to Increase Productivity of
Northwest Soil.

ST. PAUL. Jan. 4.-Into the green
houses of James ]. Hill, in the rear of
his residence here. where Mr. Hill has
been carrying on for the last two
months an experiment expected to rev.
olutionize agriculture, six men repre-
senting commercial and financial Min
neapolis, were guided to witness as
tonishing results in wheat, oats and
barley culture, achieved by new chemi-
cal soil analysis and its practical ap-
plication.
Phosphorus has been found to be the
great essential plant food lacking in the
soil of the Northwest and Mr.. Hill has
found the way, he told the Minneapolis
men, to increase soil fertility.
Il believe" Mr.. Hill said, that we
can, by application of these methods,
increase the production of grain in the
Northwestern states to twice the guam
tity given in the figures of the depart
ment of agriculture for 1912"

Governor Target for

Too much power-a one man power

clared the recorder. whose fight for law
enforcement has made him a striking
figure in Georgia's judiciary.
The absence of any controlling law.

or a target for his political friends, who,
he said, are frequently employed or
called on to work for a pardon for some
convicted felon. thus permitting poli-
ties to throttle Justice
The recorder made no personal ciiti-
cism of Governor Brown, but took oc-
casion to commend the governor for his
action In several well known cases in
which he refused executive clemency.
THE frequent and fragrant abuses OF
this executive power in Georgia and
other states-several Southern states in
particular-have contributed probably
more than any other one influence to
render the administration of justice

Urges Protecting
Barrier" for Governors.

He urged that a law restricting the
pardonlng power would act as a pro
tectlng barrier to the governor and
save him from defeating the ends of
Justice by weakening under the tears,
prayers and pitiful and eart-rending
pleas of women and children.
Governors are nothing more than
human, imbued with human emotions
and feelings, and they are just as sus-
ceptible to an outbreak of human sym
pathy as an ordinary Individual" said
Judge Broyles.
Therefore, in order to safeguard Jus
tice and prevent 1t from being trampled
under foot, we must throw about the
governor the protecting influence of a
law that relieves him of so much en-
barrassing power. The responsibility
would be taken from his shoulders, and
the deplorable abuses of the pardoning
power would be at an end.
1T is not the man, but the system,
that is wrong. It's an ubiquitous sys-
tenn that places the governor in false
position-in a place where he is freely
permitted to allow his human sympathy
and sentiments to overcome him.
