The article copied from the Grand
Forks Herald in which Mr.. j. w. Scott
of Gllby gives his experience with clover
is worthy the attention and careful read
ing of every farmer. Mr.. Scott is one
of the thinking as we'll as successful
farmers, and his talk on clover is of
much value. 1t will be noted that MIR.
Scott has the same theory as to the
real effect of manure on our land as that
heretofore expressed by this paper; to
the effect that the land does not need
manure for its enrichment but it adds
the bacteria necessary for the impregna-
ton of the seed and growth of tie plant
If this theory is true 1t means total
revolution in the old ideas of farming.

The following is from the last is
sue of the Hickory Times-Mercury:
"They are Boosting what the Dem
ocrats have made in the penitentiary
for the last eight years, while cotton
and everything brought good price.
They say they cleared about $4,000.
That's nothing; as we count 1t; the
Fusionists, under Cleveland, five
cent cotton rule, saved the State
$4,000 in two years. compared with
the years before It,"
Yes, they boosted about what a
grand showing the penitentiary au-
thorities made last year, and how
much they had been able to turn
into the treasury. But now the prison
authorities have asked for all the
cash back to meet running expenses,
and even the penitentiary bonds will
have to be cared for from some other
source. We said at the time they
were boasting of their surplus that

mir. TAFT AND THE SOUTH"

The Worlds Work, in an editorial
in the February number, under the
above heading, in discussing Presi-
dent-elect Taft's speech at Atlanta,
Ga, says:
"The task Is to make the Repub-
lican party in the South a sincere
party. 1t has been made up, in the
main, certainly 1t has been managed
by little groups of men held together
by spoils. They have not wished the
Republican party to succeed in the
South for, IL 1t were to succeed, its
leadership would pass into better
hands. They have traded In Offices
and in votes at national conventions.
This is the plain truth; and the
sooner that Mr.. Taft finds 1t out and
acts upon 1t, the better.
''If the fourth-class postmasters in
the Southern States were put under
the classified service and thus re-
moved from politics, and II the other
Federal Offices were given to men OF
character, whether they have been
Republicans or not, and II the little
gangs of Office brokers were disown-
ed at Washington, a Republican par
ty would instantly grow up. And
there is no other way for one to
come. 1t cannot be made to order. "
This is very plain talk and very
much to the point.
This editorial was unquestionably
written by Mr.. Walter Page, the edi-
tor of the Worlds Work, and the
man who introduced President-elect
Taft at the dinner Of the North Car
DINA Society in New York about a
month before the Atlanta speech was
made.
What Mr.. Page says is the view
point of every progressive Southern
man, who was raised a Democrat
who to-day believes in Republican
principles, and who would like to see
strong, progressive and victoriou:
Republican party in the South.
There are many reasons to believe
that President Taft has at last grasp
ed the true situation, and that he
will deal with it as indicated by Mr.
Page in his editorial.
Mr. Taft has already shown tha
he knows one of the great evil!
which must be removed by declaring
that the "old referee system" in the
South will be abolished. AS Mr.
Page so correctly says Republican
party in the South cannot be made
to order, but the conditions thai
stand in the way of Republican
growth must be removed, and the1
"a sincere Republican party of char
acter will instantly grow up"

WANTED MORE OFFICES.

The Wilmington Star asks some
pertinent questions in regard to the
proposed increase in the number of
Judicial Districts for this State. The
Star says:
During the campaign last spring
one of the arguments in favor of pro-
hibition was that it would lessen
crime and therefore there would not
be so much work for the criminal
courts; that the congestion of the
dockets would be relieved and the
courts be able to keep up with the
business on the civil dockets. Pro-
hibition was carried and put into eff
feet January LIST. When the supposed
lessening of crime and the relief of
the civil courts was to begin. But
along with the going into effect of
the law is raised the cry that we
must have more courts more Judicial
Districts and more judges; that the
sixteen Superior Court judges are not
enough. What has become of the ar
gument that prohibition would pre-
vent the necessity for this increase?
Either a mistake was made in the
statements last spring as to what
prohibition would do along this line,
or mistake is being made now in
demanding an increase in the number
of Judicial Districts and of judges. 1"
There is a strong suspicion that
the proposition to make new Judicial
Districts in this State was first start
ed in order to make jobs for party
pets who had failed to land else
where. In fact, in certain proposed
District the judge had been picked
out before the bill was even intro
duced in the Legislature to create
the new district. If the present
judges are to be paid 500 a week
extra for holding extra terms of
court it would seem that ought to
relieve the situation, wherever the
situation needs relieving.

No one will deny that what the
party has promised to do for the
trusts Is plenty.-Durham Herald.
But no one will claim that the
Democratic party has ever kept it's
pledge to prosecute the trusts. Until
the Legislature of two years ago,
they had no antitrust law on the
statute books. What was called an
antitrust law was then passed, but
it has never been molested since that
time. Not a single trust has been
prosecuted under Democratic good
government"

THE ERA OF GOOD FEELING.

1t Is announced from Washington
that the camp of the United Confed-
crate Veterans in Georgia have been
invited to go to Washington and
take part in the parade at the Presi-
dents Inauguration. 1t was further
announced that other Confederate
Camps, including the famous Whee-
Ter Cavalry, of Atlanta, the members
of which wear the old-time war uni
form of Southern gray, are also
planning to participate. This is
another expression of the good feel
ing that exists in the South toward
Mr.. Taft, and it is another move to-
ward wiping out the Mason and
Dixon line. We look for President
Taft's administration to be known
in the South as the Era of Coco
Feeling.
