and his party in Washington, NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS Reed Headquarters Opened —Plain Facts for the Latin Americans. By EDWARD W. PICKARD AMES A. REED, senior senator from Missouri, Is now a fully de- veloped candidate for the Democratic nomination for President. With his full knowledge and consent, campaign headquarters have been opened in the Washington hotel In which he resides, and Lee Meriwether of St. Louis, in charge, has issued a statement liken- ing Reed to Andrew Jackson and set- ting forth some of the reasons why the Democrats should nominate him at the Houston convention. In telling how the senator stands on various issues Mr. Meriwether was silent con- cerning prohibition. Mr. Reed is known to be a wet, but he insists that prohibition is not properly a partisan question. His friends believe that, by keeping that issue In the background, he may be found to be a good com- promise candidate in case Al Smith encounters as large and determnined an opposition as he did in 1924, With the exception of this Reed boom and the Heflin outbursts in the senate the progress of Al Smith toward the nomination seems not seri- ously impeded. His supporters grow more confident dally, and the Demo- cratic drys have yet to find an avall- able opponent. Many of them are ap- parently disposed to accept Smith's assurances that he is am upholder of the Constitution in its entirety. 1n New York they are debating whether or mot it would be wise for the gov- srnor to attend the convention, Jesse Jones of Houston is being talked of a® Smith's running mate. tioover and Lowden are racing hard for the Republican momination, with Curtis, Willis and others trailing. The [llinoisan still depends largely on the farm relief issue, insisting that the McNary-Haugen measure must be passed and that the equalization fee feature must net be omitted. His eritics think perhaps his platform ie ton narrow and its main plank toe shaky. Senator forah of idaho, whe thinks the Hepublican platform should comn- tain a strong plank on prohibition en- forcement, announced some time ago that he would question every candi date on his stand en prohibition. The first to be quizzed and te reply was Renator Curtis of Kansas. Ia a let- ter to PDorah he sald: “While I have no desire to dictate what shall be in the next national Re- publican platform, I, personally, favor a plank referring to the Eighteenth amendment and the laws enacted to carry it into effect and [ favor the plank pledging the gpomination to a fair, vigorous and faithful enforcement of them. In my opinion, it is the great est moral Issue of sll ages and public sentiment demands that both of the political parties declare themselves unequivocally upon it. “Should 1 be nominated and elected President, I favor meeting the issue squarely and believe in the strict and energetic enforcement of the laws to earry out the Constitutional amend- ment. “I am opposed to a policy which will allow any state to determine for itself the alcoholic content of bever- ages to be manufactured. sold. and transported throughout the country.” In Wisconsin the La Follette radi cals have indorsed Senator Norris of Nebraska for President and adopted a platform containing a plank calling for 2.75 per cent beer, despite the fact that Norris is a confirmed dry. Low- dent's name also will be placed on the Republican preferential ballot in Wis. con®in next April, and probably that of Hoover. M— EPUBLICAN wets in the senate have made a practice of nagging the Democratic Southern drys con cerning the nonenforcement In the South of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments to the Constitution, ' Last week Senator Swanson of Virginia deemed the time had come to reply, and he delivered a long prepared speech defending the Southern states in this matter. He denied that they are violating the Fifteenth amendment prohibiting the states from denying or abridging the right of citizens to vote “on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.” Ad mitting that many negroes have heen eliminated as voters, he asserted that this has resulted from Imposition eof educational and property qualifica- tions, requirements as to length eof residence, and payment of poll taxes All of these regulations have been sustained"'by the courts as within the provisions of the Fifteenth amend ment, he declared. Lively debate followed, Senator Bruce of Maryland, a Democratic wet leader, Ingisting that the Southern states have evaded the Fifteenth amendment, whether within or with- out the authority of the Constitution, and that the situation is comparable with that existing under the Eight eenth amendment applying to prohibi tion. “It seems to me,” he said, “that we who are opposed to the Eighteenth amendment ought to be permitted to apply the same ingenuity, not to say chicanery, to evade its provisions.” Senator Glass of Virginia supported the position of Senator Swanson, and Senator Borah rose to state that care ful study of the laws of the Southern states had convinced him pone of them violated the Fifteenth amend ment, Heflin the irrepressible amused the packed senate galleries by another tirade against the Catholie church whose agefits, he declared," had threat: ened to poison him. He also de nounced some of the mewspaper men in the press gallery as “squirrel headed and cowardly pen pushers.” PrESIDENY COSGRAVE of the Irish Free State, after a swift trip to Chicago, spent several busy daye in Washington as the guest of the gov- ernment. Formal calls were exchanged with President Coolidge and ether high officials, and en Wednesday Mr Cosgrave was received with extraor- dinary honors on the floors of the house of representatives and the sen ate, Speaker Longworth and Vice President Dawes announced his com ing in each house and all the mem bers were Introduced and shook his hand. Mr. Cosgrave said he consid ered this the greatest honor paid to ireland In all the ages. Before going to the capitol, be nid a wreath on the tomb of the Unknown Seldier, and also visited Mount Vernon and spent hours inspecting the Washington relics. On the stone coffin of the first President he placed a handsome wreath tied with the Irish national colors, HARLES EVANS HUGHES, head of the United States delegation in Havana, has politely but flatly told the Pan-American conference the posi: tion of his government on matters that have aroused criticism. He said that the United States has no imperialistic alms anywhere In Latin America and intends to withdraw from Nicaragua and Haiti a» soon as order and some: thing like a stable government have been established. But he made (it plain that we propose to continue to dominate the area about the Panama and Nicaragua canal routes; that we will not let the Pan-American union be made Into a political institution, and that we will enter no international combination that claims a right to in- terfere in what the United States con- siders its personal affairs. Several moves contravening these principles alrendy have been headed off by Mr, Hughes and his colleagues, and now it looks as If in the main they will be indorsed or let alone by the confer. ence.

In put ting forth these views the President alluded especially to a statement at- tributed to Rear Admiral Plunkett in New York to the effect that war be tween the United States and her com: mercial competitors was Inevitable. Mr. Coolidge holds that there Is no serious threat of attack from any for eign government and that of course the United States has no hostile attl tide toward any other nation. Ad: miral Plunkett's statement was se verely criticized abroad, especially in England.

(Prepared by the United Btates Department of Agriculture) It 1s positively known that the in fection of hog cholera may be car ried from contaminated sources to clean premises, from the sick herd to the healthy one. Though some of the means of conveying the disease are still obscure, there are several well known channels of Infection. Againgt these the swine owners may readily guard in protecting thelr herds, The most dangerous factor in the United States De partment of Agriculture, Is the con tact of hogs sick with cholera with rusceptible hogs, that Is, hogs that have not been immunized. Sick hogs should be kept apart from the re mainder of the herd and should be well fenced in, thus eliminating the danger of their escaping and mingling with healthy though susceptible hogs. On the other hand farmers should keep all hogs protected against roam: ing bogs by having hog-tight fences.

Plant Forage Designed for the Silo Nearby In planting forage designed for the silo, a few details should be kept in mind, First, it should be grown as close to the silo or point of feeding as possible, because silage is bulky and should not be hauled any farther than necessary. A crop that Is grown on rich soil under favorable conditions is generally of better quality than one grown on poor soil. Quick growth has less woody fiber and is more digest. ble and palatable; therefore, the land should have enough fertilizer to make a rapid growth, Now Using Muddy Water Method for Inoculating good many are now. using the muddy water method for inoculating; that is, mix your dirt with water un- til 1t Is smooth and about the consist. ency of thick cream, and apply it to the seed, stirring well.
