Buffalo journal: Taft papers are
running Roosevelt's definition of 9
bull moose. It is too good not to pass
along, and there is nothing in it which
can be taken as a slam at the: Colonel.
As reference is not available we must
assume the quotation to be correct. It
is from "The Wilderness Hunter" a
book published by Roosevelt many
years ago, in which the bull moose is
described thusly:
"'The bull moose lives on the
public domain and is a very waste
full FEEDER"
"He is Of wandering and 1flighty
disposition. His flesh moreover is coarse
and stringy; his hide is thick and q
very poor quality.
"He frequently shows a clumsy
slowness Of apprehension which
amounts to downright stupidity.
"Another noticeable character
istic Of the bull moose is his inordinatt
and Interchangeable selfishness. Wheth
er roaming the woods in solitude o.
tearing up. the earth or coming head
long to the call, he is thinking first
last and all the time of the safety Of
his own skin and the fullness of hi!
own stomach.
"Further indications of the bull'
essential selfishness are found in hi
frequent abuse and browbeating Of al
other moose that are smaller than him
self. He cannot tolerate rivals, bu
flies into a jealous rage at the frs
suggestion that there is any other bull
moose in the universe

SOL, NEEDS LIME
Soil Test Show Some Minnesota Soil,
Deficient. in Limestone. ~

Ss It has been believed by authorities
for a long time that the soils in Min
nnessota contain plenty of limestone,
which, it is hardly necessary to state,
is absolutely essential for plant
growth. An abundance Of limestone
prevents the soil from becoming acid;
and an acid soil restricts the growth
of farm crops. The growth Of alfalfa
and clover, or any Of the legumes, is
rendered impossible when the soil is
acid, as the nitrogen-gathering bac-
| terra which live on the roots and
contribute to the plants growth can
| not live in an acid soil. .
The results Of soil analyses at the
| Minnesota station would indicate that
not all Of the soils in Minnesota con.
tain plenty Of limestone. There is
plenty of evidence to prove this con-
tention. During the past week twen-
ty-two samples of soil were tested, Of
which fourteen were acid. The ma
:jority Of the fourteen acid samples
were extremely acid. This does not
mean that the same percentage Of
Minnesota soils are acid, but it does
mean, with other proof which we
have, that there is considerable soil
in the state whose productiveness
would be improved by liberal appli-
: cations Of limestone. 20
Minnesota soils must contain lime
stone if they are to be productive.
The use Of lime to improve the soil is
as old as agriculture itself. History
tells US that the Greeks used much
mari and ashes-lime is the principal
ingredient-before the Christian era.
Roman writer's speak often of lime;
and in England, several centuries
ago, the farmers removed chalk from
the sub-soil to be used as a fertilizer,
for the lime which it contained.
the United States much lining is done
in the eastern and east central por.
lions. Maryland, Pennsylvania. New
York, the New England states, I'LL
nois, Indiana, and Ohio perhaps lead
in the use of limestone.
The Illinois Experiment Station has
completed a soil survey Of many coun-
ties to determine the exact character
Of the various types of soil and learn
the exact lime requirements of the
acid types. Minnesota should have
the acids soils within her borders To-
Gated so that lime can be added and
the productivity Of her fields and pas.
lures can be raised. No better serv-
ice can be rendered the people of the
state. This should be accompanied by
a. soil survey, so the types Or areas
Of soil Of certain formation could be
mapped and studied from this stand
point.
There are many sources Of lime

economically purchased to be used as
a fertilizer. It is generally not very
expensive, the price ranging from 81
to 81 per ton. In the improvement Of
the soil, there are five principles to
be observed-the control Of water,
principally by draining; ample humus
in the soil; good tillage; fertilizers;
! and an adequate supply Of lime to

OF the death of. the great Japanese
general, Nogi., says the Springfield
Republican,, our history and our ira
ditions offer no parallel; in the realm
Of fancy the nearest WI can come is
to suppose the aged Won Moltke to
have ended his life on the day of the
old German emperor's funeral. In
heroic martydoms western history is
rich, and it has, too: it's long. list Of
those, from Lucretia down, who have
chosen the Roman way. But the sacri-
fee, to be held in honor, has always
had a purpose, as when Germanicus
tried to stab himself before his revolt
ing legions in order to, bring them to
submission. through their sense of
shame. Voluntary death for a specific
purpose the West can understand;
suicide as merely a testimony to a
cause is beyond u comprehension.
Can we understand Japan9 Lafcadio
Hearn, who gave his life to it, reluct.
antly confessed in his last years that
he had failed. He knew much, he
OWNED much, his sympathy was fine
J and delicate. Through his Japanese
I wife he had opportunities for study
!! such as few foreigners have had, and
no one has studied the problem with
more intensity and patience. Yet at
a certain point he came upon a closed
door that he was never able to open
and he came to agree with Kipling that
"East is East and West is West.'
The motives of such a sacrifice as No,
gi's we may never hope to understand
so penetrated are they with the
mysticism and what we call fanaticsm
Of the Orient. But Of one thing we
may be sure; the oriental suicide
does not mean weakness. In the West
the church has warred upon it 2,0oC
years; it has sought to hold men tc
their duty on earth as Hamlet was
held when he wished that Everlasting
had not fixed His canon 'gainst self
slaughter. The teaching Of western
civilization has been that human life
is sacred. But in the old and crowded
East human life has for ages beer
cheap. The individual has counted fol-
little, the strip for everything. In
such a land the "I' of which we
make so much is but a pebble cast in
the sea of time. Life and death hang
evener in the scale and to go may be
a duty as well as to do. When human
material, precious everywhere, is sup
erabundant, what will serve 50. we'll as
a noble death to keep alive the lamp
Of sacrifice? In the West it has been
said that nations stagnate in long
periods Of peace; old Japan at least
had it's way to keep the flame Of de,
votion alight. This may be the last
celebrated case, but there. can be no
doubt that beneath its European civil.
zation Japan is still oriental to the
core.

The St. Cloud Times says the Herald

The St. Cloud Times says the Herald
represents a clique. Clique is scarcely
the word, but call it clique if you will.
The head Of the clique to which we be-
long is William Jennings Bryan OF Ne
braska, and there are quite a few
folks in every state belonging to TINS
slique. AS the Times has abused and
villifed this greatest Of living demo
srats as much as any Of the most par
sisan republican papers, we shall have
30 decline admitting the competency OF
She Times to pass upon the democracy
Of anybody. And although it may be
very unpleasant for the Times and the
holder Of the strings which make it
jump, we are inclined to think that
Woodrow Wilson is already pretty
yell informed as to the recent politi'
.al history Of Minnesota. The de-
7eIopments Of the past three months

George Author hits the nail on the
head in the following from the Mime
apolis Tribune: Sometimes there is a
bit of suspicion that interests which do
not court attention are anxious to in
volve the state in a continued struggle
yer the liquor question so that other
important issues may be forgotten. The
report of the Stanley steel trust in
vestigating committee is in itself a sug-
gestion of why this may be 50. The
liquor question always involves a
moral issue and human interest is
always stronger than the economic one.
There is the bare possibility that the
railroads and the steel interests are
resting quite comfortably so long as
the state is devoting itself exclusively
to the problems of the liquor traffic.
Along this line, Woodrow Wilson,
candidate for the democratic party is
quoted as follows:
II am in favor of local option. I
am a thorough believer in local SELF
government and believe that every self
governing community which consiti-
tutes a social unit should have the
right to control the matter Of the
regulation or of the Withholding Of
license.
"But the questions involved are
social and moral, not political, and are
not susceptible Of being made parts
Of a party programme. Whenever they
have been made the subject-matter Of
party organization and party action
athwart, to the utter confusion Of
political action in every other field.
They have thrown every other question,
however important, into the back
ground and have made constructive
party action impossible for long years

The 1912 golf championship Of the
Barre Golf club was won Saturday aft
ernoon by George M. Marion by putting
James Reid out on the seventeenth hole
of the finals, three up and one to play,
It was close match all the way
through. Coming to the seventeenth
hole, Marion had his opponent dormy
two and ran down putt which gave
him the hole and the match.
At the same time, George n. Tilden
won the presidents prize for the second
class of qualifiers in the championship
by defeating John Reid, one up, II was
necessary to go to the eighteenth hole
to decide the match, thus showing that
it was even closer than the champion
ship.
The annual handicap tournament cup
was won by Dean H. Perry, with gross
score of 10 and net score Of 70. The
cup for the lowest gross score in the
qualifying round for the championship
was won by George Leith, with a card
of 70.
In the semi-fnals of the championship,
Marion defeated John Leslie, nine up
and eight to play, while James Reid de.
feated George Leith, one up; and in the
semi-fnals for the presidents trophy
John Reid defeated David Stuart, one up.

Notes.
The crowd was large enough to qualify
as runner-up for the worlds fair gath
ering on the park when 7. r. comes to
town next Saturday.
Jacques was the scintillating star of
the Hardwick outfeld. He plucked many
a hard one out of the azure, covering
himself with the greatest glory in the
fourth, when he stood, Adonis-like, on
one toe and gathered in one on the brink
of the centerfield bank.
The spectators made for Rabbit Nc
Kenze like pack of coyotes after he
brought in the winning score with his
homer over the precipice.
1t was a game of continual bicker-
ings. When Mute and Bill Johnston
pulled off their delayed steal in the very
first session, things belligerent began to
move. The game was delayed for fully
Is minutes, and in that space of time
several embryo riots, started by heated
fans, were quelled by cooler heads.
Bill Brown, the former B. A. c. first
sacker pulled off an unassisted double in
the third, when he caught Berry's foul
and stepped back to first before Tonguay
had returned.
According to rumor, several Hardwick
fans lost much money backing their
pets. Before the game, one man, well
known locally as a one-time restaurant
teur, patrolled the bleachers waving bills
of fair denomination. They were invari-
ably covered.
Jackie Davidson covered himself with
glory enough on the occasion of the first
appearance In the B. A. lineup. John
is credited with batting for 800 during
the afternoon.
Herman Johnston divided the outfield
honors with Heighty Jacques. The old
gent is credited with five putouts.
Barre made four straight singles on
the stuff served up by Hatch in the sixth.
Every IMAM ON tne team WITH IHe eN"
ception of Bob Wright, Mckenzie and
Berry, is credited with stolen base
Lawless' slow return seemed to invite

toned at short field for Hardwick,
slapped out pretty sacrifice fly to the
left garden in the first chapter In
grahams work deserves nothing but
praise.
