THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE.

At Charleston, w. Va, on Wednes-
day, Mr.. Hughes voiced what The
Republican believes to be the dom
inant issue of the presidential cam
paign. He and Wilson are in accord
in desiring that the United States
remain at peace with the world; both
of them are advocates of more mill
tary preparedness than the country
needs; both of them have gone on
record as favoring the principle of
he eight-hour day, a question
brought to the fore by the threatened
railroad strike. Upon what great
Questions, then. do they differ? In
one respect, tlat of extravagan in
public expenditures, there is a sharp
distinction between the two men,
both as to their professions and in
their records. There can be no ques-
ton, If history can be relied on to
repeat itself, that Hughes would
stand more firmly against the wick
ed waste practiced by congress in
making its appropriations. But there
is another and still more important
issue between the two presidential
candidates, and this certainly was
developed impressively by Gov.
Hughes when he said on Wednesday:
II believe in tariff commission.
II want to get all the expert IN
formation available. But tariff COM
missions do not pass tariff bills. 1t is
congress that legislates. You have
got to get a majority in congress that
believes in the protective tariff if
you are going to have American in
dustry safe-guarded.
You won't get Democratic ma
jority that believes in the protective
tariff. They do not. They said four
years ago that it was unconstitution-
al. They are whispering softly now
with respect to it, but their leaders
have recently insisted upon the old
doctrine as the test of the true faith.
Now, am not interested in their
conflicts among themselves. I am not
interested in their domestic wrangl-
ing over this problem, SO rudely
swept upon them by the economic
conditions of this time. ! am interest
ed in the prosperity of the United
States and l ask you to put in power
a majority that will conserve that
prosperity and build up our great in
dustries by wise and intelligent pro-
lection.
81 want to see protection to Ameri-
can industries for the purpose OIL
maintaining the prosperity Of our
workingmen.
ut is the foundation of social JUS
tice, American prosperity Mr.. |
Hughes continued. "a man who can
not get work is not satisfied with ar
guments about hours of work or con-
ditions of work. You have got to-
have work first, and want abund-
ance of work, factories running at
full time, constant extension of op-
portunities for employment, and /

FOR SPRAYING APPLE TREES
Best Formula 10 Concentrated Lime

About August First. 70.

The best formulas for spraying ap-
pie trees and any other fruit trees ex-
cept the peach, is concentrated lime
sulphur at the strength of one to forty
for apples and one to fifty for the other
fruits. and two and p half pounds Of
arsenate of lead. Tile first spraying
should be made just S the pink of the
blossom shows. This should be fol-
lowed by another application as the
blossom petals are dropping. In about
two weeks the trees should be sprayed
again. and winter varieties of apples
should have anOthe' application for
the second brood Of codling moth
about the first of lgust.
All fruit trees except the peach
should receive the FIST three applica-
tionS. Plums should receive u spray
ing after that ut intervals of two
weeks, until within about a month of
ripening time. No fruit should be
sprayed within a month of ripening
time, because sufficient time should be
allowed for the rem wal of all traces
of the spray material by the weather
before the fruit is harvested:

Quaint Raincoat.

When rain falls in tropical countries
there is no mistake about ii. The rain
comes as If il meant to sweep away
all such trifies as trees and bushes.
A man who goes out in this deluge
must protect himself, but he finds that
n macintosh of the lightest kind has
its disadvantages, for if 1t keeps the
rain out, il also keeps the heat in.
The raincOat devised by the Next
cans Is called a "chinO," and is so por-
Gus that the heat of the body readily
escapes, while owing to its cOnstruc-
ton II keeps the wearer dry. The
chino Is made of humberless long. mar
row strips Of dried palm-leaf, one end
OF each strip being woven into light
fabric and the rest falling loose. The
wearer of this garment rustles as he
walks, and the rain pattering upon II
makes a pleasant sound. Arrived at
the house, he takes OF his palm.leaf
hat. shakes II, and hangs 1t up to dry.
Then he slips on his chino, shakes
that also, and hangs 1t up. He bim-
self Is untouched by the rain, but the
chino. as It hangs up, looks like a
huge, damp. brown cassock. Surely
this raincoat is the quaintest In the
world.

GAINED FAME AS PUGILlST
John Broughton, English Fighter, Only
Man Credited With Having Won
Two Priced Distinctions.

John BrOughtOn, alone among Eng
fish professional pugilists. can claim
the double distinction of an Abbey fu-
neral and having had dedicated to him
Il poem by the poet laureate. 1t was
in 1744 that Paul Whitehead published
his "Gymnasia," or Boxing Match"
which he inscribed, ITO the most puts
SAINT and invincible Mr.. John BrOugh-
ton" As carly as 1870 Broughton had
achieved athletic distinction as the
winner of Doggett's Coat and Badge.
The Science of boxing owes much to
BroughtoE. "He promulgated code
for the guidance of the combatants and
the satisfaction of the Judges" writes
Mr.. Guy Nickalls. His new rules were
agreed upon by pugilists and approved
of by the gentlemen on August Is, 1143,
and lasted in perfect integrity until
1888, a period of nearly 100 years. He
introduced science and humanity into
what was up till then barbarous
sport, by not only inventing defensive
guards, but also preventing man
being hit when he was down. He also
introduced gloves or muffiers for con-
Quoting mock combats or sparring
| matches" Broughton's patron was
the duke of Cumberland, who made him
yeOfnGn of the guard.

FINE FLAVOR G. VEGETABLES
Improved or imps red by Fertilizer
EmpIoycd--Tos Much Nitrogen
Makes Strawberry Soft.

Aside from considerations Of mellow
soil and sufficient moisture, the flavor
and other qualities OF vegetables are
improved or impal,1d by the fertilizers
employed. The peculiar processes with
In the soil or within the plant itself
which produce these conditions OF
flavor are difficult to understand, but
1t Is n fact that varieties of fruits and
vegetables will show such Improvement
under favorable CO, ditions Of fertillza-
ton as hardly to Ge recognized.
Hog manure use1 alone sometimes
gives an unpleasant flavor To celery
and root crops. Ii also tnlnts tobacco.
An excess Of phosphates helps to give
tomatoes sweeter flavor. Salt Is
very helpful to the quality of aspara-
gus, onions and celery. II makes. the
potash in the soil active. 1t is used
at the rate of 200 pounds to the acre.
Pigeon manure helps to develop
melons Of fine flavor. Beets grown ON
soil fertilized with poultry manure
and ashes develop a fine, sweet flavor.
Poultry and barnyard manures I'm
prove the quality of onions. Fresh
barnyard manure impairs the ship
ping qualities Of Strawberries. Too
much nitrogen makes the fruit soft
er but unleached wood ashes with we'll
rotted manure improves the quality of
the berries. An excess Of nitrogen
has a peculiar effect upon the Stone
variety of tomatoes tending to make
the blossoms drop. 1t also tends to
make them sterile.

Women Live Longer.

Women on the average live a trife
more than three years longer than
men, according to a set of tables
published by Sam L. Rogers, director
of the census bureau, showing the
death rate and the ratio of expecta-
ton of life in New England states,
New York state, New Jersey, Indi-
ana, Michigan and the District of
Columbia. The figures are the first
of the sort ever prepared by the
United States government and are
similar to those compiled by the
large insurance companies, except
that they cover the entire population
OF the specified districts, and not only
the risks selected through medical
examination and otherwise.
According to the tabulations, the
average expectation of life at birth
or males is 4e.9 wars and for femal, s
53.2 years. For white males the ex
pectation is 500 years and for whit
white females 53.6 years. For native
white males the average is sos years
and for native white females 54.:

percentage is cut down because o

MARRIAGE NOT TIE WAY OUT
Working Girl May Find Her Lot
Harder Than Ever When She
Enters WedIoSk.

One Of the most seriOis obstacles
"a womans advancement in Industrial
life Is the general feeling on the part
Of the womnn that II isn't going to be
necessary to work for any great
length of time, because the knight
will soon be coming along. when she
will have home of her own, declares
Detroit Journal.
"What's the use?" many a woman
has said when 1t was suggested to her
that she give more thought to her
task. "Thc work Is only Temporary
so what is the use OF bothering ones
brain with thinking out detailsr
The exaggerated expectations OF
girls as to the Improvement OF their
lot when married in the matter Of
work is something wonderful. Society
helps to accentuate this belief by
society frowning on woman workers
and insisting that they go to house
keeping and get out of the industrial
grind.
Now woman In "the lower walks
of life" as one puts IL, which means
woman who is one Of family with
an income less than will support all
the members on the wages Of the
father, cannot escape work by getting
married. ~
With married life on small income
the necessity of work is more pressing
than when single. For married life
presupposes more than one stomach to
be fed or one back to be clothed. In
| due time, ordinarily, there will be
three, four or five mouths to be fed
| and backs to he clothed. Work? Most
women know little about work until
they are married.
SO married life is not an escape
from work. The woman who does not
become IA "hcipmeet," instead OF being
simply "hclp eat" has missed her
calling in getting married, just as she
| missed her calling when employed in
store or factory or office in not becom-
| ing efficient.

comes from every section. In re-
Spouse to this desire the chairman of
the Speakers Bureau, Arthur B.
Rouse, laid claim to his time, but it
was so completely filled that the great

speak from Franklin all along the line
to Elizabethtown, where the last and
principal speech of the day will be
made and where great preparations
