The Problem of Longevity.

While he delights in improvlsing rhymes
and discussing the operations OF the

allotment of years as distinction

And he has his theories, novel as they

REPEAL IN DOUBT.

That President Wilson is going to
have the fight of his life in forcing
the repeal Of the exemption clause of
the Panama canal act goes without say
ing. Senator o German, chairman Of
has flatly refused to take any action
in tho tolls matter until after the
house has put itself upon record, aud
even then he will doubtless refuse to
be hurried or harried into reporting tho
bill
In the meantime, a strong sentiment
is being worked up against the repeal
all over the country. Victor Murdoch,
leader of the Progressives IN the
lower house of congress, has given
notice that the members of his party
viii oppose it to man, and while some
few Republicans may be induced TO
follow the leadership of Root and
Lodge, the indications are that a good
majority or them will be found ranged
on tho side of the American merchant
marine when the test comes.
The real danger the pct plan of tho
president will have to encounter, how
ever, lies in the opposition of leading
members Of his own party. Speaker
Clark and Leader Underwood will lead
tho fight against repeal in the house
and while they will probably be I'm.
successful IN beating it they will make
it comparatively easy for the Demo
cratic senators 10 set the seal of their
condemnation upon it in the senate.
The president has been given assur-
ances by his closest adherents in both
houses that his wishes III the matter
will be respected, but delays are danger.
Gus IN most cases and doubly so in
TINS particular instance.
II has been said that the opposition
OF Champ Clark is based upon his dis.
like of Secretary Bryan; that he accepts
the word of the president that the sue
cess of the foreign policy of the
country depends upon the repeal Of the
tolls exemption and that he will do his
level best to defeat the exemption in
order to bring discredit upon the de
partmept of state. Those who know
the speaker, best, however, will not
credit him vitu such an unworthy mo.
tive, even though his defeat in the
Baltimore convention may and probably
does still raukle in his breast.

tion to force the vote in the house

tion. It was not so easy, however,
to get tho plank incorporated in the
platform. Senators Kern and Shively,
who represented tho administration,
were compelled to labor with the com
mittee on resolutions at an all-night
session
One can well imagine the disgust OF
the old-time Hoosicr Democrats, Tom
Taggart and others OF his illk, who have
been used TO "setting up tho pins' in
state conventions, at the turn which
statewide primaries are soon to be the
order of the day. 1t is claimed that un-

KEEP UP THE FERTILITY.

! With the tendency to specialization
| in agriculture that is now so noticeable
in northern Utah, there comes the dan
ger Of soil exhaustion There arc al
ready some farmers about Lehi and
Provo who are making a specially of
raising sugar beets At Ogden some
farms are devoted almost entirely to
sugar beets, while others are used ex-
clusively to grow tomatoes for the can
ming factories. This specialization is
in harmony with the trend of thought,
and 1t will, doubtless, prove remunera-
tive to the farmers who engage in it.
However, there must ever be borne in
mind the fact that oue.crop farming
takes much from the soil and does not
make any adequate return in tho way
of fertiliZing elements. The farmer
who finds from experience he can make
five times as much from crop of sugar
beets or tomatoes as he can from iu~

ow and buy his hay. Further, there be-
ING no inclination to divide his time
between sugar beet growing and dairy
farming, the number Of head Of milch
cows and other cattle Is reduced to the
minimum. This means that little or no
fertility Is returned to the soil in the
shape of manure. The toppings of the
sugar beets are generally fed TO ami
mails, thus taking away another source
Of fertiliziug material. The farmer may
go on in this manner for six OF eight
years, but there must come, sooner or

this specialization there must no fer
tility added to the soil AT the pres
ont time barnyard manure is the only
available source of fertilization, and
this should be used without stint. All
and tomato growers should employ
every spare moment in hauling from
nearby towns all the good manure
available. This should be spread upon
the ground at once, so as to reach into
the soil during the winter. With a
good dressing with manure every win
ter the same land may be used several
years for growing sugar beets, espe-
cially if the tops be plowed under eacB
fall.
In the very near future the use of
concentrated commercial fertilizers will
become necessary to the specialist. Yet
these commercial preparations do not
contain the humus that is so necessary
and that is found in the vegetable mat
ter in the barnyard manures The sit
uation, then, is that every special crop
farmer should arrange in advance for
all the manure in towns and elsewhere
that he can beg, buy or borrow. Hav-
ing thus provided for the manure, the
farmer should bear in mind that it

CARNEGIE'S IDEAL.

When Senator o German made the
charge that the Carnegie Peace Founda-
ton had been established not so much
TO secure universal peace as TO create
an alliance between the United States
and Great Britain, the charge was re-
sented with considerable indignation
by Senator Root. who considered it a
reflection upon himself because of bis
connection with the Carnegie Founda-
ton. Since the clash between the two
senators some illuminating evidence on
the subject has been discovered. SEN
ator . German quoted in the senate
the other day an article by Andrew
Carnegie in the North American Re-
view, in which Mr. Carnegie declared
that, "it was a mistake for the
American colonies ever to have broken
away from the mother country and
added that he intended 'consecratins

tries

reference 10 canal tolls
The first move in the campaign of
the peace foundation TO secure the re-
peal of the Panama canal act was Mr..
Root S speech In the senate attacking
the right of the United States TO or.
empt its coastwise shipping from the
payment Of tolls The next step was
the sending Of $4,000 copies OF the
Root speech through the mails under
his senatorial frank, free of postage.
The third step was TO send zoo, 900
copies of pamphlet, at the expense Of
the Carnegie Foundation, 10 college
professors and others and TO appeal to
senator's and representatives TO work
for the repeal OF the exemption law.
