STARVING ROOTS OF WEEDS
u Foliage Of Plant 10 Constantly De
stroyed Death 10 Only Mere Mat
ter Of Time.

Perennial weeds of oil kinds must
be cut repeatedly to starve out the
underground roots or stems. If the
foliage of the plant is constantly de-
stroyed, the death Of the plant is only
matter of time and will be caused
directly by root starvation.
Any breaking or cultivation of the
soil in which these plants grow only
serves the purpose Of scattering them
unless that cultivation is persistent
enough to keep down all growth OF
foliage.

HENEY NEVER A REPUBLICAN,.
est. Louis Globe Democracy

| Francis ]. Heney of California Is
out for Wilson, in a misleading state
ment. Mr. Heney never was a re-
publican and never professed to be
one. In the biographical sketch he
contributed to Who's Who in America,
for 19OS-1909, 1910-1911 and 1912-1913,
he called himself Roosevelt demo-
crat. His right to sit on a proxy in
the republican national committee in
1912 was questioned, on this ground.
His talk of Barnes forcing thsenomin-
alton of Hughes is an example of his
habitual recklessness of statement.
Barnes was opposed to the nomina-
ton of Hughes and the Roosevelt
libel suit showed his luminosity was of
long standing. Mr. Heney, had he
been franker, would have mentioned
the criticisms he heaped on Hiram
Johnson when the latter was reflect
ed governor Of California in 1914 by
lSS,5O5 plurality, while Heney run
ming on the same ticket, was defeated
for United States senator by 24,664.
Johnson is for Hughes and the anti
Johnson delegation from California
voted for Hughes on every ballot at
chicago. Mr.. Heney has personal rea-
sons for becoming Wilson instead of

Why are not city prisoners requir-
ed to work on the streets In accord
ance with the sentence imposed upon
them by Police Magistrate Walker?
The people would like an answer to
this question from Mayor Mowery or
his chief of police. The usual SEN
tence is fine, or upon failure TO pay
1t, certain number of days at hard
labor. But instead of carrying out
the sentence, the jail generally has
from one to half a dozen prisoners
being fed at the expense of the city.
The average culprit finds no punish
ment in this. On the contrary, he en-
joys having his meals brought to him
regularly and finds pleasant pastime
in pinochle and refreshing maps be-

to Jail in default of paying his fine
should be required to work ON the
streets for every day of his sentence.

explain why they fail to carry out the

EFFORT SHOULD BE MADE TO
BRING HUGHES TO WALLACE.

1t has been definitely decided that
Charles Evans Hughes, republican
candidate for president, will make a
tour Of the western states next month
and that his itinerary includes the
states of the northwest. The details
of his tour have not yet been worked
out, and for that reason those places
which desire to be on his schedule for
a speech should lose no time In maxi
ing their wishes known. We believe
II the matter is presented through the
proper channel arrangements can be
made to have the presidential eandi-
date stop at Wallace and deliver an
address, which would afford an oppor-
tunity for every citizen of the Occur
G'Alene district to hear him. 1t Is sug-
gested that the matter be taken up by
the county republican organization
and In this manner enlist the support
of Chairman Evans, of the republican
state committee, and Senator Borah.
Unquestionably Chairman Evans will
be consulted In regard to. the place or

Senator Borah was an original Hughes
man in the national convention and
was perhaps the most influential fac
tor in securing his nomination. A re-
quest from him to have Wallace in
eluded in Mr. Hughes speaking points
would unquestionably receive favor
able action, unless 1t came too late. 1t
Is necessary, therefore, if any action
Is taken, that 1t should be done with
