From the New York Times. A more thrilling and electrifying contest it would be almost impossible to conceive than the great international race between the Americans and the British, starting within a few months for the south pole, the last objective on the face of the earth. The race itself, the background of it and the sportsmanlike manner in which it is to be conducted seize and hold the imagination. It is to be between the two great branches of the Anglo-Saxons, the attitude of each being, 'Here's good luck to both sides; may the best men win." The English expedition, leaving home in August, will embark directly for King Edward Land from New Zealand in December, while the Americans will leave New York in the Roosevelt. Peary's north pole ship, in September, touching civilization for the last time in their southward course at Punta Arenas, in the Strait of Magellan, also in December. They will enter the circumsolar territory at Graham Land, at almost the opposite side of the earth from the rivals. Thus both will land about the same time and the great trek for the grail will begin at practically the same moment. And is Raisuli Dead? From the Chicago Tribune. We devoutly trust that the news of the death of our old friend Raisuli Is unfounded. It is reported that he has been poisoned by some enemy in Morocco. No details were given and the incident is dismissed by the press in an offhand way unfitting to the distinguished contributions he made to the gayety of nations. In two things Raisuli excelled all his co-temporaries, at least in his own country. These were as a host and as a collector. In his mountain home up Mogador way he entertained with such royal hospitality that his guests found it almost impossible to come away. And as a collector he had Mr. Loeb beaten many nautical miles. There was no favored nation in Mr. Raisuli's tariff schedule and the maximum rate was always applied. Senator Aldrich was r. piker compared with him. He deserves to go down to history properly chronicled. Sewall Ford did very well at it in his tale, "Truelove of Mogador," but Raisuli's story can only be lightly told with the stage setting of a comic opera. Secret Divorce For the Rich. From the New York World. Nothing revolutionary is contemplated by the bill, introduced at Albany by Assemblyman Toombs to put nil end to secret divorce for the rich. It does not interfere with the discretionary power of judges to exclude the public from scandalous hearings; it does prohibit secrecy as to the records. Probably nobody ever heard of "sealing" the testimony and findings In a divorce case involving people of small means. It is only the socially influential and the financially powerful who enjoy that, privilege. Mr. Toombs's bill ought to pass as a matter of course. In the administration of justice there should be no favored classes, orders or estates. Charlatanry. From the Butte Inter-Mountain. Ten years' cursory study of history or less will convince all that the charlatan always fails. The charlatan in American business and commerce today gains a brief advantage: and the weak-minded are led to imitation. But the facts decry such efforts. Steady, consistent effort alone accomplishes much. Both preclude frills. The charlatan is either lax or idle. We lose our love of charlatanry, gradually. When Mr. Dickens visited America, he found the charlatan king. The proper focus, of course, will come with experience. Charlatanry has been tried and found wanting in American journalism and in almost every other phase of American life. TWINKLES (By Philander Johnson) The Streamer Ticket.

TEST YOUR CORN! There is a man named Holden in Iowa. He is about the most useful man in that state. He creates wealth.

Holden is engaged in the work of making the annual corn yield worth millions of dollars more valuable in Iowa. With corn at its present price and hogs at a prohibitive figure, you can see that Holden is putting money into the hands of all the people of his state.

How does he do it? By increasing the yield from ten to thirty bushels per acre. Figure it up that is worth any farmer's time. And it does not require any more cultivation. It is mostly in the seed. Here is Holden's advice to Iowa farmers: "If I could give but one order, it would be to make a thorough germination test of at least SIX kernels from every ear of SEED CORN intended for planting; the test to be made before the ears are shelled, and not later than April 1st." In one day's time one man can lay out 400 ears of corn in rows on the floor, remove six kernels from each ear, and place them in a germinating box ready for testing. If you want to hire someone to do it, the cost of testing will be ten cents per acre. But you can do it YOURSELF in these idle days of February and March. Two days' work will test enough seed corn for forty acres.

Why all this bother? Because 12 acres out of every 40 in Iowa produce absolutely no corn. Worse than that, they are worse than useless because they are cultivated with the same care that the other productive acres receive. Holden wants every hill of corn that is cultivated, to count. If so, 40 acres out of every 40 will be productive. This great loss is due to the fact that the seed planted is sterile dead. Use the Germination Box! It is a simple affair. Anyone can make it in an hour's time. Two by three feet and six inches deep. Fill the germination box half full of damp sawdust. A cloth ruled into blocks and squares is placed on the sawdust. The grains of corn from the numbered ear are placed on the corresponding square on the muslin. The seed is sprouted by the wet sawdust. Then you can tell which ear of corn has SEED WHICH WILL GROW.

By the use of that box of Holden's, the farmers of Iowa in March and February will save more than a month of hard labor later. You may say this is "too much bother." Then pick out six hundred ears. Look at them. Guess they will grow and plant them. The Iowa farmers who follow that plan lose 12 acres out of every 40.

Holden believes in creating wealth behind the stove in February. Some Iowa farmers say: "I was very much interested in what you have to say, and it is a good plan, but it is too much bother." That means that he is not anxious to raise his corn yield and his bank account by three or four days' work. He will not create wealth.

If one ten ears of seed corn will other ten will raise 40 bushels, which That is the message of Holden to

In 1908, the average yield in Wayne County was 38.93. On Saturday, corn sold in Indianapolis for 65 cents a bushel.

HAS A UNIQUE HEN Ex-policeman Possesses Fowl Which Crows Just Like Rooster. HAS OTHER ODD TRAITS Spokane, Wash., Feb. 21. "Philadelphia Tom" Smith, for 20 years a member of the police department of Spokane, now retired, has a Black .Minorca hen, which regularly lays eggs with double yelks, crows like a rooster and Is, according to its owner, a confirmed suffragette, in that the fowl will not stay in the hennery and hatch its eggs. One of the hen's chief feats is an egg with three yelks, which is on exhibition in the exposition rooms of the chamber of commerce. Several of the hen's double eggs have been hatched in incubators and by other hens and the chicks are large and strong, but none has yet developed the lusty crow possessed by the mother hen. Smith has tried time and again to have "Biddy" set on its eggs, but the hen simply utters a squawk that sounds like "nothin' doing," and then crows all over the lot at the Smith home at Perry street and White avenue. Smith does not claim any credit for the remarkable performance of his hen, now four years old, but says it is a freak of nature. He feeds the hen on pounded oats and scraps from the table with plenty of pepper. Like Old Friends The Longer You Know Them, the Better You Like Them. Doan's Kidney Pills never fail you.

Taft Calls on Beveridge to Aid

United States Senator Beveridge, who was summoned to the White House by President Taft to confer on the "get-right-down-to-business" plans for the passage of legislation which has been pledged by the president for this session. The president believes there has been too much lost motion in the legislative mechanics up to now and Senator Beveridge has been entrusted with the strenuous task of letting it be known and thoroughly understood that the senate wants to get busy with the postal savings bank, the interstate commerce, the conservation and injunction bills without a single unnecessary hour's delay.

Slack Denies An Agreement With Taggart He Resents Charge He Will Withdraw Race for Senator to Be a Candidate for Governor Beveridge Disappoints the Democrats.

(Palladium Special) Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. I'L The story which has been going around, and which was first printed in this city, to the effect that L. Ert Slack, the democratic statesman from Franklin, had decided to withdraw from the race for the United States senatorship and become a candidate for the democratic nomination for governor, has stirred Mr. Slack into action, and he is now out with a denial of the story. He says there is not a word of truth in it and that no one has any right to say that he has given up his senatorial ambitions. It will be remembered that the article in question stated that a deal had been framed up by which Slack was to get out of the senatorial fight and leave the way open for John E. Lamb, and that in return for this Taggart had agreed to land for Slack the nomination for governor. Th story caused a good deal of comment, because it was taken to mean that Taggart was already asserting his absolute ownership of the Indiana democracy. This did not set very well with a good many democrats over the state, who are not in line with the Taggart program, and evidently Slack is still in the class that does not truckle to Taggart. for he indicates in his denial of the story that he does not believe that Taggart is in such absolute control of the party as he thinks he is. Slack Makes Denial. After making his general denial of the story, Mr. Slack says in his statement: "In the first place I have not dropped my senatorial ambition, and in the second place, I am not now. nor have I at this time, any intention of being in the future, a candidate for Governor, nor do I know that Mr. Taggart makes senators nor that he has any intention of entering that business. "And iu the third place I have not had any assurance from men like Mr. Taggart or Mr. Lamb, that they will be for me for governor in two years. "And in the fourth place I am not in any deal or arrangement otherwise with any combination for the governorship. "And in the fifth place I do not know of any combination on that subject nor upon any other subject in Indiana politics except as I see evidences of combines and cabals in the republican party. "And in the sixth place I do take very seriously the democratic talk of defeating Senator Beveridge in 1P11. and I have no other thought in my mind than that the democrats will con trol both houses of the next legislature." Warms to Taggart. Whether there has ever been any truth in the story or not. that Slack was "warming up" to the Taggart crowd, there have been developments in the past that indicated that such was the case. It will be remembered that last summer Slack and Crawford Fairbanks were in Washington together and that a conference of Indiana democratic congressmen was held while they were there, at which both were present. Joseph H. Shea of Seymour, also was there, and it is known that Shea stands closer to Senator Shively than any other Indiana democrat. It Is known, too, that Shively had the support of the Taggart and Crawford Fairbanks faction in the race for United States Serrator last winter and that they were against Slack. The mere fact that Fairbanks and Shea and Slack were all at Washington at the same time and that they all attended this conference was sufficient to arouse interest in Indiana political affairs, and the newspaper correspondents at Washington hopped on to it and sent out long stories to the effect that a reconciliation was being fixed up between Slack and his enemies, and that Slack was to receive favors at their hands. Of course. Slack, and all the rest, denied any such arrangementStill Fight the Boss. Since then the story has gone around and around over the state, until the one was printed here a couple of weeks ago to the effect that Slack had agreed to get out of the race for senator and that Taggart had agreed to

hand him the nomination for governor in Hl Slack's denial, however, is so emphatic that it can only be taken as his definite decision. But it

proves that there is still the same old fire of opposition to Taggart's control of the democratic party in Indiana, and that the fight against Taggart control continues, thus maintaining the time honored split in the party. Now that Slack has announced his determination to keep out of the race for governor, the question arises as to who will have the Taggart backing when the time to make a nomination arrives. It is supposed that either Sam Ralston or Joseph H. Shea will be the favored one. Ralston has already had the Taggart support for the nomination, and it was only through a set of circumstances unfortunate ! for Ralston that he was defeated for I the nomination by Thomas R. Marsh all. On the face of things Ralston is entitled to another chance at the nomination or this reason. But there are some who believe that Shea will loom up for governor in 1912. There has been some talk of Shea for United States senator, and it has been reported that he would have the support of Senator Shively and of Crawford Fairbanks, and this would mean, of course, also the support of Taggart. But if peace can be patched up between these elements and John E. Lamb there is good reason to believe that Lamb will be the favored one lor senator and this will then leave the way open for Shea to come in for governor. It makes a very interesting situation in Indiana democratic politics. Beveridge Fools Them. To those who have had the idea that Senator Beveridge would use his tremendous power of patronage to build up a personal machine for himself in the republican party in this state, it can easily be pointed out that he is not doing anything of the kind. Many of the appointments which he has made recently show this to be true. It has all along been the favorite pastime of democrats to declare that Beveridge intended to ride rough shod over every element in the republican party except his own intimate friends and personal followers, and many of them have used this argument so long and so energetically that they have almost reached the point where they believe it themselves. Beveridge's appointments, however, prove that he is disregarding factions or machine lines. For instance, he has appointed John W. Dyer, of Hammond, as pension agent for Indiana, to succeed A. O. Marsh. Dyer is a Crumpacker man and has always been known as such. The appointment of Dyer as pension agent Is a compliment to the Tenth district ,which for so many years has been rejresented in congress by Congressman Crumpacker. The position of jension agent is one of the best at the command of Senator Beveridge. The salary is $4,000 a year. He is Hemenway Man. Charles Covert, of Evansville, was selected by Senator Beveridge for internal revenue collector in the Seventh district, to succeed John R. Bonnell. of Crawfordsville. Covert is a Hemenway man and was appointed by Hemenway as postmaster at Evansille, which position he resigned to accept the office of revenue collector. L. B.

The Saint Days

The following are the saints days for the week: Today, St. Severian; 22. St. Peter's chair at Antioch; 23. St. Peter Damian; 24. St. Matthias the apostle, St. F-thelbert (first Christian king of England. 6161: 23. St. Tarasius: 26. the Passion of Our Lord. There is one saint in the calendar whose day. being February 29, has but one day in four years, and as the year 1900 was not a leap year, when the new century arrived he was for eight years without a festival. The saint so distinguished is Oswald. bishop of Worcester, and archbishop j of York. 992. and further distinguished as the successor of St. Dunston, in compelling his priests, "who loved their wives better than the church." to give up their spouses. Preferred Monasticism. Oswald put down the married clergy and substituted for the genial life of these jovial English priests the strict j monasticism of the Benedictines. Oswald was the nephew of Odo. and was descended from Danish ancestors. He was called to Canterbury by Archbishop Odo. who made him a canon. He had already shown a passion for monasticism and lecame so dissatisfied with the ' goings on" of the married clergy of Canterbury that he left England and entered the abbey of Fieury in France, then celebrated for the severity of its discipline. Archbishop Odo died in 961. As he felt his health declining the sent for his nephew, who arrived only in time to hear of his death. Dunston was whom Hemenway appointed postmast er at New Harmony, also was reappointed by Beveridge. And when it came to selecting a iostmaster at Boonville, Hemenway's home town. Beveridge asked Hemenway to make a recommendation, and Hemenway picked John Richardson, and Beveridge appointed him. In the Second district Beveridge reappointed as postmasters men who had been apjiointed originally by Congressman Chancy. John Graham, postmaster at Bloomfield, John W. Emlson, postmaster at Vincennes and S. L. Keach, postmaster at Bedford, all of whom were Chaney appointees, were reappointed by Beveridge. Then in the Ninth district. Senator Beveridge reappointed S. S. Heath postmaster at Lebanon and F. W. Boyd postmaster at Covington. These men were both appointed to their positions originally by Charles B. Landis when he was congressman from the Ninth district and were out and out Landis men. lieveridg appointed Edward Spray postmaster at Frankfort and Edward Arnett postmaster at Kokomo. Both of these men were outside of the Landis fold. Thus in the Ninth district Beveridge paid no attention whatever to factional lines, but made appointments purely on meriL OLE BULL. Not a Classical Player, but He Bewitched His Hearers. The truth Is that Ole Bull was not a classical player. As I remember him, he could not play In strict tempo. Like Chopin, he indulged in the rubato and abused the portamento. But be knew his public. America, particularly In the regions visited, was not in tbe mood for sonatas or concertos. "Old Dan Tucker" and the "Arkansaw Traveler" were the mode. Bull played them both, played jigs and old tunes, roused the echoes with the "Star Spangled Banner" and Irish melodies, lie played such things beautifully, and it would have been musical snobbery to say that you didn't like them. You couldn't help yourself. Tbe grand old fellow bewitched you. He was a handsome Merlin, with a touch of tbe charlatan and a touch of Liszt in his tall, willowy figure, small waist and heavy head of hair. Sucb white hair!

for This Week

elected to the see of Canterbury and that nYitod prelate fearing that the see of Worcester might fall into the hands of a bishop favorable to the married priesthood, persuaded Oswald to accept it! The new bishop found plenty to do at Worcester, where Dunston himself had pot been able to dislodge the married canons from the church. They offered an equally resolute rsitance to Oswald, who finally left the church to the canons and their wives and built a new church and monastery nearby in which &e established a colony of monks from Fleury. The people, it was said, attended sometimes one church and sometimes the other until, won over by the superior holiness which Oswald's clergy appeared to display, they deserted the old church and the married clergy found themselves without support. The ,d chroniclers do not state exaciiy nai nappeneu at tms juncture, but it may be surmised that the les of the clergy were compelled to take in washing. In 972 Oswald was made archbishop of York It was only toward the close of his life that Oswald triumphed over the old secular clergy of England, lie died on the day before the calends of March, that is on the last day of the t preceding month, and he is the only saint who takes his place in the calen dar for that day.
