Gov. Johnson's Platform.
Washington Post.

Washington Post.
If the Democratic party is sincere
in its desire to seek a Democrat, pure
and undefiled. to whom it can offer
the leadership Of the party, what
fault can it find with Gov. Johnson,
Of Minnesota? That able executive
Of a single State is rapidly becoming
a national figure through the sheer
force of his democratic principles
and good common sense. What other
man so completely embodies in his
own political views the modern prln-
ciples of the Democratic party7 In
him there is no taint Of populism, no
tendency to demagoguery, no inel1na"
lion to cling steadfastly to some par
ticular, pet idea which he wishes to
force the party, willy-nilly, to swal-
low. But neither is he a sort of po-
litiea bell buoy shifting his base ac-
oording to the roll of the waves. He
has come out frankly and stated the
platform on which he stands in no
euuivocal terms. How does it COM
pare with the ideas Of modern De-
mocracy9
First, Gov. johnson believes in a
tariff reform that will give all indus
tries al equal chance. That is De-
moeratic principle as cid as the par
ty. Next, he believes emphaticaly
that the States alone, not the Federal
government, should have the power to
remedy the corporate and other abus-
IS from which they Individually suf-
fer. and that each State ought to
have power to punish the corpora
tions offending within its own lines.
The doctrine of States rights was
the very milk on which the party
was nourished in its infancy.
Furthermore. he advocates income
and inheritance taxes. and declares
AGAINST imperialism. While asserting
that rlundering corporations ought to
be checked. this safe and sane De-
mocrat would not attack merely to
destroy them nor to prosecute mere!y
to leealize confiseation. But he IS
hfe:hlv in favor Of legislation that
will absolutely prevent stock-water-
ING and even the semblalce OF f1ctl-
tious valuations.
What safer and saner rtattorm
than this could make the appeal to
present-aav Democrats? Here Is a
man who stands for sound. progress
sive ideas Of government. He mas no
particular personal ideas or HOBBIES
or interests to represent. He pres
ents NO inflanmatory reforms; ne
rather suggests prc per control OF tne

THE PRESIDENT
AND MR.. TAFT.
Democratic.

The Presidents letter to a
friend in Montana which has
been published far and wide
throughout the country, suggests
that the Republican party fears
it may lose big portion of the
labor vote. The writing of po-
litical letters Ey presidents, in
behalf of the candidates whom
they wish to succeed them, has
few if any precedents IN Ameri-
can history, but Mr.. Roosevelt
is an iconoclast as regards pre-
cedents and it is predicted by
many that he will not stop with
writing letters, but will take the
stump in person for his candi-
date. There is no reason why
he should not take the stump.
The whole country knows that
he favorS the election of Mr..
Taft and the President is not
man who will let II dare not
wait upon would" The Presi-
dent discusses the candidates
toward reforms, railroad
and trust regulations and labor
organizations, and he says:
''There is no fight for decency
and fair dealing which l have
waged in which | have not had
his heartiest and most effective
sympathy and support and the
policies for which | stand are his
policies as we'll as mine"

In the letter Col. Sturges says:
"We are going to devote every

The amount of labor expended upon this
crop was large for the area, especially at the
transplant ting time. One days team work in
preparing the land and about 80 days, mems
though the work was not heavy and could
have been largely performed by boys The
yield was low owing to the desert and unfer-
tilized character Of the soil, onions requiring
large amounts of organic matter in the soil to
give good results.

CROPS AND MARKETS.

The crops selected for The season OF 1905
were Early hose potatoes, White Bermuda
onions. Rock yfOrd cantaioupes, Dwarf Cham
pion and Burpee's Quarter Century tomatoes,
and alfalfa, besides few hills of watermeons
and sGndry vegetables.
The produce was marketed in Yuma with
the exception of tomatoes, which, for the
largest part, were expressed To Tucson and
Bisbee. The following statements for the
various crops are on the basis OF net cash le-
turns to the small farmer, who with ar. aver
age family of five and a team of horses is as
Sumed to do the work required. as explained
below. Items necesSitating cash outlay, as
seed, irrigating water. and crates are deducted
from gross returns. Water costs an average
of 30 cents for irrigation per acre for the crops
grown. The yields in certain Instances are
low, Cue to the unimproved condition of the
soil, which, like desert soils in gec.,al. was
low in nitrogen and organic matter. Some
small salty areas also affected yields locally.

The amount of labor required for the crop
Itself was about ID working days, with team
lH days. The sesbania used as green manur-
ing on the west half OF the potato ground was
given II irrigations. Bermuda grass, more
over flourished beneath the sesbania to such
an extent as subsequently to require % DAYS
labor for cleaning up the .40 acres so fertilized.
Although the larger part OF the crop came
from the SeSbania fertiliZed portion of the DO
tatoes, this method of enriching the soil
proved very costly, 81 days mans time and 3
days teamwork being required to put the ses-
bania under and afterwards get rid Of the
Bermuda grass. Nevertheless, the labor en-
tailed could easily have been managed by u
careful farmer, as the Bermuda digging was
done in January when other work was not
urgent.

1905, yielding three cuttings of about five tons
OF clean hay the first season. During the Sec
ond season, covered by this Timely Hint,
there were seven cuttings with a total of
about 70 tons of hay The only cash outlay
was SO. for irrlgating water. The labor re-
quired was, mans time, IA days and team

Inent for this alfalfa on account of the small
size OF the field und der consideration, and linn

this season. represents u cash return of not
less thar $1,000 for the crop; but this hay was
used to feed the team employed on the place,
proving to be more than sufficient for that
purnose, since stack of about three tons re-
mains Mt the end of the season. The manure
from this source, being free from Bermuda
grass seed, was especially valuable for fertil-
1zing part of the crops grown.

THROW OUT OLD LAMPS.

The following is clipped from the
Cass City Chronicle. Perhaps il may
explain to some of our readers why
their light bills have been so high. If
the ratio of loss is correct as stated, it
would be good saving to throw away
the old lamps:-
To the Electric Light Users
l wish to say word in explanation
to those paying large bills and not get
ting satisfactory results.
n great many keep the old lamps in
commission after they get black, when
they should be thrown away.
For example, Mr.. VanSyckle had IL
lights in his store for which he paid for
the month of November $646 and re-
ceived very poor lights. | persuaded
him to install new lamps and guaran-
teed to give him more light and reduce
his light bill.
On December 18th his meter read
/ 1874, 800 watts and after burning the
old lamps 514 hours, the meter read
1,53S,900 or a consumption of 1900 watts
at s cents per 1000 watts would be 32
cents.
We installed new lamps and burned
them 5A hours and meter read "a 600
or consumption of 2,l00 watts at Sc
would be 10 4-5c, saving of Is l-5c
per night.
In 26 days with the old lamps he
would pay at the rate of &c per night,
1892. With the new lamps at 16 1-5c
he will pay S4.37, a saving of 1896.
The lamps cost him S275 and after
paying for them and after getting
twice the light he saved S1.20
A new Is G.. u. lamp consumes 56
watts and for every 30 hours the lamp
burns il increases watt and is reduced
$40 candle power, after 500 hours burn
ing the lamp is registering on your me-
ter 66 watts and you are only getting
