WHERE PRoeREssIvEs ERR

The editor of the San Bernardino Index, who is something of a progress sive, believes that the constitution of the United States is the greatest ob- stacle in the way of true progress. He feels that he has a proper, but not an abnormal respect for the fathers. They were all right according to their lights, but they did not dwell within the rays of that refulgent, white light which Eliminates the region around San Berdoo. He favors the election as well as the nomination of presi- dents by popular vote.
 This is a subject that had been giv- en good deal of attention by compe- tent persons before the wave of pro- gressiveism struck California, even be fore California was admitted to the Union, and at the conclusion of a care full consideration of the matter it was universally agreed that our present system of choosing presidents was the best that could be devised, the representative. There have, of course been no developments since to indi- cate that the conclusion was not cor rect.
 The trouble with the progressive movement is that so many who are taking part in it do not know the meaning of their party name, and are apt to confound experimentation with progress. If all the members of the

Crop Rotation.

In testing crops at the Rhode Island experiment station striking differ ence is noticed according to what crops are planted on the land the year before. Crops were poor, following cabbage, turnips and buckwheat. They were better following potatoes, and best of all following such crops as clover and redtop. These results in general, accord with the experience of farmers, some of whom have insisted that turnips and buckwheat poison the soil. Probably the fact is that they use up most of the plant food, being able, to flourish under hard conditions. On the other hand, every farmer knows that a good strong sod of clover or even of grass, is a good foundation for a good crop.

THE APPOINTMENTS
(Douglas International

In the consideration of applicants for appointment under the first state administration, Governor Hunt and other state officers should hold stead fastly to the one purpose to appoint no man to any position that he is not qualified to discharge the duties required by such an appointment. Be- cause a man has been loyal to the Democratic party and Democratic can- didateS will not overcome Incompetent cy. There are many thousands of competent and loyal Democrats in Arizona to make appointm ents from, and no excuse will hold should any incompetent man be found in any po- sition. Nearly all of the appointive positions require clerical ability such as chief and assistant clerks in the various departments of the govern ment It is not every loyal Democrat who can fill efficiently, clerical posi- tion, but there are an abundance of those who can. Governor Hunt in a statement given to the press only a few days before the election declared that every man receiving an appoint ment from him would be qualified to discharge the duties imposed upon him, and Governor Hunt may be re- lied upon to follow this excellent po- Hey, and it is to be hoped that every other state official will adopt and fol low a like course.

HARMON'S IDEA OF PUBLIC ECONOMY.

At the time in 1910, when everybody began to feel the pinch of the high cost of living, Gov. Harmon wrote letter to the heads of Ohio Institutions urging the utmost economy consistent with good management. In part the letter read: 'The. people of Ohio have never been disposed to be niggardly with the institutions they maintain. On the contrary, they have always wished the inmates and pupils there in to have every reasonable provision, but there is no reason why these should be better provided for than citizens are generally able to provide for themselves. It is only just and fair that when the people are compep- ed to economize and many of them to deny themselves and their families, the officers, inmates and pupils of pub lie institutions should do likewise
 Meanwhile you and the various off cers and employees of your institu- ton are directed at once to scrutin- ize with care the selection, purchase and use of all supplies, with view omy means just the same in a public institution as in a private household going without expensive things, or us- ing less of them or cheaper substi- tutes. Then people of the state, whom we all serve, cannot reproach us with la of the practical sympathy which is their due in return for their noble public. charity which, even amid the hardships which beset them, they are willing appropriately to maintain" :"

A recent editorial in the New York

A recent editorial in the New York Times reads in part as follows:
 The study of Gov. Judson Harmon which the Times has submitted to it's readers throws a good deal of light not only on his interesting personality but on the conditions of political life for the past decade. Here is a citizen of marked ability, who stands high in his profession of law, who has serv- ed with credit as head of the depart ment of justice in the national govern ment at a time of especial stress, who comes rather rapidly into the field of presidential probabilities by virtue of the energy, probity and skill with which he has done the work of EXecu- tive in his own state.
 His workmanship has been shown not merely in clearing out bad timber in the edifice of the state, but in re- placing it with good material and strengthening the construction at weak and exposed points.
 Gov Harmon has taken a broad view of the relation of his office to the people. He has not contented himself with the relatively simple and conspicuous work of unveiling bad con duct and chasing the guilty out of public life. He has secured legisla- ton that makes bad conduct far less easy and safe.
 The reform of the tax laws, in which he has been very active and which has unquestionably given to him large share of the extraordinary popularity that he enjoys, has been sound and valuable achievement of no low order.
 We think that the unvarnished ac- count given by our correspondent of the career of Gov. Harmon, and of the l feeling of his fellow-citizens for him, and the cause of it, show him to be a man of native strength of mind and character, trained by experience and vigorous exercise. The quiet and root ed confidence which the people of his own states how in him and have so strikingly maintained is a factor of real political and moral value.

tions attempt to ride rough-shod over the employer, regardless of laws or constitution there must be a tribunal free, independent and untrammeled, to hold both the employer and wage earner in check. To compel each to respect the constitutional and legal rights of the other. The federal courts is the tribunal to protect the consti- tutional rights of American citizens and often it is necessary that these rights be protected quickly and effec- lively and injunctions are temporari- 1y issued when the offended party has no other adequate remedy at law. Neither organized labor, or the en- ployers, should be permitted to con stitute themselves the court. Their decisions, if such was the case, would be biased and prejudiced and equal jutice to all would be impossible. We all desire that the wage earners of Arizona shall be fairly and justly dealt with. No more and no less. But labor organizations should strike from their list propositions the one which seeks to give them the control of our public officers, and especially control of our judicial department. In this demand the labor organizations have gone a step too far.

REPUBLICANS IN A BAD WAY

It must be diScOuraging to the fol lowers of Taft to hear him admit that the Republican party stands in dang CT of being defeated in the election of 1912, especially just on the compile tion of thirteen thousand mile swing around the country in an effort to re- juvenate the g. O. p. The only hope for the party is for Democracy to make some grave error, either in leg islation enacted at the present session of congress or in the selection of candidate to oppose Taft at the polls | Taft will be re-nominated and Taft must be opposed by the strongest Dem ocrat in the country or Taft will be reelected president.
 And there must be no mistake made by the Democrats in selecting a can didate. Gov. Harmon, of Ohio, we be- lieve stands the best chance because we believe he can carry Ohio over Taft, and Ohio is a necessary state for the Democrats to have in their column, just as it is for the Republi- cans to have especially in the coming contest. Harmon carried Ohio in the last election by many thousand more votes than did Taft for presii lent. He has demonstrated his ability to poll a larger vote in the state than Taft can, even while running for governor. AS presidential candidate he can doubt less poll larger vote than he did for governor The masses in Ohio have confidence in his ability to conduct the national government as success fully and with the same degree of credit and ability as he has the affairs of the state. And the masses have rap- idly lost confidence in the ability of Taft Thousands of independent vot- CTS will cast their ballot for the one who seems to have the better chance of winning, and as the advantage now seems to be with the Democrats, with Harmon at the head of the ticket, Ohio will roll up Democratic major ity never equalled by Harmon him. self.-Hot Springs (Arkansas) Daily | News

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

Sow wood ashes broadcast in the or chard.
 Ashes spread under pear trees are good as a tonic Most soils lack what ashes give.
 Do not fail to mulch the strawberry patch this fall. It may prevent their freezing out.
 Rub off the water sprouts of tree it with your fingers.
 Don't sell all the good apples. Keep some of the best for home use. Noth- ing is too good for us farmers.
 Pick up the culls and feed them to the hogs. Many of the next seasons pests may come from fruit left on the ground.
 In picking and packing any fruit for shipment or sale. it pays to use good new packages and grade the fruit carefully.
 The grape is one of the surest bear CTS, as it fruits on new wood. If some are killed it puts out fresh wood and bears grapes.
 While the orchard is coming into bearing try vegetable growing as a side line This makes one of the surest and best sources of income.
 An orchard that is poorly planted and carelessly managed the first year is often an irregular, unprofitable or chard for it's entire existence.
 Three years of spraying, pruning and cultivation will bring an orchard that you are ashamed of into a condf ton that you will be proud of.
 Pruning during the dormant sea son encourages vegetable growth. Weak trees may be invigorated by proper pruning when dormant.
 Scrape off loose, peeltng bark from the trunks of trees before spraying them, because this serves as an ex- cellent breeding place for insects.
 Unless rotten apples are promptly removed from the orchard, fruit pests will have an ideal place in which to hibernate during the winter months.
 To secure a maximum crop of fruit of the best quality it is necessary for each tree in the orchard to have a maximum amount of vigorous fruit bearing surface.

WIND.REAKs ON DRY FARMS
Not the Easiest Kind of Job on the BenchIands-Some Seasons Op-
 perfume for Work.

If the dry west is to become coun- try of homes, 1t will be found neces- sary to furnish the same with pro lection. Many will be ready to say, that this can be easily done. Such statement may not be exactly true, says the Dakota Farmer. It is not al- ways easily done. It may in some instances be on of the tasks that is hardest for the bench land farmer to accomplish. But in most instances It would seem safe to say that 1t can be accomplished.
 In undertaking this work, it is well to look ahead. There are seasons that are specially opportune for beginning this work. The present is one of them. The soil is in that condition that will admit of it's being broken up easily and deeply. The present, there fore, is a good time to undertake this work. By blowing deeply and by then working carefully on the surface un- til the winter approaches, the land will be in a good condition for start ing windbreak the following season.
 The kind of windbreak that prob ably gives best promise at the present time is white or gray willow. So little has been done in wide areas of the northwest, that no one can say deh- nitely at the present time the kind of plant that will best serve the purpose. It would seem safe to say, however, that the areas are few in which the white willow will not succeed under reasonably possible conditions of growth.
 The grower, however, must make up his mind to cultivate the trees for several years, not fewer probably than four or five. The cultivation need not extend very far from the trees the first year, but even then it would be an advantage as it would open up the soil for the better storage of water. Where water can be supplied from a tank the task is much simpler, but this is possible only in very limited number of instances. This problem however, is one that must be faced It may be deferred for time, but where homes are to be permanent they must be protected.

progressive party, or majority of them could grasp that distinction, and if, in the selection or acceptance of their leaders, they could distinguish between the statesman and the dema- gogue, the progressives would make substantial progress.
 We all desire to move forward. We all realize that things are not quite as they should be, but some of us are apathetic and others of us do not want to start until we know whither we are bound. The so-called pro- gressive is not troubled by these Hmi- tations. He has the proper fire and spirit; he lacks only discretion.

To Kill Bull ThistIes.

Bull thistles, common in pastures, cannot always be killed by moving. Moving tends to prevent maturity of seed. Cutting off the thistles below the surface of the ground two or three times a year will eradicate them.

MetalIography. M

Metaliography, or the study of the biography of structural metals, is the new science now being studied by six eminent scientists from as many diff ferent countries, who are devoting their lives to the safeguarding of hu- man life through removing the defects in steel rails, girder beams and all manner of construction. According 10 H. H. Howe, the American mem Der of the committee, the study has so far advanced that it is now pos sible to tell by what method every step in the construction of a piece of steel was accomplished. It is done by saw ing off a cross section of the rail or girder, polishing the end to a mirror like brightness, treating it with strong acid and observing the effect through the microscope. Overheating in the furnaces. overcarboniEation, too rapid or too slow cooling and other errors in manufacture are easily detected. MT. Howe says that the method would be successful in the study of a piece of iron cast 2,000 years ago.

William Ness Walker some years ago when he was mayor.
 Maintaining a custom dating back to the thirteenth century, the mayor, cor p0ration and town officials of Tiverton went through the formality of pro- claiming the peoples right to the town leat. a stream of water last week. The seven miles course of the stream was followed, the procession being headed by a number of men armed with picks, shovels, saws, hammers and crowbars with which to remove any obstruction which might be found in the stream. The bailiff proclaimed the peoples right to the leat, and then there was the customary scramble for new pennies and buns.-London Mail.
