Another from Mr.. Clark.

| Editor Kennebec Journal:
| / am aware that you could not care
| to have the discussion of government
, al innovations descend into contro
versy between two men, and woui'
personally like to see a large number
Offering their views &c the press
Kindly allow me To say Few WORDS
in reply TO the sarcastic comments OF
Mr.. Christopher NJ. Gallup ON my
previous communication.
Mr.. Gallup suggests that | am un-
mindful of the fact that the people
he ve reversed the action of the leSls-
lature in all four of the cases when
matters have been submitted 10 popu-
lar vote, He also says that Il is right
and proper to use money lor the pro-
curing of signatures to initiative and
referendum petitions. 1t is nut nat
ural that the man who sees his pur-
pose accomplished should seek To
Justify the means, but does II look at
all like an expression OF popular VIII
when the legislative work OF the
State of Maine is done by men at hve
cents a head? Is not this especially
true when those men who Cat fVe
cents head) signed the petitions
readily own up to knowing nothing
about the matter?
Is not that the rankest form of pro-
curing legislation by means of money
As one of the original supporters oil
the initiative and referendum-I am
aware that the leaders in it's advocacy
urged that it would eliminate the pos
siblity of legislation by the power OF
money 1t has done the opposite-lt
has legalized legislation by the power
Of money.
The four measures which have been
submitted to the people were not only
submitted by the power of money
but money was used to procure their
enactment by popular vote. This
statement must not be understood as
jutjmating bribery of voters. The
primary election question. on which
we voted this year, is the latest ex-
ample. Its supporters raised fund
sufficient to carry band OF cam
pafgncrs ali over Maine, and to pro-
cure an amount of printed matter
which must have caused great ex-
pense. How would the promoters of
that like to have corrupt practices
act 70 compel them to file an expense
account and to put limit on refer
endum expenses
II there We're such an act, wonder
how their expense account would com
pare with that of the opposition to
this direct primary bill.
And now it is proposed to compel
public officials to submit to the recall
at the will of any person malicious

(perhaps at FIVE cents a head) for the
procuring of recall petition, 1t Is

TELLS FARMERS HOW ID RAISE
 POTATOES

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Nov. 3.-It is all very well for scientists to study and delve and dig for the ultimate salvation of the farmer in the dry land belt, but first tell him and do it quickly-what to grow that will bring in money. This, in effect, was the common sense princi- pie voiced at the International Dry Farming congress by Prof. W. NJ. Jar dine of Kansas.
 "The farmer isn't concerned about fertility and nitrates and inoculation, and things like that" said Prof. Jardine. "What he wants is a living and he wants it now. We must help him to get it. Show him how to do something now; tell him how to feed his family, first. and then he will be in a position to take up and study the more technical problems of farm life"
 Prof. Jardine told the farmers to raise potatoes, as one of the surer means of getting an immediate living on the dry lands. For seed, he said in brief, use selected tubers, hand picked. If not too large, plant single tubers with only one or two eyes. If large, cut in halves. Two eyes are better than six in seed potatoes. Plant in rows three feet apart, and two feet apart in the rows. four inches deep. Subsoiling is fairly sat isfactory. Plant Early Petoskey, Irish Cobbler and Early Ohio.
 ''These varieties do not give the largest yields, I admit" said the speaker, "but they are the earliest, and, therefore, the most advisable be- cause the farmer may need the money.
 "Only three crops on the dry lands are making money" Prof. Jardine declared: "Wheat, p,ilo and flax. Why not add potatoes to the list and increase the ineome?'

NEW MINE BEING OPENED NEAR
 HURON
(From Saturdays Daiiy)


 A. NJ. Weedin, secretary of the Har- rington Mining company, arrived from his camp at Huron yesterday and states that development has been in augurated in a systematic manner and a permanent camp established. The new shaft is down 40 feet. and sul- phide ores that carry high grade val ues are being cut. MT. Weedin says, the showing is somewhat of sur prise and is much better than anti eipated. The group has never been exploited but parallel locations show attractive conditions. The Harrington properties carry copper and gold val ues, and are economically located for transportation, the workings being within a quarter of a mile of the railroad. J. P. Kelly, president of the company, is in MuskOgee, Okla, and is expected to return later to per sonally direct operations. He formerly operated on Big Bug, and is favor ably known in mining circles of Ida ho and Montana.

WILL TAP CASH FROM SENATOR
 TUNNEL
From Saturdays Daily)

Important determinations are to be made at the Cash mines, in Hassay- arnPa district, as soon as practicable, for the purpose of making expert ex- animation of underground conditions. Yesterday a contract was let to run a drift from the Senator tunnel on the Cash vein, which will be about 200 feet in length, which will unwater the old workings at the deepest points when the upraise is made from the drift. This property has been idle for several months and in that time all lower workings have been filled with water, the only practicable method to permit of an examination being by running the drift. The con- tractors will leave today to begin the work.
