GAYNOR SKINS HEARST

Mayor Gaynor as the guest of
honor at the annual dinner of The
Associated Press and the American
Newspaper Publishers in New York
Thursday night nearly created a
riot by attacking w. R. Hearst.
Seven hundred guests sat at the
table, when the Mayor rose to
speak. He said:
"You have given me the subject
''The press in its relation to public
officials and told me to speak plain
ly and freely. That is what you
want. You have told us your
object in associating together is to
improve the press.
'Those having power should ex-
ercise it justly, kindly and mode
rately. That makes their acts all
the more effective.
Il measure my words in saying
your power for good is great.
Your power for evil is not as great
as some may think. That is es-
pecially so when any of you deliber-
ately try to do evil by falsehood or
mere scandal.
''The public official who tries his
best to do right, and who knows
how to do right (for both these
essential things do not always exist
in the same public Officially cannot
be hurt by you. Some may abuse
him, even lie and forge about him,
but they are powerless to hurt him.
You can either make nor unmake
an honest and competent Official.
THE press as whole, is just to
public officials. When the election
is over, its wholesome wish is to see
the one elected given good govern
nent and to help him do so. In
that just frame Of mind you often
forbear much. This is true of all
honest and unselfish publishers and
editors. But if the publisher or
editor be himself perennial office
seeker he may desire to assassinate
every one he thinks in his way and
then, alas, what a disgrace he
brings upon journalism. 1t is pain
full to mention such exceptions, and
TO speak Of their acts, but we should
not shrink from doing it in kindly
spirit and for the sake of good.
3eD expect me to be plain and not
abate a jot or. title. A news
paper proprietor or editor who is
simply bent on cutting the Goals is
an awful spectacle. In no nook or
corner of his head or his heart, is
there a slightest sense Of truth or
Justice.
"Let me illustrate by mentioning
one thing out of many. AS late as
the fifteenth Of this month, w. r.
Hearst printed in his principal
newspaper here the facsimile of a
draft on the treasury of the city for
$4,000 with headlines and an
article attributing such draft and

amount and paid it and the draft
of the treasurer is printed to prove
it. But when you look at the draft
as given in the article chow few
people scrrtinized it Closely, you
perceive the date of it is left blank.
l have brou yht it here as printed in
this newspaper to show it to you,
and here it is. When you look at
the original draft, which 1 have also
brought here for you to see you see
the date of it at the top in large
letters and figures as December 81,
1909, which is before the present
city government came in. When
you examine the said original
further you see it also bears plainly
the date audited and vouched which
established the claim as a legal
liability of the city, was recorded
in the comptroller's Office, December
20, 1909. This date is also omitted
in the newspaper copies as you per-
ceive. In plain words two state
prison felonieS, namely forgery and
classification Of a public document,
were committed in the eargerness
of this publisher to wrong the
mayor of the city of New York.
Gin a day or two afterwards,
when he had heard rumors that the
grand jury we're taking notice of
the matter, he published as an ex-
cuse, that the dates were so faint in
the original draft the photograph
did not reproduce them. Now just
look at the original draft. The
date at the top, as you see, is in
larger and more pronounced lett ers
and figures than any part of the
draft. / had the draft photo
graphed as a test and here is the
photograph. You see that shows
the date as plainly as any other part
of the draft. But if it were true
Mr.. Hearst's. p Geographic apparatus
would not reproduce the dates, why
should he print the draft without
dates? Why did he not put them
in in some way? The truth is am
assured, that the dates were act
ually cut out of the plate with
routing machine. An inspection of
the draft as lately printed also
shows that to be the case, as you
see, in respect of the date of De-
cember 20. ....
"Now do not call your attention
to this low crime because it annoyed
or embittered me in any way.
Il need not say to you that the in
debtedness for which this draft was
drawn was inc@rrcd several years
before the present members of the !
city government were elected, and !.
was audited and made fixed and !
legal obligation Of the city before
we took office, instead of any of us
fixing the award as this article
says. Probably l never would
have seen the publication of this
draft had not an official brought it
to me last Friday and pointed out
the draft to me. | mentioned the
matter to you because right here
is where it should be mentioned.
And let me add that it concerns
you, the publishers and editors of
decent newspapers far more than
it concerns me. If you can stand

Lime For Peanuts.

+" HE BEST PEANUT soils in the South are
M deficient in the mineral matters especially
- needed by peanuts. phosphorc acid and
potash. The peanut plant. being a legume. can
get its nitrogen from the air. and when the min
eral elements are abundantly supplied needs no
application of nitrogen in the fertilizer. This is
especially true when good rotation OF crops Is
practiced and the soil Is supplied with humus-
making materials from cowpeas and crimson
clover.
Lime Is useful TO peanuts solely because Il re-
leases insolube potash In the soil. and this being
already deficient in the best peanut soils tho -
feet OF lime in the long is to deplete the soil
OF potash. Whore the plants can get abundant
supplies Of phosphoric acid and potash lime is not
needed, except the soil gets into an acid condi-
ton. Plaster viii also release potash and as
there is 80 pounds Of plaster or suphate OF ll.le
IN every 100 pounds Of acid phosphate heavy
application OF acid phosphate will do as much for

Lime viii be useful In soil that has large
amount Of humus and has gotten into an acid con
diuon but pops are not the result Of the lack Of
lime, but Of the lack Of phosphoric acid and pot
ash which essential to the formation OF the
seed.
This refers especially 20 the soils OF the Allan
tic Coast region. In tho Gulf States where most
soils seem TO be we'll supplied with potash there
Is a probability that acid phosphate will be the
only fertilizer needed for peanuts though It would
be we'll for farmers there TO experiment with lime
on the land that Is put in peanuts.

it is put there very thinly. And yet that will be
about equal to the { pounds Of ammonia in the
200 pounds of S-2-2. A ton Of the S-2-2
will contain 81 pounds of actual nitrogen. a
crop of crimson clover turned under mature viii
give you from 40 to 80 pounds an acre of nitro
gen, or far more than you would get in a whole
ton of the S-2-2. Yet you will pay hard cash
to the tune of nearly 81 for the nitrogen in the
ton of fertilizer, when the clover will give YOU al
most twice much and will add humus to the
soil. Thousands are using little over three
pounds of actual nitrogen when they could have
turned under TO the crop over 40 pounds in a crop
of clover, and would have added permanent i'm
provement to the soil; and millions of tons Of
S-2-2 are sold under over 200 different brands

Two Sources of NITROGEN

iC771 FTER ALL that l have written in The pro
iAJ gressve Farmer and Gazette in regard to
Sx9 crop rotation and the making Of cheap
corn, my mail is burdened with letters from farm
ers asking what formula Of fertilizer is best 10
put under corn.
l invariably say that the best thing have ever
known under is a crimson clover sod on
which the farm manure has been broadcasted
during the winter. | would not give such a prep
aration for all the fertilizer Mr. Williamson cures
his stunted corn with. There is nothing that
tires me SO much as the constant dependence OF
our farmers on fertilizers TO grow crops Now
and then am encouraged by one who writes ask
4ng the best rotation of crops for his land for +
think that here is at least who is trying to get
out of the bondage to the fertilizer trust and to
go to farming in reality.
One reader asks: us cottonseed meal and
acid phosphate mixed in equal parts better for
corn than 8-2-2 fertilizer" In such mix
ture he would get per cent Of phosphoric
acid, more than twice as much nitrogen as In the
o-Z-2 and very nearly much potash The
diffculty is, that farmers will not study the
amounts of plant food contained in the different
materials used in mixing fertilizer nor the cost
or the elements they want in each At present
prices nitrogen in cotonseed meal Is rather costly
as compared with nitrate of soda but IL nitrogen
Is used, we need some organic form to go with
the nitrate to keep up the feeding OF the crop
and you can refer to the bulletins of the State de-
partments of agriculture and of the experiment
stations and find out what nitrogen costs in yari-
Gus materials.
But while nitrogen is costly in any form when
bought in fertilizer it is the cheapest thing the
farmer can get If he farms right and uses the
iegumes to get it for him. Then he never needs
No spend a cent for nitrogen in a fertilizer and
can, Tor the same money he has been spending for
complete fertilizer mixtures, get far more phos-
phorc ACID and potash. that will stay in his soil

whisked away in White Steamers to-
the home of Mrs. Douglas Robinson at
433 Fifth avenue. A little later, when
the procession reached the corner OF
Fifty-ninth street and Fifth avenue,
Colonel Roosevelt again showed his
preference for the motor car in gen.
eral and the White cars in particular,
when he, Cornelius Vanderbilt and Col
lector Loeb transferred from their car
riage to White Steamers, which were
in waiting for them.
After luncheon at Mr.. Robinson's
house, the entire party, including
Colonel Roosevelt, again entered White
cars and were driven to Long Island
City, where they were to take a spe-
cial train to the ex-President's home
at Oyster Bay.
The supremacy of the White cars
with the Roosevelt party was again
demonstrated on Sunday, when the
party was driven to church in the
White Steamers, and a group of some
forty prominent Rough Riders were
taken in White Gasoline Truck to a
clambake at the Travers island club
house of the New York Athletic Club.

After fifteen months absence, exact

Roosevelt disembarked from the Kali
serin Auguste Victoria, Saturday morn
ing, June 10, at II a. m. To the keen
disappointment of a large group of
newspaper correspondents, Mr.. Roose-

cal subjects, but his rapid fire of ques-
lions showed the same virile interest
In public affairs as before.

vast throng may be considered a
criterion upon which to base a ere

glimpse and hung on his very word.
The incidents of the day in New

ENGINE CAUGHT BY AUTO.
Railway Men Have Exciting Time
When Switch MoguI Turns Loose.

Glendive.-A new record for auto
mobiles was made here when an au-
tomobile was successfully used to stop
runaway switch engine, probably
saving the lives of a sleeping train
crew.
Two switch engines were at work
In the yards, when one "side hit" the
other. Engineer Ludwig Anderson
shut off steam and he and his fireman
jumped just as their cab was demol-
ished by the collision.
But something struck the throttle
of the engine, opening 1t wide, and be-
fore it could be boarded 1t bounded
away down the main track as a rum
away. With full steam up it tore
down the yards. The yardmaster tried
to wave it down. A section crew scat
over.
Down the track a short distance a
caboose had been left, in which a
train crew was asleep. This was
struck, but not with sufficient force to
wreck it. The caboose and an empty
freight car attached to it then be-
came part of the runaway.
In the meanwhile the fireman of the
truant engine had jumped into Henry
MullendOre's car and asked him to
chase the runaway, hoping to catch ii
on the long up grade east of the city
Then began an exciting race
Steadily the automobile gained on the
! runaway as the grade was reached
Just at the top of the hill the Buick
pulled close to the track, the fireman
! made a jump and run, managing to
board the runaway engine and bring
it to a stop just before long dowr
| grade was reached.

GOES AFTER FIGHTER.
Lewiston Sheriff Wants Man Who
Who Slashed Trainmaster Reynolds.

Lewiston.-Sheriff Edward Martin
left Helena with extradition papers to
bring back Sheridan Burke, who will
be charged with assault in the first de-
gree in case Trainmaster G. G. Rey-
nolds RECEIVERS.
On the morning of July Reynolds
and Burke, who went with crew that
had gone to Franklin, this county, to
look after derailed train, had an ar
gument.
Burke hit Reynolds over the head
with lump of coal and a little later
it is said, made two separate attacks
on him with a knife. Reynolds has
an injury on the side of the head
where he was hit with the coal.
He was badly cut acroos the face
exposing the teeth, with serious cut
in the neck, just missing an artery
and knife stab in the back. He is
in the hospital improving and will re-
cover.
