MAYBE THIS WILL WORK ALPINE GRANDEUR AMAZING
English Paper Suggests Novel Trap
for Kidding Community Of All
Sorts of Rodents.

Let me give you an unfailing meth
cd for gathering in all the rats for
miles around.
Get large tub, fill it about three
parts full with water. Stand a brick
on its end, in the middle of the tub.
Get some brown paper as a bridge
stretching from the rim OF the tub to
the brick, all round the tub, SO as not
to let the water be seen. Then put a
slab or board up against the tub for
the rats to run up.
Put a piece of meat as a bait on
the top of the brick, and saturate it
with oil of rhodium. The rats will
come from all quarters at the very
smell of it. The first rat that runs up
the bridge tries to get at the bait, and
falls through the brown paper into the
water. He then climbs on to the top
of the brick and starts to squeal.
All the other rats for miles around
come rushing to the aid of their dis
tressed comrade and each one topples
| into the water and is drowned. Only
one can occupy the top of the brick at
a time. By this means whole neigh
borhoods could be cleared very rapidly

Nothing in the worlds history is
more impressive than the story of the

from France eastward hundreds of

DUG ITS OWN GRAVE
Democratic Party Now in Hope
less Split.
AS Always, FactionaI Fights Have
Followed Unwise Legislation, and
All SembIance of Unity
Has Disappeared.

We commend to the attention of its
principal beneficiaries the state of ill
health to which the Democratic party
has been reduced by the ezpedients
Of inexpert leaders, the errors of
quack physicians and the blunders of
ignorant managers. The situation in
which it lies indicates heroic and in,
telligent treatment if it is to survive
the further activities of the first ses-
sion of the Sixty-fourth congress.
Already two of the Representative
Mr.. Page of North Carolina and Cen
eral Sherwood of Ohio, have an
nounced their decision not to seek re-
domination. Mr.. Page was assured
that no opposition would be offered
to his candidacy; General Sherwood
won his last election by a majority
rising $4,000. The example they have
set will be followed by others, some
actuated by conscience, more seeking
a respectable escape from expensive
and hopeless canvasses, The outlook
for this fall in debatable districts
does not lure ambitious men to the
front in the Democratic party.
There is much talk Of war and
peace from the lips of the majority
in congress. But in their own or
ganization there is no peace. It is
war, war against their leaders, war
between factions. bitter strife be
! tween individuals. The. semblance OF
unity has disappeared. overwhelmed
in the upsurge of those characteristic
qualities from which the Democratic
party derives its popular emblem.

Shortage Not Due to the War

All the blame for the S240, 0,000,0
shortage in the treasury the admins
tration leaders place upon the war.
Speaker Champ Clark says there is
a difficulty with the revenue" due to
the war, and Secretary McAdoo wants
the sugar duty retained until normal
customs conditions are restored" And
yet the statistics of the department of
commerce show that in the first year
Of the war there was a falling off in
the value of our imports of only IL
per cent or $220,000,O00. Plainly this
decrease does not explain a difficulty
with the revenue" that leaves the
country $240,000, 900 short of what the
lawmakers had figured on.
The people will go~on paying the
special war tax in time of peace and
! they will contribute the 100000, 900
that is still needed to make ends meet,
in whatever way congress may die
tate, but when the 1916 campaign
| rolls around the administration s
financing will call for explanation, and
that means that the operation of the
new tariff will be subjected to deep
! scrutiny. There is no reason to doubt
/ that this will be the big issue.

Democrats in a Hole

Democrats have run into a blind al
ley with their so-called competitive
tariff. They will either have to sell
bonds or raise the wind through radi-
cal upward revision of the Underwood
Simmons act. The president is quoted
as holding that such revision of the
tariff will not be necessary until the
close of the war. He would have to
possess acute prescience to express
such a view, when no living mortal
can forecast the end of the war As
matter of fact, when this shall
come and Europe shall set about re-
storing her industries this country
will. be swamped with loads of trash
goods which will represent that sue
cessful competition by foreign pro-
ducers that the Democratic act was
framed to further.

There we're a dozen business blocks

See Need for Protection

y The need for the restoration of the
Republican party to power is seen by
the business men of the country. They
know that the Democratic tariff should
be wiped out and that a protective tar
iff should be enacted that would ab-
solutely safeguard the industries the
country now possesses, and is acquir-
Ing, and prevent the deadly competi-
ton of Europe at the close of the war.
The Democrats have put the revenues
of the country in condition of hap

Geographical Changes.

Biologists tell US that during the
Eocene era, when the shores of the
Gulf of Mexico lay considerably farther
inland than at the present time, long,
baylike extension of the gulf filed the
present valley of the Mississippi up to
the mouth of the Ohio, says bulletin
of the United States geological survey
The boundaries of this ancient bay
were not stationary, but shifted slowly
back and forth from time to time, so
that open sea was gradually replaced
by brackish water, and this by swamps
and peat bogs. The succeeding ad
vance of the sea buried these old peat
bcgs beneath accumulations of clay
sand and sea shells.

 Col. Roosevelt announced tonight that he had exacted a pledge from the progressives not to nominate until to- morrow
 The progressive national convention is becoming restless, Colonel Roosevelt admitted tonight Telephone calls for him have come from Chicago every hour and almost every half hour dur ing the day. The party leaders who are attending the convention have pressed insistently for information as to how much longer they must wait before making a nomination. Colonel i Roosevelt responded in effect, to each 1 appeal by advising delay and propos ing that the progressives wait until i some definite action was taken by the republicans. Colonel Roosevelt to- l night still refused to declare his atti- l tude Tn regards to the nominating of a separate ticket by the progressive. Ii
 Is the general opinion tonight that itn-
 less the republicans show a spirit ol

 doubtedly will place a third ticket il the field.
