TIE SEED SUPPLY.

The house committee on agriculture
in Washington has recommended, by
close vote. the adjustment OF the
practice of distributing seeds free, and
the matter will now be thrashed out
in the house. 1t will be of interest TO
watch this supreme test of the tie that
cements many a congressman and
some of his rural constituents togeth-
er. AS matter of fact the free distri-
button of seeds has outlived It's orig
inal purpose and usefulness, and prob
ably not half a dozen congressman In
the whole house have any idea what
they are sending to the farmers. And
the farmers themselves have long
since ceased to rely upon this govern
mental gratuity for any real benefit.
The custom is only a survival of an
antiouated practice that is a needless
EXPENSE Ito the government and Of no
material good to the farmers. The
appropriation for free seeds could be
used to (better advantage in other di-
rections} and thus bring some real ben,
eft to agriculture.
The distribution Of free seeds dates
Ottumwa tri-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1903-1916, 1906-03-15

from the formation of the department
Of agriculture in 1862 The act under
which it was authorized specified that
the department was ito acquire and
diffuse among the people of the United
States useful information on subjects
connected with agriculture in the most
general and comprehensive sense Of
the word, and to procure, propagate
and distribute among the people new
and valuable seeds and plants" Orig
inally the authorization of free seed
distribution came under an act provid-
ing for the diffusion of valuable
seeds, bulbs, mulberry and other rare
and valuable trees and shrubs, vines,
cuttings and plants"
The department of agriculture dur
ing it's existence has developed beyond
all expectations of it's sponsors. 1t has
established experiment stations in
nearly every part of the country and
specialized study has accomplished re-
markable things for the agriculturist.
These stations do not include the
state experiment stations. which are
now so common that, as matter of
fact, there are few rural communities

some state or national station where
the best advice and instruction on the

ment are no longer rare and valua-

could be saved by cutting off this an
cient custom really new and valua.

HEARST LOOMING UP.

Des Moines Register and Leader
There seems to be no question any
where Of Mr.. Hearsts intentions. He
captured the congressional campaign
committee of the national democracy,
and he is planning to run for governor
of New York this fall He does not
especially care for Mr.. Bryan, and
Mr.. Bryan has never cordially In
dorsed Mr.. Hearst.
It Mr.. Hearst is elected governor
and there is every reason to believe
that he could not have chosen a more
favorable time to launch u candidacy,
how can he be- prevented from becom-
ing the democratic candidate for the
presidency? Mr.. Bryan has had two
opportunities, and to an extent Is
shop-worn. Mr.. Bryan has no such
organization behind him, and cannot
secure one. Mr.. Bryan's radicalism is
not along the same lines and does not
appeal to the same concentrated -.
er in the great centers 1t 5W!ll be re-
markable If Mr.. Bryan's personal
popularity is enough to oyershadow
has the Hearst backing.
The republicans in New York are
badly demoralized. Governor Odell
refuses to relinquish his hold on the
state machine and the President and
his friends are determined that Odell
shall be eliminated. The President is
not credited with wholly disinterested
motives, as it is charged that he is
planning to succeed Senator Plat In
the United States senate, which only
serves to make the feud more bitter
Governor Higgins, while an excellent
gentleman, does not seem to be cast
In q heroic mold and is not coming
up to the demands Of the situation
Not even the prospect of Hearst
victory seems sufficient to bring order
out of chaos.
Hearst has recently led host Of his
| reformers to the legislature to demand
certain changes which the Legislature
| will not make. He is organizing clubs
| in all parts Of the state. He does moi
announce that he will run as demo-
crat. He may act as an independent
as he did in the mayoralty contest
But his victory will be a democratic
victory, and will be the stepping stone
for what he wants in 1908. 1t Is no,
too early to begin to recognize thai
the country is likely to be confronted
In 1903 with a. campaign that will up
| set all previous political precedents
and that will give an entirely new
face to American political agitation.

of the act, that our government was
ever so blind to its own interests as ia
permit them or SO dull as not to un-
derstand what their inevitable effort
would be. So some Of the new ruler
and regulations promulgated, or about
to be, by Secretary Metcalf, seem ac-
tually superfluous
Under them, for instance. provision
Is made for notification Of Chinese
persons to whom admission has been
denied at the ports Of entry Of their
right to appeal to the secretary, such
notice being in the Chinese tongue,
and the further precaution bein,5
taken to notify the Chinese consul Of
the adverse action OF the officers, so
that he may have the opportunity. to
employ counsel or otherwise interest
himself in behalf of his countrymen.
Just why all this was never done be-
fore is a good deal Of puzzle; the
Of course, but common decency and
fairness ought to have made such an
obligation plain. Any New York man
apprehended for doing business with
cut a license expects to have the law
explained to him by the arresting off,

Is no part of an officers specific duty.
But our immigration officials ap2ar-
emily had no such conception 81 their!
tasks
Again, the new rules direct admin
istrative officers to advise Chinese
persons. on their departure from this
country, of the exact conditions upon
which they will be admitted here on
their return to the United States; IN
this way, no Chinaman who has a
right to reside in this country will be
allowed to depart under mistaken
impression that he will certainly be-
readmitted. Much complaint OF in
justice had arisen from the lack Old
any such precautions. But why
shouldn't they have suggested Them
selves years ago?
President Roosevelt was clearly right
when he said that the trouble was not
with the law-it was mal-administra-
ton. We may be locking the stabla
door after the horse is stolen, but we
are at least trying to correct our
stupid plumbers that have SO incensedt
the Celestials.
