THE CORN CONTEST

II sometimes happens that it takes
a long time for a thing to take root
and grow.
Some years ago. in order TO stimu-
late an interest in farming among the
sons Of farmers a gentleman Of this
city offered a prize OF $40 in gold for
the best dozen ears Of corn grown on
d farm in this county by a boy under
.l6 years Of age. This patriotic citi-
zen did not have 10 pay the prize, al
though the offer was made in good
faith and the same was printed in all
the county publications.
During the year of the fair a still
larger premium was offered by more
persons than one and the offers en-
listed number Of contestants. and a
great rivalry for the coveted honor
ensued.
This year Or. J. c. Boozer Of the
Commercial Bank became very enthu
siastic in the proposition to increase
our corn yield and made three separ-
ate offers. to-wit:
First prize-$50 in gold for best fiji.
ty ears of corn grown by boy from
100 grains given by DR.. J. c. Boozer,
said corn to be exhibited at the Ma
rion County Fair.
Second prize-$25 in gold for any
farmer exhibiting the best twenty-five
ears Of corn of any type at the Ma
rion County Fair.
Third priests in gold for largest
yield from the 100 grains of corn,
grown by boy from seed given by Dr.
y. c. Boozer and exhibited at the Ma
rion County Fair

PROTECT CHILDREN

TROM newspapers published in all
parts of the United States we
Il learn the example of Los Angeles
in demanding a patriotic celebration
of independence day has had an ex-
cellent effect. Many communities have
prepared "old fashioned" Fourth of
July programs, public readings of the
Declaration of Independence, public
speaking, and parades and concerts.
A parade of school children carrying
American flags would be an effective
Fourth Of July demonstration in Los
Angeles or anywhere else, for the cause
of the children is slowly but surely
taking hold of the public heart, and
when this cause has gripped the public
heart the public conscience will be
awakened, and there will be a speedy
ending of all varieties of child labor
everywhere.
Moreover, the cause of the children
is one that should commend itself to
all Fourth of July orators In some
magazines recently published they will
find pictures illustrating child slavery
in various parts Of the Union-thank
heaven, not in California. There may
be poor children and hungry children
in California, but there are none of the
starveling, wizened-faced, prematurely
mature children Of eastern manufac-
turing districts.
On its sane celebration of Indepen-
dence day let Los Angeles call to mind
the first principles of Americanism.
and let our citizens renew their vows
to work for and defend the land we
love, and to do everything in their
power to bring about conditions under
which life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness shall be assured, and the
greatest good of the greatest number
secured.

GREATER LOS ANGELES

CONSOLIDATION has been helped
I loyalty and effectively by the Los
" Angeles Clearing House asso-
citation, which has adopted rules
preventing financial institutions in San
Pedro and Wilmington from being af-
fected, or, apparently, Disseminated
against. After the union of the cities
which together will make Greater Los
Angeles, San Pedro and Wilmington
banks will be able to clear through a
bank which is a member of the Los
Angeles clearing house. From the very
first, the Greater Los Angeles move
ment has been distinguished by what
we may call broad municipal catho-
licity. In the face of all the painstak-
ing efforts to give a square deal to
all the partners in consolidation the
charge that any partner seeks to be
predominant and to exploit the
others becomes unworthy of serious at
tention.
Citizens of Greater Los Angeles will
be united in a common purpose. Their
aim will be to make Greater Los An
geles the greatest and best city in the
west In order to facilitate this pur-
pose the metropolitan idea from the
first must be the principal idea. In
union of purpose is the strength OF
the consolidation movement. In the
united city "favors" and "discrimina-
tions" are not to be thought of. II
anyone should suggest that any part
of Greater Los Angeles is to be used
or exploited for the ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF
any other part of the city, tell him he
is either misled or is trying to mislead
you.
All talk of exploitation" is an inven-
ton of the enemy. Greater Los An
gefes and its harbor will be admins
tered for the good and the benefit OF
the people of Greater Los Angeles
Consolidation will end "corporation-
ism," and, emancipated from corpora
tionlsm, Greater Los Angeles with its
fine seaport will be the maritime me-
tropolis of the far west.

DENIES CHRISTIANITY is
DEPENDENT ON WINE

WHITTIER, Cal, June 24.-[Editor
Herald: In this mornings Herald C.
F. makes the remarkable assertion,
Take away wine and you destroy
Christianity, for you cut off the ma
terial basis which contains it," and
seeks to prove his wild assertion by
quoting John, 15:1, Il am the true
vine and my Father is the husband
man"
Nothing here is said about wine at ALL
but Christ uses the vine and its
branches to show the closeness of the
union of himself and his followers,
What kind of reasoning can possibly
be employed to conclude from these
words, Take away wine and you de-
stroy Christianity" With supreme as
surance C. f. then takes for granted
that always when wine is mentioned
it means Intoxicating wine. Now, if
he will admit that he is inspired, we
will accept his bare dictum and throw
up the argument, but 1t does not seem
to me to add anything to have c. F. IS
positive declaration. What straits he
is driven to when he compares "eat-
ing salt" and it's effects on the race
with wine, which even Shakespeare
calls Devil" When salt destroys
900 yearly and causes four-fifths Of
the crimes, wastes one-half of the
taxation, causes an expenditure of
5000, 100000 a year, incapacitates men
tally and physically 100000 people for
labor and business, causes three
fourths of the pauperism of the coun-
try, is responsible for the fearful in
crease in insanity and imbecility and
does no good to anybody" Con-
gressional report to congress of COM
mission of 1890.
Now, when he shows that common
salt produces such awful effects, 1 will
give him further consideration. If
Jesus, a divine teacher, made and
taught wine drinking, knowing the
consequences as he must have known
them, then he contributed more largely
than any other to the destruction of
the race he claimed to come to save.
But he did not. j. r. Allen follows,
and with infinite complacency takes
the whole argument for granted,
wines made in Christ's time were
Intoxicating" Who said they were
not? OF course some were, but some
were not, and the kind Jesus made
were not. If Jesus made intoxicating
wine and taught men to drink it, 1
ask, reverently, was he not a greater
enemy of the race than the devil? No
one was drunk at Cana. 1t was Il
company of Jesus near relatives, holy
people. and there is no intimation,
when properly read, that any were
drunk Few churches use intoxicating
wine for the communion sacrament
now. None should thus lead communi-
cants into temptation

DECLARES WOMEN DO NOT
PURIFY POLITICAL METHODS

LOS ANGELES, June 26.--[Editor
Herald: Vera Fidelia tells us that
people who have lived in Denver speak
in the highest terms of the purifying
influence of women in politics" Yes,
the "hen politicians" have been so
busy spouting hot air and the members
of the Womans club showing their
good clothes that they have not had
time to close the winerooms within a
stones throw of their club. These
winerooms were connected with the
saloons, usually a side entrance, and
were for the use of woman patrons,
also where young girls were lured to
ruin. Yet Vera has the nerve to tell
us that girls will be protected when
women vote She probably never heard
of the Anti-Saloon league, which has
done such noble work in the east and
south-where women don't vote Even
down among the colonels of Kentucky
there is hardly room left for the dis
tilleries.
But what of Colorado? The league
has been making an effort worthy of
the cause and with success anything
but hattering. If women have purified
conditions, why was it necessary for
the league to go to Colorado? And,
further, why has Colorado not led in
the crusade against vice instead of
bringing up the rear? Until recently
Denver was a wide-open town-the sa-
loon is still doing business at the old
stand.

CLAIMS LUNATIC ASYLUMS
WORSE THAN PENITENTIARIEs

LONG BEACH. June 27.-IEditor
Heraldl: Yesterday 1 received by
mail pamphlet containing the Cali
fornia lunacy law. This gift, for which
II am thankful, is marked so as to
show error in my late printed obserya-
tions on this law
A person charged with Iunacy can
nave jury trial, but not such as was
contemplated by Magma Charta or our
national organic law. Only after a
judge of the superior court and his
medical examiners have in their own
way, in fact, tried and convicted, can
the benefit of jury trial be obtained,
Then at such trial the accused per-
son has sort of chance to prove his or
her innocence Besides, the Jury de-
cides by vote of three-fourths. Thus
making 1t easier to convict for lunacy
than for crime.
The numerous sanitariums for the
treatment of our insane. which now
dot the California landscape, are as
much prisons as are penitentaries, and
at the present time conditions are
much worse in the former than in the
latter
careful reading of this law con-
v ees the writer that its title
should have been, AN act to promote
the prosperity of sanitariums which
provide treatment for the insane"
If the pernicious activity of con-
scienceless lawyers and peace officers
having an Unsuitable desire for fees.
mileage and expense accounts does not
provoke the application of remedies e.a
may expect that soon 1t will be-
poor, old, measly, California town that
does not have a sanitarium Whicn

FOOD SUPPLY

NHIEF discovery of modern times,
far transcending aviation or wire
~ less telegraphy in Importance to
mankind is that of Professor Bernth-
sen. The European scientist has solved
for the human race the problem of a
reasonable assurance of continuance
of supply of food products at moderate
prices along with the spread Of civiliza-
ton and the increase of population.
Bernthsen has announced the "tri-
umphant success" of his search for
dependable method of fertilizing land,
or restoring exhausted soil to food pro-
ducing power. He has shown that
nitrogen of the air can be utilized for
the production on a commercial scale
of nitrate compound, available for agri-
cultural fertilizers. Liebig, the founder
of modern scientific agricultural meth
DDS, was one of the first men to point
out farming should be regarded as
science. He showed the Importance OF
nitrogenous products in the economy
of plant growth, and condemned the
ignorant and unscrupulous use of the
stores in the soil without any regard
to the possibility of exhausting them.
Many farmers We're exploiting" the
soil recklessly. They did not know the
meaning of the word nitrogenous, and
would have laughed at the idea when
they were raising crops blindly they
were "fooling with" a science.
incidentally, a great new light has
been thrown on the extinction of an
cient civilizations. 1t is by no means
certain that all the great countries of
prehistoric or remote historic times
| perished because Of the degeneracy of
their citizens. There is room for rea-
sonable suspicion the population out
grew the food supply. The soil was
worn out and the country abandoned
after the population had been decimated
by famine The mystery of the longev-
ity of the Chinese civilization, which
has outlasted many that were "higher, -
is explained by the carefulness with
which Chinese cultivate the soil They
know, by instinct or heredity, many of
the facts concerning scientific cropping
which are now beginning to attract the
attention of Caucasian scientific farm
ers. The white agriculturist has little
cause to laugh at the Chinese truck
gardener, with his small but highly
productive, because scientifically
tended, bit of land.
In 1899 Sir William Crookes pointed
out that owing to the ignorance of
white farmers the world must sooner
or later face a prospect of a general
famine, unless chemistry could come
to the rescue and find some means of
replacing the almost exhausted prop
erty of fertility in the soil.
Since then chemists and physicists
have been trying to find a process by
which the unlimited supply of nitrogen
in the air can be used for the produc-
tion of nitrates for the soil. Professor
Bernthsen has succeeded, and an
nounces the annual output of his pro-
&C > will reach 10000 tons. He believes,
however, the need for nitrogen COM
pounds as plant food will grow so rap
idly there will be plenty of room and
opportunity for his process and other
processes to exist and grow side by
side.

EXPORT VALUES

TN THE fiscal year 1909 there has
been an unprecedentedly great fall
ing off in export values from the
United States In round figures it may
be stated at 5000, ,000, coo, about 800, ,O00,-
900 of which represents foodstuffs,
$9O,OOOOOO manufactures and 100000 600
cotton. The total imports of our larg-
est customer the United Kingdom, in
the ten months ending April last were
$123,00O,O00 below those of the corre-
spending period of last year. And in
nearly all the other customer countries
there was a marked decline.
The principal articles in which there
has been a falling off are cotton, corn,
wheat, meat manufactures of iron and
steel, manufactures of copper and man
ufactures of wood. Cotton exports for
the eleven months ending with May
show a decline of about S20,000,000 in
value compared with the correspond
ing months Of the preceding year. This
fall is due to lower prices, the quantity
exported in the eleven months being
$4,000, 900 pounds more than in the cor
lEHB AlOlANli0 VI LAiC pAGLGAAIl5
year
In wheat the fall in the value ex-
ported is $29, 100000, flour $11, 900, 900 and
corn s9,00000O for the eleven months
ending with May, 1909, compared with
the corresponding months of the pre-
ceding year. In these latter articles
prices rule higher in 1909 than in
1908. and the fall is therefore due solely
to the reduction in quantity exported.
In beef cattle the value Of exports in
the eleven months ending with May.
1909, fell $11 100000 below those of last
year. while fresh beef shows a fall of
81, 000 900, fresh and picked pork $9,000,-
600 and lard $4,OOOiOOO these reductions
being due in all cases to smaller guam
titles actually sent out of the country,
the prices being in 190S-09 quite as high
as in i9O7-OS.
Manufactures of iron and steel, cop
per and wood also show falling off
Iron and steel show a drop of s43, 900, 000
copper a drop of $21, 100000. lumber and
timber a drop of about $10,000,0 900, and
cars and carriages a decline of $4,000 000
Among all the explanations offered
for this economical phenomenon none
is more reasonable than this-it is at
least in part a case of history repeat
ing itself" Our nation has reached
that stage in the history Of protection
which was reached by the United King
dom before Industrial stagnation pro-
duced a tariff revision that was revision
indeed, and by a cessation of a policy
of exclusion Of the goods of the neigh
bors. procured for the home manufac-
tured goods a cordial welcome and a
fair price in the markets Of the neigh
bors and Of the world.
Many indications point to the con-
clusion our great commercial country
has reached a stage in it's history when
tariff revision is an absolute necessity
In order to prevent the production
of goods (which. excluded from foreign
markets. or undersold in them, will be
driven back ON the domestic markets.
