GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.
Oh, for that wordl

Government ownership of railway,
 has been put to the practical test, or
 a limited scale, by our ncighbors if
 Canada, and the result is anything but
 encouraging to the friends of that pol
 icy. The Intcreolonial railway is owned
 and managed by the government and
 our Canadian contemporary, the Tor
 onto Mail and Express, tells as som,
 of the secrets of the way is which the
 business of the road is juggled 10 make
 the people think it is n profitable in. vestment, while in fact it is losing about sl 100000 n year. The expedient adopted is simplicity itself. Money re. ceived is credited 10 the railway, while rails, locomotives and ears are not charged up against inc road, but paid for by the dominion. Almost any busi. ness would show a profit, if service were the only expense and all purchases of material or supplies were made on inc credit of another.
 In four years ,according to the Tor. onto paper, there has been loss of e$;0OO,OO0 on the Intercolonial railway. although not one cent has been devoted to the payment of interest upon the in. vesfment. Although the earnings of the Intereolonial are sl,2O5 per mile iess than those of the Canadian Pacific the running expenses are $l,9U per mile greater. The Intercolonial earns 0,0s6 less per mile than the Grand Trunk, and its expenses are $3lO great. CT. While the operation of each mile of the Canadian Pacific costs Gs Der cent of its earnings per mile, and the Grand Trunk costs n fraction less, each mile of the IntercolDuial costs for nm. eration la5 per cent of the earnings per mile.
 It IS likely that the Interc olonial will show worse balance sheet in the near future if the government plan of build ing line parallel to n part of it at cost of $2o,OOO,OOO to s3O,OOO, 900, is carried out. It is said that the pro. Jected line is not so much for the de. velopment of the country as fo, polit. 'cal reasons. "Thc entire railway is treated as patronage and every polite. ian on the right side is entitled to milk it."
 The railroads of the United States have not been free from improper con nection with politicians, but after all they have usually been run to the best of the ability of the management for the benefit of the owners. The Inter. colonial railway presents n good illus. t'ation of what is to be expected when the politicians sustain their present re. | 'ations to the railways and also claim to represent the owners in everything but the payment of bills. The attempt to conceal the true state of things by lnsenious bookkeeping shows that the

Neighborhood Schools Wanted.
Discomfort with the public school
system has crystallized into a war cry
for neighborhood schools, says the
Literary Digest, and this war cry is
raised by the friends and not the enc

lieve that concentration has reached a
limit in schools as well as in other de-
partments of civic activity. Boston
has had the subject brought to its at

SOWING ALFALFA.
Preparation Of the Soil to Insure I
Good Stand.

Good Stand.
Men who have planned to get a stand
this fall by leaving their land bare.
With the hope Of cultivating it from
time to time during the season, need
little advice from us, because that is
really the ideal way Of fitting the land
for alfalfa. 1t destroys the annual
weed seeds in the surface soil, con-
serves moisture, firms the lower soil
and ideally fits the seed bed for the
reception of the seed, SO that germina-
ton is uniform, quick and strong. On
such soil, if the seed is sown in
August or during the first part of Sep
tember, the chances of not getting a
stand are, in our opinion, very slight.
On the Average Farm.
Turning now to the plan that must
be followed by the average man who
expects to SOW his alfalfa seed this
fall, we first recommend that the stub
BILE be plowed as soon as possible after
harvest. This is necessary in order
that full opportunity be given to work
down the soil into firm yet friable
condition. Furthermore, it is absolute
ly useless to plow early unless one
fully makes up his mind to do the
necessary work on the surface at in
tervals Of one week or ten days. The
harrow for this purpose is an ideal i'm
plement, though, of course, if the
weeds start it may be necessary to use
the disk to some extent. An instance
was called to our attention where Il
Kansas farmer last fall narrowed a
certain field fourteen times after plow-
ing and before seeding, and yet the re-
port that he has to offer on his success
in getting stand would indicate that
all his labor was justified.
In the Corn Belt.
We insist that half hearted methods
will not result in success in undertak-
ing to get stand of alfalfa, and the
crop is so valuable and lasts so many
years after proper seeding that one
can we'll afford to take the necessary
time to fit the land. AS to time of
seeding, we have said before that best
results are usually obtained by sowing
in August, though in the southern half
OF the corn belt seeding may be done
as, late as the 9Th or 10th of Septem-
ber. Each man must be his own judge
of local conditions, the main object
being to obtain fairly good growth
before the ground freezes. If the
plants are small when growth ceases
in the fall they are much more apt to
be heaved out by the freezing and
thawing Of the ground, while a strong
root system will in most cases prevent
the occurrence Of this. AS to the
amount of seed that should be used,
there is some difference existing in the
practice even of successful men.-Iowa

POLITICAL
Bryan pefers Ownership Issue.

In formal statement William j.
Bryan announces that government
ownership is not an immediate ISSUE"
as ga large majority Of the people still
hope for effective regulation" He still
believes. with many Democrats, that
public ownership of railroads is the
ultimate solution Of the problem" but
he and they recognize that regulation
must be tried under the most favorable
circumstances before the masses will
be ready to try a more radical RENE
dy." He adds that regulation cannot
be sufficiently tried within the next
year and that ''there is no desire any
where to make government ownership
an issue in 19OS." That, he thinks,
would give the railroads an opportuni-
ty "to dodge the issues of regulation
and deceive the public"
Nevertheless Mr. Bryan says that the
railroads so far have been successful
in preventing effective federal regula-
ton, while state regulation, as rule,
has "been restrained by the United
States courts" 1t took ten years to
find that the commerce commission
was powerless and ten more to amend
the law, even then the president hav-
ing to compromise with the railroad
Republicans in the senate" State agi-
tation has resulted in the railroads
seeking Ito centralize all rate legisla-
tion in congress- The Democratic
party, therefore, must meet the issues
by resisting "the encroachments of the
authority of the states'' and insisting
upon .'the exercise of the federal pow
er for the regulation Of interstate COM
merce.'' The party should demand
.'the ascertaining of the value Of all
the railroads, the preventing Of over
capitalization and the reduction OF
rates to a point where they will yield
only reasonable return on the real
value of the roads" VI

compromise, but to chang Haywood"
if they thought him guilty of such
crime. He summed up the evidence Of
dozen witnesses who contradicted
Orchard and asked if they could take
the word of ga cowardly, lying MUIR
derer against the word of people Of
good character" He added that Or
chard, if not the greatest murderer, was
the biggest liar. AS to immunity, Or
chard was already paid by having his
life prolonged in a soft, comfortable
berth, and it was a month after he
had shifted his crimes to Haywood that
he had thought of getting religion.
MCFARLAND, the chief Pinkerton, he
characterized as "a lying, deceitful

sympathy for the working class were
spoken, and it was asserted that mill

banner of liberty by the open grave

and it is difficult to give any kind Of
elasticity to such Il system. and the
writer believes that the growth Of the
private schools marks a revolt against
this kind of public school. He thinks
the remedy will be the development of
neighborhood schools under central su-
perviSion.
Medical Colleges Condemned.
4 special committee of the Amer
lean Medical association, which was
appointed three years ago to investi-
gate the instruction and standards OF
the various medical colleges in the
United States. has now submitted it's
report, which condemns about one-half
Of all the so called medical colleges
in the land and appeals to the public
to aid in rcmedying this evil. Among
the members Of the committee are
Drs. Bevan Of Chicago Frazier of
Pennsylvania university. Witherspoon
Of Nashville. Councilman of Boston,
Vaughan of Ann Arbor and Colwell Of
Chicago. The committee finds that
there arc too many of these schools
in which preliminary education is in
sufficient and in which the course of
instruction is inadequate and the lack
of trained teachers evident. 1t ap-
pears that there are now in this coun-
try 16O medical schools. or as many
as in all Europe. The report holds
that the great advance in the sciences
in recent years has made necessary a
much broader and more thorough
course of medical education than for
merly prevailed. 1t insists that a
four year high school course is re-
quired, year Of physics. chemistry
and biology, two years of practical
laboratory work, two years Of clinical
work in hospitals and year as in
terne in a hospital. To provide ade-
quate equipment medical schools must
be endowed. 1t is found that many
of our medical schools are still con-
Quoted solely for profit, which is con-
trary to the spirit of true attainment.

Climate Of tho Arid West.

During the last two or three years
there has been rather more than the
normal amount Of rainfall over the
larger part Of the arid region, and
many people acquainted only with the
present conditions firmly believe that
the climate is gradually becoming
more humid. This belief is probably
without any foundation in fact. and it
is surprising that it should exist, for
the precipitation records Of the whole
country receive wide publicity: but,
since the idea is generally held and
has been widely advertised, it becomes
important to emphasize the fact that
there is no adequate basis for hoping
that the climate of the arid west is
undergoing any appreciable change as
regards precipitation.-C. S. scofeld.

Kansas Grain Crops.

If most of those who are supposedly
we'll Informed as to Kansas grain crops
and their relative Importance were
asked to name the four they suppose
most largely grown, the chances are
that wheat would be put first, corn
second, oats third and rye fourth.
This order would no doubt be general
" accepted without question, but the
fact is barley has superseded rye in
the quartet, and Of course corn should
head the list, as it is the most valuable
product of Kansas soil. Kansans,
however, are prone to give wheat the
greatest prominence, because Kansas
is the leading wheat growing state in
the world AS to the competition for
fourth place. the statistics are inter-

A New Foundation Method.
The Literary Digest quotes from q
foreign engineering paper the descrip.
tion of new method of making
foundations now used in all sorts of
conditions. 1t is known as the COM
pressol system. 1t consists in making
holes through the soft soil down to
hard pan by means of tapering arm
which is forced down like pile driver
and then filing these holes with stones
and rubble in successive layers, each
Of which is firmly rammed down.
The result is to produce monolithic
block of great strength. No ground is
removed in the boring of the shaft,
the sides of which acquire great CON-

Sugar Beet Industry.

beets do not stop with the crops. They
are felt in stock production as we'll.
No farmer can begin to appreciate un-
til he has experience the value of mo-
lasses and sugar beet ulp-Dyproducts
of the sugar factory-as food for
stock. OF these every sugar factory is
turning out at least half the original
weight of the beets. Pulp is immedi-
ately available for the farmers use It
is easily stored and kept. AS rule, it
is considerably cheaper than any other
feed he can buy or produce. Usually
this pulp can be purchased at the fac
tory for 35 cents to 81 per ton. Such
low prices must necessarily continue
for some time.-C. r. Saylor.
