Mr.. Hughes place for moment.
Here was a real honest-to-goodness
presidential candidate who, on all the
principal issues Of the day, had to be
vague, indefinite and obfuscatory.
For that very reason he felt 1t was
absolutely necessary to be specific
and positive in some direction. He
had to show in some way that he
possessed human qualities, that there
dwelt within his manly bosom o
modicum at least of candidatorial
ebulliency. And so he looked over
the field very judiciously and selected
the suffrage question for the relief Of
his pent-upness. Had he not found
this outlet he might have exploded
some day when the campaign was at
its height.-Life.

THE ATTACK ON JOUETT sHoUsE

THE ATTACK ON JOUETT SHOUSE
Governor Capper's attack on Jouett
Shouse, candidate for Congress in the
Seventh Kansas District, is one of the
deplorable things in politics. AS a
matter of fact, Governor Capper and
Jouett Shouse ought to be running on
the same ticket in Kansas.
Governor Capper charges Mr..
Shouse with having attempted to
Toad" the appropriations bill in the
state senate for political purposes.
Mr.. Capper ought to know better. He
knows that Shouse, as chairman Of
the appropriations committee, had no
interest in the appropriations other
than to provide adequate means for
the conduct of the institutions.
The charge that there was politics
in the appropriations is clearly dis
proved by the fact that twelve out Of
the nineteen Republicans supported
the senate measure. Governor Cap
per is not attacking the Republican
senators who supported this bill, and
who are now candidates for re-elec-
ton, which shows that his attack up
on Shouse is because Shouse is a
Democrat.
1t is the curse of partisan govern
ment that two young men like Jouett
Shouse and Arthur Capper should be
upon opposite sides in campaign
like the present. Every reason that
can be urged for the election Of Mr..
Capper, and there are many, can be
urged with equal emphasis for the
election of Jouett Shouse. The Repub-
lican candidate against Shouse, whom
Mr.. Capper is supporting in prefer
ence to Shouse, is standpatter who
believes in nothing that Mr.. Capper
believes in as a policy of government
They do not even agree on the tariff

ought to take note Of the difference
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1916-10-13

Do the voters Of the country under
stand what 1t means to have control
of congress pass to such men as Gal
linger of New Hampshire, Warren of
Wyoming, Penrose of Pennsylvania,
Smoot of Utah, Curtis of Kansas,
Fordney of Michigan, Phil. Campbell
of Kansas, etc.? 1t means just what
happened when congress was con-
trolled by them before-closed COM
mittee rooms, secret sessions, return
of the lobby, tariff and probably cur
rency legislation dedicated to the
service of special privilege and special
interests.

In Peoria, Illinois, during a speech
by Mr.. Hughes, some one in the audi
ence asked the candidate what he
would have done had he been in Pres
ident Wilson's place. Two policemen
threw the impertinent questioner
out; which was about the only logical
and succinct answer that has yet been
made to the question by the opposi-
ton party or its candidate.

TREATED WOODEN sILos

Experience with silos built of un-
treated wood have shown that they
are subject to more or less decay.
Even such durable material as heart
cypress or redwood Is not immune.
Deterioration usually occurs near the
foundation of the silos where certain
conditions of moisture favorable for
the development of the fungus of de-
cay exist. Decay may also attack sap
py wood in any portion Of the struc-
ture.
In 1918 about 100,00O,000 board
feet of high-grade lumber were used
In silo construction, and the consump-
ton of lumber for this purpose Is
steadily increasing. The Importance
of some kind of preservative treat
ment to prevent decay in wooden
silos therefore has become generally
recognized. Several manufacturers
OF wood-stave silos are now making
use of preservatives, so that 1t is pos
sible to purchase the silo material al
ready treated.
OF the various preservatives in
general use, good grade Of coal-tar
creosote is very satisfactory for pre-
serving timber. Almost any thor
ough method of treatment with this
preservative ought to add to the life
of the silo. Superficial methods,
however, such as applying with
brush, dipping in the preservative, or
spraying, are not sufficient. By far
the best method is to have the slaves
treated with the preservative in
closed retort under pressure, and
when so treated they should last in
definitely and should be more salts
factory to the purchaser.
Those who are considering the pur-
chase of treated silos should investi-
gate carefully the methods used, and
IL greatest permanence is desired
should choose only material that has
received thorough pressure treat
ment. Silos built Of such material
have the additional advantage of re-
duction in the swelling and shrinking
of the slaves, and, hence, they can
be kept tight more easily. Another
advantage of silos built of well-treat-
ed wood is that they need not be
painted.-Governm Bulletin.

the partisanship that inspires the at

Houlton-The weather is great fo-
the potatoes and there seems to be no
very serious trouble at the present
time. Some of the farmers claim that
the cause of the new kind of rust
which appeared was nothing but lice
one prominent farmer claiming that
just under the leaves were hundreds
of lice, which he believed lived on the
juice Of the vine, causing the plant tc
die down. Being under the leaf. the
spray would not reach the beds of lice
which thrived at the expense of the
plants.

BELFAST
Worst Storm in Years Sweeps
Country-Many Fires Set
Wires are Down

Belfast, Aug. A.-While Belfast escaped
the worst Of the storm, except for a
downpour, the city was affected by the
damages done in other parts of the coun-
ty. inasmuch as every telephone circuit
leading out Of the city and also the tele-
graph wires were put out Of commission.
Late in the evening, one noisy circuit was
in commission to Bangor, and even this
morning all toll calls are taken Subject
to delay" The local lines suffered little
or no damage. In the surrounding coun-
try the damage by the wind and light
ming was great. Belfast motorists re-
turning from the Bangor fair had a hard
time making the trip home and say that
in the vicinity Of Monroe it looked as if a
cyclone had struck the country. Poles
were blown down, wires were hanging
and everything was going before the ter
rife wind People coming in on last
nights train say that there were four
fires in Thorndike, set by the lightning
and it Is reported that there were - fires
between Belfast and Burnham. This
however cannot be verified. In Montville
the fine set of buildings owned by Lisco
Foster were struck and burned. The ball
game between Belfast and Rumford
Falls which was in progress on the Con-
gress street grounds was called for an
hour for the rain but was later finished,
Rumford winning by a score Of to 4.
