SILZER AND TAMMANY.

Not since the Doodle indictments IN
this state in 1902 has there been such
a stir in political circles as is beng
created by the graft investigations IN
New York City. The vituperous may
orally campaign in that city last 1ail
furnished some clews which point un-
mistakably to graft and the invesuga-
tion now going on there BODIES no good
for Charles f. Murphy, Tammany lead
or and erstwhile boss of New York pol
itics.
The wave of reform which swept
over New York City last fall and re-
suited in the overthrow of Tammany
has already begun 10 bear fruit. With
the bank accounts of Murphy and
about twenty of his followers in the
hands of District Attorney Whitman
and the statement of the attorney that
he expects to go to the bottom of Tam
many's affairs, there is little DOUBT
that facts will soon be brought to light
which will astonish the nation. The
chief good to be expected from such an
investigation lies in the hope that
enough of the disgraceful transactions
OF Tammany may be brought TO light
thoroughly to arouse public sentiment
so that the organization of such a
political machine may never again be
possible in New York City.
Though William Sulzer. the deposed
governor of New York. may be the cor
rupt and dishonest politician he is
pictured by Tammany, and while his
downfall is. complete, yet to him be-
longs the credit for Murphy's defeat
IL was Sulzer who first uncovered the
trail of graft; il was Sulzer who lee
the fight against Tammany in the re-
cent campaign and it is Sulzer no"
who is the vital force in the final at
tempt to Danish Murphy from Ne"
York politics.
Whatever Suffers faults may be h'
will escape oblivion by his effective
work in the elimination of one OF th'
most disreputable factors in American
political life.

HOW TO GROW SWEET PEAS
An Earlv Start in March and Regular Use of
the Hoe Are Necessary

for about fifteen feet of rows and il
is a good plan to soak the seed in
tepid water for about ten hours be-
fore planting. If several rows are to
be planted let them be about five feet
apart.
The medium for supporting the vines
should be put in place Immediately
after planting Where good, stout,
twiggy brush can be had don't think
about anything else. for no other sup
port will give such good results. Fail
ing with brush as a support, the best
substitute is six-inch wire mesh at
tached to stakes driven about a foot
in the ground al about six inches from
both sides of the row.
Before allowing the vines to begin
climbing they should be thinned out to
stand about four to six inches apart.
The soil should then be drawn up to
them on either side. The seedlings
which are thinned out may be used to
NIL up any Dldnh spaces.
Keep the hoe going. AT least once a
week work the soil between the rows
and well up to the plants, and should
the weather be dry cOpiOus water
ing will be most beneficial.
When the buds show color mulch
OF half decayed farmyard manure or
lawn clippings three inches thick will
be relished by the plants. Remember
to stir the soil before the mulch is
given.
/ While the plants are Towering it is
( well to keep them fed with liquid ma
nures. Dry SCOT busted along the
/ roots during showery weather acts as
a fertilizer an insecticide and gives
a peculiar brightness and color to the
/ flowers.
/ Do not Gull the flowers with nis
gardly hand but remember that the
more freely the blossoms are culleG
the longer and more profusely will the
plants continue to yield. On no ac'
count let seed pods form, for once
the vines begin to set seed their flow
ering season soon passes.

The whole practice of sweet pea
growing may be put conciseiy lhto
these few words: Have the ground
deeply trenched and literally ma
nured: the plants thinned ana
staked: do not allow seed pod 10
form; give copious watering. changing
the liquid manure diet at each appil-
cation; keep the hoe going regularly
An early start is the great secret OF
success with sweet peas. for unless
staked is planted early the vines uo
not really thrive unless the season Is
exceptional. and even then the results
would he much better if early planting
were done. For Missouri. early plant
ing means as soon as soil condltiohs
will allow in March.
If the ground was not prepared Ill

TRAFFIC on THE MISSOURI.

Ii is to be hoped that the proposed
Sl.50O. 900 for the improvement OF the
Missouri River will not go the way OF
a day-dream but will come to sue
cessful issue That amount of money
spent on the great natural highway OF
the Middle West and the West ought
10 make the river navigable for large
boats at least as far as Kansas City.
Navigation on the Missouri would
mean a new prosperity never before
known through the middle OF the state.
Towns hardly known previously would
be spelled in large letters on the maps.
Contrast the belt along the Missouri
River at present with that along the
Ohio. Notice the string Of prosper
GUS cities along the latter. including
the cities near Pittsburgh which are
enjoying liberal growth despite the
fact that the iron trade. which origi-
nally belonged to that region alone Is
moving toward Lake Erie. The steam
boat on the Ohio River is the great
factor in the business Of these cities.
II is hardly likely that Pittsburgh
and Cincinnati would have become the
centers they are if the Ohio were not
nayigable. Then consider the list OF
smaller cities OF from 10000 on up.
East Liverpool. Steubenville, Wheel
ing. Parkersburg. Portsmouth. Coving-
ton. Louisville, Evansville. And there
are a score of towns of 10000 or so.
These cities are no better in them
selves than Missouri towns.
Navigation on the Missouri would
stimulate industry and commerce
along its banks by giving better trans
portation facilities with cities along
the Mississippi and the Ohio. Missouri
could more easily exchange its natural
products for the manufactures OF the
Ohio Valley. River boats would also
mean better trade between Kansas
CITY and ST. Louis. In short. they
would mean a Missouri spelled in big
ger letters
