kn0x,s Side Of Crane Case

1t Is the universal idea that Char

Secretary Of State Knox, who recalled
him SO summarily as he was about to
sail for China. The opinion appears
to be founded almost solely on Mr..
Cranes own statements made before.
and after he resigned.
There is another side OF the case,
however. and it is presented by Or
vile H. Stewart. Washington news
paper correspondent who has made
the state department a special field.
Mr.. Stewart declares that Crane
was removed out of Difference to ia
pan. the man was so avowedly anti
Nipponese that it would have been
dangerous to have him represent this
country in the diplomatic danger zone
He did not evince any desire to &C

cedure of diplomacy. The writer con-
tinues, instead of taking the thirty
days period of instructions, required
of all new diplomats and consuls. to
familiarize themselves with questions
pertaining to their posts. method of
procedure, correspondence, etc, he
spent less than one week in Washing
ton, altogether and not more than
two whole days at the department.
Although given copy of the formal
diplomatic instructions on his first
visit, he apparently ignored them and
violated four paragraphs of them. in

statute.
In his New York speech Mr.. Crane
said his instructions from the presi-

statement he declared he was COM

lions nor credentials. He rushed

with Mr.. Crane, Ambassador Rockhill
and the state department officials

Mr.. Crane had cut short confer

during Mr.. Wilson's illness, when he
was to receive final instructions and
his credentials. On August 4 a con-
ference was held between Ambassa-

Crane and E. c. Baker, acting chief
Of the Far Eastern division. The de,
partment had looked forward to this
as of considerable Importance, but
Crane, fmpressing the others with his
conviction that he could learn moth
ing of consequence, brought it to an
abrupt end.

task of enumerating the mistakes OF
life is generous enough to limit them

5. Endeavoring to mold all DISPOSE

B. Clore. He is the corn king of the
world. A dozen years ago Mr. Clore
began to specialize in corn. Today he
sets the worlds pace in this cereal.
The Clore family very nearly keeps
house with fathers corn prizes. In
the list is everything from a manure
spreader to a piano, including watch,
clock, stove, mandolin, lawn swing, an
automobile, a quarter section of land
in Texas, and 81 900 cash prize. One
Of the incidentals is silver loving cup
valued at $1,000.
Mr.. Clore decided few years ago
that instead of spending SO much time
in improving their land the corn grow
ers should give more thought to i'm
proving their breed of corn. All his
efforts have been in that direction. In
a specially built barn he terminates
the corn in boxes of earth kept at the
right temperature in early sp ing by
gasoline stoves. Thus he knows be-
fore planting, what per centage of the
grains will terminate. Two ears Of
corn may look alike, but the vitality
of one may be much higher than that
of the other. Mr.. Clore is also a judge
of what it takes to make a perfect ear;
selecting the best ears each fall, and
planting the hardest G aims in the
spring, he has in a great way eliminat-
ed chance in corn growing. He rails
es from so to 100 bushels Of corn per
acre. The average this year is 80
bushels. This is about 20 bushels more
than before he began his experiments,
but, in addition. the quality of his corn
has greatly improved. What he has
done TO Indiana, where his methods
are followed. may be seen by the fact
that the average yield for the past 10
years is So bushels, while over the corn
belt of the United States for the same
period it is only %. Experiment sta
tons all over the United States are
sending to him for his high bred seed

breeding and planting. The Car has

The Homicide Sport.

From the Jacksonville Times Union.
The old practice of dueling in Ger
man universities was harmless
amusement compared with foot ball
as it is played today, and a great many
people are now asking the question:
Are the colleges and universities of
the land countenancing murder?
II they are, the state should not do
It, The game should be stopped until
those who play it eliminate homicide
from it. There is nothing gained by
way of compensation for the weekly
toll of victims unless the enjoyment
of those who wish to engage in brutal
sport and of the crowds that wish to
witness 1t are considered gain.
At any rate, If we can't stop the
homicide of football, we can quit talk
ing about the brutalizing effects of
bull fights, unless we value the life of
a Mexican bull higher than that of an
American college boy.
