Wanted a Raise.

Boston, July 27.-The Rev. Paul
Harris Drake, who sprang into fame
when he declared that preachers
should have raise of salary from
their congregation every time a new
baby arrived in the minister's family,
is leaving his fashionable congrega-
ton in the rich town of Beverly all
because he did not get that raise
when a second baby appeared at the
home week ago.
The high cost of living has prov
ed too much for the fellow townsman
of Mr.. Taft, and he admits 1t. The
Rev. Mr.. Drake has been drawing
$1,000 a year, or about SO week,
from his congregation.

Colonel or Reporter-Which?

There will be some VINO Will con-
denim the editor of the News ano
Courier for presenting to his Colum'
bia representative the alternative OF
declining the position of colonel on
the governors staff or giving up his
position on the paper; but the editor
is clearly within his rights, and when
the matter is calmly considered no
Just blame can be attached to his
course. He bases his action on the
broad principle that newspaper man
should be Independent of public
officer. That is correct principle,
It is a pity that the News and Courier
does not carry the principle farther
and maintain the position that a
newspaper man shall also be inde-
pendent of public service corpora
ton. Maybe it will get there after
a while.
A newspaper reporter who becomes
a member of a governors staff is not
in position to do his full duty by
the newspaper he represents; especi-
ally is this true of a reporter whose
chief duty it is to report matters oc-
curing about the state house and in
public offices. That ought to have oc-
Cured to Mr.. Green, but it seems it
did not. The editor could do one of
two things: Relieve the reporter OF
his job or-the more kindly course
call his attention to the matter,
and give him the opportunity of de-
clining the invitation to join the gov
ernor's military family. He adopted
the latter course; and the managing
editor is charged with IAN encroach-
ment on personal rights" This is
a mistake: it is nothing of the kind;
no more so than the law is that says
one must not hold two offices at the
same time, or that a public officer
should not accept free railroad pass
es; no more so than any other re-
uuirement that one shall not accept
favors that would interfere with the
impartial and faithful performance
of his duty. ..r..
Instead of blaming Mr.. Latham Mr..
Green should recognize the fact that
he has shown him special considera-
ton in offering him, in, the kindest
manner, the alternative of accepting
the appointment on the governors S
staff or remaining on the paper. He
could have got rid Of him without
offering any alternative at all or any
reason. Mr.. Green's attempt to JUS
tify himself at the expense of Mr..
Latham would indicate that Mr.. La
than's kindness was not duly appreci-
ated.
Mr.. Latham is clearly in the right.
Now, let him go step further and
make it a rule of his Office that no
one connected with his paper shall &C.
cept obligations from public corpora
tions-railroads, for instance-and
thus be free and uptrammeled and
unbiased in serving the public

Rape as a Forage Plant.

Dwarf Essex is the best variety OF
rape and is recognized as a staple
grazing crop for hogs ,and sheep.
Nature. It is a plant close akin
to turnips and collards. The top con-
stitutes it's valuable portion since it
makes no great root development.
Planting. The seed are largely i'm
ported and are generally very cheap
five to ten cents per pound. The
crop should, for best success, be
planted in August or September on a
very rich and thoroughly prepared
soil. The land and it's preparation
are the same as for a good crop OF
turnips. The seed may be sown broad
cast, five to seven pounds per acre,
or in drills two to two and half
feet apart, four to five pounds per
acre. In the latter case one or more
shallow civilizations may be given to
save moisture and destroy weeds and
grass. The crop is also successfully
grown by planting with oats, plant
ing the seed broad cast after the oats
have been sown in the fall.
sFertilizing. II the soil is not rich
and well supplied with vegetable
matter, ten to fifteen tons of good
stable manure should be thoroughly
worked into the surface. In addition
to this 500 pounds acid phosphate
and 500 pounds kainit should be ap-
piled per acre. "A top dressing of
100 pounds of nitrate of soda should
be added in the spring. The fertih-
zation will necessarily vary with the
quality of soil. . ',,.. -.
Grazing. When planted early in
the fall Or with. oats the crop
should be be foot or more in height
and ready to Craze by November.
Pigs should be turned on and allow
ed to stay until everything is eaten
except the stubs and then taken off.
Another crop will be ready to Craze
in the spring. After the last grazing
the land should be planted in soy
beans or cowpeas for summer crop.
In case the weather in the fall is
such as to prevent planting, and
such is often the case, the seed may
be sown in February or March with
good results, though fall planting is
to be preferred. Pigs grazing on
rape or other similar crops should
have small amount of corn or other
grain feed each day. For best re-
suits one per cent. of the weight of
the animals should be fed each day.
This has been found the best way to
secure maximum results from the
rape crop.

Reflections of a Bachelor.

It's holiday outing when a man
goes off with his friends and hard
labor with his family.
It's a great extravaganza to have
any money in your pocket, because
you can't help spending 1t.
The bravest soldier is the man in
a family squabble.
A preachers sermon seems about
ten times as long as usual when he
comes to make, a call.

Many evidences of the tremendous
power of the flood were seen today
by the workers in the town. Engines

rolled along the ground, an immense
steel hopper was carried a half mile

was done by piles of cut lumber

I With no offense 10 the Cars gov

STA, against which the Jews OF this
country have been protesting for many
years, will be terminated.
Formal notice has been served on
the government at st. Petersburg OF
the intention OF the United States TO
end the treaty Jan 1. 1912. President
Taft took the situation into his own
hands and through the United States
ambassador at st Petersburg on last
Sunday made the first move toward
the cancellation OF the treaty The
president notified the L. s. senate OF
his action and asked for the approval
and ratification of that body.
President Taft's action was unani.
monsly ratified by the senate after de-
bate, the motion being presented by
Senator Lodge.
The house also passed the Lodge
resolution ratifying the abrogation OF
the treaty. The Joint resolution was
signed by Vice President Sherman,
which action perfected the legislation.
President Tafts procedure in ter
minating the treaty was i'm marked

AS result OF the presidents diplo-
