MR.. NEWTON AND RUSSELL.
ISM, ONCE MORE

In reply to MIR. Newton's question
ss to who pays for the insertion of
Russell's sermons. we reply: We
were not paid anything for inserting
the sermon-did not order ibid not
read it. 1t came to us in plate, ex-
press prepaid. 1t was inserted as
makeshift-in a hurry, to fill up
space. Any other sermon or speech,
from any one else, would have, per
haps, been treated similarly. This is
not to say that we do not censor, as
a rule, what goes into the paper. We
knew about what, in general way,
Russell would say, and really there
were some fine things in the sermon,
as we afterwards discovered. Of
course somebody is paying for the
manufacture of these plate sermons,
express, etc. We presume Mr.. Rus
sell is doing the paying himself, as
an advertising scheme, perhaps. At
least he shows his faith by his works
is willing to spend his money in
order to propagate his doctrine-an
example that might be initiated by
others.
But, Russellism aside, as neither
here nor there. The point involved
here is of more Importance, perhaps,
viz: drawing the line between what
should and should not be printed in
newspaper, and who is to draw the
line. OF our entire list of readers,
numbering about ten thousand, only
two SO far have indicated their dis
approval of the aforesaid publication.
We see that the Roanoke Times lost
two subscribers last week on account
of something Mr.. Williams said about
the Aliens and Mr.. Bryan. What are
we to do? Mr.. Newton declares that
if we had "inserted a sermon from
any minister of any denomination
who breaches sound doctrine, would
offer no word of criticism" But
what is "sound doctrine 2" Mr..
Newton is loyal Baptist. Would
he consider sermon preached by
brother Wingo or brother Wiley, on
Infant baptism and sprinkling as the
mode, "sound doctrine 20 II we were
to publish sermon on "falling from
grace" would Mr.. Newton approve
and allow his homefolks to read it?
He believes in these "false doc
trines" referred to just about as
firmly as he does in Russellism, and
yet he says he would "offer no word
of criticism" if we were to publish
such sermon. The point is, be level
headed, not one-sided. Be consistent.
Some Democrats "cuss' if we saw
ought that is good of Republican.
Some Republicans "cuss" if their
paper speaks we'll of Democrat.
Some people "cuss' if Il word of
criticism is uttered against MIR.
Brayn; others, if he is praised.
Some "cuss'' if wor.. is uttered in
favor of the Aliens; others, if against
them. So, there you are. If we pro-
pose to live and move in a narrow
little groove 1t is our privilege to do
so. If Mr.. Newton wants a newspaper
which publishes all the time only
what he considers "sound doctrine. &"
he can do nothing but cut out all his
reading matter. except his denomina-
tional weekly, and the editor who
undertakes to publish only such mat
ter as he. the editor, considers
sound doctrine well, he would
show himself soon as great ignor-
anus, and this for only a very short
time. Incidentally Pastor Russell is
getting just what he wants, "a good
deal of free advertising. So, let's
drop it.

In a prominent place in the exhibit iS
to be seen the Alfalfa Widow, depicting
a beautiful woman whose princess dress
is made from the tops Of 10000 alfalfa
plants, and required 10000 stitches.
Her hat is made of alfalfa plants,
with an alfalfa plume, while she
holds a bunch of plucked alfalfa flowers.
This figure attracts much attention
wherever the exhibit is shown, and was
designed by Mrs. VIM. James, OF Dor
chester, Neb., the wife of VIM. James,
advertising representative of The North
Western Ry., who conceived the idea
of this exhibit, and who has been IN
charge wherever exhibited.
Mr.. James, who is recognized as an
alfalfa expert throughout the United
States, and who has held prominent
positions in connection with the Ne
braska State Fair and the Nebraska
exhibits at the Omaha, st. Louis and
Portland Expeditions, first put his con-
ception of this alfalfa exhibit into form
at the Omaha Land Show, in January,
1911, but during all of the past year,
while exhibiting it throughout the
country, has amplifed and enlarged his
conception until at the present time it
is a most unique and instructive display
of the growth and development Of the
alfalfa industry. He has elaborated his
design SO that it shows every phase Of
alfalfa growing and feeding. The
model farm shows alfalfa culture in every
form, as well "a giving a complete ex-
position of the immense acreage sown to
alfalfa, and the increase in price that has
followed the development of this crop.
This model farm contains a most inter
esting object lesson in showing the most
modern feeding racks for sheep, arranged
so that a farmer need not set any part OF
the rack in the ground, and so as to give
the largest possible feeding surface.
These racks can easily be taken down
and piled up when not in use. The most
improved methods of fencing and the use
of alfalfa pastures in the feeding OF hogs
ia shown. The model concrete silo fol
the dairy is an example of the recent
construction along that line.
This practical demonstration Of the
value Of alfalfa as a food product has
brought this exhibit into great demand
and has been Of immense value to IN
creased growth of this fodder croE
along The North Western Line. "A
all OF these exhibits Mi. James ha
lectured on the Importance OF alfalfa a
an all around food, especially for all liv,
stock. He claims that it ranks wit
corn in every respect, containing all tn
elements for the formation Of tissue, in
Guiding flesh and bone. With corn !
makes an ideal balanced ration. On
feature Mr.. James claims makes it dis
~tinctive in the grasses, viz: that it is
nlant food as well as a food for hv
stock, in addition to being groun
into meal or flour, it is also mad
into palatable bread for the human,
fact which may yet bring it into as muc
prominence as some Of the cereals, ia

TOR the past year The North Western
Ry. Co. has been demonstrating the
possibilities of the raising of alfalfa
by a most attractive and unique exhibit,
which has been made at the various
land shows at Chicago, Omaha and st.
Paul, and practically oil of the western
state fairs, as we'll as at hundreds OF
towns and cities along the lines Of that
railroad.
This exhibit is typical Of the western
plains and mountains, and, while repre-
sented in miniature, is an object lesson
that at once impresses the visitor and
proves most instructive to him.
That this exhibit has brought forth
great results is shown by the fact that
in the sections traversed by the exhibit
hundreds Of farmers are now growing
alfalfa, where two years ago there were
none. The display shows in miniature
a complete picture of a beautiful alfalfa
country, with the foothills in the back
ground, from which sheep are shipped to
the feeding yards where they are nm,
ished off, on alfalfa and o mlxed
ration of corn and alfalfa and put IN
condition for market. The feeding. OF
range cattle is also depicted, showing
them rapidly taking. on flesh from the
alfalfa diet. A model dairy with COOLING
rooms, stanchions and all the best ap-
p~liances used in the business, is seen, To-
gether with the silo, where the ahaia Is
mixed with less valuable milk producing
plants, and is cut, ~shredded anu pun Ill
pickle, as it is called, and then fed.
Another portion of the exhibit demon
strates the fattening of hogs on alfalfa.

POISONED WATER KILLS s

that their recovery is doubtful, the

sale poisoning on the Rosalie ranch,

Mexicans and take the law into their
own hands.
A barrel of drinking water on the
Rosalie ranch was poisoned with ar
senio and resulted in the death of M.

bors summoned to the Diaz home

POTATO CROP SHOWS GAIN

Vast Acreage Has Been
Planted.

st. Paul July 11-According to re.
ports received by the immigration
commissioner, H. J. Maxf1eld, from his
fieldmen throughout the state, Min
nesota is to have one of the largest
potato crops in its history. The esti-
mates from % counties show increases
Of from to over 100 per cent. An
estimate of the average increase in
yield Is 20 per cent, according to
the report.
Minnesota raised 100000 bushels
OF potatoes last year and an increase
OF 20 per cent means approximately
100000 bushels. If the prices are as
high this year as last, the farmers will
pocket more than $2,500,0O0. Although
the increase is due largely to the in.
crease of acreage on account Of the
high prices of last year Mr.. Maxfleld
says the production this year is much
better than last year.
Hennepin county shows an increase
Of over rs per cent over last year. D
E. Ryan says that there are from
100000 to 100000 bushels Of pota
toes shipped from Hennepin County
this year. Douglas county, according
to the report, shows the largest in
crease, 1913 per cent. Ramsey county
shows up we'll with an increase In
yield of 100 per cent.

JOB HARTMAN IS ACCUSED
QUESTIONED As HAVING PRIOR
KNOWLEDGE OF DYNAMlTING,
Develops That Effort Was Made t.
lndict Hlm-DenIes
Charge.

Los Angeles, Cal, July 11.-During
the cross-examination of Job Harri-
man, a Socialist leader of national
prominence in the bribery trial Of
Clarence S. Darrow, 1t developed that
an effort had been made by political
enemies to indict Hartman for COM
plicity In the dynamiting of the Los
Angeles Times building months after
the Mcnamara brothers had confessed
and since the Darrow trial began.
No one in the courtroom apparently
was more startled than Hartman
when he was questioned by the district
attorney as to his knowledge of the
dynamiting of the Times plant. The
district attorney declared in reply to
an objection by the defense that he
was seeking to show that Harriman's
relations with the dynamiters were
more damaging than those of attor-
ney" and that his connection with tho
jury bribery trial was more akin to
that of defendant"
This statement was made after Har-
riman had been asked concerning con-
versatiOns with Edward Adams Can't
| rell and Frank b. Merriam. in which
he was alleged to have admitted prior
knowledge that the Times building
was to have been dynamited. 1t was
Cantrell, also candidate for office
during the last municipal campaign,
and Merriam, the secretary-treasurer
Of the state Socialist party, who, ac-
cording to Hartman, went before the
grand jury last month and gave in
formation which they hoped would re-
suit in Harriman's indictment
Hartman, according to the question
read by District Attorney Fredericks,
had said to Cantrell at San Luis Obs
pc, Cal, the day after the Times was
blown up, referring to the disaster:
1T means that the boys are on tho
job"
Hartman emphatically denied ever
having made such statement.
