ACID SOILS

Some plants do not grow on acid
or neutral soils as we'll as on alkaline
soils, while some plants prefer acid
sois. Sour soils occur more often in
humid than in arid regions. They al
so occur more frequently in poorly
drained than in well drained places.
Acidity may be caused by free &C.
ids, or may be due to lack of bases.
This last ought to be called a neutral
soil but since plants usually grow
equally well on acid and poor soil, we
use but the one term--acid soil.
A number of things will cause
soil to become acid. Large amounts
of lime are removed in the drainage
water. The decay of organic mat
ter causes much carbon dioxide and
nitric acid to be formed. Growing
plants recover the nitric acid but the
carbon dioxide and other bases are
largely lost. In our latitude the de-
cay of organic matter continues near
ly throughout the entire year. AS
this decay is more rapid near the sur
face, we find the surface soil more
sour than the sub-soil.
Growing plants use more lime and
other bases than they do acids. In
ordinary farming where the entire
crop is removed, this is quite a fac
tor in forming acid soils, blowing I'M
der of green manure, while not chang
ing the total amount of acid or basic
products in the soil, does, for time,
make soils more sour by the union Of
the organic acids with such basic ma
terial as was already present in the
soil.
The continued use of such fertili-
zers as acid phosphate and amonium
sulphate, add to the acidity of the
soil. Soils derived from limestone are
not usually acid, but many such soils
and soils underlaid with limestone
are often benefited by the use of
lime.
In future article we will discuss
the plants adapted to both acid and
soils.

The Man and the
Hour is at Hand

Mr.. Editor: / have just read Mr..
Robert Holmes last statement con-
corning the financial transactions and
manipulations of the Doe Run and
st. Joe Lead Companies. If Mr..
Holmes statements and allegations
are true (and we believe they are)
there is certainly something "rotten
in Denmark" with reference to the
management Of these companies.
Judging from the stand taken by Mr..
Holmes, ordinary business self-re-
spect will not per NIT him longer to
defere to the arrogant assumptions Of
those whose financial policies leaves
the treasury of those companies UNI
armed, unguarded and implicated.
After the rank incompetence by the
present management of those com
panies that they should still insist on
holding the reins of authority is the
very impudence of arrogant audacity.
Mr.. Holmes now insists that the af-
fairs of those companies of which he
is a large stakeholder, be conducted
according to the ordinary rules of
business and in the interest of ALL
the stockholders of said companies.
In spite of Confucius and Buddha,
of Socrates in prison, of Jesus of Naz-
areth on the cross, power is still ar
rogant, greed is still impudent and
talent is still selfish.
Robert Holmes stands as the cham
pion of the stockholders of those two
companies. Stands as it were upon
the mountain, cries aloud and spares
not.
The Roman Ambassador stood be-
fore the Parthaginian Senate and
said: 81 hold peace and war in the
folds of my toga. Which shall
shake out to your" The Carthaginians
cried, "war, war;" and they were
swept from the earth
Missouri and the West has given
to these companies man sprung from
Missouri soil, inspired by the highest
motives, loved by his neighbors and
respected by all who know him. He
is, by ancestry, birth, education and
experience, instinctively and distinc-
lively Missourian, the very flower
of the "show me" States young bus
mess men.
The hour has come, the man has
been found worthy and willing to stand
by the stockholders of those two COM
panies; he is typical product of our
Western civilization.
Strength be to the arm of this cour-
ageous and gifted young Joshua, who
has commanded the sun to stand still
while he fights the battles of right
and justice.

would have smashed that apathy to
fragments. From the time when the
first carload of delegates lined up at
Baltimore bar there was one name
on every lip, name mentioned with
hate, fear, admiration, wonder, but
never with Indifference Theodore
Roosevelt. Barnes and his lieutenants
determined that that name should new
er be mentioned except in whispers,
and they had their way; but they could
not prevent the shadow of Roosevelt
from lying heavy on the convention.
The net result Of the convention to
participants and impartial observers
was disappointment. The popular in
depreciation of the platform adoted
was that the Republican party con-
demned President Wilson for not GO
ing to war with Germany; yet every
body knew that the men who framed
the platform had as much idea of de-
claring war on Germany as they had
of declaring war on Timbuctoo. The
truth is that the men who engineered
the convention were about as much
interested in national problems, from
any point of view of craftsmanship,
as they were in the transit of Venus,
and knew about as much of one as of
the other. They were petty politi-
clans, playing petty game in a pet
ty way, and they have merely empha-
sized the unanswered question, what
have the Republicans as a party to
offer as an alternative to the policies
of Wilson?

THE INSIDE OF
A CONVENTION
From the New RepubIicl


Modern American politics has sell
dom offered more complete exam
pie of the subversion Of the ideals of
Democratic government than has just
been afforded by the New York State
Republican Convention. The Con-
vention, officially labelled as "unofii-
cial," was of course nothing of the
kind. In intent and in effect it tore
into shreds the far-famed primary
law, but the voting sheep who will
go to the polls in April will be no
more blindly subservient to the will
of the machine leaders than were the
majority of the S32 delegates who
gathered to the unofficial" conven-
ton in Carnegie Hall.
From the outset there was but one
question at issue, and about 800 of the
delegates had as much to do with the
settling of that question as the Rajah
of Swat. The question was decided
by handful of men who gathered in
a stuffy little room in the headquar-
tiers of the Republican State Commit
tee, and another handful who held a
secret conclave in the Republican
Club. The question was simply this:
was William Barnes, Jr., to maintain
his grip on the party machinery in
the State, or was control to pass to
Governor Charles S. Whitman? This
major issue involved several others
Of more or less Importance, such as
Mr.. Barnes determination to crush
any incipient sentiment in favor of
Theodore Roosevent, and Governor
Whitman's feverish efforts to pre-
vent a complete blight descending on
his Presidential aspirations; but the
one big thing at stake was the per-
sonal fortunes of Mr.. Barnes.
In the tobacco-laden atmosphere
of the state committee rooms about
twenty political reporters lounged on
the morning of the decisive day. They
occupied strategic position between
the little room where the fate of the
delegates to the national convention
was being decided, and that other room
where a committee on resolutions was
trying to decide whether Governor
Whitman should be slain fortnight
or just politically mutilated. The
majority of the twenty reporters were
veterans of many political conventions
and they shared no illusions. About
noon younger and less sophisticated
rushed in with the news that
the convention had been called to or

Carnegie Hall imagining they were
taking part in the solemn deliberations
of great party in great state were
in fact mere rubber stamps, who in
due time would, and did endorse the
decisions of the handful in the two
little rooms without even clear idea
of what they were endorsing. Every
newspaper Office in New York knew
a week before the convention opened
just about what would be done. There
was some difference of opinion as to
the amount of strength Governor
Whitman could muster and to what eX-
tent he was to be mangled by the
Barnes machine, but there was never
any doubt as to the purpose and mean
ing of the convention.
Mr.. Barnes laid his plans with all
the skill in practical politics for
which he is noted. The first step,
taken far in advance, was to have the
representation to the convention bas-
ed on senatorial districts instead of
congressional districts. The greater
the number of districts the smoother
the operation of the machine. From
each of the fifty-one senatorial dis
tricts one delegate was selected to
sit on the committee on resolutions
and one on the committee on national
delegates. These two committees
constituted the real convention and
were in turn governed by sub-com-
mittees of seven. When the machine
was thoroughly oiled Mr.. Barnes NOV
ed into action. II am in complete
control of the situation" he announc-
ed with that indifference to the nice
ties Of political hypocricy which has
always characterized him.
There was one slight hitch at the
outset. Elihu Root, Mr.. Barnes
stalking-horse to prevent any chance
of an instructed delegation for either
Hughes or Whitman, did an almost in
credible thing. In his Keynote"
speech he had had the horrific stu
pidity to introduce Roosevent's name
in a manner that could not be con-
strued as other than complimentary.
Fortunately this outrage was discov-
cred in time, and the amenable Mr..
Root carefully skipped the passage
when he came to deliver his exordium.
AS far as the speech itself went, it.
certainly left the delegates and the
audience in the galleries unmoved. 1t
is true that one of the delegates,
German saloon keeper from Brooklyn,
objected strenuously if privately to
the criticism of Germany's dealings
with Belgium, but the majority re-
manned listless before the wrongs of
the crimes of Germany and
the Democrats, and refused to get ex-
cited even over the tariff. Every time
honored trick to arouse enthusiasm
and failed. Mr.. Root en-
he proper words, halted at
T. moments; the venerable
u..~e--- nth the white beard, waved
his arms and exercised his shrill fall |
setto promptly on his cue; the plat
form was quick to give leads to the
pit; and all to no avail.
The answer to the apathy which
was supplied by the press table was:
They don't want Root" The corol-
airy, "Whom do they want?" was not
30 easy to answer, but there was no
question as to the one name that

nose. He was in the town one day,

of the shop windows.
Whilst admiring some ties in GER
tain window and considering whether
he should speculate or not, little girl
came out of the establishment, looked
up at him, hesitated a moment, and
finally caught him by the sleeve.
