THE AFTERGLoW

When soft footed twilight creeps
From the bushes of the west,
And the first fair jewel leaps
Into radiance on nights breast;
Ere the myriad stars have made
Arabesques of rich display,
Through the brooding, silent shade
Cleans the afterglow OF day.
Mystic fingers come and paint
Marvel hues across the SKY
Which change subtly as they faint
Into all the dark, and die
Altar fires that famed at dawn,
Silver Whiteness Of the noon,
Clean anew ere day Is gone
And the dusk's first voices Groom.
So with life. When down the path
We fare on with tagging feet,
All of childhOod's aftermath,
Fragments of old songs and sweet,
Half formed memories Of days
Shape themselves and slowly rise
When we walk the Swallowed ways
Where we see the sunset skies.
Dews that gemmed the olden rose,
Hayward whispers OF the wind,
Olden suns and olden SHOWS
OF the days we left behind
Blend into wonderous view
When we face the coming night
Blend in glories we once knew
In the evening there is light.

MAKE MOVE TO CHECK BRIBERY
New York Reformers Will Try to
Get New Laws

Albany, N. Y, Dec. 23.The ex-
ecutive committee of the "associa-
tion to prevent corrupt practices at
elections" of which former Mayor
Seth Low, Of New York, is chairman,
gave out a letter which has
been sent to Governor Higgins,
suggesting legislation for the purifica-
ton of elections which the committee
regards as desirable. Attention is
called to the fact that bribery Is al
legged to be rampant at elections in
many parts of the state and it is as
serted that the explicit anti-bribery
provisions of the penal code are dis
regarded because no person has a
motive for their enforcement suffi-
to make him envOke the criminal laws
against one who may be a neighbor
and friendn.
Legislation is proposed differing
from that in force elsewhere in two
important respects:
First, by providing that any citizen
may force judicial inquiry to which
he shall be party with the right of
producing testimony and OF examining
witnesses as to the truth of state
ments and the existence of bribery;
second, by providing that where a
political party has been guilty, by Its
agents, of bribery in an eletcoin dis
trict. 1t shall lose its votes in that dis
trict."

EXPERIMENTING WITH CORN
interesting Results Obtained BY the
Nebraska Station

Experiments with corn at the Me-
Draska experiment station have just
been compiled and published as Bull
letin No. 81. Tests of number of
varieties of corn in different parts
of the state have been continued
Something over one hundred farmers
are engaged in these tests. 1t was
found that no one variety of corn is
equally well adapted to all parts of
the state. BY dividing the state into
six sections, it was shown that GER
tain varieties yielded best in certain
sections and other varieties t. other
sections. The yields obtained by
each experimenter are stated in the
bulletin.
These variety tests showed that
corn raised in central and western
Nebraska produced smaller ears than
did the same varieties raised in the
eastern part OF the state. 1t was
also the case that varieties with
medium sized ears yielded better un-
der average Nebraska conditions than
did large or small cared varieties.
Corn was planted sufficiently thick
SO that it could be thinned out to
from one TO five stalks per hill, 44x44
inches apart. On good soil with lib
eral moisture supply, three stalks per
hill gave the largest yield of grain,
although the ears were smaller than
where the planting was thinner. Ex-
periments indicate that towards the
western edge of the corn belt two
stalks per hill are better than a
larger number
The plats of corn having the thick
est stand had the largest proportion
of barren stalks On the other hand,
suckers are more abundant I'm the
thin stand of corn. These suckers
serve useful purpose In producing
ears when the stand OF corn Is thinner
than the soil and moisture can easily
support. In regions of sufficient rain
fall Il would not seem advisable to
The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1905-12-28

remove the tillers in the hope Of I'M
proving the yield.
Experiments with seed corn from
different states and from different
parts of Nebraska lead to the con-
clusion that seed corn should be
raised as near as possible to the To-
cality in which it is to be planted.
Seed corn placed in dry seed
room in the fall gave twenty per cent
better stand in the field than seed
corn from the same field that was
left in the crib over winter.

1894 33 per cent from what was
charged by private companies. The
number of passengers has increased
in eight years over 100 per cent;
the net earnings in 1903 were $780,
600 after deducting maintenance and
operation expenses.
Conditions in London
In London the average fare on the
city system is III cents; on private
lines, 2A cents. Apart from the re-
duction in the cost of living of the
working classes is the purer govern
ment which follows public ownership
and operation and the increase in the
spirit of liberty which follows the
conception of a free city and which
leads to the development of art by
democracy as it did in Athens, Rome,
Florence and Venice.
All work on municipal railways,
whether by private or public owner
ship, is performed by human agents,
and experience shows that public SER
vice can secure as high efficiency as
private employment. The publicity
which is given to the temporary dis
abilities of the water works is not
equally bestowed upon the Natural
Gas company when It's gas supply
falls upon the telephone company
when the great increase of it's sub
scribers is not accompanied by de-
crease in the price; upon the gas COM
pany when it charges nearly twice
as much as gas can be supplied for
of better quality; upon the electric
company when 1t charges three times
as much for electric light as it should
charge, or upon the traction company
when it charges double what a street
car system could be operated for by
the city.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
PAMPHLET ON THE SUBJECT Is
SUED At BUFFALO
Progress in Other Countries Told,
and Plea is Made Tor Newspaper
That Can Give Movement In
trammeIed Support

The following is the text in part of
pamphlet on municipal ownership,
which has been circulated by the Ref
erendum league of Erie county, from
its headquarters at Buffalo, N. ":
The squid when disturbed eElits an
inky fluid; the press when subsidized
distorts and sophistIcates the truth
The press of the city OF Buffalo often
refuses to publish correct information
for it's readers as to those matters
wherein the interests of the proprie-
tors of the newspapers in Buffalo are
interested. Most of the proprietors of
newspapers in Buffalo are interested
IN the preservation OF the interests
OF the international Traction company
Movement Widespread
At the Last election 80 per cent of
the votes cast on the question wheth-
er the city should own and operate
an electric lighting and power plant
were in the affirmative. The cleo
ton of Mr.. Hearst in New York as
a municipal ownership candidate, for
that he was elected is the common
belief, is not an accident Tom L.
Johnson has been elected on the mu-
nicipal ownership platform for the
third time in Cleveland, and great
votes have been cast in favor Of mu-
nicipal ownership of the street rail-
way system in Chicago.
Progress Abroad
The progress of municipal owner
ship in Great Britain, until all of the
larger cities of the United Kingdom
either have or are preparing to have
their own street railway system oper-
ated for its citizens; the great reduc-
ton in cost as shown by comparison
Of fare charged by the city's lines
with fares charged previously by pri-
vate lines; the large profits and the
greater safety for passengers pro-
vided; the more adequate seating ca
pacity; the better treatment of en-
ployes; the reduced hours of labor;
the absence of any tendency to return
to private operation; the high taxa
ton found to coincide with private
ownership; the lower rates found
where city ownership prevails; the
purer government which has result
ed and the great increase in the de-
velopment of popular rule in English
cities, are some of the reasons for
bringing the question of public own
ership of street railways into practi-
cal politics in this country. 1t has
been done in Cleveland, Chicago, Den
yer, San Francisco and Detroit.
Why not in Buffalo?
Private Ownership Evils

Private Ownership Evils

The only reason is that there is no
paper which will voice the demand
for public ownership Of street rail-
ways and its operation at cost. The
average earnings of the workingmen
and the working girl are deducted one
sixth for street car fares filched from
them so pay for interest In securities
issued by the International Traction
company to the amount OF nearly three
times the debt OF the city OF Buffalo

travention OF the provisions OF the

CHICKENS On CONCORD
KNOW THEIR BOAT AND

A rooster and two hens are the mas.
rots on the schooner Concord now at
the Soreason wharf. These chickens
travel all over the water front. II the
vessel happens to change her place OF
landing naturally there Is great excite
mcnt when the trio get back and find
their roosting place moved away. But
they do not sit stlll. Instead they get
busy and commence looking around fol
her. First the rooster will get on
some high place and take view OF
the surroundings. If he cannot locate
the Concord then he starts, accompa
MED by his two companions, on tour
OF the waterfront, which continues I'M
til the Concord is located. They be-
long to Captain Ulunahee.
Yesterday there was somewhat of a
connection on board the Concord: the
rooster and two hens were missing.
What had become of them? Somebody
fond of chicken meat was suspected
Hour after hour the chickens were

undoubtedly 1t was the crow of the old
faithful rooster and the crow was one
OF distress. The crew was called out
to listen again for the noise. Sure
enough, after while, 1t came. But no
one could tell from what direction.
They all argued about whether
1t was from the stem or stern or the
port or starboard. Each thought the
other was wrong.
Finally the sound was located The
rooster seemed to know that he was
missed and crowed louder and louder.
From way down In the hold of a French
ship nearby came the old familiar
crow, one after the other. The chick
ems had been caught by French sailors
and coOped up. There was an accuse

In the Circuit Court at George
town, on Tuesday, the attorneys
for Hon. Caleb Powers moved to
transfer the case to the U. s.
Court for the Eastern District of
Kentucky.
Judge Stout called special
term for July 10, and postponed
action upon the motion until that
time.
In the meantime, the petition,
which is a very ably drawn and
adroit paper, will be presented to
Judge A. M. J. Cochran, U. s.
District Judge, and a motion made
to have the order of transfer made.
Should Judge Cochran grant the
petition the case will come up
for trial at the next sitting of the
U. S. Court, which will be held in
London, this month.
