PENROSE'S BLUFF
Washington Party State Chair-
man Asks Questions Which
Boss Has Been Unable to
Answer
In a speech at Waynesboro, Frank-
in county, recently, A. Nevin De-
irich, state chairman of the Wash-
‘mgton party, took as his text, the
statement of Penrose, made last June,
n which the boss said he would an-
swer for his record.
“It has beeg several months since
that time,” id Detrich, “and al-
though we have asked him in twenty
jifferent ways, he has side-stepped
every question. :
«1 challenge Senator Penrose to an-
swer for his record. That record,
which he has created in the seventeen
years of his service is the most damn-
ing indictment ever presented against
any public man in our generation.
“penrose, by his own votes, which
are in the Congressional Record for
all to see, has been a servant of the
trusts, of the special interests, of the
liquor interests, of the financial pi-
ratks, and of every evil force that has
tried to thrust its dirty paws into
American politics.
“Boies Penrose says he will answer
any question on his record.
«1 ask him why he voted on every
occasion against the direct election of
United States senators?
“Why did he vote on every occa-
gion for Lorimer, the corrupt Illinois
boss, who was expelled from the
senate because the senators found
that the record of his election ‘reeks
and teems with the evidence of a
general scheme of corruption?’
“Why was he one of the ‘brazen
five’ who were the only senators to
vote for Robert W. Archbald, a cor-
rupt Scranton judge, who was im-
peached and dragged from the bench
because he used his position as judge
for his own profit?
«why did he refuse to vote for the
workmen's compensation bill, the
child labor bureau bill, the eight hour
day for laborers?
“Why is every crooked interest in
the state supporting him? He is ask-
ing for our votes, and we have a
right to know.”

CORRUPT PRACTICES
BILL DEFEATED BY
THE MACHINE
By WILLIAM DRAPER LEWIS
The corrupt practices act defeated’
by the Penrose machine in 1913 would
have limited the amount of money
which candidates or their friends
might spend in primary or election
campaigns. For example, a candidate
for governor would have been forbid-
den to spend more than $10,000; a
candidate for senator, more than
$1,000. The law was so framed as to
make evasion by the formation of
“Protective Unions,” or otherwise,
virtually impossible. It also included
provisions for the publication by the
state of an official
voters’ pamphlet,
a copy of which
would have been
mailed to every
registered voter
two weeks before
election. Not only
would this pamph-
let have permit-
ted every candi-
date for office to
bring his appeal
= directly home to
Wm. Draper Lewis the voters, but it
would also have
given any person objecting to the
nomination or election of a candidate
an opportunity to state his objections
and have them presented to every
voter—not merely those who sub-
scribe for a particular partisan news-
paper. The expense of issuing the
pamphlet would have: been borne in
part by the respective candidates.
Such a law would be a great step
toward clean politics. It was opposed
and defeated by the Penrose forces
in the senate of 1913 because the one
thing which the Penrose political ma-
chine favors above all else is an
act which limits the power of money
in politics and which contains pro-
visions tending to produce intelligent
thoughtful action on the part of the
voters. They opposed the bill for the
same reason that they have always
opposed any ,change in the present
vicious provision permitting the as-
sistance of voters in marking their
pallot on election day.
It is a significant fact that Dr.
Brumbaugh has not, up to this time,
made any reference either in his or-
iginal public statement or in any of
his utterances, to the necessity in
this state for the passage of this
corrupt practices act or in any other
act dealing with the subject.

The Pennsylvania Federation ot

Legislature.
In spite of repeated promises to

bill.
In telling about the defeat of this
good law the report of the legislative

The profits to be derived from the
good preservation of seed corn have
been put to practical tests by the of-
fice of corn investigations of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. The cuts show a building
constructed solely for the purpose of
preserving seed corn. It has a con-
crete basement and flue. Warm air
passes from the basement through
openings in the floor, ascends through
the corn, and escapes through venti-
lators.
This house was constructed at 2a
cost of $500, and in one year returned
to the farm $1,500 in profit, due toa
five-bushel increased acre yield on 740
acres planted with seed corn dried
and stored in it. These figures were
| obtained aa the result of 17 separate
tests. The owner of the farm on

which this test was made was not
fully satisfied with it because it was
made on small plats, and he there-
fore made more extensive tests. At
corn-gathering time in November he
selected two bushels of seed, placing
one bushel in a crib and the other
bushel in the seed-corn dry house.
In the spring with a two-row planter
| he planted four rows 1,280 feet long
and 3% feet apart with the seed kept
in the dry house; then four rows with
the seed kept in the crib. This he re-
! peated seven times, making eight
tests in all in which four rows planted
with one lot of seed were compared
with the adjoining four rows planted
with the other lot of seed. At har
| vest time four rows ylelded a wagon
| toad of ears, which constituted a
| weighing. From the seed kept in the
| erib there were produced 15,265
|
|
pounds, while from seed kept in dry
{ house there were preduced 16,2556
pounds. Each row of the latter pro-
| duced uniformly more than each row
| of the former.
| These results are the same as in
the tests of the department where
the rows were thinned to the same
stand of stalks.
The experiments emphasize the fact
that the productiveness of the stalks
is more important than the number.
Full stands can be obtained by the
| heavy planting of weak seed. Goecd
| yields cannot be obtained in this
| way. The most expensive seed to
i

|
| plant is that from which a stand of
stalks can be obtained but from which
ia good yield cannot be obtained.

Stirring Milk to Cool It.

the United States Department of Agri~
culture. When the cans of milk are
merely set in cold -water the cooling
process is very slow, much too slow,
in fact, to be at all satisfactory to a
progressive dairyman. In particular
the milk at the top of the can above
the level of the water is hardly af-
fected at all. The cold milk, being
heavier than the warm, will remain at
the bottom of the can, while the
warmer and lighter milk stays at the
top. Ultimately, of course, the entire
canful will acquire the same tempera-
ture, but this will require such a long
period of time that for practical pur-
poses stirring is now regarded as in-
dispensable.
In one experiment it was found that
the milk at the top of the can above
the level of the surrounding water
was from five to six degrees warmer
than the rest of the canful. In con-
sequence, bacteria developed at a
higher rate at the top. When the
milk became mixed later the inm-
creased number of the bacteria in the
warmer portion’ resulted in hasten-
ing the souring of the entire canful.
To Improve the Farm Egg of the
Middle West.
If the farmer, the country mer-
chant and cash buyer, the railroad
and the car-lot shipper will give spe-
cial attention to certain points in the
marketing and handling of eggs in the
middle West, the farm egg of that
section may be greatly improved, ac-
cording to the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture.
Here are some suggestions which
each individual factor in the process
may follow with profit to the whole:
Suggestions for the Farmer.
1. Improve your poultry stock.
2. Keep one of the general-purpose
breeds such as the Plymouth Rock,

3. Provide one clean, dry, vermin-
free nest for every four or five hens.
4. Conclude all hatching by June 1
and sell or confine male birds during
the remainder of the summer.
5. Gather eggs once daily during
ordinary times and twice daily during
hot or rainy weather,
