President Taft may have been mere
ly INDUCING in pleasantly when he
told the Yale students that cit is Ger
tainly true that If the Republican
party does not live up to it's promises
and to what the people expect of it,
it will be relegated to position like
that of his majesty's opposition and
then again he may have meant to con-
vey hint to the Industrious gentle
men in Washington who are so busily
engaged in revising the tariff upward
in defiance Of party pledges of what
his position is likely to be in regard
to the tariff bill as finally passed
should it not meet with his ideas Of
Justice and fair dealing. "There is
many true word spoken in jest" and
his remarks may well give Senator
Aldrich and the high tariff majority in
the senate food for thought. The pres
ident has carefully refrained from Civ
ing any hint of what his action on the
tariff bill is to be and it would be con-
sidered highly improper for him to
do so before the bill is completed and
submitted to him for his consideration,
but the people still have faith that he
will do all in his power to carry out
his anti-election pledge for revision
of the tariff mainly downward and
his remarks at Yale show that he is
fully alive to the probable consequences
of any failure on the part of the party
to fulfill it's obligations. Coming
from the leader who will ultimately de-
eide the fate of the tariff bill his re-
marks have made deeper impression
than those of other party leaders who
have protested against the course Of
the senate leaders in dealing with the
tariff measure, but he has said moth
ing that they have not reiterated over
and over again since the session began.
When the eonstitutionality or pre-
else meaning Of a law is challenged it
is by men trained in nice controversy
and with professional pride aroused.
They are not hobbled by any considera-
ton of politics. They have their fees
in their pockets ana are guided solely
by the interests and desires of their
clients. They rejoice in any obscure
ties in the subject matter under dis
cussion and revel in technicalities.
Still, there is no way entirely safe
in the business. What one lawyer
may put together another may take
apart. New propositions develop new
lines of thought, and invite contro-
versy. And then after Congress,
which is always composed in the main
of lawyers, come the courts, composed
wholly of lawyers. It is no easy thing,
therefore, to frame measure bearing
upon any important governmental prob
lem so perfect in expression as to defy
criticism, or easily to overcome it

Drunken rowdies have been annoy
ing passers-by on the main wagon road
east of the Camp Logan rifle range
lately and it is claimed that these men
who have been impersonating officers
OF the law and raising rows generally
are soldiers from the range. It does
not seem probable that the discipline
of the camp is so lax that the militia
men are mixed up in this sort of work.
but If such is the case and their officers
cannot control them the civil authori-
ties viii have to take hand in the
game. Whoever they are they will
have to be suppressed and the road
kept clear. The crowd that tried to
hold up the party of Elks returning
from Waukegan the other night did not
get much change or beer money out of
that outfit, but it does not follow be-
cause the rowdies made mistake in
picking out their victims once that
they could not make it exceedingly IN

The beneficial effect of the agitation
for safe and sane Fourth of july
which has been going on with more
or less vigor for the past few years
is clearly shown in the cutting down
of the mortality list of the celebration
this year and while there will I'M
doubtedly be many additions to the
death list after the lockjaw cases have
had time to develop it is safe to pre-
dict that the number of dead this year
will fall far below that of any preyi-
GUS year since the more dangerous
forms of explosives were put on the
market. The apparent increase in the
number of injured is easily accounted
for by the greater care that is being
taken in the gathering of these stats
ties this year. Because of the great
Interest that is being taken in these
statistics and the desire of those
charged with the duty Of collecting
them to get the most complete returns
possible minor injuries are being re-
ported that would not have been taken
note of in previous years. And the
lesson taught by these figures is too
plain to be misread by anybody for
lin every city ID the country the num-

AFFIRMS BIG JUDGMENT
Judge Belden Orders Judgment in Srdt
of Nicholas Wade VS.. N. w. Ry

In the Circuit Court Tuesday morning
Judge Belden filed a decision granting
Judgment on the verdict in the suit
brought by Nicholas r. Wade against
the Northwestern Railway Company.
The jury returned verdict allowing
damages in the amount of $4,000. In
his decision the court stated that he
was inclined to regard the motions of
the defendant company with favor, but
that the question of the negligence of
the company had been clearly shown
and that the jury had settled the ques-
ton of contributory negligence. The
court stated that in making his deci-
sion he had taken into consideration
the fact that the train which struck
Wade was running at an excessive rate
of speed. It is probable that TIE case
will be appealed to the Supreme Court
by the attorneys for the railway com
pany.

Granting that the Council has a
right to pass any kind of a gas crdi-
nance which is question still to be
settled by the courts, there would not
have been the slightest use in taking
up the one sent In by that Philadel-
phia promoter in the form in which
at was presented and all the Council
could do with it was to send it back
for revision. The ordinance was not
drawn in accordance with the Wiscon-
sin laws and the Council would only
have been wasting its time in consid-
ering it in its present form.

GRADING the Seed.

After the corn has been tested 1t
should be run through a seed corn
grader. This will remove the irregular
butt and tip kernels and divide the
rest into several grades, according to
size. II the corn is we'll graded in this
way an edge drop planter will give the
best results. For kernels of different
sizes, however, the full bill drop is
preferable. The celebration Of the
planter is an important point If an
even stand is to be secured. By block
ing up the planter so that the wheels
are clear of the ground and running
through pailful or so Of each grade
of corn plates can be selected that will
drop the desired number Of kernels
ninety-fve times out Of q hundred.
These plates should be put With their
particular grade of corn in readiness
for planting time.
Preparing the Soil.
With graded seed of high sgerminat-
ing power and a planter properly cali
brated a good stand is almost certain,
The next step is to prepare the soil to
receive the seed. In sections where
there is any danger of drought it pays
to run over the fall blowing with a
harrow early in the spring. This crum-
bles the surface and checks evapora-
ton. 1t also encourages the weeds to
start, only to be killed by the disk
later. AS soon as possible after the
small grain is in the disk should be
set to work on the corn ground. II
there is time it pays to double disk, as
the soil is left in smoother and finer
condition. After disking the ground
should be narrowed occasionally until
planting time.
In many cases corn follows corn, and
the blowing must be done in the
spring. Spring blowing should not be

All the leaders Of southern thought
appreciate the opportunities which the
southern states offer. In agriculture,
in manufacturing, in mining, in trade
it is necessary only to develop the field
At the present time the south must
depend too much upon the north for
it's development. While southern men
are achieving success in northern
cities, it will be noted that to a LARGE
extent northern money is behind much
of the business activity Of the states
south of the Ohio and the Potomac.
1t is true that, in general, wealth NAV
not be amassed SO rapidly there, but it
does not require much to live com
fortably in that section, and certainly,
lif man aspires to intellectual and
political leadership, the opportunities
are relatively greater there than here.

for these honors is not relatively so
large. The governing Glass; especial

ton, is much smaller than in other

Der of accidents decreased or increased
accordingly as the ordinances for a
safe celebration were enforced or dis
regarded. In some cities where the
law was enforced to the letter the day
was not marred by single serious
accident. The neighboring city of Ra-
cine furnished a striking Illustration of
what can be done along the line Of
safeguarding life and protecting prop
erty by the enforcement of the laws

lslves Tor the Fourth, for with $4,000

day without serious accident due to
the celebration of the nation S birth

and one that every progressive city
in the country will strive to duplicate
next year. Considering that Kenosha

the police received orders from sthigh-
er up not to interfere with the viola
lions of the city ordinances on Satur-
day and Sunday the list of injuries
is small one. To the credit of the
dealers in fireworks it should be said
that they very generally refused to
handle the more dangerous forms of
explosives and in that way did their
part IN keeping down the number Of
injured. Undoubtedly the movement
for a safe and sane Fourth has gained
great strength from the showing made
this year and it would surprise nobody
to find those who believe that the day
can be properly observed without loss

inc. If all the kernels show strong
sprouts try a second test If this gives
the same result the vitality Of the seed
may be taken for granted. If some of
the kernels fail to terminate and 9TH
ers have weak sprouts the individual
ear test should be used.
For this select a box Of any con-
venient size and put into it three or
four inches Of moist sand or sawdust.
On this place strip of muslin which
has been marked into inch squares
Lay down as many ears in row on
The floor as there are squares in the
box. Take four to six kernels from
each ear, selecting them from different
parts, and place them In a square cor
responding to the number Of the ear
from which they came. Cover the
kernels with three or four layers Of
moist cloth and with some more Of
the sawdust or sand and set away as
before. When the kernels terminate
you have complete record of the vi
tality of each ear. Those in which
one or more Of the kernels failed TO
terminate should be discarded. Those
that show weak termination should be
put in pile by themselves. II there
is enough seed without them they
should not be used at all. If there
is not enough of the strong seed the
other will have to be used. By put

very deep, as it makes loose layer OF
dirt into which the moisture cannot
readily rise from the subsoil. AS a
consequence the furrow slice dries out,
and the growth Of the young corn
plant is checked. A disking before
blowing will cut up the stalks and
provide a fine layer which will fall
into the bottom OF the furrow and help
to restore capillarity. In soils that are
liable to bake, each days blowing
field at night. A little work at this
time will prevent the formation of
clods and save ten times as much trou-
BILE trying to pulverize them later
Three or four additional borrowings
will usually put the spring blowing
into first class shape for planting.
It is better to check than to drill
when growing corn for grain. as 1t
can be kept cleaner, with resulting
larger yield. For fodder or silage
drilled corn gives more tons Of dry
matter per acre and is more easily
handled by the corn binder. In some
Of the states west of the Missouri
river, where the soil is light and rain
fall scanty, listing Ives the best re-
suits.
The number Of kerpels. to use, per
hill depends upon the richness Of the
soil. On the average corn belt soils
three kernels per hilE Will give the best
results. Very rich soils can support
four, while ON poor soils two are
enough. 1t pays both In looks and in
ease of cuItiEating to drive straight
while planting and to take pains to
have the rows check straight cross
wise.
Cultivation.
AS many harrowings as possible
should be given the corn between
planting time and the time it comes
up. If heavy rains have packed the
soil or If it is badly, infested with
weeds twill pay to4foiiow the plauter
marks with the cultivator before mar
rowing.
AS, soon as the rows can he followed
the cultivator should, be started, If
any deep cultivation is to be given it
should be the first two times over, be
fore the soil Is filed with corn, ToOfs.
After the corn is six or eight dnches
high some, form of surface cultfTater
that will not disturb the soil to a
depth Of more than two or three 9neh-
es should he used. In the western part
of the corn belt, where the fields ARE
large, the two row cultivator is Ybecom-
ing popular. If the corn is Very
straight both, ways these cultivatoTs
work well after the first time over
and enable one man to handle at feast,
half as much more, land.
The problem Of cultivating corn
field several hundred acres In extent,
such as is found in many of the great
corn growing regions of the prairie
states, has been greatly sfmpl6ed
since the two row claltivator came into
use. With the perfect working, corn
planters now in the market the flows
OF corn may, be made SO straight chat
the two row cultivator can be used
without difficulty. This has brought
about a facility Of cultivation which
has added largely to the yield in many
parts of the country. Before the COM
ing Of the double row cultivator there
was danger that much of the land Of
the western portion of the belt would
become too weedy Tor corn culture.
