Cambridge, Mass, May 7:-About
forty pupils in the Ellis school, COM
prising an army of strikers under the
leadership of Jimmie Glynn, returned
to school today, although not in the
close formation in which they boldly
marched out yesterday, and 1t is un-
derstood that General Glynn was
somewhat averse to appearing In his
seat. The strike was for one session
of school daily. The strike breakers
were parents who took no chances in
spelling the child and sparing the
rod.

USE TESTED SEED.

No man will ever know what money
has been spent on seed that never ger
minated, or what loss of horsepower
and planting it. Neither will it ever
be possible to estimate the loss to the
farmers of the country from the use
of such seed, and its failure to GER
inmate, or, if it does terminate, to
produce healthy plants. The unwis-
dom of taking any chances on poor
seed is becoming more generally recog-
nized. The farmer has a large invest
ment during the season in the labor
that is placed on every acre Of his
land. 1t costs just SO much to pillow
the land, to seed it, to harrow it, to
cut the crop. and to perform all the
other details of work belonging to it.
The difference between the first class
seed and that which is doubtful
amounts to a few cents per acre. Ii
tempt to ave those few cents, and in
doing SO to take chances of making
a loss on the entire investment when
the slightly greater expenditure would
have been, under the same conditions,
certain to yield a profit. In this con-
nection a letter from G. A. Magnus-
son, of Minneapolis, president Of the
Northwestern Elevator company. is Of
interest to the farmer of the north
west. Mr.. Magnusson says:
Some of the line elevator companies
have taken pains to submit samples Of
grain to the inspection department of
the state OF Minnesota for a germina-
ton test, which, il there is time
enough. may prove a good thing for
the country. In several samples sub
mitted Of all kinds of grain. inclusive
Of wheat, durum and barley. they
found a very great variation, some of
It having a termination test of over
80 per cent, and some of it, especially
barley. having a termination test as
low as 80 per cent. with no ~perceptible
difference in the looks of the grain. 1t
seems to me, therefore, that it be-
hooves everyone to make a germina-
ton test of the grain that they ex-
pect to use for seed in order to get
good results. This seems to apply
not only to n part Of the country,
but to all parts. of the country SO far
as the northwest is concerned.
II want you to extend this informa-
ton as far as 1t is possible to get 1t
among the producers. See that all the
elevators. whether independent, farm
ers' or line companies, have the infor-
nation, and will disseminate it; also,
as this is of very great Importance to
your local newspapers, because 1t is Of
Importance to the community. please
see that they get It and publish It with.
out delay. and l want to near from
you In regard to 1t promptly. and from
time to time"

CHARACTERISTIC ENERGY VS..

Chicago Record-Herald: A splen-
did demonstration of energy and eff
cheney has just been afforded by u
government and citizenship. The lat
est reports from the hooded districts
Of. Ohio and Indiana are most cheer-
ing and significant. The relief work
has been thorough; every department
of the national government that could
help in any way promptly came to the
rescue, regardless of red tape n
routine. Private agencies have, OF
course. responded AS heartily and Wig
orously.
Already the stricken cities are talk
ing of rebuilding and improving the
food-swept sections. We may be sure
that not a day will be lost. American
enterprise and energy will take care
of that phase of the problem.
But it ought not to take disasters
of national proportions to call out this
wonderful energy and organizing ge-
Mus of the people. Foresight is in

during the campaign last fall promis-
ing that If he should be elected he
would sign what is known as the full
crew" bill If that bill were passed by
the legislature. and that he would
urge on the legislature the passage
OF such a measure. In addition 1t is
charged that he made this promise Sc
cretly to members of Il railway labor
organization. saying that he would
state his position publicly were it not
for the fact that if he did so the rail-
roads would spend immense sums of
money to defeat him. 1t Is only fair
to the governor to say that he denies
having written such Il letter or made
such a secret promise. The question
arises: Surprising he had done as
charged, what of it:
There are cases m record in which
men have been charged with bribery
because of the making OF prediction
promises. and an effort has been made
to convince courts that any promise
relating to the performance of official
acts is as much an offer Of a consider
alton for votes as the tender of money
would he. We do not recall a case in
which a court has taken this view. 1t
is not easy tn see how it could he jus-
tilted. provided the promises We're
made publicly. and consisted merely
In a statement of attitude on certain
subjects which might come up for
consideration. Political parties issue
platforms. or declarations of princi-
piles. which constitute promises as to
the acts TO be performed if the party
is successful at the polls. Individual
candidates reiterate those promises.
and add specific ones of their w on
subjects which they conceive to be of
special interest to their constituents.
All this is usual. and no fault can rea-
sonablH be found with it.
In the New York case. if a matter
of railroad legislation We're under con-
sideration. it Was undoubtedly proper
for the candidate for governor to make
his position or that issue known. But.
if it should develop that Mr.. Sulzer,
during his candidacy. actually made
the promises which his accusers say
he made. and that he sought to keep
his intentions secret from the general
public. then such an act would un-
doubtedlS have been a violation of all
the principles which are supposed to
lie at the bottom of honorable cam
%paisning.
The essence Of the charge is not
that the governor made a promise,
but that he undertook to carry water
on both shoulders during the CAM
paign. permitting one set of his con-
stituents to believe thai he would do
one thing n at the same time prom
Using another Set to do another. An
honorable mar could not have done
that, and. because We hope that the
governor of New York is an honorable
man. we hope hat he will he able to
make it clear that he has been falsely

If the plans now apparently COM

eed by that body it will be necessary
for the small fry to increase their
ante before getting into the grain
gamble. There will be a cry that the
proposal to require the deposit of
greater margins than formerly will
freeze out the small Spectator. It is
to be hoped that it does. There is a
legitimate field for investment or
speculation in grain. But the man
who goes into it on a shoestring has
no business with it, and the sooner he
is Kept out the better it will be for
