While the selling price of hay has
in tine past, as rule, largely deter
mined the value of corn fodder, the
time is at hand when, regardless of the
price of hay, such system of han
ding the corn crop should be adopted
as will put an end to the enormous
waste which is annually witnessed in
practically all Of the corn belt west
of the Mississippi river. A more care
full and sensible handling of the stalk
and leaves Of this important cereal
plant will mean the addition of many
acres to the farm area. Tile hitherto
wasteful methods which have prevailed
in this respect have without doubt been
due to the existence of large farms,
relatively cheap land and that system
of handling the crops which marketed
the products of the soil in the shape
of the grain itself rather than in the
more condensed form of butter, pork
and beef. However, with land values
steadily increasing and more and more
time being devoted to dairying aid
stock raising, a condition has arisen
which practically compels more thrift
and care in the handling of this most
important farm crop.

the citizens ought to pride them

distance back from the street line to

lawn in front, And in the business
sections there is too much demand
for street room to warrant any one
taking the liberty to build houses
or any parts of them on the streets.

FIRST act of the new board of trade
was to take up the water works sit
nation and see what can be done to
cope with the situation. The
board evidently appreciates the
gravity Of the situation and will
lend its hest cooperation with the
city council to remedy the matter.
The residents of the. city begin
more and more to appreciate the
importance Of better and more
ample water service. They all
know since the construction OF the
dam that there is an abundant sup
ply of water and always will be, un-
less under most exceptional condi-
tions;'and that all that is needed
1owis a system capable of the prop
er distribution. All also realize the
fact that the present system is so
crippled and weak that it is costly
in more than one way. Insurance
rates are up because of the feeble
ness of the works and most every
property is in danger all the time.
Also in this connection several sec
tions in the city have but little SER
vice. while others have a far more
limited one than they desire. IN
der the circumstances most al
ought to demand that what money
there is to spend this year be devot-
ed in the main to the water works
Little street work should be done

The Charleston Mail shoots at
very wide range, when it undertakes
to say that Hon. W. P. Hubbard IS
running for the nomination for
Congress because he was one Of the
original tax reformers. He is not
dong so on that account and the
people in this district do not regard
it that way. although if that were nm
element in the congressional quail
tications he and his friends doubtless
would not fear for him to run on
that platform, as tax reform Is
growing more popular all the time
because it is bringing about lower
and more equal taxation. The
Mail should remember that Mr..
Hubbard has a perfect right to seek
the congressional office and stands
pat on all the great national min
ciples Of the Republican party and is
recognized all over the State for his
superior ability. There are none in
the State in either political party
more able. Furthermore. because
the Charleston Mail Is somewhat
preiudiced on the tax question is no
reason it should misrepresent the
situation so far as Mr.. Hubbard il
concerned. Besides, If one wants to
take the tax reform feature Of it.

The causes of the long dispute over

Morocco. an absolute despotism, has
been in state or turmoil for

of the steady warfare which the Sui
