RPoF. PoINpExrER,s ADDRESS


Prof. c. c. Poindexter, Professor of
Agriculture at Fisk University, ad-
dressed the Young Mems Christian
Association Sunday afternoon. his
subject being, What Is in the Soil"
Prof. PoindeXter spoke in part as fol
lows:
1--WE have long known that soil
when sterilized would produce in
creased crops The explanation for
this has only recently come to light.
Experiments conducted at Rotham-
sted Station, Harpenden, England
show that in the soil there is a con
slant battle wageing between bacteria
which created plant food and lower
forms of animal life 1t appears
that the animal life keeps the friend
ly bacteria in check and so limits
the producing power of the soil.
sterilization with heat or with
volative antisceptics was found to kill
the animal life and to leave some of
the friendly bacteria. AS soon as
this happened bacteria increased enor-
mously.
When man has brought to a prac.
tical issue the tanning and domestica-
ton of the fauna and fora of the soil,
then will be the problem of science
applied to agriculture De still nearer
solution and the bugaboG of the popu.
lation outdistancing food supply still
more a hoax"

asked Warren. IF So it would be
easy for you to form combination to
break him."
His business methods are confined
to his mercantile establishment, and
they are purely legitimate"
What resources has he got?"
We'll, l should say he can command
perhaps score Of millions"
'Whew!" exclaimed Liffey. HE
might be good man to tie to-"
You can set your mind at rest as
to that. Liffey. He wouldn't tie to
man like you"
oh, don't know. Pretty good men
have found it to their interests to tie
up with me, and they haven't lost any,
thing by it. Have you, Mr. Haldane?"
Haldane locked his teeth. 1t was
this sort of covert insult which was
the necessary concomitant of his
alliance which, in his secret heart, he
loathed. Again it was the district at
torney who interposed.
Il take it that this is a conference"
he said equally, "as to what we are to
do, If anything, to head off this man.
You don't think he can be bought off,
Mr.. Haldane?"
Il am sure he cannot be-"
We'll, then, he'll have to be fought
down." returned the other; for it is
evident that we cannot afford to have
the workings Of the Sachem society
brought before the public. The thing
to be done now is to get together,
keep together, and beat Gormly."
You think he's got chance, do

Yes" said Rutherford, disregarding
the last remark; but you know, Lift
fey, our control rests largely upon the
indifference of the people. If they get
walked up, it would go like that"
He snapped his finger as he spoke,
and no man contradicted him, for true
1t is that on the Indifference of the
many is founded the power of the
one
I'VE could still count the votes"
said the chief of police uncertainty.
Undoubtedly; but If there are
enough people interested in the affair,
the votes will be counted as cast"

side,'' added Habberley.

Yes, to certain extent; but there
are limits beyond which even our own
judges could not 60 Therefore, if
Mr.. Haldane's estimate of Gormly is
correct, and for myself l am rather
inclined to believe that it is, we are
face to face with a terrific PROPOSE
ton"
We'll then" said Liffey, 81 think
the best thing to do, If you gents are
all agreed that it's serious, is to pitch
upon candidate. We want to have
a man that's entirely respectable, and
yet who knows which side his breads
buttered on and who'll take care of
the organization"
Il think said Warren tentatively,
that l have earned another term. l
certainly haven't failed in my
duty"
ITO the people?" asked Rutherford.
ITO the organization" answered the
mayor with dignity. and my private
character is all that could be de-
sired"
Liffey snorted with disdain.
My dear Mr.. Warren, undoubtedly
you are very available Whether or
not you are the most available is the
question" interposed Mcdonald.
We ought to get some man of the
highest consideration, who belongs to
most respectable family, and vet
who's amenable to the right pressure.
How'd you do yourself, Mr. Haldane?"
asked the boss innocently, if bosses
can ever ask anything in that vein.
Under no consideration" he said,
decisively, could l accept the honor.
My interests, our interests, are too
vast for me to localize them by be-
coming mayor of New York"
Haven't you got a SOM" asked
Connell, the chief of police. He'd
have all the advantages of name and
station and so on that you would and
! have no doubt he'd do pretty much
what you said, and I'm sure you'd
say what was best for us ALL"
I think that would be an excel
lent idea" chimed In Rutherford.
How old is your youngster, Hal.
dane?"
He's twenty-eight."
Never done anything in his life,
has he?"
Do you mean in business, or any
any other way?"
Anything he's got to cover I'D I

Nothing, I believe" answered the
father. He's been a lively lad; but

asked Rutherford.

Can you get in communication with
him by telephone?"
Il think So"

him whether or not, if he got the
nomination, he would run

said Haldane, going out into the hall
where one of the duplicate telephones
was installed.
He did not care to do his telephon-
ing in the library before the group of
conspirators.
Il think" protested Warren as Hal
dane closed the door behind him, that
this is shame. You promised me
that II l made a satisfactory mayor,
l should have the refusal of the Office
again, and I'd like to know what I've
done that you should throw me
DOWN."

We're not committed to him yet"
I'll tell you one thing that we can

here interposed the chief of police.
And what is that, pray?" asked the
mayor.

can look up his record. We can find

Your suggestion is an excellent
one, and your observations do YOU
credit, It's the first practical sugges-

said Van Slyke.
Right" said Liffey, bluntly. Turn
up some dirty story about him, and if
you need evidence I'll supply all that's
necessary"
You'll have to be careful" said
Rutherford, that such evidence as
you supply shall be unimpeachable,
and that such story as you turn up

dane authoritative1y, ri hardly think
the discussion is taking a profitable
turn. Doubtless, as Liffey says, we
can beat him; certainly we must do
so. Probably it will cost more money;
that is, if in some way his candidacy
cannot be headed off,"
Can he be induced to withdraw, do

NO, I think not but II we made
him some concessions it Is barely pos
sible he might, though gravely doubt
1t. He's all stirred up over this
switch business. / have already taken
upon myself to offer to use my infu-
ence to get the price demanded cut
in half. He declined the offer imme-
diately. l think he said he wouldn't
pay anything except the cost of the
switch and a reasonable sum-$40 900
for the privilege"

put in Liffey. that If we're mixed IN
in fight, it's the extortionate de-
mands of the Gotham Freight Trac-
ton company which has brought it
about"
MY dear sir" answered Haldane con
temptuously, "how are we to satisfy
the demands made upon us by you
and your fellow members Of the Sa-
chem society and make a profit for
ourselves out of the matter, II we
don't make men like Gormly nay
heavily"
That's your lookout"
We'll. you will find that it's also
yours il we stop payments"
"Oh, I don't know. 1 guess there's
others that'd be glad to enjoy the
franchises"
Now, Liffey," said the district at
torney, who perhaps from his Official
position as public prosecutor had
more influence over the boss than any,

You know perfectly well that we are
all necessary to one another; that we
are all in the same boat we all have
