Bad Advice Rejected.

No President of the United States
has ever taken the stump as the can.
didatc, says the New YORK Times. of
a political party to urge his own re-
election Had President Wilson
yielded to those who wished him to
make stump speeches, he would have
god rule and should remain unbrok-
predecessors, without exception, from
Washington to Taft The rule is a
good rule and should remain unbrok-
en-. 1t is not a fetch or an empty
custom; it has a reason. The Presi-
dent. even though he be a candidate,
lis the President of the whole peo-
pie not a party. There is repugn-
ance to the spectacle of the President
whether a candidate or not, going
about the country attacking one-half
of his people and pra sing the other
half in the interest of his own cleo
ton as the representative of one of
the halves. This is the true founda-
ton of the custom and to depart from
it would be to detract from the digni-
ty of both the office and the man who
temporarily fills it, besides leaving
an unpleasant impression. No Presi-
dent has eny business on the stump.
There have been Presidents who
were less careful of the dignity Of
the office than others, but not one
has been so careless of it as to break
this rule Andrew Johnson, the least
dignified of Presidents, made pO-
litical tour but it was in the middle
of his Admin stration and for the
purpose of putting before the country
his view of the reconstruction ques-
ton not as a candidate for office.
President Taft, in the main a most
dignified President, was ill-advised in
making a political tour, but he did not
violate the rule. He appeared before
the public only in the primaries, not
in the campaign. His pos ton was
intelligibie and technically correct;
as long as the nomination had not
been made, while there was only a
quarrel within the Republican Party,
he had right, as Republican. to par
ticipate in that family quarrel. But
when the two parties had made their
nominations. President Taft felt that
he had no right, as the candidate OF
one party, to appear before the ma
ton as the opponent of the other and
make speeches in the campaign for
his own election. He followed the
precedent and stayed off the stump
Even his entrance into the primaries
was mistake, though defensible
Zone, and was hurtful to him.
n Mr.. Wilson has broken some pre-
cedents, but they We're unimportanI
ones. This is an important one, with
solid reasons behind it that are as
good today as they were in Jeffer
sons time. If he had broken it, as
some politicians tried to get him tc
do. his example might have had i'm
portant and injurious results at some
future time. and his innovation would
have done no good to his own fame.

LEGATION, which follows:
Field Headquarters,
Mexico, July 21.
l am getting along fine now. we
are getting plenty of good chow. we
had creamed onions, mashed spuds,
stewed beef, black coffee and bread
for dinner. Can you beat that for
field rations?
There has been plenty of fruit
coming in here from the ranches.
Some of the best plums ever tasted
also pears and apples. There is a
big orchard UP the river from the
camp, just loaded with apples ana
pears. There aren't any peaches.
The late cold knocked them on.
Some water melons have been ship
ped into the nearest railroad station
and they bring them by burro to
camp. An ordinary water melon sells
for s1-75c for the cheapest ones,
so I am not eating many water mel
ons.
The horses are all getting fat.
The grazing is good and plenty OF
hay and grain now.
Don't have an idea when we will
be back in the U. S. A. I hope it
won't be long, though. l guess the
people on the other side know more
about that than we do.

The Evening Telegram strongly
favors arbitration as the most reas-
enable and effective method of deal
ing with all industrial disputes
However, in the controversy now in
progress between the railroads and
their employees, we cannot but feel
that the essential demands of the
latter are justified. Every railroad
employee, whether he be driving the
engine of a twentieth century linn
tied, or the most unimportant men,
Der of a freight trains crew, is a
potential factor in the conservation
or destruction of human life. Above
all other classes of workers, they
should have clear brains, and not be
compelled to do their duties with
sense benumbed from lack of sleep
and long hours of vigilance. The
railroad employees are asking for an
eight-hour day, instead of being
compelled to be out on their runs
from IL to 16 hours a day. We be-
lieve the granting of this concession
might be found not incompatible
with the profitable operation of the
railroads. Meantime the public re-
joices that the differences between
the employers and this great army
of employees has been referred to ar
bitrators. We trust these may bring
matters to a satisfactory adjustment;
but regardless of what other COM
promises may be made. we are hope
full that the railroad man will be
granted a shorter day.

preston among Northerners is that
the heat is unbearable down here.
Everyone Of these visitors will go
back a booster for Florida's summer
climate, and all will become yalu-
able missionaries whose influence
will bring many others to visit this
State.

500 to invest in business he would
spend $25 on the stock and SIS on
advertising. THE time is coming,
and is not far distant, when the mer-
chants in the small towns will real
ize that they have got to go after
business through the columns of the
local newspapers if they expect to
get even small portion of what is
now going to the mail-order houses.

Good roads are built, and are
building all down the East Coast of
Florida, and from the East Coast
across to Tampa. The logical route
to Tampa and South Florida from the
north is through Marion county.
But with first class roads down the
East Coast into South Florida the
motorist will travel that route, and
not through Central Florida, unless
Central Florida puts itself on foot
ing with the East Coast in the mat
ter of highways. Which means that
a county building good roads helps
the adjoining counties, and, on the
contrary, a county with poor roads,
between two or more cunties having
good RAIDS, Injuries those two or more
counties.
Marion county has at present 209
miles of hard-surfaced roads, and
certainly none of the county's trunk
roads are impossible. One never
hears of car begged up over night
in this county, as is the case in 9TH
err counties and in other States. But
Marion should be able to compete
with the best-Ocala Star.

How to Handle the Boar.

A common mistake in handling
boars is to begin heavy services with
them at too early an age, says an in
structor in the animal husbandry de,
partment at Iowa State college. Altho
no r,1le can be laid down to apply in
all cases, since the time. to begin SER
vice depends largely upon the develop
ment of the boar ordinarily should
be used veryflittle before he is year
old and never before eight months.
Excessive service before maturity
will tend to shorten boar's period of
usefulness. One service day is very
satisfactory but if the boar is in proper
condition he may serve two sows a
day for a short period only. .Ds1i Il
A clean pen, where the boar can get
plenty of clean water and have the
run of a small pasture of clover, alfal-
FL or rape, is desirable. When on pas
ture of this kind, feeding of a little
corn will keep him in good shape.
A week or so before the breeding
season begins, one Of the following
protein supplements should be given;
skim milk, shorts, middlings, bran,
tankage or oil meal
Altho the feeding Of boar must be
governed by his condition it is best to
remember that sudden changes should
not be made in his ration and that he
should always be started in plenty of
time to prepare for the breeding sea.

SPRAYED Apples Sell Best

1t not only means more apples and
fewer wormy ones, but it means the
production of apples that are more
saleable. AS a rule, apple buyers will
not buy unsprayed apples, because
they know that such apples will not
keep. An apple with a worm hole OF
|scab mark on it gives rot fungus an
excellent opportunity to enter. The
buyer realizes this and discriminates
against the unsprayed apple even if it
lis otherwise perfect.
In spraying demonstrations carried
on the past year by the Iowa agricul
tural experiment station in ten com.
tiles, it was found that sprayed trees
produced on the average of 1913 per
cent clean fruit, while the unsprayed
produced but 11.S per cent which was
free from scab or worm. The sprayed
trees produced Al bu. of clean fruit

Hiph Prices.

St. Louis Democrat: The trade
and crop conditions of the world arc
quite sufficient to account for the pre-
| sent extraordinary elevation of val
ues. The ancient law of supply and
demand is still in force, notwithstand
ing the efforts of modern legislative
!assemblages to circumvent it. 1t is
las memorable and irresistible as the
professions of the equinoxes, and it
and nothing else is responsible for the
general advance in prices. The war
has created a condition altogether
without precedent in the world at
large. 1t has caused demand by
those who have not from those who
have for commodities in such enor-
nous quantities as to upset all pre-.
vious standards of values. The peo-
pie of Europe must have their needs
supplied, whatever the price, and the
Inevitable result Of the vast outpour-
ing of the products, not only from the
United States but from all neutral
countries to fill their demands, has
been the proporeionate advance of
domestic prices everywhere. In time
Of general rise virtually all things are
carried upward with the flood, which
cannot be stayed until its causes dis
appear. When the great war ceases
prices will recede, and not before.
But there are, as we have just said,
individual advances far beyond what
is justified by the circumstances and
these should be revealed by investiga-
ton and made wholly subservient to
the natural and universal law of trade.
