A Washington dispatch to Th#
News and Courier says political
storm warnings indicating dangerous
conditions all orer the country wore
prominently displayed from the
White House and the capital there
Sunduy. The flag that floats orer
the former showing when a president
is in Washington was there as
usual, hut with It and those 011 the
capital dome, keen-eyed politicians,
saw floating a red one with a black
centre. When thin sign Is seen It
indicates that a storm of marked
violence Is expected.
The Ballinger-l'inchot controversy
and the sudden and unexepcted developments
of th? last few days
threaten at tills timo to cause such
a political storm as tho country has
not seen in years. At the White
House, the capital, In the leading
hotels and In many private homes,
conferences were held, but. no one
"will at this timo even hazard a guess
as to what the developments of the
next few days may b?
Aside from tho personality rf

from the question of which of them
may bo right, with regard to the
country's conservation policies, the
fact stands out first and foremost
that an lssuo cannot be avoided,
which, in the opinion of many per
eons, will bring former President
jlhoosorvolt back Into >the political
arena as the Republican candidate
for president In 1912.
This being the case that party
would be split from Maine to California,
and the tremendous vote of
the Western States would bo swung
In line for the candidate of the
Democratic party.
It is realized In Washington tkat
* this is a fight which will undoubtedly
last for a long time and be far
reaching In Its political results. A
"Washington paper prints the following
story:
"There Is the keenest interest In
the part Senator Dolliver is to play.
The senator has for a year past
been utterly at outs with the senate
leadership. Indeed, ho la easily the
most unpopular man In the upper
chamber with the dominant forces
of that body. It Is understood that
I Senator Aldrich has personally taken
charge of the arrangements for the
f Investigation, knows whom ho want*
on the committee and how the work
Is to be done. The relations bo
tween the Rhodo Islander and the
senior senator from Iowa became so
sadly strained during the tariff session
that the prospoct of another
duel of wits and finesso between
these two hag added vastly to the
Interest in the coming encounter
from what might bo called the sport
lng standpoint.
"With Mr. Pinchot out of the
public service, he la free to employ
^ means and go to extremes whicj
would have been impossible had he
remained in office. If he is denied
the opportunity to present the fullest
possible case, or if technicalities
of proceduro are invoked against
him, the appeal will bo made to
public sympathy by his supporters."
Americans Murdered,
President Madrlz of Nicaragua, In
a message to the State department,
declared the resentment this government
has shown at the execution of
Cannon and Grace is justified.
Madrlz said he made a personal
8tudy of the circumstances of tho
executions and found them to be
Illegal. Madriz's declaration that
the execution was illegal leaves no
other recourse than criminal procedure
against Zelaya.

With thn recovery of hie body,
after manj hours of hard digging
by a gang of laborers, the New York
police are certain that Isaac Flukoluteiu
was killed by the oave-lu of
a tunnel he was boring for the purpose
of robbing the blast Side
branch of the Fourteenth Street
Hank and a nearby Jewelry store.
Finkleetein, who wan a painter by
trade, was last seen at his home in
the tenement building at No. 53
Ludlow street, New York, Wednesday
afternoon. About 4 o'clock he
told his wife ho was going into the
cellar to get some wood, and she
never saw him alive agalu.
Information given by Isador (larbus,
brother of klrs. Fuiekleetein,
convinced the police that Finekle
stein, and probably others, had boen
engaged in an attempt to tunnel
under the bank, just around the
corner of Grand street, and Zirlasky's
jewelry store, on the corner
of Grand and Ludlow. A force of
men was put to work by Building
Inspector Uevelle, and after only a
few hours' work, a tunnel leading
from the teneuVivt cellar and
branching toward both the bank and
Jewelry store was found.
Following up the tunnel. Insneefor
Kevell? and his men found that tho
tunnel had caved In about twenty
toot from the mouth, and thoy were
convinced Finkelstein had been
caught In the debris. Steady work
Thursday and Friday proved their
surmise correct the body being
found late Friday afternoon.
Finkelsteln's feet were first unearthed
by the workmen, and it was
many hours later bofore tho whole
body was uncovered. The body was
facing toward the mouth of the tunnel,
and was pinned down by several
heavy boards, which were oov
ered by a mass of earth. The position
of the body indicated that the
man was on his way out of the tunnel
when it caved in on him.
Finkelstein evidently had no
knowledge of tunnel building, the
tunnel being planked up in a very
irude way. His supports were not
strong enough to hold up the earth
when ho had bored as far as tho middle
of Ludlow street, and the upper
portion gave way suddenly,
catching him like a rat in a trap.
It 's neighborhood gossip that a
moving picture show inspired Finkelstein
with tho idea of burrowing.
The Finkelstein fiat looks out over
a row of low shanties, above which
looms the wall of the hank with its
$10,000,000 legend. Then, hy
squinting in a northeasterly direction,
Finkelstein could catch the
glitter of Zirinsky's diamonds.
The moving picture showmen on
the Fast Side go in strong for bank
robberies. Tunnelling under banks
and blowing safes that contain boodles
of gold are watched in breathless
suspense by tho nickelodeon
patrons, and then pnenrmi wen ?n
abandon that testifies overwhelmingly
to their popularity.
Finkelstein knew nothing about
tunnelling or tunnels, save what ho
saw flashed on the canvas In the
Grand street nickelodons and what
vague information he could derivw
from riding in the subway.
He was a painter by trade, an
easygoing phlegamatic fellow, and
none too prosperous after he had
lone feeding and clothing Mrs. Flnkalstein
and the five little Finckel3telns.
,
Mrs. Finckelstein, through an in- (
terpreter, finally made a complete
statement: "My husband wa? always
away late at night, said she, (
'and as he was a painter I had a
suspicion that something was wrong. (
Last week I spoke to him about
It, and he told me he was going to ,
rob a jewelry store. *

It leoniR that this may be aeeept- n
ed as a fact, and If it be, then there j,
Is a limit to which the farmer will a
And it advantageous to diversify. We r,
are not one of those who l>ellev? f,
that the farmer to be suceeesful
must necessarily return to primitive r
conditions and produce everything a
If with a given amount of money ^
or effort we can make an ameunt of ^
cotton which, when sold, will buy H
more corn than we cau make with t]
the given amount of labor and mon c
ey soil In the production of the y
cotton, then does it pay to raise ^
corn? If this were all there is in
the question of diversification and u
crop rotation, common sens? would (,|
plainly dictate that under such a r(
condition It will not pay to grow M
corn. jr
Hut while a man may make eot- BJ
ton to buy corn profitably one year, %
be cannot do It for a term of years a
for the simple reason that th? growIng
of ono crop on the land Is not
conducive to large yields. Again _
when the crop of corn is given the ti
same attention In respect to its fi(
requirements as cotton receives, corn
will be as good a crop for the
Southern farmer a* cotton.
To make the best yields of cot- 0)
twn unij require an good land an to
make the beat yields of corn, but a (,j
crop of cotton that will pay expenn- '
en, and a little more, may be made
on land and with management whieh
will not produce a paying crop of ())
corn. To grow corn profitably bet- _
r i
ter land and more Intelligent man- j
agement are roquirefi than are neeessary
to grow cotton that will pay j(j
a small profit over coat of produo- .
tlon.
g<
llecauno of these facts, and the
further fact that most Southern
landn are too poor to produce cern
profitably some Southern planters
and most of our friends to the **
North, erroneously conclude that the ^
South Is not adapted to the growing ,p
of corn. The only reason the South ^
is not adapted to the growing of
corn?and just as well adapted to
this crop as the so-called corn States j
of Illinois, Iowa, Missouria, etc.?
111
are that we have not given enough
attention to building up and mainc\
tnining the fertility of our lands ^
and that we do not apply the same
?r<
agricultural knowledge to its production.
j
That there is nothing in our cli- ^
mate and nothing in our soil except . ,
lack of fertility?which may he easi- .
ly supplied?to justify the statement
that this section of the country
is not well adapted to the growing
of corn, is unmistakably shown all
over the South, and frequently by rc
school hoys. When school boys in T
North Carolina, Alabama, Mississip a
pi, and Louisiana make 125 to 150 a
bushels of corn to the acre, and v<
make It at a coat of from 15 to 01
25 cents a bushel, and when men gi
make 226 2-3 bushels on an acre pi
as Mr. Batts, of North Carolina, did ai
this year, or 254 bushels on an acre ?
as did Mr. Drake, of South Carolina, hi
some years ago, It is absurd to state aj
that this country is not as well adapt- pi
ed to the growing of corn as any 11
other section. tti
When we Improve our lands, as w
we may easily do, and give that In- fa
telligent attention to its production cc
which corn demands, this will be a as
corn-producing country, and until ve
we do that, no crop will be produced
profitably by the average man. it
We do not advise the growing of to
wheat, and some other food crops ca
which we use, as money or sales th
crops, nor do we advise growing th
some of them at all unless the indl- e.\
vldual farmer first demonstrates to
that ho can grow them cheaper than in
he can buy them; but we do contend en
that corn, meats, fruits, legumes, pi
and many other' crops which we cr
might mention, can be grown by the ai
Southern farmer cheaper than any
other people on earth can grow them in
for him, and that, therefore, he at
should grow these crops for his own tc
