the writ of habeas corpus demanding
his production before the Kings
bench in Montreal next Monday, he
was free man for three hours, and
during that time drove madly in an au-
tomobile for fifty miles through the
hills of Vermont and New Hampshire
Near noon he ran into the arms OF
New Hampshire sheriff and was
brought to Colebrook, where he re-
tanned counsel to resist extradition.

the short trip but his guards ignored
him.
At s. 55 he was whisked past a gray
stone slab marking the boundary, and,
like a rabbit being released, was set
gently down on a bit of open ground.
He whimpered in bewilderment, look
ing north, south, east and west, as if
trying to decide which way to go Half
a dozen idlers stepped towards him
timidly. nut none attempted to lay
hands on him.
For perhaps half a minute Thaw
stood there, his hat pulled over his
eyes. his hair awry. his face unshayen,
his clothes rumpled. Then, as there
was nothing else to do, he climbed
into the automobile of a newspaper

ONE REPRESENTATIVE WHO HAS

Dear Sir: Recently I wrote our
Representative, calling his attention
to the inroad Of the Catholic HER
archy upon the rights and liberties
of the American people, suggesting
that if any expose was made O. these
things from the halls of Congress
and call of alarm made to the peo-
pie, it would check the Catholics and
wake up the people to their danger.
| challenged him as our Represen-
tative to make the fight for the peo-
pie against these foes of liberty and
progress. I enclose his reply here
with. 1t occurred to me that you
might aid him greatly at the point
suggested in his reply and I for
warded it to you for this reason.
1t may be better not to tell him
what I have done in connection with
this matter. With kind regards, 1

THE WONDERS OF FERTILIZERS

THE WONDERS OF FERTILIZERS
Manure has a peculiar effect upon
the ground. In some way it loosens
the food necessary to plants by
quickening the chemical action of
the soil, and inert soil particles
change into active food constituents
for the growing plants. 1t is not
alone the direct food value that is at
issue but the whole effect upon the
physical, chemical and bacterial life
Of the soil that must be considered.
In England and other European
countries where the soil has been
titled fer hundreds of years the pro-
duction today exceeds that of for
mer years. In fact the wheat pro-
duction in England during the Mid
die Ages was not as good as it is in
the northwest today. At present
England produces more than 20
bushels Of wheat to the acre, France
%, Austria about 10, and the pro-
ductlVity of the fields of the Belgian
and Dutch farmer are almost beyond
belief. This has come about by CIV
ing back to the soil everything that
could be fed it in the way of manu-
rial value. In this respect American
farmers have much yet to learn

MOTTO

To the Editor of The New York
World:
Free trade is an absolute necessi-
ty for the good of the laboring class.
Louisiana wants no tariff on sugar
and rice. Ninety-nine per cent. of
the LOuisianians want free trade.
The great landowners, the sugar
farmers and the rice-farmers want a
tariff on their produce, backed by
the banks (unregulated), resulting
in profits of 10 per cent. on crops
each year. Louisiana lands properly
cultivated can produce from 500 to
$1,000 per acre each year with
better system, which will come under
free trade. Sis crops a year can be
had on the same land. in the alIuvial
districts, whereas now the cane
growers average eight tons at 81
($32) and the rice-farmers average
nine barrels at 81 $3.50. This is
waste Of time and land. Who suf-

Dear Sir: am enclosing twenty
five cents in stamps for a copy of
your book entitled Questions that
Roman Catholic priests Put to Wo-
men in the Confessional Box" [
also want to ask if you believe there
is a State in the Union in which
law can be passed to open those con-
vent jails and allow them to be in
speeted by a civil officer of the law,
or by citizens of the community in
which they are located.
Since reading the story of Maria
Monk l am deeply impressed with
her statements, believing them to be
the simple truth, and that the doors
of converts ought to be opened SO
the light could shine in. Do you
think that out Rip Van Winkle Prot
estants can be aroused sufficiently
to take speedy action on this ques-
ton? Yours truly,
