Does any one realize the power Of
coal as a worker? A man was set to
work to pump as hard as he could all
day. and at the end Of ten hours 1t
was found that he had done Just as
much work as little less than two
ounces of coal could do. Taking all
the energy put forth by a hardwork-
ing man during one whole year. the
same amount of force would be fur
nishcd by thirty-six pounds Of good
coal, or say forty pounds Of average
coal. OF course even in our best en-
gines the greater part Of the working
energy of coal Is wasted. But even
II only one-tenth Is turned to account
one and half hundredweight of coal
is equal to a man working 300 days
of the year. A horse can do as much
work as ten men. but one and quar-,
ter pounds of coal have as much work
ing force as a horse expends In one
day. So that ton Of coal, II we
could use all Its force. would do as
much work as six horses working for
a whole year.

REV. A. E. PAGE RESIGNED

Rev. A. f. Page rendered his resig'
nation. as pastor of the First Baptist
church last Sunday to take effect at
the will OF the congregation. He has
been pastor here two years, and gave
as his reason for rendering his resig
nation that he wants the church to
feel free to call some other pastor II
they so desire. Every member OF the
church is urged to be present next
Sunday to vote.
Rev. Page has made many warm
friends during his two years stay as
pastor Of the First Baptist church
here, and we are sure his congregation
will see fit to recall him to this charge
He would be greatly missed. not only
by his members, but by the entire
community. He is not only splendid
preacher. but good, influential and
enterprising citizen. = Madlsonvills

cur;os;ties Of Sound.

There are mysteries In the transmits
sion of sound that have noa yet been
fathomed. For example, the guns or
the Orion are said to have been heard
ninety seven miles away. though In
audible to those much nearer. and 1t
is on record that the reyerberaton OF
the battle of Waterloo reached many
places in Kent though General Col
vile and his detachment heard nothing
of Il a dozen miles away. Whistles.
boots, sirens and noises OF all kinds
have been tested by the Trinity House
In order to find a noise which will be
infallibly heard for a certain distance
in vain. They may all be heard for a
dozen miles and be inaudible at half q
mile. Many OF the disasters about our
coasts are doubtless due to that mys-
terious 'soundless zone" In which the
human ear cannot catch the warning.

WEBB Law TO BE TESTED.

1t will be remembered that when the
Webb bill (prohibiting the shipment of
liquor into "dry' States) was passed
over the President S veto, the objection
Of the President to the bill was that
its provisions were uncon stitutioual.
Senator Sutherland Of this State had
contended with the President on this
point, and he voted against the pas.
sage of the bill and in support of
the President S veto. Smoot opposed
the bill on its passage, but switched on
the final contest and voted to pass the
bill over the veto. Snoot agreed with
Sutherland that the bill was unconsti-
tutional, and yet he put himself under
the severe criticism of President Taft
in his denunciation of those lawmakers
who, contrary to their own Judgment,
voted TO pass measures in order, as

rather than so much to the raising
of the single crop of cotton. This is
not to say that they could not still in
crease their yield Of cotton by proper
culture on less acreage than now, and
also multiply many times their produc'
tion of beef cattle.
Unquestionably, that must be the de
velopment of the future in this line OF
production. Meat must be raised on
the farms, rs formerly. and the number
of meat animals enormously increased
as could certainly be done. In the work
in this direction we take it that the
State agricultural colleges, helped by
the Il. S, Department of Agriculture
ought TO cut very large figure; ana
10 them the idea must be commended
as the best possible suggestion OF re-
lief; for the American people are IN
sstent in their demand for meat at
reasonable prices.

ALWAYS THE SAME STORY.

A primary election was held in st.
Louis last Saturday. The result was
unsatisfactory, as usual, in that the
people lacked interest, and did not turn
out. An editorial expression in the St.
Louis Globe.Democrat expresses fairly
the discomfort at the result, in the fol.
lowing paragraph;
Registered voters in ST. Louis number
nearly 100000 Leading municipal noni-
nations have Just been made by O. vote
of about 10000 for successful candidates.
How Is that for IL per cent voice OF
the people2
Twelve per cent of the people means
one eighth Of the total, and these are
the figures as given by the Globe.
Democrat. When we note further that
the results of the nominations gave a
general collection of "unknowns'' to
the ticket, the story is fairly told.
1t is to be noted that in st. Louis,
as elsewhere, even much smaller vote
than that which on the average is cast
often nominates a candidate where
there are a number in the running. st,
Louis, with 100000 votes, nomiuates
with poll of 10000. And yet if there
were half dozen candidates for any
office, it might be that even 1000
votes would give nomination, or one.
fortieth Of the total vote of the city.
Surely no packed or neglected caucus
could possibly show results worse than
this.
1t is plain case that the primary,
applied OH o large scale, is an absolute
failure. 1t is not comparable in effec-
tiveness and in getting popular results
with the old caucus and convention
system; and if we are to depart from
the party caucus and convention, GER
taiply something better, not worse
than the caucuses must be devised.
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1913-03-13
THE RAISING OF MEATS.

AS An explanation for the constantly
increasing prices of meat, it is always
pointed out that the population Of this
country is increasing in a far greater
ratio than is the production of meat
animals that is, the demand for meat
outruns the supply. In fact, the
cattle production of this country is
decreasing rather than increasing, and
until the increase begins again, and
keeps pace with the increasing popula.
tion, 1T is not likely that we shall have
much relief from the high prices of
meats.
And yet the means of relief are per-
feet. and not difficult of application.
1t Ised to be the regular practice for
farmers to raise beeves, hogs. and some
sheep, but especially becves and hogs,
for the market. But for a good many
years past the raising of hogs has not
kept pace with the increase in other
agricultural products. The raising of
reeves on the farms fell off greatly at
the time when the great cattle ranges
of the plains were in their prime, and
when cattle could be raised in the open
at prices lower than the farmers could
raise them on their farms. But the
range cattle business has seen its great
days; it is on the wane, never to be
revived. The needed relief, therefore,
must come through return to the old
method of farmers raising plenty Of
hogs and beef cattle.
Take the case of Kansas as an cx-
ample. The raising Of meats in Kansas
has been practically neglected Ii is a
State TINT raises enormous quantities Of
grain, especially corn and wheat, but
corn is the great grain for meat pro-
duction; and Kansas has corn in greater
quantities than any other State. The
probability is that Kansas could raise
more meat in any given year than was
turned off, say, from all the Texas
ranges in their best days; and it will
be necessary for Kansas. Iowa, Mis-
souri,, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio. Kentucky,
and other of the great grain producing
States to take up again the production
Of cattle for meat, When they do
this there will be plenty of meat at
fair prices, and the farmers will make
money in the business.
All through the South there are vast
tracts, especially in the billy regions,
that are not available for tillage, but
which would raise cattle Of the best
kind and in the best form 1t would
nav the Southern farmers In turn their
attention to cattle and corn raising
