This community strong in numbers:

So far as national voting representa-

The constitutional amendment favored
by The Star attaches itself to the pro-
vision creating the "Ten Miles Square,

Mr.. Roosevelt and the Tariff.

This, sent out from Oyster Bay, is
Mr.. Roosevelt's position on the tariff
question:
II believe heartily in a protective
tariff. Unless we return to a protective
tariff, preferably administered through
q commission of experts, we shall face
widespread economic disaster at the end
Of this war"
Still, under Mr.. Roosevelt's leader
ship. the republican party would be on
the defensive in the matter of the tariff.
It would be weighted with his record
made while he was in the White House.
During his seven and half years there,
with his party in full control Of Con-
gress the whole time, not a wheel was
turned toward tariff revision. Revision
was necessary, had been recommended
by President Mckinley on the very eve
Of death and was fairly included in Mr..
Roosevelt's promise upon taking Office
10 carry out the Mckinley policies. But.
while addressing himself to other ques.
tions, he let the tariff slide.
A recommendation from Mr.. Roose-
vsft would have met with prompt and
favorable response. Congress was we'll
affected toward him, and gave him cor
dial support on the matters he sub
mitted. A tariff message was expected,
and there was wonder for time that
none came in.
Out Of this delay grew much of the
party's subsequent embarrassment on
the tariff issue. What could have been
satisfactorily adjusted at the session of
1902 proved most difficult of hand
ling at the special session of 1909. Every
year between those two dates had added
to the task. So that, when revision could
not be longer postponed, the republi-
cans, sti6 in full control-Mr. Taft in

Mediation First.

While no critical condition prevails
in the matter of the Virginia suburban
line labor trouble, the decision Of the
federal board of mediation to abstain
from Intervention on the ground that
the service has not been interrupted di-
rects attention to phase of the law
which would seem to call for correction.
Under the statute which provides for ac-
tion by the mediation board in case of
disputes between corporations and op-
eratives, intervention is authorized only
when traffic is suspended. The real vir-
tue in mediation lies in the prevention
of traffic suspension. The right time to
move to prevent a strike is before the
strike is declared and the public ac
commodation is menaced. An amend
ment of the act should be had to permit
board of mediation to intervene be-
fore an actual break of relations and
suspension of traffic, in the case of com
mon carrier, so that there should never
be a lack of service>pe an ADJUST
ment of disputes. 1t is often said by
labor leaders that the strike is the last
resort of the workers to secure redress
of grievances. In practice it is usually
the first resort and mediation is the last
move. If the federal mediation board
is to be real factor for industrial
peace it should have the right to step in
between operatives and companies be-
fore the actual break comes, in the in
terest of the public accommodation.

SILAGE BEST DAIRY RATION
II is PalatabIe, succuIent, Beneficial to
the Digestive Tract and Is
Quite Economical.

Silage has been used more especial
ly for feeding dairy cows than any
other class Of live stock. No dairy
farm Is completely equipped without
a winter silo and also a sllo of small
diameter for summer feeding, unless
soiling crops are used.
Good sllage possesses several of the
desirable characteristics of a good
dairy ration. 1t is palatable, succulent,
bulky, beneficial to the digestive tract
and economical. A ration must have
these characteristics as well as have a
balance of nutrients In order to be con-
ducive to large and economical milk
production.
Experiments have shown that but
terfat was produced 8 cents per pound
cheaper and 100 pounds of milk AZ
cents cheaper where silage replaced

PRUNING or SMALL FRUITS
Cutting Of Raspberry and Blackberry
Bushes should Begin In Summer
Cut Out Old Canes.

Pruning Is more essential IN the case
Of bush fruits than Il is with fruit
trees. II the bushes are left unpruned
single season. they become a mass
Of tangled growth that bears little
fruit. and this of poor quality.
The pruning OF blackberry ard
raspberry bushes should rightly begin
in summer, when the canes are
through bearing The canes that have
borne the crop should be cut away, to
give the new shoots better chance to
develop into vigorous canes. II the
old canes were not removed last sum-
mer they should be cut now. But
three or four new stalks should be
permitted to grow from a clump. The
tips Of these new canes should be
pinched off when they have reached a
height Of four feet. This pinching
back is to develop a strong, vigorous
lateral growth, since the fruit forms
on growths that start from the later
ais. Spring pruning consists in cut
ting out all wood that has borne ber-
ries and the shortening of laterals on
new wood to IS to 20 inches. The new
plants that develop between the
clumps should be kept down, If these
are not wanted for planting.
The currant bush requires little
pruning during the first two or three
years, other than a slight shortening
Of the ends of the canes. This short,
ening is done to increase the fruit buds
along the cane. Currants do not form
on new wood, and in order to have a
good crop each season 1t is advisable,
In pruning, to leave an equal number
of the one-year and two-year-old canes
10 each bush.

MosIems Preaching From the Bible.
There is a changed attitude through
out the Moslem world, also on the part
of the educated classes, as regards
their own religion. Where formerly
their line OF defense was the tradi'
tions and their method Of attack the
statements OF the Koran, they have
now chosen for their arena in the fight
for truth the Old and New Testament.
A Moslem in India wrote a commen-
tsry on the book OF Genesis. In Cairo
they have reprinted whole portions OF
chapters from the New Testament as
a proof that all Christians should be
Unitarians! More Moslem pupils are
attending the mission schools than
ever before.-Christian Herald.
