SPEAKER CANNON'S CRIME.

The government is reserving about
$50 million acres of forests, but all of
the national forests are in the west,
chiefly in the Far West. Not a foot
is in the south, and the states south of
Mason and Dixon's line have still a
vast amount of timbered lands.
Speaker Cannon refuses to be just
to the south. He refuses to let a bill
creating an Appalachian forest be
called up. He will nor permit the
House to consider the subject, and yet
the water supply, if not the timber
supply, Of a vast section Of the cOun-
try turns upon the preservation of the
Appalachian forests. The value of these
forests to the great southeast has been
fully demonstrated in official reports.
1t the southeast would pull together
it could compel the House machine to
do Justice to this section of the coun
try.The southeast has not been zeal
Gus enough. It should become unified
and aggressive on this subject. The
time has fully come for the passage of
an Appalachian forest bill, and there
should be in the next Congress a pro-
longed, deep and determined demand
for it.

THE BANK OF WAYNE.

Since the Bank of Wayne entered
the newspaper advertising field it has
presented to the newspaper-reading
public some of the most forceful and
convincing reasons for the exercise of
thrift and the cultivation Of the habit
of saving. It is a wise counsellor-is
the Bank of Wayne, for it speaks from
experience, because it has seen men
dozens, scores, hundreds, thousands of
it's customers, during the long years of
it's safe and successful career, build
from small savings by thrift and dill
gence. dollar upon dollar, up to a safe
competency against the coming of the
proverbiaI "rainy day'-and on to
larger sums for future investment in
wider opportunities for emolument.
The Bank of Wayne is noted fol- it's
sagacious business policies and safe
administration, and it has built up not
only a widespread clientage and an
absolutely i~mpreguable surplus for the
security of its depositors, but it also
enjoys the unshakable confidence of
the public in its integrity.

APPLYING FERTILIzER WHEN
PLANTING.
While it is certainly true, in our ex-
perience, that the greater part of the fer
tilizer should be applied about two weeks
mixed in the soil Of the bedding furrow
and sbedded on, there are circumstances
one or more intercultural applications,
including one at the actual date of plant
ing. The following are such circumstan-
% When a farmer has not been able
to secure the whole amount of his fer
'l( e Wh nah0f he eeo taniI, u tim after his crop
has been planted and is growing, that
he did not buy and apply as much as he
should have done before planting.
90 When the yellowiSh green color and
want of vigor in the appearance of the
plants indicate that more nitrogen IS
needed by the crop.
We believe 1t may be safely accepted
as a general rule that a small portion
of Notwithstanding Fertilizer should be
applied with, or near the seed, at the
time Of planting. The effect of this small
application is to supply. the young plants
with available food during the first stage
Of their growth. inducing prompt and
vigorous development. For this purpose
40 to 80 pounds per acre may be applied
of the same fertilizer that had been bed
ded on two weeks before planting.
A second application of ~high-grade fer
tilizers may be made at the second or
third blowing of cotton, or at six or eight
inches height of the plants up to Is inch
es, or the middle to last of May, and the
middle to last of June.
The i~ntercultural applications may be
made in The siding furrow, or the fer
tilizer may be strewn along in the midd1es
ahead of the pillow or cultivator. There
is no need to fear that the plants will
not get the benefit of a ~high-grade fer
tilizer If put anyhere, on or between the
rows. June 18th is the latest date at
which the writer has ever applied fer
tilizer in this way to either corn or cot
ton, although there is little reasonGto
doubt that even later applications would
benefit the crop; but probably not enough
to pay the cost Of the fertilizer. i.

OMINOUS SILENCE.

Treasurer Cornelius n. Bliss is keep
ing still. He was the official slush col
Iector OF 1904. 81 have" he says, been
keeping still for two years, and I do
not see any profit in saying anything
now" Why, to be sure. No one in
his shoes would be apt to say anything,
for no one likes to go to the peniten-
tiary.
1t was declared in banking circles,
so runs a New York special, that light
could be shed on the question OF cam
paign conditions in 1904 if the books OF
the national republican committee
were thrown pen The books, that is
to say, of Bosom Friend Cortelyou.
The proposition of the banking circles
is enough to make a horse laugh. We
have all heard of tbs cow that was as
signed to the task of jumping over the
moon. She had a difficult task, but it
was mere pastime alongside that OF
throwing open the Cortelyou-Roosevelt
campaign contribution books of 1904.
When a republican Congress refused
to pass a publicity bill it practically
said that the books of 1904 should re-
main closed forever to the people who
are deeply interested in knowing what
they contain-in knowing how and by
whom the election of 1904 was carried.
OF course, Mr.. Cornelius n. Bliss, slush
collector extraordinary in Wall street,
is keeping still. He will continue to
keep still. He can be trusted to carry
his secrets to the grave, and perhaps
those mysterious books of 1904 will be
of them.

FERTILIZING THE CROP.

The primary object in using fertilizer
is to produce a larger yield of the crop
that is to be Immediately grown, or is
already growing, on the land. to which
the fertilizer is to be applied. AS a rule,
it contains from ten to sixteen per cent.
of more or less promptly available plant
food. In other words, a commercial fer
tilizer contains in every hundred pounds
weight from 10 to Is pounds of available
amount Of phosphoric acid and potash
combined, or of these two and nitrogen
eombined' making in the latter case, What
this 10 to 16 pounds in each 100 pounds
of the fertilizer is supposed to be, and
should be, practically soluble and avail
for the use of the crop, says Virginia.
Carolina Fertilizer Almanac.
or the "a to 80 pounds in each 100 pounds,
is a mixture of insolub1e phosphate and
sulphate of lime, some sand, water, or
ganic matter and other things that are
necessarily incident to the manufacture,
and cannot be economically removed.
They are Of very little immediate value
to either the crop or the soil.
So when we apply a high-grade fertil.
izer to the soil the object is to supply
increase the yield of the cotton, grain,
grass, or whatever the crop may be.

not only Increases the yield Of seed cot
ton, but also the size of the stalks,
the foliage, hulls and other parts that
go Immediately back and form a part OF
the soil in the shape of humus (decayed
vegetable matter). But the principal way
to improve the soil itself, is to d vege-
table matter to it in the form of stable
manure r~enovating crops, rotation OF
crops, etc, in a more direct
wish to increase h yield Of corn, cotton
wheat, oats, grass, etc., that the fertilizer
should contain the three ''elements'' OF
plant food in the proportions that are
best suited to the particular crop. This
Is particularly true IL the purpose Is to
use liberal amounts Of fertilizer per acre.
In such case the deficient supply, in the
natural soil, of any one or more of the
three valuable" elements (phosphoric
acid, nitrogen and potash) need not be
specially considered.
According to carefully conducted Held
experiments, at many of the
experiment stations, it has been found
that cotton requires a fertilizer that con-
tains about one part a Of nitrogen and
potash and 3 1-3 parts of available phos-
phoric acid. This demand would be met
by a fertilizer containing 10 per cent.

APPROXIMATION

Forty-two years ago today, at the
head of his "thin grey line of shattered
Int immortal heroes, General Robert
f. Lee surrendered to Gen1 U. s..
Grant, at AppromattoX, and the South
ern Confederacy, with its priceless
treasury of heroic deeds and untarn-
1shed heroes-and its unapProadable
heroines-passed into history.
Those who had followed Lee through
all four years of that feaful war-battle-
grimed heroes who had sustained the
rigors of climate and prlvat1ons OF
LONG marches and who knew what war
as-ha said that Lee was greatest
at Appromattox, and, that there was
not a man in the remnant of his shat
tered army that Sunday morning who
would not then and there have followed
him to the death.
And those who nave so said said
truly. Lee was greatest at Appromat-
tox.
Recently, in an address before the
tuden of the University of Edin-
burgh, Mr.. Haldane, Secretary of War,
1Sh0l5 w HdG L . 11AOS an "i~H NO
measure ofsuccess?"
And in answer to that question he
told his studen audience that the dedi-
cation, the selecting of an ideal, the
concentrating upon that, the sticking
to it. whether successful or unsuccess-
ful. was the noblest use to which a life
can be put. The test was not success
or failure, the reaching ofsome definite
point: it was the striving itself, or
ather the quality of the striving, the
aiming in continually higher and higher
reach towards the ideal, the struggling
instead of yielding, that was manhood's
highest expression.
Many men and women stumble at
this point. They think more of results
than of processes. They feel that there
is no success but only dismal failure
unless there be practical results. Sod
Almighty does not deal with us by any
such sordid rule. He does not hold us
responsible for results, provided only
we consecrate ourselves to our work
and labor as best we can. Indeed,
there is often more credit in failure
than in triumph, for there is more
sacrifice. There is triumph in defeat
sswhen the mind is fixed and bent upon
somewhat tina is good" And so
Robert f. Lee, with a self-sacrifice that
was sublime, dedicated himself to the
cause OF the Southern Confederacy, and
all the world knows with what unself-
ish devotion and uncompromising
honor he led its forces and followed its
fortunes to the close. 1t was destiny
not defeat-that confronted Lee at APP
promattox; and so he recognized des-
tiny and faced it with that same calm
determination and unperturbed hero
ism with which he ever recognized duty
and faced death, leaving to God the rest.
No, God Almighty doe not hold us
responsible for results. The striving
is ours-the earnest, untiring, conse-
Grated striving: the results are Gods,
and with God there are no failures.
The Southern Confederacy was not a
failures: it was an ordeal-a crucible in
which great principles were demarked
and great souls were made to shine for
the enlightenment and emulation of
succeeding generations "to the last
syllable OF recorded time."

Denver, May 29.-The temperance question was the all-absorbing topic today before the general assembly of the United Presbyterian church. The question of indorsing the Anti-Saloon league grew out of the recommends tions of the committee on temperance, and a heated discussion followed. The friends of the anti-saloon league were successful in having action on the anti church temperance council held over for another year so that the support of the United Presbyterian church might not be divided, and the resolution in dorsing the Anti-Saloon League of America was passed overwhelmingly.

Residents of San Francisco Pro-
 test Against Assaults
RACE PREJUDICE THE CAUSE
Japanese Association Make Statement of Their View of Recent Attacks Upon Japanese Res
 taurants.

San Francisco, May 29.-The Japanese association, composed of leading Japa- neee residents, today made the following statement of the Japanees view of recent assaults committed against Japanese in this city:
 Tn the first place the Japanese res- idents of San Francisco realize the fact that the present conditions in this city made 1t very difficult for the authorities to extend full protection. They under stand that the strike upon street rail- ways puts heavy tax upon the police force and that 1t is impossible to guard all places at all times against the lawless element of the community
 They are fully convinced, however, that much of the violence to which they had been subjected Is due to racial preju- dice and that the attempts that are being made in certain quarters to have it appear that the trouble is confined to quarrels between laboring men, incidentally in- volved Japanese, are without foundation. Tn support of this view they direct attention to the fact that the Japanese restaurants have been systematically an-
 
 ly a day goes by in the south of Market street that some threatening demonstra- tion is not made by roughs and hoodlums against Japanese places of business in that quarter
 After giving a number of specific in- stances of attacks on Japanese restaur- ants, between May 20 and May 25, the statement continues:
 The upniforrnity of these expressions of hostility to Japanese preciudes the idea that they are incidental results of chance rows between white laboring men. They are entirely distinct in character frogp the acts of tieiesce ssavfnyi ott of als street car strike, where capital ami labor are at war. They are clearly aa expression of race prejudice, to which ths people of no other nationality are at pres ent subjected.
 ''The Japanese residents of San Fran cisco further insist that no provocation has been given or is being given for these outrages. They are peacefully engaged In a lawful occupation. the right to which Is given them by the treaty stipulations. They believe that they are fully justified In protesting against acts which place their property in jeopardy and their lives in peril, and they denounce as unjust such public criticism as attributes their complaints to mere caprice.
 Tn the meantime they sincerely regret the necessity of calling of special police protection but believe it wiser to make that demand now, rather than wait untl some overt act of the mob shall precipi- tate more serious trouble and possibly bloodshed."
