THE FALLS CITY TRIBUNE , FRIDAY , MARCH 6 , 1908. Precedents. Iu American political history four men have been voted on for President three times. One of these , however , John Quiucy Adams , was not a candidate on one of the occasions when he received a single vote from a Presidential elector. That leaves three nominees who three times made a fight for the Presi dency. Henry Olay in 182-1 received thirty-seven electoral votes and was the low man of the four candidates. The election was thrown into the Uouse where it went to J. Q. Adams. Eight years later Olay , as the candi date ol Jackson's opponents , got only forty-nine electoral votes. Again , in 18 14 , he made an unsuccessful race against Polk , receiving 103 voles to his opponent's 170. Van Bnron was elected President in 183G. He was renominated and defeated by Harrison in 1840 and was an unsuccessful candidate for a third party in 1848 when Taylor won. Oleyeland , after losing in his second race , won in the third in 1892. Of all these candidates the only one successful in a third appeal to the people was Presi dent Cleveland , who had already served one term , and even when defeated in the electoral colleges had had a plurality of the popular vote over Harrison. These precedents have a cer tain historical interest. Of course they have no necessary significance in connection with the probable third nomination of Mr. Bryan , who is confident ol liis ability to make his own pre cedents. K. 0. Star.

FALLS CITY , NEB. dominant sentiment among'Mis. souri republicans Taft. To this overwhelming sentiment Thomas K. Niedringhaus owes liis defeat for national commit- teeman. The delegates did not belieye he was friendly to Taft. They elected Charles Nagel because - cause they knew he was Taft's friend. Even in the west , where the politicians have conceded that the Talt sentiment was practic ally unanimous , the real strength ol the war secretary has not been properly estimated. The Missouri convention only afford ed an illustration on this lad. The people are for Taft because they believe in his > policies as a principle rather than as a matter of political expediency. No half-hearted support for him will satisfy this whole-hearted sentiment of the people. There was no personal animosity to Mr. Niedringhaus in the con vention , but he had failed to satisfy the delegates that he was in hearty sympathy with the Tatt movement. In every instance wherein the politicians have failed to satisfy Hie people that they were Taft men at heart the result has been the same. The rank and'lile repub licans are talcing no chances in the matter of placing Taft men on guard. Everywhere the Taft sentiment has come from the people with a strength and a determination that has over whelmed the leaders , defied the strongest combinations and wholly disregarded the best laid plans of the party organi zations.

Kind Of A Nondescript. One of the friends of the Tribune handed in the following article which is supposed to give a truthful opinion of editors as seen from the inlantilcstand- point. lie wanted it dissemin ated and so here goes : "A little boy in town was given the stunt by his father to write an essay on editors and here is the result : "I don't know how newspapers come to be in the world. I don't think God does for lie haint got noth ing to say about them and editors in the Bible. I think the editor is one of the missing links you read of , and stayed in the bushes until after the Hood , and then came out and wrote the thing up , and has been here ever since. I don't think he ever died. I never saw a dead one and never heard of one getting licked. Our paper is a mighty good one , but the editor goes without underclothes all winter and don't wear uny socks and paw ain't paid his subscription since the paper started. I ast paw if that was why the editor had to suck the juice out of snowballs in winter and go to bed when he had his shirt washt in summer. And then paw took me out into the woodshed and Held me awful hard. If the editor makes a mistake folks say he ought to be hung ; but il a doctor makes any mistakes he buries them and people dasseut talk because doctors can read and write Latin. When the editor makes mistakes there is lawsuits , and swearing and a big fuss ; but if a doctor makes one there is a funeral , cut Hewers - ers and perfeck silence. A doc tor can use a word a yard long without him or anybody know ing what it means ; but if the editor uses one he has to spell it. If the doctor goes to see another man's wife he charges for the visit ; but if the editor goes he gets a charge of buck shot. When tlio doctor gets drunk its a case of being over come by heat and if he dies its from heart trouble ; when an editor gets drunk its a case of too much booze and if he dies its the jinvjatns. Any old col lege can make a doctor ; a editor has to be born.

Instructions Concerning Pickle Crowing READ OAKKPULLY Good corn ground is good pickle ground. The richer the better. It will pay to plow under a thick coat of manure the previous fall ; but hill fertilising is best if properly done. Put the manure into deep furrows and cover well with mellow soil upon which 10 to 12 seeds should be placed and covered not over one and one-half inches with mellow dirt. Be sure to have all of the manure well covered to prevent drying out. If ground is not fall plowed it should be plowed in the spring when in the right condition to stir well , then be cultivtaed occasionally till time for planting when it should be clean and in good mellow condition. Too much stress cannot be laid upon the richness of the soil and a thorough preparation , for which your reward will be a bountiful harvest. As many as five hun dred bushels have been grown on one acre. Plant from 1st to 10th of June , when bugs do not trouble. Mark the ground about 11 } feet one way and 7 feet the other , having the wide rows run the way yon want to go in picking. Cultivate both ways the same as with corn , and when the vines are 0 to 8 inches high hoe out any weeds in hill and thin out plants , leaving four of the best in a hill. It is a common error to make machinery do all the work. There is not an acre of corn grown which if hoed by hand , at least once , would not make abundant returns for the labor. Use your hoe. "When you begin to pick be careful not to step on the vines and remember yon do not lose anything by picking small pickles , even as small as one inch long , for several more will start for every one you pick , and the more yon pick the more bushels they will bear. When you see a two-inch pickle pick it , for it will be too large next time. Do not expect everything that grows to make pickles. Knots , chunks and yellow ones will not and are not figured in your estimated yield. Vines should be picked every JIG hours ; therefore Avhen possible pick over greater part of the patch on Saturday and Monday ; if growing rapidly better pick every day. Do not hold pickles over Sunday. The pickles must be thorough ! } ' sorted and put in clean sack before delivering. Good pickles four inches long and under , picked so as to count not less than seven hundred to the bushel , are of first grade and worth fifty cents per bushel of fifty pounds. Those not soft , seedy , chunky or yellowish that will count not less than 250 to the bushel and do not exceed fi inches in length arc second grade and worth fifteen cents per bushel. Beyond these two grades there is no commercial value as pickles. The profit in pickle raising is in the' first grade , and by thorough , careful work in picking there need be but a few of the second grade and practically none of the third. The plant vi tality required to grow fifty bushels of second grade , netting the producer $7.50 , will easily produce one hundred and fifty bushels of first grade , netting § 75.00. Draw your own conclusions as to which pays. One large pickle , if left to grow , uses up so much vitality of the vine as to prevent others from setting , hence it is of the utmost importance that all large pickles should be at once removed. The growth of the large pickle seriously interferes both with the setting of other pickles , as well as their develop ment into a merchantable article.
