Cooper Want. Turner Mayor


E. P. Cooper. for several months acting
mayor of Admission and mayor pro tenn
under the Kilby administration, which
made a statewide reputation for aw-en-
forcement, civic righteousness and munich
pal Improvement, gave an equivocal an
swer when asked Monday morning II he
would be candidate for mayor Of Annis-
ton in the coming primary election He
said, however. that he would favor E. L.
Turner should the latter decide to make
the race. Mr.. Cooper spoke further
against the election to be held this month
for the issuance of bonds to relieve an
outstanding floating indebtedness against
the city, drawing upon his experience as
an alderman in support of his conten-
ton.
II am in favor of a bond issuance OF
$4,000 for school Improvement" said Mr..
Cooper, but my lessons in municipal af-
fairs lead me to oppose the proposed is
suance of $4,000 in bonds to take up the
floating indebtedness With the excep-
ton of the finance committee. the aver
age city council has comparatively undue
regard for the citys interests. and as
long as the city Is in debt they will be
more conservative about making appro-
priations than they are when the city is
out of debt. If this issue should carry
it would be but short time before the
city would be in debt again, and l think
it in the interest of economy that 1t be
defeated.

Some time ago a report was sent out
from Washington to the effect that Con-
gresham Craig had prevailed upon the
| revenue department to send two addition
al officers from headquarters to Calhoun
county, but no one seems to know the
cause for this action nor the origin or
the report. United States Commissioner
G. B. Randolph and Deputy Collector w.
w. Battle were seen Monday morning and
asked about the report. They both dis
claim any knowledge of its origin and
both say that they are unaware of the
fact If the officers have been sent, though
they would both like to see them very
much, they say.

ON CHARGE OF LIBEL
Secretary Of Merchant Marine
League Arrested

Washington, April 6.-There was a
sensational turn in the house inquiry
into the ship subsidy scandal when
John A. Penton, secretary Of the Mer-
chant Marine league, was arrested on
an indictment charging criminal libel,
based upon charges preferred by Rep
resentative StsenersOn of Minnesota,
author of the resolution under which
the Olcott special committee is inves-
tigating allegations that two lobbfes
are at work, one to further subsidy
legislation and the other to put OBJ
stacies in it's way. Mr.. Penton had
Just concluded testifying before the
special committee and was leaving
the house Office building when he was
taken into custody by two local detec-
tives. He was conducted to the Office
Of the United States attorney, where
he gave bail in the sum OF $500.
In his testimony before the house
committee Mr.. Penton practically as
sumed responsibility for the state
ments in the American Flag rejecting

SteenersOn.

tact; hence the wisdom or one famous
authOrity's rule to put your foot on
everything you SOW. If the soil is
wet this firming is inadvisable, but if
dry it is quite necessary.
The depth Of the covering is gov
erned largely by the size Of the seed.
Generally seeds may be covered to
depth equal in thickness to the length
Of the seed. Very small seeds should
not be covered at all, the better plan
being to shade them for a few days
with papers to hasten termination.
Each class of seeds has its own
germinative temperature requirement.
Some, like the sweet pea, sprout when
the frost is hardly out Of the ground,
whereas other kinds require good
warm soil, and the seed will rot If
planted too soon. The habitat of the
plant will usually give one a clew in

JURYMAN WAS NOT QUALIFIED
Attack Made on Graft indictments at
Pittsburu.

Pittsburg, April 5.-The trial of
councilmen indicted in the recent
fraud exposures has begun. Two for
mer councilmen pleaded no defense.
Many others under indictment failed
to answer their names when the trial
list, comprising forty-two cases, was
read and deputy sheriffs were sent out
to bring them in.
Interesting legal procedure is in
volved by the question raised by one
of the defense attorneys, who asked
for quash ruling on the indictments
against his client on the grounds that
Foreman Harrison Nesbit of the grand
jury, formerly a national bank exam
iner, is not a qualified electoT and not
qualified to sit on jury in this state
If Mr. Nesbit is proved to be a resi-
dent of the District of Columbia, as
contended by the defense, a ruling
quashing all indictments brought by
the graft investigating grand jury to
date is not unlikely.

BLAMES THE METHODlSTS
PapaI Delegate Faiconio Discusses
Roosevelt Incident

Washington, April 5.-Sharply criti-
cising the work Of the Methodist
church in Rome as insulting agitation
and offensive proselytism, which con-
Stitute real warfare against the pope
and the Catholic religion" Mgr. Fal-
COMO. papal delegate to the United
States, commented upon the Roose-
welt incident with the Vatican. The
papal delegate declared that neither
tn pope nor the cardinals secretary
tate was to blame for the situa-
/ which he described as the in
toler&ble condition created for the
holy see by the Methodists in Rome"
In the case of Colonel Roosevelt,
as Of Mr.. Fairbanks, it was not at all
a question of religion, but of the self
respect and dignity of the apostolic
see. Colonel Roosevelt could have
gone to any other Protestant church
in Rome, and even, as would have ap-
peared from reports, to the MethO-
.dists, after his reception by the pope"

Platform Adopted by Indiana Re-
publican Contention
BEvER|OGE ASSAILS MEASURE
Senator'S Reputation of New
Law Loudly App|auded.

Indianapolis, April 6.-The Indiana
Republican convention adopted a plat
form that ignores the Payne-Aldrich
tariff law and declares for only a pro.
teetive tariff that covers the differ
snce of cost of production here and
abroad"
The policies of Roosevelt and the
administration of Taft were endorsed.
Enthusiastic support was given Sen
ator Beveridge.
The following nominations were
made by acclamation, there being but
one candidate for each office:
Secretary of state, Otis e. Gulley Of
Danville; auditor of state, John E.
Reed of Muncie; clerk of supreme
court, Edward v. Fitzpatrick of Port
land; state statistician, John L. Peetz
Kokomo; state geologist, w. S. BIatch-
ley of Terre Haute; judge of supreme
court, Second district. Oscar H. Mont
gomery of Seymour; appellate judges.
Ward H. Watson of Charlestown and
G. c. Hadley of DanVille.
When United States Senator Albert
J. Beveridge, in his speech as tenn
porary chairman, declared his aptag-
onism to the tariff law passed at the
preceding session of congress his
periods were marked by storms of
applause from the delegates and the
crowded galleries in Tomlinson hail.
Arraignment of Tariff Law.
Repeating as a text, 81 could not
stand for it then and l cannot stand
for it now," Senator Beveridge made
an impassioned defense of the counts
upon which he had based his vote in
the senate against the Payns-AIdFich
tariff bill, which he did not cali by
name. In part he said:
Like President Taft [ wanted free
iron ore, of which we have the great
est deposits on earth and which the
steel trust chiefly controls. could
not stand for the duty that was passed
and cannot stand for 1t now.
Like FF0SIuouC L alt wanted many
raw materials that needed no protec-
tion put on the free list Yet only@one
was so treated. | could not stand for
the duties on these articles and can.
not stand for them now.
Like President Taft 1 wanted the
ancient woolen schedule reduced. 1t
gives to the wooden trust unfair Fc0n2
troll and raises the price and reduces
the weight of the peoples clothing, |
stood against this schedule when the
bill was passed and stand against it
now.
81 could not stand for the duty on
lumber when the tariff bill was passed
and cannot stand for it now.
Il was for law that would have
protected the wages of every working
man in Indiana and yet enable that
to get his clothing cheap
such law could have been
written and it shall be written"

Ex.PresiGent Desired Freedom Of
Conduct While in Rome.

Rome, April 5-The audience which
1t was believed former President
Roosevelt would have with the pope
did not take place, owing to cOndi-
tions which the Vatican imposed and
which Mr. Roosevelt refused to accept
The communications regarding the
proposed meeting, which have just
been made public, are, briefly, as fol-
lows:
From Gondakoro Mr.. Roosevelt
wrote to ]. G. A. Leishman, United
States ambassador to Italy, saying
that he would be glad of an audience
with King Victor Emmanuel and Pope
Plus. King Victor Emmanuel at once
granted the audience, but the pope
did not.
Mgr Kennedy, rector of the Ameri.
can Catholic college, finally said the
pope would be delighted to grant Mr..
Roosevelt audience April 5, adding,
''and hopes that nothing will arise to
prevent it such as the much regretted
incident which made the reception Of
Mr.. Fairbanks impossible"
In view ut the fact that Mr.. Roose-
velt's other engagements in Rome
were limited to the audience with the
King of Itaiy and dinner given in his
honor by the municipality he declined
TO make any sttpulations or submit to
any conditions which would in any
way limit his freedom of conduct
Mgr. Kennedy again notified Ambas-
aador Lsishman that the original con-
&jttons were insisted upon.
Mr.. Roosevelt then notified Mr.
IsiShman that the proposed presenta-
$Sn could not take place. To the Out
I3ok he wired:
II am sure that the great majority
Of nay fellow citizens will feel that
acted in the only way possible for an
American to act"

this regard. Plants from cool regions
or high attitudes usually start early,
and those from warmer regions should
not be planted until later.
AS the seeds begin to sprout it is
we'll to go over the surface Of the bed
with a rake and break the crust for
the purpose of assisting the young
plantlet in getting through.
Competition should be eliminated by
keeping the weeds down and by thin
ming out. Overcrowding means weak,
spindly plants. Give plenty Of room
and sunlight if you want your plants
to thrive.

SOWING FLOWER SEEDS.
Get the Best and the Freshest-Firm-
ing the Soil.


To secure good stand the first
requisite is first class seed. Flower
seeds are generally smaller and more
delicate than farm seeds, and the pur-
chase Of poor grades at bargain rates
is usually a waste Of time and money.
Plant only strong, fresh seed. Usually
the highest priced is the cheapest.
The next step is the preparation Of
the seed bed. See that the soil is
thoroughly mellowed. The first stage
in termination is the absorption Of
water. The rate Of absorption is de-
termined by the number of points Of
contact between the seed coat and the
soil particles. Firming the soil null
tIplies the number of points of con-

A. R. MERRITT.

Among the several Republican
nominations to be made at the primary
election wherein there will be a con-
test and where the public must make a
choice are those of assemblymen.
There are three candidates and two are
to be chosen. w. II. Williams, the
well known rancher, brother of ID. +.
Williams, editor of the Churchill Coun-
ty Eagle, is one and A. r. Merritt is
another. A. r. Merritt's career is a
remarkable one and reads like chapter
from the Arabian Nights. At one
time part owner of the largest and
richest iron mine in the world. he is
today a farmer in this valley. Years
ago he was interested in the famous
iron mines of Minnesota and during the
decentralization following the financial
panic of Cleveland's administration,
the Standard Oil crowd forced him out
and grabbed the property. Today
Merritt Is performing agricultural
wonders in this great valley. We can
truthfully say he is the Luther Burbank
of Nevada. He has demonstrated,
despite numerous obstacles, the fer
tility of our soils and the wide range
of adaptative products, and that in
,ensivc farming is practicable. He is
intellectual and as a platform speaker
has both experience and ability.
Mr.. Merritt's life time endeavors
having been equally divided between
farming and mining, makes him par
tIcularly conversant with both in
dustries, and places him in a position
to know the legislative needs of these
branches of industry, i both of which
seem promised long and prolific life
in this county.

Professor r. H. Fetter, the new
principal of the Churchill County High
School, accompanied by Mrs. Fetter
and their two children arrived in Fallon
Thursday from their former home at
Parker's Landing, Pa. Something like
three weeks were consummed in the
trip across the continent, stops being
made in Missouri, Kansas. Colorado and
Utah. Professor Fetter expressed great
surprise at the resources OF this valley,
and sees advantages here not to be had
in other sections, where the science of
irrigation has not reached the stage of
development that it has here. He be-
lieves the county high school will have
successful year and certainly seems
to be type of principal who can bring
the school to the highest possible effic-
iency.
The Fetters have secured the Binck-
ley concrete block residence and are al
ready located there. High school will
commence Monday, August Goth, at
which time Misses Beth M. Portlock, an
Iowa young lady, and Ernestine Sweet,
a young lady hailing from Vermont, as
sistants to Professor Fetter, will be
here and assume their duties.

N IMPORTANT DECISION
Having To Do With the Twenty
Two Dollar Water
Rate.

q. w. Latin received notice last
week of decision rendered in his
favor by the secretary of the interior,
that will establish precedent favorable
to settlers within government irriga-
tlon projects. The decision has to do
with the S22 government water rate,
and the history of Mr.. Lattin's case is
substantially as follows: During the
year 1909 he filed upon a homestead
claim south of town, taking the re-
linquishment of the prior entryman,
who had never paid construction
charge installment. Mr.. Latin was
given TO understand by the Carson land
office that the assignment of the first
entryman's water application was
perfectly legal and regular and he was
firm in the belief that he had been
accorded tne old rate of water charge,
when the commissioner of the general
land office reversed the Carson land
officials and ruled that the first entry
man was delinquent and as consequence
had no equity for transfer. inasmuch
as he was at any time subject to
summary cancellation. Mr.. Latin.
being both newspaperman and a
lawyer, the first named profession
develops obstinacy while the other has
to do with knowledge of the law,
fought his case into Secretary Bal
linger's hands, who reversed his land
Office commissioner and rendered an
opinion that Mr.. Latin was entitled to
the S22 rate, as he first believed. The
opinion was based on the
ground, however, that the first named
entryman was not delinquent. Mr..
Latin contends that the scope of the
ruling should be extended to include
all water rights, whether delinquent or
not, for the reason that it is a rule of
law as old as law itself, that equity
exists until it is actually annulled.
