WHAT ABOUT 1wILEIe

Two years ago the Legislature considered a
.sred-light abatement law-that is, a law pro-
viding method of procedure for any citizen
against houses used for immoral purposes. The
procedure is that Of court injunction.
The bill passed the senate and was lost in
the house, largely because it had no stanch
friends there to make a fight for it.
Al similar bill will be presented to the 1915
legislature. If it was needed in 1913, it is

THE CRY OF acoMMERc1AL1sM"


Any crv of ''eommercialism" raised at the
United States because of her recent warnings
to Great Britain and Germany has an i'll sound
from nations engaged in conflict in which
trade rights largely figure.
Let there be no doubt that deep under tine
surface causes Of the war there is bitter and
Jealous commercial rivalry between Great Brit
ain and Germany! Indeed, the public utter
ances and the press comment in both countries,
as well as in the other countries engaged in
conflict show plainly that the assassination at
Serajevo, the Russian mobilization, the inva-
sion of Belgium or the three-year enlistment
law of France were only some of the immediate
reasons fer this mighty imbroglio
Germany iustifies the war because, she al
leges, the other nations of Europe were weld
ing around the Fatherland AN iron shaekle.
One of the Teuton statesmen said: Germany
is the target of British jealousy. They are try
ING to stife our national life. We must burst
asunder the bonds land free ourselves for a
world-actiyity.' 49,.
The attempt, if there was any, to stiie Ger
many's national life, was directed against Ger
many's commerce Was there any effort to
stine Germany's art, to stifeg Gerniany's mar
velous application of the sciences, to silence
her poets or to paralyze her musicianss Was
there any effort to destroy her literature or her
religion or her system of ethics9 OF course not.
When her statesmen talk of sitting the Teu-
tonic national life they mean dis9rganizing her
world commerce and blocking her efforts at
empire-building.
Not even the most ardent Briton will deny
that as soon as England entered the cor
her press with one accord called upoN
ernment to seize the opportunit1r
velopment and extensions -
since then the British PR - over
the fact--thanks to thaf navy that

Yet VI I'd States raises warning

ng that her merchant vessels must

1ercialismv is raised
- good American will feel doubt in his
heart as to the motives of the government dur
ing this war. They are the highest and most
honorable. Never has American idealism been
more graphically illustrated than now. In fact,
Il is an idealism so pronounced as at times to
seem over-emphasized. The administration en-
6ured the criticism Of many Americans rather
han 60 to war in Mexico and so it may have
Ia endure criticism now to maintain inhexible
neutrality.
The United States may and doubtless does
make mistakes in the detail of foreign relations
but for any true-hearted American its integrity
Of purpose is not open to question

court TO furnish bonds covering the
amount OF judgments secured against
them in the lower courts.
Another bill has for its purpose the
amending Of the primary law and the
correcting of certain defects In that
statute. One measure Is to amend the
existing election Jaws so that county
elections will be held on different
years than the territorial elections OF
public officials. Another gives certain
powers 70 surety companies. The reg
nlation OF fire insurance business Is
aimed at in another.
A measure will be introduced with
the object OF preventing the setting
aside Of circuit court judgments ex-
cept when secured through circnnl-
stantial evidence. A measure to
strengthen the public utilities commits
sion also is being prepared.

MR.. HoLsTEIN's REMARKS.

Representative Holstein was quoted yester-
day as saying, in effect, that if Governor Pink
ham starts anything he will have fight on his
hands in the legislature.
Governor Pinkham s conduct of office to date
shown no evidence that he is inclined to
start anything" merely for the purpose of
stirring up trouble. In this he has perhaps
disappointed some of those who bitterly OPP
posed his nomination by the president and con-
firnation by the United States senate.
When he has had to act upon public business
he has acted and once or twice has had con-
troversy on his hands as a result, but it would
be hard indeed to find an impartial critic who
will say that in his year and month in the
executive chair the has governor officiously
started anything.
Mr.. Holsten-we hope and expect it is going
to be Speaker Holstein after next Wednesdey
mornings veteran in legislative at 1fI

GRAvEllY HILLSIDE
FOR PEACH ORCHARD
Even Sandy Sells Are Excellent
II Not Too Fine and the
Drainage Defective.

There is a general opinion that all
varieties of small fruit, such as
peaches, pears, plums, cherries, etc,
will thrive better when set out on land
that has a north or northeastern ex.
posture. The reason for this being SO
Is that the buds will not start as early
In the spring and get caught by the
first frost after the warm weather
comes for few days.
The ideal soil for peach orchard
is . warm gravelly hillside. Even
sandy soils are excellent for peach
growing IL the sand is not too fine
or the drainage bad. Heavy, cold
clay soil is unsuited to the peach.
Plum trees are naturally adapted to
sitter soils than the peach.
The soil must be in prime physical
condition before the trees are set out.
This rule applies to all fruit trees, but
particularly to the peach II should
also contain . reasaaas.s amount OF

PLANTING OF TREES
IN PROPER MANNER
Experienced Fruit Growers Sc.
cure Best Results by Exer-
cising Some Care.

Almost any practical degree OF
pressure over the roots in planting
may be advantageous. but it does not
follow that solidity to check sidewise
root growth Is also beneficial. II 1t
were so. the annual digging. or rather
forking. OF fruit plantations, would call
for condemnation.
Experienced growers of fruit most
ly agree that they always find the
trees planted well in accordance with
what Is generally considered the prop
er method flourish bette. than those
less carefully planted. and this Is the
common experience.
Take. as an example, field OF trees
and gooseberry bushes planted in q
wet season. when pudding was pretty
closely approached. gave very unsatis-
factory results. Many of the trees
and bushes died. and the rest made
hardly any growth until two summers
