Washington, June 2.-More import.
ant than killing weeds, says the agri-
culture department in a recent pro
nouncement, is to avoid having weeds
to kill Such evidence is made posi-
Bile by observing the following princi.
pies. l. Prevent weeds from going
to seed on the farm. 2. Prevent weed
seeds being brought to the farm. 3.
In the case of perennial weeds, pre-
vent them from making top growth
and thus finally starve out the under
ground parts
Annal weeds live only one year, ma
turing their seeds and they dying. Bi-
ennial weeds live two years and during
the first year they grow rather slowly,
producing usually tap root and a
rosette of leaves close to the ground

piece of news that came over the wire
from Los Angeles. Cal. A dispatch
says our ex-bandit and ex-candidate
for governor, AL Jennings, has done
gone and got converted. When he
was campaigning in Oklahoma he in
timated that he was about to make a
break in that direction and left the
impression that if he did he would
likely go into the eyangellstic busi-
ness. However, he assured the report
ers in Los Angeles that he had not
given the latter proposition any
thought, and hence Billy Sunday
needn't worry.

1t is generally agreed that Ger
many's answer was not an answer but
chiefly an evasion of the issue, serving
merely to prolong the controversy. II
reports from Washington are to be
credited, the presidents reply will be
quite pointed, leaving no loophole ror
further quibbling. There is no reason
to believe that the administration will
recede from the position taken in
former communications to Germany.
What the final outcome will be, 1t is
impossible to forecast, but at the pres
ent stage, the severance of diplomatic
relations looms up as strong proba-
bility.

Every so often one or another of the
warning nations issues a long state
ment Setting forth the atrocities Of
the other fellows. That there have
been atrocities a-plenty is not to be
doubted but these periodical tales of
woe lose large part Of their value
because Of the fact that they come
from authors who are deeply interest
ed in discrediting the nations crtii-
cized. Our idea is that until we have
reports from impartial and disinter-
ested investigators, 1t is a waste of
time to read these recitals Of horrors.

but the second year they send up flow
er stems that produce seeds and then
die As the biennial and the annual
weeds propagate themselves by seeds
alone il is necessary to observe only
the first two of the principles stated
above in their control.
Perennial weeds, on the other hand,
produce each year underground parts
which live over the next year and pro
duce topgrowth. These weeds propo
gate themselves by their underground
parts as well as by their seeds, and
even if prevented from going to seed
keep ON growing. In dealing with per
ennials, therefore, it is necessary tc
observe all three principles.

Aeroplanes and dirigibles have their
proper place in modern warfare, but
their application to the purpose of
bombarding non-combatants is com
parable only to practices Of the bar

any figure in effecting the results

1t is true that they add an element OF
terrorism to the gigantic struggle but

they do to all civilized standards of

Panama Canal Ira fife.
Providence JOurnal.)

Considering the dislocatiOn or all commerce, and the total eXtlnctloh oA the large proportion under the Iel- man nag, the showing of the dila ili' Canal at the summing-up TOT tne the Governments fiscal year enoihs June thlrtieth is prODaply satlslS Slhs to the auth critics. Indeed, relelehce to the estimates made by various Il"l- nc experts in anticipation ot the open Ing of the canal suggests that the puS- mess for the ten and one-half months of operation is surprisingly large.
 Those who made preliminary calcu- latlons with a view to the pfopaplllly that the waterway might in time re- turn a business profit did not, or course. give serious consideration to th> first years operation It appears, however, that in seVen-elghths or thls year, with conditions slngularly un- favora ble, the aggregate cargoes, east bound and westbound, mounted to 4,969,792 tOns And this is, rOundly, One-half the estimate for maximum average tonnage for some time to come with c''Hrything in good work ing order : .lc calculation was that by 1925 the traffic would reach seven- teen million tons.
 Though, unlike Suez, the Panama canal was not constructed by the gov ernment to make money, it is interest ing to recall that De Lesseps em- parked on it as a business enterprise, and his estimate of cost was approXi- mately the same as the actual invest ment the United States has made. It would be gratifying if, in time, the business should be sufficient to liquid- ate the four hundred millions put into the waterway, but, meanwhile, there will be no concern aOOut that. AS a public improvement, with possibilities of inestimable service, the canal is worth what it cost, and it is sufficient ground for satisfaction that it has been built out of the national income tn ough bonds have been authorized.
 An annual tonnage of fifteen million would probably cover everything, cost of operation, maintenance, deprecia- tion account, interest on capital and amortization. For these ten and one- half months the tolls amounted to $4,- 343,3S3. The canal earned $23O.S33, over and above current expenses of operation and maintenance. With the conclusion of the war it would not be surprising to see a rapid rise in traffic to ten million cargo tons, With annual revenue of about the same number of dollars.

The Failure Which is Success.
(CO11jerS !


 The Universal Ira gedv of Mankind lles Tn the discrepancy between ones ideals and deeds. What we wish to do, what we mean to do, and then what we actually do. Or. more often. alas! what is left undone. Here is the tragedy of aspiration which Whithers and dwindles into inactivity or more eXpendioncy. It was Hamlet's tragedy; it has been the tragedy of every person who has ever walked this earth, from the ha1f-naked sav- age up. If this were all it would mean that there is nothing to be gained by high ambitions and noble purposes. But it is not all There is a vast difference between one who aims at a lofty mark and one who never airms at all. Here are the two alternatives; to take life in glum pass1vlty just because it is difficult and bitter, or to hurl oneself into the struggle with such ardor and couraga that eventual defeat is never con- sldered. It is the attitude of the good soldier ordered out on a "for lorn hope": to do his best while there IS a breath left in him. The wise rhilosopher-and everyone of us must have his philosophy of life "HetHer ne cOnSclOuSly fOrmulateS it or not-aims higher than he can ever nope to attain. "The desire of the moth for tho star" may never helD the little creature to reach it, but at least it will lift him into pure air aboVe the paltry and sinister flicker lngs about him. For here is hope which can mitigate the tra gedy of HVlng for all; true success lies not In attainment, but in the sincere and unremitting struggle to attain.

True American Spirit.
(Waterbury Democrat.)

A few days ago the New York World showed, by documentary evil dence, that the Fatherland-the pro-German, Anti-American maga- zinc published by George Sylvester Viereck-had accepted money from pr. Heinrich Albert, German privy counsellor and financial director of the German propaganda in the Unit ed States. Editor Viereck protested that the sum receipted for in tho published autograph letter. $250, was all he had got from Dr. Albert although his own letter to the Herr Dottor had asked for $l,500 more and seemed to imply that he had previously been receiving similar monthly amounts. Tn any case Viereck insisted, the payment was legitimate. pr. Albert declared: Tt is not true that an effort has at any time been made secretly to influence American public opinion," and that whatever had been done to win American sympathy had been done lin the open" It happens that there is another magazIne published in New York called Fair Play, which las been actively pro-German dur ing the war. It's editor is a Hun garian citizen named Marcus Braun, who is abroad now on a secret mis- sion The New York World of August 21 prints a reproduction of a check for $5,O00 made out to the Fair Play Printing and Publishing company on May 2S, 1915, bearing the signature of "J.

"Busts" More Prcccdents.
{ Meriden Record. )

Under the above forCeful if inele- gant headline an esteemed contenl- Ecrary recounts the "antics' of the president during little trip to Phil s,delphia which he evidently did not put down in the secret service news notebook.
 Before six o'clock in the morning hc was on his way in motor car to Philadelphia for visit to his oculist He returned in the evening by rail in the regular train and was driven to the White House in a hir- ed automobile. As a little diversion while he was away he managed to get lost on the road had luncheon Cnannounccd in the public dining room of a hotel and strolled through the streets of the business section of Philadelphia
 On the surface the story sounds like a little adventure for the presl dent who recently has been the suh- ject for greater sclicitude on the part of police and secret service men than ever before. It is quite within the realm of possibilities that the presi- dent was not quite as alone and in- dependent as would appear from the despatch. Secret service men do not always advertise their presence.
 The president would undoubtedly enjoy the sensation of going his way like any private citizens, but this is not one of the privileges of the chief executive. Now, especially, is it necessary and wise for every precau- ton to be taken since the "atmoS- phere'' is productive of the abnor- nial and poorly balanced minds find that which is conductive to tragedy
 It is undoubtedly a great tempta- tion to the president to assume the role of plain citizen but in justice to the people of the United States whom he has sworn to serve, he cannot af- ford to do it.

of light that has permeated the dark ness of the past week.
 < The Kaiser states that so far he has no official information concerning the sinking of the Arabic and the loss of American lives, and begs the United States government to reserve defln- ate Judgement until such time as he is able to gather data which he hopes ports on the case Surely no less could be asked. The American people are fair minded people. They are patient people. They are prone to hear both sides of any question if the evidence is forthcomong and, if not, they are slow to act. They will welcome it with joy For the German government emphatically states that if American lives have actually lbeen sacrificed the act which snuffed them out was contrary to it's intentions. The con- cluding sentence bears this out It says: '"The German government would deeply regret the fact and beg to tender sincerest sympathies to the
 American governm ent"
 From that it would seem that the way is open for a settlement of the crisis which has been impending be- tween the two governments. If the German government lives up to this note, if it disavows the attack on the Arabic and can prove it's contentious, or if it offers a satisfactory explana- tion, there is no fear of a rupture between the two nations that diplo- matic relations will be severed or that ultimately war will be declared President Wilson has time and again told the Imperial German govern ment just where the United States stands on the much discussed German submarine policy and the German gov ernment knows the feeling of the ] American people. That Germany IS | willing to even go out of her way l to avoid a break is made manifest 1 by this timely communication. The | honor and dignity of the United l States must be upheld whatever the outcome and it is to be hoped that the two governments can get to- l serious break.
