EARLY PASSAGE IF TARIFF BILL
 NOT PROBABLE
While It Has Been Expect eel That Measure Would Go to Vote in Senate by August 20, May Not Come Before September 15
ASSOCIATED PRESS DrsPATcHl

WASHINGTON. Aug. S.-AlI predic- tions of the early passage of the demo- cratic tariffbill by the senate are gong glimmering. The majority leaders re- alize notwithstanding the fact they set new record in pushing consideration of the measure only the beginning has been made and the earliest any one can now promise the completion of the task is September 15. Ten days ago when, the members of the finance committee said they thought the senate would pass the bill by August 20, some who thought it might be possible but that the date is less than two weeks away but four schedules had been considered and thirty-six paragraphs of these had been passed over for future consideration.
 There remain to be considered ten schedules. among them the three upon which will be the most vigorous at tacks by the minority, namely the wool, sugar and agricultural The minority in making a complete tariff record shows no sing of letting up on tue amendments.
 The death of Senator Johnston of Alabama reduced the democratic ma ioritv on the bill to one vote. This slender majority has given rise to inc hopes in the republicans ranks that they may be able to put through an amendment to the wool and sugar schedules. The democratic senate lead CTS insist, however, that their forty eight votes will stand against any re- publican amendment. The sugar schedule next will be taken up and dis cussion of it will probably begin to- morrow. No progress was made today owing to adjournment out of respect to the memory of Senator Johnson.
 The two lobby investigations under way in congress after a series of short sessions this week will be resumed on Monday with the prospect of further important testimony bearing on legis lative activity by the National Associ- ation of Manufacturers and the allied organizations When the senate com mittee ceased work today James A.

Il Will Make Poor Land Richer and
Can Be Grown Easily.
The trouble with soils when they
cease to produce as they did when new
is not that the elements of plant food
are actually exhausted from the soil,
but the necessary forces for the liberia
ton are exhausted. One of these
forces is bacteria. 1t Is estimated
that in the common soil there are $50
million bacteria to the ounce. These
bacteria must have humus (decayed
vegetable matter) for their food; then
they will liberate food for the growth
of plants.
The supply of humus, the supply of
nitrogen, the physical condition Of the
soil, the penetration, aeration and
porosity of the subsoil, can be estab-
lished by the growth Of sweet clover
at a cheapness that is startling. Nor
is it hard plant to grow. 1t is one
of the hardest Of the leguminous
plants 1t seems to establish itself
on old, wornout soils where other
legumes will not grow at all and where
field crops grow so poorly as not to
pay. Owing to these characteristics
and to the fact that its bacteria are
capable of living and prospecting on
the roots Of alfalfa, it is perhaps the
best possible plant with which to pre-
cede alfalfa in sections where there

WHERE KICKING COUNTS

RAILROADS as a rule are not
inclined to make many improve
ments in city unless they are
pressed to do so by competitive
roads who are out after the bust
ness. Such is the case with the
railroads in Washburn where
there is no competition to speak
of and consequently the only
other way to secure these i'm
provements is by putting in a
good, strong kick to the COM
panies or taking the matter up
with the State Railroad Com
mission.
Had it not been for the protest
made to the Railroad Com mission
in the Omaha case that road
would have continued to haul the
people into Ashland whenever
their train on the main line was
late. But as it is they are now
taking care of the people of the
cities on the Washburn branch
by putting on an extra train.
The Washburn people have an
other kick coming against both
roads in the poor depots at this
point. The N. P. depot is a
disgrace to the road and should
have been replaced years ago.
It is little better than a box Car
and there is no accommodation
whatever for the travelling public.
AT the Omaha depot there is
few Accommodations aside from a
place for the travelling public to
wait for trains. There is no
water at the depot and no toilet
rooms.
The service on the N. P. is
about as poor as it possibly could
be. There is only three trains a
week and these are run on
irregular hours.
Washburn should not timidly
request that these roads make
imp ovements but should de-
mand that we get what we are
entitled to and keep on kicking
