THERE IS NO I'LL WIND, ETC.

(From the Bakersfield (Calif.) Echo)
In the failure to ratify the treaty,
due to the unpalatable league cove
nant, we can see no serious danger
for the nation. Rather we would
have had treaty ratified with the
league as revised by the majority,
but we would rather see the treaty
beaten at this time, than to have our
country tied hopelessly and securely
to the imperial chariot of Europe and
the Orient. There is no ill wind but
blows somebody good, and the fact
that the unyielding attitude of the
President made it impossible to ratify
the treaty, with amendments, will
certainly serve as lesson to the
hopeless minority.

MANY PRODUCTS RECOv-
Erred FROM KELP

Kelp, apparently, is going to be a
profitable source of potash, an i'm
portant fertilizer ingredient that the
United States formerly obtained al
most wholly from Germany. During
the war, an experimental kelp-potash
plant was established by the United
States Department of Agriculture at
Summerland, Calf. Before the Sec
ond year of operation was completed
it had been determined not only that
the plant could be made self-sustain-
ing on the basis Of potash alone, at
$3.50 a unit, but that a number of
valuable by-products could be profit
ably obtained. The Chief of the Bu-
reau of Soils, which bureau operates
the enterprise, estimates that if the
plant turns out $500 worth of potas-
sium chloride day, it may at the
same time turn out 1869 worth a day
of the four principal by-products.
Among the by-products whose COM
mercial obtainability has been estab-
lished are iodine, common salt, am
monia, and bleaching carbon. This
bleaching carbon, formerly imported
from Europe and sold for 20 cents a
pound, has been prepared and sold
from the Summerland plant at Is
cents pound and appears at present
about able to pay the production cost
Of itself and the potash, with good
reason to believe that it may ulti-
mately be made to pay the operating
cost of the entire enterprise. 1t has
been definitely established by large
scale operations that very little of the
nitrogen of kelp is lost in the various
processes and that it can be CONNER
cially recovered as ammonia, thus
yielding another important fertilizer
element. In this process enough COM
bustible gas sreleased greatly to re-
duce if not to eliminate fuel consump-
tion in the plant. A tar is likewise
recovered, and its subproducts, kelr
oils and cresote, have been shown to
be of value, respectively, as flotatior
agents and disinfectants. Still lothei
valuable by-products are likely to be
recovered.
"The field broadens tremendously
as progress is made" reports the
Chief Of the Bureau of Soils.

MANY DEMOCRATS FIND
TREATY OBJECTIONABLE

Washington, Dec. 18.-That the
peace treaty including the league
covenant in the original form, with
out any changes or reservations to
safeguard Americansim, is as objec-
tionable to thinking democrats in
Congress as to republicans has been
many times made plain.
A statement has just been put in
to the record by Senator Hoke Smith
of Georgia, one of the foremost of the
Senate democrats, member of the
Cabinet of Grover Cleveland, in which
he discusses the different reserva-
tions and urges in strong terms the
need of providing them. One of the
topics he takes up is mandatories. He
seeks to show the danger involved in
having the United States saddled with
a mandate over foreign people with
out the consent of Congress.
