In Troubled Water.

President Taft is sailing in
troubled waters. To square him
self with his party he must stand
to the theory of protection.
But TO maintain the confidence
of the people he must go in for
tariff reform. He declared at
Winona last summer that the
Payne-A ldrich bill was the best
tariff measure ever enacted by
the Republican party. With the
object lesson of popular disap-
proval at the November election,
he strives to save himself for
denomination by an admission of
the protective fallacy with his
Canadian reciprocity treaty.
For this the interests damn him
and the progressives and insur-
gents praise him.
Meanwhile the tariff commits
sion idea is evolved by him as a
measure to alley the popular dis
trust and to secure the return of
the Republicans to power on the
ground that ct is the best
medium for dealing with the
affairs of the nation"
The president will have a hard
time to free himself from his
difficulties. He cannot success
fully carry water on both shout
ders. He will have to definitely
align himself with the insur-
gents or the old guard. The
latter are doomed to defeat
They have already been defeat
ed. The former can only sue
ceeded with the help of the
Dem ocrats and to have that
they must persist in their adher-
ence to Democratic principles,
which takes them out of the
ranks of the regulars in their
party and makes them practical
ly Democrats. Whichever horn
Of the dilemma the president
chooses to seize will be found un-
comfortable.

Democrats and 1912.

The new electoral college of
1912, containing 531 votes, will
require 266 votes to elect. Al
though Mr.. Bryan in three cam
paigns and Mr.. Parker in 1908
were unable to win for the Dem
ocratic party, it is by no means
a hopeless task that confronts
the Democrats next year. Mr..
Cleveland in 1884 won by carry
ing the solid South and four
Northern states, New York,
New Jersey, Indiana and Con-
necticut. Mr.. Tilden had pre-
viously done the same thing,
although deprived of his victory
in Florida, South Carolina and
Louisiana. The Democrats can
yin in 1912 by carrying the sol
id South and those four states.
The solid South, counting Della
ware and West Virginia as a part
of it, and including the new
state of Oklahoma, II states in
all, totals 1876 votes. New York
with 10, New Jersey with Il, In
diana with ID and Connecticut
with Z give 81 more, or a total OF
267. This is one more than a
majority and there is still left
Colorado, Nebraska snd Nevada,
with a total of 16 votes, all of
which states Bryan carried in
1908 and Arizona and New
Mexico with three each, both of
which may be Democratic.
New York, New Jersey, Con-
nacticut and Indiana have Demo-
cratic Governors and all were
carried twice by Cleveland and
once by Tilden. Cannot history
repeat itself ?

Reciprocity.

There is a marked difference in
the Importance of the border line
which separates us from our neigh
bors on the south and that which
separates us from cur neighbors on
the North. The people of Mexico
come of stock that is not the
same as ours, and they have many
customs, modes of living, aspirations
and ideals which we ID not accept.
On the other hand, the Clnadi ans
are Of the same race as the people
of tins country, and but for the fail
ure of single military expedition in
the revolutionary war they would be
citizens of the United States.
Their industries are the same as
ours. they conduct business in the
same way that we do, trains and
boats pass from one coun try to the
other, and sympathy is fell by tie
people on the other. Ia fact mere
political line divides those who are
otherwise one people.
It's proposed to readiust the ter
iff schedule Of this country and Can
ala for the purpose Of promoting
freer trade between the two, and
it is generally admitted even by the
opponents of reciprocity that such
an arrangement would prove mu-
tually advantageous. Senator Bey-
eridge made a speech on the sub
ject last week, in which he used
the following argument:
off no trade barricado has ever
been erected between these two
peoples thus situated. and if it were
now proposed for the first time to
separate us commercially by a high
tariff wall does anybody think that
any such proposition would receive
many votes in either country? Tt
would be as if some one DOW were
to propose TO divide sections Of our
own country 10y commercial carriers:
for strictly from the economic point
Of view these two propositions are
the same. What would be said if
it were proposed to cut off certain
sections Of the south whose res5ur-
ccs arc not exhausted. from certain
competing sections of The north
whose resources arc running lov &?
What would be said if it were pro-
posed to slut off Alaska from MS by
tariff obstruction? Yet there is
no difference but that of our nation
al unity
If wo had free trade with Canada
it is not likely that we would over
give itup. Itwould mean extended
markets for both countries, % larger
volume of business. u greater COM

Wilson A Progressive.

1t was expected that Governor
Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey,
would make an effort to clean up
the rotten election system of his
state. This expectation will not
be disappointed. The beginning
of his program for various re-
forms occurred in the legislature
Of the nursery of trusts the 9TH
er day when bills were intro
duced which, if they become
laws, will completely reform the
entire system of regis try and
elections and make New Jersey s
election laws as progressive as
those of Wisconsin or Oregon.
The bills provide for civil SER
vice examinations and appoint
ments for election officers, with
representation permitted to min
GRITTY parties. This would give
the Socialists an opportunity to
compete for appointment on
election boards. Provision is
also made for direct primaries
for the election of delegates to
national conventions, with a pro-
viso giving voters the right to ex-
press their choice of candidates
for president and vice president
on the primary ballot.

Direct primaries for all nomi-
nations to elective state and mu-
nicipal Offices, including governor
and congress, are provided for,
and candidates for legislative
nominations cannot have their
names placed on the ballot I'M
less they sign a pledge agreeing
to vote for the candidate for
United States Senator who re-
ceives the largest primary vote.
Personal registration is re-
quired in advance for all primary
and general elections, and voters
must sign their names in the
registry as means of identification
when they are registered. Coun-
ty committee chairman are to be
elected in the party primaries,
and party platforms to be adopt
ed at convention of nominees.
Party tickets are to be abolished
and a blanket ballot substituted,
on which all candidates for the
same Office are to be grouped
under one heading ON the same
ballot, and ballots are to be
mailed to voters before election
at public expense. Here surely
is a drastic change of system, as
progressive as any in tha Union.

FARM NOTES,
(By Verde Peterson, Science Teacher, Glenville
State Normal SCHOOL,

-
rut AID learn the newer and more
modern ways of farming; however
it is not best to try too many new
things the same season. Tie farm
er who has never sprayed his fruit
trees would DO we'll to try it this
year. If n farmer has not been
growing any leguminous crops, such
as the clovers, soy beans, COW peas,
he should do well to try some one
or more of these to limited extent
this year. This class of crops are
very valuable for two reasons: they
provide the protein element in food
and supply nitrogen to the soil,
which is the most expensive kind
of fertilizer, The farmer who is
contemplating raising any of these
crops would dc well to write to the
U. S. Department of Agriculture
for Bulletins on these plants.
If you have piece of land on
which you have been raising pota-
toes for number of years you will
find it very much to your advan-
tage if you will plant your potatoes
in another place and plant some
kind OF crop IN your old potatoe
patch with which you can kill out
the weeds. Oats or corn either one
followed by clover makes a good
crop for this purpose. If your po-
tatoes have become diseased this
change will help you get rid of these
diseases, since many diseases remain
i'll the soil from year to year If
you have potatoe scab You can get
rid of it very easy by soaking your
seed potatoes in formalin and plant
ing them i'll ground where potatoes
have not been or own lately. Write
to the West Virginia Experiment
Station, Morgantown w. Va, tor
information on treatment OF pota-
toes for scab.
Now is good time to be testing
and preparing seed corn. If you
have never tried testing corn for
germitiOn you can get information
and directi from the U. S. De-
partmeni of Agriculture.
Every farmer should have his
name put on the mailing list of the
West Virginia Experiment Station.
Morgantown, w. Va, and also of
The U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, Washington, D. G. A request
for this on postal card directed to
each of these departments VIII be
sufficient A farmer who does not
read the Bulletins sent out by these
departments, all of which are free
for the asking, or does not read
good agriculture papers is necessar-
lily very much handicapped IN doing
profitable, up to date farming,
The farmer who plows his red
clay fields too wet this spring will
have an interesting time this sum
mer pounding clods The presence
of SO many olods will make crops
lighter since the plants are unable
to get the plant food locked up in
these clods, the hoir roots through
which the plant food enters the
plant, can get little food from clods
The time will saon be here for
farmers to decide what kind of
horses they will try to raise next
year. The country is full of plug
horses now, 50 there is no profit in
raising that kind Careless selec-
tion in breeding is the reason wo
have so many plug horses in the
country. The farmer who has a
