CARMACK CLUBS.

A strong and very enthusiastic
Carmack Club of rs voters was or
ganized at Chestnut Hill in the
tenth district last Saturday night.
The club met again Monday night
when the membership was consid-
erably increased. The "bloody
tenth" as it used to be called, has
a voting strength, Democrats and
Republicans, of probably $50.
A strong Carmack Club was al
so organized at Holiday Friday
night. The second district was a
Carmack stronghold in the Sena-
torial contest two years ago, and
will be much stronger in the ap-
preaching gubernatorial primary.

FRUIT GROWING.

Editor THE CHRONICLE:
Ifyou will give me small space
IN your esteemed paper | will try
and explain some things about
fruit growing. / have travelled in
Madison and Gibson counties and
have seen some fine fruit and veg
etable fields. Some fields have
20 acres Of strawberries, A acreso Of
cabbage, 10 acres of tomatoes and
8 to 10 acres Of potatoes.
Nearly every town in this sec
tion is shipping point. Sheds,
30x300 feet for unloading fruit, are
provided at these points along the
railroads. tFertiIizersa are used ex-
tensively. First break the land,
harrow, and lay off. Put.about 500
pounds of fertilizer to the acre for
tomatoes, strowing largeas'hand-
full every Is inches. Put two fur
rows with one-horse p)ow to the
row, drag with light drag, and
split the ridge with single shovel.
BY this means you mix the fertil-
izer al through the soil and it will
not burn the crop.
Set the plants in the furrowz
inches deep, rake losesoil to them.
Drive 81 foot stake close to plant
q inches) tie plant to stake, and
keep suckers broke off up to the
one next to the first bloom. Cul-
tivate good. Three acres is an av-
erage crop, though some men have
20 acres.
This makes early cropsand COM
mands good prices. Several men
cleared $500 per acre last year.
Three acres is an average crop
of cabbage, and they make $l50
an acre one year with another.
Some men often make $400 to the
acre. One man and mule, without
assistance, can raise 2 acres of to-
matoes. The land here is very
little better than land in Benton
County, though, Of course, it is
some better.
Responsible men tell me they
clear SLOGAN acre-on Strawberries
one year with another. Often an
acre will net$150 and even more.
The shipments from some points
will average 10 cars daily for three
weeks, and not less tnan half
million dollars are brought into
Gibson County every year by the
fruit and garden crops.
people willbegin to grow
garden crops to the amount of SO
acres within few miles Of Cam

construct sheds and make arrange
ments to handle your crops.
Don't one wait for the other.
You can get strawberry plants for
$1.50 per 1000 plus the freight,
and 1000 plants will set an acre.

Secretary Wilson of the Department
of Agriculture has dispatched a special
agent to Europe for the purpose of
securing, If possible, new forage plants
that will grow in the semi-arid regions
of the west. The secretary is con-
WINGED that some forms of the grasses
that grow in Siberia n other parts
of northern Europe can be trans
planted successfully and used to i'm
prove the ranges in western Nebraska,
Wyoming, Montana and the Rocky
mountain states where the rainfall is
limited.
h secretary has for some time
been urging upon the stock growers
and the experts in his department the
necessity of further protection and i'm
provement of the ranges. Unless this
is done, he contends, the time will be
not far distant when meat will be a
luxury to be habitually enjoyed, here
as in European countries, only by the
well-to-do. The statement would APP
pear to be much exaggerated we're 1t
not supported by statistics showing the
constant increase in the price of meat.
the actual decrease in the number Of
meat-producing animals in the coun-
try, the constant reduction of the
range area and the rapidly increasing
demands for home consumption. The
United States is still an exporter of
meat and meat products on a large
scale, but can continue to export only
If something is soon done to improve
the ranges
The price of meat naturally de-
Ponds largely upon the cost of grain
and forage. With ample ranges of
good quality beef could be produced at
prices much lower than now prevail,
but there will be no lessening in meat
prices so long as cereals continue to
rule high. With corr at so cents a
bushel on the farm, the Stalled beef
comes very near being placed in the
list of Injuries. Farmers hesitate to
raise much hay or other forage while
grain crops bring more lucrative re-
turns. The ranges are steadily
deteriorating and their capacity to
sustain animal life growing less. The
west and the entire country will be
greatly benefited II the search ordered
by Secretary Wilson results in the dis
covery of some grass not now grown
here which will increase the country's
output of forage.

THOUGHTS OF THE DAY.

A line Of first aid to the injured helps
some.
A bomb in the bush is safer than one in
the hand.
Distance lends enchantment to the voice
OF the cannon cracker.
A lacerated hand is fine reminder Of the
day for some time after.
II you must make a noise. shoot off your
mouth and pound a tin can.
Do not monopolize the noise. There are
other patriots on the beach.
The giant firecracker that fails to so off
phones to the physician all right.
The pistol and the dynamite blank cart
ridge expose the vacant upper story.
Small boys learned their part from the
elders. Fathers have no kick coming.
Go forth late and come home early. You
will twitter with the birds next morning.
A line Of accident and fire insurance
policies often serve as a balm for burned
patriotism.
Telling Johnny, get your gun" is need
less. Johnny is onto his job every minute
OF the day.
Sense and sentiment lasts through the
year. The patriotism OF punk s%putters
and dies in a day.
II not for your own, be careful for the
doctors sake. He wants a day off and
doesn't need the money.
The evil that men do oft lives after them.
The Chinaman who invented firecrakers
never achieved a monument.

BIG AND

Colonel Bryan, through his Com
moner, qualities his demand for pub
licity Of campaign fund contributions
by advocating an exemption for all
such contributions not above a
reasonable minimum" In other
words, campaign fund publicity in
Mr.. Bryan's opinion is a good thing
for the big fellows, but a bad thing for
the little fellows. II ten men give $40
apiece the law should enable them to
keep it dark" but II one man gives
500 his generosity must be subjected
to suspicion.
The peculiar line of argument by
which Mr.. Bryan would Justify his dis
elimination is that exposure to the
public view Of small political contribu-
tions might involve the donors in
harassment, especially If they were
wage workers differing in politics
from their employers. But he would
have the contributions of employers
heralded forth from the housetops so
that he might array n against the
other. He wants a law that will ena-
BILE him to point out to the employees
the position of their employers and
persuade them that their divergent
interests make it necessary for them
to vote the other way.
Mr.. Bryan thinks that the same
argument that is made in favor of the
secret ballot applies in favor of
secrecy as to small campaign contribu-
tons. Mr.. Bryan's illogical logic
would justify withdrawing the secrecy
of the ballot from employers and prop
erty owners and restricting its protec-
ton only 10 men dependent for en-
ployment upon others who might seek
to influence their votes. 1t would
Justify one law for the rich and an
other law for the poor in all the vari-
Gus obligations of citizenship.
II publicity of campaign contribu-
lions is desirable, how a there be a
halfway station where publicity
should stop and secrecy begin? The
untenable position which Mr.. Bryan
has Just taken on this subject is a fair
sample of the contradictory inconsis-
tencies in which he constantly trips
himself up.

HONESTY OF PRESIDENTS.
personal Integrity Has Ever Been n
Distinguishing Trait"

" ~ -
Grover Cleveland was reputed to be a
very rich man when he left the White
House. 1t was charged by popullst and
Bryan orators that he had accumulated a
fortune of fully 5000, 900 while in office.
That he died comparatively poor effectively
refutes a SANDER as persistent as It was
malignant.
Personal integrity has even been a dis
tinguishing trait in presidents Of the United
States. There have been twenty-six oc-
cupants Of the high post, but against none
Of them has an accusation OF dishonesty
been preferred which had a more substan-
tial basis than wild rumor. The charges
were rung on Grants alleged connection
with the gold ring, but the evidence as
slfted by historians acquits him OF any
completely in that attack on the nations
credit. From Washington to Roosevelt the
line OF succession In answering integrity
remains unbroken.
Presidents have been Incorporate, they
have not been exempt from human weak
nesses and they have committed number
less mistakes in executive policy. Party
calumny has not spared their morals. But
that they have used their position for per-
sonal profit is yet to be proved. Not one
was ever shown to have added a dollar
to his fortune by the illegitimate exercise
OF powers for influencing legislation such
as reside In no other chief magistrate.
Their record in this respect Is unparal-
leled in any other nation. II is particu-
larly In contrast with that OF the execu-
tives OF other republics, elevated ofttimes,
as with US, from obscurity and poverty to
high place, but less fortified by charac-
ter against its temptations.

The HEARST PARTl PLANS.

Official announcement is made in
New York that the national ~independ-
ence party is to hold its convention In
Chicago on July 81 and 2S and put a
ticket in the field, regardless of what
may be lone by the democratic con
v~ention at Denver. This program was
formally announced some time ago, be-
fore Mr.. Hearst went to Europe, and is
now repeated by Melvin G.. Palliser,
the manager of the party in Mr..
Hearst''s absence. In his statement
Mr.. Palliser says:
Besides putting a national ticket i'm the
field there will be independent tickets
named in every state in which our party
is organized. The independence party Will
poll more than 1000, 900 votes at the next
election, and that means that Bryan will
not have a ghost of a show of winning.
He is a hackneyed candidate, and If he IS
nominated IL will mean not only the break
ing up Of the solid south, but the break
ing up Of the democratic party. | don't
mean by that that the democratic party
will lose it's name, but it will mean that
it will be r~eorganized by the adoption Of
new principles.
This reiterated statement of the
Hearst plans does not bolster up those
who have been talking possible fusion
between the Hearst and democratic
forces, Mr.. Hearst has denounced
fusion and says he has beer a "sullen
and reluctant convert to fusion in
times past" and will have no more of
it. He proposes to make this fight
without entangling alliances and is
convinced that the democratic ticket
will be third in the running in several
eastern states. In that event, he nat
urally hopes to take a seat at the head
of the council tables of democracy
when reorganization comes, as il
would come after Mr.. Bryan's third
defeat.
The Hearst strength must not be un-
derestimated. When he ran for mayor
tof New York in 1905 he polled 224.,
929 votes, being defeated by a small
margin. In 1906 he was defeated by
Governor Hughes by 57.SSS. but all
the other candidates on the Hearst
ticket were elected. This was in a fu-
sion deal with the democrats, in which
the Tammany faction knitted Hearst
Mr.. Bryan's strength in New York has
always been below the normal demo
cratic vote. He ran 5000 below the
rtate ticket in New York in 1896 and
