THE COUNTY about the new tariff law , take \ the reports of these malcontents for granted , and in many cases arc beating time to the anvil chorus of the free traders , The Opinion is going to place before you an object lesson of free trade and its workings from "Aierry Old England , " written by an Englishman who makes a study of the conditions of the people and the causes. Mr. C. P. Stewart is one of the fearless writers and presents some facts that every American should study. London , April 30. England is getting as much exercised over the "cost of living question" as America is. England is not the only Euro pean country in in which the "cost of living question' ' is being asked. Prices are rising every where. But nowhere else are conditions so serius as in Great Britain. For , elsewhere wages as well as price of food , shelter and clothing are showing , though in a less degree than other things , an upward tendency , while ia Great Britain , as the cost of living has been going up wages have been going dowel 1 Result , 5,000,000 people out of a total population of 14.000,000 are down and out paupers , and another ten million are just bal anced on the line separating the sufficientlv fed from the semi- starving. There are in the city of Lon don approximately 7,000,000 in habitants. Of these the latest official statistics set down 2,200- 000 as living in poverty. When an English statistican speaks of "poverty" he means a degree of destitution which an American can hardly understand. Conservatives blame free trade. Liberals say it is thefault , of the House ot Lords. Prohibi tionists attribute in to drink. Socialists point the accusing finger at private ownersnip. Currei cy experts , here as in the United States , find the source of the evil in over production of gold. Whatever the cause or causes may be the fact remains that bacon , the national breakfast dish , has risen in price from 18 to 28 cents a pound , and that rump steak which used to cost 20 cents a pound now costs 25 ; that pork and veal are 21 cents a pound ; eggs 30 cents a dozen Vegetables , imported from Bel gium and Holland , fluctuate but are always higher than in Amer ica. Thus it will be seen that it is costing as much to live in Eng land as in this country. But how about the wager and employment conditions ? Is there a single American who will trade his job for asimilar one in England ? If so , the English will be glad to swap. Take the advice of Andrew Carnegie , "stop howling ; this country is all right. " Colorado Springs Public Qpinion. That Sound Again It is very easy to fall out of patience with the republican ( N party. For of all thick-skinned , self-satisfied , ponderous , imruov V able animals , it is undoubtedly the worst. Some poet it surely was , with an ituagir ation that saw into the essential heart of things , who dubbed it the ele phant. When once it has taken its stand you can jab all day without budging it. Building a fire underneath is about the best way of obtaining progress. Now just why the American people prefer to deal with such an irresponsive brute is often hard to comprehend. The big point in his favor , of course , is his intelligence. When he does move , he moves in the right direction ; for he happens to pos sess the ablest intellectuals in the business. But a little less intelligence and a somewhat inroe obliging spirit would surely do as well by the country and every one would be in a much more amiable frame of mind. So why the elephant , The answer is unfortunately all too plain. It was given only the other day , for example , in an iuconspicinous observation of the Hon. Champ Clark , democratic leader in the house representa tives. Said he of the republican proposition to give plenary pow ers of investigation to the tariff board : The bouse democrats ate nuitcd in their opposition to it. Think of it ! Here at last is a chance for the country to obtain the information which everyone wants the facts whereupon a proper revision of the tariff by anv party can alone be made. And the democrats will unan imously oppose it for fear , of course , that it may help the re publicans get togetherl Of course , the facts would ultimate ly , if the democratic dogma is correct , annihilate the republican party. But never mind that. Hang the principle of the thing or even its far-sighted expend- iency. Let's be as pettily parti san as we can , say the Champ Clark democrats. Is it aty wonder that with such a bray resounding in the air the American people turn back peevishly to the stubborn old elephant ? From the New York Evening Sun , Ind't. The possibility that Col. Roosevelt velt may return from abroad as sound a republican xas ever is significantly distressing to the democratic newspapers. Pitts- burg Ga-zette-Times. The republican party points to fifty years of administration , to fifty years of control , and up on the Accord of those fifty in every department of human life in America the republican party is willing to stand , but it wants a right to insist that the people be given all the facts.

The Nebraska Experiment Station has just issued Bulletin No. 124 , on Storing Moisture in the Soil. This Bulletin is a re port of work done at the Experi mental Substation located at North Platte. The bulletin takes up the ne cessity of storing water in the soil during periods of wet weath er to be used during periods of drouth. A short description is given of the type of soil found on the Substation farm , the man ner of sampling , and the depth of sampling. Sotrc samples were taken to a depth of 15 feet in order to reach a point below which the crops could not obtain water. A map is given showing the division of the farm into fields and also one showing the soil areas of the state. A brief dis cussion of the movements of the water found in the soil is also given. The charts show that water is conserved in the soil through cultivation and that it is neces sary to keep the surface ot the soil loose and in a respective con dition to get the water into the soil. Almobi as much water is gotten into the soil during the early part o f the season where a cultivated crop is being grown as is conversed by summer tillage. This is due to the fact that the surface soil is kept loose enough to hold the water that falls until it can get down into the soil , and the loose soil on the surface prevent evap oration ; it is also due to the fact that comparatively few plants are being grown in a culti vated field and these do not ilraw very heavily on the wa'ter ' supply during the early part of their growth. In a small grain field more plants are grown , with the result that the water is used more rap. idly and less water is gotten into the soil. In fields growing al falfa or brome grass where the number of growing plants are large and the surface of the soil is smooth and hard , it is seldom that enough water gets into the soil to moisten the soil below two or thres feet. By the method of summer tilling practiced , from 40 to CO per cent of the season's rainfall has been stored for the use of the subsequent crop. On this type of soil the water in the upper six feet of the soil is avail able for the crop. Several charts and tables are given in the bulletin , to show the amount of precipitation at North Platte. One table given shows the precipitation during the period that the work was being done. Charts showing- the an nual average precipitation by months are also given , This bulletin may be had free of cost upon application to the Nebraska Agricultural Experi ment Station , Lincoln , Nebraska.
