The American Way.

One of the first things in con-
nection with the funeral of the
late Emperor of Japan was the
beautifully worded greeting
Secretary of State Knox brought
to the new Emperor. Of all the
foreign ENJOYS to the funeral
ceremonies, Secretary Knox was
the only one to speak English to
His Majesty and TO have gotten
beyond the purely formal. All
brought elaborate testimonials,
duly signed and sealed; but
Secretary Knox, in these we'll
chosen words, in which he ad-
dressed the Emperor. expressed
the real feelings of his country:
The late Mikado's name will
be remembered in universal his
tory for all time as great among
he worlds greatest men. The
people of America with one
heart and one mind profoundly
sympathize with Japan in her
bereavement, and at the same
time they rejoice with the Jap
anese people in that the halo
which is lighted about Mutsuhi-
to'S name will grow in glory and
brilliance with the coming of the
ages"
Taken down by one of the
grand secretaries, the tribute
was inscribed in the imperial re-
cord book at the inner palace,
was telegraphed to every part of
the Empire, and simultaneously
hundreds of thousands of mourn
ers began to repeat it with their
Shinto prayers. Already it has
become a part of the sacred liter
allure of Japan, and when one
considers the reverence with
which the japanese look upon
their Mikado, it is not idle to say
this tribute of ours accomplished,
Secretary of State will cement
anew the friendship of the two
countries. -Leslie's

Ashamed Of it.

Even the thick-and-thin sup
porters of the powers that be in
Democratic politics in Kentucky,
like the Glasgow Times, are
heartily ashamed of Kentucky's
poor showing in the recent presi-
Dental election. Says the Times:
I'm 1908 Bryan's plurality
over Taft in this state was 1881,
and in 1911 Governor McCreary,
Democrat, carried the state by
81 1886 majority over O'Rear a
Republican, with announced pro-
gressive views. The Wilson plu-
rality over Taft is approximately
LOG, 600 and over Roosevelt ap-
proximatety 114,O00, but this
majority over Taft and Roose-
welt combined is less than 5000.
1.-The slump appears to have
been heaviest in the Democratic
column, and forces the conclus-
ion that the division in the Re-
publican household was fortu-
nate thing for the Democracy.
In 1908 Bryan received 244,0 92
votes and Taft 235,71I. There,
fore the Democratic decrease
last Tuesday was approximately
%, 900 and the Republican-Pro.
gressive decrease was approx,
imately $4,000.
Whatever it was all about.
the fact remains that the De
.mocratic managers in Kentucky
have little to glorify themselves
unless it be the realization OF
Chairman Camden's declaration
for 100000 plurality for Wilson,
which appears to have been full
ly realized"
Everybody though the poor
old Republicans, knowing them
selves to be hopelessly defeated
through internal dissenslons,
would be so Disguised that many
of them would stay away from
the polls. But, disorganized and
dispirited as they were, the Re-
publicans made a better showing
than the Democrats. Owens.

Points For the Thinking Farmer

Now is an excellent time to lay that
concrete walk that you promised your
wife tor make last winter, when the
mud was ankle deep. These are eX-
cellent months for odd jobs on the
farm.
No kind of manure, either animal ex-
crement or fertilizers, will take the
place of good, thorough tillage. PlOw
the land at the right time and to the
right depth. then work it down TO a
mellow seed bed with disk and roller
and harrow.
A brick wall or foundation, while
substantial enough, looks rather old
fashioned now. The concrete or ce-
ment block foundation is the modern
type and, like most modern things. is
an improvement over that which pre-
,eded it. A great thing about concrete
Is its permanence and cheapnesA

The Plan Won't Work.

The suggestion of President
Woodrow Wilson that ne take
the oath of office as President on
March 4th and that the iDaugu-
raj ceremonies be postponed I'M
til the last Thursday of April,
won't work. We can't have an
Inauguration which is not an in
auguration any more than we can
postpone independence Day from
the 4th of July to the 18th of
August. The Inauguration of a
President is the time he takes
the oath of office and enters up
on the discharge of his duties
fixed by the Constitution for the
4th of March. We cannot change
inauguration eXcep by an amend
ment to the Constitution. The
ceremsnies must be at the time
he is indicted into office and they
cannot postponed for six weeks
or more for the reason that the
people will not go to Washing
ton after the President has al
ready been in office for six weeks,
We most heartily commend the
idea of making the Inauguration
later when the wea Their is good
but it cannot be done except by
law. President William Henry
Harrison lost his life by exposure
when he was inaugurated by
contracting pneumonia which
shortly caused his death. In
1872 when Grant was inaugural
ed for the second time we re-
member distinctly that several
of the Annapolis cadets had their
feet frozen standing in line as it
was the coolest day ever known
in Washington up to that time.
The 18th of March is an unfit
time for an inauguration on &C
count of the weather and for
this reason it should be changed
but we can't have an Inaugural
ton six weeks after the presi-
dent has been inaugurated. 1t
would be like having the play of
Hamlet with Hamlet left OUT

EXCHANGING Ideas.

1t never does anyone harm to
meet his fellows in whatever vo-
cation he may be engaged in for
purposes of exchanging ideas.
There is an ancient maxim that
says, 1.-The day is lost in which
we have not learned something
new" This, no doubt, orig
mated when the only means of
interchange of ideas and
thought was by means of meet
ing and talking with ones
neighbors. In this age, how
ever, with our numerous news
papers and magazines loaded
with good things, our telegraph
and telephone service and fast
trains, one would have to be a
hermit indeed who did not mo-
mentarily have opportunity to
hear and learn something new,
remarks an exchange.
The world has taken to special
izing in every walk of life and
the individual is required to keep
in close touch with his calling or
something new will be developed
on lines of economy and he will
very quickly lose out if not post
ed to the minute,

Recipe For success.

Keep your head cool-your feet
warm-your mind busy. Don't
worry over trifles. Plan your
work ahead, then stick to it, rain
or shine. DON'T waste sympathy
on yourself. If you are gem,
someone will find yoC. Don't
whine. Tell people you are a
failure and they will believe you.
Talk and act like a winner, and
in time you will become one.

Il viii Make Foor Land Richer and
Can Be Grown Easily.
The trouble with soils when they
cease to produce as they did when new
is not that the elements of plant food
are actually exhausted from the soil,
but the necessary forces for the liberia
ton are exhausted. One of these
forces is bacteria. 1t is estimated
that in the common soil there are $50
million bacteria to the ounce. These
bacteria must have humus (decayed
vegetable matterD for their food; then
they will liberate food for the growth
of plants.
The supply of humus, the supply of
nitrogen, the physical condition of the
soil, the penetration, aeration and
pOrosity of the subsoil. can be estab-
lished by the growth of sweet clover

is it hard plant to grow. 1t is one
Of the hardest of the leguminous
plants. 1t seems TO establish itself
on old, wornout soils where other
legumes will not grow at all and where
field crops grow so poorly as not to
pay. Owing to these characteristics
and to the fact that its bacteria are
capable of living and prospecting on
the roots of alfalfa. it is perhaps the
best possible plant with which to pre-
cede alfalfa in sections where there
is difficulty in securing a successful
growth Of that plant.-kansas Indus
