ATHENA. ORE.. MARCH 15 1907 The Campbell system of crop culture is based on tbe conservation of prac tically all of tbe moia'ure in tbe soil through a dust or surface mulch, and under it as bigb as forty bushels of com to the acre have been growu in North Dakota, fifty bushels of wheat per acre in western Nebraska, while better than twenty tons of beets have been produced in Colorado. While this method of crop culture has little value in those portions of the country where there is an abundant rainfall, it does have a tremendous import in all territory where there is fertility in the soil, but annual rainfall of less than twenty inohes. The statement of K Wagner, a We'iiieiieo ft ait grower, who teoently retained -from Australia, where he went to dispose of bis apple crop, that he "could dispose of the entire output of the Weuaichee valley on the south ern continent," ought to encourage apple growers throughout tbe Inland Empire.

Beoause the Republican candidate for mayor of Chioago is named Eusse it does not follow that he bas been a hotel employe or noted for labial contracts with the fair sex. Reed Smoot, by a favorable vote of bis colleagues, will retain bis seat in tbe United States senate, and the dy ing embers of polygamy have again been fanned into glowing coals. .Judge Hebbard, in San Franoisoo, seems to be another man afflicted with "emotional insanity." He needs only to shoot somebody to prove it. The local option bill was again de feated in the lower house of the Wash ington legislature by a vote of 46 to 44. The man behind the plow is very much in evidenoe these beautiful March days. NOBLE PROFESSION DEBAUCHED. Iu the lengths to which attorneys have gone in the defense of Abraham Buet, the publio bas part explanation of why courts are sometimes in disre pute and of why they are often critici zed. Chicanery is not on any account au admissible means of defense. ' If it wero, law, which in contemplation is a noble profession, would be outlawry, and justioe would be a question of whiob lawyer in tbe case could be the bigger rascal. A criminal, though guilty, is en titled to a reasonable defense, but not an unreasonable one. Tbe law guar antees him a fair trial but does not expect unfair means to be invoked for his acquittal. Every lawyer' kuows, or ought to know, where the fair ends and tbe unfair begins, and J; hat point should be the limit of effort. Every for a Big BUSINESS Make Your appointments Here ethical consideration, legal or other wise, insists that a crime be not com mitted in order to free a criminal. To win at any cost with invooatiou of such methods as that policy means, may be effective for generous retain ers, but it briugs odiom, often unde served, upon the courts. 1 he criminal always bas tbe advau tago of tbe doubt, and that is enough without Eessianizing witnesses and hiring evidence. Specious pleas of insanity, where often there is no in sanity, afford a sample of tricks long overworked, and for which courts that are frequently blameless, are blamed. The trial judge cannot blot out the evidenoe, be cannot prevent jurors from becoming confused by insanity dodees, aud many a time is driven by counsel for defense- into proceedings that are a travesty on justice, and for prevention of which the court is help less. At San Franoisoo there is tbe spec tacle of a judge aud a prosecutor bent ou administering exaot justice, but so far they are powerless to do so. For weeks aud mouths the criminal has been at bar, tut by the loopholes and pretexts of tbe law, he bas held the court at bay. The fullness of bis guilt is acknowledged by the resort to every resource to slave off trial "and judgment, yet time rolls on with law and justice oheated. It is infamy in carnate and a crowning example of n noble profesion debauched and dishon ored. Portland Journal. COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATIONS. The Atbena Commercial Association has voted to disband. The Weston Commercial Association preserves a tentative organization for the sake of appearances, but has held no meeting for several months. The great trouble with organizations of this character in tbe country towns is that they start in with a whoop and end with a whis per. A beautiful town spirit is devel oped, only to gradually dwindle into indifferenoe. The town's business be comes nobody's business, except that of a dozeu or so ot faithful business men who must put up the money and do the work, whether the Association lives or dies. At both Athena and Weston they must continue to do so in order to keep things from going to pot. Weston Leader. Church of Christ V. E. Hoven, Minister. Servioes every Lord's day.
