a platform Roosevelt's popularity is
a good thing to conjure with and 1t is
hoped with this to cover multitude
Of sins and sinners. One or two
"Roxers'' were inveigled into attend
ing the meeting last night, but more
than nne-tenths of those present were
.Repudiators" who spurn that plank
in the last state platform declaring for
a railway commission. Not quite so
early in 1902 a similar republican club
was organized in Walla Walla and
when the primaries were called the
privilege Of voting was limited to
members of this club. AS the result
of such high-handed discrimination
two years ago fully five hundred re-
publicans' in the county bolted the leg
islative ticket and Senator Ankeny
came within a hairsbreadth Of losing
his home delegation. The same tao
tics will probably be repeated this
year and the outcome will be still more
disastrous to the republican ticket
1t is said that the early bird catches
the worm, but in this case it will be
found that the Levites have captured
a tarantula.

The only Mcbride republicans whose
names appear on the roll of the So
called republican club formed at the
court house last night are H. II. Tur-
ner and ]. f. Myers. Mr.. Turner was
not present and it can be stated that
he is not in sympathy with the star
chamber methods followed in effecting
the organization. The Statesman is
not informed as to whether or not
Superintendent Myers attended, but if
he did he is no doubt ashamed of it.
There are certain preliminares that
fair play and decency require to be
observed in calling a meeting for the
organization of a political club, and as
all of these were ignored, many good
republicans declare that they will have
nothing to do with such a still born
OrganiZa ton.

A REVOLUTIONARY THEORY.

The expert farmers and agricul-
tural scientists of the country have
been greatly interested in some recent
investigation of the department of ag-
riculture into the question of the chem
istry of the soil as related to crop pro-
duction. The results of these inves-
LEGATIONS have been revolutionary In
the extreme SO much so, that there
is a general tendency to refuse to ac-
cept the conclusions arrived at by the
investiga tors, Milton Whitney, chief
of the bureau of soils, and r. K. Cam
eron, an assistant in the bureau. Bulle-
tin No. % contains an account of the
experiments and the process by which
the conclusions were arrived at. In
his annual report, Secretary of Agrl-
culture Wilson thus summarizes the
conclusions:
That nearly all soils are amply sup
piled with the necessary mineral plant
food and that these plant foods are
not in themselves a matter of para
mount Importance to the agriculturlst,
for their supply, as regards the plant,
is determined by the supply of soil
moisture which the plant can obtain
from the soil; that the chemical analy-
sis of a soil can not in itself, there
fore, throw much light upon the prob
lem of fertility, but when the farmer
attempts to control the factors govern
ing crop yields, his attention must be
no 0cl,o mic
of the soils as affecting the supply of
soil moisture, with it's dissolved miner
al nutrient, to the effects of climate,
to rotation and to general soil man
agement."
This, it will be seen. is in conflict
with the prevailing ideas regarding
the use of fertilizers, which are based
on the theory that plants regularly
extract certain elements from the soil
and that, to keep up production or
increase it, these elements must be
replaced The investigators even say
in SO many words that the supply of
plant food in practically all soils will
be indefinitely maintained.
According to this, the farmer need
not concern himself with replacing
what the plants take from the soil,
but only with agencies that will make
it easier for the plants to extract the
food that is in all soils in practically
inexhaustible conditions. Successful
agriculture becomes, therefore, more
a question of the physical condition of
the soil than of it's chemical compost
ton.
No wonder the experts who have
been preaching the doctrine of fer
tilization are dsmayed. Still. it does
not follow that the use of fertilizers
is time and money thrown away. The
fertilizing materials, if the new theo-
ry is right, must serve to put the soil
in favorable physical condition, for
it is indisputable that the use Of fer
tilizers is rewarded with increased
crops.

LEVITES HAVE A SLATE.

1t is said that the republican county
ticket is already decided upon so far
as the Levites are concerned and it is
likely that the club organization last
night is intended merely as an instru-
ment for executing cut and dried
plans Senator Cornwell desires re-
election and Grant Copeland is slated
to succeed Senator Reser on the east
side of the county. A. F. KEGS will
try another Whirl at a seat in the lower
house, which will not interfere with
his retention as deputy sheriff. Dor
sey Hill has again been promised the
nomination for county clerk, and he
may get it if the eXigencieS of the sit
uation when the convention meets do
not require that he be traded off once
more F. M. Pauly and Duncan Nc
Gilavray are spoken of for county
treasurer, but just which will be given
the prize is not yet fully determined.
A WaitSburg man will probably be
named for county auditor. Bergman,
of course, will be renOminated for as
SCISSOR ana Lester wilson can nave a
denomination for county attorney if
he wants it, but he is said to have his
heart set on the seat now held by
Judge Brents. ]. j. Huffman will be
renominated for justice of the peace.
The nomination for constable has not
yet been fully decided upon, and this
place will probably be reserved as
trading stock when the convention

THE SAME OLD TACTICS.

Frightened almost out Of their
wits by the false report that
Governor Mcbride would soon
visit Walla Walla and organize
his supporters in this county,
a semi-secret meeting was held at the
court house last night by few Levites
for the purpose of organizing a repub-
lican club that under the pretense of
laboring for the nomination and cleo
ton of Roosevelt next June will in
fact devote its energies to sending a
delegation to the next republican state
convention to oppose the denomination
of Mcbride and serve the railway lob
by in selecting the ticket and adopting

Attorney f. c. Robertson Of Spokane
announces that he is not a candidate
for the democratic gubernatorial NOM
ination. He advocates the nomina ton
of ex-senator Turner for vice presi
dent by the democratic national con-
vention and suggests that German and
Turner would make a strong combina-
ton. If it We're not for geographical
objections he would favor the nomi-
nation of Turner for president. The
Withdrawal of Robinson leaves Senator
Tolman and eX-Mayor Byrne as Spo-
kane aspirants for governor on the
democratic side. Byrne is opposed to
a railway commission and that shuts
him out of consideration right at the
start. Tolman is the logical candidate,
If Turner cannot be prevailed upon to
accept and there is no chance Of that
unless Mcbride should be turned
down by the republicans. If Mcbride
is repudiated by his party. the nomi-
nation of Turner would be equivalent
to his election.

strange Fate Of an English Earl.

II came across bit Of treasure the
other day." writes a Washington au-
thor who is down on Cape Cod. ''It
is the log book of the schooner Hera,
which sailed from Boston; on a day
in the seventies. SIZE sailed with a
new first mate, on board.
HE seemed an ambitious man, and
he understood navigation. The cap
tain suspected him of desire to be
master of vessel himself some day,
but there was little about him to sug-
gest that he was anything but sailor.
The third day out he was caught by
the down haul of the mizzen and went
overheard. His body was never recov-
cred. When the Hera came back from
her voyage she was met by two Eng
lishmen. They had crossed the wa
ter posthaste to find that first mate.
Somebody had died in England, and
we'll, the man who was lost off that
Yankee schooner was the Earl of
Aberdeen" -Washington Post.

Cause of ,Ockiaw

Lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused by a
bacillus or germ which exists plenti-
fully in street dirt. It is inactive so
long as exposed to the air, but when
carried beneath the skin, as in the
wounds caused by percussion caps or
by rusty nails, and when the air is ex-
cluded the germ is reused to activity
and produces the most virulent poi
son known. These germs may be de-
stroyed and all danger of lockjaw
avoided by applying Chamberlain s
Pain Balm freely as soon as the injury
is received. Pain Balm is an anti
septic and causes such injuries to heal
without maturation and in one-third
the time required by the usual treat
ment. 1t is for sale by Princeton
