POLITICAL MILLINERY.

The Hartford Republican has a
hard time getting its political hat on
straight At the last writing its
lid" appeared to occupy a cross be-
tween being upside down and hind
part afore. One more look in; the
glass will probably change this posi-
ton. 4tf 3f II
Years ago our neighbor was
known as a straight-out Republican
paper. Then the Bull Moose appear
ed in the political arena and it
jumped from under the Elephants
ears to a position astride the horn
ed animal. So fiercely did it con-
tend for the Bull Moose idea that it
would not admit articles written in
defense of old-line Republicanism to
appear in its columns. and defenders
of the Republican faith had to use
the Hartford Herald's columns to
express their ideas in the premises,
Now the Hartford Republican has
changed back to the Republican
faith and has no use at all for Pro-
gressive CBull Moose) candidates.
All this is recent history with which
the public is thoroughly familiar.
We do not like to call the Republic
an political demagogue. We will
let its readers and the public form
than own oD;uionc 81
The. Republican is having a hard
time defending its present policy as
compared with its past political his
tory. So hard run is it for material
to uphold the cause of the Republic
an candidates that II has. little.to say
in their behalf, but is trying to be-
cloud the political situation by per-
sonal attacks upon two of the DEM
ocratic candidates in this district
Messrs. Birkhead and Ringo. Com
ing from such source, of course
these attacks are well understood. |
A newspaper that blows hot and cold
Is liable to say anything at any time
and the reliability of it's utterances
Is gagged accordingly. The Repub-
leans diatribes against the two
worthy and very respectable gentle
men who are running in the judicial
race in this district, fall fiat and dis
regarded when it is remembered the
animus which inspires them /
md the Kaleidoscope history of the
paper that prints them.
If the Republican really wants the
public to take an interest in its po-
itical utterances, II should tell Just
What Republication has done for
how it built up the State
md caused prosperity in the years
when II held sway. That would be
eal interesting reading. II would
'e more than that---it would be real
Jews.
In the meantime the Republican
hould take one more look into the
mirror. tuck up those Struggling side
urls which have so obscured its
eatures in days gone by. and see If
hat changed shape of hat IT is now
wearing is on straight.

II sounds amusing If not disgust
ing to hear some men say that Presi-
dent Wilson is making one of the
greatest Presidents our country ever
had as regards his war policy and
i'm the next breath blame him for al
legged hard times and lack of pros
perity. which in most instances is
local or personal instead of general.
The Presidents war policy is GER
tainly splendid and he has done
nothing whatever to retard the bus
mess prosperity of the country. No
man could give wiser administers
tion in all ways than he has done
and is doing.

The prices on a large variety OF
drugs have been advanced to high
figure on account of the war. and
now quinine has taken another jump
20 approximately one dollar an
ounce. Drug prices are now higher
than in % years because of the dis
turbing European conditions. How
ever. no doubt many people, preju-
diced by political bias. will lay the
blame on President Wilson, as they
have in many similar cases.

The truly democratic and UMPIRE
tentious nature of our President Is
shown in his choice of a wife to be-
come the first lady of the land"
He is to marry the widow OF a
Washington jeweler-no doubt as
good and fit lady for Presidents
wife as could be chosen, eminently
respectable and all that. but not
quite one whom most people would
think he would wed. She is not rich
nor of princess" distinction, but
just a handsome. sensible woman,
like thousands of others. That they
will be truly mated. goes without
saying.

fore, a mistake TO sell on all the older
birds and retain the young ones for
breeding purposes.
Young turkeys are Of a delicate
nature until they are fully feathered
and have thrown out a red on their
heads. which usually occurs at about
three months of age. After that they
are hardy. and may be allowed I'M
limited range at all times.
To fatten turkeys for market they
should be confined I'm pens OF about
ten feet square and from six to eight
birds to the pen. The quarters must
be warm and dry. and the birds must
be protected from the rains and storm.
A good fattening food is n mash Of
two parts bran and shorts, one-fourth
ground wheat. mixed with a little
water. Whole corn and wheat ID also
an excellent fattener, and they may be
given as much OF this as they will eat.
A little beef fat finely chopped. given
once or twice a week. is relished and
has o good effect. Skim milk should
be kept before the birds always.
Turkey raising can be made a very
profitable business. particularly in the
West. where all kinds OF grain grow at
small cost.

markets are used. but II a private
trade Ii worked up. which II easily
done In any part Of the country to-
day, the profits can easily be increased
