Is He Right?

The following from a country
merchant to the Chicago Trib.
une, will open up a discussion
along certain lines:
AS an interested reader of your
strong advocacy of the parcels
post" l wish heartily to COM
mend the stand you take. Your
editorials on the matter drive q
nail in the coffin of the adver.
saries of the coffin. Continue
hitting the nail on the head and
we will soon have the express
octopus deeply buried, high
rates and all.
AS a country merchant l will
hail with delight the advent of
a parcels post. There is moth.
ing to this hue and cry about
the parcels post running the
country merchant" Meat -four,
sugar, dry goods, hardware, and
other staples will still come the
same old way, and the majority
of the articles affected will be
those listed by the catalogue
houses which it does not pay the
country merchant to carry in
stock, and if it does hit him,
have him meet catalogue compe-
tition. Do away with old fogy
ideas; clean up the shelves; do
more business on a casa basis;
install system; read the Work
ers Magazine" in The Tribune,
and the country merchant will
soon discover the parcels post Is
blessing in disguise.
May we have for our next pres
ident a man with the nerve to
WELD the big stick" when nec-
essary. An honest revision of
downward tariff, with no partial
ity shown to any particular in
terest. Then give us the parcels
post and watch the country mer.
chant prosper. S. T. K1MBELL.

Spreading Line.

An Oswego (Kan. subscriber
asks if he should use lime on his
manure piles or in the barn in
order to get it mixed with man.
ure say Kansas Farmer.
Under no conditions should
lime be applied to manure or lite
ter in the barn or to piles of
manure. The Michigan Exper-
iment Station says Ilime should
be applied in whatever form used,
after the plowing has been done
and Should theu be thoroughly
narrowed into the surface soil.
It is best to make the applica-
tion some little time before SOW
ing the crop. A satisfactory
way is to distribute the material
in piles two rods apart each way,
and then later each pile can be
spread with a shovel over an
area extending about one rod in
all directions from the pile
each pile is spread so as to cover
four square rods of area. A
fairly even distribution can be
made in this way and the distri-
button is improved when the
lime is narrowed into the soil.
BY this method there will be 40
piles to the acre. The amount
of material to be put in each pile
is found by dividing the rate Of
application in pounds per acre
by forty. If the rate be eight
hundred pounds per acre, twenty
pounds is the amount per pile.
II the rate be twelve hundred
pounds per acre thirty pounds is
the amount per pile.
The manure spreader has been
recommended for spreading lime.
The method proposed is to load
the spreader just full with man
ure, being careful to level the
load evenly. A proper amount
of lime lis then spread over the
top of the load and is thus spread
with the manure. Some objec-
tion has been offered to this
method in windy weather. The
amount of lime to be added to
each load of manure may be de-
termined by dividing the inten-
ded application per acre by the
number of loads of manure which
is being applied per acre. If
six loads of manure is the rate of
application and nine hundred
pounds of lime is to be applied
per acre one hundred and fifty
pounds is the weight of lime to
be added to each load of manure.
If 1900 pounds is the rate at
which the lime is to be applied
per acre. then two hundred
pounds of lime is added to each

deals out to the Jewish people.


It is a fundamental and cher.
ished principle of this republic
that no man shall be discrimin-
ated against on account of his
religious beliefs and It is con-
trary to that principle if any
American citizen is Disseminated
against either at home or abroad
on account of his religious be-
liefs.
Now as / have said, we have
been fooling along with Russia
for 40 years protesting against
the way she has acted concern
ing certain of our citizens, but so
far our protests have amounted
to nothing.
Russia has gone right along
refusing to honor the passports
of American citizens and not all
of them have been Jews either.
What makes the case more ex.
asperating, and what causes an
American citizen to get heated
up under the neckband is the
fact that while Russia refuses to
honor the passports of American
citizens whose religious beliefs
do not happen to suit the mana
gers of the cars government, or
who for some other reason may
not be entirely agreeable to the
Russian government she does
honor without question the pass
ports of British citizen no mat
ter whether he be Jew or Gentle.
1t is this feature of the case, this
evident intent-to rub it in that
makes sovereign of this bully
country sore all over when he
thinks about it.
So at this session of congress
Representative Sulzer, of New
York, who / think perhaps is a
descendant of Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob, introduced his res olu-
ton providing for the abrog a.
ton of the treaty. at the earliest
possible moment, which would
be one year from the date of the
final passage of the resolution.
The treaty provided that one
years notice must be given be-
fore either nation can declare it
off for good.
Now in view of the fact that
this government has for 40 years
been politely requesting Russia
to do the square thing according
to the terms of the treaty, which
Russia has in diplomatic Ian
guage been telling US to go where
the average temperature is sup
posed to be much higher than it
is either here or in Russia, it
would seem that it is about time
to get down to business and quit
fooling.
If a citizen of the United States
cannot have accorded to him
while in foreign lands the same
degree of protection that the
citizen of any other government
can get while he is residing or
travelling in other countries than
his own, it is time that our peo-
pie generally should beapprised
of the fact.
We do a good deal of blowing
about being the greatest nation
on the face of the earth, but
what does that amountrto If our
citizens can be insulted BY other
nations with impuuity and re-
fused rights that are freely
granted to the citizens of other
nations?
Evidently Russia during all
these 40 years of talk BY our de.
partmeut of state has acted on
the theory that we we're just
ruuuing'a a gentle buff; in other
words, that We didn't mean It.

Trouble With Russia +.

ticn of the resolution which re-
certify passed the lower house of
congress and which by the time
this is in the hands of the readers
of this moral and agricultural
guide, may have passed the SEN
ate, says Mail and Breeze.
1t is an old sore. In 1882 the
United States and Russia entered
10 a treaty, Article 1 of which
read as follows:
There shall be between the
territories of the high contract
ing parties a reciprocal liberty
of commerce and navigation.
The inhabitants of their respec-
tive states shall mutually have
liberty to enter the ports, places,
and rivers of the territorieS of
each party wherever foreign
commerce is permitted. They
shall be at liberty to sojourn and
reside in all parts whatsoever OF
said territories in order to attend
to their affairs, and they shall
enjoy, to that effect, the same
security and protection as ma
tives of the country wherein they
reside on condition of their sub
hitting to the laws and ordin'
ances there prevailing, and par
ticularly to the regulations In
force concerning commerce.
There did not seem to be any
particular ground for complaint
about the way Russia was living
up to this treaty until after II
had been in operation for about
30 years. Since then there has
been more or less complaint all
the time.
The government of Russia has
taken the position that one OF its
citizens cannot expatriate him
self without the consent of the
Russian government; that is, he
cannot leave that country and
become a citizen of another coun'
try, the United States for exam
pie, unless the Russian govern
ment gives him leave. If he
goes without the consent of that
government he is still considered
a citizen of Russia and if he re-
turns to that country he must
come subject to its laws just as
if he had never left it.
On the other hand, the govern
ment of the United States has
held that any man has a right to
expatriate himself if he wants
to. He can leave his native
country and become a citizen Of
this country and as such natur'
allied citizen is entitled to all
the protection from this govern
ment he would be entitled to II
born in this country.
We fought one war in defense
of that doctrine and forced Great
Britain to recognize the rights oi
a naturalized American citizen
Naturally one would suppose
that the doctrine was established
long ago, but as a matter OF fact
we have been fussing with Rus
sia in a mild way about it now
for 40 years and haven't settled
it yet.
In spite of the plain terms oi
this treaty that the inhabitants
of each state, that is, of both the
United States and Russia, shall
have mutual liberty to enter the
ports, places and territories Of
the other subject only-sO the con-
dition that they shall obey the
laws of the country in which
they may be staying or through
which they may be travelling
while they are there, Russia has
.coutemptuously and persistentlJ
refused to honor the passports oi
citizens of the United States or
account of race and religion.

most entertaining speaker. Mr..
Tanner stated that in his estimation
a permanent county fair association
was necessary and that it was high
time that steps were taken to obtain
land conveniently located before a
rise in price would make purchase pro-
hibitive. Mr.. Tanner stated that in
and around Filler were number of
plats of land near the railroad that
could be obtained for small amount
of money, and urged that steps be ta-
ken to get the matter before the peo-
pie of the county. Mr. Tanner in the
course OF his conversation stated that
large number of wealthy ranchers
