At frequent intervals promoters have resorted to extrayagant advertising to dispose of this seed guaranteed to produce a $400 crop for each acre planted. . : ; ‘ All of these names have been applied to the Jack bean, merely to delude the buyer. There is little value to the bean. 5 ‘It produces a fairly large green herbage, which is extremely bitter and of little value as food for stock or humans. The beans are not relished by animals. Cattle make no gains ‘when forced to eat the bean. In- vestigations of the U. 8. Department of Agricul- ture have:proven the Jack bean to be of little or no‘value as human or cattle food. ‘Pullman rates are high but if the uppers were higher there wouldn’t be so many bumped heads inthe lowers., | j ANOTHER. GLASS.OF WATER, PLEASE! ‘Now-comes the disillusioning report that: Ha- vana‘is not full of full Americans. , The report- ed' thousands'of Americans who had voluntarily renounced the United States and taken up per- manent residence in Cuba’ as a protest against “the-abolition of personal liberty” are mythical. -: And‘thus we had ja notionit would be. The good citizens who were going to remove to Cuba ‘were, of course, talking through their hats. They have. abated their thirsts and’ decided that the. United States is a pretty good old ‘place to live in, after all. They have not abandoned their-work and devoted their time to drinking themselves to death at leisure. ‘Men who have saved wp enough money, to! spend the rest of their lives drinking in Cuba _ ave.usually men who have'so developed the habit of working that such a life would ‘be intolerable. There’s lots-of talk about wireless telephony but listening in on a four-party line continues to be the thrilling occupatipn. , A DOG ON TRIAL. ” Most lawyers sniiled when they read the other day. that Judge Evans, of Winchester, Ky., has taken under advisement the case of Old King, a blooded fox hound, tried in Judge Evans’ court on-a charge of murdering sheep. - ' This is probably the first case in American jurisprudence in which an animal has-been tried. - But it is not. without European precedent. * The fleas of a town in Auvergne, in France, _Were granted a tract of land by a court in the fifteenth century, where they would be free from _ the molestation of dogs and men; in return, they were.to leave dogs and men alone elsewhere. Then there is the classic rooster of Basle, tried in 1474 for the alleged laying of an egg. _. Rooster eggs were held to be the production of the devil, as they were_supposed to be’ used chiefly in magical concoctions.’ The wer accordingly, in sentencing the fooster and the egg to be burned at. the stake, made a fine distinction. , It was as the child of the devil, not as a mere ‘rooster, that chanticleer.was to suffer death. Quibbling is as old as the law. , . Some decisions of modern courts give as good cause for a smile: as this-one of the medieval judge. \ An ad says “Refined Dancing Every Evening; Except Monday.” What's the answer? Is Mon- day the night of the big crowd? HATS OFF TO HER. Somebody asked Miss Alice Robertson, new Congresswoman from Oklahoma, whether she is going to have anything to do with running the restaurant in the House of Representatives, she being a cafeteria owner in private life. _ And she answered:. “My constituents didn’t send me to Washington to cook. I can cook and Tun the restaurant, but my folks desire me to represent them in other ways. I am not intend- ing to do anything spectacular or unseemly.” You speak good sense, Miss Robertson. And : in importing the quality of good sense to Wash. -ington you are performing a national service. Your remarks should point a lesson to the | numerous variety Of male law-makers who think| ‘the performance of “stunts” is the principal) function of legislative service. The hoppers of: every state legislature are full of their freak! bills, never intended to be passed. But, having! attained a brief hour of publicity, they have| served their only purpose. | Then again, Miss Robertson, your -words will set right a lot of men folks who have been ex- pecting bizarre and fuolish things to come from women in office. - For the benefit of all such you have demonstrated there is an equality of com- mon sense as real as the new equality of civil rights. Thank you, Miss Robertson. / There's a lot of discussion about why women .20| shut their eyes when they’re kissed. One look at the average masculine map furnishes reason enough. EDITORIAL REVIEW .

Harding's the other day when he formally relinquished the editorship of the Marion Star. The trooping of memories must have brought to the Star’e-éwnéwa mixture of sadness and joy. This was inevitable in the case bof a man who built a newspaper up from nothing. who made something which in turn helped to make him and who at the end of more than a generation was letting go his close hold on this creature of his own ability and going away to the greater and more exacting adventure of the Presidency of the United States. “We have purchased the Star and will stay.” Such was young Harding's succinct grecting and promise to the people of his home town on No- vember 26, 1884. That was a long time ago. Harding was a Jad of 19. Perhaps the people; of Marion, who had seen one newspaper after another go by the board and who realized how hard it was to keep a daily alive in a town of 4,000, smiled over the brief declaration of intent. But “we” ‘stayed for thirty-six years and “we” presumably wilhgo back to the old desk when the White House days are over. Fa It is the struggle of many years, begining a few days after the first election of Cleveland to the Presidency, that is the real story of Warren Harding’s later success. No man can keep a daily paper going in a town unless his fellows like him and trust him. There is a personal relation’ which does not exist. in the cities. The editor ina town| ~: such as Marion was then—it is seven times as big now—has to know everybody. He must per- sonally find news items ahd advertising. must have a personal interest in the vita] statis. tics, the lost dogs, the strawberry festivals, the political ambitions of the town supervise.’ ,.And in the day when Harding took hold of Star a small town editor had to be fiercely partisan. That was the political fashion of the day when every republican was deeply grieved by the de-| feat of Blaine and fearful of what Cleveland’s election would mean to the country. It is easy to understand now why young Hard- ing was able to keep his promise to stay. Marion liked dnd trusted him and he understood Marion. Yet while that affection was in the making the young)editor ‘underwent all the business and edi- torial tribulations which the fates have inflicted on budding editors since the first of the graphic cavemen hacked news pictorially on a stone wall. Digging into the last corner of his pockets to pay off the printer on Saturday night; collecting in advance from advertisers to pay the paper man; struggling to make the badly worn dress of type do duty a little longer; fighting to make circula- tion and then longing fora press capable of| handling it—every’ young newspaper pioneer, whether Bén Day or the first Bennett or young Harding, ‘thas had the same useful but nerve wracking experience. It might be said of Harding that he took better care of his newspaper than of what political am- bition he may have-had. He carefully and delib- erately prevented his. newspaper from’ saying anything about Warren G, Harding. All the kind things that were said in Marion about him had to travel Y word cf mouth. In spite of this inhi- bition all of Ohio came to know Harding, not merely as the owner of.a good newspaper but.as the possessor of a good mind. t Of course it was the Star that made tts owner, even though it printed vever a word about him. He had transformed it frem a few fonts of type and a cheap press into one of the powers of a great State. After, he had slaved twenty years for the Star, the Sicr began to work for him. So the recent parting was between mutual friends; for to axman who has made it-a newspaper is a throbbing entity. : : A lawyer chosen to the Presidency can take with him his law books; a soldier can. take his maps. But there is no way to bring a Hoe press into the White House. The Star must stay in Marion, and twinkle forth its daily light. The! man who made it shine so brightly must be con- tent for the next few years with the pleasant memories of his youthful struggle—the battle that brought him not only professional success but the greatest office in the gift of democracy.— New York Herald.
