CUT OUT POLITICS.

This is no time for politics in the
congress of the United States, nor in
the army and navy OF the United
States 1t is the time to bury all po-
liticaI differences in the common
cause. The country has confidence in
its representatives and in its army and
navy. but it remembers the trying days
and weeks and months of 1851 when
the civil war was in its inception was
Irotracted for years.
Politics crippled the efficiency OF
the adequate hosts which rushed TO
the front to save the Union and which
.unhampered. could have forced the
south TO yield in half the time it took
to restore peace. The departments
reel1ed with political plots. No COM
mander took charge OF the armies in
the field with certainty Of support
from Washington. The struggle for
place supplanted the struggle for
peace.
Politics had its lessons in that war
and it has had them since. The first
years Of the war were devoted to
settling political differences in the
Forth rather than to restoring peace
in the south. There was less of it in
the Spanish-American war, but not an
absence of it, The hope is that there
will be none Of it in the trouble now
menacing us.
The military and naval forces of
the country are much better organized
now than at the beginning of the civil
war or that for the Spanish war.
There is less opportunity for selfish in
reference Party leaders are not
likely 10 be rushing to Washington
20 demand the recall Of this or that
general officer, nor to be conspiring
for the elevation OF some partisan
favOrite, regardless of his qualifica-
tiors.
Operations in Hexico. on whatever
magnitude they may be conducted,
can go on without seriously disturb
ing the United States. In their rela-
tions 10 business they will be most
noticeable in the smaH stamps attach
ed TO Injuries If not hindered by
political manipulations they will move
en- speedily and efficiently TO the ac-
complishment of the desired end.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY

has ceased his masquerade in the pro-
gressive party.
The Courier's chief regret in this
matter is that the Indianapolis News
has been SO late in getting around TO
elicit Mr. Bauer's announcement. 1t
is not what might be termed import
ant news; still, ii might have been i'm
portant to "A few. IT would have saved
some a surgical operation whereby to
get the right idea of the Honorable
Mr.. Bauer into their heads. The
Courier will say this in complement
to Mr.. Bauer: While he did not fool
every one as to his progressive mas
querade, nevertheless, he fooled some,
and he fooled 'em right. He never
opened his mouth in the presence of
some that he did not work st the
game.

mayor. InaSmuCh as he is not particular

of course, owes an apology to those
who were opposed to Mr.. aBuer in the
recent city campaign. The Courier
insisted and reinsisted that the "old
sang was not coming back The
Courier apologies TO all whom ii OPP
posed on this proposition. and il apol-
ogizes to all whom il helped deceive.
All that The Courier can offer n the
way of an excuse is that it was per-
fectly sincere. By all the standards
and tests known to honorable men il
thought IT was right.
The Courier will not now oppose
the Honorable Mr.. Bauer simply be-
cause he has changed his politics.
The Courier will be glad 10 assist even
Mr.. Bauer in any good thing he may
attempt for the good Of the city.
Furthermore, there is no need OF OPP
posing Mr.. Bauer. He is elected forfour
years. When that four years is ended
he will drop as completely out of pub
lie life, without a single word being
offered against him, as though he had
never been heard of. Lafayette is
easily 1900 majority strong against
the old gang.
Again. The Courier's comfort IS in
Lincoln. He said. YOU can fool some
Of the people all Of the time, and all of
the people some OF the time; but you
can't fool all the people all the time"

TO PRUNE TREES PROPERLY
Work Should Be Delayed Until March
Or Until After Severe Cold
Weather Has Passed.

By E. P. sANDsTEN. Colorado Agri-
cultural College)
The average farmer and fruit grower
has very little conception of how to
properly prune fruit trees. 1t is gen
orally done at any time during the
winter season when the tree is dor
mant. If no time is to be had. it is.
delayed for another year. This system
is disastrous. The fruit trees should
be regularly pruned, regardless of the
amount of pruning required. If the
work is done every year the tree will
get into the habit of producing GER
tain amount of wood and fruit, and
there will be little occasion for severe
pruning.
If the pruning during the first three
or four years of an orchard after
planting is properly performed. there
will subsequently be little need to re-
move large branches. The pruning
will then consist merely in the re-

H0RsERADISH is EASY CROP
Not Always Profitable Except In lo'
calities Where There is Steady
and Certain Demand.

Horseradish as a market garden
crop is not always profitable except
In localities where. there is certain
and steady demand. such as is usually
found in our large city markets, and
then only when it can be cultivated as
a second crop.
AS a rule, the soil in market gar
dens is in a high state of cultivation
and will give better returns in some
of the early or more standard crops.
But as a farm crop 1t is a different
proposition. Here the land is not con
sidered as valuable in fertility, and
the acreage more extensive. Soil that
will grow a good crop of corn or po-
tatoes will usually produce a good
crop of horseradish. and when choice
can be had loose. loamy soil, rather
moist than dry, should be preferred.
The roots can be planted in the
early spring, cultivated by horsepow-
er, and the expense of growing the
crop will be somewhat reduced, If we
do not figure the interest of our land
too high. In case we do not find
ready market for the entire crop the
first year we can allow it to remain in
the field, to come on the next fall.
without any material loss. BY this
method of culture the crop will pay

farm crop.
The selling price will average four

KEEPING THE SOIL FERTILE
Organic Matter and Lime Are of Vital
Importance to Farmer In Modern
Agricultural Practice.

The fertility of our soils can only be
maintained by intelligently following
the practices which long years of ex-
perience by our best farmers have
demonstrated to be correct. In
modern agricultural practice the fac
tors, organic matter (humus) and
lime, are of vital Importance to the
farmer, and the community at large
as we'll. Public prosperity is like a
tree; agriculture is its roots; industry
and commerce are its branches and
leaves. If the root suffers the leaves
fall, the branches break. and the tree
dies" This is the philosophy of the
