THE sILo, A FoRAeE BANK

There is produced every year in this
country sufficient forage to feed liberally
all the live stock Of the land and leave
a good balance besides. The shortage
Of supplies each year is due to the
spelling and wasting Of forage already
grown, and the mesns Of preserving
this forage will solve the stock prob
lem Of the country. The principal
waste is now going on with the corn
plant 1t is most noticeable in the corn
belt states where perhaps 80 percent Of
the stalk and leaves Of the most valu-
able forage is ~asted annually. As
economic stock production is determined
by the proper use Of the forage, the slo
furnishes a means whereby all farm
forage can be preserved and placed in
The silo is too well known to require a
description Of its merhod, but its use
is certainly sadly wanting. 1t can be
safely said, on any farm where ten head
or more. OF cattle are kept, silo is Il
proper equipment ana Of great econo-
mic value.
Besides corn, excellcnt silage may be
made from alfalfa, clover, oats and peas,
rye, sorghum, ksffir corn millett and
mile maize. While corn iS the principle
STOP for silage, it is often found advIsa-
BILE TO make silage from other plants,
especially during drouth seasone, when
excellent sorghum aud kaffir corn can
be grown as catch crop. The first
cutting Of alfalfa hay during the wet
season is often lost. This could be put
into silo and saved and fed during the
summer months, as the silo can be re-
filled in the fall with corn or kaffir
corn.
During the recent years we have no
ted steady increase in the price OF hay
in fact all forage has comm anded a very
high price, and it is necessary for the
stock keeper to produce forage at less
money than hay il he wishes to realize
good profit on his stock. In thi.
capacity the silo comes as great boon

with the democrats Of this House, and
will not possess with those Of the next.
In the Senate he has never been strong.
No democratic leader there since 1896
has been, properly speaking a Bryan
man. Mr.. German was anti-Bryan, and
Mr.. Martin is classed as one. And even
senators who have supported Mr.. Bryan
with cordially have never encouraged his
disposition to instruct them in their
course.
The Bryanite criticism of Mr.. Martin
and Mr.. Simmons takes the form OF an
assertion that they are not in sympathy
with the principles of the democracy now
triumphant. But Mr.. Martin has within
year been voted another term as SEN
ator, while Mr. Simmons only last month
won at the polls on an appeal for an
Endorsement Of his record In the Senate
So far, then, as the democrats OF VIZ
ginia and North Carolina are concerned,
Mr.. Martin and Mr.. Simmons are ortho-
dox and up-to-date. To rebuke them IN
the organization of the new Senate would
be to rebuke their constituents.
Seniority, OF course, spells both expert
ence and ability. Now and then man
without qualifications for legislative work
finds his way to the Senate as the result
of local party wrangling which has made
an entirely At man impossible. but no
such man ever maintains himself In the
office The Senates is severe test: ana
the men who stay term after term show
such qualifications for their duties as
entitle them to a good deal of considera-
ton. In March Mr.. Martin will enter on
his fourth consecutive term. and Mr..
Simmons on his third.

Col. Goethals and 1915.

Former REPRESENTATIVE Tawney suggests
Col. Goethals for 1916. Mr.. TaWney Is
a republican Does he know the politics
of Col. Cocktails? Probably not. Ills
calculation does not take that point INTO
consideration. He sees the repuohcahs
I'm need of strong candidate that year
one free from all factional entangle-
ments-and he figures that Col. Goethals
will fill the bill The fame OF the per-
formances at Panama will be fresh, ana
the people glad to improve an opportunity
to put the canal builder into the White
House.
This recalls the case of Gen. Grant In
1888 The republicans then were in need
of q man to unite their factions. They
had had a stormy three years under An
drew johnson. and were then much up
set Grant was the military hero of the
civil war, and as such very influential In
the country.
The suggestion of his name instantly
produced an inquiry as to his politics
He had been a democrat before the war.
Had he emerged from the struggle OF
the same party? Or had he. like a
number of others, changed parties under
the changed circumstances? Grant re-
whether wisely for his fame or personal
comfort will always remain a subject
for discussion.
Mr.. Tawney mentions the great tributes
paid Admiral Dewey on his return from
the Philippines. 1t Is to be remembered,
too that the hero of Manila bay was
mentioned for the democratic nomination
for President in 1900 Luckily for Ad-
mral Dewey. the suggestion was not
pressed. He is still in active service in
the field Of his choice, and performing
valuable work for the country. But had
he been elected President, and been
pulled and hauled by the politicians this
way and that. he might long since have
gone to his grave.
Col Goethals has done a great work at
Panama, and is nearing the end of it with
worldwide reputation. So far, politics
has not disturbed him at all. His COM
mission has had nothing of politics in it.
Everybody has applauded his great abil-
ity and industry as an engineer; and
while the canal exists the name of its
builder will survive.
The presidency is another proposition.
It's duties are not beyond the man who
as the engineer in charge of colossal
undertaking has shown large capacity as
an organizer. But would Col. Goethals
care for change Of base from the army
to politics? And then 1916 Is three years
away. and Mr.. Wilson has yet to show
whether the next republican nomination
for President will be valuable or not.

Loose Motor Law Interpretation.

II is obvious that the Maryland authori-
ties upon whom falls the duty of enforc
ing the automobile license law must get
together and agree upon a consistent sys-
tenn of application SO that there will be
no hardship or discrimination. Constable
Shaw. whose recent activity In Mont
gomery county has raised storm of pro-
test. declares that he has interpreted this
law on his own initiative, and. regardless
of what may be done elsewhere In the
state. has undertaken to fine District
motorists from s. to SO apiece in case
their tags We're not fastened so as not
10 swing When asked why there was
such a rigid application of the law in his
part OF the state while fully 30 per cent
OF the machines In Baltimore carry their
tags swinging by straps. the constable
defends his action by the declaration that
he interprets the law as he finds it and
not as some one else may see 1t. In other
words, the motorists of the District of
Columbia who are compelled to cross into
Maryland with their machines are at the
mercy of an uninstructed interpreter of
the law whose view of the statute is
plainly at variance with that of others
equally charged with it's enforcement.
This state of things should be promptly
remedied. II is plain that the District
citizens cannot be left to suffer such ex-
tortions unless Il is the definite policy of
the state of Maryland to apply the law
against them with discriminating severity.
Before determining upon course Of local
action ii will be necessary to secure from
the state authorities an explicit declara-
ton upon this point. AS for the swinging
Or non-swinging license tags themselves,
they can doubtless be made 10 conform to
even the most rigid requirement of the
Maryland law. even though IL be unrea-
sonable. But what those who have been re-
Gently mulcted by the Montgomery county

The Virginia Presidents. properly So

son, Monroe and Tyler. They were not
only born i'm the state, but resided there
and were trained in politics there. They
represented what was then and still is
known as the Virginia school of politics.
although Washington was much more of
a Hamiltonian than a JefferSonian. All
but Tyler achieved marked success in the
White House. He, entering by the agency

Wilson's Political Gospel.
From the PHILADELPHIA Ledger.


While Col. Roosevelt in Boston was
urging the nation to prepare for war and,
Enthusiastically, inveighing against ar
bitration. the President-elect at his old
home was expressing the belief that more
and more ways are being discovered OF
rendering service to mankind without the
splitting Of blood and expressing the
hope that his old friends and playmates
and the men of the southland had discov-
cred what was long ago known at the
north by all intelligent men: that Sec
tional lines had long ago been obliter-
ated. There are no vestiges OF rancor
or hate. nor even a suspicion or doubt
remaining, to separate this people, bound
by ties of perfect kinship and animated
by the same aims. aspirations and ideals.
and all committed to the service Of a
common country, one and indivisible. 1t
is, nevertheless happy circumstance
that a southern President-elect shall
make his confession of perfect faith on
southern soil at his old home. and thus
prove the most appropriate messenger Of
good will

Our Stupendous Philanthropies.
From the New York World.

The list of American benefactions in
sums of $4,000 and upward amounts this
year to 1927 100000. The sum is stupen-
dous when compared with that in any
European country, but not abnormal in
our own. The largest contribution comes
from J. Pierpont Morgan instead of from
Carnegie or Rockefeller, for many
years past and is made up almost wholly
of art treasures presented to the Metro
poitan Museum. This probably means
that when the Carnegie Corporation and
the Rockefeller Foundation have been
mpletely endowed shall have no
more such huge donations from single
individuals. The determination of the
people to prevent any further accumula-
lions of such wealth through monopoly
and privilege virtually assures the end
of that regime The passing Of Mr.. Nor
gan to the head of the list may mean the
beginning of a new era in our philanthro-
pies.

The Garment Workers Strike.

The year 1912 is closing with the
starting of strike in New York city
that will in all likelihood give rise to
great distress and perhaps much seri-
Gus trouble. About 10000 garment
workers are today quitting work. and it
is expected that their numbers will be
increased perhaps even to 100000. Over
10000 women are among these strik-
ers They are demanding increases
of from Is to 90 per cent in wages an
eight-hour day. full pay for overtime,
sanitary shops, no sweatshop or tene-
ment house work and the abolition of
the subcontractor system. In peculiar
way the public is vitality interested in
this militant protest of the garment
workers Recent revelations before an
investigating committee in New York
city have disclosed conditions in this
trade that directly affect the health of
the people Garments are manufactured
in tenements and small sweatshops by
workers affected with infectious dis
eases and all the laws of sanitation
are ignored by employers. and. through
their ignorance, by the workers them
selves. OF course, those who are now
striking are thinking only of their own
welfare. They are chiefly concerned in
the demand for more pay and shorter
hours and overtime compensation, but
the public may incidentally be benefited
by the reforms that are likely to be eff
fected through this strike.
notwithstanding the public concern in
the situation however, nothing will
serve to justify the violence that it is to
be feared. will attend the struggle between

Offensive Billboards.
From the Boston Post.

Why" asks the clever painter of out
door life Adam Albright, denouncing the
bilboards Of Chicago. why does the law
permit man to rent the landscape?'
That is new turn to the old thought.
The owner of field believes that he has
a perfect right to authorize an advertis-
ing company to disfigure its beauty with
a hideous row of billboards. and so he
has, legally. Yet he is maintaining a
nuisance as truly as the man who per-
mits an evil smell or foul water on his
premises. Some day Gods out-of-doors
will be freed from the curse of these
nuisances to the eye. We have begun to
free our parks already. The world is
coming to regard the value of beauty as
next to that of virtue and orderliness.
