EDITORIAL
FOKKl AST OF ELECTION
The Chicago Tribune has made a
c'.ose inquiry into the political sent!
i".: :it of the country and concludes,
t . t'o weeks in advance ct election,
that the prospects are very good
fur the success of Mr. Hughes.
There are 531 votes in the elec
toral college and ;i total of 266 is
needed lor a. victory. There are
tweut..-o: o states with "10 votes
th; i reliably Republican. Ther®
ere thi a -t us with 149 e'ector
•I vc.-s liably Democratic. There
a states with 172 elec
al \ tt s in the doubtful column.
In thes Hughes mutt get 56 voes
to win while Wilson must gartn
l IT cut of the 172 to win. The sur
»j ch • <«.s are thus plainly with
t'.ie Republican candidate.
Of the doubtful states the vote
( f Nov.- York for Hughes and any
other «. i-e state with as many as 11
i toral vot would {five him the
• lecticn. New York and Indiana, ot
New- York and Olio, or New York
: d Wisconsin would do the trick.
Yet Hugh - relight Icse New York
Li 11 win. If Wilson, loses New
Vc k it is conceded by the Demo
tra ic managers that he has but a
slim chance for success.
New York, then, as £u many past
i t ie great battleground,
'he crural s: tt- in .this campaign,
and the Tammany organization,
ifrleodlj to the Wil
s:a administration, is likely to
c".-t 'he deciding vote. Notwith
standing all t'.is. the D?mocratic
manager claim that from 300 to
35i) electoral votes will be cast for
Wtigct and that every- state out
•■'it'c of the 1' ir.Ovratic South is a
doubtful state.
The last time Tammany sunk its
t«.:aahawk into the Democracy, in
1 1 >, New York went Republican
by a plurality of 202,602 votes.
Plainly, if there bo grounds for
tfmJsm, it must be
("Jin forte cause not apparent to
the average political prophet.
UNSOIND HI T NUT ABANDONED
hi t-.vo ways this :idninfstration
ha- acknowledge^ the unsoundness
o* Us economic lirinciples, so far
as the tariff is concerned; first,
i* p.need a protective duty on dye
s'uffs, and, second, it created a
tnrii"* c-ommissficn. If a protec
tive tariff is necessary for dyes,
it is necessary for other products
that have competition with the
cheaper products of foreign coun
tries. Unless the principle of
protection is to be a factor in tar
iff. making, ue have absolutely no
use 'or a tariff commission. A tar
iff 'or revenue only can be devised
bv any one and changed when there
is more need for revenue. Xo $300,
ooo tariff commission is needed for
a revenue tariff bill.
Bat though, the Democratic; ad
ministration has lnferentially ac
knowledged the unsoundness of its
principles, it does not expressly nor
lnferentially admit any intention to
abrrdon those principles. It de
clares against a protective tariff in
its platform, and its candidate for
♦he Presidency asserts that the
protective policy is ''economic er
ror." Yet the Democratic campaign
managers ask the American! people,
a rreat majority of whom believe
in "America First." to return to
power a party thft enactcd a tar
iff law lor the bsuetfit oifi "foreign
ere first." J
The Maino election. has demon
strated that thfl tariff question] 18
the gre£4 vote-getter for the Re
publican party this ysar. Met who
b«Ueve la a protect lye tariff will
VQte to ha*« tUft tariff revised by
the friends of protection, instead of
bv its enemies. •
WORDS AND DEEDS
■»i" I
The Democratic? party-la doing
its 'cv beet to- secure support
from the former Progressives. But
i* i$ using words alone for the
ourpose. Thej Republican portjr, al
so, is desirous of bringing back In
to the organization: those wnoi wgnt
cu from us four years ago. And
we are employing deeds instead of
words to demonstrate ■ the welcome
which these home-cotters are to
have •>< ■
Tne Democrat® do not even ad
mit tee Progressives to membership
on their campaign) committee. The
Progressives who are. helping Wil
son officially are .mads t$ flock by
themselves — whereas, Messrs, Per
kins, Colby, Ickes and thei others
who are at Hughes' headquarters,
Hast and West, are pa-rt and parcel
of the Republican organization,
with duties, responeibilUea and; pow
ers ■ .
HAS KICKBACK FOR WORKERS
Evidence Increases that the rail
ways will endeavor to procure legis
lation whereby congress will con
tinue to tlx the wages of railway
trainmen and will also fix the hours
of lator and majjo it a misdemean
or for trainmen to quit work wdth
out ample arnd due notice to their
employers. Another outgrowth of
the Adamson bill will be an effort
to hare a minimum day of. eight
hours and a single time Jxasfa of com
pensation fix-edi by congress, abol
ishing the old milleage. Under pres
ent conditions a traiumai^ who maiefl
more <h&n the agreed limit of speed
over his division has done his day'B
work and can quit when his run is
completed, -regardlege oif how short
a time it. has taken Mm. He is
paid his full mileage even should he
make a Tun of 100 miles, for in
stance, in three or fooir hours. Un
der a single time basis, he could be
assigned to other work far the re
mainder of the eight houre or what
ever other day was decreed! by con
gress. 1 1

Phoclon, when Alexander sent him a

brought it why he. of all the Athen

"Because he thinks you to be the only

"Then." returned Phoclon, "let me
seem so." And he would not take the

Lack of Lime Causes
Low Egg Production
In an experiment conducted at the
Missouri state poultry experiment sta
tion twenty hens in each of two pens
were cared for exactly alike, except
one pen was supplied with crushed
lime rock and oyster shell, while the
other was not The pen which was
supplied with lime In some form laid
1,600 eggs in the same time that the
pen without lime laid 101 eggs, which
is almost 10 to 1. This Indicates that
the feed and water contains only about
enough lime for cue shell for each ten
other parts of the egg.
There arc many farms which do not
contain enough lime to shell a dozen
eggs, and in stich case the farmer
must either supply the lime in some
form or be content with a small yield
of eggs.
While this is not the only mistake
made, which causes low egg produc
I Hon, yet it Is a very important one.
No one can afford to feed high priced
feed without first supplying the equal
ly important but cheap material for
building the egg shell.
The lime may be supplied In the
form of crushed oyster shell, crushed
lime rock or a mixture of lime, sand
and water, then let do- and crush.
Fowls need grit besides this lime.
Crushed flint, satid, etc., does not sup
ply the lime, but they are good to
grind the food.
Importance of Teaching
Music fo Children
Home is where character forms.
Home is where we learn to live. Home
individualizes. Home is the center of
all activity, the place from which we
go forth to all our relationships. Then
let us form the habit of having music
—good music—in our homes, keeping
it always before our children. Having
acquired a knowledge and taste for
good music in the school and church,
they naturally bring its influence into
the home, Parents who fail to culti
vate the musical gifts of their children
deprive them, and through them the
coming generations, of that moral and,
intellectual legacy which is due them.
And just as music is a power in the
[home, so it is in the world at large.
So, whenever opportunity affords, give
your children special instruction, not
to fit them necessarily for (he profes
sion, unless they so desire, but as an
accomplishment.
So let us make a stand for good.
| wholesome music In the school nnd
home, because such mnstc makes of us
better men and women, and thus a
better citizenship. — Garnett Hedge,
Dean of Music, South Dakota State
College.
BLEACH FOR WHITE WOOL.
When yon begin looking over
the supply of winter clothing
don't get discouraged if the
white woolen garments have be
come yellow. A weak solution
of hydrogen peroxide with bop
ax added is a good bleaching
agent for white wool. Make the
solution as follows: Add one
part hydrogen peroxide to ten
parts of water and use a table
spoonful of borax to each gallon
of water.
