Again, wo must build up our merchant marine It will not aid to put ilio Govornwcnt Into competition with private own ore. That, it secma to mo, la a counsel of folly. A surer way i of dostroyinc tho promlso of our foreign trado could Jiardly ho do vised. It has well hecn asked Docs tho Government Intend to operato at a profit or at a loss? Wo need tlio encouragement and protection of Govjcmmcnt for our ohlpplng Industry, but It cannot afford to havo tho Gov ernment as n competitor. From Mr, Hughes' epcoch of accept vnco. Baa8mKa83: wsEajmemeem&sraoeacKj DECRYING INTERFERENCE, WE INTERFERED IN MEX ICO EXASPERATINGLY. Tho dealings of tho Adminis tration -with Mexico constltuto a confused chapter of blunders. rt Wo liavo not holped Mexico. Hho lies prostrate. Impoverished, famlnc-strlcken, overwhelmed with tho woes and outrages of Intorneclno strifo, tho helpless victim of a condition of anarchy which Uio course of tho Admin istration only served to promote. For oursolwjs, wo have wit nessed tho murder of our citi zens and tho destruction of their proporty. Wo havo mado ono rales, not friends. Instead of commanding respect and de serving good will by sincerity, flnnneBs, and consistency wo provoked misapprehension and deep roscntinent. In tho light of tho conduct of tho Admin l3tratlon no ono could under stand Its professions. Decrying Interference, wo interfered most cxaspcratlngly. Wo havo not oven kopt out of actual con flict, and tho soil of Moxlco Is stained with tho blood of our Boiuiors. wo nave rcsoncji to physical Invasion, only to rotirr without gaining tho professed objoct. It is a rocord which cannot bo examined without a profound sonso of humiliation. Rrom Mr. Hughes' speech of accoptanco. fesasaaajmemomomomeaa How Much la Now Left of the Bal timore Platform? Tho President had "boldly signed tho Pork River and Harbor bill, and his facllo pen Is dripping with Ink eager to attach Itself to a Pork Public Buildings bill. Tho friendliest apologists of tho Prosldont's part In tho profllgato wasto of money wrung from tho peo ple by opprosslyo taxation havo noth ing Tipttor to Bay for him than that It is hardly fair to expoct a man to Bay "I forbid!" in this Presidential year when ho is a candidate Tho forogolng words describing tho profllgato wasto of tho peoplo's money with Exocu,tlvo approval aro taken without chango from a plank of tho platform on "which Woodrow Wilson was olocted in 19112: "Wo donounco tho profllgato wasto of monoy -wrung from tho people by opprosslvo taxation through tho lavish appropriations of recont Re publican Congresses, which have kept taxes high and reduced tho purchasing powor of tho peoplo's toil. Wo demand a return to that simplicity' and economy which bo uts a democratic government." How much is now loft of tho prin ciples doclarod and tho promises reg Istorod at Iialtlmoro as inducements to citizens to voto for Wilson. Possibly it is bocauso ho and his party havo iboon such reckless, such wholesalo ropudlators of tho pledges of 1912 that fow peoplo romembor or caro to romombor what pledges wero mado in his behalf about forty days ago at SL Louis. Now York Sun. ADEQUATE NATIONAL DEFENSE DEMANDED Wo demand ndequato national defonso; adequate protection on both our Wostorn and Eastern coasts. Wo demand thorough ness and efllcloncy in both arms of tho sorvlco. It' seems to bo plain that our rogular army is too small. Wo aro too groat a country to require of our citi zens who aro engaged In peace ful vopatlons tho sort of mili tary sorvlco to which they are' now called. As well Insist that our citizens in this metropolis bo summoned to put out fires and pollco tho streets. Wo do not count it inconsistent with our liberties, or with our demo cratlo ideals, to havo an ade quate pollco force. With a pop ulation of nearly ono hundred millions wo need to be surer of oursolvos (than to become alarmod at tho prospect of hav ing a regular army which can reasonably protect our border, and perform such other military service as may be required, in tho absence of a grave emer gency. I believe, further, that there should fro not only a rea sonable lncroaso In tho rogular army, but that tho first citizen reaorvo subject to call ohould bo enlisted as a Fedoral army and trained under Federal au thority. From Mr. Hughes' speoch ot acceptance. Farm Notes. Issued by the UnlvcrtiHy of NelirnrK.i College of Agriculture. BLIGHT CAUSES DAMAGE. That considerable damage to Np 1 i-.ii.l:n orchards has been cnusod this I senson by a disease commonly known us pour blight or twig blight Is the woul that comes from the College ot Agriculture, Lincoln. The tiny bur terla which causa HiIh disease work underneath tho bark of the apple tfti-c fliev gain rntrancu through Inndrr, giowlng tlpfi or through' Hip flowers, and work bark rapidly Into the older wood, whero they wlntor over. Often limes they' cause a cankerous growth on tho oldor wood. Tho remedy for the dlseaso Is to cut off the blighted twlM and branches from four to six inches below the infected part. The prung tools used for this work mint be frequently dipped Into a disinfect ant to prevent transferring tiie dis ease to tho healthy wood. Corroilvc 1 hllmato is most commonly used for this purpose, diluted ono part to l.OHO parts of water. CHOPPED PICKLE. A toothsome chopped pickle that ap peals to most palates It furnlHhed by the home economics department of the College of Agriculture, Lincoln, as fol lows: Green tomatoos. Cabbage Vi us much ns tomato. Cnrrots V, iib much as tomato. Onions to taste. Whole cloves tied In bags. White or brown sugar. Vinegar. Chop tomatoes with chopping knife put In colander to drain. Chop cab bage, boll with tomatoes in small Juan llty of vinegar, lloll carrots In waited water until well done, chop and add to rooked tomotoes nnd cabbage. Drain tho whole nnd prepare fresh vinegar, sugar and spicep Hrlm to .i bull and put In Jars. SUMMER DRAINAGE. Though the leaves on the coin may curl In the hot summer sun, don't give up tho idea of draining your land if it really needs it in springtime, pays (lie agricultural engineering depp.it ment of tho College of Agriculture. The dry -weather is Just the time to haul the tilo economically and iL won't bo necessary to carry tilo very far on account of noft spots. Though corn may bo suffering now, if your ground hud been drained this bpiiir; tho corn would havo developed u deep ei loot system and so would have hern bolter able to resist drought. Pud died soils, good only for road bed:,, nnd found In flat districts, may be changed to good farming noil by the niaglf of the drain tilo. GRAPE KETCHUP. Tho houscwlfo whoso family in fond of giapos will find that tho following recipe for grape ketchup will please, says tho homo economics department of tho Collego of Agriculture, Lincoln: Thrco quarts grapes, stemmed. Two pounds brown sugar. Two cups vinegar. Ono teaspoon cayenne. Two tablespoons ground cinnamon. -Two tablespoons ground cloves. Two tablespoons allspice. Ono tnblespoon salt. Cook graties. run through milliliter to remove seeds, add sugur. vinoimr and spices, iloil until it thickens nnd scnl. CUTTING BERRY CANES. Tho tlmo to cut old canon from blackberry and raspberry patches is nero, says tlio horticultural depart ment of tho Collego of Agriculture, Lincoln. If tho old wines that have born fruit this year aro cut out and burned now, certain dlsonses will bo partially controlled and young canes ill 1)0 normltteil to ninkn n mnra satisfactory growth tho rcinaiudor nf the season. ROT DAMAGES TOMATO CROP. Ulossom-eild rot. ll tnmntn tllsnnHo Is causing a groat deal ot damage to the Nebraska tomato crop this year, says tho College of Agriculture. It Is causou uy rungus, growth of which Is furthered by drought. Ono remedy for tho dlseaso Is to water plants freely and destroy all diseased fruit. LUTHERAN CHURCH NOTES.

Tho tangible part ot tho work Is tho old est church building In tho state of Nebraska, nnd It Is In good repair; it will sand fdr a good many yet. We romembor this week tho activities of the old settlors in tho community; wo gather togothor to visit and havo a celebration.' Tlio country is far from what they found, and tho thing -which has nmilo It posslblo Ih tho church. Not directly, but Indirectly. And tliojo things which havo fostored out ad wuico and civilization ought not to bo allowed to retrograde. Tako tho church out of this land and tho Dakota bottom would not be worth hair so much There would bo Uttlo security of llfo or possession In n fow years. The atheists or France a hundred and fifty years ago said they would hav0 to mako a god so thoro could be any sort of government. Hut It Is strange that when there Is nn urn nf nrouiinri'i.. ijuujmu nut uwiiy uoiu so many inilu ciicoh which bring It about. With lux ury conies moral decay. Wo do not ,llkt to think of it thus, but that Is (tho case. Whon tho pondulum swings to the othop oxtromo, men seek the chinch mora.

Wfi Cnn lln fhla wnrlr innrn easily than thoy in some respects.only wo uun support u more easily finan cially if our hear is inclined that way. To support the church thus ia a very hard thing oven for a very rich man if ho is set against it. But as for the church having our sym pathy, cooperation and our spirit there Is no difference from what they had to face. It might be even harder for us since they did not have the multi plicity of things to attract their at tention that wo have. The church was a sort of social center for them, but wo Have become so comfortably Jlxed that it is easy to tny at homo nnd enjoy that. It Is still a matter of tho lovo of tho church and tho comfort of the gospel abovo other things; "t is just as hard to give our time and onorgy and thought to the church as for them. It Is always and ever will bo tho giving of solf to tho work of tho Master, nnd at that the natural man hesltntos. Tho only way tho church can bo maintained Is by tlio snmo spirit which tho old settlors had when thoy planted it the spirit of giv ing tlio self to tho work of the church. It will prosper then and not until then. A small church can bo a prosperous church as well as n big ono and some times much oaslor. Tho church does not nourish when thoro is n spirit of enso in 'Aon. Hut when all "fall to," then tho work Is easy and very pleas ant. The pastor will preach on Christian Consciousness noxt Sunday. What It Is and how it is secured. Such a topic Is interesting to nil. Sunday, September the 10th, will bo Hally Sunday In the churches. Let us innko plans to bo present and fill the housos. Wo do not want to get away from tho 100 idoa. Tho heat of the summer Is past and we will get back to our rogular work in tho Sunday school. Hopo for it; work for It.

Why Do Three Times as Many Boys Go Wron in Kansas? J. K. Codding, warden of the Kansas penitentiary, lays the blame on "The Little Alley Joints" that exist all over Kansas, where, he says, men and boys congregate night after night to play poker, shoot craps, and indulge in debauchery. See the vrnrdcn'H report on pane 43 at the I'roccrdliiKM of the Kannnu Conference of Chnrltlen and Correction, held lit J.i.urcnce, Kiuimieh, Xoteiuber, 1018. Judge Roy T. Osborne, of Independence, Kansas On page 13 of the sumo report, says: "In tAe little more than ten years the juvenile court has been estab' lished in Kansas, children under sixteen years of age, in this- state, have committed practically every crime in the calendar, including . murder in the first degree. It is astounding to observe the absolute indifference of many parents to the mordl , welfare of their offspring.
