any way he honorably can. Mr.. Col
by then goes on to say:
That the message of laws based on
these principles will be desperately
resisted by the railroad and public
service corporations of our state,
through the political bosses who rep
resent them, goes without saying.
The first contest will come over the
election of a speaker of the house,
who will have a power. by the APP
pointment of committees, to mater
tally assist or obstruct the passage of
these laws.
| am, therefore, strongly of the
opinion that no member of the as
sembly, who has pledged himself to
the enactment OF these principles in
to laws, or favors the same, should
vote in the republican caucus for any
candidate for speaker who will not
declare himself clearly and unequiv-
ocally in favor Of the enactment OF
such laws.

As the Second Empire State Ex-

Trainman Horton saluted. In all the
twenty years he had known the CON

with a Hello. Henry" Rockwell noted
the change and marveled.

response to Il little woman standing on
the piazza. Rockwell then had his
hands full until the express reached
Albany. and he swung out in the sta
ton.
Frank e. Perley, secretary to Gov
ernor Higgins. pressed through the
crowd. bearing in his hand a roll deco
rated with the state seal and blue rib
bons. He thrust the roll into Rock
wells hand and as the latter's eyes
opened wide with amazement said:
This makes you railroad commits
sioner. Mr.. ROCKWELL
Rockwell tried to speak, but couldn't.
The news had spread among a dozen
railroad officials, who pressed around to
congratulate him. At last he managed
to say:

When Rockwell stepped from the
train at Albany be was glad to be earn

nit himself clearly to the support of
these principles. Second, he is re-

the support Of certain influences
which | have found by experience at
Trenton are bitterly opposed to all
the equal taxation measures for
which we are fighting. Behind him
are the political bosses and the men
who speak for and represent the rail-
roads and the public utility compan-
les in matters of legislation. While
! believe Mr.. Robbins is personally
an ~ineorruptible man, I cannot think
these men would be active in his sup
port if they did not have reason to
know that his election as speaker
would help to prevent the full success
of our measures.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-1t was a
familiar scene When Vice President
Fairbanks stopped the buzz of CONVEX
sation in the senate chamber with two
strokes of the gavel. There are few
changes in the membership. Death
had taken away Senators Bate (Tenn)
and Platt Comm. There were no
changes among the senate officials
The first arrival on the floor was
Senator Sutherland (Utah).
In the senate the proceedings were
brief. but most of the spectators seem
ed to find quite as much to interest
them in observing the senators VINO
remained on the floor after adjourn
ment as they could have experienced
had the session continued longer.
While the house was in session the
presidents message vas read, and
there was enough Of interest In tina
to hold an exceptionally large audience
during the entire time.
One noticeable feature in the house
was the absence of flowers, which
! heretofore have been common to both
chambers. The absence of fora
tributes was due to a resolution adopt
ed unanimously by the senate and to an
order of the speaker in the house. This
robbed the occasion of much of its pic
turesqueness.

! leader of the minority in the house. in
troduced a number of bills II join

Seed Perplezing Farmers.

The question of seeds and how best to get
the land seeded the past few years has been
one OF great perplexity to farmer; especially
does this truth apply to clover. In this one
seed Of late wears failure is the rule and good
sci is the exception. A reason for these con
dltions lies somew here, but where is yet un-
solved. The fertile soil fails to account for
the reason is the general sentiment. Two
other reasons most generally brought for
ward are first that our land has become
selover sick,' second, seedsmen perhaps pat
seed on the market each year which has been
left unsold In the previous year markets.
therefore. too old to germinate. Progressive
farmers are looking about for something
other than clover ia which to place his
money with more confidence. The agricul'
tural department may have solved the diff
entity. incidentally it has come to the wri-
ter that this department has discovered
chemical preparation which if applied to the
soil or seed serves as an incubation whlcn
drives legume such as clover alfalfa and pod
ded.piants to take nitrogen from the air IN
stead of the soil. All farmers know that to
get nitrogen in the soil sufficiently entails
5reat expense while the air all about us is
laden with it. This discovery and the results
as stated would strike the average thoughtful
reader as fake, but II is a fact the govern
pent has been making tests in small way
