WAITING ON POLITICS

LITTLE TO LOOK FOR IN PRESENT POLITICAL SITUATION. Senate Action on Steel an Example of The Dilatory Tactic* Adopted— No Genuine Tariff Relief Anywhere in Sight. The senate, in passing the house ! steel -revision bill by a vote of 35 to 221. was merely following out an J agreement previously reached. In view of the fact that the house bill was not based on findings by the tariff ! board. It is not likely that President } Taft will approve the measure, as he is committed to the support of his : board. As* the steel bill was presents' ed to the house by the ways and I means committee-, it called for reduc- : tions of 30 to 35 per cent, in the du- ; ties. It placed a number of articles, I such as tools in common use, on the ; tree list. In the house it was opposed by most of the Republicans on the | ground that it was not based on the tariff board’s investigations, but on the | fiual test the bill passed the house 210 to 109. 20 insurgent Republicans aid- ; fng in its passage. In the senate the expediency of the political situation was considered per--1 haps more than the question of cutting the tariff. At least this was true among the regular Republicans. The insurgents made a feeble attempt to substitute their bill, but the regular Republicans had decided to absent themselves and enable the Democrats to pass their bill. The schedules were amended in several minor particulars and an amendment was attached repealing the Canadian reciprocity lav. The only feature of the reciprocity law which was effective was that of placing print paper on the free list. The repeal of the reciprocity an would have meant the substitution of the Payne tariff of $3.75 a ton, so the senate compromised on a duty of two dollars a ton.. > Of tariff time fiddling the senate action on steel is an example. The house this year has passed tariff bills revising schedules on steel, sugar *wool and chemicals. The steel bill went to the senate January 30. The result of exhaustive hearings was the passage ! of the Democratic measure, which, it is conceded, may now be vetoed with les-; embarrassment by the president than one emanating from the Republic- I ans. The result probably will be that I there will be no genuine tariff relief. I The people must wait until politics is disposed of.

Would Be No Bar to “Teddy.”

The Clayton amendment to the Constitution making a president ineligible for re-election would not, as the New York Sun assumes, prevent another attempt upon the presidency by Mr. Roosevelt. His opinion about constitutions and courts and other things that interfere with or limit the will of the people has been frankly expressed. A constitutional prohibition would no more deter him from seeking the office than an unbroken tradition of 116 years. If a majority of the people expressed a preference for him it would be all the warrant he would require, and if he should be elected in defiance of the Constitution would the courts keep him out? He has told us what he thinks about court decisions that do not reflect the latest expressions of the majority.

When the President Slept.

If it be true, as reported, that during sittings for a portrait President Taft has been in the habit of dozing off intd prolonged naps, it is to be hoped the artist will give a faithful reproduction of his patron’s appearance. Real art has been the handmaid ever of history. Some of the most significant incidents in that history have been made more impressive for men and women of later times by the work of master artists. If the president's 'portrait painter will give the world a faithful likeness of the man of the White House when asleep, he will convey to the present and coming generations an excellent idea of the condition of the chief executive when he allowed the Iniquitous Aldrich-Payne bill to become a law.

Why They Are Distrustful.

Colonel Roosevelt told the people of New Hampshire that when he was president he had said that he "would never consent to the United States not acting toward other nations with scrupulous justice.” And he added: “I have lived up to it.” Perhaps he thinks so, but the utter impossibility of reconciling this declaration with his treatment of Colombia in the Panama affair, which he himseir says he “took” without the authority of congress and certainly without the consent of the nation to which the isthmus unquestionably belonged, is what makes so many of the colonel's countrymen so distrustful of his ability to do Justice or to recognize just dealing when he sees it—Philadelphia Public Ledger, Ind’t.

Fact That Calls for Explanation.

> A thousand million dollars’ worth of goods a year, produced by highly paid American labor, are specially packed for export sand put on board ship. The freight is paid to foreign lands. The tariff imposed at the port of entry is paid also. Then, after bearing all this expense in addition to the cost of manufacture in America. these goods are sold in foreign cities and villages—in dibect competi tion at home with the products of that “pauper labor” against which the R« publicans would protect usT

If dusty hay is fed, sprinkle with water, and it will save the horse much annoyance; but better not feed it at all. A box of ashes under a clump of shrubbery will be greatly appreciated by the hens in warm weather. It is as impossible to estimate the productiveness and value of a cow as it is to guess the exact number of bushels of corn a certain field will yield. The right kind farm garden will keep the family during garden season with the help of the hens. It won’t take many hens for this help, either. A good crop for the orchard would be cowpeas—wide strips sown between the rows of trees. This would make good early hay and is also good for the soil. While sheep will eat grain and any kind of grass and some kinds of weeds, they are, after all, dainty feeders, and the feed must be absolutely clean. If you intend to raise sheep for wool buy rams and ewes that are bred for wool, and do not make the mistake of mixing mutton types with wool types. The young pigs often become crooked in the legs, if kept on the hard floor too long, ahd this means that the pig, if a good breed, loses much of its value.

Weighing milk at stated intervals not only tells the owner which are Kis profitable cows, and which are robbers, but It stimulates rivalry between the milkers. Alfalfa grows best on a deep, sandy loam underlaid by a loose and permeable subsoil. It will not grow If there is an excess of water in the soil. The land must be well drained. English farmers do not hesitate to pay as high as SIOO for a pure bred sire ram. Do you imagine they would do this if they could get just as good results from a scrub at one-tenth the price? The high producing dairy cow is an animal that follows in the wake of civilization. She never goes ahead. Conditions must be suitable before she can be of any value to the farmer. If strawberry plants are dried out when received by express do not water them, for water on the foliage wi'l quickly cause the crown to rot. Dip the roots in tepid water and lay them in a cool cellar for a few hours. Four- ounces of sulphate of potassium to a gallon of water makes a good solution for killing lice on horses. Benzine is also beneficial. Both plications should be rubbed in twice, a week apart, in order to do the work thoroughly. Box stalls are safer for fattening horsfcs in than single stalls, but the difference in cost is hardly worth while, for with ordinary care horses can be fattened to just as good advantage when tied in single stalls as when confined in box stalls.
