Candidate Hughes has finally made few remarks
about the Danbury hatters case explaining it by saying
jury tried the and the court could not where
the jury had made any errors" Now while this is far
from satisfactory for it shows the court could not find
any justice either in the findings of the jury from its
own intelligence will he kindly throw little light the
OregonC California land grant case? Will he explain how
the company had has grant in fee simple, with
diton to it? Will he explain how it, as the court held
bound under the terms of the grant to sell the lands
to settlers in quantities not to exceed 100 and at
price not to exceed $3.50 per acre; but time had
been fixed in the granting act in which these sales should
be made that the company need not sell the lands at ALL
We submit that Mr. Hughes could enlighten the public
on this subject without embarrassing the president"
Will he do it?

THE HIGH COST OF DYING

The High Cost of Living has rival in the High
Cost of Dying. This account of the war; which from
any reasonable viewpoint it seems should make dying
cheaper and much convenient All drugs, and the
alcohol which is used in preserving them have advanced
in price tremendously and even the bottles as well as the
corks for them way up in price The printed label
which tells you how and when to tackle the deathchasing
dope costs double what it did before the The purple
coored string which in place all aboard the

written and the lead in the pencil cost more because peo
pie over in Europe are engaged in effort to EXTERN
mate each other and the cedar which encoses the
lead it is desired by should be made to cost more by
preventing the wood grown in Canada from competing
with that from this country The bulb on the dropper
with which you out the dose prescribed is al
feced by the and is in the High Cost family The
spoon too is there with his claim to relationship and the
napkin with which you wipe your lips after sampng the

Mr.. Hughes last Monday outlined in his speech at
Boston his conception of the presidency Among other
things he said: First we will not medde with Things
that do not concern us: second when we say will
respect the rights of small nations will respect them
in reality" This sounds good but how does it square with
the acts of his ghthand helper Colonel Roosevelt who
when president respected the rights of small nation by
practically robbing our little neghbor Columbia of her
territory?

The Oregonian has several times sneered at the demo
cracy for repudiating plank of its platform which
reads "We favor single presidential term and to that
end will urge the adoption of an amendment making the
president of the United States ineligible for reelection
and we pledge the candidate of this convention to this
principle" The Oregonan knows that it would require
an amendment to the constitution to make this effective
The did not pledge its candidate who at that
time was not named not to make the race for second
term 1t would have been foolish to do So for that would
have made second term impossible for democrat,
while leaving republican or any other party candidate
free to make as many races for the office he pleased
1t was pledge to help change the law that was all 1t
was the entering wedge which in time will result in ac
complishment. There are many reasons why there
should be but one term of not longer than six years and
the democratic party took step in the right direction IN
recommending the law.

telling railroad they "gold bicked" by the

true the other could not bean evidence that the

Garden Notes.

Apply only well rotted manure to
the garden soil. Fresh manure caus-
es rank growth of tomatoes, mel
ons, cucumbers and peppers at the
expense of the fruit.
Practically every vegetable re-
quires non-acid soil. If your soil IS
acid apply 3 tons of ground lime
stone to the acre.
For potatoes use a special potas-
SUM fertilizer A "2-S-10" or 81
$40" brand is of superior value for
potatoes.
In planting group all long season
and perennial crops together. The
short season crops are soon out of
the way and may be followed by n
succession of crops If they are plant
ed in adjoining rows.
Rotate the crops. There will then
be less danger from such diseases as
potato scab, beet scab, melon rust
and corn smut than when the same
crops are grown on the same soil.
Thro cultivation after the garden
is established is the secret of sue
cess.

There is no longer any advantage
in planting the old Jumbo" type of
corn. 1t natures too late and altho
it produces larger tonnage per acre,
it will not be profitable because i.

Stable manure should be stored

The manure should be hauled from
the box at least once each week and
the wagon kept covered. Where the
amount OF manure handled each day
is too large to permit the usc of a

kill the maggots as they develop. The
