BRYAN AND MARTIN.

Brooklyn Eagle: Conservatism as dis
tinct from radicalism Is represented by Mr..
Martins election. The adherence Of the
democracy Of the senate to II for Ions
while is not likely. The disclosure Of real
tests will be interesting and cannot even
strategically be Ions postponed.
New York sun: Senator Culberson Of
Texas after voting for the Hon. Thomas
s. Martin for chairman Of the democratic
caucus OF the senate cannot hope for any
quarter from MIR. Bryan. The great man
will regard the detection Of Mr.. Culberson
as odious ingratitude for the senator was
one Of Mr.. Bryans choices for the honor
as a progressive"
Philadelphia Records: II the truth were

tin Of Virginia by bis associates for the

found that the choice was equally distssts-
ful for both Bryan and Bailey. Mr.. Martin

Martin does things. He has Administrative

tor Crane Of Massschusetts-precis the

Philadelphia Ledger: The selection Of
Senator Martin Of Virginia as chairman Of
the democratic caucus has no great signifi-
canoe, except what may have been given Il
by the efforts Of MIR. Bryan to promote the
selection Of Senator Shively OF Indiana
The "progressives" generally voted for
shivey, but not quite all OF them and Mar
tin himself is not decidedly "reactlonsry"
His advantage was that he was acceptable
to the conservative senators, and less OBJ
iectionable to the others than would have
been one of the older and better-known
senators whom the former would have pre-
ferred In the senate the position Of

THE YEARS YOUNG KING.

Lalia Mitchell in the Columbian
Oh golden is the Summer, the time Of bud
OF roses fair. and lilies rare and gardens
OF south winds softly blowing, across a
sandy way,
And little ships in sheltered rips, and
crested waves at play,
But who would hint at treason, unto the
Years Young King,
The royal relgning season, the hopeful,
happy Spring.
And tender Is the Autumn, the days OF
corn and wine,
purple fruited vine.
OF birds that band together to plan
journey far
meath the Southern Star.
But who would toast rival before the
Years brave King,
The fittest for survival, the heart entranc-
ing Spring.
oh, wondrous is the Winter, the Senith OF
with drifting snow and lakes that glow
like mirrors deep and clear;
When tempests sweep unDrtdled and
strangely through the night
The Star worlds floats-each one boat,
upon a sea OF white.
But who would crowd another. the years
have but one King,
From each TO each no other than love
compelling Spring.
A truce to all discussion, a finis' to all
When white and blue and yellow, too, the
hyacinths come out.
Blue skies and dimpled waters, and sub
tier yet. O fame
That never man OF mortal clan, hath dared
20 give q name,
And who would signet offer save TO the
fair young King,
Loves Jewels in his Golfer, the pulse be,
witching Spring.

ExPERIMENTs IN SPRAYING.
Profitable Results shown ut Nebraska
Station.
Louisville Courier-Journal.

Louisville Courier-Journal.
The Nebraska experiment station has
Issued bulletin which summarizes the
results of spraying experiments in apple
orchards for five seasons. The tests were
made principally for the purpose of de-
termining the cost of spraying, the yield
OF sprayed fruit and its value as com
pared with that of unsprayed fruit from
the same orchard.
At the outset of the experiment twenty
two orchards were selected, representing
eighteen localities in thirteen counties.
The trees varied in age from 10 to % years.
Some OF the orchards had been we'll pruned,
while others had been entirely neglected.
The trees were sprayed under varying con-
ditions, some with elaborate outfits for
the purpose and others by the crudest
methods. In some orchards the operators
had efficient power outfits. In others they
had merely a barrel and hose.
In figuring up results the experiment
station officials estimate the average total
annual cost Of spraying per- acre at SIP.
This is on q basis OF fifty trees to the
acre. The difference in value in favor OF
the sprayed fruit was $685. per acre De-
Quoting from this the average cost OF
spraying. a12. II is found that the average
net gain per acre from spraying is Ss46S
All Of which is certainly worthy Of the
apple growers consideration.
The five years experimentation has
shown conclusively that IL pays hand
somely to spray. The same results that
were obtained in Nebraska can be obtained
elsewhere. Those who hope to get good
returns from their orchards should realize
that the trees must be given proper care
Under such conditions the orchard responds
splendidly, and amply remunerates It's
owner for his labor.

clared in New Jersey. From a demo-
cratic standpoint. the last fifteen years
have been dark but I come to give you
the promise of the dawn" he was an
nouncing his decision never again to be
the democratic candidate for president
With a modesty bred Of three attempts a.,
the Job and three failures, Mr.. Bryan now
begs to imply that he never did care for
the presidency, and that It was a question
Of principles with him. Now that his
principles have triumphed. he IL so happy
that he wakes up In the night and laughs.
We have always noticed a decided ten
dency on the part Of many people 70 re-
joice At escaping the responsibilities OF an
office for which some one else has re-
ceived the greater number Of votes. This
symptom always occurs with the other
symptom we have mentioned, a tendency
on the part of beaten men 70 rejoice in
the triumph OF the principles they stand
for. We are far from wishing TO deny
that there have been men whom time alone
has justified. But Il IL demonstrabis that
Mr.. Bryan IL not one Of these men. He IL
20 be congratulated upon his ability TO set
Joy out OF the reflection that long after
some OF the principles he stood for had
begun TO make their way, his own unstable

barrier TO their acceptance.

Two Famous PrOgressives.

In announcing the makeup of the
democratic steering committee in the
senate at Washington the information
is vouehsafed that Senator Hitchcock
Of Nebraska and Senator Kern of In
diana are there TO represent the pro-
gressive element OF the party.
The humor OF this selection must
be readily grasped. The democratic
senator from Nebraska when at home
is classed as a reactionary. He led
the cohorts that put Bryan to rout at
the Grand Island convention, and his
newspaper organ is constantly singing
praises for Governor Harmon OF Ohio,
who is supposed to be the one candi-
date for the 1912 democratic presi-
Dental nomination blacklisted by Mr..
Bryan end his progressive following.
Senator Kern OF Indiana is most
widely known as the thick-and-thin
friend of the notorious Tom" Tag
CART, and the political creature of
Taggart, to whom he owes all he has
achieved in politics. II would be al
most as safe to placard Tom" Tag
CART as a progressive as to entrust the
cause of progressive democracy to Mr..
Kern
These two famous progressives of
the senate democratic steering com
mittec should give the democratic
regulars little trouble.

Sentiment is not all opposed to the
belief that Mr. Bpyan may yet bob up
once more as the democratic nominee
for president in 1912. despite his as
sertions to the contrary. The Wash
ingtoD Star, while not a democratic
paper, yet generally ready with
kindly expression for Mr. Bryan, is
far from persuaded that he is out Of
the running For instance, under a
caption describing him as Still the
Peerless Leader" II says editorially:
Mr.. Bryan's latest visit to this town was
veritable triumph for him. lie came
again. he Saw. and he conquered again.

he appeared for a moment in a hotel lobby
the place instantly filled up. II he spoke
at table on public questions, he was heard
with every manifestation Of pleasure. on
all sides. and by everybody, the glad hand
was offered him.
The Star is not wrong in attaching
significance to all this 1t thus credits
him with the reason for it. as freely
expressed:
Men said that the democratic good for
tune was due, primarily, to Mr.. Bryan.
lie had shown the way.
Then the Star observes that all this
is disconcerting TO anti-Bryan demo-
Gratis. 1t describes the ovation that
greeted him as he entered the house
on opening day and. allowing for his
announcement that he would not be-
come a candidate again, adds:
nut think Of him entering the hall of
\ the next democratic national convention
at the head of the Nebraska delegation,
composed Of his friends; think Of him TAX
| ing the platform In advocacy OF some issue
which is to figure in the conventions de-
! liveranee; think Of him smiling upon the
audience and addressing 1t in his we'll

mon boom, the Wilson boom, the CLARK

so as to insure the defeat of whoevei

Bryan's attempt at dictation:
1t will ultimately get the Democrat
party into just such a condition of tactic
and strife as so many people declare Nj

Logically, then, If MIR. Bryan IL

President Taft's general plan Of economy
In expenditures is likely to receive vigorous
support from an unexpected quarter dur
ing the extra session OF the congress.
Certain OF the insurgent republican sena-
tors believe that substantial progress oan
be made in the direction Of economy by
abolishing some Of the committees, or at
least reducing the salaries now paid 10
former senators and representatives who
have ensconced themselves IN these gov
eminent berths. II was suggested Ia a
chance gathering OF senate insurgents to-
day that the policy Of reducing the sal
aries OF clerks In the classified service and
at the same time paying the large salaries
20 lame ducks" from Capitol I'm Is a
misguided plan OF retrenchment which
saved at the spigot, but wasted at the
bung.
Most Of the economies thus far suggested
apply to government clerks whose salaries
range from q 900 10 q. 500 a year. The saw
ing TO the government is trifing and Is
more than consumed by the swollen sal
aries given 10 former senators and former
| congressman who have taken political ref
use In one or more OF the numerous com
missions created by congress
The insurgent senator's believe that the
commission plan OF caring for former sen
ators and representatives IL an amiable
custom but an expensive one. and they
