A MONTANA CENSORSHIP.

There was not much freak legisla.
ton enacted by the tenth Montana as
sembly; the guiding spirits OF that
body we're conservative and careful.
But there were a few measures that
passed the house and sen ate and at
terward became laws, that are at least
peculiar, If they are not freaks, says
the Missoulian. One of these pro.
hibits the publication by newspapers
of certain advertising matter and also
forbids the printing of news relating
to certain crimes mentioned in the
law; the act goes further than this
and says that Montana newspapers
shall publish no account of the do.
ings of immoral men and women, or
auy interview with this class of peo.
pie.
There is, perhaps, good and reason.
able ground for the suppression OF
some of the advertising that is dis
played in many of the newspapers.
not only in Montana, but in other
states. Concerning the suppression
of news which deals with the doings
of immoral men and women, there is
certain to be q wide difference of
opinion. None Of the yellowest jour.
nalism sanctions the bold display OF
this class of news; 1t is news that
should be printed in conservative form
If it is to be printed at all-and the
newspaper men of the state and the
peace officers will say that this class
of news should be printed, not for its
sens tionalism but for the protection
of the community and for the fear
that "immoral men and women have
of publicity.
1t is q fact that is admitted by those
whose duties have made them ia
miliar with the conditions of the un-
der.world that these people have
greater dread Of publicity than they
have OF the police. The newspaper is
q greater deterrent to vice than are
the officers Of the law. The fear Of
getting into print has kept many q
man out of jail, when his moral sense
was nil and only the dread of publici.
ty has prevented him from committing
crime. The veteran officer of the Law
will testify that, in nine out Of
ten, the first request of IN arrested
person is that his offense be kept out
of the newspapers. The veteran re-
porter can tell you Of the scores of in
stances in which men have threatened,
begged and wept with him in the en-
deavor to secure the suppression Of
the story of a crime. Publicity is the
foe Of vice.
The bill which was enacted into this
law was introduced in the lower
branch of the legislature by Miller, OF
Park county; its title states that the
Introduction was ''by request" Who
aver made the request and framed the
bill had slight knowledge OF crimina'
matters. Mr.. Miller has had expert
ence as county attorney: he should
know that the law is opposed to pub
lie interests. 1t is doubtful. indeed
if this particular provision can be en-
forced. There is a constitutional
guarantee of the freedom of the press

Organic PLANT Foodr.

Plant foods exist In the soil In solu-
BILE condition as well as in the form of
inert mineral matter. Plants, to ac-
complish their life, to arrive to- the
state of being organic, have absolute
need of that which Is the result of the
decomposition of other vegetable or ami
NAL organic matter spread upon the
surface Of the earth. Some plants are
largely beneficial, as there are plants
which, although imparting to the soil
a part Of their nourishment, by the
means of their roots left in the ground,
appropriate to themselves also a great
quantity of atmospheric matter by
means of their leaves, such as carbons,
and have besides this great advantage,
that even when they are carried out Of
the field they leave more organic mat
ter than they have consumed for their
growth. 1t is largely owing to this adj
mirable property of certain plants to
produce more organic matter than they
absorb from the earth that it Is posi-
bic to maintain the fertility Of a piece
VI SlOulli III W IL Olllg part
of that which it has produced. If
plants were nourished only by the hui
mus spread upon the earth farmers
would be compelled to replace the pro-
duction which can not be converted into
manure by proportlonate quantity Of
vegetables cultivated In another piece
os land, and If the strength Of the veg
citation should diminish even little by
little, the money used for the cultiva-
ton OF the soil would eventually be
lost. Fortunately for the farmer, he
can increase the quantity of plant food
in his soil by growing crops to be
plowed under, or by adding barnyard
manure and fertilizer, tine advantages
thus afforded being within the reach OF

DEATH OF DowIE.

End of the Most Spectacular Career
of Recent Years.
When John Alexander Dowie passed
away death ended the most spectacu'
lar and remarkable career that modern
times have known Gigantic successes
and tragic failures punctuated his life.
Here are some of the remarkable
works and reversals that marked
Dowie's career:
He brilsa creed he was excommu-
nfcated-
He built a city; he was exiled from
It
He amassed fortune of millions; he
was reduced to virtual poverty.
He elevated Voliva to great power !;
Voliva deposed him.
He drew about him thousands who
worshiped him: he died deserted by all
save handful of the faithful.
Chicago witnessed in the course Of
few years the founding of cult, its
extraordinary growth and the sue
ceeding dissensions which divided its
followers, then the death Of its founder
and first apostle. The work Of John
Alexander Dowie In Chicago began If
teen years ago on a foundation Of So

and pelted with missiles by mobs and

Farm values from 1900 TO 1905 have
advanced more than one-third, and the
department Of agriculture has been in
vestigating the reasons for the adj
vance. Turning to the reports from
agents in Ohio. it is interesting to note
how local conditions affected the situa-
ton. Thus Ashland county attributes
the advance to more careful methods
and more liberal use OF fertilizers
Brown county says it's general prosper
ity, new electric lines and good crops.
Clermont county attributes 1t to new
electric roads. SO does Columbia. In
Cuyahoga county it's the close proxim-
ity of Cleveland as a market. Schools,
improvements In roads, railroads, cleo
trio lines and telephone lines helped
ton Of large milk-condenslng plants In
Delta and Wauseon made farE; lands
more valuable. In Greene county, ac-
cording to the reports, the credit Is due
to the efforts Of the farmers to Increase
the fertility of the soil and to the build
ing and Improvement Of farm struc-
lures. Improvement of fences and
buildings and good draining aided Har
din. jefferson says rs due to the
sprInging up OF large mining toms and
the subsequent demand for farm pro-
ducts. In Licking It's general improve
ments and electric roads. Lorain Is
prosperous because the demand for
farm products from the cities Of Lo-
rain and Elyria is steadily increasing.
Better farming and the use Of COW
peas and clover improved conditions in
Meigs. In Putnam the causes Of the In
crease are found In the construction Of
10 miles Of stone road, better tile drain
age. and other permanent improve
ments. Richland believes it's because
Of the improvement in care and cult
yation. Trumbull land is more valua-
hIe hecause white oak timber has gone

savs land Is bought more freely as
safe form of investment. Warren
county corroborates that statement;
And In Washington county farms have
gone ND In many instances from SIPS to

LEADS IN HAVANA CIGARS.

Great Britain Imports More of Them
Than Any other Country.
Ell Tabaco reports the total export
Of Havana cigars last year as 256, 1885,
029. 1t Is generally assumed that the
United States is the largest consumer OF
this particular product The fact is .nat
we took only little more than 80 per
cent of the output, our purchases being
79,4S3,125 cigars an increase of about
100000 over the preceding year.
England buys more Cuban cigars
than does the United States. Her pur-
chases last year we've 92,459,6S7 and
during the year 1905 were 90,5O5, 906.
Germany buys between 25,o00,0O0 and
100000, and France takes from TO-
100000 to 100000. Seventy-h diff
ferent countries are included in
the list of Cuba's direct ship
ments. Turks, Koreans and Egyp-
tians import them. The little Is
land of Miquelon bought 1880 Havana
cigars last year. Paraguayans and Bo-
livians bought them. The Swedes, the
Danes and the Norwegans bought
them. They were sent to the African
possessions of England, France, Ger
many, Spain and Portugal. Havana
cigars went to Australasia. to China
and to Japan. The fragrance of the
Cuban weed encircles the globe and
spreads from pole to pole.
Our purchases fall below those OF
England by reason of our importa-
ton of large quantities Of Cuban leaf
for manufacture here. We bought last
year about 25,0O0,0oo pounds of leaf,
while England's purchases We're only
about $4,000 pounds. Out of total leaf
shipments of 12,636,S36 kilos 11,413,373
kilos came to this country. Cuban Gig
asettes find their largest foreign mar
ket in Colombia, to which country
$500. 24S were sent last year. Arneri-
can purchases were less than 100000.
Two hundred and fifty-seven mill
lions of cigars may look like a heap
but at that rate it would take the is
land of Cuba thirty years to supply
the American requirement for cigars
for a single year. We smoke nearly

John Alexander Dowie was a Scotch
man. He had been secretive about his
origin In an obvious effort to prepare
his followers for some announcement
of immaculate birth.
His father, an aged Scotchman, ap-

zenith, and proclaimed his relation

mans claims upon him, and. it is
charged, refused to provide for his ma
terial welfare.
From Scotland Dowie went to Aus.

evangelist. Reports are that he was
fined 500 and served term of imprls-
onment in that country for the results
Of "divine healing" methods
In 1883 he landed in San Francisco
with capital OF 500 in his pocket. In
1890 he came to Chicago and preached
on the streets His followers multiplied
rapidly. Two years later he opened a
larger mission.
Small donations grew to large gifts.

power transferred real estate to him
so literally that within four years he
was rich. He established bank and

purchased the site of Zion City, 5000
acres Of the finest land on the lake
