.Insfice Holmes

To him whose ninetieth birthday gives us the
welcome opportunity, we express again our rever-
ent admiration and affection.
Every birthday Of Oliver Wendell Holmes must
be for the people Of this nation occasion of
pride and gratitude.
He is one Of us, and few people can say that of
such a man.
Holmes-witn his great, wise spirit his alert and
learned mind his unquenchabe fire of youth, his
reless energy his wit his simplicity, his broad vision
his sense Of reality his instinct for leadershipare
there many to compare with him?
He once said 1--WE live by symbols" To us Justice
Holmes whose own life has covered so great part of
the life of the United States is a symbol of ideal
nation
For the highest patriotism commend to the
youth Of the land study of the volume of his de-
cisions, recently published by the Vanguard Press
and the commemorative volume of tributes issued to-
d9y by Coward-McCann.
No one has expressed more beautifully than he the
thing at which we are aiming in this government.
when men have realized that time has upset
many flghting faiths" he said, "they may come to
believe even more than they believe the very foun
datons Of their own conduct that the ultimate good
desired is better reached by free trade in ideas
that the best test Of truth is the power Of the thought
to get itself accepted in the competition Of the open
market and that truth is the only ground upon which
their wishes safely can be carried out That at any
rate is the theory Of our Constitution It is an ex
pertinent, as all life is an experiment"
Few men have played real and brilliant a part
in American life as this man, who, for forty EIGHT
years. has been on the judicial bench in Massachusetts,
and Washington. "A leader of opinion" to quote
Chief Justice Hughes with influence transcending
the limits usually assigned to judicial utterances."

think Of any future which he viii not share.

If it is not certain that the ami

the animal should be confined to

If these symptoms do not develop
within ten days, it is probable that
the animal did not have rabies at
the time it bit the human being.
However, the beginning Of the
Pasteur treatment never should wait
until the animal has died or been
killed and the negri bodies, which
are significant of rabies, are found
in its brain.
Persons bitten by dogs which have
symptoms similar to rabies should

Course Is Clear

THE question right now is not
l. whether this nation shall re-
main hypocritically dry, or endeavor
to find a more constructive plan of
procedure, but whether it shall be
denied the right to register its
views, whether it shall remain a re-
public, or become a moral tyranny
in which reformers and racketeers
divide the spoils.
Admittedly, there is no precedent
for the existing situation, but why
should that bother any one, when
ordinary common sense makes the
course clear2
With perfectly good intentions,
we wrote something into law which
the public, or large section Of it,
refuses to obey, and which the gov
eminent can not enforce.
The people ask opportunity to
find out whether a majority prefers
to go on with such an anomalous
situation, or try to correct it.
Because Of certain technicalities.
the people can he denied that opZ
portunity for little while, but it
seems as though the stupidest poll
tician ought to know the result Of
such tactics.

Chemical Journals

NNE Of the most important &C
" Invites Of the American Chem
ical Society is the publication of its
journals. The society prints three
journals, which in the course Of
year contain total Of approx
imately 100000 words. -
These journals are important be-
cause they enable the American
chemist to keep himself informed
upon the progress Of chemistry
throughout the world.
Among the society'S journals. the
one called Chemical Abstracts is q
particularly interesting venture Il
undertakes to print brief abstracts
or summaries Of the worlds litera-
ture Of chemistry.
This enables the chemist to learn
OF any new chemical advance. If
he Is sufficiently interested, he
then can get the paper from which
the abstract was made and read all
of it.

TINE opponents of experimental
Il ton on animals constantly are
looking for evidence to prove that
scientific medicine has begun to
doubt the original investigations Of
Pasteur with regard to the pre-
vention Of lydrophooia, which is
the sequel Of the bite of a mad dog.
Regardless of what they may say
in the printed statements that they
circulate, the evidence in favor OF
the Pasteur treatment as pre-
ventive measure is as strong, if not
much stronger, today than when
Pasteur first made his fundamental
investigation.
The addition of new knowledge,
moreover, has tended toward the
establishment of routine procedures

Bolt Is Certain

MOT q, party question, though
1 y it has been the chief topic of
discussion whenever and wherever
politics has been brought up in this
country during the last five years,
and though more polls have been
taken on it by newspapers and
magazines, not to mention unofficial
state referenda, than on any other
question in American history.
What do we have parties for, any,
way, if not to afford public opinion
an opportunity to express itself in
just such caSes?.
Everyone knows that there is dis
agreement over prohibition in both
parties, but must we remain in

portant to preserve two Intellectual

OF course, there viii be a bolt in
the Democratic party if the Raskob
plan is adopted, but there will be
just as big a one in the Republican
party.
If RaSkob has a dry south to
reckon with, Hoover has a wet east,
and as between the two the dry
south is the more likely to string
along with its party this trip.
Two years ago, the wet east held
its nose and voted the grand old
ticket, while several southern states
gave their noses free rein and
jumped the fence.
In neither case was there much
to brag about, but the southern
states have done rather more to
prove their repentance.
Where are those bright lights who
led the southern detection, such as
Senators Simmons, "Tomtom" Hehin
and Tom Love? They are all back
home nursing their wounds and
grievances.

GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR
PERENNIAL WEED CONTROL

| The use of CELEBRATES as a means of
control of the perennial root stock
weeds offers as cheap a method of
cleaning up these areas as one can Sc
cure through any other means, we
believe. There are two CELEBRATES avail
able, odium chlorate and calcium
chlorate, or Atlacide.
| Sodium chlorate presents more of a
fire hazard than does the calcium
chlorate or Atlacide. It.. however, is
cheaper than the latter and the price
differential this year, we believe, JUS
titles the use of sodium chlorate on
areas in the open field. Under or
chard conditions we believe the fire
hazard is too great to chance any,
thing other than Atlacide.
| In the main we have used Atlacide
for weed control work in the county.
From three to six pounds per square
rod have been applied either in the
form of dust or as spray or both,
in two different applications to the
same patch. Probably not more than
ree-fourths as much sodium chlorate
would be required as the amount of
Atlacide used. Results from the Alta
eide applications have been quite sat-
iSfactory.
In making the application as
spray the material may be dissolved
in water at the rate of from l to 2
pounds per gallon depending upon the
rate of application per rod. If but
three pounds of the chemical is to be
applied this should be dissolved at the
rate of one pound per gallon, but if
5 to 6 pounds are to be applied then
the concentration may be increased to
as high as 2 pounds per gallon. This
will make enough solution to thorough
~ wet the weed growth on the area
TO be treated. The materials are read
lily dissolped in water, especially it,
agitated.
In the orchard we would strongly
recommend successive light applica-
tions rather than the heavier applica-
tons recommended above. We think it
inadvisable to use more than pound
Of chemical to the gallon of water, and
more than a gallon or gallon and a
half of the solution to the rod in the
orchard at one application Successive
light applications such as this, possibly
three or four times during the summer
and fall months should control the
weed without endangering the trees,
as they would be by an application Of
Us much as 8 pounds of the material
TO the rod, in which case the ground
would be quite thoroughly wet. We be-
lieve the situation in the orchard
should be one in which only the leaf
surface should be wet as far as this
is possible. Material is now available
at Gleason's at Kennewick at the fol-
| lowing price:
$6.75 for SO pound drums; $3.50 for
| 100 pound drums; $24OO for 200 pound
drums. Small lots will come a little
higher

How cbout that wicker furniture
that Is beginning to look faded? Evel-
yn H. Roberts, home economics re-
search specialist at Washington State
College, gives suggestions for "spick
and spanning.
First brush off as much of the
settled dust as possible" states Miss
Roberts. dip a long haired brush in
suds made from neutral soap and
go over the entire surface, working
the solution into the cracks and Gre
vices. Work quickly and do not allow
the wicker to become soaked through.
Rinse by dipping the brush into clear
water and again go over the area
scrubbed. 1t is best to treat only a
small portion of the chair at on time.
when the wicker is dry, wipe over
it with cloth dipped in little oil
or wax and polish. If the wicker chair
or any other chair has cane bottom
which needs attention, turn the chair
upside down and with sponge wash
the cane seat with hot water suds
of white soap. Soak the cane material
thoroughly, let it dry in the air and
the cane will be tight and firm as new,
provided none of it was previously
