has nothing or little else to recon-
mend him makes no progress toward
goal. while a man we'll entitled by
public performances to eonsidera-
ton in connection with the great
prize needs no such publicity.
One has only to recall the history OF
the past forty years to appreciate the
power of hattery in separating anna
teur politicians from their coin. How
many presidential booms have been
started and kept going by the lib
eral use of cash, only to perish be-
fore or at convention tinel How
many men without single qualifi-
cation, generally recognized. for the
presidency have been carried high by
paid satellites only to fall like stick
in the darkness later!
Judge Hughes, of course, needs no
boom. He is sufficiently we'll and
favorab1y known to dispense with
the contrivances that grow out of and
90 with politics. And then he is not
in politics. If the republican nomi-
nation comes to him it will be with
out the aid of anything but a record
which has given him both off and on
the bench wide prestige. Good wine
needs no bush. A real presidential
quantity needs no staff of trained
eulogists.

joseph A, Holmes.

Joseph A. Holmes, the director of
the bureau of mines, died martyr
to his work. He literally devoted his
life to the cause of mining safety, in
which he had been interested for
many years. The government serv-
ice has seldom included a man who
took his task more earnestly or who
gave himself so unselhshly to his
duties. Working for years along the
lines of mine safety, he was ideally
equipped for the dictatorship of the
new bureau upon its creation in 1910,
and with the increased facilities at
forded he had in the four years of
his active work in that position in
yaluably supplemented his earlier en-
deavors to make mining in this coun-
try less destructive of human life.
That mining disasters continue to oc-
cur only emphasizes the value of his
accomplishments. He was striving
continually toward the ideal of safe
mining, studying every conceivable
method for the prevention of disaster
and the, education of miners in safe
ty methods. Every man who goes
beneath the surface of the earth in
the great organized attack upon the
hidden resources of the planetary
structure owes a debt of gratitude
to Joseph A. Holmes, who deserves
a perpetual memorial, that if shaped
in accordance with his known desires
will probably take the form of re-
search endowment for the proseeu-
ton of the task to which he gave
himself

ought to be. tastefully designed, well
built and well located. The purpose
of the new Treasury order, it is to
be conceived, is to apply to Uncle
Sans building practices the rules
that any business establishment
would follow in providing its own
structures and design and place the
buildings in accordance with needs
and in proportion to local conditions.
Applying this principle to Wash
ington would cause Congress prompt
ly to make provision for the public
buildings of the future by acquiring
the most suitable land now available
for this purpose, that which lies be-
tween the Avenue and the Mali, the
Capitol and the ellipse. 1t would
also cause the abandonment of the
present extravagant rental methods
and the provision of urgently needed
buildings for the governments use.

Public Building Common Sense.

There 10 sound common sense in
the new order just issued by the Sec
rotary of the Treasury with refer
ence to the purchase of public build
ing sites and the construction of
buildings. Whereas heretofore it has
been customary to get as much
money as possible for this purpose
in the course of appropriations and
to spend all Of it. regardless of the
real needs of the community, the
Treasury will hereafter buy the most
appropriate sites and design and build
the most suitable structures. Under
the old system many small town
has been given public building Of
needless size and elaboration on TN
necessarily expensive ground simply
because the pork barrel" had yield
ed a fat slice Of public provender.
1t does not follow that buildings of
this kind should be cheap and unat-
tractive in appearance and tucked
away on back streets on cheap land.

Mr.. Perkins on the Issues.

In a signed communication to the
New York American. George w.
Perkins declares that "the three prime
requisites for permanent prosperity
in this country are:
"First-Take the tariff out of poll
tics through the establishment OF
permanent. expert. non-partisan tar
if commission.
"Second-Give us federal incor-
poration law under which our cor
porations can organize and be regu-
lated and controlled.
"Third-Give us on-government-
owned merchant marine"
Nav not this be accepted as the
major part of the bull moose plat
form, either for purposes of negotia-
ton for complete union with the re-
publican party next year. or as the
basis of another independent bull
moose campaign for the presidency?
Next to Mr.. Roosevelt. Mr.. Perkins
is the most distinguished bull mooser.
and speaks with most authority for
bull moosery.
Undoubtedly Mr.. Roosevelt would
be glad to see the tariff taken out
of politics. or at least taken out of
his way. He is sensitive. and to a
degree vulnerable, on that subject.
His only tariff record is neglect of
the tariff during his seven and half
years in the White House. He is a
proclaimed protectionist, but there
are no specifications. Just what sort
of tariff revision he would favor and
press Upon Congress if President
again is a question.
The objection commonly made to
Mr.. Perkins second proposition is
that it squints toward state social
ism. Governmental charter and con-
troll of corporations might prove a
step in the direction of government
ownership and operation of all big
utilities. So large an order would
possess elements of great danger to
private enterprises as now estab-
lished.
Mr.. Perkins is on a safe basis re-
garding his third proposition. The
demand is not for government
owned-and-operated merchant ma
rine, but one assisted by the govern
ment 50 as to be able to compete
with rival merchant fleets assisted by
their governments. If our flag is to
be restored to the sea on merchant
ships we must take a leaf out of the
books of those governments which
have been doing the carrying for the
world.
In the same communication Mr..
Perkins says:
"As for the Wilson administration,
the legislation it has recommended
and forced through Congress up to
date, in so far as it affects corpora
tons, the tariff and the merchant
marine, shows it knows nothing about
business"
There will be no quarrel between
Mr.. Perkins and the republican lead
ers on those general grounds. His
contention is the republican conten-
ton. But on the subject of corpora
tions-how best to curb them, and
make them perform a profitable pub
lie as we'll as a profitable private
service-the republicans may fear a
former and highly successful trust
maenate bearing suggestions.

Booms and Booming.

The story that a Hughes boom is
incubating meets with a prompt de-
NAL. 1t would not have gone far
even if unchallenged. A boomee must
give his consent to that sort of
thing; and the attitude of Judge
Hughes toward the presidency pre-
cludes the possibility of his approval
of any formal activity in his behalf
respecting next years republican
nomination.
Much has been said about the
waste of money that takes place in
Campaigns after presidential nomi-
nations have been made Much
money is wasted. Campaign man
ayers work under high pressure, and

about creating public sentiment, and
harvesting it after creation. Small
armies of so-called experts apply for
jobs. Many avenues to the money

The Naval Advisory Board.

The proposed organization OF a
naval board of invention and devel-
opment comprised of Americans who
have distinguished themselves in re-
search and invention is calculated
greatly to increase the prestige OF the
navy. and will probably add greatly
to its efficiency provided the recon-
mendations of these experts are fol-
lowed by legislation. Mr.. Thomas
A. Edison has periodically accepted
the tender of the Craftsmanship of
the new board. and his example Will
doubtless cause others who are in
vited to membership to give their
services. Names have been suggested
inclusive of the foremost men of
scientific and mechanical achieve
ment in this country, an airplane in
ventor. a remarkably successful auto
mobile manufactured and experts
along other lines. all of them distin-
euished for invaluable contributions
to science.
A question arises in this connec-
ton which is of paramount inn
portance 1t is by law forbidden the
United States to accept voluntary
services. and there is no appropria-
ton to pay salaries to the men who
are to be summoned to the naval ad-
visory board The services they can
render are valuable and should be
compensated literally, notwithstand-
ing the fact that they are all doubt
less willing to give freely of their
time and energies and experience for
the country's sake. The practical
question regarding their payment
may not arise. however. until Con-
sress has had an opportunity to act,
and if the matter is laid before the
legislature it should result in
prompt and generous provision for
the compensation of the members of
this board.
As already suggested, however, lit
tie good can come from this new or
Sdai[dtiOus HoWCNCI CUulHSHC us
members and however valuable their
suggestions and researches unless
Congress heeds their advice by en-
acting it into law. II is always to
be understood that they viii be
guided by the technical knowledge
OF naval experts, or rather that their
recommendations will be considered
in the light Of the navy's practical
needs. The combination of general
science. mechanical ability and naval
experience on the advisory board will
presumably yield results that Con-
gress in its legislation should be will
ing to follow to the full extent of the
national financial resources. Secre-
tary Daniels is to be congratulated
upon the excellent beginning tina,
has been made for the creation of
An advisory board that will command
the country's confidence in the early
upbuilding of the naval forces.

Imaginary Destruction.

If all the men who talk of fish
Were fishermen for sure,
If fact were equal to the wish
That stout1y doth endure,
If all the men who sit and write
OF FISH, in verse so fine,
Had sought the waters that invite
The patient hook and line,
If all the tackle that Is made
And every year turned loose
'Mongst sporting goods to be dis
played,
Were put to active use.
The situation could be told
In language quite succinct:
The fishing yarns would all be old
The fish would be extinct.

Says Recent Dry Weather Has Stress
ed Importance of Late Shallow
Flowing to Conserve Moisture.
Following is the report of Farm
Demonstrators Kent for July submit
ted to the board of county commits
sioners
have visited II farmers, Travelled
Ala miles, inoculated 10 hogs, gave
six canning demonstrations, wrote "a
letters in the interest of the work and
built one silo.
Tn ework this month has stressed
the importance of late shallow cult
walton for the purpose of conserving
moisture and we note with pleasure
how much better crops have with
stood the hot dry weather where
such cultivation has been practiced.
The rapid shallow cultivation has act
ed as a mulch and has kept the soil
moisture from evaporating as it
comes to the surface by capillary at
traction. This is without a doubt
the best way to make a crop when
rain fall is not abundant.
Some time this month has been de-
voted to impressing the Importance
of canning from the garden a supply
of vegetables and fruits for winter
use and to demonstrate the fact that
these home-raised products are bet
ter and cheaper than those put up
elsewhere. We will never get to liv-
ing at home as we should until we
begin to can up the surplus for win
ter, when we cannot grow it.
Plans for fall grazing crops for
hogs and cattle have been taken up
with a number of demonstrators. Ar
rangements should be made now for
a rape, rye and vetch, cabbage and
turnip patch. An acre Of bur clover
should be planted not later than the
last of August If this is planted
early enough seed can be raised to
sow several acres as well as reseed
the same place. Arrangements should
be made at once for seed or it will
not be advisable to plant These
crops are absolute necessities to the
stock raisers, and the sooner we get
to raising them the sooner We will
find it out. If we don't raise them
we had just about as we'll quit rails
ing stock.
