Gates Auain, Why?

The fairly constant mention of the
name of Governor Charles W. Gates
as possible candidate for re-nomina-
ton inspires the query: Why?
1t is not denied that the incumbent
of the Office has made a fairly good
governor. 1t is certain that he has
succeeded in steering a most saga
cious course of compromise through
some fairly acute state crises. 1t is
further conceded that he is popular,
of high personal character and pos
sessed of a special knowledge of
highway matters.
Comparing Governor Gates with
past governors of a decade or so,
one might say that he resembles
Charles ]. Bell in many respects, but
has never been put to the test in
anything SO widely pulsed as the
Mary Rogers case,
He has not the ability and courage
characteristic of Fletcher d. Proctor
but has much of his diplomacy in
handling men, lacking, however, the
directness and force OF the latter. He
has not a successful business career
behind him, like George II, Prouty
and John Abner Mead and lacks the
personality of John G, Mccullough.
Where William W. Stickney and Al
len Nj. Fletcher were austere and
prone to make enemies by uncompro-
missing convictions, Governor Gates
has an agreeable way of avoiding con
troversial issues or passing the
buck to some one else.
In another two years he might very
likely master the broader phases of
state problems which now receive lit
tie of his attention. but one would
hardly expect him to be leader in
the various developments of the pub
lie business which are certain to con
front another legislature.

TEST FOR SOIL AClDITY.
Wisconsin Experiment Station De-
scrbes a New Method.

Wisconsin Experiment Station De-
scrbes a New Method.
The Wisconsin experiment station
has recently issued bulletin describ.
ing a new method of testing the acid
ity of soil. In this bulletin, written by
Professor Il. Troug, several tests used
for determining the acidity of the soil
are described as well as the new test.
Ii is claimed by the author that the
new test for soil acidity is more re-
liable, measuring, to a certain extent,
the degree of acidity and indicating
in n general way the amount of lime
needed per acre to make the soil sweet.
The principle of the test as described
in the bulletin is as follows: When
zinc sulphide, white. flourlike sub
stance, comes in contact with an acid
gas is formed which can be detected
by the use of lead acetate paper. In
similar manner the acid in soils
causes a formation of this gas which
is similarly detected
The apparatus for making soil tests
by this method is simple and looks ~
though it would be Il very effective
way for the farmer 10 determine
whether the soil needs lime and the
approximate amount Of lime. The
use of lime to correct the acidity OF
the soil is coming more generally into
use as year succeeds year, IL has been
proved beyond doubt that alfalfa and
elover--in fact, all kinds Of legumes-
will not do well upon an acid soil.
{ Various methods have been used TO
determine whether the soil is acid or
/, not in the laboratory, but 10 get some
practical, reliable test that the farmer
can use without requiring TOO much
time has taken some Years. Blue III
mus paper has been used and, ON the
whole, is quite a satisfactory test, but
when inserted into the soil it may turn
red from Other causes than. from the
acid in the soil. There is more or less
carbonic acid in all soils, and when
this comes in contact with blue lltmus
paper II turns red, yet the soil IS not
acid in the sense the term is used and
may have an abundance of lime. Tho
perspiration on persons finger very
often reddens the paper, and unless
care is taken in testing soils with lit
mus paper results are apt to be mis-
leading
The muriatic acid test determines
not so much whether the soil is acid.
but whether it contains any carbonate
of lime. This has proved Il very sat
isfactory test, but is not as reliable as
could he desired.
The new acid test for determining
The acidiry of soils recently conducted
by the Wisconsin experiment station
seems to overcome all the difficulty Of
the other tests and indicates positively
whether the soil is acid and also about
how much lime will he required TO
sweeten the soil. Farmers can well
afford to give this subject their atten
ton and determine whether their soil
Is acid or not

MAY SHORTEN FARE LIMITS

The petition of tne Berkshire
Street Railway company for an in
crease in trolley fares having, appar
emily, met with the disapproval of
the public service commission in Bos-
ton, steps are now under way, it is
understood, for shortening the fare
limits on the various lines in this Sec
ton, leading TO Bennington, Pittsfield
and Williamstown.
The plan, originally, was to in
crease the usual five cents fares to
six cents. The matter was subse-
quently dropped in favor Of the in

the company. r.,.e.,-1
The trouble which the company
faces is rather complex, but at the
same time it is said to be serious.
And to make things worse the difticul
ties are steadily becoming more of a
menace. On top of the fact that the
company is heavily over capitalized
comes the jitney. the shortening Of
the hours of labor, the increased cost
in operation and other problems of
similar nature.
In the last fiscal year. the Berk.
shire company lost $l1S,090 which
amount was s45,5S5 mere than in

ton, the opening of the new $500

pletion, affords little promise of re-
lieving matters .SA

ARMENIAN mAssAcREs
American Committee Says It is
Worse Than Told. I

New York, Oct. 4.-The Committee
on Armenian Atrocities. a body of
eminent Americans which for weeks
has been investigating the situation
in Turkish Armenia, issued, yester-
day, detailed report of that investi-
CATION, in which it is asserted that in
cruelty and in horror nothing i'll the
past thousand years has equalled the
present prosecutions of the Armenian
people by the Turks. The committee
adds that the sources of its informa-
ton are ''unquestioned as to veraci-
ty and authority of the writer's
The data on which the report is
based were gathered from all parts
of the Turkish Empire.
The report tells of children Under
10 years of age thrown into the kup-
hrates to be drowned; of women fore
ed to desert infants in arms and to
leave them by the road to die; of
young women and girls appropriated
by the Turks, thrown into harems, at
tackled, or else sold TO the highest
bidder, and of men murdered and tor
tured. Everything that an Armenian
possesses. even to the clothes on
his back, are stolen by his persecut
ors. The report says the use OF the
bastinado has been revived, high dig
nitaries of the church have been
hanged, families scattered to the four
winds and thousands upon thousands
of defenseless, miserable persons
herded together like cattle ard triv-
en- into the desert lands of the en-
pire, there to starve and die.
