The Fairbanks Incident In a Protest.
ant Sermon In Rome.

ant Sermon In Rome.
Rome, March 1.-The American
Methodist church was crowded. thc
congregation including many Amcri-
can visitors who were attracted NV.
the subject oil the sermon OF the Rev.
Is, NJ. Triple, the pastor, "Why Meth
odsm is in Rome"
II was in the American Methodist
church that Charles w. Fairbanks. ok
vice president of the United States.
delivered the address which shut hun
on from being received I'm audience by.
the pope, an incident which created
much discussion in Rome as well as,
in the United States.
Mr.. Triple said the Methodist church
was meeting with great success
throughout Italy. Such an inference.
he said, could be drawn, from the ex-
traordinary action of the vatican with
regard to the proposed visit OF ex.Vice,
President Fairbanks to the pope, ana
also from the bitter resentment OF
the Catholic clergy. AS Mr.. Fairbanks
spoke In the American Methodist
, church, the pastor said, ii was fitting
that from the same pulpit the charges
preferred against Methodism in Italy
should be considered.
with reference to the assertion
that Methodists have no right to be,
in Italy" said the preacher, "the an
, swer Is that we are here under the,
Italian laws, guaranteeing religious
, freedom. Another assertion by the
Catholics is that Methodism Is not
needed in Italy. But Methodists be.
lieves that the need is urgent. as the
Catholic chuch is always more efficient
for good when compelled to compete
with aggressive Professionalism, as con-
spicuously evidenced in America.
THE Catholic church suffers embar~
rassment when it is required to satisfy
the ideals of great liberty loving
: republic contemporaneously with
! needing the demands of the vatican.
which is bound by the ideals OF the
Middle Ages. This is proved by the
experience of Archbishop Ireland.
when he was here year ago, studying
the Methodist propaganda. A great
Lincoln banquet was arranged by the
! American colony. very properly, Arch
! bishop Ireland was asked to speak.
Very properly as a patriotic American
citizen, he accepted the invitation.
But suddenly the good archbishop re-
called his acceptance. The vatican
had forbidden him to speak or attend
the banquet, because a toast to Presi-
dent Roosevelt was followed by toast
to the king of Italy.
Italy needs Methodism because it
is no longer Catholic, except in name
The charge of Methodists PROSECUTING
is foolish. Their bands are full in
dealing with the unbelievers. This is
proved by the last census, which
shows that Italy reports the largest
number of men without religious pro.
fession."

THRESHOLD OF NEW ERA.
James J. Hill Discusses Federal Con.
troll Of Generations.

Minneapolis, March Eve must
lay aside this popular antipathy to ALI
forms of combination and investigate
the matter as we would any subject
in economics" says James J. Hill, in
an article made public.
There is an economic evolution 60
ing on, Independent of the wishes OF
men. Evil combinations will be found
self-destroying."
There are advantages in combi-
nations Of capital that accrue to the
workingman," continues Mr.. Hill.
They gain in wages and in cheaper
food. Articles are produced more
cheaply and distribution handled to-
better advantage. | do not say that
management of combinations of capI-
tai has always been what it should be.
but the extreme view on the side of
opposition is dangerous. We are only
on the threshold of new era"

Seed Corn to Sell at $40.

Seed corn will sell this spring for
SO a bushel, in the opinion of Frank
Tannehill, Norfolk seed corn expert.
Already circulars are being received
offering seed corn at IS, and this price
will double shortly because of the
shortage of good seed corn, Mr.. Tan.

corn has been exhausted and he

Americans Poor Wooers.

New York, March 2.-"American men
are too much engrossed in business
and money making to win or hold the
affections of American girls. They
talk. of little else, and American girls,
educated as they are today, are not
interested in Wall street, the stock
exchange or the markets. 1t seems
to me that this is one reason why so
many American girls marry foreign
ers."
This is the opinion of NJ. Henri de
Sincay, himself a foreigner, who mar
ries an American girl today-Miss
Marie Louise Logan.
II have found the American girl my
ideal among women; she is clever, SC
intelligent and wonderfully we'll edu
Gated" continued NJ. de Sincay. "She
has remarkable tact-so much more
than your men. and she adores art
music and the languages-tastes which
seem largely to be hers here. The
men you see, think that money and
business are the most important fac
tors in life. | have observed that
one of the most distinct differences
between the foreign man and the
American is, that the foreigner puts
away thoughts and discussions of bus
mess when he gets into his evening
clothes. 1t matters little to an Ameri
can man whether he is in sack suit

office, on yacht or at a fashionable
dinner table, the uppermost topic O.

Aids Pathfinder Settlers.

Washington, March Especial to
The News: Senator Burketts bill
authorizing the government to give
settlers under the Pathfinder ditch in
west Nebraska patents to their home
steads after five years, whether water
reaches their farms or not, passed the
senate with a committee amendment
giving the homesteader the right to
assign any portion of his entry when
he has otherwise complied with the
homestead laws. Senator Burkett
who is thoroughly familiar with con
ditions along the ditch, having spent
several days last fall in a tirst-hand
inspection of the situation, opposed
the committee amendment and tried
to get the senate to accept his bill as
originally introduced. Senator Carter
thought it was establishing too much
of a precedent and might subject the
government to unnecessary litigation
and his plea for the amended bill pre-
vailed.

from the Omaha Commercial club ad.
wise the farmer to get seed corn as
near home as possible, as the seed SO.
cured near his own land Is more apt
to grow than that from distance.
Seed corn ON the ear is advised, as
the farmer win be better able to know
what he is getting, If he gets 1t on the
ear.
A Simple, practical Test.
A practical method for the farmer
to use in testing his own seed corn is
given by the Northwestern railroad In
a circular issued In the past few days
and scattered broadcast over the coun.
try reached by its line. supply OF
the circulars have been received at the
local freight office. II gives the fol.
lowing instructions for making ger
mination box for testing the seed
corn:
Take a box six inches deep and
about two by three feet in size. Fill
the box about half full of moist dirt
sand or sawdust. Press 1t well down
so II will have smooth, even surface.
Now take a white cloth about the
size OF box, rule 1t off checkerboard
fashion, making squares one and a
half inches each way. Number the
checks |, 2, 3, and so on. Place this
over the sand, dirt or sawdust.
Take the ears to be tested and
either lay them out on the floor and
mark a number in front of each or
attach a numbered tag. Now take off
about six kernels from each ear (not
all from the same place, but at sew
eral points on all sides). Put these
kernels on the squares corresponding
in number to those placed on the ears
of corn. Be careful not TO get them
mixed. Keep the ears numbered to
correspond exactly with the numbers
on the squares of cloth
After the kernels have been placed
carefully on the cloth which covers the
moist sand, dirt or sawdust. cover
them with another cloth, considerably
larger than the box; cover this cloth
| with about two inches of the same
moist sand and then keep the box in
warm place. II must not get cold
4
The kernels will terminate in -four
to six days.
Remove the cover carefully to avoit
misplacing the kernels. Examine then
| carefully. Some will have Ions
sprouts, but almost no roots; Others
will not have grown at all, but the
| kernels from ears which will produce
| corn if planted will have both sprouts
| and good root systems.
Compare the numbers on the square!
with those on the ears. Put back int
the feeding corn bin the ears which
correspond in number to the number!
on the squares where the kernels die
not grow or where they showed onl!
weak roots.
| The ears numbered correspondent,
to those on the cloth which showed
strong signs of life are the ones t
preserve for seed. Every kernel from
these ears should produce stalk
every stalk an ear.

uMPlRES GIVEN AUTHORITY.
President Lynch Uses Influence to
Protect Arbiters From Past Evils.

New York, March 2.-This season
more than ever before in the history
of baseball the umpire will be the
riegning power on the diamond. The
most striking feature of the revised
rules which have just been given out
here is the importance which the UNI
pires and duties of the umpires held
in the mind of the revisionists. This
innovation is generally held to be a
result mainly of the efforts of Presi-
dent Thomas j. Lynch of the NationaI
league, who used to be an umpire
himself and is thoroughly familiar
with the handicaps under which that
official labors.
A double umpire system for all
games is officially established by the
new rules. The umpire-in. chief sta
toned behind the bat will have full
charge of the game and will alone
have authority to declare a game for
feited. The field umpire has full au-
thority in removing and fining players.
The two officials must work in har-
mony and in case a point is raised
on a decision, one umpire may ask
for information from the other. But
one umpire will not interfere with
the other unless requested.
The revised rules give the umpire
absolute power over the players on
the bench. This feature has long been
a hobby with the National league
president, and aims to do away with
all the rowdyism from that quarter
which has frequently disturbed the
game in the past.
A new rule gives the base runner
the privilege of turning to either the
right or left after touching first base.
where heretofore he was compelled TO
turn to the right.

trivance-Fired From the Shoulder.
Washington, March 2.-The army
has just adopted a new type of ma
chine gun that has some remarkable
points of advantage over the existing
guns. The new weapon is so small
that it can be carried by man or two
with full equipment of stands, and
ammunition can be packed upon a
mule.
Moreover, it has the important ad-
vantage that it can be fired from the
shoulder, and consequently is much
less subject to attack and capture by
the enemy. The ammunition is car
ried on steel strips, and the new gun
is said to be free from the danger of
choking. The barrels are carried in
duplicate and can be changed easily
when they become heated from rapid
firing.

A GRAVEYARD RAMBLE.

/ took stroll in the graveyard
One bleak November day,
When the skies were duh and leaden
And all around looked gray,
And gloomy, SO my thoughts were;

And sought lonely hour
That might think and brood.
1t was very still and silent,
Not living soul was seen,
And all alone l wandered
Through the narrow paths,
Between the marble head stones
And monuments so grand,
They looked like CHASTITY sentinels
Guarding the sleeping band.
There stood a massive granite shaft
That lowered up so high
II seemed to say that meath it
No common form could lie;
A magnate's name / read,
And knew him through hearsay;
wondered if his body
Became high graded clay.
What wealth l saw about me
In those cold well chiseled stones;
The sculptor's grandest masterpiece
Oh! What a sham and moci,ery
The poor, that man oppressed
And filled his Golfers from the rlood

To lone neglected spot,
Where weeds had gro8n and read
