It's a good rule not to take things
too seriously II is also a good rule
not TO cross bridges till you get to
them. But when the bridges are po-
litical we Americans hate to wait and
there are also some things which the
American people take rather more ser
iouslv than on the surface they seem
to. The bridges they are always most
eager to cross are the presidential
elections The people they take most
seriously. appearances TO the contrary
Notwithstanding are the Presidents In
esse and In posse. Another thing
they take seriously Is the matter or
personal loyalty.
II seems pretty plain that there are
people who seriously. though excited

term That. we suppose, means that
they propose him for the Republican
nomination in 1912. Suggestions that

been made. but they are not among
the things any of us can take Sc
riously. The proposal is that he run
as "A Republican, and that as a pre-

To say that Roosevelt made Taft presi-
dent is hardly putting the case too
strongly. For Roosevelt now 10 pull

In Roosevelt unless II is decided both
that Taft deserves ignominy and that
Roosevelt, of all men, Is the right
man To inflict H.
The only possible justification for
such a course would therefore seem 10
be that President Taft has in some way
basely betrayed some cause or prin.
ciples entrusted TO him. We do not
understand rhaf-he-wa -fert-tH-tbe-
White House merely as M Roose-
velts deputy. When the American
people elect a president. they pre-
empt his services for themselves The

Judgment. To have done SO would
have been TO act in bad faith with tho
people. with the country His only
commitments were 10 certain lines OF
public policy. and these he has pur-
sued in the ways he has himself
thought best. Any other course would
have been pusillanimous Those poll
cies are for the most part such as
Roosevelt himself proclaimed. but left
To be carried out by his successor.
Carrying them out is very different
business from proclaming them. Ii is
harder work. II takes patience. IL

ity II does not appeal TO the grand

what his predecessor did
OF course there is the tariff Taft

those who hold that by different tao
ties he might have accomplished more
and we think il just that he and his
party should suffer for the lame per
Torrance. But something he did ac-
complish. and therefore the one man
who can have nothing to say against
his performance is Roosevelt. On that
subject. az any rate. his lips should
be sealed For what he himself ac-
complished on this line during his two
administrations was precisely nothing.
The Republican movement for tarin
revision began with Mckinley. IL

again with Taft Roosevelt. who
abandoned tariff reform at the outset
of his career because il seemed that

Another nitrogen fertilizer. nitrate Of
soda or Chile saltpeter. which has
been secured from ancient deposits Of
guano. Is fast being exhausted. not
only by farm demands. but by the de-
mand for gunpowder. We must there
fore look elsewhere for nitrogen to
nourish plants. for soon the supply Of
natural nitrogen fertilizers will fall
short of the demand. says Harpers
| Weekly.
Now. certain plants have the proper.
ty Of absorbing nitrogen from the at
mosphere through the medium of mil
lions of bacteria which gather the free
nitrogen from the air, and this nitro
gen can be used in place of expensive
commercial fertilizers. The most bene-
| fetal nitrogen gathering bacteria form
| excrescences called "nodules" on the
roots of certain plants of the pod
bearing family. These plants are call
ed legumes and include clovers, peas.
beans, alfalfa. peanuts. etc. These
bacteria have one function only to per-
form-they form copartnership with
the plant 10 supply it with nitrogen.
They gather In great numbers on the
roots Of legumes, forming nodules,
which are large colonies of bacteria
stored with nitrogen. In exchange for
sugar food which the legumes give the
bacteria and on which they thrive the
bacteria gather nitrogen from the air
and feed it to the plants as desired.
The plant by giving per cent Of sugar
receives 05 per cent of nitrogen from
the bacteria. When roots Of legumes
die in the ground the nitrogen which
the bacteria have already gathered and
stored in these little punches or nodules
on the roots is given TO the soil. which
Is then rich in nitrogen. When the
next crop is planted in that soil, no
matter what crop it may be. nitrogen
Is there-the more nodules the more
ers advantage. TO the advantage Of the
world, to encourage the increase in
growth of these nodules.
The more nodules that are formed on
the roots the more nitrogen is fed to
the plant. and this makes the plant
grow more healthily. makes the foliage
deeper in color. more abundant and of
greater food value. the roots stronger
and longer and the stalks taller and
sturdier.
Experiments in transferring nitrogen
rich soil from some sections of the
country where these bacteria flourish
to new localities. to mix with worked
out soil, have been made. Sometimes
the experiment is successful. More Of
ten, however. some harmful ingredient
Of the soil is also spread to the new
soil. The only safe way is to apply
healthy bacteria direct TO the seeds Of
the crop before planting-to inoculate
the seeds with bacteria which will
gather nitrogen from the air to feed
70 the growing roots.
When every farmer whose soil lacks
nitrogen employs the aid of bacteria
there will be wonderful increase in
size and weight of crops: there will be
wonderful increase in the protein
value Of food for cattle. which will
make for increased food value for
man,
