the public's perverseness enters into
the discussion, for the public has APP
parently quite decidedly chosen to be-
lieve the statement of men SO little
known as Brandeis as against the de-
malls of his charges made by Carnegie,
Gray and others.
Engage the average voter in CONVEX
sation today on this topic and you will
find that he will express a fixed con-
viction that Brandeis is telling the
truth when he says no slavery i'll the
history of the world was ever SO hope
less, so cruel and so dark as that in
which the steel trust of the United
States holds it's unskilled workmen.

public is made to understand all of the
under which these men have

of the world, Carnegie

means of dying woman, heard over
a telephone led to the discovery of the
shooting of Mrs. Edith Marvel, %
years old. She was found dead with
bullet wound in her breast in a rear
second-story room of her home. Her

Operators McClinte and Brown got
the call, but no voice answered when
they inquired what was wanted. In
stead, they could plainly hear the

was from the Marvel house
When the police reached the house

ticularly gratifying to him by reason
of the attacks made by some of the
newspapers for imposing on the people
of Idaho a large and unnecessary ex-
pense. 1t was charged before the ses-
sion commenced by some of these pa
pers that it would cost between $780,
900 and $4,000. After the governor
had SO arranged matters that special
elections were not needed in any
county, the amount of this expense
dwindled down to about $4,000 and
now, by the act of the legislature re-
ferred to, this amount Of revenue has
been provided for by special act which
is of great public benefit in many
particulars and raises sufficient rev.
enue to pay the entire expense of this
session.

MASSACHUSETTS PLAN
TO USE SHORT BALLOT

ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. 5.-Great inter
est is being taken in the efforts now
being made to have the state adopt
the Massachusetts ballot. The agita-
ton for electoral reform was started
by Governor Hughes but the move
ment became sidetracked. Now the
necessity for a change in the system
of voting is being pointed out by
Assemblyman Charles A. Danna and
Senator John Godfrey SAKE, who have
introduced identical bills providing
for the Massachusetts ballot with few
minor amendments. The leaders in the
fight are from widely divergent po-
litical schools-Dana being the leader
Of the New York progressive repub
licans, while SAKE is one of the legal
lights of Tammany Hall.
On the Massachusetts ballot, the
names of the candidates appear in
order under the titles of
the respective offices. The circles

a man can vote straight is to place
a cross before the name of each of the
nominees of his party. Candidates are
also forbidden to have their names
printed more than once In speaking of
the advantages Of the Massachusetts
system today, Senator SAKE said:
Some time ago l submitted to over
two hundred persons, including po-
itical leaders, lawyers and election |
aw experts, four sample ballots in
different ways. l asked each one of |
hem to state how each of the four
ballots should be counted. The only
me who ansyered correctly as to all
our ballots was John T. Dooling, who
vas at that time President of the New
York city board of elections. Quite
number answered correctly as to
hree of the four sample ballots, but

fly per cent right.

ANOTHER VIOLATION OF LAW.

A witty writer in The True Voice
of Omaha, commenting on the alb
surd use to which the anti-Home
Rule politicians have put this bit
of legislation, which cannot posi-
bly, concern non-Catholics, suggests
that the Interstate Commerce Com
mission might be asked to investi-
gate the Catholic rule of abstince as
in restraint of trade.
IF we were," he says, ito stretch
it to an extreme point of view the
Catholic church has been for ages act
ing in restraint of trade by it's pro-
hibition of the use of meat on Friday.
1t has been favoring the fish dealers
against the meat dealers, allowing
twenty million Catholics all told under
the United States flag, and 60 days of
enforced abstinence from flesh in the
year, at the rate of half a pound of
days and fast days cost the meat deal
ers the sale of $30,000,000 worth of
meat every year, which is turned over
to fish dealers and others. 1t is not

BOISE, Feb. 5.-House Bill No. 38,
which was introduced by Mr.. Feather
stone, at the request of State Insurance
Commissioner Hattabaugh, amending
the acts of the last legislature relating
to the insurance department, and ap-
proved by Governor Hawley, will be
of vast benefit to the state as without
it most of our foreign insurance COM
panies would have withdrawn. It's
provisions raise an additional revenue
which careful estimates show will be
at least $4,000 year. The governor
feels especially pleased over this and

their ballots without trouble and each
office gets separate consideration. In
fact, it is an Illuminating coincidence
that the Massachusetts ballot has OPP

AS the soil in each set of tanks was
alike, and as all other conditions ex-
cept the cultivation were identical it
necessarily follows that the reduced
amount of water required to produce
a pound Of dry matter in the cultivat-
ed pot was due to the cultivation and
its effects.
There is, then, a double reason for
cultivating your crops. You not only
hold the moisture in the soil by pre-
venting evaporation from it's surface,
but you make it possible for the mois-
ture retained to produce in some in
stances more than twice as much
plant growth. This means that by the
practice of cultivation you can make
your irrigation water cover just twice
as much ground.
There is a marked variation in the
amounts of water required for diff
ferent varieties of plants. For exam
pie. all other conditions being equal,
the potato plant requires more than
two and one half times the water to
to produce a pound of dry matter that
the corn plant requires.
