SEES DANGER IN SITUATION New York World Comments on Popu- lar Feeling Toward Roosevelt. New York, June 20.—The New York papers editorially comment on the re- turn of former Président Roosevelt for the most part from the standpoint of their political prejuafces. The Her- ald says nothing whatever. The World carries two editorials— one 2,000 words long and the other a single paragraph, as follows: “The return from Elba is 100 r]ays late—this is the anniversary of Water- loo.” « The leading editorial reviews the feeling toward Roosevelt of the peo- ple, which is characteristic as an ef- fort to deify Roosevelt that is not po- litical prejudice, but reaction. In con- clusion it says: ‘“What every thoughtful American has reason to be concerned about is not Mr. Roosevelt's plans and pur- poses, but the average citizen’s atti- tude toward Mr. Roosevelt. This is the thing of superlative importance— this new and sinister and un-American passion for personal government.” Rushing Work ‘on Cutoff. Ellensburg, Wash., June 20.—The Northern Pacific railroad is rushing work on the Ellensburg-Ritzville cutoff in the Columbia river valley. The cut- off will shorten the line between Seat- tle and St. Paul 100 miles. KNOX REFUSES T0 DISCUSS IT Silent on Candidacy for Key- stone Governorship, BELIEVED HE WILL ACCEPT Impression Prevails In Washington That if the Republicans of Pennsyl- vania Unanimously Nominate Him for Chief Executive He Will Retire From the State Department—Stories of Dissension at Wzshington Denied. Washington, June 20.—Secretary of State Knox declined to announce Whether he would leave the cabinet and run for governor of Pennsylvania it nominated by the Republican con- vention, which meets June 22. “I know absolutely nothing about the matter, except what I have seen in the newspapers,” said Secretary Knox, smiling blandly. “I have not authorized anybody to say or do any- thing for me in this respect. I do not think it expedient to say anything about it at this time.” Further than this Secretary Knox could not be induced to speak. The impression grows, however, that if the Pennsylvania convention should nomi- nate Secretary Knox unanimously he will accept. ‘Why Secretary Knox should be will- ing to leave the cabinet, even for the governorship of Pennsylvania, is some- thing of a mystery in official circles. Rumors of Dissensions Denied. Stories of disagreements between himself and President Taft are denied on all sides as canards. In fact, both President Taft and Mr. Knox have taken occasion recently to express their admiration for and confidence in each other. After a cabinet meeting only one week ago, they appeared in the executive offices with the presi- dent’s arm wrapped affectionately about the shoulders of Secretary Knox, each laughing heartily at some humor- ous observation by the president. While it is true that President Taft has not used the acknowledged legal ability of Secretary Knox so much as it was expected he would do, but has relied for legal advice on Attorney General Wickersham, it is equally as true that Secretary Knox has been su- preme in his work at the head of the state department. It is conceded by all the Pennsylva- nia members of congress now here that if Secretary Knox wants the gubernatorial nomination in Pennsyl- vania he can have it for the asking. Not In His Line, “They tell me,”” said the new re- porter, who was doing an Interview, “that you have succeeded in forging your way to the front.” “Sir,” replied the self made man cold- ly, “you have been misinformed. I'm no forger.”—London Globe, Foresight. “Talk about foresight!” “Well 7" “Old Gotrox left a thousand tons of coal in trust, not to be touched until the youngest child is of age.”—Kansas City Journal. —_— How to Be Strong.

Former Princess Chimay, De- serted by Last Husband. AGAIN IN THE LIMELIGHT Another Somber Chapter In Life of Beautiful American Girl. Paris, June 20.—Another chapter in the somber romances of beautiful Clara Ward of Detroit was revealed here when the woman, now the wife of Peppino Ricciardi of Naples, made known that she had been deserted by her husband, who accused her of an intrigue with the family butler. Ricclardi was known as “the hand- somest man in Naples.” He married his wife shortly after her desertion by the gypsy violinist, Rigo, for love of whom she deserted her first husband, Prince Chimay, and became a social outcast. It is reported that Ricciardi has made absolutely no provision for his wife, though he is a man of consider- able wealth. Signora Ricciardi protests her inno- cence of the charge made against her by her husband. MOST IMMIGRANTS BRITISH Influx Into Canada Third During Ten Years. ‘Winnipeg, June 20.—According to official statistics now being issued by the immigration department immigra- tion to Canada in the last ten years totaled 1,455,288. The fiscal year recently closed eclipsed all others in the volume of immigration, the arrivals numbering 208,794. Of the grand total for the decade about 565,000 came from the British Isles, 344,000 from the Conti- nent and 497,000 from the United States. Americans across the border are, therefore, within 68,000 of the to- tal of British immigration. Of the immigration from the British Isles, about 418,000 came from Eng- land and Wales, 108,987 from Scotland and 34,124 from Ireland. Japanese immigration in the last three years to- taled 8,367.

Everylhmg Heady -fo-Wear :+++++++++‘++++++ * Canada Thistle a Serious Pest, + Andrew Bos iment Station. * ol ol oo oo ole ole o ol ol ok ok o b o o The Canada thistle has been spread- ing rapidly in Minnesota during the past two or three years and is becom- ing a serious pest. It grows persistent- ly and vigorously and crowds the grain crops badly where allowed to survive. The sharp spines on the leaves are exceedingly annoying In harvesting the grain and are equally offensive to animals at work or in pasture. Identification. The Canada thistle is ot a perennial weed with deep root stalks |\ which spread rapidly in all directions, The stems are erect and from two to four feet high. The leaves are deeply notched, armed with numerous sharp spines and somewhat downy on the under side. The blossoms are small and vary in”color trom pale purple to nearly white, Method of Spreading. This thistle spreads by seeds and from the root stocks. The seeds are carried jn grass and clover seeds and seed grain, by the wind and by farm machinery. The root stocks are dragged about the flelds by farm implements and new spots ‘often infected from this source. Eradication. When flelds are only slightly infested with thistles they may be destroyed by cutting the plants off with a spade deeply beneath the surface of the ground every time they appear. This requires constant watch- fulness throughout the entire growing season and must be kept up for a num- ber of years. Where a large fleld is badly infested the most practical method of eradication will be to bare fallow the land. The thistles should be plowed under deeply early in the summer before they come into blos- som. The land should then be worked frequently enough with a surface slic- ing implement such as a disc or Acme harrow to prevent any of the plants appearing above ground. The cultiva- tion must be kept up until late in the fall, as the Canada thistle is a very persistent grower. If a cultivated crop can follow the next year the_ eradica tion ‘will be more sure. Thistles seldom trouble much where short crop rotations are practiced. A three-year rotation of grain, clover A Canada thistle Joat coming Into Blos- som. Note the strength of the root stock and the frequency with which stems are thrown up. These root stocks have been known to extend | ten to twelve feet from the parent plant in a single season. and cultivated crops will effectually check the spread of the thistle and in time with good cultivation eradicate it. Where the thistles are bad the clover should be heavily seeded and plowed in July or August after the first crop has been cut for hay. Fre quent cultivation during the fall and hand hoeing the affected spots in the cultivated crops the following year will soon exhaust the thistles. . Humor at Funerals. In “Other Days” Willlam Winter, fhe famous dramatic critic, tells how he and Joseph Jefferson were among the pallbearers' at McCullough’s fu- neral. “As our melancholy train. was halted in a Philadelphia street,” says Mr. Winter, “he glanced along the line and gravely remarked, ‘I never knew before that.there were 50 many walk- ing gentlemen in my profession.’” Another qualnt anecdote which he tells with reference to a melancholy occasion is this onc on the burial of John Brougham: “Edwin Booth and I assisted to bear his pall. I remember that the two gravediggers after they had lowered his coffin a little way Into the grave ‘were constrained, with many muttered exclamations of ‘Aise her! and ‘Raise her? to lift it up agaln In order to enlarge the cavity. Booth and I, like Hamlet and Foratlo, were stand- Ing under a neighboring tree observing these proceedings, and nothing was ever more woefully comic or more im- morously rueful than Hamlet’s smile a8 he looked at me with those deep, melapcholy eyes and with that little, furtive grimace, murmuring as he did 80, ‘It’s the last recall.’” Trouble Making. Trouble making Is an older industry than the manufacture of steel. Caln, the trouble maker, got into action be- fore Tubal Cain, the fronworker, and Eve got Adam Into hot water long be- fore the bollermakers’ union began busigess. There are three brands of trouble— imaginary, borrowed and real.

On one occasion De Pachmann, the famous planist, with his nervous and irritable temperament, was summoned to appear before Queen Alexandra at Buckingham palace, He immedlately adopted anarchism as his political falth and obstinately refused to go. His friends labored with him for hours and at last persuaded him not to com- mit an impertinence which would nev- er-be forgiven by the English people. Finally he was dispatched in a cab. The night wore on to morning, and the frantle wife of the planist and his friends could legrn nothing of what had become of him. At last a forlorn looking cab drove up to the house, and De Pachmann dismounted. On leaving the palace he had forgotten where he lived and could only tell the cabman that it was in a square with a church in it. So all night long he had been engaged in making a round of the fnnumerable squares of London. ‘The Surprise of Slivnitsa. “T have never quite made out,” says a writer in “Near East” “why the plain of Slivnitsa has come to be re- garded as the scene of one of the great decisive battles of the world’s his- tory. It did not even decide the Servo- Bulgarian war in 1885. That was de- cided by Austria Intervention. The battle. of Slivnitsa is really only re- markable for the comical fact that both sides thought they were defeated, and while Milan of Servia was hurry- ing home in confusion Alexander of Bulgaria galloped all the way back to his capital before he learned that the tide had turned. Nowadays the vil- lage looks sleepy enough, poor and dirty. like most Bulgarian villages, but almost gay when the sun shines upon its red roofs.” New-Cash-Want-Rats ',-Cent-a-Word Where cash accompanies copy we will publish all “Want Ads" for half- cent a word per insertion.
