DEMOCRATS VOTE TO
ACCEPT RESERVATIONS

Two more of the republican reser-
vations to the peace treaty, one Of
them affecting the bitterly debated
Monroe doctrine provision, were re-
adopted in the senate at Washington
Tuesday without change and by
greater majorities than they COM
manded when originally presented
last November.
The Monroe doctrine reservation.
which senators have been told is
scarcely less objectionable to Presi-
dent Wilson than that relating to
Article 10. got the support of IS
democrats and won by a vote Of So
to 20, after q substitute drafted by
the democratic leaders had been re-
jected. The vote on the republican
proposal was IS to "a in November,
when only . democrats supported 1t.
The other reservation acted on as
serts the full Jurisdiction of the I'M
tied States over purely domestic
questions, was adopted Sc to rs with
IA democrats helping to make up thP
majority. In November It got tEe
votes Of only II democrats and was
adopted So to SO.

ceding that the successive roll calls
were merely formalities to let every
one 60 on record once more before
the final deadlock, which now gener-
ally b expected to put the treaty 0v-
er into the campaign.
On the Monroe doctrine reserva-
tion several democrats who did not
vote for adoption in November
swung over to the republicans on
roll call. They were Senators
Beckham, Kentucky; Fletcher, Flor
ida: Pittman and Henderson, Neva-
da; King, Utah; Smith, Georgia; and
Meyers, Montana. Their detection
on that issue was declared by the re-
publicans to be significant develop
ment in regard to information reach
ing democratic senators that the
president had singled out the Mon
roe doctrine and Article 10 reserva-
ton az particularly Objectionable.
On the democratic substitute pre-
scented by Senator Hitchcock of Me-
braska. the party leader the vote was
strictly on party lines except for
Senators Reed, Missouri; and Shields
of Tennessee, who voted with repub-
licans in 0pposition.

GENERAL WOOD HAS
ANNOUNCED HIS PLATFORM


Following is the statement of polit-
zeal principles recently issued by
General Leonard Wood one of the as
pirants for the republican presiden-
tial nomination:
We must spread the war burden
over longer period of years than at
the strangle hold of excess profit tax
should receive all possible encourage
ment.
"The railroads should be returned
to private ownership and continued
under private ownership, subject to
such governmental supervision as
will result in equitable rates, proper
handling of Interstate question, etc.
sour International policy should
be a strong, dignified' and conserva-
tive policy, speak softly but carry q
big stick, love peace and the square
deal; but be ready to protect Ameri-
can trade and American interests.
"A small but excellent army and
ever ready navy.
"A well equipped diplomatic and
consular service. This is our first
line of defense and vitality import
ant element in maintaining peace and
in building up trade and commerce.
Capital and labor-Relations be-
tween capital and labor, between
those who work and those who direct,
must be on the basis of square deal
to labor and square deal to capt.
tai; wage which, with thrift and
industry, will enable man to live
and save. We must provide the nes-,
essary machinery to promptly in
vestigate conditions at issue In
strikes and for making the same pub
lie. We can largely control these
conditions through sound public
opinion: but sound public opinion
cannot be created without intelligent
and frank publicity. We strive to
increase the human element in the
relations between employers and em-
ployes. We must see that labor has
suitable working conditions. We
must abolish child labor We must
give an honest days wage for an
honest days work, and in turn, labor
must give an honest days work. We
must not only let live, but help to
live.

cient to protect such of our indus
tries as need protection. This tar

nations gain increased strength and

their turn to name the candidate
and there are two out for the place,
both from the town of Audubon.
The other candidate is an attorney.
OF the two candidates, however, it
behooves us to throw our hat in the
ring for Hoogenakker. He has
never asked for position at the
hands OF the republican party here
tofore, and he has beeor very ac-
tive worker for the party's interests
for years. He is very successful
business man and possesses the
traits and qualifications for a. sue
cessful senator. The voters or thfs
district will not go amiss il they sup
port him. We may have further to
say on the matter later on.-Wood-
ward Enterprise.
H. J. Hoogenakker. for the past
ten years editor OF the Audubon
Republican is in the city today get
ting acquainted with the party lead
ters and doing little work in con-
nection with his candidacy for state
senator. He entered the race ac-
lively few days ago.
Mr.. Hoogenakker seeks the Office
now held by John w. Foster of Guth-
RE county. According to custom
which has been in vogue for many
years the office has been rotated
among the various counties of the
district and 1t is now Audubon
county's turn. Two candidates, Mr..
Hoogenakker and an attorney are
active candidates. For years the
newspaper man has been fighting
other peoples battles and his friends
have decided that it Is time for
them to work for him. The con-
test will be good natured one but
'Hoogenakker has strong following
in both Audubon and Guthrie coun-
ties, where he formerly resided.
The Republican editor has been
engaged in newspaper work for 20
years. He formerly published the
Colfax Tribune and for a number of
years edited the Richland Clarion,
at which place he served as mayor
and member of the school board. He
is exceptionally we'll posted on state
affairs, is progressive, hustling
citizen and well qualified for the Of
fee He made many friends in
Perry today Perry Daily Chief.
We see that our old friend. H. j.
Hoogenakker, editor and proprietor
of the Audubon Republican. is a can
didate before the June primary for
state senator from that district on
the Republican ticket. Mr.. Hoogen-
akker was at one time editor Of the
Clarion and served as mayor of the
town. He has long list Of friends
and admirers here who will wish him
success IN landing the office to which
he asplres. He is sthunch republic
can, hard worker for the party, and
is a good, practical business man,
through and through. He was the
main spoke in the wheel that pulled
of the successful Homecoming here
ten years ago. Henry has made an
excellent paper of the Republican
and we predict that II elected to the
senate that he will III the Office with
great credit. The republicans OF
that district should see to 1t that he
is elected. --Richland Clarion.

The tract Of land that ID to be dis

land the government has ever thrown
open for settlement. Much Of this
land In the strip has been under cul-

lars an acre.
The government has arranged that

fling closes, which ii tomorrow, and
more land is available than there sfe

villains Of the country will be given

ways as good as Iowa land. We hope
the Audubon men are lucky and that
they will be able to stake out some
claims that will be worth while.

many better chances open to them II

advanced. but at last accounts the
question was still open.
Some said women married because
they did not realize the chance they
We're taking. Some said home Is
stronger than reason. Some 1t was
human nature and they could not
help it. Others that they married be-
cause it was the custom of then
fathers and grandfathers. Some OF
the women said they had looked thor
oughly over the field and made the
best selection and were sure they had
gotten the right one.
The next question was more serl-
GUS one. "How can We farm so as to
use less labor and fertilizer while the
price is so high" More grass and
less grain was suggested.

Then in March prepare long frame
for hardening of the plants, for plants
grown in hotbed till time to set in
the field will be crowded tall and

plants grown outside Hence when
the plants are about FIVE inches high
they should be tranSplanted to cold
frame. four inches apart each way,
and set deeper than they grow so as
to make mass of roots for the ilnal
transplanting. This frame can be
covered with cloth, but the plants
must be expoSde to the air at every
favorable opportunity, and gradually
hardened to the air so that when
time for planting comes you will have
stout plants with purplish stems,
rather than pale green, showing
tougher character. A three-sash
frame on a hotbed will start plants
enough to fill very large frame, and
if not so many plants are wanted a
single sash on a hotbed frame will
start enough plants. The plants should
be in the hardening frame by last OF
March or earlier. Get my garden

A SQUARE Deal For The Tenant

Already more than half the farm
area in the South is cultivated by
tenants, and tenancy is increasing.
Whether or not this be a desirable
situation, it is fact nevertheless,
and must be faced as such. Many ten
ants-farmers are making their periods
at tenants stepping-stone to farm
ownership, and this class especially
should be extended every encourage
ment.
In fact, the landowner everywhere
will find it excellent business policy
to give the tenant a square deal and
a chance to achieve home ownership.
One of the greatest things in life is
hope,-a belief in better things and
better days. So long as the tenant is
hopeful he is ambitious and progress
sive, willing, anxious to do everything
possible to increase yields and profits.
The landowner who has tenants OF
this kind is usually prosperous, while
the man with dissatisfied tenants is
rarely doing well himself.
At the beginning of the new year
we believe it is we'll for the average
landlord to give thought to his fela-
tions with his tenants. Give them de-
cent houses to live in; help them to
get fertilizers and better varieties OF
seeds; offer prizes for excellent work;
advance cash to them so they may

To Make Hotbed For Tomatoes

To make a hotbed for starting early
tomatoes, you will need plenty OF
fresh stable manure from horses and
mules. Some COW manure mixed in
will not hurt it. Lime will damage
any manure, and should never be
mixed in manure.
For the hotbed you will need a
portable frame and saShes. l use
frames that are six feet wide and
nine feet long, carrying three sashes
each 3x6 feet. To make the hotbed,
dig a pit six inches wider each way
than the frame Get the manure and
pile near the bed. When it steams,
turn and re-pile it, and when it again
heats, put it in the 1S-inch deep pit
and pack down close. Put on the
frame and bank manure around it and
put in the frame three or four inches
of fine fertile soil and level it smooth.
Then stick thermometer in the
soil and watch the heat rise with the
sashes on at night. When 1t has
reached its highest temperature and
has begun to fall to about IS degrees
YOU can sow the seed thinly in SIX
inch rows and cover lightly. Now is
the important stage in the manage
ment of the bed. If you leave the
sashes closed in sunny weather you
will burn up all your plants. Water
with tepid water when needed. Al
ways give some air by slipping down
