America will not tolerate present con-

be the chief difficulty in the way aof
peace he will be advised to retire. 1t
would be a great blow to the aged pa
triot, who practically created free Gu
ba, but other men have done as much
for their country and Palma may rise
to the height of self effacement if it is
necessary. If, however, the difficulty
is with the last congressional election,
some way can be found to investigate
it and to annul it and order new one
under such safeguards as will insure a
free vote and an honest count.
With the shadow of American inter
vention over them the Cubans will not
make mountains out of molehills. They
will come together. --.

Taft in Cuba.

Now that Secretary Taft is in Ha-
vana and comforting with both sides,
we shall learn something more definite
about the causes Of complaint on the
rart of the revolutionists. Down to
date we have learned nothing in partic-
ular except that the liberals believe the
last congressional elections were tainted
with fraud. This may not be cause for
getting up revolution. The burden of
proof would be on the revolutionists to
show that their grievances were worth
a revolution and that they could be
satisfied in no other way.
It does not appear that the revolu-
tionists have tried any other. method.
They have appealed neither to the
courts nor have they demanded a spe-
cial tribunal to test the fairness Of the
last balloting. They took up arms af
ter having borne in silence for some
months their electoral rout. ss.
We should make a mistake, however
in supposing that an election will be
treated as calmly in Cuba as it would
in America. We had an election fol-
president once that was honeycombe6
with fraud. It was thrown into com
mission to decide, and while there was
talk of marching on Washington with
100000 men, nobody marched. W.
could not afford to upset the republic
even for president. But tropica
countries do not always do things

tells Of it as the record Of one side Of

his material and how it was gathered,
his case is certainly one for the psychol-

It will also grip the attention of the gen

OF life for the unclothed, hairy inhabi-

Mr.. London says that from earliest
childhood his nights were haunted by
strange dreams Of world such as he
had never seen. Tho city lad, knowing
almost nothing Of the country, his nights
were filled with visions of limitless for
ests; peopled with wild animals such as
he knew nothing Of in his waking state
The trees he saw were not like any he
had ever seen. AS years went on and he
made the acquaintance Of various trees
| he recognized them as trees he had seer
In his dreams. The first blueberries
ever set before him were recognized as
like berries he had picked in his dreams
and the taste, he says, was no surprise
to him. He knew what it would be
Later he went to circus, and there was
thrown into veritable panic by the
sight Of beasts that had terrified him IL

Churchill's Moral Victory.

The remarkable campaign fought by
Winston Churchill for, the governorship
of New Hampshire ended in defeat for
the candidate and triump phi for the prin-
ciples he advocated. It also ended in
partial defeat for the machine headed
by United States Senator Gallinger,
The machine tried in vain, thru hot
day OF balloting, to nominate it's choice.
Charles H. Greenleaf, but in the end.
to head off the novelist reformer who
was gaining steadily, was obliged to
abandon its candidate and compromise
on Charles M. Floyd, a Manchester
merchant. 1t took nine ballots to eff
fectuate the result.
The platform, too, was more signif-
cant Of. the virility Of the sentiment
created by Churchill than the voting.
The successful candidate did not during
ills campaign agitate an anti-pass law.

the abolition Of the railroad lobby, q
primary law or q revision of the assess
ments that corporations might bear
their fair share of taxes, but the plat
form adopted commits him to all of
these propositions, which were all raised
by Churchill.
AS first flyer in politics the Church
ill campaign appears to have borne
fruit, not only in the shaking of the
machine, the adoption of platform
pledging the party to reform, but, best
of all, in the discovery and develop
ment of a genuine spirit Of manliness
and Independence among the repub
hcans of New Hampshire. If the next
republican administration does not do
something substantial along the lines
of the platform adopted, it stands to
reason that the Churchill movement
will have more supporters in the next
state convention than it had in the. last.

a. BOOK ABOUT SOILS

A, BOOK ABOUT SOILS, FOR THE
FARMER AND THE sTUDENT.-In
these days of scientific farming (and it
is the scientific farmer who is the sue
cessful farmer) any book about farming
by an expert who writes in terms that
can be easily understood, is in good de-
mand, as it ought to be. A book that is
very likely to be received as belonging
to such class is Soils. by E. w. Hill
gard, Ph.D., LID, professor of agricul-
ture, in the University of California.
Professor Hilgard writes Of the forma-
ton, properties, composition and relation
to climate and plant growth of the soils
of America. ! His writing is based upon
wide and long continued studies, and is
told as to those not accustomed to the
Technology of scientific works. The
book, therefore, has a great value for the
farmer, as we'll as for the student. It is
eopiously illustrated and contains valu-
able tables and charts. 1t is such a book
as will help to meet the increasing de-
mands to be: made upon the soil of
America in meeting the requirements of
the tremendous growth in population.

State Institutions in Politics,

State institutions in Minnesota have
been kept almost entirely free from
politics in past years. Even under the
separate board system the institutions
were kept comparatively independent
OF politics and partizan matters, and
the educational institutions, especially,
have always been held aloof. Any
thing which tends to inject politics into
these questions Of administration must
be deplored. The state board of con-
troll was conceived and carried out in
a non-partizan spirit, and one section
of the law expressly prohibits the ex-,
ercise of political influence by members
or employees of the board upon each
other. 1t is a matter of public concern
when any member of the board departs
from this standard. The resolution in
troduced recently by Mr.. Leavitt
clearly indicated state of affairs con-
trary to the spirit Of the law, and if
the situation exists as it is outlined in
the resolution. then it was perfectly
proper to introduce it and to pass it..
When it was once introduced, the only
thing to do, apparently, was to pass it.
1t merely provided that hereafter en-
ployees of the board should not be
called upon to write political letters,
or the board stationery used for politi-
cal correspondence. also that no mem
Der should spend his time on politics
when out at the expense of the state.
This perfectly reasonable resolution
was tabled by the vote Of two mem
bers, one an appointee of Governor
johnson, and the other republican who
is said to be slated for reappointment
if the governor is reelected. The
board is therefore in the attitude of
refusing to declare it's members out of
politics. It has taken the first step
toward becoming a political machine,
which is the fate predicted for the
board by it's enemies from the start
Until recently this prediction had been
set at naught by the board s conduct
Another move in the same direction
is the nomination of professor in one
Of the normal schools for place on the
democratic state ticket. He has beer
given a leave Of absence until after
election, in order to do campaign work
He ceases during that time to be ,
teacher and becomes a politician. HI
leaves the school during the early week.
Of the school year. when his services
are most needed, and enters into par
tizan fight that is bound to- leave hin
more of a partizan and a less valuable
man for the institution. -....>.@
Both these false steps are charge
able to the democratic state organiza
ton. The republican party in Mime
| sofa is responsible for the board of con
troll, and has received nothing but cred
it from it's administration. It has ais
respected the status of the educationa
institutions and kept them free fror
r politics. The comparison presents
$ campaign issue well worth the atten
. ton of the voters.

Labor and Wages in Germany.

While we are talking about the labor
scarcity in our country, it is interest
ing to note that in the industrial dis
tricts of Germany men are at a pre-
MUM. In the Rhineland and West
phalian manufacturing towns labor has
not been so scarce for years. ~ Z,
Germany is a wonderful country. Her
industrial progress in the past decade
is a record of great achievement. She
is coming into greater prominence every
year. In some respects Germany is a
rival and competitor Of the United
States, but principally her rise in i'm
portance strikes at the industrial su-
premacy of Great Britain.
The advantages of Germany lie
largely in her people. Industrious and
intelligent and quick to take up with
the new idea and discard the old, her
manufacturers are fully abreast OF the
times and in the lead in some particu-
lars. Her technical schools and insti'
buttons for business training have filled
the offices of her merchants and manu-
facturers with young and competent
men and made her consular service OF
the best.
The contest for supremacy between
England and Germany foreshadows
coming war, in the opinion of some OBJ
servers. England is behind in many
ways, as her own writer's have admit
ted. At present there is tendency
to spur up the country to renewed
efforts, and England is likely to show
the effects in improved method ane
increased business, but Germany is al
ready as far along in some respects al
England hopes to be in year or 81
hence.
The United States may watch tn
contest between these two industrial
J giants with interest. Germany AM
England are to be our industrial '|s n
walls for the oriental and other nev
4 trade in the looming period but sharp
7 est competition will be between tn
two European countries. That Eng
land is tagging might be inferred fror
the recent reports of the large mum
Der of unemployed men in that coun
try, while in Germany labor is. In de
