To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: There is a portion of DR.. But
ler's cuticle that I think you have not
removed in your admirable editorials of
yesterday and to-day.
OF course, Dr. Buffers sole defense
for his mendacious ISLANDERS is the al
legged use of money in furthering Gem
eral Woods candidacy Now, while you
have sufficiently indicated the fact that
whatever may be in this charge applies
with still greater force to the Lowden
candidacy, you have not emphasized the
infamy of such a "purist' as Butler,
shocked by the disclosures affecting
Wood, in brazenly approving the trans
fer of New York's votes to Lowden, two
of whose delegates were confessedy
purchased outright
There is no other state in which Cen
eral Wood has more friends or unon
whose suffrage General Wood had a
higher claim than our own State of New
York, in which are located the headuuar-
ters of the Department OF the East.
Plattsburg and the Roosevelt home. To
betray the Republican voters Of this
state, to doubt the Roosevelt followir g
and to throw away perhaps million
votes in the Presidential election were
bad enough but where the sole pretoxt
was and is the use of money to pro
mote Woods candidacy, to throw the
nominating votes which should have
been cast for Wood to Lowden was, in
my opinion, the crowning outrage
The continuance Of the Democra tic
party in power for another four years
would be an unspeakabe calamity, and
of course you are right in insisting that
every Republican should rally to the
support of the ticket which has been
nominated. but unless the bosses who
put over the Lowden- Harding deal can
muzzle such men as DR.. Butler we may
as we'll throw up the sponge

REPUBLIC TRUCK

Largest Makers of Trucks in
World Must Put Out Good
Trucks or They Would Not

Everyone knows that frequently an
excellent theory fails to make good
practice but there is one manufactur-
er of mootr trucks whose theories
worked out so well that every user
of Republic trucks is high in his praise
of that make of commercial vehicle.
The makers of Republic trucks
knew if they built vehicle with usual
economy under extremes of use and
misuse that it would make the Repub-
lie the largest selling motor truck in
the world.
When the keen mind of the business
man realizes that fact he Immediately
says to himself "that truck must be
right or the Republic factory could not
have become the largest makers of
commercial vehicles in the world"
"That single sentence speaks vol
umes for Republic performance, long
life, and every other factor that en-
ters into the successful use of a mo-
tor truck" according to the Imperial
General Sales Co. and they are selling
every Republic the factory can send

OLD CANNON BALL

VANCOUVER, B. c., April 17.-An
old fashioned cannon ball Of the %
pound variety, used many years ago
on this coast by the admiralty ships,
caused the False Creek Lumber Co. a
loss of $3.50 the other day. 1t was
embedded in the center of huge log
cut at Duncan Bay. The tree had
grown around the ball and concealed
it so well that it was not discovered
until the saw struck it. The missile

he went to attend a conference
of nearly 100 teachers now en-
pIoyed in that work in Missis-
sippi. Speaking of the address
of DR.. &. w. Carver, the Tus-
kogea negro scientist, Professor
Hubbard declares him the most
remarkable negro the world has
ever known-a genius, a wonder
a wizard.
For several years DR.. Carver,
very ordinary looking negro,
ras been experimenting with
sweet potatoes and peanuts, and
50 great has been his successes
that he has attracted the atten-
ton Of scientists the world over.
He has been offered marvellous
salaries by some Of the biggest

ry-all on account Of the posi-
bilities OF the sweet potato and

toes he already has extracted
ninty-nlne separate and distinct
valuable produrts; from peanuts
he has made li5 different arti-
cles Of FOOD and other products
of commercial importance in
Gliding tnirty-two kinds Of

DR.. Carver explained to his
intensely interested audience
that his rubber from sweet po-
tatoes is not Yet daite ready to
put on the market, but soon
will be. He has been offered
fabulous sums for his formula.
A large number of these pro-
ducts from potatoes and pa
nuts were exhibited and eX-
planned to his hearers and at the
conclusion Of his talk the entire
audience rushed to the platform
to thank him for his entertain
ment.
Dr.. Carver is said to have been
born in Kentucky. He is not a
fluent speaker, but informed
his audience that when he was
ninteen ears of age he could
not talk inteIligently not so as

LOOKED LIKE A CEMETERY
How the Town of Tombstone, Arizona,
Acquired Its Somewhat Crew.
some cognomen.

A prospectOr's curious sense of hu.
NOR was responsible for the naming OF
Tombstone, Ariz. According to James
r. Duncan, who went there in 1879
the town was founded in that year by
Ed Schieffelin, mining prospector
Schieffelin called his mine near the
site of the present courthouse "Tomb.
stone mine" Duncan said, because thu
region was full of drab rocks that re.
sembled tombstones.
Tradition has it, however, thai
Schieffeln's friends frequently rallied
him for his faith in the locality, and
told him that he would find his tomb
stone here After the prospectOr had
made his fortune here, in good-natured
irony he is said to have named the
town after the fate that had been pre-
dicted for him.
Schieffelin was found dead in a
log cabin in the state of Washington
May T. 1897. According to his wishes.
his body was taken back to his ''tomb.
stone" and buried near there. His
pickax and other tools were buried
with him. Above the grave his friends
erected a simple monument, fashioned
after the rude manner Of prospec-
tors claim stake--merely pile of I'M
evenly-shaped rocks.

How Batteries Are Tested.

If you are away from home and
have have to deal with a storage bat
terry Of which the polarity markings
are Obliterated, here is a simple test
that will instantly reveal to you which
is the positive and which the negative
pole. It is given by Windsor Crowell
in the Popular Science Monthly.
Get a fresh potato; cut a slice off
one side, and stick the terminal wires
into the cut section, about an inch
apart. The potato in contact with one
wire begins to turn green. This is
the positive pole, therefore the other
is the negative.
Suppose you have no potato handy
to make the test, proceed as follows
Pour a little of the electrolytic solu-
ton from the battery into a glass.
place both wires in it, well apart, and
watch the bubbles rise from them.
Many more will rise from the negative
side than from the positive.

Why Workers Demand Music.

1t is fairly wellknown that In. GER
tain parts Of the world natives refuse
to work at roadbuilding and kindred
pursuits unless they have the accom-
papiment of music. The part played
by music In sailors tasks is common
knowledge. Less known by far is the
role of music in carpet-weaving, and
its delicate adjustment to the various
cofors involved. In British India the
carpets are woven to particular
tune. The custom hanks back to
time immemorial. The leader of the
group chants the song in mo-
notonous, quasi-liturgica style, and
the song varies according to the color
% the carpet. being repeated by all
Il e weavers in a chorus. If the gen.
er.l color Of the carpet is pale. the
chant is monotonous; If it is bright
hue, the chorus becomes animated.

BESTOW THOUGHT ON GARDEN
Promiscuous Planting of Flowers,
Trees, and Shrubs Is Not to Be
Recommended.

The main planting of any country
place should be of trees and shrubs.
Flowers should be used as decorations.
They may be thrown in freely about
the borders of the place; not in beds
in the center of the lawn. They show
off better when seen against a back
ground; this background may be TO-
liage. a building, a rock or fence.
Where to plant flowers is really
more important than what to plant.
In front of bushes, in the corner by
the steps, against the foundation OF
the residence or dollhouse, along a
fence or walk-these are the places
for flowers A single petunia plant
against a background of foliage is
worth dozen similar .plants in the
center of the lawn. Too many flowers
make a place overgaudy. Too much
paint may spoil the effect of a good
building. The decoration of yard
IS of house, should be dainty.
The open-centered yard may be a
picture, the nTomiscuously-pla planted
ward may be a nursery or forest. A
little color scattered in here and there
puts the finish to the picture. A dash
of color gives spirit and character to
the brook or pond, to the ledge of
rocks, to the old stump or to TIE
pile of rubbish.

NUT TREES FOR RoADWAYs
WaInuts Bring Eight Dollars Bushel,
Says Writer in Making Sug-
uestions for Planting.

Naples, poplars, elms, willows and
the ailanthus are seen along roadways
and in parks wherever public ambition
for shade has been sufficient in de-
gree to induce authorities to put in
trees of one sort or another. For the
most part our northern highways are
unshaded except by such trees as may
accidentally spring up by the roadside,
and, after competition with various
enemies, finally reach above the
fences, writes Robert T. Morris,
member of the American Forestry as
sociation of Washington, in The
American City on "Nut Trees for
Roads and Parks" Trees for city
roads and parks, particularly in the
larger cities, are often enough selected
by some nurseryman favored by the
political powers that be, and the nur
seryman furnishes what he wishes TO
supply the uncritical purchaser. The
time for this sort of procedure is
passing, and people are beginning to
awaken on the subject.
Progress in civilization along this
line will mean that we are gradually
to dispose Of the kind of trees that
furnish nothing but punches of leaves
which in due season litter the ground
and when swept up contain nothing
more than incidental trash. Now, If
these trees were to give place to nut
trees and fruit trees, there would be
very much besides leaves to be swept
up in the autumn. One Of my friends
in Illinois told me that in 1918 he re-
ceived SO per bushel for his black wal
nuts of particularly good kind, and
that some of the trees bore as many
as IA bushels to the tree.
