THE PUBLIC FORUM
WILSON AND SOCIALISTS.-H
grieVed me very much to learn of
your position in regard to the. presi-
Dental campaign, now at its heighth.
Throughout the year The Day
Book is posing as a semi-sociaGstic
newspaper, but when the time came,
when it could have done the most
good for the Socialist party, and in
cidentalIy for the workers, it turned
to the Democratic party.
The platforms of the Democratic
and Republican parties are almost
identical, and no matter for which of
the abOVe-named parties a working
man votes, he gains nothing. So why
don't you advise the workers to vote
for their own candidate, as they have
nothing to lose and a great deal to
gain.
If the people would take your adj
vice and vote for Mr.. Wilson, there
wouldn't be any votes cast for the
Socialist candidate, and the party
would die. But if the Socialists
double their vote of the last election
it will show Wall street parties that
the Socialist movement is to be reck-
oned with, and in trying to head off
the growth of the party they will
pass favorable laws and concede dis
putes to the wage-earners. While it
is certain that things will happen as
l have described, it is also apparent
that if the Socialist party is allowed
to die the workers will be still more
exploited than they are now.-Harry

PARkE LOST THE MATCH.
To HE Glory He Put Honor Above His
lntonas pssire 60 Win.

To His Glory He Put Honor Above He
intsnes Desire 20 Win.
During one of the Davis cup ten
mis- matches an incident occurred
that admirably illustrates the spirit
Of workmanship that puts honor
above any desire to win, however
great. \
England and Australia we're play
ing against each other for the priv
lege Of challenging America. OF
course the great match, the match
upon which every one was fixing his
attention, was the game of singles
between the English captain, Parke,
and the Australian captain, Brookes.
The two players were very evenly
matched. Each won two sets. The
outcome of the fifth set would de-
eide the match. The attention Of
the onlookers grew tense. At the
end Of eight games Parke had won
five to Brookes' three. If the Eng
lish captain could win one more
game the set and the match would
be his. The score of the game went
to 40-15. Parke had only to make
one more point to take the game,
the set and the match. The spec
tators hardly dared to breathe.
Brookes sent a slow ball close to
the net. Parke ran in rapidly, re-
turned the ball and made the point.
The umpire gave him game, set and
match. The spectators had begun
to cheer when they saw Parke throw
up his hand and turn to the UNI
pire.
"My racket touched the net on
that return" he said.
No one had seen him touch the
net-not Brookes, not the umpire,
not a single spectator. OF course
the umpire then. gave the point
to Brookes, which made the score
1870. After that Brookes ran
the score up to deuce, and in a few
minutes more won the game.
That game proved to be the turn
ing point. Parke never got back
his lead. Brookes won three more
games, which gave him the set and
the match. And the English cap
tain, instead of being proclaimed
victor of a match that he had cross
ed the sea to play, walked off a
beaten man-beaten, but neverthe-
less victorious.
Long after the memory of the
brilliant. strokes and the exciting
rallies Of that hard fought match
has faded from the minds of those
who watched. and cheered, the mem
DRY of that incident at the net will
linger and exert its influence for
honor and fair play.-Youth's Com
panion.

Our Day.

Today is your daysand mine, the
only day we have, the day in which
play our part. What our part
may signify in the great whole we
may not understand, but we are
here to play it, and now is our time.
This we know. It is q part of ac-
ton, not of whining. It is a part Of
love, not cynicism. It is for US to
express love in terms of human
helpfulness. This we know, for we
have learned from sad experience
that any other source Of life leads
toward decay and waste. - David

SOIL FERTILIZERS.
Keys That Unlock the Fertility of the
Land

Keys That Unlock the Fertility Of the
Land.
Lime aids nitrification and liberates
plant food from insoiuble forms Of
combination. Heavy clays which are
rich in insoluble forms of potash and
soils containing large quantities Of
humus are benefited by the use Of
lime, the key that unlocks the fertility
Of the soil. Sour soils are neutralized
by the action Of lime. Where moss and
sour grass grow the soil is almost GER
tain to be sour, requiring a liberal ap-
plication of lime
1t is generally supposed that lime is
lime-that is, that one lime is as good
as another-which Is not the case for
fertilizing purposes. Lime from one
section might be cheaper at 81 ton
than lime from another section at So
ton, considering the results that
would be produced.
Before purchasing lime in large
quantities it is good plan to obtain
samples, label each sample carefully
and send them to the state agricultural
experiment station for analysis.
Nitrate of soda is the most impor-
tant purely heterogeneous fertilizer: also
sulphate Of ammonia and dried blood
from cattle, which is saved and dried
at the abattoirs. Calcium cyanamide
has recently been introduced and is the
first successful attempt at gathering
nitrogen directly from the atmosphere
for commercial use. Experiments in
dictate it to be about equal in value to
nitrate of soda, but slower in its &C.
ton.
Muriate of potash and sulphate of
potash are the two most important
potash fertilizers. The potash in both
forms is soluble and Immediately avail
able as plant food. Wood ashes con-
tain soluble potash, and it is in good
| form of combination.
The most important phosphate fer
tilizers are the ground rock phosphates
and the superphosphates made from
them.

WAR lS-INEVITABLE

The Hughes Campaign shows no
signs of improvement. The Wifi
cation of President Wilson is the
chief factor. The Daily already re-
ferred to has however, the follow
ing to offer:
If Hughes is elected violation of
our rights will cease, for the world
will know that the American people
have spoken, that our rights must
be respected.
The election of Hughes will be a
sterner warning to the nations of
the world than any of Wilson S
firm" notes have-it will be a
warning from the people of the
United States that we stand ready
to uphold at any cost the honor of
our country.
Here is the other picture:
If Wilson is reelected the nations
of Europe will continue to violate
our rights with lmpunity, and we
shall go from crisis to crisis until
we are inevitably plunged. unpre-
pared, into war.
1t seems to be war in either case.
But it is notable fact that if Will
son had not been at the helm guild
ing the ship of state, this nation
would long ago have been plunged
into war as defined by Sherman and
this, too, wholly "unprepared. "
"He kept us out of war;" It's a
great slogan, isn't it?

CORNSTALK DISEASES.
Rotation Of Corn Advocated by Iowa
Experiment Station,

Rotation Of Corn Advocated by Iowa
Experiment. Station.
Diseases Of cornstalks and roots cost
Iowa millions annually. That is the rea-
son the Iowa experiment station recent
~ published n bulletin on cornstalks
and corn root disease. The station dis
covered a new disease which is char
acterized by falling of corn where the
stalks were broken close to the joints.
Such plants contained only small ears
or they were barren. When q farmers
attention was called to this condition
the statement was usually made that
the stalks were blown over by the
wind or that the trouble was caused by
the corn root louise or corn root worm
The disease attacks roots, stalks and
the ears. 1t has not been determined
whether all of these diseases are
caused by the same organism or not
In many fields the corn was broken off
just below or above the joint. The
pith or soft material In the cornstalks
was destroyed and was brownish or in
some cases reddish In color. The fibers
We're soft and easily broken off. The
station discovered three kinds Of
molds attacking the kernels, husks and
cobs.
The only rational treatment is rota-
ton of corn. Corn should never follow
corn where this disease exists, since
the fungus remains where the corn is
planted in the same field the next year.
Young plants will become infected. 1t
Is wise plan to treat corn with forma-
lin at the rate of one pint to forty five
gallons Of water for fifteen minutes.
The Iowa station received numerous
complaints last year in regard to a
disease in cattle which goes under the
name Of cornstalk disease, or forage
poisoning. 1t was so severe that some
veterinarians advised not to feed corn
stalks. While it is not known that the
fungus here described is connected
with this disease in cattle, due to feed
ing on moldy corn and fodder, there
are good grounds for believing that
these 'molds are toxic.

SAVE THE SQUASH VINES.
Bugs Should Be Trapped and Their
EGGS DESTROYED,


Save squash vines by trapping the
adult squash bugs and by destroying
the eggs, advises George A. Dean, pro-
fessor of entomology in the Kansas
State Agricultural college.
The eggs which are easily seen
should be picked off and destroyed,
points out Professor Dean. The adults
cannot be killed by insecticides, but
the nymphs may be destroyed by
spraying, with kerosene emulsion. The
adult bugs may readily be trapped by
placing small pieces of boards OF SIM
liar shelter near the vines, under which
they may be gathered in the early
morning.
Clean up the squash vines in the
fall and reduce the squash bug for the
coming year." is the recommendation
of Professor Dean. In the early sum-
mer the females deposit their eggs
mostly on the underside of the leaves.
They are oval, about one-siXteenth Of
an inch long and laid in clusters.
When newly laid they are pale yellow
brown, but later change to a darker
shade, so the stage of their develop
menr may be told by their color. The
eggs hatch in from six to fifteen days,
depending upon the temperature.
The young nymphs are brilliantly
colored, the antennae and legs being
bright crimson, the head and anterior
thorax lighter crimson and the pos
terror thorax and abdomen a bright
green. Soon, however, the crimson
changes to jet black. The young
bugs suck the Juice from the foliage
and soon cause the leaves to wither.

Tomato Worm Control.

The proper method of tomato worm
control in small patches is hand pick
ing and in larger gardens or fields use
of lead arsenate spray or paris green,
according to George A. Dean. professor
of entomology In the Kansas State Ag-
ricultural college.
when spraying with arsenate of
lead use two and one-half pounds of
dry material to fifty gallons of water"
advises Professor Dean. One pound of
fresh stone lime should be used with
every pound of paris green to prevent
burning of the foliage. The paris green
spray should be used with care.

THE ELECTIVE FRANCHISE

Political matters are warming up
in the state. The farcical primary
has been held and now for the
election. The voters can console
themselves with the fact that the
state tickets are not what they
ought to be but they might be
worse.
In the county we have a fine lot
of men to chose from. Both tickets
have serious defects but he who
votes blindly in local affairs. he
who selects men to transact the
business of the county because he is
a Republican or Democrat, is not
qualified to exercise the right of
franchise.
The government of the county is
purely business proposition and
party utilization does not qualify or
disqualify a man for the perform
ance of any official duties that may
devolve upon him. Select wisely SO
that Latah county can point with
pride to her official family. The
material is before you and upon
you rests sacred duty when you
approach the ballot box.
There is much depending upon
our legislature in the coming
session. Some of the most serious
questions will demand answers and
none more insistent than "the short
ballot" Conditions cannot contin-
ue as they are. The state needs a
more efficient service and the legis-
lature must see to it that it is
forth coming. Send broadminded
men to the legislature and be sure
to keep the pretty CRATER at home.
1t often happens that legislators
vote has no market value but don't
take chances. 1t has too often
turned the scale of important legis-
lation.

THE STATE CENTRAL COMMIT
TEES

Last week the above named COM
mittees met in Boise. The gather
ings were in no sense notable.
There were several parts of the pol
itical machinery that were badly
creaking but aside from applying
oil here and there and wrecking
one machine little was done.
The Republicans found their cam
paign tagging. There was no GIN
ger issuing from the Secretary's
office. In fact Secretary Elmer,
one of the very best posted men in
the state, was politically discourage
ed. He felt that he was rolling a
stone up hill. To relieve the fric-
ton here Elmer was appointed
publicity manager for which he is
eminently qualified and another
equally good man. w. c. Gregory,
was put into the Secretary's Office.
The Committeeman went home feel
ing sad but confident.
The Democrats found that their
political machine was beyond re-
pair. New parts were needed.
The old machine had been running
for fourteen years and it was evil
dent that the master wheel needed
replacing and this was done. Judge
Pence, the dictator of his party for
years, was at last repudiated and
DR.. W. R. Hamilton installed in his
place. The Pence-Elder machine
came out of the fray total wreck.
DIR. Hamilton is Weiser man
reputable gentleman. He will in
spire confidence from the beginning
something the old machine failed
to do. Whether this lack of con-
fidence in Pence and Elder was
justified is debatable, but the fact
existed and new deal made neces-
sary.

papers says editorially:
We are at peace. but it is a pre-
carious peace, for all the basic prin-
ciples of international law have
been destroyed during the last few
years. We are like man living in
