7N years gone by millions have
been spent in the United States
in the purchase of Easter lilies
i'm bulbs. in plants and in cut
flowers. and by far the greater portion
of these millions have gone out of the
country. But recently the Department
of Agriculture has been doing all in
It's power to keep these millions with
In its own borders by giving domestic
growers the opportunity of raising
Easter lilies at home.
Experiments carried on through the
department have been entirely sue
ccssful. proving not only that Easter
l''ies can be grown satisfactorily in
this country. but also that portions of
this continent are better suited to
their growth than the countries orig
inally producing them.
The government scientist who for
the past ten years has been experi-
menting with Easter lily culture is Mr..
George w. Oliver. expert in plant
breeding for the Department of Aeri-
culture.

lilies here than can be grown in either

recently. We have proved it through
our experiments in this department
and growers following our methods In
various parts of the country have
found that the Easter lily can be
grown very profitably here. so that
a great deal of money which has been
going out of the country can be kept
at home.

Anybody wishing to acquaint him
self with what is going on before
various committees OF Congress, now
holding hearings, will have to be
present at the hearings, depend on
newspaper reports, or wait an In
definite time before printed copy
o the hearings is available. Hear
ings on the government ship purchase
bill had been going on for days be-
fore the proceedings became avail
ablo TO the public, and there Is COM
plant, OF delay on the part OF other
committees In publishing their hear
ings. The committees blame the de-
lay to the public printer, and the pub
lie printer declares that tho commits
tees do not send him the copy
promptly. In 1908 and 1909. with a
Republican Congress In charge, the
why's and means committee held
hearings on the tariff, and the hear

Charles Sumner birds candidacy
for Republican delegate-at-large 10
the Chicago convention definitely
aligns Mr.. Bird with the Republican
party in this years campaign, AS an
honorable man Mr.. Bird cannot take
part in the Republican primaries in
Massachusetts unless he intends to
abide by the results-not only as they
may affect his candidacy as delegate
but as they may affect the action of
the convention in which he seeks to be
n member.
This conclusion is by no means
weakened by the recollection that Mr.
Bird holted the action of the Chicago
convention of 1912 after he had par
ticipated in the Massachusetts, Repub-
llcan primaries Of that year. Four
years ago there were many highly
controycrted incidents in the nomlnat-
ing convention which gave color to the
excuse upon which the Progressive
ticket was later put into the field. This
year there will be nothing of that kind.
The delegates to this years conven-
ton are not being chosen in the midst
Of great political excitement. They arc
being elected in primaries and con-
ventIons, very largely by agreement,
and always with the thought of max
ing UP a convention Of the most rep
reseutative Republicans to be found

deliberattye capacity to do the best

Is Wilson Pledged?

So desperate did the case of Mr..
Wilson become before the McLemore
resolution was taken up in the House,
that administration senators put into
circulation a report that they had
procured from him a definite pledge
that no matter what happened. he
would neither undertake punitive
measures against Germany nor even
sever diplomatic relations with that
country until after he had laid the
facts before the foreign relations COM
mittee and received its advice.
Whether this was merely trick
to gain votes from wavering Demo-
Gratis or whether the pledge was ac-
tually given cannot be asserted. But.
IN the opinion of many Republicans,
such a pledge would be worthless
anyway unless executed In writing
and signed by Mr.. Wilson r. the pres
enoe Of witnesses-and quite posi-
bly, even then.

bo protected before they invest mill

party In Congress Is tcmporiZing With
this proposition, fearful that favor
able action will mean reversal OF
their tariff policy and an endorse

know that such action absolutely en-
dorsns the great cardinal principle
of the Republican party and this Is
why they hesitate"

says the Charleston Post. President
Wilson would have gained the conf
dencG Of the country more fully for his
own preparedness program had he
selected for the war portfolio some
leader less identified than Mr.. Baker
with the peace-at-any-prlce policy OF
the BryaniC wing of the Democratic
party.
Secretary Brewster OF the commit
tee Of mayors on natural defense
which met recently at st. Louis, at
which meeting Mayor Breeze, of
Charleston, expressed his approval
Of the work of the National Security
League. makes the following state
ment rs to the attitude Of the newly
appointed secretary of war=on the
subject of national preparedness:
II organized twenty-five states for
the National Security League, and Wis
tied twenty-five or twenty-three cities
for tho mayors committee on that
question.
II called on Newton D. Baker in
the latter part of July, he then being
mayor of Cleveland. He was the first
mayor had called on in starting the
organization work of the league. l
asked him to cooperate in organizing
the sentiment Of preparedness in
Cleveland.
AHe refused absolutely to cooper
ate, because he said he was a pacifist,
and was opposed to the agitation for
preparedness. He considered the move
ment based on hysteria, and that 1t
was manufactured war scare.
II protested, and indicated to him
that IL did not proceed from any spec
les of hysteria. but was based on
calm, practical impulses of thoughtful
citizens who had investigated the con-
dition of our defenses and were de-
termined to conduct campaign OF
education throughout the country
looking to the strengthening of these
defenses.
HE thought the movement might
tend to arouse n militarist spirit.
explained it was not militarism in
any sense. but was organized patriot
ism, and the whole spirit OF America
was vigorously opposed to the mill
tarist spirit and that we were only
endeavoring to organize sentiment
for preparedness against war.
"He refused positively to have any
thing to do with the movement, re-
asserting emphatically his entire OPP
position to any agitation on the. sub
ject Of national defense.
"It occurs to me that we need ms
