When we saw our little darling.
Whom we cherished with such care.
Slowly fading from our presence,
Can we help but shed tear.
Death little warning give us.
But quickly called her to her rest:
How we watch to see her coming.
How we wait to hear her call
There was an angel band in heaven,
Which was not quite complete
And God took our little Margaret
ITO fill that vacant seat
BY HER MANA AND PAPA.
How miss you dear Margaret
Since on earth you passed away;
And my heart in aching sorelv

Reached the promised goal at last.

WILSON 10 THE INDEPENDENTS.

MIR Wilson Is the smartest cam
paign speaker the country has listen
ed to since Abraham Lincoln. We
defy any man to read his Indianapolis
speech without recognizing in the
President one Of the shrewdest and
most forceful political leaders this
country has ever known He is very
generally right, but the persons who
think him wrong will not deny the
extraordinary persuasive manner in
which he presents his case He has
to say ii i'm the way most likely to dis
arm criticism and to make a lasting
impression upon the nearer or read
or.
Rather the most important of his
address Ia Indianapolis was his state
ment that it il the independent voters
who hold the balance of power. Meth
err great party has enough OF the old
hide-bound, dyed-in-thewool, thick
and-thin partisan followers to give it
a chance Of carrying the country.
Each party must appeal to the men
who are not severely partisan, who
are not much imposed on by party
names, but who have political ideas
and ideals, and will support which
ever party at the time gives the great
er promise or realizing these And
the President il entirely right in say
ing that much the greater part Of the
Independents are now acting with the
Democratic party. Roughly speak
ing, two-thirds of the Independents
are In the Democratic party and one
third in the Republican. Two years
ago the Democratic party had the
support OF the greater part OF the in
dependent voters and won; there il
every prospect that two years hence
II will have the greater part OF the
Independent voters and will win
again
For the Progressives are an indie
pendent variety of Republicans, and
as the President points out, every
Progressive must admit that all OF
his program which Il practicable has
been undertaken, or is about to be
undertaken, by the Democrats. There
1s a lot in the Roosevelt literature OF
1912 that no practical statesman would
try to put on the statute book; Of the
part that IL practicable, much has in
less than two years been enacted by
the Democratic party, and the rest Of
IL ID on Its program for immediate ac-
ton, or action at the earliest possible
moment.
In the sense In which the phrase Is
commonly used there il no such thing
as scientific tariff, but so far as a
phrase has any practicable meaning,
the Underwood tariff comes within
the classification. and no Republican
tariff since the civil war does. The
Banking and Currency law Il admit
tedly Of immense value to the bust
ness world. Yet for many years the
Republican party in Congress reso-
lutely opposed any ratification of the
tariff and any modernization OF the
national bank system. As the Presi-
dent says, for 30 years the Repub-
licans have shown no capacity except
to lit on the lid
But the steam is forming all the
time in the national boiler, and the
Democratic party has applied this
power to useful ends The Repub-
licans aimed only at suppressing it

MYSTERIOUS CHIMNEY SWIFT.

Much has been learned about bird
migration but much yet remains to
be learned, and the following is one
OF the most curious and Interesting
OF the unsolved problems. The chin
ney-swift Is one of the unsolved pro-
blems. The chimney-swift is cne of
the most abundant and best known
birds Of eastern United States. With
troops Of fledglngs catching their
winged prey as they go, and lodging
by night in tall chimneys, the flocks
drift slowly south joining with other
other, until ON the northern coast of
the Gulf of Mexico they become an
innumerable host. Then they disap-
pear. Did they drop into the water
or hibernate In the mud, as was be-
lieved of old, their obliteration could
not be more complete. In the last
week in March a joyful twittering
far overhead announces their return
to the Gulf coast, but their hiding
place during the intervening five
months is still the swift's secret.

TAINTED POLITICS
BY Peter Radford.

This country is suffering more from
tainted politics than from any Other
malady at the present time. There IL
scarcely a campaign speech made, Q
/ platform demand written or a mea
! sure enacted into law that does moi
carry the faint of personal gain OF
some politician or political faction
thereof
There is more blue sky" in cam
paign promises of many politicians
running for office than was ever con.
tanned in the prospectuses of the bold.
est promoters of chimerical business
schemes. There are more secret com
binations formed by politicians in the
name of my Country" than were ever
formed under any and all other
aliases. There are more political re-
bates hidden in the phrase BE it en-
acted" than were ever concealed un-
der any and all other DISCUSSES.
The inordinate thirst for political
power and unrestrained passion for
mastery has caused more distress ia
this nation than the greed for gold,
and 1t ought to be regulated by law.
No business combination ever pursued
their competitors as relentlessly or
visited more heartless cruelty upon
their customers than political party
that seeks to make junk of an in
dustry, or cripple business for party
success, through tariff measures, po-
litical. supervision and ofttir1nes de-
structive legislation. Many political
as the story Of the rainbow with its
pot of gold and their contamination
about as far-fetched. Selfgain is the
first law in politics. There are many
men IN office today who, II they
could not shake plums off the tree OF
American liberty or cut melon taken
from Uncle Sans commissary, would
have less desire to serve the public
The country is surfeiting with patri-
OTIS, who will bare their breast to bull
let's in defense of their country, but
there are few men in public life who
will bare their breast to voters or run
the gauntlet of party disfavor in de-
Tense of agriculture or industry No
representative Of the people, who will
permit personal prejudice TO dethrone
justice, party success to disfranchise
reason or the rancor of political
campaign to influence Judgment can
render capable service.
The preservation of our prosperity
depends upon wisdom, courage and
honesty in government, and the Amer /
lean voter should seek these attri- |
butes as implicitly as the Wise Men I
the Star Of bethlehem and
they will often be found to rest over
The stable; the pillow or the staff Of
he Shepherd The surest cure for
tainted politics and machine rule is
fresh air and sunshine and these I'M
1ortant elements are most abundant
lpon the farm, and when farmers,
,ankers and merchants are elected to
membership in legislative bodies, much
# the trouble in government will dis
ppear.

regarding the use of strychIlia fol
ground squirrels. The following Is
used successfully:

erably rain water. After cooling
ak one peck Of corn fer As hours
In this solution, using a tight vessel
to prevent evaporation. After drying
the corn, it Is ready for planting.
This does not injure the germinat'
ing qualities. If the corn is subject
to rain, it will decrease its value as
a poison. A little sugar added to the
solution is often of value. This
should be used to sprinkle around
holes and edges of fields. Seed corn
may also be treated by this method
successfully. This will be of ad-
vantage where the squirrels are work
ing ON the orws of corn. The solu-
ton can be drained off from the corr
and used again.

WATERED SECURITIES
BY Peter Radford.

Much has been said and more writ.
! ten about the evils OF watered stock in
big business concerns and tho farm
ers of this nation !. eve that every
dollar written into The life of any
business organization, should be able
to say Il know that my Redeemer
| liveth," but farming is the biggest
business on earth, and there is more
water in its financial transaction than
that of any other industry. There is
as much water i'll a farmers note
when other lines OF industry secure
money fer four or five per cent per
annum, as there Ia in business pay
ing a reasonable compensation upon
the face value of securities repre-
senting an investment of only fifty
cents Gu the dollar. The only diff
ference is, the water is in tho interest
rate in one instance and in the secur-
tiles in the other.
The promoter ofttiines takes chances
and his success is contingent upon
the development OF the property in
volved but the usurcr, as a rule, takes
no chances and his success cripples
the property involved There may be
industries that cry louder but none
that suffer more severely from fnan-
cial immortality in both law and GUS
tom than that of agriculture.
The farmers of America today are
paying $200,000,000 per annum in
usury on real estate and chattel |
loans, and this interest capitalized |
at five per cent, represents s4,000,000,- |
900 Of fictitious values which the farm
er is paying interest on. This sum of |
is almost equal to the annual
value Of crops produced In the United
States.
The earning power OF The farmers
note based upon his interest rate very
nearly divides likes the earth's sur
ace-three-fourths water and one
fourth land. The largest body of wa
ter that floats upon the financial hem
sphere now rests upon the farms

pillows are rolling against seven mil
ion homes threatening ruin and dis
,ster to the prosperity of the nation.
