HUGHES REBUKED BY BOSSES.

I T did not take long for the bosses who have
been fighting Governor Hughes i'll New
York to take advantage of his appointment to
the Supreme Court bench. The New York Leg
islature the other day without ceremony defeat
cd the Hughes bill for direct primaries, pro-
posed law by which it was hoped the influence
of the bosses would be lessened and the people
would be given direct power in the making of
nominations.
Mr.. Hughes the other night, made what was
probably his final important speech relating to
politics He stuck by his proposed reform, he
still talked for his direct primary law, but Il
was with the air of man who had almost given
up hope that the measure would be passed.
The bosses of New York were quick to seize
upon this obvious oosening of the lines by
Hughes, and they went at his measure with 4
vengeance They defeated his direct primary law
and substituted a mder reform measure for the
purpose of hoodwinking the people
The defeat of the direct primary bill is per-
sonal rebuke to Hughes. 1t is a singing slap
at the governor at a time when his efforts for
better government in New York should be ap-
preciatcd And the worst thing about it is that
Hughes by Withdrawing to the seclusion of the
United States Supreme Court abandons the fight
against the bosses and leaves them free
footed to plan still further for commercializng
the politics of the Empire States For the poll
tics in that state has become merely a matter
of give and take: addition subtraction, division
and silence, and Hughes was looked upon as
the Moses to lead the people from the political
wilderness.
The defeat of his direct primary bill has made
the friends of the Governor all the more disap-
pointed because he has abandoned the fight in
New York One Hughes in New York, one
Hughes in the active politics of the day is worth
a dozen of Hughes in the Supreme Court The
country has any number of lawyers capable of
making good Supreme Court Justices but it has
few men who have the ability TO make po-
litica fight like that Hughes has made.

Tho Circus.
Evening Sun.

Baltimore Evening sun.
After all, it is not remarkable that
the whole American people go gallop-
ing to the circus in the spring, their
coat-tails flying, their eyes abulge and
their right fists grasping their en-
raptured progeny; for the circus is,
by long odds. the most thoroughly
satisfying entertainment yet devised by
man. How puny the plays of Shakes
peare seem beside il How faint the
unearthly groans and bellowings of the
Wagnerian Ringl How tedious a base
ball game, even with three men on
bases and Hans Wagner at the batl
And how all-fned stupid an ordinary
prize fight, railroad wreck, earthquake,
food, fire or murderl
The circus. indeed, is far more than
mere show. 1t is, at one stroke, a
national madpess and a form of exer-
else; an opera, drama and an Olym-
plan game; a school of natural history
and a carnival of the emotions; a dis
play of fireworks and a zymotic dis
case.

HEARST AND WArrERsoN

HINRY WATTERSON, the nestor of Amer
a i ican journalism, has incurred the wrath Of
Mr.. William R. Hearst Mr.. Hearst has brought
suit against the Louisville Courier Journal and
Mr.. Watterson personally for damages, because
the newspaper printed reports of Mayor GAY,
nors attack on Hearst at the dinner of the pub.
fishers in New York recently.
According 10 a trade paper the suit against
Mr.. Watterson personally is because Mr. Waiter
son as a director of the Associated Press had
fore knowledge that Gaynor was to make the
attack on Hearst and took no means to pre-
vent it.
Colonel Watterson thinks that Hearst has
adopted the suit method of getting revenge on
sWattersOn because the latter refused the pre-
posterous and offensive money offers" made by
Hearst for his services. The colonel says he
has been pursued by Hearst for years The New
Yorker, it is reported is to go to Louisville to
press his suit and Colonel Watterson promises
him warm welcome Should Hearst appear

KENT COUNTY ROADS.

FIRST of all the people of Kent county VIC
4 take it. want the county roads improved
They arc not particular which political party.
through the Levy Court makes the road inn
provement. We are speaking of the citizens Of
the country generally, not of the political job
hunters, office seekers.
The Democratic Levy Court seems to have
the idea that the most important thing about
road Improvement is that such work shall be
done by henchmen of the Democratic party The
court has refused to cooperate with Commits
sioner Hope and has refused to avail itself of the
State fund.
Republicans believe that the courts attitude
is due to the fact that it does not want to recog-
nize the Soper Road Law and Soper at all, and it
does not want Mr.. Hope to have anything to do
with improving the roads
If this view is correct-and Il is current in
Kent--it certainly shows the Levy Court to be
a narrow-minded body Of men where politics is
concerned.
The same kind OF spirit was shown in Sussex
comfy not lonS ago when some Democratic
members of the Levy Court refused TO vote for
a county engineer because they did not wish to
provide a Republican with job.
In the lower counties, and often in New Cas-
tie also, the important thing is not whether there
shall be progress in the county and the proper
expenditure of money for improvements but
whether the money while being spent shall pass
through Democratic hands only
Ideas of this sort seem ridiculous And the
most ridiculous thing about it is that voters and
heavy taxpayers should sit by and their
money used and often squandered by these po-
litcal henchmen.
Some day county affairs will be managed like
the affairs of big business corporation, and the
man who whispers in alleys about putting Tom.
Dick or Harry in place "for the sake of the party
will be regarded as queer fish that belongs TO

SOUTH MISSISSIPPI IS
IDEAL FOR TRUCKING

The following short treatise on snap
beans Is hoped to be the result of its
kind dealing with truck crops and
based on the results of experiments
that have been conducted at the Nc
Neill Branch Station since 1902 in
growing and marketing these crops.
South Mississippi offers an attractive
field to the trucker so far as natural
advantages are concerned, having a
soil almost physically perfect, a eli
mate almost ideal, and, in many
places, railroad facilities for placing
the crops grown on the best markets
of the country. 1t lacks the neces-
sary labor for developing the indus
try, while the soils, which are gen.
orally poor from a chemical stand
point, have first to be built up to
where most truck crops can be grown
successfully.

UP in The AIR ON
EQUALIZATION Bill
by Associated PreSS.)

Jackson, Miss, March 5.-Chair-
man Stennis, of the house committee
on ways and means, is up in the
air." so to speak, on the tax equali-
cation bill framed and presented by
the joint equalization committee that
held ten-day sitting in Jackson sew
eral weeks prior to the meeting of
the Legislature.
The bill is one of the most import
ant now pending for consideration,
and for several days the ways and
means committee has been endeav-
oring to secure information concern
ing the constitutionality of several
of its clauses, notably that granting
exemption to mortgage debts. Legal
advice is being sought, and the COM
mittee was very much discouraged
yesterday evening when Hon. Mar
cellus Green, a prominent member of
the Jackson bar, appeared before the
body, in response to an invitation,
and, during a lengthy discussion of
the bill, expressed the opinion that it
is fundamentally wrong and clearly
unconstitutional
Capt. Frank Johnston, former At
torney general, has given the commit
tee the benefit of his opinion on the
subject, in the form of a written
brief, in which he takes exceptions
to the mortgage exemption clause, but
holds that the other features are con-
stitutional
Judge R. " Fletcher, former men,
Der of the Supreme Court, has been
asked to appear before the commit
tee, and will do so early next week.
1t is likely that the committee will
ask for an informal opinion from the
Supreme Court before the bill is
called up for passage. 1t is a meas
ure of exceptional length, and. if the
Supreme Court consents to give an
opinion, it will take several days for
the members to complete study OF
| its provisions.

Specialized Industry.

Truck growing is quite special
lied industry, requiring more skill, If
not more intelligence, on the part Of
those engaged in it than any other
line of agriculture save, perhaps, the
dairy business and experience here
has been that the two may be oper-
ated together most successfully the
dairy furnishing manure for building
up the soils most economically and
giving a market not only for the sur
plus truck crops themselves, but for
restorative crops that should follow
them. Trucking is at once capable Of
earning large profits for the success
full individual or of causing equally
as large losses to the unsuccessful,
and the best of it's followers are not
exempt from frequent failures with a
single crop. Except in rare instances
the truck grower has to produce per-
ishable crops for limited markets in
competition with a vast territory on
all sides, and unless conditions be-
yond his control such as are deter
mined by the soil, climate, and trans
portation facilities are suitable he
cannot hope to succeed except at a
great disadvantage. Under the most
favorable circumstances it will re-
quire knowledge of soils and ferti-
lizers, of controlling insect pests and
fungous diseases, and of the intricate
matter of packing and distributing
the products, that the producer of
staple cropss can only acquire by ex-
perience, and the writer believes it
| best to begin such work gradually.
In fact, practical understanding OF
all the sciences underlying agriculture
in the broadcast sense would hardly
suffice to make one proficient in this
| work without the knowledge that
comes with experience in growing and
marketing such crops.

Liuht Soil.

A large percentage of the soils of
South Mississippi re light sandy
loans with sandy-clay subsoils and
not only mature the crops grown on
them in a minimum length of time,
but are capable of a high degree of
improvement with a combination of
animal manures, commercial fertilz-
ers, and restorative crops. On such
soils the trucker may reasonably ex-
pect to get his products on the high
est priced markets. Thus at Mcneil
early crops like beets, beans, cab
bage, Irish potatoes and tomatoes are
off the land by the middle of May, be-
ing followed by a number of staples
such as corn, cowpeas, peanuts, and
the like which in turn mature in time
for fall and winter crops of many
kinds. This station is now market
ing, on December the twentieth, sew
eral acres of cabbage which are as
fine as have ever been grown here in
spring, and has altogether numbers of
acres of rape, rutabagas, collards,
beets, turnips, onions and grain crops
which not only supply the surround
ing tewns with their produce, but fur
nish succulent feed for dairy cattle
through the winter months.
The bush or snap bean is perhaps
the easiest of all truck crops to grow
J and there is about as little experience
necessary on the part of the producer
They do not require so rich a soil as
do the most of the other truck crops,
though they respond well to good fer
tilization. Being easy to plant, Guilt
vate, and prepare for market, and re-
curing a minimum of expense for
seed and fertilizer, they are an espe'
cially good crop for the beginner, and
experience here has been that they
are about as reliable as any for net
returns.
