LODGES RESPONSIBILITY.

We copy from the Springfield Re-
publican, one of the leading Repub-
lican papers of the country, the fol-
lowing editorial. which gives beau
tiful example of Republican harmony
and the unanimous approval the par
ty is giving Senator Lodge and his
work of destroying the Peace Treaty:
Your party, Mr.. Lodge, controls
the Senate; your party organized
committees on Foreign Relations and
the leader of the Senate. Why are
you not responsible therefore, if the.
treaty is dead and nothing is being
done toward the establishment Of
peace?
If the treaty is dead, the Senate
killed it; and Mr.. Lodge and his party
control the Senate that did the kill

The Senate hns hanged itself with

country is left suspended between

over the question of bringing their
tortured victims back to life.
In all our history there never was
such Senate as this one. Its pass

MAPLE SUGAR AND BEEF
CATTLE.

Not mconsdcrablc is the maple
syrup and sugar business of tbis
county. In nearly every community
there arc sugar trces-morc or less.
and on many of the family tables of
the county the fine syrup NAV be
found, particularly on Sunday when
the preacher and company are guests
for dinner.
MIR. George II. Moss, Burkcs Gard
en-. seems to be the Sugar King of
the county. lie makes lot of syrup
from his own trees, and buys from
the neighbors. He was here on Tues
day, and said he could not supply
the demand for either syrup or sugar.
Sugar making is now in the height
OF the season, and these warm DAYS
following the freezes of the past
weeks causes the sap to flow freely.
Sugar making is not easy work by
any means, according to Mr.. Moss.
About so gallons of water from the
trees is required to make one gallon
OF good Syrup, ready for buckwheat
cakes at breakfast. Mr.. Moss said
one gallon of finished syrup, will
make pounds Of sugar, which sells
Tor oO cents pound and up.
Governor Stuart says that to this
sacharine in the Bluegrass lands of
this Southwest country, is due the fine
quality of our beef cattle. The beef
has quality and flavor, and the
steers refined appearance, not to
be found in cattle in other sections of
the country, says the Governor. And
so, our maple trees not only furnish
"garnishing" for our battercakes and
hot biscuits on Sunday morning and
any other time, but swectens oul
beef steaks as well. Wonder how
many of the citizens of this great
section appreciate and highly appraist
the bounteous wealth of its noun.
