the negro in absolute political sub
lection
The white Democrats of Mississippi
whom Mr.. Williams represents ex-
clusively in the Senate-hold and for
a long time have held the negro pop
ulation Of that state in a condition of
subjugation far worse than anything
which has ever been attempted in the
Philippines. In Mississippi, in 1910,
there was a white population of
100000 and a negro population a lit
tie rising a million. Yet, in 1912, the
total vote of Mississippi was only a
little more than 64,000-almost ex-
clusiyely white and almost exclusive
ly Democratic because of the politi-
cal bondage in which Senator Will
liams and his party have held the
Mississippi negro.
In the Philippines there are some
200, 900 voters-who are represented
in Congress by two delegates who
cannot vote. Yet Mississippi has two
Senators and eight Representatives
in Congress-all of whom can vote,
three of whom hold important chair
manships, and others of whom are
upon such great committees as those
on ways and means, military affairs,
agriculture and appropriations.
This representation and this power
are secured by Mississippi Democrats
because they continue to count the
negroes of their state for the purpose
of making up their quota of Con-
gressmen and electoral votes, while
refusing to permit them to vote or to
have their votes counted. Senator
Williams expresses large solicitude
for the brown men in the Philippines,
but he has no word of sympathy for
the black man in Mississippi. He
wants the hand of domination re-
moved from the Filipino in Manila,
but he maintains a political strangle-
hold on the throat of the black man
in Mississippi. He wants to let go
of the brown race in the Pacific. but
he insists that he shall hold on to the
black race on the Gulf in order to
swell his W political importance
and that of his state.
Some day a Republican Congress
will be courageous enough to take
UP this question of Southern repre-
sentation and deal with it as the Con
stitution authorizes.

THE WHOLE C

Leaf by leaf the Republican candi-
date for the Presidency is turning
the pages of the record made by the
Wilson administration-and is shred
ding them. Before Mr.. Hughes pres
ent trip is ended he will have taken
up the whole wretched story of the
years of Democratic rule and will
have exposed the hopeless and help
less inefficiency of the great sham
which is hiding behind the limsy
T labelled HE kept us out of
war"
This we count as the first stage of
the Hughes campaign. Honest criti-
cism, b~uttressed by incontrovertible
eyidenee-such as that produced in
the Durand case-will pave the way
fer a second phase, which will in
yolve a comparison of this faltering
record with that made by the Repub-
lican party during the years when it
was entrusted with responsibility and
power in national affairs.
The road will then be clear for the
third, conclusive and convincing
chapter in the record-the exposition
of the Republican platform of 1916
and the demonstration of Mr.. Hughes
belief in and fidelity to that docu-
ment's declarations.
Thus, the campaign of 1916 will be
fought-and won-by Hughes on the
whole record, the record of himself
and of his opponent, the record of his
party and his opponents.

Il understand that Representative
Fitzgerald, our sole and only commit
tee chairman from the North, wanted
his district leader appointed U. S.
House to ask it of the President. Mr..
Wilson declared that under no con-
dition whatsoever would he appoint
a district leader to such a position.
Later on he did appoint three district
leaders of New York as U. S. mar
shals. FitZy's man thought he had
beer trifed with and began to strop
his razor for Fitzgerald. For a time
it looked as if John wasn't going to
have a look-in for reelection, but he
has proved to the satisfaction of his
henchman that he did all he could
to bring his appointment about, and
now the carving will be done on the
political anatomy of Woodrow
Senator O'Gorman is hot under
the collar because Congress is going
to double the income tax law. He be-
lieves that New York state has been
taxed about enough, and considering
that my state paid $68,O0O,00 of the
5000, 000, 900 collected from the war
tax, corporation and income taxes, l
quite agree with him. We do not
relish the idea of being taxed TO
build southern roads, having con-
structed all our own, nor do we like
to contribute several millions of dol
lars or so for the reclamation of
lands in Mississippi and Louisiana,
as provided for in the flood control
bill, dig up a few million as u share
for a $20.0O0,0O goyernment-owned
nitrate plant to be located in Tennes-
see. Judge O'Gorman may return TO
the bench, but Mr.. Wilson will never
be able to utilize him as a pinch
hitter.
while in New York City / asked
several Tammany leaders if they
would support Wilson. oh, we will
be regular they replied. On ques-
tioning them further l found that
their notion of being regular is TO
sit down and take it easy on election
day, and not disturb the boys Up

. WEAPON THAT HURTS

The work of organizing a woman's
party continues vigorously. defying
the groans of frightened politicians,
defying precedent itself. The Con-
g%ressional Union for Woman Suffrage
has at last found a weapon that
hurts. The success of the
movement so far is abundantly indi-
Gated by the restlessness in Washing
ton. Since Mr.. Hughes declared for
the suffrage amendment and the suf-
fragists began plotting against Will
son, the administration is distinctly
on the defensive. Mr.. Wilson, while
adhering to his idea Of states rights,
hastens to assure the suffragists he
will do all in his power to advance
the through state legislation.
But Wilson can do nothing, and he
knows it. Suffrage has %outgrown
state legislation now.
Mr.. Wilson's loving letter to the
Colorado suffragists, in which he
speaks of every influence" is not
swallowed gratefully by Colorado
women. The Suffragist, official or
gan of the Congressional Union, tears
the Wilson letter to pieces in an edi-
torial headed More Phrases From
Wilson"
The s~uffragists don't want phrases.
They want action. They have the Re
publican candidate on their side and
with a Republican Congress they
would feel sure of early action on the
amendment. The whole dictionary
couldn't win suffrage support for
Wilson this year.-Boston (MasS.)

writer of Auburn, N. Y.
"The treatment which Tammany
has received at the hands of Presi-
dent Wilson has estranged that or
ganization beyond hope of reconcile
alton. The business men are disgust

tactics; the farmers appreciate what

of a tariff law which put all
their products on the free list, and
they complain bitterly OF the demon
~alization of the rural free delivery

pleased to call the man in the street

deluded victim of his own rhetoric,

Philippines bill there was an inter-

course of which Senator John Sharp

conviction that one rae has no right
to hold another in subsection and said
that he had done everything in his
power to let the Filipino people go.

HOGS RUNNING IN ORCHARD
Unless Animals Are Well Hinged They
viii Do Much Damage by Expos
ing Roots of Trees.

Much is said and written nowadays
concerning the disease and insect
pests affecting the orchard While
many orchards are quite rapidly ap-
preaching extinction for one cause or
another. there is one cause that is
seldom mentioned. as it appears to be
generally overlooked. That is the con-
tinual pasturing of the orchards by
hogs.
Formerly it was the practice Of pro-
fessional fruit growers to allow their
swine free and untrammeled range in
the orchard. In fact, some raised hogs
for this purpose, rather than any pos
sible profit to be derived from pork
production, believing that the roofing
and tearing that the hogs are capable
of doing would be beneficial in the
way Of cultivating and mulching the
trees, and destroying injurious insects.
However, most of them have discov-
cred that although the hogs destroy
many harmful insects. the good done
in this way, unless the hogs are we'll
ringed is many times overbalanced
by the damage done to the trees in
tearing up and exposing the roots to
the weather. The little rootlets are
very palatable and nutritious and as
good as a grain ration They make a
splendid change of diet for the hog,
but are rather expensive feed.
The time has come when science
has developed to such an extent that
the hog Is no longer needed in orchard
management. In this day the posted
fruit grower can overcome or at least
largely prevent the ravages of orchard
pests and flies. The time has long ar
rived when there is no money in try
ing to grow fruit without giving par
ticular attention to these features. All
fruit growers, whether specialists or
general farmers. should post them
selves and keep abreast of the process
sion, They Nill lose money by getting
behind.

Keep OYSTERS by FREEZING.

Preserving shell oysters in cold
storage has been successfully tried by
Capt Frederick Ockers of West Say
VILE, New York.
Il am convinced that frozen oysters
will live for a great length of time"
he SAYS, They will practically be in
a state of suspended animation and
can be kept indefinitely until wanted.
Then they may be gradually thawed
back to life"
Captain Ockers' idea is that during
suspended animation their condition
will be similar TO that OF the frog
frozen in cake OF ice. Captain Ock-
ers believes that oysters can be put
into the freezer in April or any other
time when they are in prime condi-
tion and held for . favorable market
He has made successful experiments
UP to six weeks, and believes that Il
an oyster can be frozen for six weeks
and still live the process may be ex-
tended indefinitely

SALT A VALUABLE SEASONING
Stimulates Appetite of Hogs and APP
pears to Improve Taste-Anirals
Relish Charred Cobs.

1t has been determined that salt is
valuable seasoning for the feed of
hogs. though only limited amount is
required. 1t acts as stimulater of
the appetite and appears to improve
the taste of the animal, just the same
as it does human being. 1t aids in
digestion and in general increases the
energy of the vital process and is
greatly relished.
When charred cobs are fed to pigs
they appreciate them much more
when then are sprinkled with salt. If
you feed a STOP ration it should have
little seasoning of salt in it. The
effects of a mild seasoning of salt in
the food are beneficial as tonic and
