Not to Embarrass Mr.. Huohe..

BY calling attention to the fact that
president with even one house of
congress in opposition to him POLITICAL
ly must be grsvely handicapped"
Mr.. Hughes furnishes an excellent rea.
son why he should not be elected this
year.
In the present senate the Democrats
have clear majority or 10, with three
or four Progressives who are more in
clined to affiliate with them than with
Republicans. 1t is, of course, possible
that there may be a Hughes landslide,
but there are no signs of 1t. Ii Mr..
Hughes should be elected by a normal
vote, the Democrats might lose several
seats In the senate and still be in con.
troll of that body until 1919.
This Is not good time to establish
mixed party government. Worse than
swapping horses while crossing a
stream Is an attempt under such con,
ditions to ride horses going In differ
emit directions. The reelection Of Mr..
Wilson is not exactly what Mr.. Hughes
has in mind. to relieve himself of this
embarrassment, but 1t is the only SURF
remedy.

BEST FATTENING HOG CROPS
Corn and cowpeas. With Sufficient
Area Should Be Provded-sweet
Potatoes Also Favored.

<By w. r. DODSON, Louisiana Expert
ment station.)
The best fattening crop available
from the 18th to the 10th of July Is
corn and cowpeas, and sufficient area
should be supplied to keep the hogs
from four to six weeks.
1t will generally be found advan-
tageous at the end Of that time to
transfer them to a field of peanuts or
soy beans Of sufficient area to main
tain the animals about four to six
weeks. Feed them little dry corn to
balance the ration. Probably the most
profitable crop available for hog feed
from the latter part of October until
the latter part of December is sweet
potatoes, and the fattening period can
be closed with the harvesting of this
crop.
When hogs are allowed to harvest
sweet potatoes at will and are fed
a moderate quantity of slops contain
Ing rich protein feed. they make
remarkably rapid gains.

with absolute harmony among the
Democrats and bitter fractional differ
'ences dividing the Republicans, we
have more than first-class chance to
carry the state for the president this
year." declares DIR. John w. Coughlin
of Fall River. Democratic national
committeeman for Massachusetts.
"The Democrats have not settled
upon candidate for governor. Form
er Governor Walsh, who Is In the far
East, doubtless could have the nominal
ton If he wanted 1t, but he is not in
the country. do not know who may
be chosen, but you may be sure that
there will be no fractional controversy.
Former Representative O'Connell has
been talked Of as candidate for the
United States senate.
Il am more than pleased with the
situation In Massachusetts,. Even the
Republicans must admit that their
party Is split. and that the differences
must have an influence on the vote.
To help the Democrats the Industrial
conditions will undoubtedly contribute
largely. Workingmen everywhere are
employed at good wages. prosperity
abounds, money is plentiful and the
country Is at peace. And when that
is considered. the chances Of Demo-
cratic SUCCESS are certainly very great.
ThrouguNw4 the nation parents are
thankful that the president has kept
the country out Of war. and this sIo-
gan you may be sure will be emblaz-
oned on many transparency In the
campaign this fall. He kept us out
OF war; And he did 1t with honor to
our own nation. Our people do not
want war. The little taste the mill
tiamen have had Of 1t is quite enough
to demonstrate what war would
mean"

RULES FOR DRAGGING ROADS
Illinois Highway Commission Gives In.
struetIon on Care and Maintenance
Of Highways.

The following rules are given by the
Illinois highway commission:
Use light drag.
Haul 1t over the road at an angle
so that small amount Of earth II
pushed to the center Of the road.
Drive the team at walk.
Ride on the drag; do not walk.
Begin at one side of the road, re-
turning up the opposite side.
Drag the road as soon after every
rain as possible, but not when the
mud is In such a condition as to stick
to the drag.
Do not drag dry road.
Drag whenever possible at all sea-
sens Of the year.
The width Of travelling way to be
maintained by the drag should be
from IS to 20 feet; first drag a little
more than the width of single wheel
track, then gradually increase until
desired width is obtained.
Always drag a little earth toward
the center of the road until 1t is raised
OF the travelled way.
II the drag cuts too much shorten
the hitch.
The amount of earth that the drag
will carry along can be very consider
ably controlled by the driver, accord
ingly as he stands near the cutting end
or away from 1t.
When the roads are first dragged
after very muddy spell the wagons
should drive. If possible, to one side
until the roadway has a chance to
freeze or partially to dry out.
The best results from dragging are
obtained only by repeated application.
Remember that constant attention IL
necessary to maintain an earth road In
Its best condition.

TWO FORMS OF PROTECTION"
Foreign Trade--Why Mr.. Hughes
10 Not Pleased.

"You couldn't get decent protec-
Zionist measure out of Democratic
congress. sectionally organized. any
more than you could get revival ser
mon out of disorderly house. You
can't do It."
On the same day In which Candidate
Hughes presented this elegant simili-
tude to the country the house judiciary
committee Of a Democratic congress
reported bill legalizing combinations
to engage exclusively In the export
trade.
Any such action as this, however,
probably does not come within what
Mr.. Hughes means by the term PRO
lection" It does not imply tariff taxes
against foreign trade; it implies only
action to hold and extend our foreign
trade. 1t is an outward-looking form
Of protection to American industry,
while Mr.. Hughes contemplates an In
ward-looking form of protection"
1t proceeds on the accepted military
theory that offensive action Is the best
kind of action in defense, while the
best defense with Mr. Hughes is evil
IDENTIFY to cut and run.
In this view Of what constitutes "a
decent protectionist measure" Mr..
Hughes is probably right about Dem
ocratic congress. 1t would be well for
the country's industry and foreign
trade II the same could be said of any
other congress.

ARE WITH WILSON
Many Progresslves Win Vote the
Democratic Ticket.
Logically They Cannot Support the
Republican Party, stIII a. Reae-
tionary ~ When They Left
lts Ranks.

The chairman Of the Democratic ma.
hohal committee publishes long and
significant list of Progressives In the
far West who have assured aim of
their intention to vote for Mr.. Wilson.
Men and women who have been infiu.
entail in the Progressive councils, who
have been the Progressive candidates
for national or state office. names of
distinction and character, are on the
roll. Ungrateful for Mr.. Hughes sud-
den flop to federal woman suffrage,
even Progressive woman suffragists
are turning to Mr.. Wilson.
II principles mean anything. II the
Progressive party was anything more
than an expression and vehicle of Mr..
Roosevelt's political hatreds and a
choir to hymn his worship, the mass
Of Progressives who believed in 1912
that the Republican party was reac-
tionary cannot now be herded back
into that party unchanged, unrepent-
ant. bossed by the same old bosses, de-
void of any issue save the noble one
of beating Wilson" and getting the
Offices.
Those Progressive men and women
who were most earnest In 1912, as they
still are, see the progressive and re-
form legislation accomplished or adj
vocated by Mr.. Wilson and the DEM
Gratis. They see themselves contempt
uousIy treated as puppets by the mas
ter of the show. They see the railsr
at bosses trying to boss the party that
was all for the rule of the people,
calmly ordering 1t back to the Repub-
lican party. They know that Mr..
Hughes name is but cloak of the
Republican bosses, the same old or
ganization against which they revolted
four years ago. They see, sorrowfully
or bitterly. that Mr.. Roosevelt has no
fondness for being In a minority; that
to him the sole remaining use of the
Progressive party is to serve as his
bridge back to Republicanism.
The position of the distinguished
Progressives who have informed Chair
man Mccormick of their resolve to
vote the Democratic ticket, the pro-
gressive and constructive ticket, Is en-
couraging to Democratic prospects. A
stronger hope Is to be found in the un-
distinguished, silent. and sincere Pro-
gressives who, like them, resent the at
tempt to deliver the Progressives, I'M
consulted and unwilling, to the Re
publican party. The Wilson Progress
sives are strong body, and not in the
far West alone.

STORAGE OF DAIRY PRODUCTS

No other method Of storing dairy
products-milk, cream and butter is
quite SO effective In keeping them
fresh as that of setting the vessels
containing them In running water,
either In spring or some artificial de-
vice for the purpose. For the con-
venience Of the housewife and the
health and sanitation of the entire
family. every farmer ought to manage
to arrange such place, which can be
done at slight cost on every farm.

The natural and proper course for
the insurgent Progressives this year
Is to vote for Mr.. Wilson. All of them,
and as well those who now favor the
Endorsement of Hughes, preferred the
election Of Democrat to the election
OF Republican In 1872 The Roose-
welt candidacy, whatever else 1t meant,
certainly meant that. Like conditions
confront them this year. for in their
view the Republican party IL unre-
generate, belief for which, we are
grieved to say, there Is only too much
supporting evidence.
