warned and candidates especially are
told to beware. This in spite of the
fact that throughout the year the Re-
view has had no word of personal un-
kindness for any man on the demo-
cratic ticket, either now or before the
primaries AS to the sincerity of our
purposes and the honesty of our ac-

court. We believe, too, that our
friends, those who have known US
best for many years, and who have
shown their loyalty at all times and
seasons, can be relied upon to prop

of this attack upon US. Having failed

GUARANTEED DEPOSITS.

The Ohio State journal contains
the following, which points out in a
concise manner the objections to
Bryan's bank deposit guarantee
system:
/. If we had the bank guarantee
system in vogue, and bank would

other banks get the money to pay the
depositors? Why, from the people,
of course-the saving mechanic, the
honest tradesman. the widow and all
the people who use banks to get their
returns from and do their current
business with. You cannot get 1907

2. The bank guarantee system
would tend to make both the banks
and the depositors reckless. The
former would take greater risks be-
cause they would not have to face
the resentment of people VINO lose,
and the latter would patronlze IN

bankers because they cannot lose.
But the reckless banker would have
the preference, because ne wculc

G. 0. P.'S CHOICE OF SENATOR
Important Part Of Primary Law Passed at the
Special Session Of Legislature.

Iowa has new primary law and
by its provisions the republicans of
Iowa will hold primary election in
connection with the November elect
ion to nominate candidate for Unit
ed States senator.
While this fact has becomes appar-
ent during the past few days,
hundreds of voters are asking who can
vote and what are the restrictions.
The new law provides that every
man who participated in the June
primaries as republican is entitled
to a primary ballot without question.
No man who affiliated with any other
party at that time is entitled to a
ballot. The voter whose name does
not appear on the primary poll books
and who wishes to participate in the
republican primary must sign the
following statement:

this primary election for candidate
of the republican party for the office
of senator in the congress of the
United States; | declare that
affiliate with and am in sympathy
with the principles of the republican
party; that it is my intention to sup
port generally at this general election

first day Of the last preceding year.
If the voter is then challenged h'

cinct having over 400 votes.
The law is so specific that there
can be no question as to the nomina-
ton. 1t provides that the candidate
receiving the highest number Of
votes from the state as whole shall
be the party nominee for the Office

One of the best outcomes of the
present campaign is the fact that
hereafter three are to be more than
two strong parties in the United
States. Four or five strong parties
are much better for the sake of good
government than but two parties.

The exposures made by Hea rst are
good things. No republican and no
democrat should object to having the
rascals exposed. In the Hearst ex
posures the Republicans came off
luckier than the Democrats. for
Foraker had been practically repudiat-
ed by Taft and Roosevelt. while Gov
Haskell had just been appointed to
high position in the counsels OF
Bryan. But this is a matter of de-
tail. The fact that either Foraker
or Haskell may have been dishonest
has nothing to do with the great
principles of either party.

Regina, SaSk., Nov. 90, 1907.
Commissioner of Immigration, Winni-
peg:
Dear Sir-It is with pleasure that |
reply to your request Some years ago
l took up a homestead for myself and
which we own is situated between Rou-
leau and Drinkwater, adjoining the
Moose Jaw Greek; is low level and
heavy land. We put in 40 acres of
wheat in stubble, which went 90 bush
els to the acre, and 80 acres of sum-
mer fallow. which went % bushels to
the acre. All the wheat we harvested
this year is No / hard. That means
the best wheat that can be raised on
the earth. We did not sell any wheat
yet, as we intend to keep one part for
our own seed, and sell the other part
to. people who want first-class seed, for
there is no doubt if you sow good
wheat you will harvest good wheat.
We also threshed 5000 bushels OF first
class oats out of 160 acres. Eighty
acres has been fall blowing. which
yielded 90 bushels per acre. and so
acres stubble, which went so bushels
to the acre. These oats are the best
kind that can be raised. We have
shipped three car loads OF them. and
got 53 cents per bushel clear. All our
grain was cut in the last week of the
month Of August before any frost could
touch ii.
Notwithstanding the fact that we
have had late spring. and that the
weather conditions this year were very
adverse and unfavorable, we will make
more money out of our crop this year
than last.
For myself feel compelled to say
that Western Canada crops cannot be
| checked, even by unusual conditions.

Leighton spoke in particular Of the
Southern Appala chan region. He de

the water power available in the re-
gion was at least 100000 horsepower !;
that one-fifth of this sold at an annual
rental of $50 per horsepower would

Farmer. should Test seed Corn.

Farmers SHOULD TEST SEED corn.
During the past two months members
of the Perdue (Ind.) Experiment Sta
tion have made q study Of the seed
corn of the State, and find the vitality
| ditiOn. The unusual cold, wet season
of 1907 did not allow the corn to ma
ture and dry out before the time Of
frosts. In the early part of October
much of the corn of the State was still
In a very moist and immature condi-
| ton. and the series of hard freezes
which came at that time materially in
| jured the vitality. The result of these
conditions is that those corn growers
VINO depended on late selected seed are
now finding upon close examination
many ears Of questionable vitality. For
these reasons all seed corn should be
specially selected and thoroughly test
ed. A test OF each individual ear
should be made and all weak or dead
ears should be discarded.
This test can be made IL several
ways. The following Is suggested as
a reliable and satisfactory one:
Take box made of inch lumber and
of any convenient size, say about 2x3
feet and inches deep. Through the
ends and sides, about 2la inches from
the bottom, bore small holes inches
apart. Through these holes string a
| light galvanized wire. which will divide
the box into squares inches to The
side. Then fill the box with garden soil
or sand and ii is ready for use The
ears should be laid en- the floor or
racks in a row, so they can be num-
bered. From ear No. / remove five kerr
nels, each from different part of the
ear, and place these In square No. /,
remove five kernels from ear No. 9 and
place in square No. ,, and so on until
all the ears have been tested. After
placing the kernels, moisten the mate
rial IN the box thoroughly and cover
with a glass or rug, TO keep the
surface from drying. Place the tester
In a room of ordinary liying-roOm tenn
perature. or about 30 degrees Fahren-
leit. After five days examine the corn,
and any ears that fail TO show strong
termination of the kernels should be
removed and discarded.
This method of testing corn is sim
pie, convenient and rapid, and means
much in securing strong, germinable
seed. Only fourteen ears are required
to plant an acre of ground. With an
average yield each ear means five bush
els I'm the fall. When a man can test
five to eight bushels In a day and To-
cate definitely all weak or bad ears,
can he afford to neglect this important
step in the preparation Of his seed

ishment being Imprisonment for life
OF those countries which infiict the
death penalty, but rarely carry it out,
Sweden is most notable. Capital pun
ishment is inflicted by decapitation, but
the penalty imposed for premeditated
murder is almost invariably committed
to penal servitude for life. Germany
distinguishes between two kinds of
murder-one, premeditated and inten-
tional, is punishable by death; the sec
