 POLITICAL TREND

New York, April 1S.-(Special.) )-Presi- dent Wilson was never stronger political ly than at present, because he has kept the United States out of war, according to Nathan Straus, who. with Mrs. Straus, returned yesterday to New York after a brief sojourn in California. MT. Straus says he believes the President s reelection is practically assured, no mat ter whom the republicans nominate to run against him.
 "The whole world Is war mad" said MT. Straus. "The United States is the only country where there is peace. Pres ident Wilson has striven constantly to preserve peace, and the people approve of his efforts. He is gaining new adher- ents each day, and I doubt if Colonel Roosevelt, or whenever the republicans put up, will be able to defeat him.
 The popularity of Wilson is not con fined to the democratic party MT. straus said. He found voters of every political utilization who gave unstinting praise to the President and who announced their determination to cast their votes for him on election day.
 OpSdhlnS Ol Lue unpTGc6QenI6Q pIOS- perity throughout the country, MT. Straus declared that while to a large extent 1t was attributable to the war. yet he be- lieved the country had entered into an era of good business, which nothing could have prevented
 MT. Straus said the sentiment through out the west was in favor of adequate preparedness. The desire to remain at peace with the world, however. was up- permost in the peoples minds

 He regards existing conditions south Of the Rio Grande as proof positive of national unpreparedness and the total inadequacy of the United States military establishment. He takes the position that iE. the six weeks which have elapsed since the Columbus affair all the administra- ton has been able to accomplish amounts to nothing but a pitable exposure of the countrys military weakness.

CITY BEAUTIFUL
 HINTS FOR SPRING
TUBEROSES

The tuberose is a plant which every body admires but which is seldom seen in amateur gardeners collections. The gen eral impression is that it is not an easy plant to grow. Such is not the case, however. It can be grown successfully by any one who is willing to give it a lit tie attention. Tubers should be obtained in March or April. They should be planted in pots containing sandy garden loam into which liberal amount of good fertilizer has been thoroughly worked. If the tubers are small, two or three can be put into each seven-inch pot used. Before planting them the mass of dried roots which will generally be found ad- herring to the base of the tuber should be cut away with thin, sharp-blad knife. If this is not done, these roots often de- cay and the diseased condition will be communicated to the tuber and cause it to die or, if death does not result, to become so unhealthy that it will fail to bloom.
 The plants can be thinned out of their pots when the weather becomes warm and grown in the garden through the summer, but it is not advisable for it will be necessary to lift and pot them before frosty nights come, as they are very tender and little disturbance of their roots at this time may cause their buds to blast. It is urged to keep them in pots throughout the season, as, if this is done you always have them under con trol.
 The flowers of the tuberose are ivory white in color. They are of thick, waxen texture, and have that heavy, rich fra grance that characterizes the magnolia and the cape jasmine of the south. They are borne in a spike at the exterm ity of tall stalks, thus being very effective for cutting. Because of their thick tex ture they last for long time after cut ting. Plants in pots remain in bloom for a month or six weeks Every lover of de,icously fragant flowers will do we'll to grow at least half a dozen of them to do duty in the window garden in fall.
 A second crop of flowers need not be expected from a tuber that has borne one crop. In order to make sure of bloom, it will be necessary to purchase fresh tubers each spring.
