Fertilizers and AInnure..

Vi
The Ohio experiment, station has
carried on several series of expert
ments In the use of fertilizers and
manures on crops grown in system
attic rotations. In one of these experi-
ments, located on the farm of the
main station at Wooster, on a soil
peculiarly responsive to the action of
fertilizers and manure, there has. been
produced, from one of the treatments,
fourteen-year average increase to the
value of about $3.50 an acre annually
in rotation Of corn, oats. wheat,
clover and timothy. The cost Of the
fertilizer producing this increase has
amounted to 1923 for each flve-year rO-
tation, or little more than $3.50 an
nually, thus leaving net profit Of 81
an acre, OF enough to pay the rental
Of the land. know OF no similar
test in which results equal to this
have been attained for SO long a
period. But on the same farm, stable
manure, used on rotation Of corn, ex-
poets that in the average the increase
In value of the animals fed will pay
for the feed and care, leaving the
manure free OF cost. And this very
fact that the manure is looked upon
as a product that has cost nothing
leads to neglect in It's management,
sd that very large proportion Of the
manure produced on our farms Is lost
before It ever reaches the field.

It. while admitting that the demand

He has. therefore, sinned against

The Rising In the West.

The Rising In the West.
Mr.. William Allen White, of Kan.
sas is a keen observer of tendencies
political and has forceful way OF
falling what he has seen. What he
has said in the Republic about the
determined warfare that Western Re.
publicans have begun against Con.
gresham Cannon and his methods OF
ruling the House from the Speakers
chair only confirms news that had
been previously printed in The Re
public.
fractional war within the Republican
party in number ofsStates became
certain when their Republican Sena-
tors and Representatives voted against
the Payne-Aldrich tariff. All hope of
reconciliation was thrown to the winds
when President Taft, in his Winona
speech, huded the new tariff and prac-
tically read the insurgent Congressman
out of the party.
/ The Presidents speech was the sig.
nal for aggressive attack upon the in
surgent Congressman by the Republi-
can Organization in their several
States, and they are striking back at
Mr.. Speaker, who was the Presidents
ally during the special session.
Mr.. White has good reasons for his
conclusion that the war upon Cannon
ism is a war to the death. Mr.. Can
non and other leaders of the Republic

worlds market-place her attitude may
reasonably be viewed with concern.
The Aldrich-Taft bills provision that
wholesale values of foreign goods i'm
ported into this country shall be fixed
by American customs officers is the
particular item that gals the Teutons.
To-day's news that France will en-
force her highest tariff rates against
American goods after the expiration
of the trade treaty Oct. 81 causes no
surprise.
France views with disappointment
the higher tariff on her principal lines
of export to the United States. and re-
CARDS the maximum clause which in
creases the entire Aldrich-T Taft tariff
25 per cent ad valorem April /, 1910,
as practically prohibltory of all French
exports to this country.
All the countries Of the Mediterran-
can are hard hit by increased taxation
of their fruits and wines. Their ex-
porters are using every endeavor to
secure retaliatory action by their re-
spective governments. All Europe
seems to take the same stand as Can
ada.
Instead Of forcing European nations
to change their trade treaties and ad.
init the United States on equal terms
with the most favored, the Aldrich-
Taft bill seems more likely to be met
by indignant reprisals. Since these
countries purchase from the United
States far more goods than the United
States purchases from them, the re-
suit Of tariff war would be more Sc
rious on this side of the Atlantic than
on the other.

Senator Aldrich, Congressman Bou-
tell and other trust servants at Wash
ington may imagine that their under
hand and tricky methods have accom-
plished the aims of their masters
without awakening the suspicion Of
the people. If SO, they are much mis-
taken.
The people Of the United States
know that they are constantly and sys-
tematically robbed by the connivance
Of their representatives at Washing
ton. They realize that the Senate is
the head and front of this wrongdoing.
They have experienced the top-lofty
and sneering attitude of Mr.. Aldrich
and his fellow Senators regarding the
working and producing classes. And
Just as British liberalism is preparing
i to discipline the House of Lords the
American people are preparing to se-
cure some show of popular government
in the Senate at Washington.
Hereditary legislative power is
against public policy, no matter wheth-
er inherited from titled father or an
uneptitled trust. In either case 1t
comes of special privilege. Citizens
under any form of popular government
are fully aware of that fact.
Thirty-one out of forty-six States
have decided that United States sena-
tors should be elected by direct vote
of the people. Thirty-one Legislatures
have Joined In the demand that Con-
gress submit to the people a consti-
tutional amendment to legalize direct
election.
The day is fast coming when the
Senate will no longer be sovereign
body, debating to the House of Rep.
resentatives, but branch of legisla-
tive government, responsible to the
voters, as the trainers Of the constitu.
ton intended.
The temper of the people is unmis-
taxable. Direct election OF United
States Senators cannot be long de-
layed, and direct election of Senators
will do more than any other one thing
to hasten the downfall of Aldrichism.

Miss Eleanor Wrlghtforth, beauti-
full young girl living near Melbourne,
in the Australian colony of Victoria,
has for several years studied deeply
all the books she could obtain on hyp-
notism, mesmerism, oriental occultism
and kindred subjects. the London Tat
tier says. She has read of the wonder
full experiments Of DR.. Charcot, the
French surgeon who put his patients
In hypnotic state and was then able
to perform the most painful operations
on them without anmsthetics.
She learned how to hypnotic per-
sons herself and achieved very re-
markahe successes at It. Recently
when she paid a visit to the photo
grapher she fixed her eyes irresistibly
with the steady gaze that she had
learned by long practice to assume
and said: II will that the one who
secs this photograph and can read the
secrets that shine in my eyes shall
come to me whatever the distance or
obstacles that may separate us. u
Wiss Wrightford gave a few OF the
photographs to her woman friends.
none to men. Months passed by with
out anything remarkable happening in
connection with them, and she almost
forgot about the hypnotic expression
she had willed into them, until little
time ago. when she received lengthy
message through the photographer
from prominent Londoner who had

came into his possession from lady
