DR.. Harvey w. Wiley.

ing the fiscal year which will end on
June 80 of this year DR.. Wiley finds
himself in charge of a corps of $50
persons, 200 of them chemists, and the
budget of the bureau will total
100000.
To-day the government also main
tains so experiment stations which are
now in operation in every state and

not necessarily argue increase of use
fulness, but in the case of the depart
ment of agriculture its benefits to the
farming interests and to the country
at large have been immeasurably en-
HANGED during the last 25 years. To
these increased benefits the bureau of
chemistry of which DR.. Wiley is chief,
has made large contributions By the
analysis of soils and the investigation
of the effect of environment on the
chemical composition of plants the
bureau of chemistry was able to define
the limits of sugar beet growing terri

way for the establishment of the beet
sugar industry, which promises great
results in the near future.
In 1880 there were only four beet
sugar factories IL the United States,
with an invested capital of $3.50
and an annual product valued at
$282,572. In 1905 the factories num-
E1 ha oil
923,459, and the value of products was
$24, 1898, 1914 From 1890 to 1905 the
number of beet sugar factories in
creased 70 per cent; the capital in
vested in the business increased III
per cent, and the value of the yearly
output increased 233 per cent.
Another service of inestimable value
rendered to the country by the ma
tional bureau of chemistry is in start
ing and promoting the pure food and
drug movement. If Dr. Wiley is not
the father of that NOV ement, he has
been the head and front of it from the
beginning. When he began work on
that line, upward of 20 years ago, not

force them. DR.. Wiley was the pioneer
of the movement in America and he
| made chemistry a most effective in
strument in promoting it, 1t was
mainly through his efforts that the
analysis of foods, drugs, spices, edibles
and beverages showed adulteration to
| be an almost universal practice, and
started a movement that has resulted
in widespread reform. He Is the father
of the national pure food law which
took effect January 1, 1907, and chair
man of the national commission for
construing and enforcing it.

Water, Water. Everywhere.

During the flood of 1903 an old
darby living in the East bottoms
awoke one morning to find his
premises four feet under water.
Later he was found by a party
of rescuers walking about the yard
prodding into the ground with a fish
ing pole. He was asked his purpose.
Good gracious, men, said he,
what do you think All am a-doin? All
am tryin' to find nah dog-goned well
so All can git mahself a pail of watah."

tiously endorse.

We desire to inform The Glas-
Cow Times that The News has
never been classed with the Tilt
crates and reptiles simply be-
cause it has not worked on the
extreme end of censure and abuse
of those who take a different po-
litical course, whether Democrat
or Republican. That The News
has kept the faith, no one will
doubt that it believes in appeal
to reason rather than prejudice,
can not be disputed, and, there
fore, MARS Henry" has not
been provoked to pour out his
vile of wrath on it, as has been
the case with others. This coure
is not in keeping with the spirit
that has been so manifest in this
State for the last twelve years,
and has resulted in the creation
of much bitterness and strife.
The News realizes that it takes
longer to heal a wound than to
infict one that it is better to
fight the enemy than a friend i,
that every man or every publica-
ton can not be expected to see
alike nor do alike, and that we
must beras reasonable with 9TH
ers as we would have them be
with us. The fact is, the distant
past ought to be left to the dark
ness of the years gone by. Work
together when possible and dis
pute only, if dispute we must,
over the issues of the present
and their effect on the future.

If the charges made by MIR.
Matthews and his friends are
true as to the political condition
in this district, how in the name
of common sense can they vote
to continue such methods, and at
the same time openly declare for
honest living =? Mr.. Matthews
statement is strong Indictment
against that part of his party
which controls, and yet he states
that he will be found in line do
ing his best. There can be no eX-
cuse offered to justify such ac-
ton if in reality he believes in
an honest, fair living. No man
of any district or party nor no
set of men are under any politi-
cal or any other obligation to en-
dorse frauds, thefts and debauch-
cry. The man, the set of men,
who have the moral courage to
fight the bad in their own party,
to revolt against it if necessary,
can not lose the confidence of the
best people and after the smoke
drifts away will be properly ap-
preciated. No compromise with
dishonor is motto that will win
in the long struggle. There is
more at stake, or ought to be,
than merely being in the band
wagon.

First congressional district chang
ing his vote after the hour set
for the State Executive Com
mittee to meet. At the hour set
for the committee to meet, IL
O'Clock, it was conceded that
Louisville. would win and Mr..
Ayers was counted for Louis
vile, he.ahaving been openly in
favor ofELouisville up to that
time. Lewis McQuown, chair
man of the committee, did not
call the meeting to order until IL
o'clock, one hour after the time
fixed in the call, and this gave
Lexington one more hour to
work.. This hour was enough
and Lexington won by vote of
Z to 6, r.EAyres' vote making a
tie and putting it up to the chair
man, who otherwise has no vote,
to cast the deciding vote.
June II, was fixed as the date
for holding the convention and
resolution was adopted, offered by
Mr.. A. B. Rouse and seconed by
Col. w. B. Haldeman, indorsing
w. ]. Bryan for President.
County conventions, in counties
which do not contain more than
one legislative district and leg
islative district conventions in
counties containing more than
one legislative district, are to be
held on June 6 to select delegates
to the State Convention.
Col. w. B. Haldeman, the
member of the committee from
the Louisville will line up for
the Democratic ticket just as
actively and enthusiastically as
though Louisville had won the
convention, and he stated his be-
lief to the committee that there
would be no fractional fights in
Louisville, this fall. He said the
city intended to reclaim itself to
Democracy and would make it
unanimous if Lexington secured
the State Convention.

How any fair minded man VIII

How any fair minded man who
believes in an open honest politi-
cal course; who believes that
every section of our great COM
mon country and every interest
should have the same opportuni-
ty under the laws of our land,
can endorse the acts of the pres
ent Congress we are unable to
see or to understand. There is
not a doubt that the people
throughout the country believe
that the Publicity bill should be-
come a law and yet that measure
has been killed by lacking on an
amendment meant to reduc e
Southern representation. The
demand for a change in the tariff
is universal except from the pro-
tected industries, but that has
again been lodged and a false
Plea entered to fool the people as
they have heretofore been fooled.
A strong effort to play into the

interests by subsidy can not be
endorsed by the average voter
for there is no reason why the

tries. If the ship owner is to be
made a favorite and draw money
from the government, then why
not the farmers who feed and
clothe the world? The principle
is wrong and its operation would
be grossly unjust. Again the eff
fort to create an elastic currency

bankers, or a certain class of
them, latitude for broad opera

HOUSE.

New York, Aug l3.-There was an
exciting sceae in the corridor OF the
New Bedford avenue police court in
Brooklyn yesterday when Howard
Dunwiddie, disciple of the Holy
Rollers, a strange religious sect, at
tackled Magistrate Higginbotham, be-
fore whom rs men and seven women
members of the order had been al
raigned for disorderly conduct. When
the magistrate refused Dunwiddie's
request for private talk, the latter
struck him, Higginbotham landed
on Dunwiddie's jaw and the Holy
Roller went down in a heap. AS
soon as he recovered he attempted
to fee, but was brought back and
held in $500 bail on charge of as
sault.
When the Holy Rollers were ar
raigned, Miss Elizabeth Robinson, the
high priestess of the order, was ac-
cused by the magistrates of having
circulated a report In the courtroom
that he attempted to hug and kiss
her. She refused to explain the
statement and was held in $4,000 on
a charge OF contempt and $500 on a

ings. All the other prisoners were
