It Is evident that II MI were at

platform Efitefs wouId have had no
occasion TO assure the convention Of
that fact
The history Of the Baltimore con-
yention proves that there are many
disappointed Democrats in West
Virginia, including much Of the
Democratic machinery. A majority
OF the delegates from West Virginia
to that convention were disappointed
over the failure Of Champs Clark to
get' the nomination. for president,
ana former Governor @accorkle.
spokesman for the Clark part OF the
delegation, became SO embittered to-
ward the Wilson forces that he de-
-nounced one William j. Bryan's
resolution as "senseless and silly"
Again. the West Virginia delega-
ton as unit held out to the very
last against Wilson and only
knuckled when it saw the end of
Clark In sight.
Y The Democratic state, platform
would have the public believe after
all that that the West Yirglnians
who 1abored so hard, so long and so
fefvently for Champ Clark are now
growing over his defeat, but the
Telegram does not hear any of the
growing.
Perhaps. the state convention
meant the plank as the expression
of a hope that there would be no
dissatisfied nor disappointed Demo-
Gratis in West Virginia. but the hope
will be in vain, If the attitude of
many Democrats is a criterion.

tClap.Trap plank.

The Democratic state platform
leads OF with the following astound
ing paragraph:
1.-THE Democratic party OF West
Virginia is thankful that during the
years of ring rule and arbitrary gov
eminent with which the state has
been afflicted since 1907, it has been
true to the cause of the people,"
True to the people, did some one
say the plank says? Wonder where
and when.
The people of West Virginia
elected a Republican governor in
1886 and they have elected Repub-
lican governors ever since. Until
the last Legislature that body was
Republican a number of years.
From the date mentioned in the
plank it is evident that what the
Republican state administrations
and the legislatures did before 1907.

cratic view. With that true as indi-

its plank. What has happened
since 1907, to cause the Democratic
party of West Virginia to feel that
the Republican government since
then was not as good as it was be-
fore for a number of years?
William NJ. %. Dawson served as
governor Of the state, ending his
term in 1909. Was he good the first
two years of the term and bad the
last two years? While it is only
surmise as to what the plank is
driving at, yet under those circum-
stances, 1t is evident that something
happened about that time that dis
pleased the tax dodgers and they
have been furious ever since. They
never did like any of the Dawson tax
laws and other reform measures &C
credited to hih.
The only legislature since the re-
tirement of Dawson from the execu-
tive chair was Overwhelmingly
democratic so far as the lower
branch was concerned and the upper
branch was equally divided. Posi-
bly, that legislature exemplIfed some
ring rule and arbitrary government
not pleasing to the rank and file of
the Democratic party though benef-
cent to the party bosses and the ma
jorlty, of the democratic legislators.
There was some very loud talk
about that at the time and more or
less murmuring ever since. In
view of this, the Democratic party
of West Virginia may set claim to-
remaining true to the people, but it
must admit that the Democratic
membership of the legislature went
over almost body and soul to the
bosses, the special interests and their

CONTINUED from last week.
The Soiling System.
There are great many people in
this country who have come to the
conclusion that the soiling system
offers many advantages over pas
lures. | have had considerable ex
perience with soiling crops. and have
become entirely converted to the fact
that there Is place in our western
agriculture for this system of hus
bandry. BY "soiling' we mean grow.
Ing a constant succession of crops

mails in an inclosure The advantages
claimed for this system over pastur.
age are numerous. 1t is claimed that
1t saves land; End. saves fences;

ton of beef, milk, wool or mutton: 9Th.
increased quality and quantity of
barnyard manure. The disadvantages
are, that 1t requires increased labor.
On our small irrigated farms, how
ever, there is no question but that
the increased profit more than COM
pensates for the extra labor. Mr.. H.
Stewart, who has had many years
OF experience in soiling, says that
$l.O0 spent in extra labor by this sys-
tenn. Is replaced ten times over in the
saving of land, saving of feed and
saving OF manure. There is no rea-
son why the farmer should object to
the extra labor when there is found to
be profit in it. 1t is rarely that a
man accumulates wealth from the Ia
Dor of his own hands.
Some of our Western farmers have
tried this system and have found that
the soiling system gives even better
results here than in the Eastern Sec
ton. This is due to the fact that in
the East lack of moisture may at
critical times seriously retard the
growth of plants, while here under ir-
rigation moisture can be applied at
any time desired. .......-
Some years ago / made an expert
ment with the soiling system In Salt
Lake county. 1t may seem somewhat
surprising to say that the product OF
two acres Of ground proved sufficient
to maintain IL dairy cows from the
18th of May until the 9Th of October.
1t should be added. however, that
these cows ate in addition to the
feeds suggested here, some alfalfa,
and each had daily grain ration
varying from four to eight pounds.
The following soiling crops were used
and the time of sowing is shown,
as well as the time of cutting, the
daily feed per cow and the average
required for IL cows:
