INDEPENDENT VOTERS HOUR OF TRIUMPH

Your independent is to politicians undesirable citizen most of the time, but there is short period every four years when he becomes of the finest fellows going This is when his support is sought and competed for by contendng parties and rival candi dates
 Then they seek to outstrip each other in his praise What splendid thing it is to have body of citizens who folio wtheir judgment in politics and vote only for the they think the best--that is, provided that he is OUR man! And how fine it is to have organizations apart from the regular parties which will offer raying point for good citizens who cannot bring themselves to alliance with dis reputable political machine-meaning the machine of the other side
 The result is that independent Hughes alli- ance is fairly gushed by regular republicans while the Woodrow Wilson Independent League gets certificate of character from the president himself We don't think that all this sudden counting of Inde pendents will make them spiritually proud. They know pretty well what 1t is worth. Having paid the price of being independent when 1t is unpopular to be so they will not set too much store their pres ent coddlng.

Raspberry Jam

The officers the regular military establishment who in command of the national guardsmen on the Mexican border have from time time resented statements that citizen soldiers given proper attention particularly in the matter of rations Usually the criticism has been voiced by newspaper correspondents the guardsmen themselves having made very few complaints for publication. Now it appears from letter the New York Times. written by officer of Brooklyn regiment that the men have a genuine grievance for which it would appear the officers regular army be justly held responsible Here is his complaint:

It is matter of interest to learn that of the applicants for the injunction is self confessed bootlegger one so caught with the goods that he pleaded guilty and took his medicine.

Mr. Hughes Then and Now

The New York World is the foremost the thick and thin advocate of the national adminstra ton. It is the one paper which can nothing good in Mir Hughes It is the leader of the democratic press fight against him. Recently the World pro pounded the following list of questions intended haps much for the embarrassment of MT. Hughes give to voters false impression of his affiliations:
 Why is Wall street for Mir. Hughes?
 Why the great financial interests that still plotting to substitute central bank for the federal reserve system for Hughes?
 Why the tariff monopolists for Hughes?
 Why the trusts for Hughes? etc. etc
 Unfortunately for the World, it answered these questions in substance in MT, Hughes favor six years ago. On May 3, ls1O he was appointed associ ate justice of the supreme court of the United States The day, the World took occasion to say:
 If Mir Hughes mental leanings' friendly to the conspracies he has certainly succeed ed nobly in withstanding his prejudices. It he who as counsel for the legislative gas committee had most to do with securing 80 cent for New York. It he who counsel for the insurance investga ton forced the splendid reform of life insurance law and methods in this state and to extent through out the country He did both things against the practically united opposition of the money power.
 Governor Hughes drafted the law forbiddng p0rations contribute campaign funds.
 For his distinguished and conspicuous service and in securing better control of great spiracies" Governor Hughes need fear comparison
  or however heavily armed with political power.
 On May IT the World said:
 He (Air Hughes) dictated nominations, troled convention, trafficked in patronage; made bargains with office holders office seekers He has rewarded nobody for supporting him and punished nobody for opposing him. What in- fluence he has wieded public opinion has come through his appeals to the voters themselves.
 The World thought so highly of Mir Hughes that July of the year it said of him:
 He a fitted for any office of public trust"
 In the foregoing MT. Hughes his retirement from political life Is given clean bill Of health any public may desire. What has he done since the disapprobaton of the World? He has taken part in politics He has handed down many decisions none of which. believe have been criticised by the World. We believe his decisions have been approved by all who have had occasion to comment upon them with the exception of that learned. that most profound expounder of the law that dearest visioned apostle of Justice. the Hon. sam Gompers.
 Since May 3, 1910, and since July IT of that year Mir. Hughes has committed act identifying him. self with Wall street, with the great financial inter whom the World then declared be free and independent In six years Mir Hughes has far any evidence shows, become friendlier to trusts and monopolies than he was May B. 1910. when the World declared that he had rendered dis tingushed and conspicuous service in securing better control of great trust conspiracies."

The Other Way

So long liquor be brought into the state for personal use prohibition in Arizona will not pro- hibit. That has been made very clear. Our prohibi ton law as it was drawn and as it has been inter preted and do doubt that the interpretation is fails put the state under the protection of the Webb Kenyon law, without which prohibition completely successful anywhere It to be nearly so in Kansas where rigid state legisla tion reinforced the simple prohibition enactment
 It Is true that have been rid of the open saloon and that temptation has, to that extent been removed from hundreds, perhaps generally, from those who could the least afford spend their for booze. But we sometimes think that hard liquor" has been consumed in Arizona within the last six months than during any six months of the open saloon Certainly liquor has been widely dis trbuted than 1t before. It is more easily pro- cured by minors young boys and girls. than during the saloon regime.
 We find that in seeking prohibition we have made the mistake of going far enough. But do not turn back On the contrary want go ahead until have brought the state under the pro- visions of the Webb Kenyon law. That is proposed in the amendment offered by the state temperance federation It is to be done simply by making 1t unlawful for to possess liquor Then it will be unlawful under the Webb Kenyon law bring 1t into the state except for such purposes designated in the amendment.
 But 1t Is uncertain whether the amendment can be adopted. It could be, doubt, if full express sion of the people could be secured It would be if vigorous campaign that of two years ago possible But anyway the friends of prohibition with out relaxing their efforts in behalf of the amendment have another. and easier of arriving at the end and that is by using their influence elect members of the legislature pledged to enact a law making the possession of liquor in the state unlawful The Webb Kenyon act would then apply.

The New Farming

Mr.. Sam Stone, following the
lines laid down by Americas
greatest scientific agriculturist,
has put two tons of ground lime
stone and one ton of ground
phosphate rock of each on Is
acres of his fine farm near this
city. The fifteen acres is now
in peas and soy beans and waist
high. The entire crop will be
turned under and put in barley
and crimson clover. This will
be turned under in the spring
of 1917 and put in corn. Good
judges believe it will make Is
barrel 10 the acre, The land
has rein forced with lime,
pho and nitrogen will be
rich ream, This phosphate
and lime rock will cost him about
81 per acre. 1t is believed that
every dollar invested in this
manner will make at a small
estimate a thousand per cent
clear profit each year and the
rock in the soil will last ten
years. Mr.. George Danke tells
US that several carloads of lime
phosphate rocks have been or
dered recently by farmers in
this vicinity. - u nj on City

This New Farming" is good
when it is understood that a bar
rel is five bushels. This is on a
fine farm, said to be worth 5000
to $3.50 per acre. In contrast
wi tn Mississippi farming it
means little. Boys under fif-
teen have done better here, and
at less expense. Were the far
mers of this section to prepare
their land and fertilize to the
extent Mr.. Stone has it would
be easy to grow half as much
more to the acre and that too on
land now worth less than $50
per acre.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have a rumbng
sound or imperfect hearing, and when Ii is
entirely closed, Deafness Is the result, and
unless the inflamma alton can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal condi-
ton, hearing will be DESTROYED forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh
which is nothing but an inf1amed condition
of the mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

DAISIES
By M. BENNINGTON.

No flower in all the garden series is
more beloved than the star-eyed daisy,
or marguerite. And perhaps no
flower has undergone a more decided
improvement than this same flower,
which fills the meadow spaces with its
nodding white and in better soil looks
statelier from the garden path.
The daisy should have place in
the garden. They make delightful Dor
ders to beds of taller-growing ANNALS,
and can be used very effectively in
beds of spring blooming bulbs.
Daisies may be sown at intervals for
succession. in shallow boxes of light,
rich soil. Cover the seed to about
three times their own thickness, and
press the soil firmly over them. Keep
the box in a warm window, greenhouse
or hotbed.
Transplant to new boxes and set out
in the open ground when danger from
frost is past Daisies can be sown
in beds outside in August or Septem-
Der. They must be protected with
straw or litter through the winter and
transplanted to their permanent posi-
ton in the spring.
The orange daisy, South African
orange daisy. has become a great ia
vorite. 1t was introduced a few years
ago and has been made much of at the
flower shows and is used largely on
big estates 1t is excellent for Dor
ders and as a pot-plant

THE BEAUTY OF HYDRANGEAS
BY LIMA r. ROSE.

One of the best late Towering. hardy
shrubs is the hydrangea.
While there are other shrubs that
| like better this one seems to be q
favorite with the masses. 1t has the
merit of extreme hardness, easy cul-
ture, great Righteousness, late bloom
ing and persistency.
It's flowers lose their early white
ness as the season advances, but in
their pinky brown stage they are not
without attractiveness, and even after
snow comes they afford pleasing eff
fects when seen against background
of pure white.
In planting the hydrangeas, would
never advise using them singly. They
are vastly more effective when
grouped. BY this means we secure
for it a strength and dignity which
single specimens never have Plant
ed thickly this plant produces grand
effect.
Those who are in search of a plant
that will grow in any soil and under
almost any condition, and has hardi-
ness enough to withstand the trying
ordeal of the severest northern win
ter. will find the hydrangea the very
thing they are looking for
