When Erin's sons went out to war
In stirring times of old,
They had no waving battle-flag
To lead their heroes bold,
But with them rode a harper gray,
Who bore a harp of gold.
The army camped at fall of night
Within a dewy glade,
The harper found a mossy couch
Beneath the blackthorn's shade,
And on a bed of shamrocks green,
His harp of gold he laid.
Beholdl a square of emerald silk
Next morn before him lay,
And on it, lo! his golden harp
Returned the sun's first ray.
The banner Ireland carries still
Upon St. Patrick's Day.

AN INSIDE VIEW
The Fergus County Democrat prints a letter, written at
the request of its editor by Representative Drinkard. This
letter is in review of the work of the Thirteenth assembly
with special reference to the defeat of the Drinkard high
way bill, one of the best road laws ever suggested, but it
discusses some of the general conditions which prevailed
at the legislature and is worth reading. Mr. Drinkard is
a democrat and his view is interesting on this account.
These paragraphs from his review constitute an excellent
characterization of the session's methods:
Unlike other sessions of the legislature, the division among the
members was not along party lines. There were four political parties
retresented in the house and three in the senate, but there were but
t\'w contending factions, the reactionaries and the progressives. On the
one side of the battle line stood those who represented the general
public; on the other side were the representatives of the Amalga
mated topper company and other large corporate interests of the state.
It is a fact generally conceded that the legislative branch of Montana
governmi nt has in the past been controlled by the large corporate in
terests of the state. The interests of these concerns have been well
cared for by the statutes tof the state in the past, and they were not
denindoling nlluchl rivw legislation at the hands of the Thirteenth
tssmmbiy. They were Iot fighting so much for increased privileges as
to hold what they had already gobbled. The representatives of these
lig business coincerns realized that the only hope they had of holding
11t ftrt two years hence deplenlded upon their being able to put
through a program of shami progressive legislation. They labored
faithfully to that end. and I must admit that, in the main, they ac
iomllllished their purpose. The corporations were represented in both
houses by a Itllnumber of able men who were given every assistance
that could he desired by able corporation attorneys.
The progressive membiers were men froml the rank and file of the
people. , ne:rly all of them Inexperienced in the arts and wiles of poli
ti's and unfamiliar with parliamentary procedure. But they were
ithonest, earnest and determined. They knew what they wanted. They
had a .t plan f procedure anld wilt hut few exceptions stood together
to the last. Thley wrote their own speeches, motions and resolutions,
If they gut any legal assistance in drawing their bills, had to pay for it
out of their own pockets.
The progressives met their first defeat when Dr. Macdonald was
elected speaker. Ills election was the result of a democratic caucus
held the evening before the house was organized. In the caucus,
the reactionaries had a majority of two or three, and when it came to
a vote in the house the progressive democrats felt morally obligated
to support the caucus nominee. The election of Macdonald was a
fatal misfortune to the progressive cause. Iie was a reactionary of the
strictest type. The rules adopted by the house gave him power to
name all the committees and to determine to which committee each bill
should go. No speaker should be permitted to exercise these two
powers.
There was but one party caucus held during the entire session, and
the writer hopes it will prove to he the last one ever to be held in
the state. Party caucuises are undlemnocratic. They invariably mliean
tile rule if the mlinority.
To my mind one of the most obnoxious evils that beset our legisla
tive body was the presence of so many lobbyists at the capital. These
lobbyists bring a tremendous influence to bear upon the members of
the legislature. They throng the lobbies of the hotels frequented by
the members of the legislature, gather in the corridors and cloak
rooms of the capitol, button-holing the members every time they leave
their seats, and frequently enter upon the floor of the house and the
senate and plead with the members at their seats, right at the time
when the votes are being taken. These lobbyists are men of ability
and well informed upon the subjects upon which they attempt to In
fluence the members. The legislator hears but one side of the qlues
tlion argued. The public, tile great majority of the people of the state,
have no lobbyists there. Their side of the question is not presented to
the law-maker. The natural result is but little legislation in the in
terest of the general public. The thing must be stopped before we
may hope for much just legislation.
thing for every local campaigner to
do is to study the outline of the law
which! was printed in The Missoullan
yesterday morning. Ignorance of tile
law is no excuse. This campaign
must be different from allny other that
was ever carried on by some of tile
local politicians whose habit has been

No scientist over received during his
life tilne more posit l e and gratifying
recognition of his woresults from the gen- t
eral publin as well as from scientific
sueieti, s than has 'Mr. Burbank within
the past 15 years. Before that time
his work was paved with diffh'ulties
as great as those experieneed by most
other sci-ntists. He suffered priva
tions of many kinds, and even now is
cocused by some persons of being at
mere chorlatal, who, by an adept use I
of printers' ink, has achieved undue i
credit for his work. 'Th, se detractors
are comparatively few, however, and I
the scientific men are disposed to I
credit most of the things he claims,
while thousands of enthusiastic ad- i
mirers are perhaps exaggerating his
attainments and giving him credit for c
work partially accomplished by other 1.
plant breeders.
Burbank's work is based upon scien- c
tific principles. lie has no secrets, and o
of each of his results he is ahle to d
de-ieontratg in a thorough lucid man- h
ner. While he has been pronounced
the greatest plant bre~der the world
has ever produced, he introduced no
special innovations in the methods dis
covered by Dr. Joachim ('amerius of
'Leipsic, who demonstrated the sexual
ity of plants in 1691. It was the recog
nition of this principle which made
possible the process of hybridization.
The first plant hybrid was produced in
1719 by Thomas Fairchild, an English
gardener, who crossed the sweetwilliam
with the carnation. Another English
man, Thomas Henry Knight, has been
called the father of plant breeding. His
work extended until 1838, and was
'based upon the scientific principles
recognized by Darwin and his fol
lowers. In all of the achievements of
Luther Burbank there has been no
radical d:parture from the methods of
these earlier men. Burbank's genius
lies in his wonderful patience and the
magnitude of his experiments. The
breeding of plant like the breeding of
animals is dependent upon crossing,
or the sacuring of new individual
plrogeny from parents of distinct
species. Miutations or changed forms
spring up generally from unknown
causes, as, for instance, when a col
ored flower yields White blossoms.
These mutations can ,be produced at
will by a careful study of their prod
ucts, as Luther Iturbank demonstrated
whben, by taking a yellow ipoppy upon
which h, noticed some crimson lines,
he increased its red in other genera
tions by selection, until he has now
b'een able to produce a field of crimson
popies in place of the goblin IEsch
scholtzia, which grows wild in such
luxuriance in ('alifornia.
It is doubtful if any scientist ever
has given to the iworld produicts of
graiiter practical value than are some
of thoso whic'h are credited to Luther
Burbank. Ilis first effort was towards
the improvement of the potato; to se
cure this he made his first great sac
rifice. Thirty-five years ago potatoes
'were roulln, comlparatively small and
most of them red-skinned. Now these
old-fashioned potatoes are difficult to
find. The whole world raises the Bur
bank potato, which is long in shape,
white skinned and several tiinas the
siz ' of the old-fashioned tuber. In his
work for the improvement of the po
tato Burbank accomplished three
things of universal 'benefit. .He in
ereased its siz., multiplied the number
which coull be produced in a single
hill, and imprloved the quality and
flavor. According to an estinmate made
by the delpartment of agriculturel the
Iturbank improved potato is adding
more than $17,000,000 annually to the
output of the country. It is as well
known abroad as at home, and a care
ful estimate gives the sum of $900,000,
000 as the value which it has added
during 30 years to the farm incomes of
the world.
So great has been the decrease in
the production of walnut trees that
their extinction seemed threatened and
the supply of black walnut lumber is
practically exhausted. Now Burbank is
offering to the lumbermen a new wal
nut tree which pissesses wonlldetrful l ad
vantages over the old. The old black
walnut tre . was slow of growth. It
took at least 20 years under good con
ditiions to iproduce a tree 25 feet high
and 18 inches in circumference. The
nlew iurbank walnut tree in 17 years
will reach a height of 80 feet and a
i-etu .itrenc ne U is.nnes. At a cost
of $2 a tree for planting this new wal
nut in 10 years will yield a lumber
value of $3,000 an acre. It is a fine
grained. hard wood, caplable of taking
a high polish in finishing. It is lighter
in shade than the old walnut, more
nearly resembling mahogany.
The results whlich IBurbank obtains
have been brought about by the large
numbllier of plants he has finder ob
servati(on in making a study, permit
ting hint a wide range of selection. In
stead of having a few square feet of
grloulnd or a few plLants ill pots, he uses
le'rs of groulnd, if necessary, in mak
ing a single test. Instead of having a
dozen or fifty hundred plants in mak
ing a given test, h, may have a million,
all of them simlilar. (ut of this mil
lion he mally, perllhaps, save only one
in thIe last sifting, but that one will be
the best of all. The rest are all likely
to he destroyed )by huge bonfires which
clear the grounld for other plants.

is apparent. It is claimed that an
acre of enatus plants will produce 200
tons of food value. A corn production I
of a ton and a half Is considered good,
and a iive-ton yield of alfalfa is ex
ceptional. The lei'ves of the cactus
may be used as forage as acceptably
as alfalfa. If the product is utilized
for the manufacture of wood alcohol,
th yield is estimated as amounting to
$1,2040 value p1 r acre as against $35 for
