DEPARTMENT IS READY
TO EXAMINE SEED GRAIN
BotIsy Calls Attention OF County
Commissioners to Importance
OF Tests.

Under an act passed and approved
March !, 1909. counties are authOriZ-
ed TO issue bonds and the county
commissioners are authorized under
the act to purchase seed grain I'M
der contract to deliver to farmers for
use as seed grain for sowing pur-
pOses-the counties to be reimbursed
through a lien on the land or crop.
On account of the shortage of
various sorts of seed grain in a num-
Der OF the counties of the state, IL is
possible the county commissioners
Will need TO exercise this authority
this year.
The farmers who know they will
need the seed grain and need TO have
the county help, and the county COM
missioners who know that they will
have to buy grain 10 furnish to the
farmers should be forehanded. In
previous years certain county COM
missioneTs have made contracts for
the delivery of grain and had the
grain delivered on the ground too
late TO. allow OF any opportunity to
ascertain whether the contract was
or was not properly met.
Such grain bought by the county
and sold TO the farm
ers should be carefully tested as TO
its viability and purity before pur-
chase. The contract for the delivery
OF the grain should be made return
able sufficiently early to allow of in
spectiOn and Tetest before delivery
Of the seed TO the farmers.
The pure seed laboratory Is estab-
Iished by the state for the purpose of
giving information as to the quality
Of seed for sowing purposes. As state
seed commissioner, call attention
Of county commissioners and other
parties interested TO the fact that
1t the pure seed laboratory we will
be glad TO examine samples for any
parties who expect TO offer their
seed to county commissioners under
contract. Will also be glad to receive
from the county commissioners or
farmers authentic samples Of any
such seed as is offered or sold to
hem, and will report as promptly as
possible.

We have reason to be thankful

in His world. Some have ruled Him

are willing to admit that God was

that he set the machinery of the uni
verse in motion, but how much He
has to do with ii now, is a question
they are not willing to answer. It
may not be an easy question to an
swer, but the answer must be found
otherwise than to assert that he is
not In His world. Some have ruled
Him out because, having seen with
their own eyes this brutality and the
attrocity and having felt the convui-
sions Of the earth through the
shocks of the explosing shells, be-
gin to believe that God is dead.

Al Banks Get Notification.
All Of the banks Of the state are

Political Suicide

Amid all who suffered by yesterdays re
suit it would be difficult to imagine any
one more completely self-exposed than
William NJ. Bennett. To crafty a per-
sonal grudge and satisfy an inordlnate
selfish ambition, he chose to divide his
partys vote and to sacrifice the political
organization to which he belonged in the
eyes of decent men and loyal citizens.
Mr.. Bennett has had his way. The Re-
publican party has presented a divided
front in the presence of the common
enemy, but not all the emphasis upon reg
ularity, nor all the torrents Of abuse and
vituperation which Mr.. Bennett has made
use of in his campaign have brought him
votes enough to make even respectable
representation in the rollcall of candidates
He has captured the votes Of that minor
fraction of the Republican party which
put regularity before civic or national pa
triotism. He has lost the respect of all
Republicans who desire that their party
should be an agency for good government
and loyal citizenship. He has been cats
paw of Tammany Hall. Having used him,
Tammany is quite done with him, and since
he has betrayed his own party his claims
upon it are equally void.
Mr.. Bennett has injured his party un-
raistakably, but he has committed political
suicide in doing it. Those who betray a
party or an army frequently injure it, but
such reward as they obtain for the be-
trayal invariably precedes their treachery.
Afterward the history of all traitors, po-
litical or otherwise, is the same.

Don't Forget the Glorious Williams

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: II seems to me that the attempt oil
81. ". B." in The Tribune of last Saturday TO
cast reflection upon the people who happen
to bear the name William because the Ger
man equivalent Of that name is borne by the
chief enemy Of civilization, is rather far
fetched and little bit ridiculous.
II is a wonder to me that when the fellow
named over the undesirable Williams it did
not at oncs occur to him that there was q
William Mckinley, that there is William
Taft, also a William McAdoo.
Indeed, when your mind gets to running or
that, you think of quite number of people
pretty loyal Americans, who have borne that
name. Among the early colonialists were Will
lam Bradford and William Penn. The name
appears six times among the signers Of the
Declaration Of independence There was q
William Garrison, William Sherman, William
Bryant, William Charming, William Evarts
William Seward. The name appears four
times in the list Of Governors OF New York
State, fifteen times in the list of Mayors OF
New York City. ! think of at least si1
bishops of the Protestant Episcopal Church
named William and five Of the Methodist
Episcopal. Three Cabinet officers AZ the pres
ent moment bear the name of William, md
three Williams have been President, that
having been the Presidential name oftener
than any other save John and James.

New York's Loyalty

Mr. Hillquit's candidacy was an avowed
anti-war candidacy. He sought votes on
the plea that his election would stimulate
a movement in all the countries at war
for peace without victory" He was ut
terly frank in exploiting his refusal 10
bay Liberty bonds and his desire TO see
the prosecution Of the war hobbled.
What is New Yorks verdict on the
Hillquit programme? The Socialist can
didate has apparently received about 150,-
900 yotes-one vote in every five, roughly
speaking. He had undoubtedly the sup
port Of many Cerman-Americans who
never before vqed Socialist ticket. His

candidacy appealed to other classes of nat
uralized citizens, not specifically pro-Ger-
man, but directors to war and to military
CONSUMPTION. 1t may have attracted, also
many who wished to voice protest against
the extortions of the present system OF
food distribution, which the Federal and
state governments have been too slow in
combating and eliminating. Mr.. Hillqult
artfully combined the economic appeal
with the anti-war appeal. But though the
unrest necessarily accompanying the coun-
try's present effort to throw off the eco
nomic shackes of peace greatly favored
him, he could not run better than third
in this community Of alien strains and
variegated un-American tendencies.
New York is not against the war. 1t
is not ready to accept the programme
of surrender which Mr.. Hillquit SO
boldly preached. His appeal to slackerism
was adroit. His campaign was able. Yet
it failed, because the voters here, although
willing to reembrace Tammanyism are not
willing to countenance revival Of the IN
famies of Copperheadism. I

Sir: On the first page of your issue OF
today there is printed communlca-
ton from your London correspondent repro
drcirg the contents of an article which APP
,o.red in the Berlin "Vossische Zeitung"
~ October 9 under the prominent headline
"Tbe Peace Current in America" In that
article it is stated that "the peace move
meut in the United States is growing" and
in substantiaton of that assertion reference
10 made to the presentation by Senator
Stone. chairman Of the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations, of "a resolution Of the
well-known pacfst group of Pinchot, East
man and others, which demands thorough
consideration of the Reichstag peace resolu-
tom: that in doing so Senator Stone
announced that he would unswervingly con-
tinue his endeavors, "the aim OF wnlch was
not a German peace but peace by under
standing" The article goes on: Also,
Charles W. Eliot president emeritus of Har-
ward University, one of the most furious
haters of Germany, expressed himself. az
can be seen from long letter he had ad-
dressed to The New York Times in favor
of peace by understanding"

attention Of tie nations at war with Ger

help Germany in her resistance. Would that
Or. Eliot might be persuaded to take up

country could contribute much to bring about
a better coordination Of efforts. We are out

The Pan-German Plot

Elsewhere on this page we present, by
courtesy of "The Atlantic Monthly" ex-
tracts from a current article by Andre
Ch6radame. The views expressed therein
will not be strange to Tribune readers. 1t
is NJ. Cheradame's peculiar strength that
he devoted years Of his life, before the war,
his time, money and intelligence to study
ing the ramifcations of the pan-German
scheme for world dominion. He speaks as
one who discovered and proclaimed a
world threat while the world at large was
still blind TO its peril.

able the more readily to take the leadership
in such a movement without arousing resent
ment or jealousy. Whatever cost in lives and
treasure may be needed TO overthrow Ger
many, that cost will be halved IL the con-
duct of the war on the Allied side Is really
unified, if not as completely as on the Ger
man side, at least half way.
r. +. should be utilized to that end. His
being kept on the shelf is analogous to
locking up 500 batteries Of heavy field guns
needed in battle or two or three million
tons Of shipping needed to carry munitions.
Whatever may be said about him. he has
motive power to a higher degree than any
other man in the country. II is a great
pity that that motive power is not directly
applied TO the purposes of victory The
President might have used him in Russia
and did not. The President doesn't Ike
7. r.; he fears him. The country likes T.
r. and trusts him. If the President could
but overcome his disposition 20 utilize only
those who are subservient 10 him and accept
the services of those who will gladly serve
under him for the country's sake, our con-
tribution toward the winning of the war
would be greatly increased. Think Of T. R.
as the Presidents spokesman in an Allied
council sitting in Paris, with supreme power
To coordinate al eUortS on the Allied side, to
put the combined resources of the Allies in
man power, power and gun power where
they will do the most good in the general
interest.
Whenever any one suggests the advisa-
bility Of the President utilizing Colonel
Roosevelt in this war as an American force
to be modified with other American forces,
it is sure to bring some such answer as this,
among those we'll informed: "Very true, il
would be a good thing for the country-but
the President will not do it, For one, the
writer persists In hoping against hope that
the Presidents point Of view, which was not
changed by the Russian disaster, concerning
which he did not heed timely warnings
error duplicated in the instance of Italy
may yet change it may not be neces-
sary, m order that that change may be
brought about, that even worse disasters
shall befall the common cause.
