Mr.. Taft's olive Branch.

The terms of peace which, on be-
half Of the Republicans, Mr.. Taft Of
fers to the Progressives are unlike the
extravagant proposals that emanate
from time to time from the European
belligerents. AS the leader Of his
party, there can be no question OF his
authority to speak for it. When he
says that reunion is possible only as
Progressives become Republicans and
abandon the serio-comic program to
which they subscribed at Chicago. he
emphasizes an obvious fact.
Republicanism has become a fixed
belief. It is not the same as the Re-
publicanism of Lincoln's day, when it
was leavened with Free-Soilism and
Democracy, and no amount of Progress
sive oratory will make it so. 1t is the
party of Hanna, Mckinley, Quay and
Aldrich. 1t stands boldly for certain
inalienable rights of the favored and
powerful, for government in partner
ship with big business, for just enough
concessions to discomfort to assure
to the dominant class steady incomes,
good digestion and restful slumber;
but as for social justice and such
things, there is no nonsense about it..
While there are no Progressives in
the Republican party, there are plenty
of good Republicans in the Progress
sive party, and that is why, if any re-
union is to take place, it must be upon
the lines laid down by Mr.. Taft. The
remnant of Progressivism which may
not be able to return to the older or
ganization will havn to stand alone or
make an honest and sensible choice
between ou.-and-out Socialism and out
and-out Democracy. There isn't going
to be any Armageddon.-New York

What influence will the present
tendency to mule breeding have upon
the horse supply of the future? The
high prices and the scarcity of mules
have suggested to many farmers and
horse raisers both North and South
the desirability of raising mules from
the standpoint of sales for profit.
There is an increased demand for
large mares to breed mules. This
tendency is not confined to any par
ticular locality. 1t is not alone in
the northern horse raising states, but
is spreading in the South Carloads
of large young mares have been pur-
chased and shipped into the heart
of the southern, states for the joint
purpose of teams and mule raising.
The mule is gaining in popularity for
team work wherever the horse and
mule are in use.
The tendency to mule preference
seems to be based Upon economy Of
service in team work on the farm and
wherever horse power is demanded.
The demand for more mules means
mares employed in the raising of

FOR CAMPAIGN FUND
Why Republican Party CIings to
Tariff Issue.
Leaders Realize They Can Not Win
But Contributions From Special
Interests Will Enable Them
to Control Machine.

1t is no disinterested devotion ia
the principle of extreme protection
that is turning the Republican lead
ers back to the tariff as their main
issue in 1916.
The Republican organization needs
money for campaign purposes. Fed
eral and state legislation has prac
tically dried up the railroad and Wall
street fountains that once gushed sc
plenteously. The special interests that
rob the consumer by capitalizing high
tariffs are the only certain supply
that remains. Wool and cotton and
steel are always ready to trade cash
for. legislation, and by selling out the
Republican party to these infant in
dustries campaign fund can be as
sured.
That is why the average Republican
politician Is willing to stake the 1915
election on the tariff. He knows his
party will probably be defeated, but
he also knows that the organization
will be provided with the sinews OF
war without which the standpat ele
ments cannot maintain their control
over the machine.

Tariff Chances Not to the Point

Tariff Changes Not to the Point.
No tariff legislation and no changes
in the existing tariff laws can aid i'm
ports into this country from Europe
or block England from securing such
trade as she may seek.
This is the opinion of Represents
tive Cordell Hull of Tennessee, mem
Der of the house ways and means COM
mittee, and the answer to the sugges-
ton that a nonpartisan commission
of experts be appointed to consider
changes in the tariff to meet condi-
tons that will arise after the war.
Judge Hull declared that the United
States need not fear competition from
Europe after the war, because the peo-
pie of the European nations will be
too much engaged building up their al.
most ruined industries.
THE devastation being wrought in
Europe by the war will render un-
necessary any changes in tariff laws
in this country for the next ten or
twenty years, because there can be
no serious competition with the prod
ucts of this country" explained Mr.
Hull.-Washingto Post.

SEPARATOR is USEFUL
Invention Has Helped to RevoIu-
tionize Dairy Business.
One Great Advantage Is Capitalization
of Industry-Whole-Mi Plant
and Swimming Stations Are
Fast Disappearing.

[By ]. M. CADWALLADER, Louisiana
Experiment Station.)
The cream separator is one OF the
great inventions that has helped to
revolutionize the dairy business. It's
effect has been especially noticeable
upon the butter industry. It's ten
dency has been to lower the quality of
butter but this is not due to any fault
in the principle Of the cream separa-
tor but chiefly to the lack of proper
care of the separator and in ham
ding the cream. One great advantage
resulting from the use of the sepa-
rator is Capitalization Of the dairy
business, and the whole-milk plant

Ing.
Milk should be separated at tenn
perature Of IS to 80 degrees and
separation can be accomplished best
as soon as the milk is drawn from
the COW, for at that time 1t has a
temperature near SO degrees. There
may be some makes of separators
which will separate at lower tenn
perature than others, but the same
machine will do more efficient work
at higher temperature.
Since bacteria are the cause OF the
souring of milk and cream and they
have a luxuriant growth at high
temperature, especially the undesira-
BILE kinds, the cream should be cooled
as soon as possible to so degrees or
lower, preferably 80 degrees F. This
can be accomplished by passing the
cream over special apparatus made
for that purpose or, in case there Is
only a small amount of cream, 1t may
be placed in a tin vessel of some
kind and this vessel placed in cold
running water, or ice water is prefer
able. All containers or utensils which
come in contact with the milk should
be washed thoroughly with boiling
water and allowed to sun and air
when not in use.
The mornings cream should be
cooled to the same temperature as the
evenings cream and then they can be
mixed without injury to the keeping

ishing of the horse producing ability

The diversion of any considerable
number of mares from the produc
ton of the horse kind to the produc
ton of mules, a nonproducing ami
NAL, must sooner or later result in a
great dearth of horses. The mule
colt fever is spreading and farmers
everywhere are talking the desirable
ity of mule raising just because the
mule colt is a ready seller at good
price. 1t is well to keep in mind that
increased production of mules means
decreased production of horses as a
producing proposition. - Twentieth

Secretary Garrison's Position.

A secretary of war who believes in
military efficiency and who is genuine
ly interested in army affairs is the
best to have. Mr.. Garrison may have
more extreme views concerning army
increase and reorganization than the
president and some of the Democratic
leaders in congress, but he will ac-
complish something by staying, even
if his plans should not be accepted
in their full scope. The president
is turning his attention to the whole
subject of military defense, with elab-
crate reports from the war and navy
departments to guide him. The war
secretary's period of chief usefulness
is still to come.-Springfield Repub

The demand throughout the country
for better coast defenses and for ade-
quate military and naval equipment Is
not partisan in its aspiration or intent,
and any disposition on the part OF ma

plored. If Colonel Roosevelt is really

NEW LOAN SHARK BILL :.
FOR PENNSYLVANIA

HARRISBURG, Pa, April 23.-A
new loan shark bill, aimed to correct
the flaws the supreme court recently
pointed out in declaring ~unconstitu-
tlonal the statue Of two years ago, has
been introduced in the state tssembly.
The bill regulates the loaning of
moneys In sums Of $500: or less, either
with or without security. In the ure-
amble it is asserted that because of
extortion on the part Of loan sharks
borrowers often have to pay interest
and other charges to the exten of be-
tween 100 and 800 per cent or: more;
that through intimidation and ignor-
ance borrowers have to pay many
times the amount actually due :
,. Those engaged, in the lending bust
ness after the passage of this act
would pay q license fee. of $50 and
transact their business under the su..
pervislon of the state banking com
missioner. "A $1,000 bond would be
required. Interest charges would be.
up to. $100, 3 per cent month: be-
tween 500 and 5000, 2 per cent a
month: in addition to- which there
would be a. small examination fee.
Charges in excess of these figures
wuold entitle the borrower to recover
the excess and to receive a. $50 bonus,
which would be penalty on the
lender. Drastic penalties are pro-
vided. - =: :
