HUMAN DRIFTWOOD.

If the student of our social condi-
tons is DESTROYS of making a first
hand investigation of one phase of
life in this country We advise him
% attend the sessions of the police
court II is here that one sees
part of the human driftwood that
seems to be moving aimlessly from
place to place, carried on the stream
of circumstances. II is, however,
very real human stream that wends
tits way across the country from
east to west and back again. and
thea from north to south, in the
winter seeking the large cities OF tn
warmer chimes, and in the summer
the wide spares of the country.
This stream is composed of a
strange mixture of all kinds and
conditions. But most of it would
appear to be the sorry wrecks OF
humanity. Society" is held respon-
sible. and every type OF reformer
from the Socialist to the prohibition
list, points to these men with but a
meal between them and star
walton, as horrible examples of some
fault of the present system
The fact is however, that neither
society or the system is re-
sponsible half so much as the an
dividual himself. who. of course,
finds it convenient to lay the bur
den of his troubles on someone else
Most of them are victims of either
drink, dope or some other vice of
excess. No doubt society is respon-
sible to a certain extent for the
sale of these things to the weak and
unfortunate as well as the strong and
healthy. Nevertheless now that
they are in the down and out class,
there is some consolation for them
that they can fall back on the very
stimulant that was the original caus
of their downfall.
This, however, is not temper
ance lecture. But II is well to con-
template this stream of human mis-
cry once in a while, IL for no other
purpose than to observe how utter
" Inadequate the average municipal
system is in dealing with 1t. the

GET DOWN TO FERTILITY.
No Reason For Disuse of Plant Food
PIow Your Land Deeply.

In a recent issue of the Farm and
rfreside, a contributor writes a
very interesting article on soil fer
lility in which he shows the diff
different qualities the soil must
nave and how, when the soil be
ishment of the lost qualities mus,
be provided. Following is an extract
from the article:
One of the ways We have of in
,reasing our crop yield is to pillow
deeper That is like running the
hand a little deeper into the pocket
it is true. and it does not take the
place OF adding to our soil nitrogen,
potash and phosphoric acid, but it
does enable us to make availa BILE
soil fertility that is really ours and
to the benefits of which we are fair
ly entitled.
But will this deeper soil really
give US better crops? That homely
creature, the woodchuck may ans
wer that question for US, whereve-
he is at home. See what he does
The rankest grass on the whole
farm is right around the woodchuck
hole. What has he done? He has
brought up some of the fertility that
has all these years been locked up
waiting for us to make it available.
The rains have moistened this soil.
the sunshine has warmed it and
splendid grass is the result.
so this is a plea for deeper cul-
tivati0n. l know it will take a littl
harder work on the part of our
horses to bring this rich earth up.
And if We had TO hold the pillow as
we used to, our arms would surely
ache before night, but the beautiful
riding plows of today which hold
themselves, have lessened the work
OF turning over the soil. We may as
well have the depth of soil to grow
better crops as to let it lie there
idle in the dark. On many farms
there are layers of what have been
called hard pan a little way below
the surface. These form tables which
hold the moisture and prevent 1t
from finding its way deeper into
the earth. They also, in a degree,
form a barrier to the progress OF
plant roots downward. Other lands
do not present this barrier. but in
those places where the soil is thus
packed down it needs breaking up.
Drainage Will do very much TO
help about this, and little raising
of the clevis, so that the plowshare
will dive deeper, will certainly en-
able our crops to get hold of and
make available the locked up re-
serve fertility"

 AFFECTS MIND
Somebody Drunk; Every thing Gone to Pot; Inves- tigate Water Department. == Evening Paper Has a Misery"

Fully cognizant of the fact that Dan McDermot, and Claude W Cisney are making runaway race for the council at the election of May 7th, and importuned by leaders of tti, local democracy for the love Of Mike" to do something to prO'e the democracy of the publication. the Ev ening Democrat last night set d little tea pot over the decrepit typewriter and before long there was brewing the niftiest little tempest that ever was, which was last evening poured onto the first page of the paper in black face triple leaded slugs.
 The Democrats sensation" appears
 to be, so far as any sense at all is
 extractable from the story" that
 two employees of the city were drunk
 on the street. Leastwise that is
 what happened according to the big
 headlines
 With this choleric opening the
 paper calls loudly for help. Every
 thing is going to the bow VOWS; the
 ship of state is sinking; time to in vestigate the water department" Just what the water department. which by the way, is one Of the best and most economically managed de- partments in the city, has to do with the arrest of a couple of trunks leaks
 out through the allegation? Well til4 Democrat should say it was
 Mayor Christy at once started n | investigation of the story and d's- covered that couple of drunken men i had been found by police officers | Sunday afternoon and sent to their homes. It is against the general pO- 1 lice policy to lock trunks up if they are creating no disturbance anu have ! homes to which they may be con- signed. The duty of the police is to clear the streets of undesirables of this character.
 One of the men arrested is, or was
 day laborar, working in the trencn l for a water department foreman and with no more to do with the conduct
 of that department than has Lydia
 Pinkham. In fact his identity was
 not discovered until a pay roll was searched. Superintendent Thompson | at once discharged this 'city en- ploye." The other man is not in the employ of the city and has not been 1 for months. Some time ago he was engaged for a short time as laborer for the electrical department in the 1, installation of wire conduitS.

STATISTICS SHOW
 NUMBER OF VOTERS
Number Of Males of Required Age Is 29.4 per cent of the Total
 Popul lation.

WASHINGTON. D. C., April 29, 1912-A preliminary statement giving for continental eUnited states, for each geographic division, and for each state and territory. the distribution of the male population of 21 years of age and over according to color, nativity and parentage and, in the case of foreign born whites, d fur
 ther distinction as to citizenship, as shown by the returns of the Thir- teenth Decennial Census. taken as
 of April 15, 1910, has been issued by
 Director Durand of the Bureau of the Census, Department of Commerce and Labor. The statistics were pre-
 pared under the supervision of Will liam C. Hunt. chief statistician for
 population in the Census Bureau, and
 are subject to revision.
 The potential voting strength of the nation and of each state and terri tory is expressed by the number Ol it's males 21 years of age and over, excluding the foreign born who have excluding the foreign born who have not become naturaliZed, but by this is not meant the actual number Oi voters in the several states and ter ritories It represents, rather, the number of males who from the stand point of age alone are eligible tC vote, aside from any qualifications based upon education, length of resi-
 dence, or considerations of a like na- l ture imposed by the national ol l state government.
 In 1910 the number of males O voting age in continental United States was 26,999,151. or 294 pei cent of the total population, as com pared with 21,134,299. or 27.8 per cen | of the total population in 1900.

DOESN'T WANT
 FREE SUGAR
Although a Democrat Him self, Dr. Wiley is Unal- terably Opposed to the Program of Party on the Tariff.

WASHINGTON, D. C.. April 29.- pr Harvey w. Wiley is now farm CT and his various activities as contributing editor, lecturer and pure food expert are merely subsidiary to his main occupation of tilling the soil. The occasion for the late chief of the bureau of chemistry's official designation of his present vocation is a protest which he has just filed with the senate finance committee against the free sugar bill now under consideration and which he makes as a farmer engaged in practical agriculture and one who has been in
 tcrested during his whole active life in the sugar industry
 Whatever the accuracy of Dr. Wi
 ley's claim to be practical farmer, and those who know him best de- clare that he takes more interest in the operation of his Virginia farm than in any of his other pursuits and that the farm itself is model of it's kind-there is no doubt of his interest in the American sugar indus try for he was one of the men mainly responsible for the introduction of the sugar beet into the United States and it's successful cultivation here having directed the early experiments of the Department of agriculture in beet growing. In his statement as to the effect of the destruction or injury of the domestic sugar industry upon the other agricultural activities of the country. he must be regarded therefore as an expert. Aside from the agricultural advantages of this particular industry he points out that the farmers of the country have en- joyed far less benefit from tariff duties than other interests and that the action proposed in dealing with this important farm industry is more drastic than in any other case where it has been proposed to lower duties.
 From my point of view say: Dr. Wiley, the sugar industry has d very extensive relation to agri- culture aside from the fields which are planted to cane and beets. The threat of extinction of this industry also threatens to a great extent tn, other agricultural interests. The pro. duction of sugar whether it be iron beet or .cane requires the highes style of Extensive culture that science has been able to suggest. The prin ciples of feeding the sugar crops, tn, methods of culture and handling, th' attention and skill of the worker' are such as to create in every fielC adn factory devoted to sugar cultur' and--protluetion- an agricultural eX
