Corrupt Practices Act Held to be
Constitutional.

The Wisconsin corrupt practices
act was this week held to be con
stitutional by the supreme court.
The act mainly regulates the
amount candidates for Offices may
spend either by themselves or
through committees and provides
tor a complete accounting of mon
eys spent during campaigns. Ex-
penses for travelling, hall rent, cir
culation of literature, newspaper
advertising, etc, is permitted, but
ban is placed on the spending to
influence voters.
The case in point was a com
plaint against G. A. Markham, dis
trict attorney for Dodge county,
charging that he had made illegal
expenditures. While the law in
the main was held constitutional
that portion of the act which pro-
vides that the court shall without
a jury determine all issues of fact
in proceedings brought under the
act was unconstitutional This
means that the defendant is entitled
to a trial by jury.

TOO MUCH TARIFF TINKERING.
Wellknown Mining Man Believes That
Congress ShouId Name a Tar
iff Commission.

- q" hNNoiaI'Ci iiNOi NiSW hOo.
+. Cole, the wellknown mining
man and former president of the
Oliver Iron Mining company,
who has returned to Duluth from
an extended business and pleasure
trip to the East and Southeast CEN
sures both Democrats and Repub-
licans for their tariff tinkering."
He is emphatic in the statement
that there will never be settled
conditions until scientific tariff
law is in force. While Mr.. Cole
is believer in high tariff, he did
not spare the Republicans in his
criticism.
The present tariff law" Mr..
Cole declared is about as poor
thing as could be conceived.
am not critising President Wilson,
for l think that he is a very fine
gentleman and a good and we'll
meaning president; but there are
others connected with his admin
istratlon who are detrimental to the
best interests of the country. Mr..
Garrison, secretary of the war, and
Mr.. Lane, secretary of the interior,
are two fine men who are a credit
to the administration and to the
country.
But as to the tariff. I am no
more a believer i'll permitting the
Republicans to fool with it than
am to let the Democrats do it.
believed that we should pledge our
congressman to vote to turn the
tariff matter over to commission
of experts who could handle it on
a scientific basis and make such
changes as need be from time to
time. That is the only sensible
way, and l would like to see it
brought about. e"
Mr.. Cole said that just now the de-
mand for copper plate is heavy.
The mines of Butte are operating
at from rs to so per cent capacity,
the Lake Superior mines are work
ing at full capacity and the pro-
perties in the Southeast and Utah
are gradually increasing production
Mr.. Cole said there is no disposit-
ion to increase the output rapidly
but rather to hold it up to the de
mand and no more.
Mr.. Cole said that where a pros
porous condition prevails it is in
communities where manufacturing
is enhanced by war demands, such
as in places where heavy orders
have been received for munitions
of war and for boots, blankets and
goods of like description. He
would make no prediction as to
business conditions when the wal
shall end. He said the sooner the
warning nations tire of the strife
the sooner and more completely
the war will end. He declared
that half-fnshed war would pro,
badly mean another one latter
For this reason he is not a believer
in refusing to sell to fighting nat
ions the things they need.

VALUE OF MANURE.

Few farmers appreciate the
money value of load of barn
yard manure or the value ofthe
eXcrement of an animal. Au-
thorities say that the value of
the manure from a horse or
mule for one year is about $23,
from a cow $3.50, from a hog
S2.55, from one hundred hens
almost 81, if all could be saved.
The Extension forces of the
State and Government are MAX
ing a great campaign to get
farmers to save manure and in
crease the supply. More straw
should be used for bedding in
the stalls. If straw can't be had
leaves may be brought from the
woods. One Arkansas farmer
writes that he hauled leaves
from the woods last winter and
covered three feet deep asmall
yard where he kept six cows,
four calves and six sows. He al
so used leaves for bedding in
his stalls and had eighty loads
of manure.

instantly.
Mr.. KEGS was standing talk

one called attention to the fact
that the street lights had not
been turned on. Mr.. KEGS said
he would attend to it and went
over to the box containing the
switch. As he seized the handle
his hand slipped and came in
contact with the uncovered
blades. He fell to the ground
and when his friends reached
him they found him uncon-

three times before he died.
Mr.. KEGS had been yardmas-
ter here flor 10 years. Before
that he was general yardmas-
ter at Fort Smith. He is surviv-

SAFETY FIRSU IS
GOOD FOR FARMER
Outline of Program Suggested
TO Head Off Lean Year That
Follows Fat Ones.

A program Of safe farming
for the South is outlined in d
bulletin which the United
States Department Of Agricul-
ture has sent to bankers, bust
ness men and farmers i'll the
cotton states. The history of ag-
riculture in the South, hes
been one of lean years and fat
yaa airs. Short crops and high
prices have almost invariably
been followed by big crops and
low prices and, in consequence
the farmer has experienced
much distress. The increased
attention which has recently
been given to supporting the
people upon the land has al
ready resulted in much good,
but there is some danger, it is
pointed out, that, with the price
Of cotton raising, there will be a
tendency for farmers to return
to the old system of gambling
on cotton. IF the people of the
South produced theirownliVin
the bulletin points out, it would
steady the whole system and
keep the boat from rocking.
The safety measures recon-
mended are as follows.
First. Produce a home gar
den for every family on the
farm, the year round, paying
special attention to plot of
Irish and sweet potatoes suffi-
cient to supply the family with
food of this character. Where
feasible, have a patch of sorg-
hum or other cane to produce
syrup for the family.
Second. Produce the corn
necessary to support all of the
people on the farm and the live
stock with absolute safety.
Third. Produce the neces
sary oats and other small grain
to supplement the corn as food.
Pay attention to winter grazing.
Fourth. Produce hay and
forage from some forage crop,
sufficient to supply all of the
live stock on the farm. Use le-
gumes such as clover, cowpeas,
velvet beans, soy beans and al
falfa for the production Of hay
and to enrich the soil withnitro-
gen and humus.
Fifth. Produce the meat
necessary to supply the people,

old home since his recent en-
trance into the ministry. He
was greeted by a large congre-
cation of old friends who have
known him since boyhood. At
II a. M, his subject was:
There is hell to shun and a
heaven to gain, and how | may
do it" At the close of the ser
vices a number came forward
for prayer.
At 3 p. M, Rev. George Gil
breath delivered a Sunday
lecture, and at s p. m.,
Rev. Cook preached again, US
ing the text found inEph.2 :8-9
Again a number of persons
came forward for prayer and
two were converted.
Although he is young in the
his earnestness and
appeals strongly tohis
hearers wherever he breaches,
and he is doing effective work
for the church.
