The amount of labor required for the crop
itself was about 10 working days, with team
/ Y days. The sesbania used as green manur-
ing OH the west half of the potato ground was
given " irrigatiOnS. Bermuda grass more
over, flourished beneath the scSbania to such
an extent as subsequently to require q days
labor for cleaning up the .t5acres SO fertilzed.
Although the larger part OF the crop came
from the sesbania fertiized portion OF the po-
tatoes, this method OF enriching the soil
proved very costly, q days mans time and 3
days teamwork being required To put the ses-
bania under and afterwards get rid OF the
Bermuda grass. Nevertheless, the labor en-
tailed could easily have been managed by
careful farmer, as the Bermuda digging was
done in January when other work was not
urgent.

1t may be for this reason pa<er1 shat Mr..
Hearst declines the suggestion of his Sol
lowers. Even the most liberal Of spenderG
cannot relish being touched too boldly or
too often. Office gives no pleasure. even
to competent man. where 1t has been
obtained by the lavish use Of good money.
There are instances where men have OBJ
tanned high station and paid so heavily for
the campaigning that the dollar mark
represented their standing with the pub
lie. They would have been more influential
on public questions out of Office than in.
Another consideration in Mr.. Hearsts
case may be the fact that the glamour of
personal publicity has paled. For a man
of his years he has had large share OF
notice. The leader writer's, the para
graphers and the cartoonists have taken
him frequently for texts. and made him
known far and wide. Agreeable as this
experience must be at the start, it cannot
after few years produce the thrills OF
the earlier day. and notice, after it ceases
to thrill, is not worth the price of an ex-
pensive political candidacy.

Hearst and the Mayoralty.

Mr. Hearst declines. He will not &C
cept a mayoralty nomination this year.
He is opposed to Tammany Hall, and
that means his activity in the cam
paign, but whether as an ally of the
republicans and the independents, or as
a supporter Of a third ticket, does not
yet appear.
In the case of this man there mas
been a change Of judgment on the par,
Of the public in the past few years
His first venture as a political leader
was ridiculed. He hitched his wagon
to a star, and people thought it pre-
sumptuous. They could see nothing In
his offering for ii presidency but the
assertion Of a young politician with his
pockets full Of money.
Sweet, and valuable, are the uses OF
adversely. Mr.. Hearst took note of this
feeling. and set to work to make a
reputation" He became public
speaker. He obtained nominations. and
ran for high Office. He announced
policies. and discussed them, both in his
newspapers and on the stump. He

mocracy. and his organization of new

Still, Mr.. Hearst continues to pay the
penalty of his large wealth. While the

A Sprendthrift's Admission.

1t is the fashion nowadays
To show. with ardent eloquence,
That we who haunt the humber ways
Are ruled by ruthless opulence.
How numerous are the ills we name
For which the trusts are all to blame
How fine 'twould be If this excuse
Could serve for folly's every need.
And yet those tips that friends turned
loose
To tempt my injudicious greed
And leave me loser at the game
For these the trusts were not to blame.
The cash l gave the big hotel,
The large cigars l used to smoke.
The summer raiment pertly swell
That helped me on toward going broke
Regretful phrases bid me frame;
And yet the trusts are not to blame
While with glt-edge bill of fare
In princely fashion I made free,
The nearby multimilionaire
Ate oatmeal mush and envied me.
My plight is sad. But just the same
The trusts arc really not to blame.
'Tis hard to slight the general plan
And sound discord in the song
That mocks the great financial clan
Whenever anything goes wrong.
! own it with a sense of shame,
Sometimes the trusts are not to blame.

The Last Day.

This is the day on which sounds the
knell of the straw hat, yclept the 18th day
of September, after which all men who
fare forth under coverings of grass or
straw run the risk Of public contumely
and personal scorn. No law has ever
been written on the subject. Yet the un-
written law against the straw hat after
this day is more generally observed in
letter and in spirit than are many of the
formal statutes enacted by man. And this
is because many men are moral towards.
The 18th OF September may be hot
day, hotter than the 18th, hotter even
than the list, possibly as hot as the list of
August. and it will be a brave man in
deed who follows the line Of physical
comfort and wears his straw hat regard
less of the calendar. Even he will feel
at odds with the majority and an object OF
attention. He will be apologize to him
self when he looks about him in the cars
and on the streets and sees an unbroken
array Of hard and soft felts, even though
their wearers show signs of distress under
the beating rays of the sun. He will be
on the defensive when two or three are
gathered together and he is charged with
the crime of defiance Of the straw hat
convention.
Up in Wilkesbarre. Pa. is mayor with
a well-developed sense of humor but a
poor concept of ofiicial dignity. He is the
author of formal proclamation putting
the straw hat under the ban after this
day, in order to uphold the good name OF
that community as a center of fashion
and the home of mems fine millinery
Thus does the straw hat law gain the
semblance of an ordinance. No municipal
executive here has ever ventured to regu
late the personal attire of the District citi
zens. but none the less the gun that will
be fired at midnight will carry away the
straw hats Of all but the old guard Of

The District Business.

The decision to hold weekly meetings
of the board of Commissioners is in the
direction of development of the Dis
trfct government more strictly in Accord
ance with the original theory upon which
the commissionership system was estab-
l1shed A tendency has developed of late
years to segregate the District municipal
business into three distinct divisions each
Commissioners taking a share of the re-
sponsibility and exercising virtually in
dependent power within the limits of his
own subdivision. 1t has been frequently
suggested that while in the majority of
matters this was probably the best meth
cd of administering the local affairs, each
Commissioner being presumably capable
of rendering a trustworthy judgment on
routine items. nevertheless it involved a
departure from the doctrine that the
three Commissioners were by the original
statute supposed to act as unit
In the development of the separate
jurisdiction system the practice has
grown of conducting the intercommis-
sioner relations. so to speak, chiefly by
correspondence. OF late years the meet
ings of the board have been held only at
irregular intervals, to meet some special
emergency or to consider some excep-
tionally important case. Dockets have
been passed about from desk to desk for
Endorsements, and thus in a certain de-
gree the business Of the District requir-
ing the coincidence of at least two Com
missioners upon a certain line of action
has been done by means of balloting.
The free interchange Of views incidental
to personal meetings is to be preferred in
all cases of public administration to the
brief expressions Of official documents.
Half an hour spent in discussion at close
range will do more to focus issues and
elicit sound judgment than the covering
of a ream of paper with Endorsements.
1t was with this principle in mind that
the special committee appointed by the
Commissioners to propose changes in the
business methods at the District building
suggested that daily meetings of the
board should be held to facilitate the
transaction of routine business and to
lessen the amount of official correspond
ence.
Between the daily sessions suggested by
the committee and the old system of
holding special sessions to meet emer-
gencies or grave issues the weekly ses-
sion has been adopted as compromise.
The practice under this system will be
worthy of close observation, possibly to
furnish evidence pointing to the advan-
tage OF even more frequent meetings of
the board. The interval of a week be-
tween sessions will under the new prac-
tice throw a larger measure Of respon-
sibility upon the various heads of the
executive departments. who will report
directly each week to the board If this
practice results in the curtailment of red
tape and the speedier transaction of the
District business it will be warmly well
coined by the citizens who have relations
with the District building.

The President at Boston.

Contrary to expectation, the President
did not take the tariff for his text IN
Boston last night. He will touch upon
that subject later There are sections
more anxious about the operations of the
new tariff law than New England. where
free hides for one thing, and continued
protection for the cotton and the wooden
manufacturers for other things, nave
created feeling of satisfaction, not TO
say thankfulness. The President has re-
served his tariff talk for those who are
represented as disappointed in what Con-
gress has given them.
And yet the Boston speech has tariff
bearing. In declaring against the ef1ort
to array section against section. the Pres
ident rejected the charge that the east Is
robbing the west, and discountenanced
the advice that the west. in order to Sc
cure justice. should make a new political
alliance. His warming against that prop
osition was so strong it carried the name
of the democratic author.
The tribute to Senator Aldrich was of
like character. The President it is true
did not praise the senator for the latter S
tariff work but in the faith expressed in
the Rhode Island leaders ability and
patriotism he showed anything but agree
ment with those republicans who are de-
sirous Of and aiming at. breaking Mr.
Aldrich down. He sees much usefulness
in the SENATOR and halls him as the leader
in the Senate in an approaching contest
over a problem-the currency-which may
prove more bitter and more trying on
party lines than the tariff. Mr.. La Fol-
lette and his friends have no ally in the
White House In their program to drive
Mr. Aldrich out of the place he holds in
the councils of the republican party.
Nevertheless, much interest attaches to
what we shall hear from the President
when he takes up the tariff. His explana-
ton when he signed the Payne bill was
clear. but too brief to close the case.
The views then expressed admit Of am
pliication, and we should get that when
he faces audiences curious about the mat
ter.
The dominant note in the Boston speech
is that of unifier If the Presidents
advice is taken, the republican factions.
while laboring each for it's opinions, will
stop short Of party paralysis or dsrup-
ton. Much remains to be done. Only
one SUBJECTIVE tariff-of all those COM
mitted to the partys charge by last No
vember's vote has been dealt with. All
are important. If the party goes to pieces
now, as the democracy did between 1892
and 1896. the effect on the country will
be far greater in the way of disaster than
can be easily calculated.

Street Signs.
From the Hartford Times.

from the ftArtlUTu I IHles
An organized demand for street signs
is being pushed in Chicago. The Tribune
reports that SO far as markers of streets
are concerned Chicago is now worse off
than ii was thirty years ago. 1t Is n
fact at once deplorable and disgraceful,
that probably not one city in five in the
United States has an adequate and proper
system of street signs.
