THE CATHOLIC CENTER PARTY

The action of the last convention of
the Catholic Federation in adopting
resolution demanding division of the
public school fund, followed by similar
resolutions passed by the Catholic
Central Verein of Illinois and the Ger
man Central yerein of Wisconsin less
than month ago, has aroused discuss
sion of contemplated political
movement on the part of the church
with which the organizations referred
to are affiliated. The program of the
Vereins is to establish Catholic
Center party iii the United States after
! the German model and set on foot a
|, movement for school fund division.
German Catholic church papers, no.
tably the st. Louis Review are urg-
ing the need OF Catholic party. The
movement, such as it is. is well inside
the German wing Of the church and
its bay supporters of the German-Am-
orleans who read no American peri
odicais. 1t is notable that it's oppo-
gition inside the church comes from
the Irish American laity and priest
hood. sysIa
ct Is pity that the Vereins should
by such iii advised action revive old
fedrs and awaken old prejudices. A
denomnationel church party in poll
tics would be met Undetermined oppo-
sition by all Americans. There Is no
room inAmerican politics for Catholics
as Catholics. or Methodists as Metho-
dists and an assault upon the public
school by any denomination or any
church will be~bitterly resented and
fiercely repelled by all American citi-
zens. Any attempt to make creeds
part of state politics is certain to fail

Potato ereedina and Formulation.

Potato breeding, the raising OF po-
tatoes from the seed produced by cross
fertilization, is practiced but very little,
and that chiefly in the northern states.
This is done to develop new varieties of
potatoes. Whenever a plant is grown
from seed it will have in 1t mingled to-
gether the characteristics of it's ances-
tors. Thus it is possible by cross fer
tilization to add new and desirable
characteristics, to improve the plant by
breeding. When a potato seed Is plant
ed it is liable to produce great va
riety of tubers. BY planting one of
these and then selecting tubers from it's
crop us nearly like the original as pos
sible, in few years the type becomes
fixed and new variety of potatoes has
been produced. BY this method 1t is
possible to have developed from the
same original seed several varieties of
potatoes. In Missouri, as in all CEN
trail states, the practice is TO raise po-
tatoes not from seed but from cuttings
of the tubers, which is similar to pro-
pagating trees or shrubs from cuttings.
BY doing this we have no new charac-
teristics added and as result the
tubers are soon run out. They lose.
some of their vitality. In the northern
states, where potatoes are bred, the
climatic conditions are such that the
tubers do not run out as fast as they
do here. Since the tubers soon run out
here something has to be done to keep
UP the yield. This is done by planting
tubers grown in the north. Bringing
them to a warmer climate does not
disagree with them, so we are enabled
to raise several crops of good yield. II
tubers grown in the Missouri are con-
tinually planted they show their loss
of vitality by Il decreasing percentage
of large tubers. The length of time re-
auired for seed brought from the north
to run out varies considerably accord
ing to the amount of care and skill ex-
ercised in selecting tubers to plant. II
proper care is taken in selecting the

Iowa Crows Alfalfa.

That Iowa can grow alfalfa success
fully has been amply demonstrated by
w. II. DIN, of the Iowa Experiment
Station at Ames.
Prof. Olin has forwarded to the Live
stock World office sample Of the first
cutting of a crop OF alfalfa from fall
seeding of 1903. 1t yielded two tons per
acre.
The seeding was done on Aug. q.
1903, and the first cutting made June
is. 1904.
This shows that Iowa can raise al
falfa abundantly under the proper con-
ditions of cultivation.

IT KICKED BACK.

washington Qowa) Press.l
The charges which were preferred
against President MacLean have
proved to be something of boom
erang and have kicked back with
dull thud on a few of the members of
the faculty and men of state reputa-
ton. To an outsider it looked, from
the dust that was made, like there
must be something wrong with the
management of the institution but
the committee on investigation failed
to draw any substantial testimony
from those who had been most active
in denouncing the president. Carroll
Wright. who is a member of the board
of regents, administered sensible re-
buke when he said that if those who
had instigated this move would exert
one-half the energy toward building up
the school that they had in fighting the
president the university would have
$500 students in a very few years
This jealousy among the other MEM
bers of the faculty deserves the hui
initiation which they have suffered by
having their heads tumbled into the
basket. Two have already met their
fate and others have been upon the
carpet and the board seems determined
to make a "cleanin'."
ONTARIO MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
dubuque Times.1
There are seventy-nine municipali-
ties in Ontario which own their own
water works, thirty-five which have
their own electric lighting plants, four
which supply electricity, two gas two
have municipal cemeteries, one pos
sesses dock and one operates it's
own railway These figures are sup
piled by our consul general at Halifax,
All told eleven cities, fifty-seNen
towns and twenty-one villages have
been carrying on reproductive under
takings, and a number of others are
trio lighting plants. The consul says
that profits are shown in forty-four
cases and losses in forty eight. In one
case there was no profit or loss. The
conclusion that municipal ownership
has failed is not warranted, because
no reports are supplied from twenty
three cities and towns nor is there any
evidence that in cases where losses
are shown the plants We're not cper-
ated under private ownership at loss

under municipal ownership. The mu--
