ing book.
This will not prevent the homeowner
from handling the specimens In his
lawn with gloves.
A trowel is best to dig them out.
Preferably they should be burned. Pieces
OF newspaper may be used to handle
them, If gloves are not available. Many
gardeners do not like to wear gloves.
Like violinists. they prefer the bare
fingers, in that way getting the sense
Of touch In what they are doing.
This Is good time to tear of the
leaves Of such things as are not wanted
In the lawn.
So, the unwanted plants, whether wild
onions or what not, die shortly, leaving
more room for the grass to come up in.
Often the blades of the lawn mower
fail to get such things.
It is personal, hand work, but It pays,
II followed by fresh grass seed.
AS every one knows nowadays, there
Is no better time Of the year, if as good,
as September for sowing of lawn grass
seed.
Those who think otherwise have over
looked the one thing necessary for
termination and growth of grass seed,
In almost all its many varieties. This is
plenty of water. If Nature fails to bring
rain, the garden hose must come into
play. Here the fine spray shines.
Unwatered grass seed seldom germin-
ates. One should not call 1t wasted,
however. in any event. It has wonder
full vitality. No doubt much of the fresh
grass springing up now is from seed
planted last Spring, but which, for some
reason or other, lay dormant all Sum-
mer. II seed is put in now, and rains
do not germinate it before frost, some
proportion of it will retain its vitality
all Winter, and be ready to start next
March. That is the way Nature sows
grass seed, in fact all sorts of seeds.
The subject of seeds is marvellous
one. Only recently book devoted to
their lore and legend has been issued.
1t is, as far as we recall, the first of its
kind. 1t seems strange that the world
should have to wait until AID. 1886 for
such a work.
Changing leaves, red and yellow, are
not the only art work of Old Man
Autumn.
He does an exceptionally neat Job in
the grass. if the observer has the time
and patience to study it out.
1t is caused by the whitening of the
old grasses, and the upcropping of the
new.
These give various tones of green
throughout the entire lawn
With them is combined fine brown,
the color Of grass leaves and stems in
various states of decay. There is a
beauty in such things, If one views them
rightly. The reds and yellows of the
leaves, to come at the first touch of real
cold. are only the more faring symbols
of change.
Already the process has begun, In the
grass as elsewhere. The glowing tints
OF the chrysanthemums are high points,
that is all. of fine season in its entirety.
The coolneSs. the haze of it, the last
luxury Of leaves colored by Jack Frost,
these are parts of the picture, but no
more so than the subtle changes in the
grass, with their varied patterns in intri-
cate weaving of greens and browns.
Just as there is no better month at the
seashore than September, so there is no
finer one in the city than this For the
green of the sea, and its little waves,
substitute Autumn grass, and the tints
thereof. Such is September

Overriding IL.

OVERRIDING II.
I am gloomy-rather gloomy-and the
reason I'll confess
For this much-to- be avoided frame Of
mind,
But I've had another session with the
people who express
A wish to make me leave all care
behind.
A jokes q 1oke-and maybe life is one,
will admit,
But I sometimes wish that I tree
could climb
When the merry, merry chaps break
loose with over-generous wit
And want to keep you laughing all the
have seen the funny faces that assume
to represent
The human beings dwelling with me
here.
I have read the protest gay that every
form of discomfort
Is an illusion bound to disappear.
The person who af1icts me with mel
ancholy twist
v Is not the rogue serenely bent on crime
So much as that well meaning. but mis-
guided optimist
Who wants to keep you laughing all
the time.

Forgotten Virtue.

IN his acceptance speech at Phlladel-
phia, President Roosevelt appealed to
the Nations confidence in the ancient
ideals of faith, hope and charity. The
reaction. as might have been expected,
was favorable and friendly. Americans
In general entertain an affectionate re-
gard for the aspirations which motivated
the founding fathers Of the Republic
when they set up what George Wash
ington called "a standard to which the
wise and honest can repair"
But the President neglected to men
ton the fourth of the cardinal virtues.
In his plea for reelection he did not say
anything about prudence, the quality OF
mind which Cicero considered "the
knowledge of things to be sought and
those to be summed" and which Tacitus
deemed . necessary attribute OF trust
worthy leader of the people.
Yet Mr.. Roosevelt cannot be supposed
to be ignorant of the fact that the prin-
cipal criticism leveled at his administra-
ton has been the charge that it has
wasted public money. Reading ten news
papers daily, he certainly is familiar
with the widespread complaint against
extravagance in the management OF the
Nations business. Moreover, he himself
established pattern for the Indictment
of exorbitant spending when, in, the
campaign of 1882, he directed attention
to "the great Importance Of Federal bud
get making as the foundation OF ma
ttonal credit" declared that "the Hoover
administration has been responsible for
deficit after deficit" and assured the
voters that ut is my pledge and promise
that this dangerous kind OF financing
shall be stopped and that rigid govern
mental economy shall be forced by .
stern and unremitting administration
policy of living within our income"
It follows, then, that the Presidents
omission of reference to the basic issue
Of the present political battle was In
territorial. He apparently did not wish
to discuss the problem in the light OF
his record. Instead, he reminded his
audience of those social principles to
which he had reason to believe they were
particularly loyal. And his expedient
specification may be Justified by the ver-
Dict u November 3. Ths majority Of the

And Who Is Responsible?

Readers may have overlooked q sig
nihcant statement in Auditor Donovan's
testimony before the Commissioners at
the budget hearing yesterday. At any
rate, it is worth repeating for emphasis.
Maj. Donovan said that unless the
Federal lump-sum payment is increased
next year above the current S, ,0OO, 900 ap-
preparation, that amount, plus all the
revenues from local taxation. will fall
short by 81, ,877 900 of meeting the operat-
ing expenses of the local government
operating expenses that are kept to the
level of this years appropriations.
In other words, before the local govern
ment can count on spending a penny for
capital outlays, such as school buildings,
sewer extensions and other such neces-
sary improvements, there must be an in
crease of nearly $4,000, 900 in local rev.
enues. And then, If maintenance ex-
penses are not increased. the money in
excess of that amount might be. avail
able for improvements.
That statement, more than any other,
illustrates the gravity of the fiscal prob
lem facing the District. For we not only
must expect to make normal improve
ments, but begin to make substantial
inroads on the accumulation of deferred
improvements Of past years.
The community may hope that the
current study of fiscal relations by dis
interested experts will result in return,
by the exclusively governing Congress, to
equitable fulfllment of national obliga-
tions to the American Capital. Other
wise, the prospect is rather bleak.

Where the shade and sunlight dapplest
Fruit hanging low ON the trees.

To leave strident years behind.

And feel the cool winds from the wild.

publican State Convention in Connecti-
cut. In opening proceedings at Hart
ford, that battle-scarred and redoubtable
old guardsman, j. Henry Roraback, State
chairman and national committeeman, n,
took the conventions breath away by
praising Democratic Governor Wilbur L.
Cross, who has just been renominated
for fourth term. Roraback eulogized
Cross as "a man who believes in law
and order and whose administration has
saved the State millions of dollars -
After hurting this unexpected bouquet
at the Governor Roraback brought the
delegates back to consciousness by pre-
dieting that Landon will carry Connecti-
cut by 10000 majority.

lican. Of Kansas. The theme of dis

Mighty Hard to Beat.

The recent primaries IN Soutn caro-
lima. Mississippi and Georgia were chiefly
interesting because of the contests be-
tween "New Dealers" and Democrats"
The decisive victories of the New Deal
Senators in all three States were ac-
cepted as reindorsements of the admin
istration, as doubtless they were.
Each OF the New Deal Senators, as
matter of fact, had an argument that
was hard to beat. According to the
magazine Time, Senator Jimmie Byrnes
hammered home to the voters the fact
that South Carolina had received $242,-
900 900 in relief and A. A. A. benefits
and other forms of Federal aid under
the New Deal. According to the same
publication, Georgias Senator Russell
harpsd on the $396, 100000 in Federal
cash that has been distributed in his
State. If Senator Harrison failed to use
0 similar argument in the case of Mis-
sissippi he overlooked an equally good
bet, and the Senator is not accustomed
10 overlooking good bets.
Senator Byrnes frankly contraSted the
Bal, 900 900 that has flowed into South
Carolina with the $4,000, 900 that South
Carolina, during the years of the New
Deal, has paid in Federal taxes. That
IL undoubtedly one of the most interest
Ing angles of the argument. 1t is equally
interesting in connection with the two
other States.
Considering merely the $4,000, ,000. 900
relief bill Of 1885, here is what the States
have received through actual expendi-
lures or presidential ALLEGATIONS as Of
July 1, 1896:
South Carolina ,648, ,4S4
Mississippi -------------- 67,535,337
Georgia a------------------ 1Z,I20,SS4
Total received ,9O4, SIS
And here Is what the same three States
have paid out in internal revenue taxes
during the fiscal year 1886:

Mississippi --------------- 2,374,699
