Lincolm's Attitude

Much has been said and written,
and much more will be said and
written, concerning the Presidents
proposal to increase the number
of Supreme Court Justices, or to
use the expression of those op
posed to the plan-''to pack the
court" 1t is interesting there
fore, to quote from the first inau,
gural address of The Great Eman.
cipator, Abraham Lincoln In
speaking of the Supreme Court
he said:
Il do not forget the position
assumed by some that constitu-
tional questions are to be de-
cided by the Supreme Court, nor
do I deny that such decisions
must be binding in any case
upon the parties to suit, as to
the object of that suit, while
they are also entitled to a very
high respect and consideration
in all parallel cases by all other
departments of the government;
and while it is obviously pos
sible that such decision may be
erroneous in any given case,
still the evil effect following it,
being limited to that particular
case, with the chance that it
may be overru1ed and never be-
come a precedent for other
cases, can better be borne than
could the evils of different
practice.
"At the same time the candid
citizen must confess that if the
policy of the government upon
the vital questions affecting the
whole people is to he irrevoe-
ably fixed by the decisions of
the Supreme Court, the instant
they are made, as in ordinary
litigation, between parties in
personal actions, the people will
have ceased to be their own
masters, unless having to that

The Democratic Rarty should
win because the Republicans
broke their pledge to the people
that appointments would be
made without regard to pcliti-

The Democratic, Party should
win because the Democratic
party is opposed to using the
peoples money to further their
political activities, and because
the people will, on March %,
demand and get a change In
their city government.

measure is to put the grass in condi-

The Delphinium Mite.
| ARkSPURS or delphiniums are
sometimes affected by peculiar
distorting and blackening of the flowers
caused by tiny insects known as mites
The trouble, also known as blacks, will
yield to frequent applications of nico-
tine sprays or dustS. The spray may
be made of Il, teaspoons of nicotine
suphate in one gallon of water and
the effectiveness will be materially in
creased if a piece of ordinary white
laundry soap about the size of an
English walnut is also dissolved in the
water. This solution is the same as
recommended for aphids on roses and
other plants and is ready for use i'm
mediately after preparation. Nicotine
sulphate may be purchased at any
garden supply store under we'll
Known trade name. If one prefers to
use dust, it may be prepared by
placing pounds of hydrated lime in
metal can with tight lid Some
or 10 small stones should then be
placed in the container with the lime
and after adding /. pound of nicotine
sulphate, the whole should be shaken
or rolled about for 10 minutes. After
standing for one day the dust will be
ready for application to the plants.
Nicotine is highly volatile and the can
must be kept tightly sealed until the
lime nicotine dust is entirely used If
Its strength is to be maintained.
Weed Control.
H. BAILEY, the well-known
garden writer, defines a weed as
plant out of place and this is, on
second thought, a very good descrip-
ton. A hollyhock a phlox or any
other ordinarily desirable plant may
easily become weed as any gardener
knows.

care to cut the dandelions an inch or

large, the fertilizing plan OF over

tical procedure.

the maintenance OF clean-cut edges

There are some upright growing forms
Also none OF which make large trees.
1t is exceedingly unfortunate that
Norway spruce is 80 often used in
foundation paintings. The Norway
spruce makes nice show for a few
years, and then suddenly the owner
realizes that he has a potential forest
tree on his hands.
AS suggested previously dahlias
are generally planted in this locality
about the first Of June. a date which
seems about right to enable the plants
to reach good Towering condition in
september. 1t Is to be hoped that
many gardeners grow dahlias this
year, SO as TO assure success to the
coming display in September by the
newly organized National Capital
Dahiia Society. There Is no great
secret to dahlia growing beyond pro-
Viding full sunlight, abundant food
and water. Disbudding the lateral
blooms Is the key to the large indi-
vidual flowers just as it is in the
case Of the chrysanthemum.
Too many gardeners fail to remem-
Der when buying fertilizer that there
are many different grades. 1t Is not
sufficient to simply ask for a garden
fertilizer, for this may include many
different types. some perhaps OF little
value. There should be, for example,
at least per cent of ammonia in
garden fertilizer, yet some brands may
contain as little as per cent. Most
dealers are willing indeed to supply
the gardeners needs If these are
specified.

FLOWER GARDEN
NEARLY ESSENTIAL
Homes in City and Country
Now Demand Beauty
Treatments.

Flower gardens-a few gears ago
only luxury tor comparatively small
number OF perSonS-have today taken
on an entirely new aspect and have
suddenly become almost an essential
OF every home, whether large or small
in the city or in the country.
Few homes at the present time fail
TO include a flower garden of some
sort, and many home owners who
heretofore were principally concerned
with an attractive house and small
lawn have turned their attention to
the care and appearance of their gar
dens.
. No longer can the wealth of a prop
erty owner be gauged by the luxuri-
business of his garden, since many of
the smallest homes present the most
charming appearance as the result of
careful and constant thought to gar
den planning.
Probably the lions share of glory
= Tor the increasing interest in this
phase of home Identification should
go to garden clubs.
OUTLOOK Has Changed.
Only few years ago such groups
were looked upon merely as a body
OF society women who envisioned the
creation of a Utopia in every COM
munity through garden improvements.
Today the picture is entirely
changed. The spirit of the garden
club members has spread like Wild
ire to every section of the country,
and even other civic groups are rally
Ing to the support of the garden
clubs in a determined effort not only
to encourage the development of at
tractive gardens at private homes and
around public buildings, but to carry
out the more mammoth task of beau
tlfylng the sides of miles of highway.
Aside from the personal satisfaction
ct carefully planned garden, many a
home owner has added hundreds of
dollars to the value of his property at
little cost to himself through the i'm
provement of his garden
While many are able to employ land
ecape gardeners to plan their gardens
and carry out the work, yet the ma

out their own garden plans to suit
their individuality, and in many in
stances the latter group attain equally
satisfying results, although probably
on much smaller scale.
Transforma tions Possible.
Undoubtedly one of the main
charms of any garden to its owner is
the fact he can say he did the work
with the members of his own family.
and he will also frequently boast at
the small cost Of the garden And,
too, many an otherwise unattractive

- HORTLY now the earliest Of the
climbing roses will be coming
into full bloom and with a mod
- crate number of varieties will
continue to adorn the home deep into
the month of June. The climbing
roses are of two general types,
namely, the Wlchuraianas and Wich-
uraiana hybrids, such as Dorothy
Perkins and the climbing hybrid
teas. such as Climbing Lady Ashtown
and many others. The cold Winters
of recent years have shown the
former group to be the more reliable
and satisfactory Many Of the Wich-
uraianas are highly resistant to black
spot and mildew, while the climbing
hybrid teas have the same weakness
as their bush form relatives.
The climbing rose is matchless for
covering arbors or back fences The
profusion Of bloom on single healthy
plant is truly remarkable. AS with
the bush roses, the reds and pinks
predominant, with yellows in the mi
nority Emily Gray is very fine yell
low, but is tender during severe VIM
ters. Its thick, glossy leaves remind
one Of the old Marechal Mel rose.
Golden Climber Or Mrs Arthur Cur
It's James, has been planted to some
extent, but has disappointed most
gardeners by its paucity of flowers.
The old Silver Moon opens rather
yellow, but fades quickly to creamy
white on full bloom. For those who
prefer yellow roses, and there are
many, this lack of yellow climbers is
a appointment, yet there are so
many fine red and pink shades that
one forgets the lack of yellOwS in the
height Of the season.
African Violets.
THERE is no house plant that has
gained greater popularity in
short time than has the African violet
which, despite its name, is no violet
at all, but a relative Of the gloxinia.
Like it's relative, it bears thick f1eshy
leaves which, when separated from
the mother plant, and placed in sand,
sandy soil, or even water alone, will
root and form young plants which
will then develop into Towering plants.
The flowers are generally blue and,
because of the method of propagation,
the youngsters will be exactly like the
parent. There are several named va
rieties Of different shades of blue, but,
so far, few people have become suf1-
ciently we'll acquainted with the plant
to recognize the varieties by name.
The finest characteristic Of the
plant is its habit of continuous flower
ing the entire year around if grown at
all under favorable conditions. The
African violet appears to enjoy
porous soil full of well-rotted leaf
mold and plenty of water which is
best supplied by setting the pot i'll
saucer of water every day or so. The
leaves are resistant to water loss and
