ROME MAN PLANS
BIG WORLD CITY
Novel Idea Projected for
Center of Human Effort
IN GREATEST DETAIL
Book Presented to Smithsonian lnsti-
tute Gives Results Of Many Years
of Labor by Hendrix c.
Anderson

Washington, October 2i.-(SpeciaL)-A
copy of the magnificentiy illustrated 20
page book of the World Conscience So
ciety. an international society for the
creation of a world-centre of con1muniea-
ton, was recently presented to the Sinlth-
sonian institution and deposited IN tie
library, where 1t is available to those
who care to examine it.
This work is the result Of many years
labor by tho author, Hendrix O. Anoer-
son of Rome, in collaboration with ME-.
u. uerbrard, architect for the trench
government. and many noted artists,
architects and engineers, etc. 1t includes
detailed plans for the construction OF q
great utilitarian and artistic city rom
which the affairs Of the world are TO DC
directed for the betternent of mankind
by combining the highest forms OF lntel-
lectual artistic and scientific accomplish
,nents of all nations. The society and the
author have fixed upon no particular
location for the proposed capital, but sug-
gest sites IN England, France, Belgium,
Holland, italy and oddly enough, for tho
United States on the coast of New Jersey.
of this gigantic task has been to pro-
mote the interests of progress economies,
fraternity and peace. and to develop
world unity by deepening the sympathy
between individuals and nations through
an harmonious order of action and en-
deavor. -.a---
FIVE hundred of these volumes are be-
ing distributed to the principal libraries
and scientific institutions of the world
as well as to the heads and OFFICIALS
OF the various nations. In this way 1t is
alored to reach the general public be-
s,des the more advanced theorists ana
scientists. The project seems q meritori-
ous one and much has been accomplished
in. this book toward giving 1t detinlte
form, but the tremendous task still re-
mains of finding u location for this chiei
eity Of the world, and making reality

wonderful. in region noted as the
most unh ealthy in the world, IN
which our predecessors, the French,
were unable to proceed because they
could not KEEP the workers alive.
American army surgeons, by the use
OF scientific facts known to all, have
succeeded in lowering the death rose
among American residents far below
that OF our most favored american
communities.
According to Colonel Gorgas. the
chief sanitary officer of the Canal
Zone, who recently, discussed tue
question IN the Journal Of the
American Medical Association, the
death rate for 1911 among the 10
4S9 Americans was only 4.4S per
thousand. while this result has
been mainly due to the control OF
yellow fever and malaria, and while
It is true that the American popula-
ton consisted Of picked individuals,
largely of educated men and women
in the prime of life, yet even with all
these conditions recognized, the rec
ord IS a remarkable one, and is PROF.
ably without rival. An all this,
says Colonel Gorgas, has been &C.
complished at an expense averaging
one cent per dayfor each individual
If this result can be secured at this
cost in the center of tropical
jungle, what would not similar ok
penditure do for our American cities?
One cent day is what the average
American pays for a daily newspa-
per. 1t is one-fifth the cost of one
five cent cigar. 1t is one-ftth the
price of daily street car ride. 1t is
one-fofth the cost of admission to q
moving pictur show. 1t is on-fiftl
OF what we pay for glass OF SODA
water or a package of chewing gum.
Who would say that the expenditure
OF this amount would be any burden
to this rich and extrayagant nation?
And yet it is the cost of life itself.
Is one cent a day too much to pay
TO protect the life and health or an
American citizen?

That Magic Name.

Except to differ from the Par
kersburg State Journals statement
that it was the first to advocate
Judge Nathan Con for the presidency
of the United States, the Telegram
is in full and hearty accord with the
State Journals comment upon an
editorial paragraph in the Cairo En-
terprise, which, is as follows:
Says the Cairo Enterprise:
The suggestion that Senator Con
be named for president in 1916 has
taken wings aad traveed all over the
country. receiving a cordial reOcp-
ton everywhere. All people couI1
not only unite upon him but they
would be glad TO have the oppor-
traity.'
THE suggestion in regard to Con
was first made in the Parkersburg
State Journal, which tries to keep its
eyes and ears open for coming
events.
There are many reasons, too, why
Gofr should be the next president OF
the United States.
1He is a second William Mckinley
or Mckinley was second Con-.
whichever way one wants TO put It.
He is the leading Republican Of
the whole country.
He is man of brilliant ability
and, at the same time, has a level
head.
Gle is from the South, which To-
cality has not had a Republican
president, excepting as an Incidental
matter from great crime.
"All parties can agree on Goff as
their candidate in opposition to tho
Democracy.
so give us GoF. With his as tho
Republican nominee, the party will
once more sweep the country"

Passing o, BuIl Moose.


Things are not going well with sae
Democratic party in this county
these days. Many Democrats Of Har-
rison county are opposed to JONI
w. Davis's retiring from politics by
going on the federal bench. They
want him to stay in politics as they
count on his popularity to win VIZ
tories for them in the county.
in the last state election they
awaited themselves OF every pos
sible detection in the Republican
party and tried to make more defec-
tioa. BY this means they were en-
abled to elect part OF their county
ticket with the use OF the money thas
came from outside the county.
In order to win the city election
that party's leaders encouraged u
mugwump movement. Its leaders
recognized the fact that the paucity
of real Democrats in the city was
such that it was useless to nominate
a Democratic ticket, although some
Democrats without party perfidy IN
sisted that there should he straight
out Democratic ticket for the sake
of keeping up the organization.
These latter were overruled and an
alliance was made with men who call
themselves Progressiyes but who
usually cooperate with the Demo-
Gratis for the reason that they have
no stsnding or influence in the Re-
publican party.
Resulting from that alliance or
combination, ticket composed
largely of Democrats with just a few
men known in former times as Re-
publicans was placed in the fieid.
The ticket was that of the Democrats
and Progressives combined and the
Republican party had both to fight.
That the fight was done well the
election results show
The election also shows that many
decent Republicans got their eyes
open and saw that the so-called Pro-
gresslve movement in this county
was about to lead them into strange
paths, which II followed would take
them into the oaemy's camp. As q
result they went back to their first
and only love and the Democrats ana
the disgruntled of the Republican
party were LETT 10 vote the mug
wump ticket.
The Democratic and Progressive
strength as it is today was revealed
and it was found election night that
there were not enough of both to
make their part Of the election
more than farce as the Exponent
says.
Republicans who thought there
might he improvement in party and
government in the county, state ann
nation through the Bull Moose party
evidently have become convinced
that the movement merely tends to
aid the Democratic party, whose con-
troll has ever brought disaster to the
country and whoa it became more
apparent and was brought home 10
them when attempt was made to ap-
ply the Bull Moose object locally by
using that party for Democratic ben
eft, the Progressive party found it.
self dwindled to almost nothing.
II is well that the Democratic al
lance with the protested local lead
ers Of Progressiyes was made. 1t
shows well-meaning men the dangers
of following in the footsteps Of men
who are headed toward the Demo-
cratic party, and there is reason to
feel that the Bull Moose tendency in
the county is fading FAST

Alfalfa Crop Fattens
Wallets Of Farmers
from Thursdays Dailv.

From thursdays Daiit-
w. M. Strader, owner of "The
Jungle" beautiful farm about five
miles west of Mankato, in Nicollet
county, is one of the few men in this
locality who are raising alfalfa with
success. In visit to Mr.. Strader's
alfalfa field yesterday reporter
from The Free Press found that the
crop was being cut for the second
time this season.
Mr.. Strader now has a plot of
about six acres in alfalfa and at the
first cutting, which was made June
10, had crop of more than fifteen
tons. There is a heavy stand this
time which averages about eighteen
or twenty inches in height, and there
will be at least one more scutting
and perhaps two cuttings this sea-
son, so that there will be yield of
at least seven tons to the acre. AL
falfa sells for about the same price
as other hay and has very much
larger percentage of protein, so its
value is greater as feed for cattle.
OF the Grimm Variety.
The alfalfa in this field is of the
Grimm variety, which has proved
to be the best qualified for use in
this climate. 1t is hardy and well
Iacclimated. The seed now costs
about dollar pound and for hay
lit requires about twenty pounds of
seed to the acre. This seems like a
big investment, but. one seeding of
alfalfa viii yield for at least thirty
years. For seed purposes alfalfa is
planted about ten pounds to the acre
One particular requirement of the
soil for alfalfa raising is plenty OF
| lime.
! Mr.. Strader is feeding six horses
fourteen cows and some young stock
and uses alfalfa for hay. His cattle
are a mixed strain of Guernsey and
Jersey and last March when the sup
ply of alfalfa gave out and the cows
were given other hay, their supply
of milk Immediately fell Off e
/ Minnesota Soil For Alfalfa.
| Mr. Strader says there is no rea
son why farmers should not raise
alfalfa in Minnesota, but they mus
fhave plenty of lime in the soil Il
| must be cut at the. proper time
which is when the leaves at the roo
of the plants begin to turn yellow
1t is an economical and very nutri
tious feed for stock and the yield is
so heavy that it is great saver o.
valuable land.
"The Jungle" is an ideal farm anC
Mr.. Strader is having great success
in his work there. His experience
with alfalfa is only such an expert
ience as he has had with other ven
lures which were experiments to be
gin with.
