The vote by political parties
at the present session was as fol-
lows: For the bill Republicans,
81; Democrats, Is; Washington, l.
Against the bill-Republicans,
1O3; Democrats, rs.
If you care to analyze the vote,
it will be seen that about 81 per
cent. of each of the two old par
ties voted for it. From this there
can be but one deduction, name
ly, that both parties are "tarred
with the same stick" and that
each party's members are 69 per
cent daubed.
We are by no means ready to
admit that the table of votes in
dicates the wishes of a majority
of the people. Bipartisan cliques
are too we'll understood to-
day to admit of any argument
that the people get what they
want. The refusal of the bi-par-
tisian cliques to permit the peo-
ple to vote on the liduor question
by county units, proves that they
knew in advance that any such
move would prove the downfall
of the liquor interest in the state
The depreciation of distillery and
brewery stocks, and the conse-
quent recent wrecking of brew
cry banks on account of the prog
ress prohibition is making in
other states, proves that the vote
does not indicate the peoples
choice. AS for the excuses offer
ed by representatives that they
voted according to the election
pledges, there is no moral OBJ
legation upon any man to redeem
a pledge made to debauch man.
kind. If a contract with the dev-

mong thieves" is but an imagi-
nary quantity. There is no such
thing. What they mistakenly
call honor" is fear of personal
nothing more. Consldera-
ton for the other fellow has
nothing whatever to do in
the case. Every vestige of
seeming consideration goes glim-
mering the moment his own hide
is threatened. It's the kind of
honor" wolves feel for each 9TH

one of the number be slain, the

der contract with the devil does
not break the contract is because
he prefers to remain in that class
even though the whole civilized
world is holding out better in
ducements. For a newspaper of
pretentious aspirations to crow
over the redemption" of Demo
cratic and Republican pledges of
some of the members of the pres
ent General Assembly, is to be-
smirch its own white paper.

The Local Option Vote.

AS told in a brief notice last
week, local option was again de-
feated in the General Assembly.
The vote against it was greater,
and the vote for it was less, than
at some of the previous sessions,
as the following table will show:

ask pay for the wheat killed by the
neighbours Hessian flies?
Get together. Every neighborhood
should have farmers Club, and ap-
point Hessian Fly Committee.
WHAT TO DO RIGHT NOW.
Out the Wheat high, above the Sec
ond joint Remove the grain from
the field and stack it somewhere else.
The fly is now in the resting stage
and the safest way and only sure plan
is for every farmer to plow every
acre deeply and thoroughly within
two weeks after harvest, turning un-
der the stuble completely and then
dragging early. This will fix Mr.. Fly.
Team work is necessary. Teach the
school children to look for the Fly,
and report it at every stage. Appoint
Captain in every school district, who
should be the best wheat grower in
the neighborhood.
This early complete plowing will
not only reduce the Fly, but will be a
great benefit to next Year's crop. 1t
does not let the field dry cut after
harvest, and gets it ready to hold all
the moisture which,is SO badly needed
in most sections. 1t is stated that
other things being equal, three acres
plowed in July are worth five acres
plowed in September.

that exists in this region that may be

The Price of Lead.
(From The Farmington News,

(From The Harrington News.)
A war market has forced the price
.of lead up during the past few weeks
to s cents a pound, the highest it has
been since the Civil War Yesterday,
it is reported, there was big break in
the market, the price dropping to IA
cents Even at this figure the price is
very high and if it continues long at
this price, or higher, it shouldsand no
doubt will mean sharp increase in
wages throughout the district.
From reliable source we learned
few days ago that one of the local
companies just recently sold the
French government fourteen train
loads of lead. This was shipped by
rail to Galveston, Texas. This indi-
Gates the cause of the big increase in
the price of the metal. The bullets
used in the European war have very
thin steel jacket, but are probably
nine -tenths lead. Undoubtedly the
delay in the raise in the lead market
has been due to large extent to the
great quantities of ammunition had
on hand by the countries at war when
fighting began. Recently large orders
for ammunition have been placed
in this country and this with the rapid
rise in the lead market would indicate
that that the supply of ammunition
in Europe was running low.
