The President himself has tried to
appropriate for his own advantage
the sentiment of America first" The
Democrats have tried to make his sup
port an act Of piety by adopting
Thank God for Wilson" as slogan.
Mr.. Hughes. with rare courage, frank.
ness and penetration, is exposing the
dimsy foundation for the claims OF
Wilsonian infa1libility. He Is laying
bare a record OF extravaganza, par
tisanship. sectionalism, incompetence,
wrongheadedness. vaccillation and In
sincerity which destroys the attempt
to make joss out Of the President
The Democrats must come out Of their
ecstatic trance and defend their stew.

A PICTURE OF HUGHES.

The New York World, which once
was outspoken in its admiration for
Mr.. Hughes now declares that the
people do not know where Hughes
stands. or what he stands for. This
Wilson organ had no such criticism
to make when Mr.. Hughes was gov.
ernor. The World said on May IL.
1910: "He dictated no nominations,
controlled no convention, tratticked In
no patronage. made no bargains with
office holders. He has rewarded no.
body for supporting him and punished
nobody for opposing him. What In
t1uence he has welded over public
opinion has come through his appeals
to the voters themselves" That is
the estimate Of Mr.. Hughes given by
the World six years ago. 1t is a
pretty fair letter Of recommendation.
Could the World say as much for
President Wilson? Hardly, for the
president has done all Of the things
from which the World absolved

: M'KlNLEY'S WAR COST LESS !
+ BLO0DSHED THAN Will, :;
!. SONS PEACE !
BY Theodore Roosevelt.

Under President Mckinley we
had a war with Spain. Under
President Wilson we are assured
that we have had peace Win
Mexico. These are the words.
Now for the deeds. During the
war with Spain fewer Americans
were killed by the Spanlaros
than have been killed by Mexl-
cans during the present peace
with Mexico. Let me repeat
this. A greater number Of Amer
leans have been killed by Mex
leans during these years, when
we are officially informed that
we have been at peace with
them. than We're killed by the
Spaniards during our entire war
with Spain. Moreover. when the
war with Spain was through. 1t
was through. But peace still con-
tinues to rage as furiously as
ever in Mexico. Nor is this all.
The instant effect Of the out
come Of the war with Spain was
to put stop to the dreadful
butchery and starvation In Cuba
and the Philippines. and the
entry Of both Cuba and the
Philippines on career OF eight
cen years Of peace and pros
perity such as they had never
known before in all their check
cred history. But during these
three years Of MIR. Wilson's
peace" the Mexicans them.
selves have been butchered by
their own bandits steadily and
without intermission: and Mex
lean women and children have
died by thousands-probably by
scores of thousands-of starva-
ton and of the diseases incident
to starvation. In other " ords. Mr..
McKinley's war cost less than
peace; and it reflected high hon
or on the American people:
whereas Mr.. Wilson's peace
has been one Of shame and dis
honor for the American people,
and one Of ruin and bloodsbed
for the MeXicans.

RESULT Of EXPERIENCES
JUDITH BASIN STATION

The results of cereal experiments
conducted at the Judith Basin Sub
station, Mocassin, Montana by the
Bureau of Plant Industry and the
Montana Agricultural Experiment
Station, are given in Department
Bulletin 1913 recently published by the
Department of Agriculture. Includ-
ed in the report are such conclusions
as seen warranted to the investiga-
tors. This substation, which has an
altitude of 4,300 feet, is located in
Fel gus County, central Montana.
The soil on which the varieties were
tested is a dark gray loan of lime
stone origin. The annual average
precipitation at Moccasin is 1886
inches; the average seasonal rain
fall, from April to July inclusive, is
GAL inches. The authors point out
that while the yields obtained at Moe
casin are not representative of all the
dry-land area, the comparative results
are believed to be applicable in gener-
al to all the dry -farming area of
Montana.
Following is brief statement of
the conclusions which seem warranted
by the results of the tests:
On the average, satisfactory yields
are obtained from winter and spring
wheat, spring oats, barley, and flax.
The best winter wheats are the
Kharkof and Turkey. These belong
to the Crimean group of hard winter
| wheats.
| The best rate to SOW winter wheat
is 3 pecks per acre. The best date to
SOW is from August 10 to September
10.
The highest yields of spring wheat
have been obtained from varieties of
durum wheat. OF these, the Pelissier
has been the best. OF the common
spring wheats the best variety to
grow appears to be the Marquis.
Spring wheats are seeded at the
rate of pecks per acre.
The best results are obtained from
sowing all spring wheat, oats, and
barley as early in the spring as soil
and climatic conditions will permit.
The highest average yield of oats
was obtained from the SixtyDay
variety. This variety averaged about
16 bushels per acre more than later
maturing varieties.
The best rate of seeding for the
small kerneled early varieties of
oats, such as the Sixty-Day, is about
pecks per acre.
The White Smyrna barley, 2
rowed bearded hulled variety, has
given the highest average yield.
The hulled varieties of barley are
seeded at the rate of S pecks and the
naked varieties at the rate of pecLs
per acre.
The highest yield of flax in s.
year test was obtained from the
Russian variety. /
1t is probable that the best results
will be obtained if flax is sown early,
between April Is and May l. The
best rate seems to be from &c tc rs
pounds per acre.
In pounds per acre, the average
yield of the White Smyrna barley is
greater than that of the best variety
of any of the other cereal crops. The
Kharkof winter wheat is second in
yield, followed by the SixtyDay oats,

Mr.. Wilson now virtually admits
that all his own ideas were wrong four
years ago. He has changed his mind
on every public question. On some
of them he has changed twice or even
three times. Even II his friends could
satisfy the public at this time he is
exactly right. what assurance could be
given that he would be right year
hence?
