WHO Will BE NEXT
PRESIDENT DEPENDS
ON HOW TIMES ARE

ST. PAUL. Mimi, July If
next year brings prosperity and
the country is kept out OF war, no
power on earth can defeat Wood
row Wilson.
This Is the opinion of Moses f.
Clapp, U. s. senator from Mime
sofa.
On the other hand, IL times con-
tinue as hard as. they were last
fall. 1t is Clapp's opinion that the
stand-pat republicans will have
things very much their own way.
AS evidence of this, the Mime
sofa senator cites the election re-
turns OF last fall in Pennsylvania
That state, he says, had under
gone a wonderful moral awaken
Ing; but under the pressure of
scarce work and small profits it
reversed its Roosevelt majority
of two years before and endorsed
Boies Penrose.
Would Keep Party Alive.
In spite of these political pre-
dictions, Senator Clapp is strong
for the progressive party. and
strong for holding 1t together.
Senator Clapp believes that
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1915-07-01

there is a psychological danger of
business depression associated
with the democratic party. The
same kind of a tariff revision done
by republicans would not depress
business in the same way that 1t
does when the democrats do the
revising.
Senator Clapp thinks the prohi-
bition issue may prove to be i'm
portant in the next presidential
campaign.
Dry Issue Here to Stay.
The prohibition movement to-
day." he says, differs from that
movement in other times. There
is no hysteria nor excitement
about it. 1t is simply calm. de-
liberate judgment on the part of
the American people that the sa-
loon is a menace. | am inclined
to think it is here to stay"
Senator Clapp has heard talk of
Gov Hiram w. Johnson as leader
of the progressives in case the re-
publicans decide to name some
man like Weeks or Root. He be-
lieves Johnson would prove a
good leader and would poll con-
siderable vote.

CITY AGREES
To CUT Rates
To The PARKS

Tacoma's city council debated
for more than an hour today the
request of the Metropolitan park
board that the city furnish light
and water at cost to the parks.
1t was agreed to furnish cost
rates to the parks, and engineers
were ordered to prepare data re-
garding the exact cost prices.
The park board will be given
city water for Point Defiance
park. Heretofore II has been
supplied by private company.
In order to obtain city water, a
10-inch main will be laid across
Ruston, and the cost will be met
from advance payments on water.
This is a subterfuge, although
legal. necessitated because the
park board cannot technically
spend money outside of its parks.
The revenue will be over $4,000
a year, and the cost will be ST.
600. Water will be sold by the
city to Point Defiance and other
parks at approximately 3.S cents
per 100 cubic fet.
o The council also decided that
the park board was being un-
justly dealt with in the light de-
partment's demand for retail
rate on lights in Wright park, and
voted to let the park light cleo
tricity be sold at absolute cost,
Although the rates on light and
water are lowered, Secretary
Cover of the park board an
nounced that the parks would
probably use enough more water
and light to make up the differ
ence.

TO RE|NSTATE FOOTBALL
Bethany College Will Permit Gridiron
Sport Again Next Fall.

Lindsborg, Kan, May 27-Ever
since 1905, when football was put I'M
der the ban as college sport at Beth
any, there have been made from time
to time attempts to have the game re-
1nstated- Recently sentiment again
became strong and once more the call
FOR the game was heard.
The need of this fall game has been
apparent every fall, and therefore it is
not surprising that the college board
acted favorably on the question at
their meeting held here last week.
Their decision was unanimously in ia
Vor OF the game. There are. however.
some provisions that must be OBJ
served before drawing the conclusion
that the question has been fully passed
upon.
AS matter of courtesy it is the in
tent1on of the board to address a COM
mun1caton to the other schools of the
synod having college departments in
order to ascertain their sentiment in
regard to football and whether or not
they are in favor of the reinstatement
of the game as an intercollegiate
sport The board also made it known
that 1T reserved the right to act indie
pendently of any decision made at 9TH
er schools.

NO USE TO BURN sTUBBLE.
Won't Kill Hessian Fly and Will De-
stroy Valuable Plant Food.

Manhattan, Kan, May 27.-'Don't
burn your wheat Stubble or straw
stacks this summer Tor the purpose of
destroying the HesSian fly. The burn
ing of the stubble or wheat straw in
the stacks not only fails to destroy the
fly but will lead to the destruction of
organic matter and plant food worth
millions of dollars says L. E. Call
State Agricultural college.
There is no danger of increa sing
the injury from the Hessian fly by
spreading straw as top dressing upon
the field. The top dressing of straw
upon the field does not furnish winter
protection to the fly. Wheat which
has been infested with the jointworm
and the greater wheat strawworm in
large numbers should not be spread on
the field. These insects make their
presence known by the large number
of white heads in the field. If there
was large number of white heads of
wheat in your field do not spread the
straw on the field. This infested
straw, however, may be used as a top
dressing on corn ground if the straw
be worked into the ground early in the
spring.
1.-The best method OF controlling the
Hessian fly is to prevent the growth
of volunteer wheat in summer and fall
and to delay the seeding of the wheat
until most of the flies have deposited
their eggs. The best method is to disk
the stubble as quickly as possible after
harvest and to plow the ground deep
after the volunteer wheat Starts
