RoosEvELTs CHANCE.


Enthusiasts for Colonel Roosevelt
are beginning to express confidence
that he can carry the state of New
York at the November election. That Is
juts about the sort of confidence that
they need to inspire in the country
generally in order to give him good
fighting chance for final success. There
is a great sweep OF country in the mid
die and farther west that with proper
campaigning and growing belief
that Wilson would not in fact be 80
good a president as many for the mo-
nent fondly imagine can probably be
carried for the colonel and it, cleo

is hard yet to tell. We have an idea

PIewina With Dynamite.

Among the visitors to Columbus was
]. s. Fowler OF Anderson, S. c. He
is one of the original dynamite farm
ers OF the south. the new method OF
farming which is making the south
proof against the droughts which have
so often blasted the hopes Of tbs farm
ers
He brought with him pictures show
ing corn fields planted by the dynamite
method to prove that the stories he
told OF the corn crops were not fabri-
cations. absurd as they might sound to
the ears OF farmers in what is sup
posed to be one Of the great corn-rais-
ing sections Of the country. The land
in the western part Of South Carolina
is good. and Mr. Fowler said that un-
der the old method he had raised 100
bushels OF corn to the acre on his
plantation, which consists OF 1000
acres. but this yield has more than
doubled under the new method
This year he prepared four acres
with dynamite. Half a stick Of so per
cent dynamite was used to each fif-
teen feet square, the dynamite being
placed in holes punched in the ground
and then fired. 1t cost SIS per acre
for the dynamiting. This stirred up
the ground from three to four feet
deep. It was plowed and narrowed
in the usual manner and the corn
drilled Just before he came to Column
bus. the time when the pictures were
taken. officials from the government
agricultural experiment station visited
the field and estimated that the corn
would yield 260 bushels to the acre.
Mr.. Fowler says that he does not be-
lieve that it will go that high. but
states that he expects over 500 bushels
from the four acres. Some OF the
stalks OF corn have from three to five
ears and all are large. The corn Is
about fifteen feet high and very uni
form.
Next year he expects largely to in
crease his dynamite acreage. One dy-
namiting does for years, it is said, and
the corn requires but little rain. as
what does fall is held in the ground.
Mr. Fowler says that the cotton crop
in the south this year will be a rec
ord breaker, in spite Of the reports of
dry weather I'VE have learned many
lessons" he said. I'VE are blowing
deep for our cotton and the dry wealth
or does not damage US as it once did.
This year streams are DRY. the cotton
mills have closed because OF failure
Of water power but there has not been

AS TO KENYON.
shenandoah Sentinel-Post.1

tsohSA0uuOdH SeHtlncl-3OSl.J
Not only is the Iowa platform one
to appeal to red hlooded Americans but
the ticket is splendid one. Take Sen
ator Kenyon. for instance. Who heard
Kenyon speak at the Shenandoah chau-
tauqua last year and did not feel lifted
up by that magnificent appeal TO all
that is good and noble and true? Il
there is one man in Iowa today In
whom every citizen should take pride,
Senator Kenyon is that man He is yet
young. as statesmen are figured. man
With a future before him il life and
health be spared to him. Iowa has
nearly always ranked high in the
councils Of the nation We can lock
back with pride upon the brilliant
record of Iowa statesmen who have
passed on. but in my judgment not oGe
of them in early manhood gave greater
promise of true greatness than does
our present junior senator. He is an
orator Of few equals. Not even Bryan
has MIN beaten for eloquence as all
can testify who listened to him with
tear dimmed eyes during his chautau-
qua address last year. His personal
life is pure and clean, an example to
young men everywhere for temperance
and right living. His heart is as ten
der as maiden's and beats strong for
those in need OF friend. His hand is
ever ready to reach down to the fall
en-. or to those who are stumbling, and
to lift them up to higher ground. I'm
his political work he is incorruptible.
answering in his opposition to dishon-
esty and everything dishonorable Wit
ness his long fight 10 Dust Senator Lor-
liner from the senate, TO which ne had
been elected by corrupt means. All
honor to Senator Kenyon. He is an as
set to the republican party of Iowa.
His name as our candidate for sena-
TOR ought to be worth fifty thousand
votes to the legislative ticket. Yet we
here and there find republican
threatening to vote against Kenyon
just because he is spunky at the con-
vention for its failure to endorse Taft.
These republicans would cut OF their
nose to spite their face. But not many
of them. Kenyon is too good a man to
be defeated just because Of somebody's
sore toe. He was nominated by ma
jority Of seventy thousand. There is
no faint upon his nomination, no
question OF its fairness. There is.
therefore. no excuse for any republican
to vote against him. II the primary
had shown that LATE Toung was the
undoubted choice OF the people and
yet by some hook or crook, by some
machine manipulation Kenyon had
been declared the nominee, then there
would be excuse for republicans TO
vote asainsts him, but there is no such
excuse. He was the choice of the ma
jori.y. an immense majority. and there
fore he is now the choice Of the mi
nority as weil-oe every republican
who believes in the republican princi-
pie that the majority must rule.

The Boys Vacation.
I0naha Pee

City boys ought to be allowed to
spend part Of their vacation in the
country. All boys need the closer con-
tact with nature which this affords.
Many lads grow to manhood utterly ig-
norant. except in the most academic
sense. Of things that should form vi
tai part of their first hand informa-
ton, things they can get nowhere ex-
cept in the country. This appeal seems
especially strong In this day when
young men from the city are generally
remaining there and those in the coun-
try are drifting to the city. 1t is posi-
bic the current might be changed
somewhat easier II boys were imbued
in their boyhood with fondness for
rural life But this Is the economic side
Of It: the moral aspect, which Is really
the immediate one il equally as
worthy OF consideration.

THREE FOOLS AND A HORSE
shenandoah world.1

Three young fools were racing a
beautiful black horse around the out
skirts OF town week ago Sunday
night, giving one Of the most brutal!
senseless and pitiful exhibitions Side
lights ever saw. With apparently no
special reason or excuse they would
lash and pound the animal back and
forth over a half mile of road, until
he was lathered with sweat and wind
ed. The drivers might have been drunk,
they might have bene crazy or they
might have Just been brutal young
IDIOTS acting smart. At any rate, they
were not fit to be trusted with the
toughest, stubbornest old mule that
ever pulled cotton plow. If they try
the stunt again they should be arrest
ed and Jailed.

I want to talk to you this time abou.
alfalfa seed. There IL a world Of diff
ference in alfalfa seed, more than there
is in clover seed.
The best seed comes from Nebraska
and northwest Kansas. The poorest
seed is the stuff imported from Eu-
rope. There is lots OF imported seed
sold in this country, as it can gener-
ally be sold cheaper than high class
Nebraska or Kansas seed, but it has
been the cause Of lots Of failures Of

tected by the presence OF Buckhorn.

the German and French seed laws are
very strict and any seed that is too
poor to pass the requirements there is
shipped to this country.
There is a great boom in alfalfa this
year and lots Of seed is being sold.

A STATE POLICE.

[Des Moines Register and Leader.]
III this country the enforcement of
law is a state function, not a muni-
cipsl function. The unit Is the state.
not the city. The power is state
power. and the responsibility is a state
esponsibility.-New York World
Iowa has been one of the first of
the states to act definitely on this
theory. which is the only theory OF
law enforcement that really means
law enforcement.
In the end. when the original pre-
JUDGE against state constabuiary has
been forgotten. Iowa will abolish the
whole frontier system Of sheriffs and
constables and come to state police,
much after the fashion of Canada.

ganized would bring about a respect
for law that will never exist so long
