he FREE TO DO WHAT HE OUGHT TO DO?

Waae Increase Issue.

Former Justice Hughes, of all men,
would be the last to seek to frustrate
the true interests of labor and to muz-
zle the OK that treads out the grain.
He believes, as all fair-minded per-
sons believe, that the laborer is worthy
of his hire. And he believes. also.
that the lessening of the hours of la
Dor is both humane and an eco
nomic and social advance. Yet Mr.
Hughes is brave enough and patri-
otic enough to drive the shafts of his
logic through the sham of the wage

gress at the behest of the president

Poor Substitute for Protection.

protection the idea of going out and

competition with foreign workingmen
who labor longer hours at lower wages.
If the war lasts indefinitely, of course
all will be well. The war furnishes

really prohibitive-New York Herald.

Administration to Blame.

Some weeks ago when it was an.
nounced in the Republican press of
the country that clever swindlers in
various communities were preparing
to take advantage of the misty verbi-
age of the rural credits law to put
something over on the farmers, the
Washington administration gave voice
to a most dOlorous wall and protested
that 1t was viciously partisan report
put out In order to discredit the new
law. Now, however, we are informed
that the government has finally
awakened to the fact that swindlers
really were operating and that the
farmers 1t reassured are out immense
sums of money. One concern alone
is charged with having got away
with $350000, and others We're almost
equally successful. And the Washing
ton administration, by It's indignant
denial of the Republican report now
stands in the attitude of having acted

ALWAYS THE SAME STORY
Democratic Tinkering With the Tariff
Has Resulted in Disaster to the
Country.

How the Democratic toriff now in
force destroyed protection to the
American farmer, manufacturer and
workingman and failed to produce
even revenue for the government, was
brought out by United States Senator
knute Nelson of Minnesota while the
revenue bill was under consideration
in the closing days of the recent ses-
sion of congress.
I'm making their first assault upon
the tariF President Wilson and his
party followed in the wake of Presi-
dent Cleveland and his administration
in 1884" he said. "It is always the
tariff that is an eyesore to the Demo-
cratic party.
The avOwed purpose of the law was
to destroy protection and to produce
revenue. 1t was successful as a de-
stroyer of protection, but an utter fail
ure as revenue provider."
AS proof of this statement he read
table of official figures, which showed
that imports had increased from ST.
556,947, ,430 under the Payne law in
1910, to $2,197 ,Ss3,51O under the Un-
derwood law in 1916, while duties col
lected had dropped from 1888, ,6S3, AS
in 1910 to $211, ,S66,222 in 1916. In
other words, while foreign producers
had brought to this country half bill
lion dollars additional goods to COM
pete with Americans in their own mar
ket, the governments revenues had
dropped considerably more than hun
dred million dollars.

Comfort From Bryan.

"The president" declares william
Jennings Bryan rs he swings into the
campaign with his personal publica-
ton, ''is n lucky man. The ravens
brought him the strike, and by doing
the right thing at the right time and
in the right way, he made good po-
litical meal out of it."
There are two interesting and valu-
able features to this statement. One
is the virtual admission that political
considerations decided the course
which Wilson took in regard to the
threatened railroad strike. The other
is the well-known fact that Bryan's
conception of the right thing to do po-
litically usually proves, when the votes
are counted, to be wrong.

place pieces of sod on them to hold
them in place. If this is not done,
they will be sure to spring back to
an upright position before you get
them covered.
Cover with dry earth to the depth
of four inches. If leaves are used, it
will be necessary to make a little pen
to confine the leaves.
After covering the bushes with soil
or leaves provide a second covering
of boards, or something that will shed
rain. If water is allowed to settle in
to the soil above the bushes, and re-
main there, they will be greatly in
jured by it. One must plan to keep
the covering as dry as possible. This
is of the greatest Importance If the
ground is not well drained, make little
bitches between your plants in the fall,
for surplus to run into.
If tiny seedlings are to be potted off,
then the thumb pot may be best for
the first transplanting, but even mere
l would use small, shallow boxes for
flats" until the second or third trans
planting would bring the plants up
to where they are ready for the three
inch pots, or the open ground.
The commercial grower who must
economiZe in space, and gives con-
stant attention to the plants, has use
for the smallest pots, but they are
nuisance to the average grower OF
plants.

POINTS IN POTTING PLANTS
BY EVA RYMAN-eAlLLARo.

py EVA N M
Plants grown for beauty of their
foliage should be given rather large
pots, holding plenty of rich soil, while
those grown for blossoms should be in
smaller ones.
Root-bound plants seem to produce
more and finer blossoms, but this
should not be construed to mean keep
ing them so tightly root-bound that
they starve to death
When the pot is full of roots shift
the plant to one an inch or two larger,
and fill the space with good soil.
Never fill a pot so full of soil that
the water runs off the top instead of
settling into the soil. Leave a space
vacant in the top of the pot, an inch or
more, according to the size of the pot
and the amount of water needed by
the plant.
For plants having hard, woody
stems. the soil may be level on the
surface. and no harm is done as the
water standing around the stem will
not injure it. but for soft, crown-cen-
tered plants like the primrose, the
soil should be higher in the center
than at the edge.
1t is well, too. to avoid pouring wa
ter into the crown of the plant, as the
manner in which the leaves come up
makes them drain the water down in

COLD FRAMES FOR WINTERIMG
PLANTS
BY L. M. BENNINGTON.

Successful gardening depends on
early production. Cold frame plants
are more certain to live than hotbed
plants and give a larger per cent Of
good stuff than do the more tender
hotbed plants.
To construct one use two frames in
stead of one. The larger frame is four
and one-half feet by seven and one-half
feet and one foot deep. The inner one
is one foot smaller each way and only
eight inches deep.
The space all around the inner
frame, six inches wide, is filled with
dry sawdust well packed down.
The covering for the inner frame is
a glass-covered sash made to fit quite
close to the frame to exclude the air.
The outer frame is covered with an
oiled canvassed frame so as to be wa
terproof.
A strip of carpet, or other good
material, is kept over the inner sash
in severe weather.
We prefer shallow frames to keep
the plants from growing spindling.
We choose location free from cold
winds and where a good exposure to
the sun can be had.
In such a frame there are 3,276
square inches, and allowing three
square inches to the plant, one can
have over 1000 plants per frame.
Good rich soil is used and the under
soil is made quite loose to give a
chance for root growth. 1t is best to
grow the plants in the open and trans
plant on the approach of severe
weather.
Frames of larger size are not
easily handled. nor can the same pro-
lection be given them. On mild days
we give light to the plants by remov-
ing the outer sash, and if safe we raise
the inner sash to admit fresh air.
These frames are not expensive where
one can do his own work and they add
good per cent to the investment.

All Hurt by Democratic Tariff.

A leading grain dealer of the central
ing statement: "While in New York
last week 1 purchased 5000 bushels
of Russian clover seed which is now
in storage at Vladivostok. This seed
l will not have to pay for until 1t is
set down for me in New York, and it
comes with insurance paid and gov
ernment inspection guaranteed.
pay for this seed trifie over SO a
bushel, and will be able to clean up a
handsome profit on it. Several months
ago l made a similar turn on alfalfa
seed. This seed was brought from the
interior overland loaded on the trans
Siberian railroad, taken to Vladivo-
stok, placed on shipboard and brought
to New York, where it was put down
for me at six cents a pound lower
than the market in this country. One
might fancy from this fact that / am
in favor of the present tariff law, but
l most emphatically am not. To be
sure it enables me for the time be-
ing to pile up big profits, but after all
it is undermining the prosperity and
welfare of the American farmer and
in the long run it is the American
farmer I must look to for the main
tenance of my business. What helps
him helps me, and what hurts him
hurts me. Incidentally it hurts the
whole country, too, for when you get
right down to brass tacks this coun-
try is essentially agricultural, and it
is going to continue so for a good
many years to come"
