RELAY AUTO RACE
AROUSES MUCH COMMENT

Regarding the automobile relay
race against time across the conti-

dertaken, says:
Astounded and amazed by the CO.

Philadelphia to Seattle, the state OF
Pennsylvania yesterday found voice,
and a mighty chorus Of appreciation,
praise and best wishes to "The Press
for its undertaking arose from every
Pennsylvania city, town and hamlet
along the proposed route. Legisla-
tors. mayors of the cities, well-known
business men, police officials and
prominent atuomobilists throughout

Press racers not only win cross the

they will do much better. 1t is an en-
terprise that should receive the in

executives should see that the racers

EXPERIMENTING WITH
NEW VARIETY OF WHEAT

Although slightly skeptical as to
the ultimate results of the expert
ment F. d. Gaskill, one of the WE'LL
known farmers of the Grande Ronde
valley, is determined to encourage
every movement, however novel,
which promises to assist Mother Ma
ture in yielding, says the La Grande
Observer. The latest experiment
along this line Is that reported from
Russia, where ii Is claimed they have
| discovered a method OF tilling wheat
so as to take as high as seven tons
of grain from the stalks grown from
grains.
A friend of Mr.. Gaskell living in
Pennsylvania sent him some seed
and also sent full directions regard
ing the planting and tilling of the
ground. He did not, however, say
whether the wheat was to be planted
in the fall or the spring, so the ex-
pertinent has been started now and
will be tried, If successful, next
spring.
N'Si'iS ''NN'A uiii6 W hiSbA lN-
ceived Mr.. Gaskell has dug two fur
rows AZ inches deep and the same
distance apart In these burrows the
wheat grains have been planted AZ
inches apart one grain in a place.
When the wheat sprouts and stools
for the first time the plants will be
covered to a depth of two inches.
When the grain again puts its head
above the second covering, the cover
ing will be repeated until the ditch
or burrows have been filled even with
the top of the ground.
The theory is that with each COW
ering each sprout will send up three
others and by geometrcal proportion
it can be seen that the increase will
be enormous by the time the last COW
ering has been made.
While this experiment is purely in
the uncertain stage great interest is
being taken in its outcome. Forty or
sixty bushels is good" but if these
figures can be doubled it will be so
much the better.

Mr.. R0OuI and Socialism

A Florida subscriber ordered his paper
stopped because of the editorial, 'EKind
Words for the Socialists" The irate Flori-
dan wrote that he had no use for paper that
had kind words for ''that gang"
He did not read the editorial, evidently.
Daddy Jim, answering the indignant sub
scrlber, made the suggestion that he peruse
what followed the headline. [ hope that he
has done so.
The Socialists themselves don't like that
editorial bit. In fact, they find it detesta-
BILE. Several of the brethren have written me
about it. To say that they "cuss me out'', is
stating the truth with mild conservatism
One of them, young Mr.. Raoul of Atlanta,
is very much more even-tempered than the
others. He requests that his letter be pub
lished. You will find it elsewhere in this
issue. For the readers convenience, I have
cut Mr.. Raouls article into paragraphs, sep
arately numbered, and have put my reply to
each of his points underneath these numbers
Please "read after" me and young Mr.
Raoul, and then pass it along to some Social
ist who hasn't got blood in his eye.
And [ do hope my Florida friend will read
below the headline, just this once.

The Color Line q World Vide
Issue

The South African Constitution bill is now
on its way through the British Parliament.
In this Constitution, the whites exclude the
blacks from political privileges Certain doc
trlnalres in Parliament made an attack upon
the bill because it drew the color line.
Mr.. Balfour, ex-Premier of Great Britain.
defended it. One statement made by him
ought to be tunneled into the head of every
Negrophile of the North Answering the
speakers who pleaded for equal political
rights for the negroes, Mr.. Balfour declared
To gipe equal rights to the blacks qoou1d threaten
the aoho1e fabric of civitaatiom."
That is just what it would do. God made
them inferior, and the fanatics cannot i'm
prove on the job. The skull of the typical
negro condemns him to that mental, moral
and spiritual inferiority which was his lot
from the very beginning and which will be
his as long as that skull remains what it ever
has been.
Vardaman of Mississippi is right: the race

sweep the country if it would come squarely

The Washington 3D. CO. Post is one of
the great metropolitan dailies AS Mr.
Wititterly said about his wife, it "forms and
expresses vast variety of opinions on vast
variety of subjects'.
One of the matters about which the Post
formed and expressed an opinion was the Ru-
raj Free Delivery of Mail Sermonizing
upon this topic to the edifcation of mankind,
the Post declared that Picker of South Da-
kota was the daddy of the brat
Whereupon the Post received kind offer
from me to donate $500 to any Washington
City charity, provided the Post could estab-
l1sh by competent testimony the paternal
rights of said Picker.
The Post held it's breath for few days, put
sleuths on the trail, and finally came out with
an editorial, "Keep Your Money, Tom" Adj
hitting that the statement concerning Pick
Ter was erroneous, the editor fshed up Gen
Bingham, of Pennsylvania, and said that he
was the father of the r. F. d.
Of course that drew another vastly polite
note from me. [ told the editor that if he
would examine the Bingham resolution he
Postmaster General to experiment with the
r. F. d. IN tOa0ns and vizzoges, whereas my
resolution, year LATER made it compulsory
on the 7. M. 6. to experiment with r. f. D.
outside Of tOa0ns and vizzages.
This vastly polite but annoying missive
again caused the Post to breathe hard
After waiting some days while it could dig
for something to say, the Post pulls Webster's
Unabridged on me, and quotes the definition
of the word "village" AS I understand it,
the Unabridged is introduced for the pur-
pose of proving that the difference between
inside the village and outside of it is very
slight. This may seem so to man living in
Washington City, but the people whose
homes are strung along the lonely country
roads know better.
There was no such law in favor of strictly
rural communities until February II, 1898
Gen. Bingham was present when the Chair
man of the Committee of the Whole informed
the House that if my resolution were adopted
it would be new legislation. The General did
not contradict the chairman's statement, nor
did he speak in favor of my resolution.
Out of that "new legislation grew the
present R. F. D. system. P. NJ G. William L.
Wilson, who began the experiments, and Mr.
E. W. Machen, who developed the system, re
ferred to me always as the Congressman who
secured the first appropriation for it.
In the Peoples Party Paper of February
81, $685. was an account of the action of Con
gress; and the prediction was made that in
few years the Government would be deliver
