1t is pleasing @ notice that some
Of the republican papers Of the state

( MAKING SOIL.

Extensive farmers have methods
for rendering their soil fertile by
blowing under clovers, vetches, etc.
These same farmers do not know that
they are also creating soil. The most
important of what they are doing is
not adding a fertilizer, but increas-
ing the quantity of soil which they
own. Alfalfa or clover that is
plowed makes mass of humus, and
this slowly undergoes chemical
change and physical change until it
is added to the bulk Of the soil. Now,
what we need in our country homes
most of all is a knowledge Of how to
make soil. A large majority of our
little nhomesteads are not 0ver-rich
in what land they do have, and the
land itself is limited-probably not
more than half an acre for fruit and
vegetables. The owner ought to know
how to make this exceedingly produe-
tive, and instead Of decreasing it
he ought to add to it and to its fertil-
ity every year. This can be done al
most anywhere, and done with ease.
One of the simplest possible ways
for increasing garden soil is the
planting of legumes. Beans may be
planted over and over in the same
spot and viii add to the nitrogen,
needing only little potash and a
trife of phosphate. But if corn is
planted repeatedly in corner of the
garden it exhausts cOrn-food, and
you will, in the course of three or
four years, get stalks one-half size on
ly, and ears accordingly. Now the
proper thing to do is just as soon as
you buy a place is to begin to accumu-
late sOil-stuff. Put this all into piles,
and you will be surprised to find
how rapidly the piles grow. On clay
soils you can get hardly anything
better than coal-ashes, and this Is
generally thrown away by the ton.
/ advise you to get It as largely as

THE DIRECT PRIMARY AGAIN

In speaking of the last city election
in Indianapolis, the Star OF that city
says:
1t is a serious question whether the
adoption of direct primaries has bene-
fitted or injured the situation of mu-
nlcipal politics in the election of a
Mayor. The city of Indianapolis now
confronts a condition in which its
Mayor-elect, poor man,-is trying to
discharge the financial obligations he
incurred not so much in the final cleo
ton as before the primaries-obliga
tons he entered into so as to carry
the various wards for the nomination
The general public does not under
stand so well as do the men who do
the practical work in politics the con-
ditions which confront the man seek
ing the nomination for Mayor. After
he has consulted some central author
ity or authorities he is referred to
the so-ealled leaders in the various
wards, and these inform him that it
is possible he can carry their ward,
but money will be required for ex-
penses. From $400 to $1,000 a ward
is the required amount and the as
pirant is made to believe that he
must either raise this money er with
draw from the race. At one stage of
his race Mr.. Shank was scared out
and withdrew. At q later stage the
money was supplied and he backed in.
Of course this is all wrong and
ought not to be. Some how or other
we ought to get the financial element
out Of our municipal campaigns. It
is in the National and state cam
paigns, though growing less promi-
nent under newspaper criticism, and
it ought to be banished entirely from
city elections. Yet it is a question
whether the direct primary has not
increased rather than diminished the
facilities Of ward bosses to hold up

A SOUND EJACULATION

The Caldwell News in its Wednes-
days issue administers sound flag
citation to the city council of Caldwell
and particularly to Councilman Ell
mer A. Clark. Mr.. Clark and asso-
ciates are reminded that they were
elected to Office through the efforts of
the News, and being the political
creatures of the News, that paper
feels a parental responsibility. Its
duty is to compel the present admin
istration to attend to the needs of the
community. If necessary the rod will
be pressed into service as the News
has no intention of spelling its off,
spring. The News ingeneously hand
ed the council few that the members
will not forget. In politics there is
no anathama so obnoxious as the
charge of being the creature of an
other A mans entire independence
of thought and action is tacitly ques-
toned when his political success is
attributed to another. The Tribune
would hesitate long before believing
Messrs. Gowen, Clark, Farrar, Payn-
ter, Devers, Gartin and Gipson, in
debted to success to anyone other than
themselves. Each of those men are
prominent in the affairs of Caldwell.
In business and as private citizens,
these men enjoy a reputation for
force of mind and character. No
one lays claim to responsibility for
the success of these men in the bust
ness life of the community; and we.
think they must resent the charge of
being the political offspring of the
News, no matter how honorable that
parentage might be. The flagellation
was more severe that the occasion
demanded, The council at the in
stigation of Councilman Clark turned
down the News printing bill. No
doubt the bill was just and lawful
one, but it seems that it had not been.
endorsed by the proper official The
council has adopted the rule that
claims must be endorsed by those who
incur the Indebtedness on behalf of
the city, and in this case this had
not been done. Councilman Clark is
entitled to no more blame than the
others. If he were he is not liable to
the charge that his success at the
city election was illegitimate. We
think on serious thought the people
will say with The Tribune that the
News castigation was undeserveo.
The Tribune is neither the sponsor
nor the apologist for the present city
administration, albeit it supported
this ticket at the election. 1t does
feel though, that it owes it to the
people to remind them of the facts
in cases of this kind.
