FINE CORN FIELD.
(Stanley Enterprise.)

Jonah G. Poplin, of Porter, has,
perhaps, the finest field Of corn In the
county. which will net him over 100
bushels to the acre. According to the
method of counting ears, his corn will
yield 125 bushels to the acre, making
all allowance for small ears. Mr..
Poplin followed his own methods,
thoroughly blowing his land, sub
soiling and working his crop. He
spent s12.35 per acre for fertilizers.
He ran two burrows IA inches apart,
when laying off, giving S feet between
centers. When corn is not SO thick
there are five ears to the stalk, and
practically all have as many as three
ears to the stalk. Already 600 bund-
les of fodder to the acre have been
pulled.

Mr.. John Sandy C~oVington, United

intended the measuring of an acre Of
corn on the editors farm on Monday
and reports 122 bushels of sheIled

appointed. He expected $50 bushels
at least. It's the finest corn he ever
saw grow, and others claim to have
made 226 2-3 bushels. We have never
believed that that much corn was ever
raised, and now we almost know it.
All the other contestants got out Of
the EDITORS way in this contest.
This corn was raised at a cost of

why then does Capital pause
upon the Threshold Of investment?
The answer we believe TO be plain.
1t awaits adjustments OF the rela-
tons of government TO business.
Such at any rate, is the plea, and
pressure is constantly brought to
bear upon executives and courts to
make haste-haste which, in our
judgment, would result in less
speed. Great complications grow
ing out of nightly changed condi-
tons call for the most serious
consideration. To settle a grave
question offliand is only to invite
disaster. Better not settle it at all
until a reasonable certainty can be
felt that it can be settled right.
Stability is ever Capital primary
requirement. But the adjustment
which it now demands cannot be
effected in a month or a year and
never can or should he complete.
Elasticity is the prime requisite OF

The Post Intelligencer from
this day forward will be an indie
pendent Republican newspaper
and its columns will be devoted tc

Politics will be treated in this
newspaper only in 50 far as it con-
Germs the specific aim and purposes
here stated.
"Thc PostIntelligencer will
not stand pat for republican
candidate merely because he is a
republican. The stern logic of
events has made it plain that the
people of today look to a newspaper
for broader leadership than the old
party organ could afford, and this
demand for independence Of
thought and opinion on the part Of
newspapers is too insistent, too
strong, too just to be ignored.
In politics, as in other things,
the manners and the methods Of
the day change, and we must
change with them.
Hcnceforth the Post-Intelli
gencers political columns will be
given to the advocacy of the meri
torious and beneficial reforms de
manded by the people, whether
they originate in the republican
party or not. Passing wilkins will
be treated as they deserve, but all
movements whose object is the I'M
provemcnt of the condition of the
people will have hearty support.
Candidates for office will be
supported by reason of their char

to which they aspire, and for no
other reason.

DIRECT PRIMARY
IS TRIUMPHANT

We are hearing much criticism,
mainly from disgruntled political
bosses, of the direct primary law.
This is to be expected The pro-
fessional politician will not easily
part with an institution like the
old party convention which gave
him SO much leaway. There he
controlled the situation just as Sc
curely as by leash. He dictated
who should and who should not be-
come candidates on his party ticket
If the people did not like it, they
were free to exercise their preroga
tive of splitting their ticket. In
Maine where their is no direct pri-
mary law, they did so. And they
made thorough job of it too,
cleaning out all federal office hold
ers and the state house.
In Michigan the direct primary
defeated Senator Julius Caesar Bur
rows, right hand man of Aldrich
and man who has been in con-
gress for thirtythree years. In
California it enabled the people to
rid themselves of the domination
of the Southern Pacific railroad,
for the first time in twenty years.
In Wisconsin it effected the re1lom-
nation of Senator Robert NJ. La
