The Case OF Senator Dietrich.

1t is merely necessary these days to
charge a public man with crime in or
der to have majority of people de-
clare him guilty of anything attributed
to him. Because the United States
district attorney of Nebraska had Sen
ator Dietrich indicted, it was at once
assumed that the senator had been
guilty of accepting a bride, and this
conclusion of the public was not shak
en- when the case. was thrown ont of
court.
But the accused senator, after the
action of the court. asked for am in
vestigation of the case by the senate.
President Frye named a committee of
exceptional fairness and high charac-
ter This committee comprised Sena-
tors Hoar, Spooner and Plat of Con-
necticut, republicans, and Cockreu AMI
Pettus, democrats. The personnel of
this committee placed it absolutely
above suspicion. Neither partisan con-
siderations nor influence of any kind
could DE thought of as coloring the de-
cision of Hoar, Platt. Spooner, Cock
rell or Pettus in a question of this
kind. Accordingly. the unanimous
verdict of acquittal rendered by these
senators should go for something in re-
establishing the reputation of Senator
Dietrich. And their decision is that
the Nebraska senator was not guilty
of any violation of the statutes of the
United States, or of any corrupt or un-
worthy conduct And it is a cir.
cumstance worth considering that rhe
district attorney who had the senator
indicted has been removed from Office
And, wheE all the facts in the case
of Senator Burton have been made
public there viii likely be Il complete
vindioaticn of the Kansas senator. That
a United States senator should become
a criminal seems absurd on the face of
the proposition, and partisan malice
and the clamor of the tickle public are
poor substitutes for law and justice.

There is still another reason for the

the public. Every time an unreformed
inmate is discharged from that place
ne goes into the world a menace to
public order, life and property. For
these reasons Superintendent O'Brien
occupies a much more weighty and
responsible position than does Super
intendent Griffith.
The law intends that all territorial

unless relieved by leave of absence
from the governor. We cannot be-
Iieve that Governor Brodie has been

PRATT JURY HANGING
At Least There Was no Sign Of YER
dict Last Night.

The Indications are that the United
States jury in the case of A. A. Pratt
charged with embeZzlement while act
ing postmaster at Wickenburg little
more than a year ago, will not agree.
Unless a sealed verdict should be
handed in this morning the jury will
spend Sunday in the custody of the
United States marshal
The testimony of the government
had all been put in on Friday night.
There were introduced yesterday
morning some character witnesses on
the part of the defense and then the
defendant took the stand. He made a
most excellent witness and stood an
hours rigid cross-examination. He
testified that except for a short time
he had spent hardly over five minutes
day in the postoffice. but he had all
of its details at his finger tips. He
seemed to have forgotten nothing in
the lapse of nearly year since he
severed his connection with the Office
and the year has been peculiarly ex-
citing one for him. Whether he bene-
flied himself or not by his testimony
he certainly did himself no injury.
Concerning the discrepancies which
existed in that office the defendant
dwelt upon the fact that they had al
ways existed. before his connection
with it and after. Regarding the two
money orders which he had issued for
800 each and for which the postofiice
had received only 81 each. Pratt at
tributed that to an error of the head
and not one Of the heart. He brought
out that a year before that precise
~ similar mistake had occurred and it
was not discovered until some time
after he had entered the office. In that
case the government had been reim-
bursed a 5 it had been in his case.
Concerning the testimony of Pratt
Mr.. Campbell for the government said
that the very familiarity which he had
shown with the affairs of the office
was against the proba bility that such
mistakes could occur under his man
agement. He said also that It was
evident that the fact that year had
passed between the time CT the making
Of the first mistake and the discovery
of it had suggested to Pratt that per-
haps another year would elapse be-
tween the time of his making a similar
mistake and the discovery of it.
He believed that it was then that it
was put into the head of Pratt to go
into the business of specializing in
money orders. Regarding the first mis-
take, the government attorneys took
the ground that that was something

What Shall be Done With the I'M
migrant?

Despite all efforts in the line of re-
strictive legislation, the tide of immi
grafton rises higher and higher. In a
single day last week nine ships brought
into the single port of New York the
enormous number of 5000 steerage pas
sengers. What to do with the immi
grant is becoming a serious problem.
All questions of fitness for citizenship
endless tide of immigration is the dis
position of nearly all foreigners to re-
main in the cities. They manifest no
inclination to take up agriculture, as u
rule, and they are steadily increasing
the congested condition of the large
centers of population. Americans are
losing control of their cities. The for
eigners, under the leadership of native
or foreign bosses-one as frequently as
the other-are a menace to good gov
eminent, as they have little conception
of the meaning of liberty and self
government When disturbances and
riots occur foreigners are Invariably
the leaders in the law breaking. The
testimony taken before Special Exam
liner Van Deusen Of the state depart
ment in his investigation of naturali-
zation frauds shows that the immi-
grant, especially from southern Europe,
becomes an easy prey to the fraudu-
lent naturalizer, and that the charm Of
politics is one of the strongest that in
duces. him to remain in the cities.
Some of the statesmen at Washing
ton seem to think that something can
be done toward diverting at least a
portion of the constant volume of i'm
migration to the south and west.
In considering the problem of immi-
grafton the senate committee having
the matter In charge has determined on
recommending the establishment of
bureau at Ellis Island, setting out the
great advantages of the west and the
south offer to the immigrant The
chief difficulty with the phenomenal
high tide of immigrants has been the
fact that they are readily, but without
good reason, induced to settle in the
cities and engage in peddling or in
digging trenches or subways. while the
west or south. which need immigrants,
remain a sealed book to the great ma
jority. Numbers of the immigrants
were farmers in their old communities.
and, if properly advised as to the need
of farmhands in the west or the oppor-
tunities for labor in the rice and cot
ton and sugar fields in the south, could
be induced to seek the farming dis
tricts to their greater profit.
In the country districts, where poll
tics has not so completely been reduced
to an art or a science, there would be
fewer temptations because of politics,
and better incentives from the great
er probability of obtaining work at
good wages and with more comfort
able and elevating surroundings.
1t would be better for the country
and much better for the immigrant if
he could be induced to turn his steps
westward or southwark. Churches

The story set ahoat from Paris and
elsewhere that the Japs are using sub
marine boats and that the battleship
Petropavlovsk was destroyed by a tor
pedo from one of these modern ter
rors, is probably just a yarn invented
by the japanese to throw an additional
scare into the Russians. But under
the circumstances to resort to such
tactics is extreme cruelty and in vio-

THE CORN CROP: HOW WE MAY HANDLE 1T
WITH SMALLER COST AND BETTER RE-
TURNS

The corn crop is one of the most important,
in influence and value, in the middle South. Its
culture and handling are of such great import
ance that they deserve the first consideration from
the hands of our farmers. Corn be most
proftably raised where clover, cowpeas and farm
machinery have been part of the system of corn
production. Crimson clover and common red
clover are ideal crops to precede the corn crop.
The corn needs good depth of soil tilth to
get the best home for the comfortable living and
growing of the roots. In culture, then, the
two-horse plow is winning it's way so as to deepen
the soil to eight ten twelve inches, thus re-
leasing the lockedup plant food in the soil, and to
take care of the moisture down in the sub-soil as
t comes up, and also to take of that which
alls in the atmosphere rain. A short rotation
Involving cowpeas and clover, followed by corn,
Twill not require much of the chemical fertilizers
DOING AWAY WITH HAND WORK.
If the corn is planted a level surface, har-
row or a weeder should be used to preserve
the moisture in the soil, and to destroy the little
weeds and grass that first germinate. When
the corn is up an inch so the implement
can be used again, thus doing way with hand
labor At the college farm a two-horse
corn planter that distributes the fertilizer and
plants two rows of corn at time. Then use
a harrow a light one, to go a couple of
times so as to make thorough mulch and to
destroy the weeds and grass that up We
plant the rows four feet apart and average one
stalk to every twelve or sixteen feet.
The cultivator is used then during the remain
der of the season four or five times, and in many
fields no hand work is done at all. We never
thin the corn or sucker it. All the cultivation is
of level and shallow nature. Corn should not
be cultivated more than inch and half or
two inches deep, and never more than three
inches in depth, because if deeper cultivation is
given, some of the roots are bound to be in
iured and thus the corn crop will be cut off and
lessened in the end.
The early planted corn is always seeded to cow
peas with the last cultivation. The later planted
corn and that especially planted for ensilage, is
not seeded to cowpeas, but left for crimson clover
Immediately after the cutting of the corn. For
crimson clover we do not plow second time, but
simply take disk harrow, or spring tooth har-
row, and provide good seed bed, and. seed to
clover which is lightly narrowed in. We use about
ten pounds of seed per for the clover.
DON'T PULL FODDER.
The age of pulling fodder has past. 1t has
been proved conclusively that it is not only ex-

pensive to do so, but at the same time it is
wasteful practice. There is much feeding
value stored away in the butts and stalks of the
plant that farmer afford to waste
this, and especially is it important where hay is
purchased. 1t has been found by experience here
and in other States that the plant shredded
will give a feeding stuff almost equal to timothy
hay for horses and cattle Why should we, there
fore, waste half of the corn plant by leaving the
stalks and butts in the field to be burned other
wise wasted when we could utilize all of that ma
terial for feeding and then return the same to
the land in the form of stable manure?
In preparing the plant for shredding
use the following method A "gallus-hill" or stool
is made from the corn itself. A sufficient number
of stalks of corn are pulled from two
and tied together to the height of ones waist or
shoulder. The tie is made by simply bending the
stalks over and tapping the tops and leaves
around the stalks, thus making it thoroughly
secure and staple The same end is attained as
if we were to drive four stakes in the ground in
the form of square four feet apart The top
of the stalks readily bend over and the top and
the leaves can be Tapped and entwined within the
stalks so as to make it thoroughly secure and
able to hold the rest of the that is to be
set upon the stool thus made.
HARVESTING THE CROP.
We make from twenty-five to twenty-five of
these stools for each acre. Then the is CUT
with a knife or some other implement that can be
used in cutting, three four inches above the
top of the ground and then carried to the stool
and set up. If an arm load is set each of
the four sides of the stool and then tied together
with string of the green stalks
it will be quite impossible to upset the same by
wind or force A dozen more of armfuls
then set around each side of the shock, making
it round. When this is done the top of the shock
should be drawn together by rome and ring, and
closely drawn together, after which the whole
shock is tied by binders twine, or some other
form of twine, or even by the green stalks. The
shock is set up in armfuls, and the bottom is
much larger than the top, there is a constant
current of air coming up from all directions
and circulating throughout the shock, thus insur-
ing perfect curing of the same. One make
from sixty to one hundred shocks per day through
this system of cutting It means from three to
four acres that one man set up.
Our plan now is to leave the corn in these
shocks until it is convenient for shredding and
storing. We go on now about our other fall work,
sowing clover, putting in rye and wheat, harvest
ing our fall crops and doing all kinds of work
about the farm necessary to be done during the
fall months. We have left the corn in the
shock until late in January, and found it kept
perfectly. There is also an advantage in leaving
the corn in the shocks until after it is frozen for
it insures all the cells, making up the plant
to be dead and dried out, SO that when the corn
