POTASH MADE OF FELDsPAF.
Discovery, Il is Said, Will Enable
America to Produce All, tho
~ Amount Needed.

The, European war has brought the
United States face to- face with the
problem Of supplying it's own potash.
Several new methods of providing a
substitute for German fertilizers have
been brought to the attention OF the
government The most promising OF
these is that patented by Canadian,
which provides for the extracting Of
potash from ordinary feldspar. The
feldspar is heated with limestone and
iron oxide at temperature OF about
1900 degrees Fahrenheit, which pro
duces partly fused mass that is cas-.
lily deco-nposed by weak acid. From
this product the potash salts can be
readily extracted for further purifica'
ton. ~ H:& al ~r e.
Another method of obtaining potash
will be tried out at New Orleans dis
tillery where molasses is used in large
quantities. In the distilleries where
molasses is fermented it is said that
more than one hundred and six tons OF
potash is wasted daily, and is it this
waste the New Orleans company is en-
deavoring to forestall. 1t is possible
to make fertilizer from this otherwise
worthless material at a price that will
meet competition even after the wan
is over. .nrsfts ..s!..a

:, rNTEREST WANING.


: Illinois women made a plucky fight
for the ballot. but since they won
equal suffrage, the numbers eXercis-
ing the privilege are decreasing with
each election.
The Chicago Tribune in its news
columns. makes this very significant
comment:
THE 1916 vote of women is several
thousand less than the election of
two years ago. which would seem TO
indicate the women may have tired,
somewhat, Of their opportunities at
the polls. With sc per cent of the
registered women voting last spring,
scarcely 30 per cent of them voted
this year.
Chlcago'S experience is that OF
every large or small city where the
women are allowed to vote. Indif-
ference follows the granting of the
privilege chiefly because the women
realize that their votes seldom
change the results. When convinced
that they can exert the same influ.
ence at home upon the male voter
that they WELD at the ballot box, like
intelligent beings they select the
easiest way to get results.
II was ever thus.

IA FOLLETTE'S DEFEAT.

Wisconsin is tired of Senator La
Toilette. The nation is weary of his
demagogic attacks. North Dakota
merely endorsed him because there
was nothing else to do. 1t was a
case of Hobsons choice.
The senior senator's defeat in the
badger state merely indicates that
the pendulum is swing back. 1t al
ways does. The law of compensa.
tons seems to hold good in politics.
Extreme action is followed by reac.
ton. Each thesis has it's antithesis.
Retribution usually arrives, however
harassing the delays.
La Toilette has played his political
string. Wisconsin turned upon him
in no uncertain way and voiced a
vigorous protest against his arrogant
political dictatorship. It is, easy to
fool some of the voters al of the
time, but not all of the voters all
of the time. Political organizations
built merely upon famboyant protes.
tations of honesty cannot last.

MRS. EVARTS ENDORSED.

Clubs, church societies and the wo,
men in general. have endorsed MRS.
Nellie Evarts for the library board.
She is engaged in educational work
and swell qualified for the position.
The school board probably will heed
the recommendation of the intuen-

Some medical facts concerning the

The hot bath facilitates and stimu.

The cold bath is not sufficiently

POLITICAL PLATFORMS.

This is the open season for polt-
cal platforms.
The first thing candidate does, is
TO draw up a platform. 1t makes no
difference whether the office he as
pires to can bring about the mlleni
nm or not, he unfurls his banners
to the skies and sets out upon the I'M
chartered seas Of politics.
People are caring less and less for
political promises
They are trying to sift the chaff
and find whether the candidate is
qualified for the position he seeks.
What difference does it make to
the average voter, for instance, Whe-
Their a candidate for state treasurer
is for womans suffrage or against
it. Who cares particularly whether
an aspirant for secretary of state is
for terminal elevators, the eradica
cation of hoOf and mouth disease or
the suppression of pip. He might
hold that Office until the crack OF
doom and be powcrless to realize on
his convictions.
Candidates for legislative and con-
gressonal positions are privileged to
define their attitude upon public ques-
tons, but what necessity is there for
men aspiring to purely executive pO-
siions TO burden themselves with fiji
ty-seven varieties of political nos
trumS?
The primary system is responsible.
A candidate is like a fisher
man, he believes in being we'll
supplied with bait. 1t makes little
difference to him whether he can de-
liver the goods if he lands the job.
1t would be refreshing to meet an
otllce-seeker without a platform. The
voters would welcome one who sim
ply stands for an economical and bus
mess administration of the office he
seeks.
We have before us a platform is.
sued by a candidate for an office, the
duties of which are outlined by sta
tute. 1t contains thirteen planks
beginning with the paramount issue"
of government "by the people and
for the people" Then comes state
rights whatever they may be) and
control Of big business within the
state.
Then follows the stock planks:
Prohibition, Good Roads, Terminal
Elevators, Woman's Suffrage, Devel-
opment of the Ignite Industry. Equi-
table Taxation. Aid for Rural Schools
and State Grain Inspection.
II the voters elect this man, he
will not be able to indicate to them
through his official acts whether he
is for or against any of these. He
aspires to one of the executive posi-
tons. the administration of whose af-
fairs cannot shape in the slightest
manner, any of the policies he adj
vances.
Aspiring for Office on the strength
of such buncombe. disjusts the voters
who have long since learned to lean
