DID WISDOM DIE AFTER 1874?

We hear much these days of the profundity of the men who framed the Arkansas constitution of "A. We are told by the opponents of any amendment or change in this docu- ment that these men were invested with the wisdom of a Solomon and a prophetic insight almost if not quite divine; that to alter the charter struck from their pen would be a sacrilege quite unpardonable.
 It is true that the members of the constitutional convention of 1874 were an able group of men, and the state was peculiarly fortunate in that try ing period of it's existence that so sa- gacious a body of it's citizens were called together to draft for it a new

fundamental law. But to surround them with a halo of infallibility and to say that these man-made laws, which were good indeed in their day and gen. eration. are eternal in their nature and insusceptible of improvement IS a thing too ridiculous for serious con sideration. It is to say that Arkan- sas has not progressed and cannot progress. It is to say that in the nroud march of the worlds events, Arkansas in 1874 reached the pinnacle of perfection and came to a standstlll.
 There are, it is true, some great moral laws that are as sound today as they were when written on tablets of stone at the summit of Mt. Sinai ; and there are also a few general po- ltical principles that have been ages in perfecting and that will live for ages vet to come. But there are in the constitution of this state, as well as in the constitution of the United States. provisions that are as archaic as the tribal laws of our barbarian Teutonic ancestors.
 The men who framed the present constitution of Arkansas, sages that they were, were neither as learned nor as sagacious and not more patriotic | ho ho of constitutional convention in the year of our Lord 1910 This nation has made far greater progress since 1874 than in all the years of it's history be- fore that time. The member of that historic body, for the most part, rode to the capital on horseback, for there were few miles of railroad then in the state. If their constituents in the remoter sections of the state desired to communicate with them, two or three weeks would have been required for a reply. None of them had ever talked over a telephone, heard pho nograph, seen an incandescent electric light or ridden in an electric street car. Automobiles, wireless telegraphy and aeroplanes did not then exist in the imagination of the most fantastic dreamer. And the world has pro- gressed since "A in political science equally as much as it has in invention. Many of the laws framed in that day have become just as outofdate as horse cars and candlesticks.
 There are always arguments against any modification of our state constitutions; but it is not an argu ment to say that the men who drafted it are wiser than the men of today.

AMENDMENT No. II, against which

AMENDMENT No. II, against which not a word of opposition has been spoken, should nevertheless not be for gotten. The amendment proposes to exempt from taxation for a few years such cotton mills as may be establish ed in the state. The fact that the south has sent it's cotton north and east to be manufactured and has paid exhorbitant profits for the finished product is one of the chief reasons why New England is rich and Dixie is poor. By this amendment capital will be induced to establish cotton mills in this state We are not re- ceiving any taxes from cotton mills now because we have none. We could not lose even if the mills established were never to be taxed, because the additional wealth they would create in their vicinity would make great in crease in our revenues. And the pe- riod of exemption proposed is only sev- en years. Vote for Amendment No. II. A failure to vote for it is vote against it.

DEMOCRATS AND GOLFERS.


 In recent years there has grown up in the Democratic party in Arkansas a tendency to bolt" or "scratch" the Democratic ticket in the general cleo tion. Many voters who claim to be Democrats, failing to secure the nomi- nees or defeat the candidates they de- sire in the primary election, seem to feel no hesitancy in voting independ- ently in the general lection.
 Before the advent of Jeff Davis in Arkansas politics, little was ever heard of scratching" and the bolter was regarded with scorn. We do not desire to blame Senator Davis, but the anti Davis voter, for this tenden- cy, for it was the latter who were largely responsible for introducing the innovation into Arkansas politics, thousands of them who had gone into the primary voting for the Republi- can nominee against Davis. Thus be- gun, it seems to have come to the pass that many Democrats regard themselves perfectly at liberty to par tieipate in the party's primary and then to vote as they please in the gen. eral election.
 We hear much praise of the inde- pendent voter in the north and west, and, indeed, it is the independent voter in those sections who holds the bal ance of power in national politics But these independents do not vote in party primaries In most eases, in fact, there are no primaries. The parties are ruled by leaders or bosses, who nominate their tickets, the rank and file of the parties having little or no voice in the selection of the noE1 nees. The average voter is thus fore ed to vote his choice in the general election.
 Tn Arkansas the conditions are vast ly different. The Democratic party is in control and ought to be in control of the state, and battles between indi- viduals ought to be fought out within the party.
 There are two good reasons why a Democrat should vote straight party ticket in the general election. In the first place, it is nothing less than dis honorable not to do so. When voter participates in a primary election, he tacitly pledges that he will support the men whom his party nominates. If this were not the case, there would be no use in holding primaries, and the whole matter could be threshed out in the general election. But this raises the second objection to inde- pendent voting, which is that it would simply throw the balance of power in the hands of the negro voter. And this objection needs no argument.
 The Democratic party does not al ways select the best men for every individual office. It sometimes makes mistakes. But, taken as a whole, it has always offered and will doubtless continue to offer, better ticket than could be selected by combination of black and white Republicans and dis gruntled Democrats.
 Every Democrat should vote the straight ticket from governor to con- stable.

DROUTH RESISTANT
ALFALFA VARIETIES

Drouth resistance of alfalfas is dis
cussed in bureau of plant industry bull
letin No. 1863, by ]. M. Westgate,
agronomist in charge of alfalfa and
clover Investigations. He says:
In addition to the variegated strains
Of alfalfa being harder than cores
ponding strains of ordinary alfalfa, it
has also been observed that the varie-
gated alfalfas are usually somewhat
more drouth resistant than the ordin-
ary variety. The apparent correlation
between hardness and drouth never
received an entirely satisfactory ex-
planation. The fact that the hardy,
drouth-resistant yellow-fowered alfal-
ia constitutes a small percentage OF
the parentage of these variegated
strains suggests the origin of these
characteristics. 1t is possible that
the smaller number of stomata observ-
ed in both the Medicago falcata and
the variegated alfalfa may offer par
tial explanation of the drouth resis-
tance, but it is difficult to see how this
would materially affect the hardness
of strain unless the growth be rend-
cred less succulent during the periods
of relative high winter temperatures
which sometimes occur. The Grimm
alfalfa, sand lucern and Baltic alfalfa
have all proved relatively drouth resis-
tant. In certain tests the Grimm al
falfa has proved drouth resistant in
North Dakota, Montana, Nebraska,
Eastern Colorado, Utah and Eastern
Washington. The Baltic alfalfa has
proved drouth resistant at Highmore,
South Dakota.
The following weights of hay are re-
ported to have been produced without
irrigation by Mr.. Paris Gibson, of
Great Falls, Mont, in 1908. Each
plot was one acre in extent and the en-
tire product was weighed. The hay
was weighed when in the usual condi-
tion for stacking and was not entirely
dry.

pounds; sand lucern (variegated), g.

ka dry land alfalfa, 4,700.

Kherson Oats.

The Kherson cat was brought from
Russia by Professor F. W. Taylor, Of
the University of Nebraska, in 1896,
and thoroughly tested by the Nebraska
station as to its adaptability to the
corn belt of the United States, accord
ing to Farmers bulletin 222, U. S.
department of agriculture, which
qoutes from Nebraska station bulletin
90 as follows:
"The climatic condition most favor
able to the growth of oats does not
usually obtain in the corn belt, and II
has been difficult to find variety OF
oats we'll adapted to this region. 1t is
a curious fact that although the great
corn-producing states are the largest
producers of oats, they are not states
in which the yield per acre is high.
An oat to produce well in Nebraska,
and particularly in the central and
western part, should be very early in
maturing and should not run to straw. "
Such variety was found in the Kher-
son government in Russia, where the
soil and climatic conditions (small and
uncertain rainfalD are similar to those
of the Great Plains.
The Kherson oat is vigorous, but not
a rank grower. The straw is very
short, the leaves are broad and expose
a laarge surface. The panicles are
spreading, i. e., it is not side oat.
The berries are light yellow, small,
but numerous, and have thin hull. 1t
usually weighs well to the bushel and
natures very early.
The results of careful tests of the
variety in different parts of Nebraska
indicate that it is peculiarly suited to
Central and Western Nebraska on ac-
count of its habits of growth. AL
though it usually yields we'll in Eastern
Nebraska, there are other varieties
that, in the river counties at least,
compare favorably with it. West of
that the tests indicate that it is earl
ier, yields better and weighs heavier
than any other variety, with the possi-
BILE exception of the Texas Red. 1t
has steadily outyielded the Texas Red
on the station farm. In the dry season
of 1901 it showed remarkable drouth-
qualities.
The indications, the bulletin states,
are that in introducing the Kherson
oats the Nebraska station has rendered
a great service to farmers of hatlarge
section of our western domain where
the rainfall is too scanty or uncertain
to insure good crops. of ordinary varie-
ties of oats.

Seeding Grains.

A recent bulletin on crops for dry
farming, issued by the experiment sta
tion of Montana Agricultural college,
contains the following regarding seed
ing grains:
The crops ought to be planted on a

can best be brought about by plowing
in the spring, following Immediately
