The Portland Election.

Even the stepped in it's sins, hard
sheIled, cid Democratic Argus, adn1lts
that the Republican party is factor
worthy of Democraey's best steel COR
rteaf7,. and that 1t is not so proud of
the victory in Mondays election as
Il might wish to be. Taken all in all,
Portiaud's Democratic newspaper
hadn't a single cocksdoodle-doo left
In 1t. The renowned Argus poultry
coop remained closed-maybe the
BOOSTERS were all eaten in Thanksgiv-
ing that it was no worse.
But whether Mayor Curtis, who ap-
bears to have been elected by nine
votes, retains his seat after an in
spection of the ballots or not, the big
fact remains radiant before the peo-
ole of Maine notification and Tam
manyism have received another black
Eve from the people of Maine. Right
where the elements met, decency has
won an amazing triumph. Right
where the old regime of personal lib
rrty' and local self government
stood defiant, there Governor Haines
planted the flag of civic liberty and
municipal deeency and the people
have gathered under 1t.
In spite of the most daring political
trickery and depraved tactics ever at
tempted anywhere-if reports are
true-the city of Portland has elected
Republican city government and
game within ten votes of electing the
mayor.
II 10 a sfgnal triumph for deceney,
IN city that had to have State in
reference to bring II about.
A prominent State official who is
Democrat was this week heard to say
that II Mayor Curtis was not re-elect-
Id by q margin Of more than a thou
sand votes, it might be considered
triumph for the Haines policy.
We have no means Of knowing how
much election crookedness was perpe-
trated by the Democratic machine,
fighting a last ditch fight for a dis
credited cause, but If half is true that
Is reported, the courts should handle
the matter promptly and rigidly.
IL Mayor Curtis has been honestly
elected. he is entitled to his incum-
bency, but the moral victory is just as
big and inspiring to those who stand
not only for good business, but for
good manhood and womanhood to the
detriment OF the DEVILS traffic.
Personal liberty and local self
government" have received q good
hard Jolt in Names metropolis.
To those croakers who have been
hanging all their prophesies of the
downfall of "Hainesism'' on the Port
land election, we would suggest that
they go into the business of encour-
bging legitimate trade and moral
progress. We have waited" for the
proof Of the pudding in the Portland
demonstration. Its flavor is to our
taste, thank you.

ALFALFA OBJECT
South Dakota Determined Ia
Find Alfalfa That Will
Stand Our Winters
HANSEN ON TRIP TO SIBERIA
Purpose d 70 Oct Alfalfa Thai
Il Adopted TO the Upland
Pralrie Lands Of
NorfhWeet

Sonth Dakota has entered de-
flnitely upon a campaign for an
alfalfa field on every hill top
and a prosperous home in every
valley, q campaign which will
make for an immensely increas-
ed prosperity for the northwest
The states latest step
in the prosecution of this az
ricultural conquest has been to
send Professor N. E. Hanson, vice
director and horticulturist of the
South Dakota experiment station,
at the South Dakota College of
Agriculture and Mechanic Arts,
at Brookings, to Siberia, to get a
sufficient supply of the kinds of
alfalfa seed that will grow on the
prairie uplands Of the northwest
without winter killing.
In March, 1911, the South Dak-
ota legislature appropriated g.
600 to be used in the following
biennial period in trying out sew
eral varieties of alfalfas that had
been found by Professor Hansen
in the course Of three extended
trips through AAia and particul-
arly Siberia. These slfalfas had
been found e peless 4 aaality
aot heid ~ tie common aI7zifsa
grown in the United States. They
are waterproof; they would not
winter-kill out on the exposed
prairies. The people of South Oak
ota, had come to believe as re-
suit of the experiments carried on
under the direction Of Professor
Hansen that If these rich forage
plants could be widely grown in
their state, long step
would be taken towards putting
the commonwealth on the map
in q bigger way than ever. Hence
the appropriation.
AHalfas Tested
A few days after the legislat-
ure had provided the funds need
I'd, an offer was made through
the newspapep to send ten al
falfa plants free to the first ten
applicants from each county--the
plants to be set and cared for &C

cording to instructions from the
experiment station. Applications
came pouring in-80O Of them.
As result, these alfalfas,
which grow wild in Siberia under
condition closely resembling those
Of practically every part Of South
Dakota, and even a much larger
area were given very thorough
test in 1911, and 1912, under eli
matte conditions that tried their
staying qualities most severely.
But they stood the test. So salts
factory were the results, at least
that it was decided to push the
work much farther.
At the 1913 session of the legis
lature Professor Hansen in q
twenty minute talk told the law
makers what had been accomplish
ed in the two years Of co-opera-
tive experiment. His opinion,
that the alfalfas in question
would ultimately make alfalfa
culture possible clear to the
Arctic circle on this continent,
was known. The problem and
the man to solve it were before
them. They had faith in the
problem and in the man. Conse-
quently, when later two bills
came up, one appropriating $751;
COO for the prosecution of fur
ther experiments in the state,
and one providing 10000 with
which to send the professor hack
to Siberia to gather more seed
they were quickly passed. Two
ytars before the state had given
$4,000 for alfalfa experiments
and culture, now it was giving
$:0, 600. The people . faith in
Professor Hansen was shown by
the fact that - was named in
both bill4 4 the first = the

to 60 to Asia after the seed.
After Seed n Siberia
Following the passage of these
two hills, the professor began q
strenuous campaign through the
northern and northwestern parts
Of his state, where the problems
VI alfalfa growing are the most
difficult to solve, getting ex-
tensive plah ready for the cur
rent season, and organizing the
work Of several alfalfa nurseries
both east and west. Having set
this work going under competent
men. he departed for Siberia by
way Of New York, prepared to
take with him all the necessary
equipment for gathering a har-
vest of alfalfa seed.
That the professor will bring
back what he is going after,
there seems little room for doubt,
