BACK TO The FARM

The cry Of Back to the farm"
should now be changed to Back to
the ballot" The ballot is about the
only thing that will check these out
rageous assaults upon the constitu-
tional rights of the colored people in
this country.
The foregoing is from the Richmond
Planet and there is more common
sense in those seven lines than is usu-
ally printed in seven columns OF the
average paper. Editor Mitchell has
certainly struck the key note of the
cause Of the trouble.

MINNESOTA'S PROTEST.

Prior to the adjournment of Con-
gress, the Saint Paul Branch of the
National Independent Equal Rights
League, through it's president, sent
letters to Minnesota's Senators, Knute
Nelson and Moses E. Clapp, protesting
against the enactment Of jimcrow laws
and asking their aid in preventing the
passage of adverse legislation of any
kind, especially the bills affecting the
District Of Columbia, one of which had
already passed the House of Repre-
sentatives.
Since the adjournment of Congress,
the following letters have been received
and they speak for themselves as to
the stand of our Senators in regard to
such legislation: .... .
Washington, D. c., March, 1915.
Dear Mr.. Adams: Your letter to
hand in due time. Congress has ad-
journed and the legislation to which
you refer has failed to pass either
house of Congress and do not believe
that such legislation is likely to pass
in the future.
Your truly,
knute Nelson.
Washington, D. c., March, 1916.
Dear Mr.. Adams: Yours at hand.
There is no danger Of any adverse leg
islation. There was very little danger
of any legislation relative to the Dis
trict, because Senator Jones is mem
Der of the District Committee and he
is one of the most loyal of friends.
think there will be no trouble next
session. At all events, you may de-
pend upon it that before they get any
adverse legislation they will realize
they have encountered some apposi-
ton.
With regards, am cordially yours

HUMAN NATURES FOULEST BLOT"

NY soul is sick with every days report
Of wrong and outrage, with which earth is filled.
There is no flesh in mans obdurate heart.

That falls asunder at the touch of fire.

Pacific KeIp

In recent article in the Journal Of
Agricultural Research, Mr.. Guy r.
Stewart Of the University of California
agricultural experiment station dis
cusses the kelps of the Pacific coast
as source of nitrogen. AS result
Of extensive experiments, the author
finds that the readiness with which
the nitrogen in dried and ground kelp
used as fertilizer is changed to am
monia and nitrates in fresh field soil
varies with the species and with the
way 1t is prepared. Nereocystis luet-
keana gives up it's nitrogen with rela-
tive quickness, but it is of minor COM
mercial importance. Macrocystis puri.
fera changes slowly in the SOIL but the
availability of its nitrogen is increased
If it is used fresh, or at least only
partly dried. Unfortunately, macrocys-
tbs must be dried until crisp in order
to grind readily. The drying should
not be continued longer than is neces-
sary, and the kelp should not be
scorched or overheated. In the same
journal another California chemist,
Mr.. D. R. Hoagland, gives detailed
account Of the Organic Constituents
of Pacific Coast Helps" Incidentally,
he deals with certain interesting eco
nomic questions in regard to kelp;
namely, the possible feeding value Of
kelp for man or animals, the utiliza.
ton of its organic by-products, and the
destructive distillation of it for COM
mercial uses. For all three purposes
its usefulness appears to be slight

CHAPTER n.
Second Siuht.

Southampton Water was an orna-
mental lake dotted with fairy lamps.
1t was midsummer night, tagging a
whole season behind its fellows. But
already it was so late that the English
passengers on the Kaiser Fritz had
abandoned all thought of catching the
last train to London.
They tramped the deck in their
noisy, shining, shore-going boots; they
manned the rail in lazy inarticulate
appreciation of the nocturne in blue
stippled with green and red and count
less yellow lights. But Achilles in his
tent was no more conspicuous absen-
tee than Cazalet in his cabin as the
Kaiser Fritz steamed sedately up
Southampton Water.
He had finished packing; the state
room floor was impossible with the
baggage that Cazalet had wanted on
the five-weeks' voyage. There was
scarcely room to sit down, but in what
there was sat Cazalet like a soul in
torment. All the vultures of the night
before, of his dreadful dream, and OF
the poignant "reminiscences to which
his dream had led, might have been
gnawing at his vitals as he sat there
waiting to set foot once more in the
land from which a bitter blow had
driven him.
Yet the bitterness might have been
allayed by the consciousness that he,
at any rate, had turned it to account
1t had been, indeed, the making of
him; thanks to that stern incentive,
even some of the sweets of deserved
success were already his. But there
was no hint of complacency in GAIA
let's clouded face and heavy attitude.
His face was pale, even in that tor
rid zone between the ATTITUDES protect
ed in the bush by beard and wide
awake. And he jumped to his feet as
suddenly as the screw stopped for the
first time. The same thing happened
again and yet again, as often as ever
the engines paused before the end.
CaZalet would spring up and watch his
stateroom door with clenched fists and
haunted eyes. But 1t was some long
time before the door flew open, and
then slammed behind Hilton Toye.
Toye was in a state of excitement
even more abnormal than Cazalet's
nervous dependency, which indeed 1t
prevented him from observing. 1t was
instantaneously clear that Toye was
astounded, thrilled, almost triumphant,
but as yet just drawing the line at
that. A newspaper fluttered in his
hand.
Second sight?" he calculated, as
though it were the night before and
Cazalet still shaken by his dream. 81
guess you've got it in full measure.

known studies of the music of the
American Indians. She had, at the
date of the report, completed the field
work for a large volume on Sioux
music, including SO musical transcript
tions of songs. 1t is interesting to
learn that musical composers are now
making free use of the material COL
lected by Miss Densmore. The report
mentions four songs, published by the
bureau of ethnology, which have been
adapted for orchestral purposes, and
several others that have been ar
ranged by various composers for one
or more voices, for the violin, etc.
Lastly, one composer is utilizing these
aboriginal themes in an Indian opera.
