Amopg other things in reference to the president’s attempt to throttle the free speech of the press by threatening to sue that paper for libel The World says: “Mr. Roosevelt officially pro poses to use all the power of the greatest government on earth to cripple the freedom of the press on the pretext that the government itself has been libeled-and he is the government “No other living man ever so grossly libeled the United States as ;does this president, who l)€smirehes congress, buildozcs judges, assails Vo integrity of courts, slanders ,-ivate citizens and who has shown ,*nisHf the mast reckless, unscrup-■ 'Hons demagogue whom the Ameri- Au. p<pie cvAr trltst < •(f with great potvcrHnd authority. “We say this, not in j in sincere sorrow.

JFTt makes ears at the ex pense .erf stalks, instead of stalks at the pence of ears. Tl#method is nothing new in this county. Years ago when John R. Lewis farmed here, it is well known that he was a successful corn-grower, and that his success was due to his using the very system that is now called the Williamson method. At the outset, he dwarfed (\nd, hyplacing the princi pal' part of the manure in the balk, reserved it to feed the cars. Hut it hMsmall matte 1 who gets the credit orPjtigiuating the system. M hat thJ Sjjpth needs is more corn, and she wilt get it if the farmers adopt the systenf referred to in this article. —Sparta . .
