HUGHES THE MAN.

we have heard in recent days that
the alternative Of the policy OF the
present administration is war. I think
the alternative of the policy OF the
present administration is peace with
honor
In this pregnant sentence Charles
f. Hughes replied to President Will
sons odd suggestion that unless the
Democratic party were returned to
power the country would be plunged
into war. Mr.. Hughes made his re-
ply at the Union League club meet
ing in New York. and was wildly
applauded by a distinguished audi
ence. including Theodore Roosevelt
and William II. Taft.
Elect me again. or the country
will go to the dogs" Is the Wilson
argument Nobody knows how to
keep the country at peace except my
self"
To such a plea Is Mr.. Wilson re-
duced by the smashing attack of his
opponent!
Anything to keep us out of war
Is the Wilson cry.
Peace with honor" is the retort
Of stalwart Americanism, voiced by
Charles f. Hughes.
Peace by weakness does not
sound well to American ears. Peace
by strength" Is better.
America was not compelled to buy
peace. It's moral strength was SUI

II that strength had been bravely sx-

Americans arc tired of the argu-
ment that they can maintain peace
only by yielding something as vital
as peace: some right or dignity that

both peace and honor? Why not

COUNCIL TURNS DOWN
ORGANIZE
For some weeks Mayor Thompson
has been keeping a card index on the
aldermen. Misled by the fote on the
ordinance permitting the sale of the
Automatic Phone Co., four aldermen
last night called a special meeting Of
the council to put over a motion to
resolfe it into a committee Of the
whole to select a committee or COM
mittees to appoint committees for the
coming year.
By a vote of 46 to "a the council
this modning placed on file this mo-
ton, introduced by Aid. Michaelson.
The card index system failed to work.
mo further attempt will be made
by the administration to assist in the
organization of the council" stated
Mayor Thompson. "The aldermen
have shown themselves to be afraid
of the Municipal Voters league"
Aid. Michaelson read a speech
when he introduced his resolution. In
it he attacked Aid. Merriam, the
crime comm, the deTeat or VIM. Sehg
to the board of education, and re-
called Mayor ThompsOn's statement
blaming the aldermen for the death
of policemen shot by criminals.

COMMITTEE
After different aldermen had
stated they never had pressure
brought to bear on them to influence
appointments, Aid. Kennedy arose.
ct looks to me as if this were an
attempt by the administration to
bring about harmony" he said. "In
France and Great Britain they call
this a vote of confidence. These
votes are taken to discover if the rep
resentatiVe body is in harmony with
the administrations policy. If they
are not upheld in the vote it is their
custom to resign. If this vote fails
to uphold the administration is
should be honest enough to resign.
In fact, the only decent thing the adj
ministration can do is to resign. We
Socialists believe in unity. So have
to vote against Aid. Michaelson's mo-
ton"
After the meeting Mayor Thomp-
son was asked to comment on Aid.

accused me Of trying to make rub
Der stamps out of the aldermen. It
seems to me as if they have the han
die of the stamp. When the people Of
a ward send men to the council year
after year it is plain that they want
these men to represent them and
these men should have a chance to

Making Life Hard.

We make life hard for ourselves by
our habit of counting the knocks and
emphasizing all the bad spots in the
road. We forget u thousand mercies'
but we remember every disappoint-
ment and carefully mark down every
rebuff. We manage to spoil a lot of
sunny days with the memory of one
cloudy one. Surely this is worse than
foolish!
Instead of grumbdng at the hard.
ness Of our lot, instead of complain
ing because we have been asked to suf-
fer hardship, it would be wiser TO ask
whether or not we have ourselves to
blame. The man who upsets the hor-
nets nest has no right to complain of
the stingS. God is not to blame for
our folly. The man who would live
well must live wisely, and there is
plqnty of sunshine in life If we will
only walk on the sunny side of the
street.

are to color well. If, after worthless
wood is removed, the tree still seems
too thick, some thinning may be DONE
but too much wood should not be re-
moved at one time. More satisfactory
results will be obtained if three years
are allowed in which to put the tree
into satisfactory shape. If possible,
however, some of the center branches
should be taken out to give the sun
light an opportunity to get down into
the tree and color the fruit.
AS the tree grows in its natural
state, there is a balance between the
root system and the crown, or that
portion above the ground. When
large amount of wood is taken from
the tree, as in the case Of heavy prun-
ing, this balance is disturbed. The
root system remains the same, but
there is not enough wood above ground
to utilize the plant food which the
roots have stored; consequently, IN
the following season large number OF
watersprouts will be put out by the
tree.
IF the tree has been high-headed,
with most of the bearing wood at the
top, and this you have removed IN
heading the tree back, it will be neces-
sary to start some new bearing wood
in the lower part of the tree. This can
be done by making use of the water
sprouts. Unless they are too thick, II
IS well to leave most of them for the
first year, but they should be cut back
10 three or four buds. By this method
YOU will provide leaf surface enough
to take care of the plant food which
the roots are sending up, and the cut
ting back of the watersprouts VIII
cause them to develop fruit spurs
Thus the bearing wood may be
changed to the lower part Of the tree
THE second year the undesired
watersprouts may be removed. Those
which you wish TO save for permanent
bearing wood should be left about l.
inches apart. The watersprouts which
later appear and are not wanted may
be rubbed off when they are small
buds. Clipping the ends of thI
branches will force out new growtl
further back on the limb and will alsC
have a tendency to make the brancf
thlcken, thus enabling it better to sup
port the weight of a crop of apples
Every branch should be cut as clos'
as possible to the limb from which /
is being removed. The greatest car
should be taken not to disturb an!
more of the fruit spurs than neces
sary as 1t takes long time for thes
to develop"

II is wonderful how big a part is

ably the women who get the most sat

CONTROL OF CLOVER
LEAF WEEVIL PEST
Light Pasturing Will Dispose OF
Many of InseOts-CIipping
Also Assists.

The Pennsylvania department OF
agriculture has received several In
duiries recently from farmers in the
eastern counties about a worm work
ing upon the clover. The specimens
submitted with these letters show that
the damage is being done by the larvae
of the clover leaf weevil.
As yet there is no successful meth
cd of controlling this pest, but the fol-
lowing methods will ALLEVIATE the trou'
Bile to some extent.
Lightly pasturing the clover will dis
pose of many of the insects, for they
will either be eaten by the stock or
he killed by tramping. Lightly clip
ping the clover with the moving ma
chine will also help but 1t has the dis
advantage that It is possible for the
worms to live some time or until new
growth has started, by feeding upon
the clippings that have fallen to the
ground.

CULTIVATING TREES
TO KILL INFECTION
There Is No Positive Cure for
Root Rot-Lives in Soil and
Hard to Destroy.

Replying to an inquiry as to the cause
of fruit trees dying, DR.. II. Fl. Forbes,
director of the Arizona agricultural
experiment station, says: $50 far as
I can tell from your letter 1t looks as
though your fruit trees were affected
with root rot, which attacks the trees
at n distance below the surface of the
soil and works up to within a few
inches of the surface, when the trees
being deprived of their root system,
suddenly die. This disease is favored
by over-irrigation and lack of cuitVa-
tion. these being conditions which re-
sult in insufficient aeratlon of the soil.
Inasmuch, therefore, as root rot
thrives with insufficient aeratiOn, the
best preventive measure is to apply
sufficient, but not too much, irrigatlns
water, and to cultivate thoroughly aft
er every irrigation. These precautions
will contribute materially to the health
of the trees. There is no positive
remedy that can be suggested for DIS
eased trees and the infection, since 1t
lives in the soil, is very difficult TO get
rid Of. Irrigate with care, therefore
and cultivate thoroughly in order to
lessen the damage as much as possible.
