Objection to McLemore Resolution.

] he chief objection to the McLemore
resolution. as sounded by friends Of
warning resolutions generally. is that
It's preamble is burdened with requests
for papers that do not exist or can
not be produced. This is not denied by
members trying to obtain a vote on it,
snd they even believe that very fact
will gain their cause many votes
Mr.. McLemore, the author OF the
original resolution. yesterday author
lied the following statement.
The President is reported to be sat
isfed with the disposal made of the
resolution by the committee on foreign
relations and its friends have no es-
pecial cause FOR complaint. as the reso-
luton has really served its purpose
without being adopted.
The main object OF the resolution
was to prevent this country from being
plunged into war with one or more Of
the belligerent European nations SIM
ply because of the needless act of some
indiscreet American citizen. and l feel
quite sure that this object has now
been attained.

tons to the acre of well rotted manure
is very satisfactory. This should be APP
piled after blowing or working with a
spade, and distributed evenly over the
surface and later worked in with a
hoe and rake. On many soils it is ad-
visable to apply commercial fertilizer,
especially phosphate, in addition to the
manure An application of 800 to 600
pounds to the acre of nitrate of soda
usually sufficient. II additional potash
is needed, which is often the case with
sandy soils, this may be economically
supplied in the form of wood ashes. If
the wood ashes are ,inleached they
should be distributed over the garden,
using 1000 pounds to the acre. If they
have been wet. or leached. 1000 pounds
should be used An application of 100
opunds to the acre of nitrate of soda
may be used in the spring to start the
plants before the nitrogen in the ma
nure has become available. 1t should be
borne in mind that commercial fertiliz-
ers will not yield good results unless
the soil is well supplied with humus.
Sod or other vegetation which has over
grown garden spot may be used to
advantage. 1t should be turned under
with a pillow or a spade and will aid in
Tightening the soil and providing hui
mus.

Indiana politics got in its work and
the international crisis looked small in

The rules committee met in the aft

hours on the debate instead Of forty

BUSINESS MEN NEEDED

A Congressman Is really a>business
agent for the people he represents
more than a law maker. What Colo
RADIO needs and needs badly, is some
man from this state at Washington
who has business experience and

and newspaper man there. Mining.
agriculture. manufacturing irrigation
all need some aid but it would seem
our delegation think it far better to
unravel the foreign mixup or engage
in settling great international ques-

vancement of our industries. When
the business men, wage-earners, min

McClelland for the Republican nomi-

been a business success and who can
be of some service to his district and
his state His nomination is equival-
ent to his election.

Of him justified themselves on the
ground that when the land was sold
it would begin to bear taxes, but the
purchaser of school lands only pays
taxes on his equity.
They also got bill thru the legis-
lature which the Governor vetoed
providing that only three percent
need be paid down on a purchase.
The taxes, therefore, derived from a
three percent equity would not
amount to much.
1t will be seen from above facts
that the state had a very narrow es.
cape from the wholesale looting OF
its most sacred fund.

MR.. HUGHES HAS EXPLODED THE
"kEPT-U S-OUT-OF-WAR"
ARGUMENT.

Mr.. Hughes attack upon the "kept-
us-Out-Of-war" argument has aroused
q story of enthusiasm.
Kept us out of war?" he demands.
"Why, there We're nineteen men-goOd
American soldiers, shot down at Vera
Cruz, and many Mexicans were killed
by our men. That was war. More
over, it was very ignoble war. I
have heard three explanations of the
Vera Cruz move.
'First, it was explained that it was
made in order to compel somebody
to salute the flag-somebody who had
insulted us. But the flag was not sa-
luted and has not been to this day.
Then it was said that the salute was
not what we sought, but to prevent
the landing of boatlOad of ammuni-
ton intended for Huerta. The ammu-
milton, landed, however, and it has
been shown that it reached Huerta
in due season without interference on
our part.
"When that reason was shown to
| be untenable, third one-and possibly
| the real one-fnally was advanced.

| Cruz was a move to compel the retire
ment of Huerta. It seems possible
hat this is true, although we had
promised the Mexicans that we would
not interfere in their affairs and told
them more than once that we wanted
them to handle their own affairs.
THAT is why the Mexicans coult
not understand us and that is why
they show little faith in our promises

THE PRESIDENTS PLAN

President Wilson would infiict an
increased freight rate on the people
of the United States for the sake or
temporarily settling strike until
after the November election. He Is
willing to arbitrate or mediate but
wants the railroads to grant all the
concession. He knows that he could
not get the railway trainmen to give
in but figures that by encouraging
the railways in the offer of support
ing an increase in freight rates he
can settle the matter until after he
is either reelected or defeated at the
polls next November. The consumers
would have to pay this advance in
wages which the trainmen demand.
1t would come off those who buy at
retail and no one else.

AN OLD PAL OF
BUFFALO BILL
Monoah L. Howell, One of the Hardy
Pioneers of Early Days Gone to
the Happy Hunting Grounds"

Another of the old-timers is gone.
He was not famous, nor yet very we'll
known, but he had his share in max
ing the history of the great northwest
for he was one of the pioneers who
helped to blaze the trails for the pi-
oneer settlers, and to open the way for
the influx of the white man to the red
brothers boundless domains.
Monoah L. Howell was born in In
diana March %, 1887, and long before
. Horace admonished young men to "Go
West" spurred by the wanderlust and
the desire for adventure, trekked his
way to Kansas, where he met Col. Buff
falo Bill Cody. In 1856 and 1856, Cody
and Howell, both young men, started
on their famous hunting and trapping
trips into the woods of Wyoming, Mon
tana and other states. The history of
Buffalo Bill is the history of Monoah
L. Howell, and while Cody was endow-
ed with the ability to save money, in
vest it and win fame, Howell was a
piodder who gloried merely in the
sport of life, took what Fate handed
out, and who Fame passed by.
Four months ago he came to Sanger,
N. L., c1Ilu IldS olISC UCCll lldAl1S Ills
home with his sons. Saturday morn
ing he ate hearty breakfast and then
took long walk. On his return he
admitted that he wasn't quite so spry
as he used to be; lit his pet pipe and
a few minutes later was stricken with
apploplexy, dying instantly.
Howell was one of type. An old
timer who liked nothing more than to
have the grandchildren sitting about
him, wide-eyed at his tales of adven-
ture- He did not need to draw on his
imaginations, for he had had the ex-
periences, and it was one of his de-
lights to casually mention that Buffalo
Bill had often acknowledged that he
HOWELL was just as good a rifle shot
and marksman and scout as me-"
Since the west became civilized he
had farmed in Kansas. The wife died
four years ago and two sons and four
daughters survive. Two boys are dead.
