A RIGHT TO GOOD ROADS.
No Industrial Glass In Country More
Entitled to Help Than Farm
ing Communities. ,

IL this Is a government Of, by and
Tor the people, 1t Is time to cast about
n see whether its functions are be-
Ing faithfully exercised. There are
ninety million people in the United
States, and more than one-third Of
these are engaged in agricultural
pursuits. Upon this latter class all
the others depend for the necessaries
of life, and according as conditions
are good or bad about the agricul-
tural classes, all the others are af-
fected. Prosperity in the farming
world means prosperity in the indus
trial and the mercantile world. When
the farmers suffer, the disaster
reaches in some measure to every
man. woman and child In the country.
There is nc way to honestly put
out OF sight the interdependence of
our people, and yet the one class that
could live absolutely without the ex-
istence of any of the other classes is
the farming community. In view
OF these se~lf-evident truths it does
seem that the industrial and mercan.
tile classes, with the professional
people, would be mindful of every.
thing tending to make rural life
profitable and pleasant. The pres.
n highway conditions form the
most serious drawback that confronts
the country to-day. In no other civ.
ilized country do like conditions pre-.
vail. Wherever government has in.
tervened for good highways, there
the people are %happiest. The high.
ways afford to the rural population
not alone the mean or communities.
ton with the business world, but the
means of reaching church houses and
school houses, and all that they have
OF social intercourse and amusement
1t should be a matter of general pubs
lie concern to have the highways in
all the states put in first-class condi.
ton. The states of themselves can
never establish satisfactory systems
of roads, nor should they be expected
to. The cost of road construction
should be equitably distributed, and
this can only be done through national
aid.

CHINESE PROBLEM

One-third of the land in the destroyed

NOW A DRY TOWN
MAYOR soHMITz DECIDES NOT
TO ALLOW SALOONS TO
REOPEN.
The hoard of Police Commissioners
Indorse the Suggestion of the
Mayor, That All saloon Licenses
He RevoI<cd-Had mn object Les
son.,

San Francisco, May 12.-That the
authorities here have no intention Of
lossening the tight grip on the reins
which have held the liquor dealers
in check since the city suffered its
great disaster, was made plain, Fri
day, by the emphatic declarations OF
Mayor Schmitz. When asked as to
the likelihood of the saloons being al
lowed to open in the near future, the
mayor not only denied that there was
q possibility of such action being
taken, but added that he had decided
hat all drinking places should be
closed for an indefinite period. He
attributed the remarkable absence Of
crime and the exceptional order
which has prevailed in the city since
the conflagration to the fact hat the
edict against the selling of liquor had
been rigidly enforced.
Endorsed BY the Police Board.
This stand of the mayor was empha-
sized when the board of police COM
missioners met and unanimously in
dorsed a suggestion made by the
mayor that all saloon Lenses now
in existence be revoked. San Fran
cisco is to-day actually without sa-
looms. In discussing this sweeping or
der the commissioners were a unit in
voicing the sentiment that the future
welfare of the city would be enhanced
by a fewer number of drinking places.
A number Of saloon proprietors have
in the course of construction temper
airy buildings in which they hope soon
to be permitted to dispense liquors.
To these the commissioners issued
a warning advising them that the
number of saloon licenses to be issued
in the future would be greatly cur
tailed, and that it was unwise for them
60 incur any expense in the way OF
temporary building operations.
An object Lesson.
In San MateQ county, just over the
border, the supervisors recently al
lowed the saloon men to open their
places Of business. The result was
disastrous. Thousands of men and
women fiocked over and INDUCED in
drunken orgies. 1t produced the near
est approach of riotous conditions that
has existed in the city since the great
catastrophe. Chief of Police Oman
appealed to Sheriff Mansfield of San
Mateo county, begging him to see that
all grog shops within his jurisdic-
ton be closed. Sheriff Mansfield
made answer that he would close all
drinking places, despite the action of
the supervisors Of the county, ever

WHAT LIMITS CORN YIELD.
Cow Protein Corn More Apt to Do Well
on Land Poor in Nitrogen Than
High Protein Corn.

Regarding the yield of corr 1t seems
quite possible that upon land whose
productive capacity is limited by the
supply of available nitrogen the low
protein or high starch corn may yield
better than the high protein corn,
provided the two kinds of corn are
equal in other respects, as in germ
mating power, vigor of growth, root
development, etc. My opinion is that
IL we have use for high protein corn
we should produce 1t and by means
of leguminous crops we should pro
vide the growing corr crop with as
much nitrogen as 1t can proitably
use. OF course this principle applies
not only to nitrogen, but to all of the
elements of fertility. There is nc
economy in allowing any crop to grow
In a half starved condition, any more
than there is in keeping growing ami
mails on a mere maintenance ration
We should provide not only the nj
trogen, but we should also make sure
that the supply of phosphorus an6
potassium is sufficient for maximum
profitable crop yields.
In this connection 1t may be stated
that the evidence thus far obtained
from soil Investigations in the corn
belt indicates that the supply Of nj.
trogen is abundant in most soils, In.
deed that large amounts of nitrogen
are annually passing on in drainage
waters, that phosphorus and not nj.
trogen is the element which commonly
limits the yield of the corn crop, and
that the chief effect of clover upon q
succeeding crop Of corn Is due to the
phosphorus liberated by the decaying
clover r%esidues. the fixation of nj
trogen being Of secondary import,

Of Illinois.

The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1906-05-07

One of the late bits of political
gossip being most vigorously
contradicted by Jacobson sup
porters mentions the real motive
back of the Lac Qui Parle man s
candidacy; for governor-not
Jacobson's motive, but that of
his managers-as the EN- barrass-
ment of Senator Nelson in his
candidacy for re election. G. A.
Smith, the Minneapolis Jun Der.
man, whose senatorial am billions
are of long years standing, is
credited with being the mar
with the barrel in the campaign.
The story runs that under cover
of nominating Jacobson, the
managers are working to get
men in the legislature who will
vote for Smith as a Swede can
didate for senator. Jacobson is
a Norwegian, as is Senator Mel
son, and it is figured out that if
the former were governor, Smith
would stand better show.
