No More Free Seeds?

In view of the recent movement
against the free distribution OF gov
eminent seed. for which congress hab-
finally appropriates about $25O,OO0 an
nually. it is interesting to learn that
one Vermont man, " G. Kelsey OF

has written to Senator Dillingham; as

Public sentiment has been gradually
turning against the government seea
distribution, which is said to have de-
generated from its original useful pur-
pose Of testing new varieties to plain
graft. In place of untried samples OF
agricultural discoveries, vast quaint
ties of common garden seeds have been
bought by the department of agricul-
ture and congressman have sent them
out to further their own purposes
among their constituents. x Senators

Navy Bonaparte agreed with the presi'
dent. finding himself in the prospective
position Of having to dismiss large

in so doing. have had an influence for

This result is most desirable and would
amnly Justify the sacrifice of few

The pardons under the old law and
the modified new law which will result
in no severe punishment except IN
eases of extreme brutality, will neu-
tralize whatever injury has been done
the obnoxious practice of hazing by
the recent prosecutions. The president,
who loathes unfairness. cowardice and
immortality in men, all of which are
exemplifed in the practice of hazing'
has unintentionally protected these
qualities, out of his own personal pro
pensity for rough sports and his belief
