REPUBLICAN VIEW OF TARIFF
CRIMES.

In the progress of the debate on the
ordney-McCumber tariff bill Repub-
ian Senators one after another have
dscribed particular rates of the
MEASURE as ''injustices," 'extOrtions,
and "outra ges." Senator Smoot
Ttah) brought the cTescendo of hard
words to the highest pitch by calling
the rates on dyes "a crime"
What starts the flow of vitupeTa ton
from the lips of these Republican
Senator's is not the intrinsic wrong
IF the rates or of the principle Of tax
ing the millions for the benefit OF
hundreds. Not at all. Their objections
spring from the knowledge that some
of these rates are bad politics-for
them. Every one of these Republican
Senator's is willing enough to hurt
anv one else in the country, but not
himself.
For example. Senator Smoot is the
author of the scheme to cut down the
supply of Cuban sugar in order to
give the Sugar Trust free field to
extort from the American people
or;ces of 7 to 10 cents pound for
: product. That is good business for
ne Sugar Trust and good politics for
Ur. Smoot. Ergo, it isn't a crime.
4 tariff crime" in Mr.. Shoots lexl-
con appears to be any act likely to
harm one of his pet interests or I'M

Fortune Fails to Smile
On Lord Lascelles

London, Aug. S.-The first business
venture of Lord Lascelles, better
known as the husband of Princess
Mary, has proven a failure. The
Conquerer Typewriter Manufacturing
Company in Stourton, near Leeds, of
which he was the head and principal
shareholder, has just been sold.
The concern was started in 1919
with nominal capital of half a mil
lion sterling. Itwas intended oy the
promoters to produce an all British
typewriter which should compete
with the best of the American ma
chimes.
The erection Of the factory and its
equipment was undertaken at a time
when prices ruled high. No expense
was spared and when the works
were completed they were considered
the "last word" in modern mass pro-
ductions.
1t was hoped that the new industry
would provide regular employment
for 400 work people. Much expert
mental work was undertaken in order
to justify the name "Conquerer" and
ensure production on a sufficiently
profitable basis. But owing to the
industrial slump not a single ma
chine has been produced for sale.

A Derby Hat

OF dress can brand man more sure
ly than derby hat. Wouldn't man
OF originality or initiative rejec. a
derby as uncomfortable, unhygenic,
unnecessary and preposterous If
he accepts derby when the hat clerk
offers it to him, it is because he is
inclined to do the conventional thing,
the usual thing, no matter how alb
surd, without enough force cf char
acter to assert his rights. main
tain that in a democratic country
every honest, freeborn yoeman is en-
titled not to wear derby hat
An employer once remarked t. me /:
Beware of hiring, for an important
job, man who wears a too con-
spicuouly large lodge emblem. Eth
er he has never amounted to much
and being a member of a lodge is
the only thing in which he car feel
any pride, or else he expects to gam
some advantage for himself from

say little about it and treat it just
as an incident in their lives rather
than as the one big ISSUE"

New World Record
Made by Elliott

Cotati, Cal, Aug. FRANK Elliott
today possessed new world; record
of 25 minutes, 40 and 72 100 seconds
for driving an automobile SO miles
on board track. He also took 10,-
nile race in SO minutes here yesterday
after his record.breaking SO mile run
in the Cotati Spring.
Jimmy Murphy was forced out Of
the spring while he was in the lead
and travelling 119 miles an hour. In
the 10th lap he stripped a tire which
pammed a brake band. Murphy also
came to grief in the century event, in
which three tire changes forced him to
take second place. Elliott drove the
100 miles without a tire change.
The former record for SO miles was
held by Ralph de Palma, veteran Ital-
ian pilot. He made the mark at
Sheepshead bay, N. Y, on June ID,
1914, when he negotiated the distance
in 26 minutes % and 41-100 seconds.
Tommy Milton was second and Ed
die Hearne third, Jerry Wonderlich,
fourth, Bennett Hill fifth and Art
Klein sixth.
Elliott's average speed FOR the leo
mile race was I13 1-2 miles an hour
Tommy Milton took third place. Hill
was fourth, Klein fifth and Hearn

Results of
Fertilizer Experiments
New Publication Gives Information on
Fertilizer Tests on Typical
Piedmont SoilS


Fertilizer Tests on Typical
Piedmont Soils.
Clemson College, August 4.-That
phosphoric acid is the chief limiting
factor in cotton yields, that nitrogen
is the second limiting factor, that pot
ash and lime are of doubtful or no
value, and that it is difficult to main
tain cotton yields by the use of COM
mercial fertilizer alone on typical
Piedmont soils are shown in Expert
ment Station Bulletin 211, "Fertilizer
Experiments with Cotton at Clemson
College" which has just been issued
by the Experiment Station and is
available to all citizens of the state
who ask for it.
The bulletin contains detailed dis.
cussion of the experiments showing
the history of the experiments, which
were begun in 1906 on typical Pied
mont soils classified by the Bureau of
Soils as Cecil Sandy Loan. Fertiliza-
ton was at the rate of 600 pounds of
1873 fertilizer per acre each year and
during the period of experimentation
covering Is years, 13 cotton crops
have been harvested. Tables showing
the results in pounds of seed cotton
per acre on the various plots and ex-
planatory material covering each plot
make up the body of the bulletin. The
conclusions OF. the experiments are
summed up in the following para
graphs.
Conclusions.
1. Applications of fertilizer. carry
ing large amounts of ammonia or
phosphoric acid have a residual effect
which lasts for several years.
2. Phosphoric acid is the first limit
ing factor on this particular soil and
gives larger increase in crop yield
than any other che clement alone.
8. Nitrogen is the second limiting
factor and gives material increase in
yield of cotton.
a. Potash gave small increase in
yield on some plots but is Of doubtful
value, when all plots are considered
5. Lime gave a slight reduction in
yield when used with acid alone and a
slight increase when used with COM
plete fertilizer. 1t does not seem that
it would pay to use lime on this soil
for the production Of cotton alone.
6. Acid phosphate and blood conf
