INDOMITABLE KERENSkY

II ERGNSKI. from the moment of his
IA; first appearance in the revolution,
seemed to bear Il charmed life. along with
his great courage and rcsourcefulness.
The man who laughed and still went
without a bodyguard when he was told
that several hundred German spies were
in PetroCrad, seeking a chance to do
away with him, was not likely to give up
hope when he was forced to flee from
the capital. That he should have been
able to rally about him II large body Of
loyal troops is not surprising when we
remember the many tales of his electric
energy and magnetism. on his first dash
to the front last summer he, by sheer
force of will, compelled badly armed men
to stand up and fight the well-eGuipped
German troops.
The Russian revolution has scarcely
begun, although months ago men talked
as if it were completed, From the five
year struggle which the French Revoiu
ton had to make before it could produce
stable conditions. the world should have
learned not to expect order to follow
promptly upon the downfall of the Car
in the Vendee while fighting outside foes
at the frontier. does not seem likely in
Russia because of the dsorganization
and smalness in numbers of the anar-
chist element. What has stood in Ker-
ensky's way has been his inability to
enforce discipline because of the opposi-
ton TO capital punishment. The latest
revolt should have proved to Russians
the need for drastic repressive measures.
If Kerensky succeeds in stopping peace
agitation he may at least through the
very uncertainty of the outcome, compel
the Germans to keep men on the eastern
front. For his present efforts force the
Germans still tn ask themselves May
not Kenersky prove to be that modern
Peter the Hermit whose voice has the
magic that will make men fight?"
Whether he fails or succeeds this
leader frail of body and mighty Of soul,
is as an individual an inspiration to all
men of the Allied nations. Scornful of
danger. he is on joking terms with death.
and that is the spirit that brings final
victory

less, IL the pot experiments are to be
considered as a criterion.
The root systems of wheat and Jap
anese millet are sufficiently well de-
veloped so that these plants should have
been much more able to have obtained
the potassium of fedspar than many of
the quick-growing market crops.
The farmer cannot afford to expert
ment with finely ground feldspathic rock
until there are better prospects of sue
cess than are discernibe at present.
1t should be borne in mind that these
tests which were made at the Rhode Island
Agricultural Experiment Station were with
soils from which the potash had been ex-
hausted by many years of successive crop
ping without the use of any potash what
soever, and the soil was known to be highly
deficient in available potash. An optimum
amount of water was also maintained in the
pots, thus creating a condition far more
likely to make the potash available than
those existing in the field.
1t appears that the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture began some field ex-
periments with potash in Connecticut, but
on land not known to need potash and
which may not have been at all deficient in
1t. Owing to some cause or other these ex-
periments were never continued and Doctor
Cushman, in commenting on them, said !:
Although 1t is admitted that these expert
ments have not as yet proved the value of
ground feldspar for tobacco, II is quite cer-
tain that the experimental crops found all
the potash they required" No doubt they
did, but they may readily have secured il
all from the soil, In fact, in the conclusion
of Doctor Cushmans article he says "A
careful reading of the foregoing pages will
show that no claim has been made that
ground feldspar is an efficient substitute,
under all circumstances, for potash salts
At the present stage of the investigation It
would be extremely unwise for any one to
attempt to use ground rock, except on an
experimental scale that would not entail
great financial loss"
Thus 1t will be seen that there Is no
sound basis whatsoever for the conclusion
on the part of Mr.. Johnston that the potash
OF finely ground feldspar is as available for
plant food as that in the commercial potash
salts. II. J. WHEEL ER

The history of the New York campaign
is one of the reasons why there will he
no stopping the woman suffragists. The
story of the womens battle in that State
is written around the life of that grand old
woman after whom the Federal bill has
been named, Susan B. Anthony, and the two
women in New York today who are the out
standing figures of the victory were body
guards of Miss Anthony when, old but
indomitable, she still fought on. They are
the Rev DR.. Anna Howard Shaw and Mrs.
Carrie Chapman Gait.
There was no sacrifice that Susan b..
Anthony and the women she had gathered
around her would not and did not make for
the advancement of the cause of women. and
her spirit animated the women whose work
is responsible for the triumph in New
York.
The reading of the report of those early
conventions which, despite opposition and
persecution, were held annually in Seneca
Falls syracuse. Rochester, Saratoga, and
later in the famous old Broadway Taber-
nacle in New York city, brings tears to the
eyes and a lump to the throat.
