The Parties and
the Dear PeODIe


David Lawrence in one of his reports
OF the effects produced by the presi-
dents speeches made one reflection
that has great significance. He said:
Nothing seems to strike the big
audience as more apropos or apt
than denunciation of the party
maneuvers that keep the American
public perplexed and bewildered about
national and international policy One
might have thought that the roof was
coming down when the president di-
gressingly remarked to a packed au-
Aitorium of fifteen thousand people
that he sometimes wished sboth par
ties might be smothered in their own
Gas"
Plainly the professionals are not
aware of it, but there never was. a
time when politics as such and poll
ticians as such, in and out of congress,
were SO bankrupt in popularity, so
lacking in appeal to public sympathy.
Though the beginning of that con-
tition predates the war, its present
Acuteness is due to the fact that one
Of the wars disclosures was that there
ii no closed season for malignant par
tisan politics, not even In moments OF
greatest national peril Opposition
politicians have so constantly shouted
that the administration was wrong
whatever it proposed and whatever il
did, that the shout now brings nothing
but an amused smile. The public
knows how to value it; and moreover
it knows that if the Republicans had
happened to be in power and the Dem.
ocrats out of power, much the same
thing would have happened.
The fact is that, especially in times
bf great crisis and change. there is
nothing emptier and more futile thar
playing politics for mere party advan,
aage. The fact is that the parties
have become but feeble instruments tt

Barberry Sprouts Need Attention Now.

Barberry eradication campaign lea
ders in Minnesota give warning that
many roots of the common barberry,
Inadvertently left in the ground by the
diggers have sent up sprouts that un-
less dug out at once, will be ready tc
spread black stem rust to grain ana
grasses another year. Letters from
University Farm addressed to owners
of premises on which barberry was
condemned the present year say: If
you have any common barDerry
sprouts growing where bushes were
removed early this year, dig them out
TODAY. Do not wait until tomorrow or
next spring. Get rid of the common
barberry completely at once" Era
dication scouts having their headquar-
tiers at University Farm Travelled To-
col miles by automobiles in Mime
sofa this year and located 1880 plant
ings of harmful barberry. Barberry
bushes located and condemned num-
bered 52.772. Of these 1858 bushes
were found on 339 farms.

Exclusively with his hands, but who,
if he stopped to consider would realize

Here and there is the long process of
the ages there has been gleam of
light from individuals and from groups
of men. and in 1776 theoretical sun
arose, called the Declaration of Inde-

world. Is it to prove to be pale, ane-

The long, long fight from John at
Runny-mede to Haig and Pershing IN
Flanders and in France seems to have
been fought under the battle cry "my

to have been to seize the instruments
of power and to WELD them regardless
of my duty and regardless of the
rights of others.

is because they are mainly abandoned
by the rank and file and left exclu-

my RIGHT is "MY DUTY"
Vice-president Thomas R. Marshall IN
New York Times.

Vice-president Thomas r. Marshall IN
New York Times.
The ancient battle cry of the Tenn
plars was "God and my right" 1t
/ this could have come down through
| the ages as the battle cry of mankind
many evils might have been prevent
ed. for he who contemplates God with
His compromises and concessions be-
tween contending forces in nature
would have been inevitably impressed
with the great truth that "my right
is not fixed, definite and unbending
privilege to be, to think and. to do
what | please. "My right" is rather
my duty to so adjust my aims and
my efforts as to produce harmony IN
civil society.
Humanity, striving for higher and
better things, particularly as exem-
plified among English speaking peo-
pies, soon clipped the Templars' mot
to into just "my right" The king who
foolishly thought he ruled by right
divine and that he could do no wrong
interpreted "my right" to mean "my
will" and regarded all other forces of
life and society as subservient there
to.
Such definition of "my right" in
evitably produced friction, such fric-
tion that at Runnymede the barons
vested the great charter of English
liberty from their overload. And yet
they learned but little The battle cry
was still my right" and they assum-
ed that all the other wishes of man
kind were held in bondage to their
own; and thus the laws were largely
made for themselves, incidentally for
others.
With the printing press, knowledge
came, and the socalled great middle
class of the world, more especially the
businessman, took charge of the con-

lative bodies. And still wisdom lin

objective is, work toward it as rap

reached it pick up your hat and say

1920 Is Lean Year.

With the New Year only about
FIVE weeks away interest natur-
ally begins to quicken in the APP
proach of 1920. Already calen-
dars and almanacs displaying
the numerals that mark the
coming twelve months are to be
seen in the stationery shops,
1t is almost unnecessary to
state that New Years Day falls
on Thursday, for every young
ster in Christendom has already
consulted the calendar to find
out on what day Christmas will
come, and has found out that the
festival falls on Thursday.
Grown-ups, being aware that
New Years day is just one week
later, have drawn the natural
conclusion.
Old Christmas, the festival
that is known by the name of
Epiphany, the Fete DIES Rois, and
Twelfth Night, falls twelve
days after Christmas on Tues
day, January 6. Lent will come
in fairly early in 1920 for the
social season will close with the
coming of Ash Wednesday on
February Is, February will pro-
duce another day Of interest to
the general public, and that will
be Sunday, February 20. For
1920 will be a Leap Year, though
unfortunately the twenty-ninth
does not happen to fall on a week
day this time, so some OF the
usual merry-making will be o.
mitted.
Easter will come early-on
April 4, which will make the
dates Of the two accompanying
holidays. Good Friday and East
er Monday, fall on April End
and Bird.

should be used in active work to

and in planning next seasons
field work so that the fields will
be planted and cultivated across
the slope or around the hill.
Then the rows will not run
straight down the slope and
thereby furnish the steepest
possible channel for the run-off
from rains. Those who have
such winter cover crops as rye

Protecting Orchard Trees.

Each winter considerable dam
age is done to young fruit trees
by rabbits and field mice. They
gnaw the bark near the surface
Of the grounl and in extreme
cases the trees are entirely Cir
died. Often such injured trees
may be saved if suitable meas
ures are taken promptly; but
a much better plan is to protect
the trees from injury in the first
place. This can be done by plac-
ing around each one a tree pro-
tector, made of closely woven
galvanized iron wire or of thin
wood veneer. The wire protec-
tors are more satisfactory in
some ways; but the veneer pro-
t%ectors are cheaper and are
much more generally used. They
can be obtained from almost any
firm dealing in berry boxes or
baskets or general horticultural
supplies. They cost from 81 to
S1.25 a hundred and last for sew
eral years. A few trees in the
home orchard can be protected
from rabbits and mice by wrap
ping their trunks with heavy
paper and tying it in place. This,
however, is too slow and expen-
sive to be practicable in large
commercial plantations.

Dump Brush And Straw Into
bitches.

Brush and straw piles that
will be in the way next spring
should be hauled away and US
ed to stop soil washing. Aside
from using straw as bedding for
live stock, or spreading it over
fields, this is perhaps the best
use to make of it. Everyone has
seen enormous gullies cut in a
single season and years spent in
trying to undo the mischief. The
moral is, stop the washing while
the ditch is small.
Small gullies that have Just
started in corfelds or wheat
fields or even in pastures and
meadows may often be stopped
with a little straw. Even cattle
paths in pastures often deepen
so that they need such treat
ment. In other places it is nee
essary to plan to SOW sorghum
to stop washing, but if the Gull
lies are more than foot deep and
two or three feet wide it is us
ually better to use brush.
The brush dam gives better
results if straw is mixed with
the brush to help hold the dirt.
Wherever the fall is great e.
nough to make the water cut
seriously it is likely to be nee
essary to stake down the brush
and straw so that they will not
be washed away.

Use For Fallen Leaves.

Fallen leaves should be raked
off the lawn and piled in some
out-of-the-way place and allow
ed to decay. They are useful in
the garden when well decayed.
They can be worked thru the
compost heap to advantage, or
may be used in protecting ten
der plants from the cold. Altho
leaves have little value in terms
of fertilizer elements, they are
TOO valuable to be burned.
