Heavy Vote With
Little Disturbance
In Early Polling

Indications early Tuesday morning
were for heavy vote in the city. In
terest around the booths seemed to
center entirely on the mayoralty.
The election Is q very quiet one.
election fights and disagreements be-
ing very few. Most Of the early
trouble seemed to center In the first
district Of the First ward. Republl-
can workers there say that they al
ready have enough evidence Of crook
edness to throw out the precinct.
The vote Is especially heavy In the
silk stocking" precincts. the business
and professional men and clerks vot-
ing in numbers before they went 70
their Offices and stores. The precincts
where the vote IN largely composed OF
workingmen showed lighter returns.
This may mean crush at night anu
the losing Of many votes.
The early conditions seemed TO favor
Breitmeyer. There were many more
men wearing his badges around the
booths.
Eastern Time Favored.
Election inspectors generally stated
that eastern standard time is getting
a heavy vote, with sun time also draw
ing a big vote on the east side. There
Is no special interest In the other
propositions.
In the first precinct Of the First
ward. the key to the ballot box would
not work and consequently there was
a great delay In getting the voting
started. Finally the ballot box was
fixed. Then arguments began.
There was gossip about the booth
that BILLY" Busha, the Republican
leader In the precinct. had gone over
to the other side. Complaints were
also made that illiterate voters were
having their ballots marked without
proper inspection. One man, Antoni
Gardello. was refused vote but In
sisted later and was finally allowed
to cast HIS ballot.

being cut in this precinct.
The other river precincts ssemed

In the fifth precinct OF the First
ward. one OF the Republican strong
holds. SO votes had boen cast up to
9:40. At the same time s4/votes had
been cast In the third district OF the

light. but there was lot Of Brett

NO REPUBLICAN OR
DEMOCRATIC WEATHER NOW

Fair weather. such az Detroit
Is being favored with today. Is
referred to as Republican
weather, and rainy weather as
Democratic.
That is not SO much the case
now as II used to be-" says
Frank Doremus. THAT idea
comes from the fact that most
farmers are Republicans and
that they did not get out when
II was stormy and the roads
muddy. But in the city. with
good pavements, everyone
should vote Just the same IN
rainy weather. And with I'm
proved roads In the country the
situation Is much the same
there"

PitifuI State of Thing. at Now Orleans.

From the Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin.
The naughty Caucasian race can not
get much glory out Of what occurred at
New Orleans last night.
The evening had been fixed up by
colored people of the city for a spelling
match In honor of Marie Bolden, tho
colored girl who won the spelling con-
test held at Cleveland in connection
with the convention Of the National
Educational associations competition
open to, pupils from public schools In
any part OF the United States. >"
Marie had fairly won distinction by
spelling down the champions OF Cleve-
land and Pittsburg at the national
tournament. Not only that, but she
reflected credit upon New Orleans. Yet
when news of last evenings innocent
gathering got abroad, there were mutt
terings In the streets Of the city which
reached the ears of the, mayor, who
withheld a permit for the affair, on the
ground that II might prove an incen-
tive to q race riot with consequences
dreadful to New Orleans. +s-'
So New Orleans avoided disorder, but
poor little Marie Bolden missed the
honor that was to have been paid her.
Certainly New Orleans camaot' boast
very highly OF the sense OF Justice
which dwells in the breasts Of its white
Inhabitants. " 10 ''' .'a

THE NECESSITY Or
CROP ROTATION
Only Means by Which Large
Yields of Wheat May Be
Obtained in Old Soils.

From .'The Future Wheat Supply OF tho
United States In September Century.
Wheat farming In a majority OF the
whcat-producing regions OF the United
States Is stin carried on IN a slothful and
careless manner. IL is the type OF agrd4
culture that is followed by the farmer
with the least ability and business capae-
icy. His knowledge az agricuituresis-us-
uelly less than that of any other class OF
farmers, excepting perhaps the tenant
farmers OF the South and so long as ma
TIRES bounty, in theeform OF soil fertiI@
ity. lasts, he prospers. Then when the
soil loses it's readily available fertility,
when noxious weeds choke the grain, and
insect pests are rampant. the common
proceeding OF the wheat farrner Is to move
westward. n begin the process OF soil
robbery anew. !
Land that has been cropped with wheat
for many years is not necessarily infer
tile and permanently unprodactfye Ibe-
sause. Of such. cropping. Continuous-wheat
culture quickly reduces the supply OF Or
Sanio matter in the soil, and therefore fh4
lures Its mellowness and wa~ter-holding ca
paclty, properties which are essential In q
grain-growing soil. The most available
elements. of mineral plant food are also
rapidly exhausted by.wheati n the crop
having also exhausted the organic matter
tf the soil, the conditions essential to soil
u0Cay are impaired, ana the ~prOuucuOIf
Of new supplies of mineral plant food IN
the soil Is checked. Soils that have been
brought to this condition may be reno.
waited and made extremely productive
again by intelligent schemes of crop ro-
tation, use or live stock and soil stillage.
1t is to be hoped that the present wheat
lands OF. the United States car be util1
liked for wheat production for many gem
erations to come; but this can be done
only by making wheat alternate with 9th
er field crops In the scheme of cropping.
instead Of growing the crop continuously
until the land must undergo a period OF
renovation before It is again productive.
IL systems of agriculture could be- instiI
tuted on all the soils of the United states
I'm which the grain, grass and cultivated
crops were a~lternated, the fertility OF our
soils could be indefinitely maintained. AS
agriculture Is now practiced. however. one
region produces a large acreage OF one
crop to which II is peculiarly fitted at
the present time, n some other region
another crop. Thus in many regions fer
tility is not conserved. but rapidly ex-
hausted, and the intensive systems of ag-
riculture which prevail In the eastern part
Of the United States build VI the eastern
soils at the expense OF the fertility OF the
West. f

From the Chicago Evening Post.
The, late William c. Whitney wanted

1t was in the middle OF February, and
there were no peaches in Washington.
He found a man in New York who said
he could get some, and Whitney ordered
several baskets. .. ....... ~. -
