Roosevelt. The insurance investigation
also sustained Judge Parkcr's charge.
With all this evidence against him,
Theodore Roosevelt has not yet had the
manhood to apologize to Judge Parker
for the coarsc abuse hcapcd upon him in

PEOPLE HAVE NO PART
In MAKING LAWS

In some Of his earliest addresses on
the subject, Mr.. Newlands pointed out
that the majority of the people have no
voice whatever in making the laws for
the incorporation Of the railroads which
transact their transportation business.
a railroad doing business in Nevada,
for instance, may be incorporated under
the laws of Kentucky. or New Jersey.
and the people of Nevada have nothing
whatever to say about the restrictions
that are TO De placed in its charter.
The only solution of the difficulty is to
require all railroads desiring to engage
in interstate transportation to incOrpor-
ate under the laws passed by the Con
grcSs Of the United States in which
proper provision can be made for the
prevention Of stock.watcring and over.
capitalization, the discrimination
against small shippers, and all the other
modern abuses Of power by railroads;
and in the making of such laws every
citizen Of the nation, through the Con
gresham and Senators of his district
and State, would have IL voice.
The thorough grasp of the subject by
Mr.. Ncwlands is shown by the pro.
vision Of his bill. II contains provisions
requiring all issues of railroad stocks
and bonds to he approved, before being
made, by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, in order to prevent spccu.
lation and over. capitalization; for the
making Of full reports, as called for by
that body; for II uniform system of

SEED WHEAT.
Grade Generally Used Not Up to ths
Standard.

Grade Generally Used Not Up to ths
Standard.
That the grade Of seed wheat gem
orally used Is net up to the standard
was ascertained In an investigation by
G. w. Shaw Of the California station,
who secured a large number Of sam
pies of seed wheat over a wide area In
the Sacramento and San Joaquin VAL
legs OF California TO determine the
general character Of the seed used by
the farmers Of the state. In general
the samples showed that the quality
Of seed used by most farmers is lack
Ing in purity, perfection Of develop
ment, weight per bushel, freedom from
weeds and freedom from bunt. 1t is
stated that practically all investiga-
tors have found the use OF large,
plump seed and Of high weight per
bushel the most profitable. No pernaa-
nent benefit Is believed to be secured
from the frequent exchange Of seed
unless a better type OF wheat or q
more vigorous strain OF the same type
IL obtained by the exchange. The use
Of seed from heavy yielding plants, a
plump and heavy grain, a clean wheat
and pure variety are considered by
him the most important points in seed
selection.
In this connection the results secur-
ed by E. G. Montgomery OF the Ne
braska station in an experiment with
seed wheat and seed onts selected by
the use OF the flaming min are Of in
terest. In these experiments heavy
seed wheat as separated by the fan.
ming mill did not show an improve
ment in either yield or quality OF grain
as compared with light or unseparated
seed. and 1t is believed that no perHsa-
nent Improvement in quality or yield
Is to be expected from the use of the
flaming mill in seed selection.
At first thought It would seem that
If 'like produces like the large or
heavy seeds should produce the best
crop. However, we must recognize the
