WANT INTERPRETATION.
A typical example of inexcusable
blundering by congress in the en
actment of a statute has been
argued recently before the court
of customs appeals. The court is
asked to interpret the meaning of
paragraph 408 of the Underwood
tax iff act, the first important law
of the present administration.
The paragraph provides free
entry for “waste” of any of the
articles therein described" suit
able”for the manufacture of paper.
Careless use of the word “suitable ’
in drafting the law plunged it into
uncertanity, for it admits a wide
latitude of construction. Will
free entry be given to anything
that might be used in paper mak
ing; or must waste be used only
in paper making in order to enter
free of duty ?
Already two opposing construc
tions have been placed upon the
tatute,* one by the customs of
ficials, who imposed a tax, another
by the board of United States
general appraisers who allowed
free entry. Now the higher court
is appealed to for a third opinion
as to the intent of the law makers.
The blunder is more notable
because the language of former
’tariff acts was an ample guide,
clearly emphasizing the need for
unequivocal diction. The act of
1867 provided free entry for waste
“fit only” to be converted into
paper. The corresponding para,
graph in the 1909 act extended
free entry to waste “used chiefly”
for paper making.
With these provisions in the old
law, it seems as though intelligent
revision would have been simplic
ity itself. But with their fatal
gift of blundering the democrats
•seized upon and inserted“suitable”
in the law, the one word that
neither customs officials, lawyers
nor business men affected could
understand, and which rendered
imperative the litigation now in
the courts before the statute can
be finally enforced.
It took years of persistent and
consistent effort on the part of
such able statesmen as John Hay,
Elihu Root and Philander C. Knox
to bring the American diplomatic
service to a standard of excellence
that aroused pride at home and
commanded respect abroad. But
it only took a few months of
management of the state depart
ment under the plan of finding
places for "deserving democrats,”
to make American diplomacy a
laughing stock among all foreign
nations. The disgraceful incident
in connection with the short-lived
appointment to St. Petersburg was
but an introduction to other misfit
appointments. Appointment of
democrats by a democratic ad
ministration was to be looked for,
but the American people had a
right to expect that the search
would be for "qualified” demo
crats and not merely "deserving”
democrats. Herein lay the differ
ence between success and failure,
the dividing line between respect
and contempt. And worst of all,
Secretary of State Bryan felt
proud of his specification, “deserv
ing5' democrats.
The Carnegie Hero Fund has
just made awards for 52 deeds of
daring; but the list does not con
tain the name of the man who
tried to keep his factory running
on full time under the Underwood
tariff law.
The New York Mail declares that
lioosevelt has not “come back5'.
He “was never out55, it says. All
right, we will not quibble about
words. The main thing is that
most of his party has “come back55
anyway.
Geraldine Farrar is to receive
$2 a minute as an actress in the
movies. Almost as much as Bryan
gets for the time he puts in at the
State Department.

Hail Loses Last Year Were Greater
Than Any Previous Year
in the history of the state. Many farmers protected
their crops by insurance and received fair and
honest settlement from all responsible companies.
We represent several of the best companies writ
ing this class of insurance,
We solicit your hail insnrance this year and
urge you not to write it elsewhere until you have
talked with us. You may be aware of the un
satisfactory experience some farmers have had in
writing their insurance with strangers. You may
already understand the advantage of dealing with
home men, who will be here to see that you get a
square deal in case of loss, rather than with a
stranger who will never return. Your neighbors
who insured their crops with us last year will tell
you their settlements were satisfactory in every
way. Ask them.
Do not take out hail insurance until you see us.

FETERITA.
—
Feterita is one of the sorghum;
family which promises popularity
in the semi-arid belt. In it the
commendable qualities of milo and
kaffir seem to be consolidated.
Some variation is reported in the
amount of seed to be planted but
it is generally accepted that live
pounds to the acre is about right.
The corn planter is used for drill
ing in the seed about eight inches
apart, and proper cultivation
should be given. The plant stools
considerably and grows four or
five feet high. The heads are
straight and fill well. The easiest
way to harvest is with a corn!
binder. Farmers of western Ne-jl
braska should give feterita atrial, j
Farmers and Mule Breeders.
The breeding of mules for farm
use has been neglected in this sec
tion for years. As a work animal
it is conceded that the mule has no
equal. Harry Obermiller, who
lives just south of Schaupps, and
who is an old-time and experienced
mule breeder, announces that he
will offer for service this season.
Prince Albert, a magnificent black
Spanish Jack. He is a big fellow;
is 16 hands high and weighs 1,050
pounds. He is a jack of fine ac
tion and has a record as a foal
getter. The service fee is $10, and
he will make the season at Mr.
Obermiller’s farm, a quarter of a
mile south of Schaupps. Mr. Ober
miller announces that he will make
a specialty of breeding so-called
barren mares.

husband and home, and that final

Hfords Don’t Describe Glacier National Park
If you tour the Pacific coast this summer, this is your chance to visit
Glacier National Park, on the Great Northern railway, and if you are plann
ing a vacation in the Rocky mountains you will never know their mag
nificence until you have spent two or three days in Glacier: this region is
the indescribable climax of the grandeur of the Rockies. Here you pene
trate into localities of mountain lakes and forests: you see actual sources of
cascades and waterfalls from melting glaciers: you zigzag over mountain
shoulders along finely built government trails that yield to the beholder
from various viewpoints one or two miles high, such scenic and bizarre
perspectives embracing canyons and mountain sides of multicolored walls.
>road expanses of weird topography in countless hues, that word painting
>r any kind of painting seems cheap and futile. This is indeed a perfectly
ielightful vacation region—with modern hotels and fascinating chalets.
;rout streams, horeback trails, a fifty mile government automobile road that
,akes you right into the heart of this land of silent enchantment.
Tours one to five days. Everything moderate in price and everybody
ittentive to your comfort and entertainment. Send for printed matter,
beautifully illustrated, study it and see if you can plana finer vacation trip.
