Make strict dividing line between

that in following the latter idea you
need net shut out the lighter charac-

FRENzIED POLITICS.

We have always been regarded, and
perhaps somewhat justly, as some
thing of partisan in politics, but we
have always been in favor Of discuss
ing political questions on broad lines
and have tried to do so; consequently
we have mighty little time for fren-
aed politics.
We remember mighty well when the
Dingley bill passed the House by an
overwhelming majority how Champ
Clark and other Democrats stood up
In their places and direfully predicted
the end of American prosperity, the
ruination Of agriculture, the destruc-
ton Of manufacturing and drew 50
gloomy a picture of the future as t.
cause cold chills to chase one another
up and down the back. We thought al

RESTOCKING THE HERD.

Farmers who have lost all or part
Of their hogs from cholera are asking
for advice as to the best way of re-
stocking their herds. In this connec-
ton there are number of things to
be kept in mind. All hogs that pass
through. an outbreak Of cholera can'be
regarded as being permanently inn
mune, especially if they showed symp-
toms Of the disease. However, only
a small portion of herd will survive
an outbreak, unless the serum treat
ment is employed. In herds treated
with serum, provided there were un-
doubted cases of cholera present, all
hogs surviving can be reasonably re-
garded as being immune. Close ASSOC
citation with sick hogs at the time Of
treatment is very essential.
Where it is desired to bring new
hogs into the herd, they should be
vaccinated before or at the time they
are placed on the infected premises.
Some breeders are selling brood sows
and bears guaranteed immune to chol-
era. Where such stock Is obtained
from reliable parties, no further treat
ment should be necessary. When inn
mune stock cannot be purchased, ar
engagements should be made to have
the serum-virus (double) treatment
given, either before or at the time
the hogs are placed in the infected
pens or yards. In such cases the SER
um-only (single) method Of treatment
is not sufficient, owing to the uncer-
ta:nty Of the treated hogs actually
getting infection from the premises
| at the time of treatment. The serum
will afford temporary protection, but
after a while the hogs will again be
susceptible to cholera There is nc
way Of telling whether a hog is i'm.
mune to cholera or not, without actu.
ally exposing it to the disease in some
way.
/ Pigs from immune sows will inheri1
q certain amount Of immunity from
their mothers, enough to protect then
from cholera for variable period at
ter birth. When the pigs are about |
month old, it would be well to Civ

1914

By the time this issue OF the Herald
reaches its readers the good old year
of 1918. with its joys and sorrows;
it's hopes and its disappointments;
its triumphs and its failures; will
have passed into history and the glad
new year of 1914 will have hidden the
expectant world howdy, and stepped
INTO reality.
This is q season Of good resolutions,
pledges Of betterment and the appro-
pirate time for the PRONUNCIATION OF
philanthrepical schemes for the physi-
cal, social, intellectual, political and
spiritual uplift Of humanity.
We have q scheme for human i'm
provement so stupenduous it stuns
the imagination: 50 simple that we
are lost in amazement that it has not
been adopted and practiced centuries
ago; so inexpensive that it is within
the reach Of every mortal and so UNI
iversal that it embraces the world.
We do not propose to establish a
new society in these society-loaded
times, or a new party on the party
burdened nation, or new religion on
a. world that possesses more religions
than can be counted and each one
good enough to carry one through life
and death if its tenets are lived up to
and practiced in everyday life as well
as on Sundays.
Our proposal is, that during the
coming year, each human that has
arrived at the years of accountability
shall, in every line of life, he and do
just one-quarter better than in the
years agone and there is not person
that breathes but could do this with
but little effort and with no expense,
and if this plan should be carried out
by the time the year 1914 fades into
eternity that ia past, the world would
be twenty five per cent. better than it
was at its beginning and the plan
would only have to be continued for
four years until this wicked old world
would be perfect.

The Capitol-Plaza Award.

Good news comes today for the owners
Of the properties involved in the Capitol
plaza extension, in the announcement
that the Attorney General has, after
long investigation, recommended to the
President the final approval of the awards
and the payment of the money granted
by the condemnation jury. This matter
has been held up for some months on the
around that in departing from the orig
inal plan to take these lands at the rate
of 100000 a year Congress violated its
own limitation without specifically repeal
ing the original restriction. The Attor
hoy Generals ruling, reported in the news
columns today. that the award is in ac-
cordance with law and is on its merits de-
serving of execution, clears away all OBJ
siaclfs to the final settlement short of
The Presidents own action, which, it is
confidently to Re expected. will quickly
follow the report from the Department of
Justice The delay in this case has been
HIost unfortunate, imposing heavy loss
upon a number OF people besides checking
an Improvement that should proceed
promptly. There is no way to reimburse
those whose properties were condemned
and who were IN effect deprived of rents
for the months of waiting and also lost
heavily in interest on the money that was
due to them under the awards but which,
of course, they could not obtain. It lie to
ne hoped that this experience will teach
the necessity of the most scrupulous care
IN framing condemnation legislation here
after. to leave no loophole for any escape
from the responsibilities of the govern
fnent or any postponement Of execution
after the processes have been completed
an accordance with the law.

The Wreck of the Cobequid.

After all hope had been abandoned, the
rescue OF the passengers and crew of the
steamer Cobeauid, impaled On q reef off
the Nova Scotian coast, stands as one of
the most dramatic of modern triumphs
over sea disaster. Once more the wire
less played an important part in the
summoning Of help in season to prevent,
probably. the loss Of all on board. Had 1t
not been for this means of communica-
ton the ship must certainly have gone to
pieces, with but the smallest chance for
escape for any of Its company. before as
sistance could be rendered. The position
of the reef was such that only d steam
vessel could manage the work of rescue,
and fortunately ships were within range
Of the distress call and were able to reach
the Cobequid in time. The wreck seems
to have been directly due to the severe
storm that was raging as the steamer
made its way northward into the Bay of
Fundy. Her course carried her fairly
close to the coast and ordinarily there
would have been no danger. But the
line of danger than the captain had rea-
son to think. This is a dangerous stretch
of water for ships that do not give them
selves abundant margin of sea room.
The reefs are In some cases barely en-
posed at low water and are of a charac-
er to tear the bottom of ship on the
iishtest touch. Luckily the Cobequid
