The movement has had TO run the

the system has successfully passed

better field for the county agent than

know that wherever the counties have
adopted the system the results have
amply repaid for the outlay.
Speaking Of the character OF the
service rendered by these agents. the
Agricultural Department Official. in
his address to the Chicago conference.
gave this testimony to their utility:
They have shown how badly depleted
soil NAV he restored 20 fertility and
nth. They have introduced new crops
like cowpeas, soy beans. vetches. alfalfa.
etc. They have helped eradicate the
smut In oats. They have shown how to
escape the dangers OF the fly in wheat
how to control the chinch bug and the
Erasshopper They have demonstrated
the efficiency OF sanitation and vacci-
nation In the control OF hog cholera.
They have helped In anti-tuberculosis
campaigns and rendered yeoman service

chard pests and In general have devot-
ed themselves assiduously and success
fully TO the plain every day problems
OF the plain every day farmer. There r.
no time here to give individual in
stances. Each Of the $50 or more agents
now working In the Northern and West

reports give record OF work well per-

THAM SANE

The Jury in the Harry Thaw case,
called TO pass on his sanity, has rem
dered just the verdict IL was expected
Il would bring in. II would have been
most surprising had II come to any
other conclusion from the evidence
submitted. OF course Thaws morali-
~ was not on trial. and the injec, son
OF his immoral career into this trial
was desperate effort to prejudice
and divert the minds Of the jury from
the real question at issue. The jury's
verdict Is not final. as IL is in the pow.
er Of the court TO set IL aside n IL
does not concur with the presiding
judges conclusion. Il is not likely
that the court will override the YER
dict II is possible. however. that the
Judge. who will not announce his de
cision until tomorrow. may give
Thaw a freedom which will modify
his expectations.
II is to be hoped that his decision
will remove this case forever from
the court doekets. Not so much for
the sake OF surfeited public or the
unworthy cause OF all this contention.
or from any sentiment that he has al
ready been punished enough. but for
the peace tnat may come to that noble
woman. that devoted. faithful
mother who has been the greatest
sufferer Of any connected with this
ugly and noisome tragedy.

PRESIDENTS STRENGTH

said to be a handicap rather than an
advantage. demonstrated in the fate
which overlook another Democratic
President who was referred 10 as
bigger than his party. This per.
sonal bigness Is susceptible OF various
constructions. the most popular Of
which Is resentfuI deviations from
policies by factions. a resentment that
frequently results in open rebellion.

measures were forced through Con
