Mr.. CLARK'S GRACEFUL ACT
Leaves to Wilson the Task Of Lead
ing ForIorn Hope In
1916.

Speaker Clark has declared himself
for Wilson for the presidential NOM
nation in 1916. We felt sure Mt.
Clark would get even.-Wausau Rec
ord-Herald
Tha:.s it, Mr. Clark's ardent, pre-
cipitate and self-effacing Endorsement
of Woodrow for leader in 1916 is the
most ominous thing yet for that gen.
tleman. Even that incurable opti-
mist Mr.. Bryan. would hardly apply Cor
the job.
And we should not be at all sur
prised to find Mr.. Wilson himself sud-
denly developing a strong sense Of
the binding force OF that single term
plank in the Baltimore platform. Why.
1t is a perfect godsend for him

Competent handa Required.

The greatest political upheaval of
an off year has been accomplished in
Ohio, where the tax officials of IS
counties, all Democrats, were relieved
of their duties and an equal number
of Republicans substituted. The ex-
travagance of preceding Democratic
administrations renders necessary a
more thorough and equitable system
of taxation. To insure success the
work of reform had to be placed in
more competent hands.-Omaha Bee.

Inheritance Tax Receipts VIII Help.

Denver.-Prospect of the state col
lecting about 100000 in Inheritance
taxes for the years 1914-1915 may go
a long way toward relieving the
treasury of burdens imposed upon it
by appropriations. The amount in
sight from this source for the past
five months to May l is $37S,056. This
is considered a wonderful showing by
the department under Attorney Gen
eral Farrar. A total of s19 cases have
been passed upon by Inheritance Tax
Appraiser Hubbard for the-five-month
period.

Denver.-Two kilograms of congrat-

son by Mrs. Mary C. C. Bradford,
president of the Colorado Branch

meetings of the two organizations
there were unanimous resolutions
passed asking that President Wilson
be informed by telegraph of the ap-

Another Democratic Failure.

The Brooklyn Eagle calls attention
to the fact that prior to the passage
of the seamen's bill additions to Amer
lean registry came at the rate of eight
or ten a month. and that since that
enactment they have ceased, with no
prospect of resumption. The Wilson
administration has flung away the
chance that was offered by the Euro
pean war for the restoration of the
American flag to the seas.

and few of the wild ducks, as the

known to use nesting boxes. Houses
set close to streams in the western
mountains will probably be occupied
by ousels or dippers. Florida grackles
sometimes breed in flicker holes and
may be expected to occupy houses
now and then. In every locality hav-
Ing trees there is a group OF birds
ready to appropriate houses when
they have the opportunity.
House birds differ decidedly in their
requirements. For those which usu-
ally excavate homes for themselves.
the diameter for the entrance and the
depth and diameter OF the cavity
must be in accord with their specific
standards. Some birda are satisfied
with almost any sort OF a lodging.
Bluebirds and wrens, for example. are
content to build in tomato cans, al
though chickadees and nuthatches
disdain them Wood Is a better build
ing material than metal or earthen-
ware. Entrance holes should be coun-
tersunk from the outside to exclude
rain. Heads of nails and screws
should be set rather deeply and COW
cred with putty. All houses should
be easy to open for cleaning. A
perch at the entrance is unnecessary
and may even be an objection, as it
is frequently used by English spar
rows while they twitter exasperating-
ly to more desirable occupants To
provide for proper ventilation a row
Of small holes is sometimes bored
just beneath the caves, but there
should never be ven.ilating hole

should be made tight, as drafts of air

The appearance and durability OF
houses are improved by a coat OF
paint. A neutral shade Of green or
gray is suitable for houses mounted
in trees. while those on poles. being
conspicuously placed. lend them
selves harmoniously to the landscape
when painted white
Possibilities in the way OF impro-
vising bird houses with very little work
are suggested in this article. Ordi-
nary tomato cans arranged as nests
will quickly be tenantcd by wrens and
bluebirds. The cans ought always to
be placed in shaded places, as the
metal becomes very hot in the sun.
Bird houses in the southern states
have long been made from gourds.
The entrance is in the side and
drain hole in the bottom, as shown In
figure A. A piece of wire through the
neck for mounting it completes the
house. A number Of gourds thus pre-
pared and strung on a pole seems to
make a satisfactory tenement house
for colony of martins. Used singly
they are equally well adapted to
wrens and bluebirds. While gourds
are not durable when exposed to the
weather they are easily replaced.
Ordinary wooden boxes, if clean.
can be made into bird houses by
merely mailing on a cover and cutting
out an entrance hole. Such make
shifts are rarely weatherproof and are
