
the labor of his wife and children. and
the farmer gets nothing at all for his
own labor.
These, of course, are averages, and
averages, are not very reliable in de-
scribing the general condition of farm
ing. Averages mean that some farm
ers are very prosperous, while others
fall below the averages. and are fail
ures.
Mr.. Huling wonders why anybody
stays on the farm in the face OF these
figures. The answer Is simple. 1t
needs only the averages for other &C.
equations to show why the farmer in
spite of his struggle, has an enviable
lot.
There are plenty of figures to show
far more numerous than those in farm
ing. The average farmer gets a net
income nearly equal to the average
wage paid in the industries of the
country. But the farmer gets his
house and his food in addition to this
income, while the wage workers must
pay for their house and food out of
their income
Above all. the farmers house and
food are secure, depending only upon
his willingness to work. Whereas the
laborer, though willing to work, may
be thrown out of employment.
The plain fact is that all of us, on
the average, receive living and moth
ing else for our work. The vast ma
iority get a bare living for piling up
wealth for few who through privi- |
leges of one sort or another are in the |
positions of power. The farmer is rel |
atively the most fortunate of work
ers.

should be used, and this should be
employed carefully so as not to disturb
such of the grass clippings as have
sifted down around the roots. These
grass clippings that settle around the
roots afford them a very important pro-
lection, and will do much to keep the
lawn in fine condition when there is
lack OF rain later in the season, for
they will hold the moisture and act as
shield from the sun. In fact, the
grass cuttings are generally needed
about the roots, and should not de-
tract from the looks Of the lawn, for
they soon shrivel, dry up, and work
their way down, so that they are no
longer noticed. Grasses are naturally
cool-climate plants. and are liable to
be harmed by the hot sun about the
roots.
