more than was used by the wheat, py
the succeeding crop of clover which
should have been established with
the growing crop of wheat. one OF
the chief advantages of growing
wheat is the opportunity to establish
with it q succeeding crop OF clover.
But the phosphoric acid and the pot
ash must be supplied in some other
way. Wheat bran contains great
deal more nitrogen, phosphoric acio
and potash, than the same weight OF
the grain of wheat, corn, or oats.
If the farmer will grow and sell
wheat he should buy and feed an
equal weight of bran, when bran is az
a reasonable price, and carefully save
and spread the manure. When wheat
bran is cheap in price, 1t may almost
pay to buy and carefully spread 1t on
the land because it is so rich in the
three essential elements of soil fer
tility. But the farmer should feed IT.

The 81. Louis Globe Democrat under
takes to explain why the West is 50
decidedly Republican by saying: 1T
is well known to the majority of the
voters of the United States that the
Republican party stands for public
spirit patriotism and sanity in the
treatment of all national questions.
The Republicans course on every great
issue which has arisen since the party
much more than forty years ago
was founded has commended itself to
the majority Of the intelligent, progress
sive people of the United States. 1t
has the confidence of the bulk of the
Americans to Il far larger degree than
any other party has ever had which
has figured in the country's politics.
Whenever 4 great issue arises the peo-
pie know that the Republican party
will deal wisely and courageousiy with
it," And those are good reasons why
the great and progressive West is now
solidly Republican from the Middle
states to the Pacific ocean.

The Socialist Movement.

There has been considerable COM
ment on the fact that nearly 400, ,ooo
Socialist votes were cast at this faiis
elections. Yet it is hardly a surpris-
ing thing under the circumstances. Inc
Populist movement has died cut ana
not a person bearing the designation OF
PonuIist will sit in either branch OF the
5Sth Congress. 1t is evident iroin its
recent gains that the Socialist party is
destined TO be the next third party

out Of an available voting popula-
ton of about 15.000,000 American citi-

to Socialist candidates and principles.
There may be a greater proportion IN
1904. These men represent those
who are discontinued with the present
constitution OF society. those who are
warped in their political ideas by Eu-
rorean conditions from which. they
have lust emerged, and<those who are

II is strange that Socialism has Ead

of Socialist success in the future lies
in the probable attempt of the

vote by surrendering to some Of its
claims and principles. just as it canitu-
lated TO Populism in 1896. The
Democracy has tried many strange al
Iiances with noisy, little guerrilla
parties ana has been weakened by each
such debauch, but there is little cvi-
drDcc that il has learned a lesson from
its experiences. 1t would not be the
strangcst thing that has happened in
politics if Bryan should be the Socialist
nominee in 1904, taking along with
him a large share of those who have
followed him under the name of Dem
ocrats. The 100000 Socialist votes
cast. this fall will be exceeded in com
ing elections before the party runs its
