One of the troubles with crimson

Try the plan of adding one-quarter Of
red clover seed: that is, SOW eight

While the usual plan is to SOW the
clover at the time of the last cuItiva-

often had by sowing the seed alone
after thorough preparation of the
soil by blowing aud narrowing. Natu-
rally. by this plan, tle roots penetrate
deeper into the soil. hence the danger
of winter killing is lessened. Those

THE KANSAS CITY BANQUET.

The Jefferson banquet given by the
Jackson county Democratic club at
Kansas City April Goth vas the most
important political meeting in the
West this year. The date was ar
ranged to coincide with the meeting
of the Democratic Press Association
and the editors were guests at the
banquet. They were royalty enter
tanned. 1t had been asserted by the
Kansas City Star and other repub-
lican papers that the meeting was
designed to launch certain booms.
Nothing of the kind occurred. 1t was
the gath ering of the clans from Mis-
souri,, Kansas, Iowa, and Nebraska.
1t vas a show Of force Of the
Western democracy: and if the
occasion may be taken as an indica-
tion of the spirit of democracy In the
West, its armies are 10 fighting trim
and ready for the combat in 1904.
There were nOtables there-Cock-
rell, Bryan, Stone, O%vermYer, and
Cato Sells. 1t was not a crowd
that needed to be recognized. 1t
was a harmony banquet 10 which
harmony was not thought Of, because
it was in the air everywhere, 1t was
a proud day for the Jackson county
Democratic Club and for the Demo-
cratic Press Association and one long
TO be remembered.

THE GOVERNORS VETO.

The people Of the state ought to
approve and doubtless will approve Of
the action Of the governor in vetoing
the bill to establish a normal school
In southw.s st Missouri. This action
was taken from no hostility to the
cause Of education, but % account OF
the fact that the legislature passed
bills involving appropriations Of half a
million dollars more than the revenues
Of the state. 1t thus became neces-
sary for the governor to veto such
appropriations as could be spared and
to whittle down the appropriations to
institutions already ia existence.
There was no good aud sufficient
reason for the establishment Of the
southwest normal anyhow. The three
institutions Of this kind now 10 Mis-
souri, are ample to serve the purpose
TOT Wnlcn Jney are designed. A
large per cent, a very large per cent
OF those who attend these institutions
do not expect to be teachers. They
pursue in these institutions, many OF
them, the same studies which they
might pursue 10 the home high
schools. AS a part Of the public
educational system, the normal school
is a necessity. That it can serve a
useful purpose no one will deny We
cannot have good public schools
without good teachers, and the normal
school is designed to equip teachers
for their work. Put there is no
reason for establishing one in every
section of the state unless it can
be shown that the present normal
schools are Inadequate.

SHORT.LIyED INDIGNATION.

1t is a sorry commentary upon the
health Of public sentiment 10 America
that public interest cannot be kept
alive as long as a trial can be drawn
out, The public takes no further
interest 10 the Goebel murder case 10
Kentucky. Youtsey's confession and
the various corroborative evidence
leave no doubt 10 the minds Of any
body that Taylor designed, planned,
and paid for the murder. Yet he
lives in perfect security just across
the Ohio river. The governor Of
Indiana refuses to honor a requisltion
from the governor Of Kentucky. The
public no longer feels any indignation
over it,
Suppose Youtsey's confession is a
lie. 1t still remains true and un-
denied that Taylor, Powers and
Finley with a crowd of their partisan
friends were locked 10 the building
from which the shot was fired; that
the officers were kept out until the
murderer could be allowed to escape;
that the shot was fred from Powers
window; that the fugitives were
supplied with pardons bearing Tay-
lor's signature and issued before the
deed was done. These facts are
known to everybody, yet all interest
in the punishment of the guilty has
subsidized. How many Of those who
read this article know that the cases
are being tried now? If convictions
of crimes can be secured only when
public Indignation is aroused, why
not insist upon putting a limit upon
the law S delay?

1t is the Irish soldier that has won

A NATIONAL AIR.

Professor George Eduard, Of the
Northwestern University, says SER
iously 10 a public lecture that ga Hot
Time 10 Old Town" is bound to
become the national air Of the
United States. He stoutly maintains
that both the music and the words
are in perfect harmony with Yankee
character. He adds:
1.-THE charge up San Juan hill was
made to It's music, and the band
played it when the United States
soldiers entered Peking, and today
they are singing it in the Philip
pines"
The experience Of the United
States has been singular and some
what unsatisfactory in the matter of
national airs. "Tbe Star Spangled
Banner" has never been popular, The
style Of verse is archaic and the music
by no means spirited America is
a noble hymn but the music was
stolen from the mother country.
Yankee Doodle is infantile 1t is
worse; IL is sectional and by no means
original. Dixie is a negro song in
words, spirit, music and movement.
1t has been tremendously popular
with a generation which knew the
negro as a slave and loved him as a
brother. But a generation is com
ing on In which there will be no such
sympathy. We have been drifting ia
the matter of patriotic music. Car
it be that the divinity which shapes
our ends will lead US to nothing
higher than "a Hot Time in Ok
TOWN."

THE IRISH LAND BILL.

The recent land bill is a tardy and
only partial justice to Ireland. BY
the provisions of this bill the great
estates Of the Emeral Isle will be sold
under a sort Of condemnation pro
ceedingS to the Irish people, the
purchase money being furnished by
the English government at 81 per
cent interest. Five sixths OF the land
Of Ireland belongs to less than two
hundred Englisbmeu. The laws rela.
ting to rent have long been infamous
The purchase Of the land has been
impossible. Only the refusal of the
tenants to pay rent and the advantage
taken Of England's necessity during
the Boer war has wrested from that
country this tardy concession.
There has been nothing in the
history Of the world like the oppres.
sion Of Ireland. In all other coun.
tries serfdom and slavery have been
abolished when the serrs and slave,
have been ready for emancipation
Besides in modern times with thi,
single exception only inferior races
have been enSlaYed But the Irish /,

APESSINTSTIc RABBI.

Rabbi Mayer takes the legislative
scandals as a text to indulge in some
pessimistic reflections as to the sue
cess Of the experiment of universal
suffrage. He quotes the comparison Of
Ezekiel about the pot which had be-
come so rusted and corrupted that it
could not be remedied by merely
scraping but had to be thrown back
into the furnace and recast. The
conclusion is that the worst evils
that afiict u government, bribery
and corruption, are only to be cured
by recasting u fundamental
theories.
1t does not seem at all clear, how
ever, that these evils are worse where
universal suffrage prevails than in
despotisms Of limited suffrage
moDaIchies. Perhaps an exception is
to be made IN the case Of city govern
ment. City government is either act
ually worse or APPEARS to be worse in this
country than in Europe. But then the
case is different. Ours are growing
cities and the interests in the bands Of
city legislative and executive officers
are tremendous. Young men can re-
member when Chicago was little
more than a village and younger ones
still, when it was a heap of ashes.
Since that recent day the value of
the municipal Improvements made
and franchises granted-the total
value Of the interests committed to
the city offices-has been greater
than the assessed valuation of
the thirteen colonies at the time
Of the Revolution In all coun-
tries and in all ages where
extraordinary enterprises are invOl-
we'd and extraordinary expenses
incurred there is to be found cor.
ruption in all its forms. There was
never a war without a scandal in the
commissary department, never a
provincial government or a great
enterprise like the Panama canal that
did not bring to the surface the pre-.
daltory instinct 10 men.
Municipal corruption in this coun.
try while it is not defensible, is moi
surprising. 1t follows historic pre-.
cedant. The Doodle cases in St.
Louis are far less shocking than those
in Jefferson City. 10 St. Louis, tt
use slang a phrasS Of the times, the
people got what was coming to them
They neglected their civic dutie,
and tamely and knowingly permitted
the election Of heelers and buns Il
the city council. For the boodlers OF
the legislature there is less excuse,
and the arm of the law should visit
upon them a more relentless vengence.
Legislative corruption was every
where prevalent in this country at
the close Of the wal between the
states, but not so prevalent or so out
rageouS as 10 England in the time of
Walpole. Universal suffrage may be
admitted to be on trial still, but
Rabbi Mayer will have to 20 over the
evidence more extensively before
he can be said to have made out his
case.
