One week from today the election
Of 1908 will have come and gone and
the voters of this county will have
passed within the election booth and
registered their choice of the public
servants whom they wish to administer
the affairs of the nation, the state
and the county for the next two years
or longer.
As to the presidential candidates
their merits or dement's have been de-
tailed many times in these columns
during the campaign and the Herald
cannot believe that any republicans OF
old Grant County can be blind enough
to the best interests of themselves
and their country to turn from our
splendid candidate, VIM. II. Taft,
whose record of achievements is a
notable and glorious one, and who
stands for a continuation Of the
policies Of Presi lent Roosevelt which
have ever been in the interests of the
whole people, to cast their vote for
the democratic candidate, who has a
different set of policies each succeed
ing campaign and whose predictions
and theories in the past have later all
been proven dangerous or fallacious.
We believe this county may be con
fdently depended upon to roll up a
big majority for Taft and Sherman
and the entire republican ticket
when the ballots are counted next
Tuesday.

Utilizing Farm Waste.

DR.. Wiley, the chemist of the De-
partment of agriculture, is making
some interesting experiments at Wash
ington in turning farm waste into
wood alcohol. for use as fuel and for
manufacturing purposes. As far as
the experiment has yet gone, it has
dealt with corn and potatoes, which
were only useful as animal food. The
making Of alcohol from 'fodder"
would tend to stimulate one of the
worst tendencies of farming at present
which is to sell the crops instead of
feeding them on the farm.
All through the hill country of the
Eas we hear about abandoned farms
and complaint is widespread that our
lands have deteriorated so that farm
els are unable to make their living.
Part of this is due to stripping the
forests from the hillsidgs. thus de-
creasing the water supply, leaving
fields to run dry which formerly had
abundant moisture. But more Of it
is due to the failure to feed out on
the farm as much the of crop as pos
sible, thus securing the needed
fertilizer in the natural way, and
of the best possible quality. If as
the result of DR.. Wiley's experiments
stills are set up in farming COM
munities and the farmers sell to the
stills corn and small potatoes on
which they might rise pigs, the
farmers will have. to invest their
profits from the stills in commercial
fertilizers which they could have
secured from their own barnyards.
There is talk of utilizing watermelons
and muskmelons which tail to come
to maturity, and no doubt there is a
good deal of waste which could be
turned into alcohol with greater pro-
fit than anv use to which it is now
put. But as general principle
the greatest enemy of good farming
is the man who interferes with the
natural cycle by which vegetable
products are returned to the soil.
The greatest waste in the country is
that by which the sewage from our
towns is allowed to poison streams or
to be carried into the sea instead of
being returned to the soil. The man
who will invent a process by which that
waste can be restored to it's proper
place in the economy of nature, with
out danger to health, will be public
benefactor of most far-reaching use
fulness. If the Department of Agri
culture can solve that problem, the
secretary under whom the work is
done will become an historical figure
to rank with our greatest statesmen. =

NEW YORK. Oct 26-(Special) -
The season of newspaper polls on the
presidential election is virtually at an
end and almost unanimously the press
of the country comedies the election of
Taft and Sherman.
One of the features of the different
sets Of figures is the remarkable SINH
larity in the various polls taken by
the big papers of the country. The
Chicago Tribune gives Taft 800 votes,
The New York Herald gives him $50
votes and the New York Times 276
votes. The Chicago Tribune is re-
publican paper while the New York
Herald and the New York Times are
independent democrats. The New York
World which is looked upon as being
for BRYAN practically comedies the
election of Taft. The big newspapers
have never been more thorough in
their canvass than this year.
