What is the matter with our Young
friend in Hardwick? He lameuts the
fact that the Democrats of Oregon will
gain L. S. Senator in the approaching
election, because "under the direct vot-
ing primary law of that state the electors
vote directly for the candidates. He
says that "the Democrat, Gov. Chamber
lain, is expected to sweep the state be-
cause of his personal popularity" and
that "the overwhelming Republican leg
islature will be compelled under the law
to elect him SENATOR" and ends up by
saying $50 much for fool primary laws.
Have we got to the point where a citi
zen's right to a seat in Congress is ques-
toned or deplored when a majority OF
his constituents want him to represent
them? In theory Senator is supposed
to be the choice of the people although
elected by their state legislature and if
Oregon has given her people voice in
this matter-has instructed her dele
gates how to vote, she is to be congrat-
ulated, and not ridiculed, for her oppor-
tunities.
Again, our brother, referring to Gov.
Hughes, says:
"His fastidious disdain of legitimate
and worthy effort in his own behalf has
repealed thousands who would have
gladly attached themselves to his inter
ests."
We favor Mr. Taft for the presidency,
but we think "fastidious disdain" does
not characterize Gov. Hughes absorp-
ton in his work as Governor of New
York, while he is governor. We do not
believe there are thousands of cynical
and band-wagon voters whom the Gov
ernor's attitude has repealed. If there
are such voters, their support wouldn't
be worth a great deal in a tight place :
the Governor is better off without them.

Salt as q Fertilizer.

Salt has long been recognized as val
liable fertilizing agent, especially for Use
on light, sandy or worn out land. 1t is
claimed that an oat crop on such soil is
more than doubled by the use OF salt.
Farmers of Northern Vermont have
been accustomed for many years TO oh
tain their Fertilizing Salt OF c. 5, Page
of Hyde Park, Vt. The Salt he sells is
that VIII icb has been used on Hides,
Skins, etc, in his hide house aud con-
taus more ors less waste matter that
really adds to its fertiizing value. Last
year the demand far exceeded the supply
and Mr. Pages stock was exhausted
early in the season, so that he was
obliged to disaproint many farmers who
sent in their orders late. II is advisa-
hle, therefore, that farmers Who intend
using Pages Salt this season should
place their orders early.
The price this year is only Si01 per
ton f o. b. Hyde Park. The railroad
company makes an especially low rate
on twelve ton carloads. Ii You will
write Mr.. Page, he will tell you the ex-
act rate to your station.
