“WASHINGTON LETTER.
Special to The Commercial.
By his request to Representative
Clayton to keep out of the Senatorial
race in Alabama, President Wilson
has shown that consistency is not
always a paramount consideration
with him and that he will not permit
it to be invoked to prevent him from
action which he considers necessary.
The President’s interference in the
Alabama case presents a number of
interesting phases. Mr. Clayton was
the chief opponent of Representative
Underwood, Chairman of the Ways
and Means Committee in the House.
Mr. Underwood has worked in close
harmony with the President in the
preparation and passage of the Wil-
son-Underwood tariff bill. It is natu-
ral that the President should reel un-
der substantial obligation to Mr. Un-
derwood for the great service render-
ed in the House on the tariff. Itjwas
Mr. Underwood’s personal strength
among his colleagues which on one
or two occasions prevented the more
radical Democrats from amending
the tariff bill in caueus in a way that
would haye been decidedly displeas-
ing to the President. Mr. Underwood
has announced his candidacy for the
Senate and his presemce in the upper
house would undoubtedly be of ma~
terial assistance to the President.
The fight over the currency bill has
a®eady demonstrated that the Presi-
dent’s control im the Senate is @an-
gerously narrow. The addition of a
strong man like Underwood to the
Democratic group in the Senate that
is willing to aet whole-heartedly in
accord with the President will be of
material assistance to the White
House in pushing its legislative pro-
gram.
The New Jersey situation isso com-
plicated as to present a veny puzzling
proposition to the President and to
make interference by him dangerous.
Mr. Wilson strongly supported Gover-
nor Fielder ‘in his canvass for the
Democratic nomination. But once
nominated, Governor Fielder has
given several indications of a willing-
ness to deal with the Smith-Nugent
faction, the bitterest enemies of the
President. It was Mr. Wilson’s fight
against Smith and Nugent, the old-
line bosses of the Democratic machine
in New Jersey, which gave him his
chief prominence as a candidate for
the Democratic Presidential nomina-
tion. Now, with Fielder, his nominee
for the governorship, going back on
him and trafficking with Smith and
Nugent, the President is put in an ex-
tremely awkward position in his own
state. This awkwardness was em-
sized by the overwhelming ‘defeat
‘the President’s candidate for the
chairmanship of the Democratic state
committee of New Jersey and the
election of the Smith-Nuget can-
didate.
The President faces a three angled
problem. He can continue to support
Fielder and thus be brought into
working co-operotion with his old an-
tagonists, the Smith-Nugent crowd,
with its obviously damaging results.
Or he can keep out altogether, which
is the least troublesome, and also the
least creditable course. This is the
one which he apparently has eleated
to follow. i
The President’s call upon Mr. Clay-
ton does not take the form of a direct
request to keep out of the Senatorial
race in Alabama. And he bases this
request upon the proposition that Mr.
Clayton as chairman of the Judiciary
Committee will be a power hereafter
in handling the legislative program
on trusts and corporations, which the
President intimates will shortly come
before Congress. ’

Protecting Trees From Rabbits.
and Mice
The old subject of protection of
young orchards during the winter
from injnry by rabbits and mice is
one that constantly recurs at the office
of State Zoologist H. A. Surface, Har-
risburg. To an earnest inquiry from
Wayne county, Pa., Professor Surface
again replies with practical imforma-
tion as follows:
If I' had small trees that were
threatened with injuries from rabbits
during the winter, I should certainly
shoot, trap or poison the rabbits. In
case this is not done, I would make
wire tree protectors by bending gal-
vanized wire of one-fourth or one-half
inch mesh, so that it forms a tube the
height of the trunk of the tree, or at
least equal to the full depth of the
average snow in the region, and put
this wire tree protector around the
tree like you would use an open ring.
The woven wire protectors made of
galvanized material may be left on
the trees if you do not bind them too
tighly, or, better, they can be stored
in the spring for furrher use. I prefer
wire to wood.
If such wire protectors are sunken
into the earth while itis yet unfrozen,
‘they may materially aid in helping al-
so to protect the trees from mice.
However,in my own practical orchard-
ing I use no protectors. I use and
recommend to others the application
of the boiled lime-sulphur solution,
applied as a wash either with a brush,
or with a spray pump, with a coarse
nozzle or with out any nozzle. The
lime-sulfur solution can be made the
same as for the:San Jose scale, and in
the order to give it some body some
free sulfur may be added. "The first
application should be made shortly
after the firt smowfrll, and this should
be repeated two or three times during
the winter. To aid in keeping away
mice the earth should be mounded
around the trees to a height of four
or five inckes, and the lower end of
this wire protector sunk into the
earth around the top of mound around
the tree. The sprayingis better than
the wire protector, because if the
snow is deep rabbits will be able to
feed above the protector.
