Some critics have contended that the
Department of Agriculture has under
taken too scientific a work in many direc-
tons for the practical benefit of the
farmer. Same farmers hold to this view
through ignorance of the facts. The
strictly scientific work of the Department
Of Agriculture is of a most practical kind.
The experts in this city and in the branch
experiment stations are constantly striv'
ing to solve the problems of soil. crops,
weather. insects and disease with which
the farmer has to contend. It is neces-
sary for them to woEk on a strictly
scientific basis in order to achieve re-
suits. Indeed. science In this connection
means only system and thoroughness, the
seeking of causes. There Is no estimating
the value to the farmer of today Of the
experiments of the last ten or twenty
years which to the lay mind may at the
time have seemed mere laboratory pas.
time and altogether impracticable.
In any community the progressive
farmer may be recognized by the attitude
he adopts toward the Department of
Agriculture. The scoffer may have good
crops despite his refusal to follow the
suggestions and take advantage of the
experiments of the government bureaus.
but it is more than likely that he
would have better crops If he paid
heed to such hints. Indeed the advantage
gained by the farmer who recognizes In
the governments enterprise the best
available advice for the agriculturist is
not measured by the material gains alone
in crops and stock and in farm econo-
mics. He Is the broader man for his COM
munion thus with science, and his general
administration is improved without ref
erence to the specific details of bulletins
or year books. In fact the American
farmer of today is wide-awake, pro-
gressive man, and his broadening is due
In part to the governments work.

The Hughes Alliance.

Gov. Hughes has returned home, and
will be on the stump there during the re-
msinder of the campaign. His western
tour. which extended as far as Colorado,
was a pronounced success. His audiences
everywhere took to him. and it is be-
lieved he improved his party's chances
wherever he spoke. In some states his
receptions were enthusiastic.
Surprise was expressed at the time that
this Journey should be undertaken. Opin-
ion was that as he had his hands full at
home. Gov. Hughes should remain and
attend 10 the work. He decided differ
ently-he has a way Of going his own gait
and set out TO help Taft and Sherman in
the debatable territory beyond the ALLIE
ghenies. But he is back now. with his
prestige as campaigner considerably
increased. and in the coming three weeks.

ticket will look out particularly for num-
Der one
The most important announcement or

York of the Hughes Alliance-an organl-
zation embracing democrats. independents
and republicans. whose purpose, as the
name indicates. Is to assist the governor

and exposing false stories about the
Hughes record at Albany. and as vel!
explain to voters what may be expected
IN the way of additional reform II there
should be a second Hughes term. The
purpose is a good one. and IL theoretically
carried out should count for much In the
equation.
1t is always to be remembered that Gov.
Hughes is the product of a sentiment for
good government which was recruited
from the three parties which compose the
alliance in question. He was the regular
republican candidate, but received a lib
eraI support from both democrats and In
lie pendents who believed In him, and
thought the state would benefit by his
election In office he hae met more than
expectations, and when the time came
for deciding the question. republicans.
democrats and independents formed the
force which brought about his rcnomina-
ton.
Again, therefore, Gov. Hughes is the
::indidate of men who are demanding
good government. He is the regular re-
publican candidate. but democratic In
1iuences and independent influences as
sisted in making him SO, and to the fur-
ther assistance Of those influences he is
clearly entitled. Every man who has
approved Of his course IN office, and who
desired his denomination. should now .ex-
ert himself In the candidates behalf.
Less than this would be unfair to the
man who IN executing the commission
he obtained has antagonized the undo
sfrabie elements Of the states population,
and Is being opposed By them.
In his first race Gov. Hughes had to
be taken on trust. He was new to
politics. and had never held office. But
in this race ne Is a certainty. He has
shown the stun of which ne Is composed.
and that in office he can be relied on to
Keep his promises. and put the, peoples
interests above the reach Of the politi-
cal bosses. And II those who put him
in Office and approve of his course there
are not tired OF their own and his we'll
doing, they can keep him where is is.

More Protection for the Miner.
ON the Harrisburg Telegraph.

From the HhrrlSDurE IeIeErHpH
While the production of anthracite coal
at present is enormous, ii Is the opinion
of Chief James r. Roderick of the state
department of mines and mining that
there are too many accidents. This is not
violent conclusion on the part of the
mining official representing the state.
Notwithstanding the frequent legislation
to reduce the mining fatalities. there is
still great room for improvement.
Each year. however. as upon the rail
roads of the country there is change
for the better in the methods al safe
guarding human life. and the hopeful side
of the matter is that Intelligent mining
experts arc gradually overcoming many
of the difficulties that have perplexed
miners and mine owners for many years.
