Crops Not Affected By Moon.

Scientists are now convinced
that the moon has no more in
fluence on crops than it has upon
the temperature or the amount of
rain or the winds or any other
weather element. The growth of
plants depends upon the amount
of food in the soil and in the air
that is available for them and up
on temperature, light and mois-
ture. The moon obviously does
not affect the character of the
soil in any way, neither does it
affect the composition of the
atmosphere. The only remain
ing way in which it could in
fuence plant growth. therefore,
is by it's light. Recent expert.
ments, however, show that full
daylight is about 100000 times
brighter than full moonlight, yet
when a plants gets 1.10Oth part of
normal daylight it thrives little
better than in absolute darkness.
If 1.10Oth part of normal day
light is thus too little to stimulate
a plant, it seems quite certain
that 600, ,O0Oth part can not have
any effect at all. 1t is therefore
a mere waste of time to think
about the moon in connection with
the plantingof crops. The moon,
say the scientists, has nothing
more to do with this than it has
to do with the building of fences,
the time for killing hogs, or any
other of the innumerable things
over which it was once supposed
to exert a strong infiuence.-U.

Senator Stones View Of 1t.
Senator Stone commenting On

Senator Stone commenting on
the Lusitania tragedy says:
Without expressing an opin-
ion as to our relations to this
event or our duty in the premis-
es, there are some facts that we
cannot overlook and are bound
to consider. We cannot over
look the fact that the Lusitania
was a British ship flying the
British flag, and subject at any
time to be put into the actual
naval service of the government.
Indeed, it is stated, that at the
time she was attacked she was
carrying military reservists to
England for service IN the Brit
ish army. True, there were
American citizens on board, but
it must not be forgotten that
they went aboard a belligerent
ship with full knowledge of the
risk, and after official warning
by the German government.
When on board a British vessel
they were on British soil. Was
not their position substantially
equivalent to being within the
walls of a fortified city? If Am
erican citizens stay within city
besieged or threatened and the
enemy attacks, what should our
governn ent do if our citizens
should be injured?
/ express no opinion at this
time. l am merely suggesting
reasons why we should maintain
our equilibrium. and not rock
the boat" unit, we know what we
are about.
Aside from the possible loss
of American lives, let US ask our
selves just where we come in.
This is the most sensible ut
terance on the subject that we
have so far seen. No one can
accuse Sel ator Stone Of being a
sympathizer with Germany, ne
is neutral, taking sides neither
way. Whatever intimation as to
what our course should be lies
in his remarks, it is not that we
should go to war with Germany
for causing the death of Ameri-
can citizens aboard a British
ship, but rather that we should
call England to account for not
protecting them against it while
they were within her jurisdic-
ton.

Punch Board Illegal.

ming or allowing to be run on his

device is one of these where one
pays ten cents and punches out
a number frem a hole in the
board. One always get some
thing for ones money but gener-
ally it is of no value, the pull"
to the scheme being a number
which might call for grand

late ruling of the higher courts
it is a violation of the law to
operate such punch boards.

NO MALICE IN ELEPHANTS
Good Nature Characteristic Of Jungle
Monster, Says Traveller Who
Should Know.

In 1905 I found myself near the
1nzia. river. an important afluent of
the Kwilu, flowing through a fertile
region which is infested by herds of
elephants, a source Of constant anxi-
ETY. and frequent losses to the agri-
cultural inhabitant, writes E. To-day
in the Wide World Magazine. In a
country like this, where he is not
hunted by man in the ordinary way
and the only means for his destruction
are cruel but easily avoided pitfalls,
the elephant is decidedly good ma
tured. We were told by the mission
boys at Pana that in the rainless sea-
son, when their usual haunts are
dried up, the elephants frequently
wander near the river and attack the
plantations. The natives try to drive
them away with sticks! "But it is no
good hitting them or throwing stones
at them." was told; they generally
refuse to take any notice. Sometimes
a mother with a calf will turn on us
and chase US for 100 yards or SO, but
no real harm is meant and the ami

signs Of fury-spread ears and raised
trunk-are absent All the same We
do run away, although we know there
is no danger. One day a boy fell
when thus pursued. but the elephant
only threw sand on him."
As l have myself seen man just
pushed out Of the way by one of these
good-natured monsters. when the an
imal had more than enough provoca-
ton to kill him, was inclined to ac-
cept this account as true.

The Campbell will contest trial
in st. Louis, which came to con-
clusion one day last week in 1"
verdict for the defendants, who
were the beneficiaries Of the will,
presents an unpleasant trait of
human nature. The parties who
sought to break the will were
only collectoral heirs of the tes-
tator, who by process of law as
saulted the intimate moral right
of the widow and child to the
estate in question. The testator,
James Campbell, was a self-made
man, who acquired the wealth he
left behind through personal
effort, diligence and early fru-
gality. So far as any testimony
produced went to SHOW, none of
the collateral heirs rendered him
any aid or service in this accumu-
lation, they had no other claim
than that of kinship. On the
other handit may be assumed that
the wife and daughter were close
to the testator during all the
years he was engaged in gather
ing his fortune, giving him their
affection, sympathy and en-
couragement, and thus creating
much of the inspiration that aid.

by a little incident that happened

The Day Of Reckoning Ha. Come

1he Legislative history OF two
years of Democratic rule was
completed March 4. Those two
years have been marked by one
of the most active periods of law
making this country has ever
seen. With House ready and
able to execute his DEGREES down
to the last word and with a work
ing majority IN the Senate, Presi-
dent Wilson took the oath of Of
fee March 4, 1918. With pro-
phetic eagerness he summoned
Congress in extra session a
month later. With the exception
Of six weeks of respite last fall
the party machinery has been in
operation ever since, grinding
out experimental laws that affect
every phase of our social and
cOmmefc1dI lie.
What does study of that re,
cord show?
It discloses the fact that dur
ing that time the Democratic
Congress has enacted and the
Democratic President has signed
more crude, imperfect aud nuga-
tory laws than ever were written
during the same length of time
by any American Congress. It
furnishes an Indictment of haste
and lack of legislative intelligence
that is bound to be humiliating
to the party responsible.
That there has been tremen-
dous quantity Of legislation can
not be denied. More than four
hundred public laws have been
placed upon the statute books by
the Democrats since they came
into power. These are designat-
ed public" because they ap-
propriate money for general pur-
poses or affect general law. In
addition to these, hundreds OF
private bills have been passed.
Those who have closely OBJ
served the methods of legislation
used by the Democratic majority
are not surprised at the faulty
results. the present admins
tration has been admittedly nota
BILE, even notorious, for it's steam
roller short cuts in enacting laws.
Every important bill passed has
been put through with small con.
sideration beyond that of party
expedience. AS soon as the
President proposed a law then the
caucus approved it, the majority
rushed it through committees
and back to the President for his
signature, all with as little de.
bate as possible, and under iron
clad special rules that permitted
no chance for intelligent con-
sideration or amendment.
1t is conceivable that a few
bills might be put through a
Legislative body in this way and
emerge in perfect form. But to
use such methods indiscriminate-
ly, as the Democratic Congress
has done, is practically to insure
the enactment of laws which
/ future Congresses must either
repeal or spend many weeks to
amend. This is the task which
Democratic haste and lustful use
of a powerful majority has Great
ed for future Congresses.
Specific examples of blunder-
ing will not be enumerated in
this article. TITS enough at pres.
ent to make the general state
ment that the Democratic party
has ''sown a wind of Legislation
and is reaping a whir!wind OF
mistakes. Future articles will
appear that will show in detail
the various instances of blunder'
ing, careless drafting of bills
that finally went on the statute
books without correction.
