The Problem OF Soil Washing.

Flowing land deep, thus making
a reservoir in the soil to hold the
water, has the effect of preventing
the soil from washing. Hillsides
that are plowed shallow have no
storage capacity, consequently the
water must run off and in doing so
carries the soil along. The soil car
ried away is the best and what is
left behind is the poorest A large
amount of humus in the soil gives
more capacity for holding water.
Decaying grass roots and manure
absorb water, and it explains why
the longer land is cropped and the
older it gets the worse it washes.
In the great Mississippi valley il
often rains in such great amounts
that the soil is unable to absorb as
fast as it falls. So it runs off, carry.
ing plant food in solution and sol
with it. The soil usually at some
time Of the year is in need of mois
ture. Anything we can do to retarc
| the storm water and give the sol

The Tariff on Salt.

Every three people, on the average,
use barrel of salt year. The
total amount consumed last year
was 26,S72,7O0 barrels, which in
cluded only l,l5l,l33 barrels i'm
ported from foreign countries. The
tariff duty on salt is II cents per 100
pounds in packages and s cents per
100 pounds il imported in bulk.
This amounts to 33.32 per cent duty
on salt in packages and S3.l6 per
cent duty in bulk, according to the
government statistics of imports for
1905 This large protective tariff
duty allows the Salt Trust to charge
about double the price salt would
sell for than it would if the duty
was abolished. So when the farmer
buys-a barrel of salt about one half
the price he pays is increased profit
to the Trust, because the Trust is
protected from competition. The
salt imported in packages cost in
the country from which it was i'm
ported, Accents per hundred pounds,
and the salt in bulk 10 cents per
hundred pounds. Salt can be made
here at about the same cost as
abroad, so the profits of the trust it
will be seen are enormous. AS the
Salt Trust is protected by the tariff
from "a to az ner cent or an ayar-
age of over 5S per cent, every family
has to pay about double for what
they use in consequence of this
special protection to the Trust. The
Salt Trust is but one of many trusts
that plumbers the American people
and yet the Republican leaders have
decided to stand pat and let the
plundering continue.

Bolting IN Iowa.

Dubuque Times: To bolt or not
to bolt is the question confronting
many republicans throughout the
state at the present time. AS might
be supposed, the members of the
congressional delegation are against
boiling the head Of the ticket. Some
of them might be defeated if such a
course we're adopted by the stand
patters. But among the latter are
many who feel no personal interest
in the success of tho congressman,
including some who resent their
interference at Des Moines to pre-
vent action by the state central COM
mittee. that would cause bolt by
the Cummins men.
Many of the standpat publishers
have already accepted seats in the
Cummins band wagon. Others are
awaiting the governors letter of ac-
ceptance, which he is now prepar
ing at Lake Okoboji. Present ap.
pearances are that very much will
depend on the governors treatment
of the tariff plank Of the state plat
form. Those who have strong con-
victions in favor of high tariff are
ready to support him with such
grace as they can command if he
accepts the platform, but they are
unwilling to help him to victory
which, in consequence of any utter
ance in his letter of acceptance or
his campaign speeches, could be
called victory for immediate re-
vision of the tariff law They have
given indications that they intend
to be loyal to the platform, even if
this involves disloyalty to the gov
ernor.
Much will depend also on the
issue of local contests. In Black
Hawk county j. w. Jarnagin of the
Cedar Falls Record is candidate
for representative. He carried the
Cedar Falls primaries, but the
Waterloo Courier demands his with
drawal on the ground that he is not
in sympathy with the Cummins
programme. This policy Of pro-
scription is very offensive to the
standpatters. If Mr.. Jarnagin loses
in the convention they are very
likely to support the democratic
candidate, and if he gets the nomi-
nation many of the progressives, it
is believed, will support the demo-
cratic candidate. But on the whole
the governors interests would be
served by the nomination of Mr..
Jarnagin.
The governors friends have theil
doubts about the loyalty of what
they call the 20 reservation and
they are pointing out that if the
southern part of the state deserts
Cummins the effect will be to reduce
its representation in the state con
vention two years hence.
One mistake til o progressives
made in their campaign was th'
embroiling of local factions in tn,
larger issue. In every county where
it was possible to do it the local fac
tions were brought in toacrimoniou
personal opposition. Ostensible tn
issue was the g,lbernatorial Office
but in reality the fight was for loca
prestige. In this countya postoflic

mrs. DOWIE VISITS
DEPOSED "ELIJAH'
Zion City Excited Over Meeting
and Voliva Gets Busy Max
ing Changes.

Journal Special service.
Chicago, April 27.-Zion City is apog
over the visit Of Mrs. Jane DoWie and
her son, Gladstone, to the husband and !
father, whom they repudiated publicly |
few weeks ago. Mrs. Dowie visited |
the dethroned Elijah in his hotel |
suite for an hour yesterday, while the
unkissed son sat in an anteroom await
ing the outcome Of the conference.
After the meeting of husband and |
wife, Attorney Emil G. Wetten said |
that arrangements for the return of |
Dowie to Shiloh house had been talked
over and that the conference was peace
full and almost joyful.
While the meeting between Mrs.
Dowie and the first APOSTLE was in
progress, the Voliva forces were tear
ing down the fagpole in front Of Shi-
lob. house, from which Dowie unfurled
his emblem upon returning from a pill
grimage. This action gave rise to the
| runlor that Mrs. Dowie was about to
| repudiate Voliva and that the pole was
| removed SO that Dowie might not her.
| aid his return to the city to his people.
Disbands Zion Guards.
In the evening the Zion guards, the
military organization with which Dowie
said he would storm Zion tabernacle
if resisted on his return, was disbanded
by Overseer Voliva at a meeting in the
tabernacle. He also declared that moth
ing could be found in the Scriptures to
warrant women holding office as over
seers and elders. This will GUST Mrs.
| Dowie from her church office. He also
said that the officers would have to
dispense with their silk bishop
stores to be sold on the remnant coun-
ters.
No one in Dowie g apartments would
lconfrm the rumor that Mrs. Dowie con-
Ftemplated reputation of Voliva, and
Attorney Wetten refused to discuss the
subject at all. ST.
| The visit of Mrs. Dowie, coupled
with the statement Of DR.. J. N. Blanks
that athe "tirst APOSTLE. was stricken
suffered relapse, gave rise to ru-
NOR at the hotel that he was on his
deathbed and that death was but a
matter Of few hours. This rumor
was emphatically denied by both the
attendants and Attorney Wetten.
81 have just left Dr.. Dowie. and will
say in all candor that he seems to me
;. to be better than he has been at any
time since he returned from Mexico

That's if the Man would just let him

But-the Floorwalker spoke from his
heart when he hoped we would now

Because-he knew that the first Damp

He knew these had not been per-

You see 80 per cent. of all Clothes

Because, tkat is the quickest and

defects in the Tai1oring-of shrinking
and stretching the Cloth into shape,
through moisture and heat, instead OF
Working it into Permanently corrected
shape by expensive ha,id-needle-gVoYk

CRUELTY TO GOAT
Unknown Man Dragged Helpless
Animal Through Dark Roads.

The Journal learned yesterday of 4
case of cruelty. which. if as reported
offers an opportunity for the society
with the long name to get in some good
work. 1t is stated that a man last Sat
urday night secured goat somewhere
out back of Hallowell, and after at
taching the animal to the rear of his
wagon. drove back and forth between
this city and Hallowell with the ami
mails body dragging on the ground. 1t
lis presumed that the man drove so
fast that the poor creature could not
keep his feet and then after he had
fallen the driver continued rapid
pace. dragging the animal by the head
1t is believed the man was intoxicat-
| ed and this is perhaps the most chart
BILE view to take of the case. People
who live between this city and Hall
lowell were awakened by the bleatine
FOf the helpless creature, and it 10 stat
ed that Sunday the tracks Of the goats
body could be seen in number of
places as he was dragged along the
ground.
The man is also said to have driven
his horse in very cruel manner. The
case has been reported and it would
not be surprising If further steps were
| taken to bring the guilty party to JUS
tice.
