Unfortunate Remark.

Among other utterances of Senator
Harding of Ohio now the subject of
criticism is his assertion in a>recent
speech that some Democrats are bet
ter than some Republicans. How sad
ly the party is in need of the keynote
speech which the senator is to deliver
at Chicago is shown by the fact that
standpatters and Progressives alike
have construed this remark as person
al to themselves and want to fight
about 1t.

Field Hawk-Weed.

almost valueless. Worse still, after
the hawk-weed has occupied the land
for few years, it seems to become
sod-bound or self-poisoned, and begins
to slough or peel off, exposing the soil
to the ruinous action of erosion.
Warning to Pasture Owners.
A warning is, therefore, given to all
persons in the mountain territory to
be on the lookout for this weed and
take energetic measures to suppress
1t. After hawk-weed once obtains a
foothold, it is almost impossible, or
at least impractical, to stamp 1t out
completely, but 1t can be kept with
in reasonable bounds b. a little watch
fulness.
The weed can be recognized by its
cluster of bright yellow flower heads,
somewhat resembling half-open flower
heads of the dandelion. These flow
ers appear early in June, borne on
the tops of slender almost leafieEs
stems, four to twelve inches high.
Each stem rises from the center of
cluster of dark green, pointed, hairy
leaves, and 1t is to these leaves that
the plant owes its destructive quail
ties. The leaves lie fiat en- the ground
in a compact mat, hugging the ground
so closely that nothing can grow be-
tween them, and as the plants are
usually crowded together in patches,
dense carpet of the weed is formed
in which scarcely spear of grass re-
mains.
Methods for Control.
When hawk-weed first appears, one
should ride over the pasture and along
the fences on horseback, locating ev.
cry patch. This is easily done when
the weed is in bloom A sack and q
hoe should be carried along and every
patch of the weed carefully dug up
and carried of to be burned. This
will not take long, and If faithfully
attended to every year, there need
be little fear of hawk-weed. Another
good plan is to salt the cattle only on
the patches of hawk-weed, as a heavy
application of dry salt will nearly kill
the hawk-weed, and the licking Of the
cattle will help to wear 1t out. Above
all things, do not let the weed go to
seed. for the seeds are equipped with
feathery plumes and scatter far and
wide. If the patches of hawk-weed
are too large to be dug out or sailed
they should at least be mown early
in June. just as the weed is coming
into full bloom, using sharp scythe
and being careful to clip off all Of the
flower stems. II mown once in THU

Senator Harding. who is to make

During the wet and dry campaign
Of the state Of Washington, the Sc
attic Daily Times worked vigorously
for the vets. After one month OF pro-
hibition this is what the editor said:
I'VE fought prohibition on economic
grounds alone. We believed that in
great seaport city with a popula-
ton of upwards of 100000, prohibit
ton would be destructive; that it
would bring on economic disaster.
We believed that under the license
system we had the liquor traffic as
we'll controlled as it could be; we
wanted to let it alone and we fought
as hard as we could fight. But in
spite of all we could do. prohibition
carried and went into effect January
l. Its moral effect has been tremen-
dous. Seattle had 260 saloons and
we had an average of $500 arrests a
month for crimes and misdemeanors
growing out of liquor drinking. In
January we had only 400 arrests and
60 of these were made January 1,
and were the result of hang-overs
from the old year"

CAUSE OF LOWEST DEATH RATE.
Why has Kansas the lowest death
rate in the United States? This ques-
ton was asked by doubling federal Of
ficials after they had investigated the
report Of w. J. V. Deacon. state regis
trar Of vital statistics, showing that
the Kansas death rate was only 9.S
per 1000. The answer of Mr. Deacon
as given to Samuel l.. Rogers, direc-
tors of the United States bureau of
census, gave this reason among 9TH
| ers:
Kansas is a prohibition state and
has been for a generation, and in Kan
sas, prohibition really prohibits. / do
not mean by this there is no alcohol
consumed in the state, but the abb
| sence of the saloon means much to
our growing boys and young men,
who, in the absence of any bar room,
find more healthful pastimes than loaf
ing in an alcohol laden atmosphere.
Another and more important fact
concerning prohibition is that the
wage of the laborer or mechanic is not
dissipated. but goes to supply those
necessities of food, clothing and hous-
ing most essential to the wellbeing Of
their families and themselves"

Abraham Wilcox, lO7 years old,

to that time he had enjoyed good
health all his life.

ago he came to America from Devon

of these contentious were true, that if
every vote that was wrongfully cast
was a dry vote and every voter who

would not have been successful, so the
