SMALL COMFORT FOR WILSON
Recent Vote Showed the Administra-
tion's Policies ~Repudiated by
the Voters.

The smashing fact of the election
lies in its demonstration that the ma
tional Republican party is a revived
and forceful quantity. 1t has carried
New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio, re-
claimed Connecticut, and exhibited in
creased strength through the country.
The great Democratic majority in the
House of Representatives is cut to a
small margin. This result is the more
emphatic because it comes upon the
heels of strenuous efforts by the ad-
ministration at Washington in the
states which have changed from the
Democratic to the Republican col
umn. In New York, for example, the
administration put forth tremendous
efforts in behalf of Glynn and Gerard,
candidates respectively for the COVER
norship and the s~enatorship. Half
the members of the cabinet went on
the stump in New York. and the Pres
ident himself by letters and personal
interviews took an active hand in the
campaign. In the face of the returns
from New York and elsewhere it now
becomes apparent that the Wilson ad-
ministration is not the highly ap-
proved and popular force that it has
been asserted to be. Democratic poll
cies have not won the country: by in
ference they will not command it's sup
port in 1916.

YOUNG WOMEN AND POULTRY
Production of Fancy Stock, Eggs.
Broiiers and capons Affords
Means of Making Money.

There are many young ome on
farms all over this broad land of ours
who are debating the question of leav-
ing home to make their way in the
world,
They have finished school, are not
particularly needed on the farm. and
are ambitious American girls who
seek to show that they are able to
take care of themselves.
They have the idea they must get
away from the poky old farm If they
wish to win money or fame.
The farm they argue, stands for
plenty Of hard work, NO pay and little
play. On some farms this may be
true, but they are the exception.
Any bright capable girl who is will
ing TO give as much of her time, en-
ergy and study to the science OF rails
ing poultry, as she would be compelled
to give to fit herself to be a stem
ographer, bookkeeper, dressmaker,
ETC., will make a success nine times
out of ten.
She will have worked herself into
a paying business without leaving the
shelter of home, and always find a
ready market for her products.
The possibilities of the farm were
never greater than today, and the pro.
ducing of fancy stock, fresh eggs
broilers, spring capons and just chick
en- is one of the broad II leading
the wide-awake American girl to fame
and gold.

Shows pistrust Of Democrats.

Throughout the nation the returns
show the diminution of Democratic
power to a degree that points to the
overthrow of that party at the first
opportunity. The nation-the bust
ness men, the workingnen, the
thoughtful students of public life
have registered a vote against the
party in power that cannot fail to
carry its warning. The country is
to be congratulated; the Republican
party is to be congratulated. The
business and the laboring elements
are to be congratulated. The Social
ist and Labor tickets have suffered
also, and the net result is highly
advantageous to the Republicans.
The returns are pregnant with
meaning, not solely for their numer-
ical showing, but for the strong ten
dency theg disclose toward the re-
turn of the Republican party in pow.
er and the distrust of the Democrats.

Republican Victory.

Based upon the confident claims of
the Democrats, based upon the eager
~interposition of the administration in
the campaign, based upon the ire
mendous efforts put forth to keep the
country at high Democratic tide, the
Judgment from the results of the cleo
ton must be that it was a Republican
victory. 1t was not a clearance of the
Democrats from their paramountcy.
This was not expected. It was a re-
Duke, stern and swift, sure and earn
est against the failure of the Demo
Gratis to make good their pledges of
prosperity. Vastly more than this,
it was the judgment of the people
upon the stewardship of their affairs
by those who wasted the country's sub
stance and throttled its enterprise
with tariff impositions and legislative
vagaries that have brought forth only
q harvest of regret for the people that
they ever saw the enforcement of
the Democratic party.

TRAIN COLT FOR EXHIBITION
Most Interesting Event at County
Fairs Often Spoiled by Bad Actions
of Excited Youngsters.

What should be a most interesting
event at many county fairs, the show
ing of colts, is often very disappoint-
ing both to- the owners and the spec
tators- A ring filed with wild or half.
broken colts is not much satisfaction
to the fair management or 10 the
crowds.
The little rascals are excited, they
tear around like a spoiled y~oungster
and generally demean themselves SO
badly that the judges have hard work
in picking the winners. All this could
be changed greatly by training the
colt every day for a few weeks be-
fore he is t. be shown.
The training should be of the sim
plest kind. When he is being weaned
he should be broken to the bride and
the halter. The bride is usually the
best as the y%oungster is more easily
controlled by this than by the halter.
1t Is easy enough to break the colt to
the bride in the weaving stage and
from this he should be educated till
he a be made to walk, trot, halt
when spoken to while being led by the
bride.
A colt that is led into the show ring
and kept standing In the proper posi-
ton has a better chance to have his
good points noted than the unmanage-
able youngsters who are never still a
minute.
If he has been taught to walk and
trot properly, the educated young
equine will show his action as it should
be shown. This may have a lot of
weight with the judges and 1t should
have. When the colt is getting, his
training for the show the attendant
should not let him SLOUGH for a mo-
ment- When training the colt to trct
while being led the attendant should
keep close to the colt. near enough to
lay his hand on the animals shoulder
Once in the ring the colt should be
kept pretty well on the alert. KeeJ
his head up and so handle him that
his feet are kept in their proper posi-
tons. A colt is like a boy, leave him
to himself for a moment and he will
find a dozen things to do with him.

make him look like as good an animal

beers. The spores Of this stage germi-
nate in the soil and infect future
crops.
The best preventive against an at
tack of winter rot is to make certain
that the potatoes are well dried before
storing. Powdered sulphur, if sprin-
kled over the tubers at the rate of
two pounds to the ton, will destroy
the fungus, and also hold in check
mites, wood lice, ETC., which by their
movements convey the spores from
one potato to another. PITS" clamps
or cellars should always be well ven
tilated.
Land that has produced a diseased
crop will certainly be infected, and po-
tatoes should not be planted in it
again for several years. Kainit, or
lime, may be applied to infected land.
Both destroy the fungus.
The former is the more effective.
and when land is infected this ma
nure should be used in preference to
sulphate or muriate Of potash, but the
quantity should not exceed Sc W
per acre. OF the quality of the pota-
toes may be injured.
Kainit may be applied il the drills
before planting, but In this case,
where it is required both as a manure
and a fungicide, 1t would probably be
better to apply it as a top dressing
before the horse hoe is used for the
last time.
II the land needs potash, and espe-
cially if the potato crop is to be fol
lowed by a crop likely to be benefited
by potash, as e. g., barley or mangles,
a dressing of kainit may be applied to
the infected land as soon as the pota-
toes are lifted.
II potash is not required, and if the
land is likely to be benefited by lime,
then it would be desirable to dress
the infected field with from one tc
three tons of lime per acre.

Essential to Character.

It is bitter medicine, but the one
thing needed most in the human soul
is discipline.
1t is well to have force, genius. Wig
enthusiasm, love. power; but you
may have them and be a criminal, a
maniac or a cad; you become great
only when to these you add self-con-
troll.
The latest movement in education
is toward developing the initiative of
the child. This can hardly be carried
too far. And the old, stupid method
of thwarting. denying and browbeating
little ones, Just for the sake OF discip-
line, cannot be too roundly condemned.
But for all that there is danger that
in u new eagerness to find and bring
out the child's forces we may forget
the prime need of Strengthening his

WHY BAD BUSINESS.
Proof That Democratic Tariff Is
to Blame.
Governments Figures Expose the
Hypocrisy of Blaming the War for
Hard Times Which Are At
fIicting the Country.

The Democratic administration vas
not more fortunate in the political &C
cident by which it was elected than
it has been in having its blunders al
most obscured by foreign complied
tons. 1t used to be said of kings that
whenever domestic discord threatened
to break out in a revolution they made
wal upon some standby enemy in or
der to divert attention from the dis
satisfaction at home. The Wilson
regime has had all that advantage
without the corresponding cost. First
Mexico and then Europe came to the
rescue of the Democrats by diverting
attention from u own domestic
tragedy in the form of a suicidal fiscal
policy.
Our people have never been per-
mitted to take a square look at the
new tariff as the prime and all suf-
fcent cause of an industrial depres-
sion, psychological in the parlance of
Democrats, but real to the pockets of
manufacturers and producers general
ly. We were just beginning to get
weary enough of Mexico's eternal
troubles to think about our own, when
another and denser fiscal fog arose
in the shape of the European calamity.
1t is not argued hat the Democrats
are pleased with the European war,
but they have taken every advantage
of it in attempting to explain away
the losses incurred by the tariff. But
the truth will out, and it is out with
a vengeance in the statistics for the
last fiscal year, ending June 80, and
therefore in no wise affected by the
war.
The governments own figures show
that for the fiscal year 1914 the United
States bought from abroad about
eighty millions of dollars worth of
goods in excess of the purchases for
the previous year and sold less Of it's
own goods abroad by ove a hun
dred millions of dollars. That is to
say, we injured our own market to
the extent of 10000. 900 and lost for
eign markets to the extent of more
than $foG, 900, 000.
Gold literally streamed out of the
country, the excess Of exports over
imports for the year being ~$24,63S,419.
Remember, all this was before
America lost a single customer
through the European war.
With a net loss to American indus
try of $1s0,000, 900 in one year, end
ing at a period of almost two months
before a shot was fired in Europe, is
it not the height of political men.

the tariff as the cause of our depres.

Wilson in 1916.

One result of the election is to in
sure beyond certainty that President
Wilson will be the Democratic nom
inee to succeed himself in 1916.
Champ Clark said, not long after
the election of 1912, that if Wilson
succeeded, nobody else could possibly
be nominated; if he failed. nobody
else would be willing to be nominated
The record, as made up at the polls
clearly points to the denomination
of the president, on the ground that
the nomination will not be in sufficient
demand to justify a fight against the
Administrators forces for it.

CONSTANT PASTURE FOR PIGS
Rape Growing In Popularity as Feed
Movable Fences Should Be En-
ployed to Avoid Trampline.

Pigs in clover are popularity sup
posed to be in the ideal animal en-
vironment, but the cold facts show
that pigs in rape do better.
Recently 21 pigs fed on rape for
eight weeks gained 81 pounds more
weight than the same number fed on
clover for the same time.
1t is a mistake to assume, however.
that rape alone makes an ideal food
for gain. They must have some grain.
Fed on rape or clover alone, pigs will
do better on clover.
Rape should be fed by means of
movable fences, in order that the pigs
may not trample the field too much.
Clover has to 5e pastured, or it
will quickly become dry and woody.
and therefore, Without proper nutri-
ton. With ordinary rainfall rape pro-
vides a constant pasturage.

STILL PARTY OF THEORIES
Democrats Have Shown That in the
Main, They Are, as Ever,
Missionaries.

The feature of President Wilson's
ante-election letter which most opened
it to criticism was its tendency to
translate laws into results and take
for granted that a bill passed is the
same thing as a reform achieved. He
wrote of the new tariff, for instance,
as if it had already demonstrated it's
ability 10 lower prices and curb mon
opoly. 1t has been ever thus with
the Democratic propagandisms. To
the average promulgator of Democrat.
ic doctrinals theory is as good as dem
onstrated fact, and when warm-air
promises come to nothing other warm.
air promises are offered in the con-
fident belief that fooling the people
all the time is as easy as blowing
bubbles from a clay pipe.
AS to the Wilson-Underwood tariff
having set business Free" business
will probably ponder deeply over what
manner of new freedom" has been
created for its benefit. 1t was in the
promise when Congress was called in
to special session to make over the
tariff in accord with Democratic the
cries, that. under the working of these
theories new life and energy would be
put into all branches of home indus
try, the cost of living would be low
cred, and, in short, that such an era
of prosperity would be ushered in as
the country has never experienced.
Nothing of the kind has happened,
but here are the rainbow-chasing
Democratic propagandists with the
President at their head ignoring the
demonstrated facts and claiming that
it has happened. Instead of setting
business free, the Democratic tariff
during the eight months of its unin-
terrupted performance was operating
in a way to put business out of. bust
ness. The study of government trade
reports from January to July will sub
stantiate the foregoing assertion.

HEAVY BONDAGE OF CUSTOM
True Freedom viii Be Found to Be
. Rare Gem, When All Things
Are Considered.

Freedom is a priceless gem-and
a rare one: also; for in spite of the
fact that we live in an age of relig
ious freedom, freedom of the press,
freedom of speech and comparative
freedom of our mode of living. yet
we are bound in various ways-such
ways that make real freedom rare,
AS a free-born race we could dress as
we chose. eat as we chose and
live as we chose, providing we>did not
encroach upon the rights of others.
But this we do not do.
We dress as custom and fashion de-
cree-be it comfortable or not, and
we are quite careful to follow fash
ions guiding finger though our daily
life and from year to year. And so
we are not free-but bound securely.
What that bondage leads to may be
seen any day on any street where
people pass by.
Then there is another kind of free.
dom that should be highly priced and
sought for, and that is courteous free.
ION of manner Many persons live
q rather lonely life simply because
they never considered graciousness
as worth cultivating. "Gush" and
"splashing over" are objectionable Of
lenses to our conservative world.
And yet there is a happy medium
between that and the coldly critical
person. A little freedom is helpful
in all walks OF ife-for high or low
as u stations may be, we are of q
common clay that must mo1der in
time into common d~ust--for after a
century or two who could distinguish
dust Of prince from dust of pauper!
1t is worth while to bend a little
to be a bit friendly with the pilgrims
passing along the road of life. Fol
we need each others aid and we need
a certain sense of freedom in manner
and speech. Frozen faces were never
conducive to happy hearts. Unbend
