ME KING CAN DO NO WRONG
The Common Custom of Misapplying
This Familiar Phrase.
It is astonishing how frequently the
familiar phrase, "The king can do em
wrong,". is misapplied. It is sup-
posed to be the motto of an unlimited
despotism and in sonic way associated
with the doctrine of the divine right
of kings. Representative Fowler uses:
the phrase in this sense in his recent
ettack on the speaker of the House.
Nothing could be further from the
'real meaning of the phrase. It is the
symbol of a system to which the sov.
.ereign reigns but does not rule. No-
where can it be more fittingly applied
than to the Engtish Government. The
king can do no wrong simply because
ilt is his ministers who do right or
wrong. and when the people are dis-
satisfied eviSln the ministers they change
them, not him. He simply expresses
elle will of the dominant party. During
!her protracted reign Queen Victoria
thanged parties a half a score of times;
not because she 'hanged her mind, but
!because she was the simple mouthpiece
of the party that bappened to be in
power, President Taft can do vrroseg,
neeause his cabinet eccording to the
theory of the; constitution, are merely
secretaries who follow his instructions
and carry his will into effect. If they
tlo wrong he ie responsible for it, for be
ran nisplace them at any monent. Be
has absolutoeseggeentiveo power, only
partially modified by possible sena-
torial action, It was for attempting
to exercise • this undoubted constitu-
'atonal right that an enraged congress
.,ought the impeachment of Andrew
nohnson. Fortunately seven Republican
%senators helped defeat this revolution -
',try measure. Although they were
politically slaughtered, the right of the
president to control his cabinet has
never been seriously called in question.
In England it is said that the lord
ehancellor is the "keeper of the king's
coneekinee." If this nail referred to
his private and personal ethies there
have been Englieh monarchs who
would have made hie lordship's office no

CATHOLIC CONVERTS IN 1908,
The Record Shows That There Were
28,709 in U., S.
The record of conversions to the Catholic
Church during the last year, as revealed from
official and carefully compiled figures be -
lore the Congress of Missionaries at Wash-
ington. indicates the tremendous progress the
Church is making throughout the Country.
The statisticians of the apoatonc 'Mission
House place the number of cnoverts for 1008
at the great figure of 28,709. These figures
were received from the report of chancery
officesand while sonde few returns aro miss-
ing. still with these few exceptions that fi-
gure. 23,709, represents the aggregate of adult
baptisms la all the dioceses of this country.
1906, in preparation for the congress of
that year, there were found to be 25,035 con-
verts. Two years later the number had
grown to 28,709, or 8,644 more. In 1906 it was
difficult to get exact figures, for in many
chancery officers there was no note taken
of converts at all. In some dioceses theY
were a negligible quantity. Since the con-
gress of 1906 tile idea had so grown that with
very little difficulty accurate results have
been secured.
In compiling the returns the impresslen
hao grown that quite a. percentage of con-
verts are never recorded. None of the con-
verts who have been validly baptized as Pro-
testants and therefore received into the
Church dis simple profession of faith aro in-
cluded in the list, and also a percentage of
adults baptized on reception into tho Church
are not recorded for some reason or another.
Probably 10 per cent, would cover these cate-
gories,

fell that we are well whishin the mark.

Sixty years ago a poor Indian farmer
boy was married. After the ceremony

sant: "Here is • five dollar*. It is every

A few weeks ago 1 stood en the big-
gest farm in the world and let my eye
lose itself In the dietanee of a six thou-
sand 'acre cornfield. The undulating
corn riding up the slope of a hill and
dropping softly over made me think of
some placid green sea. Turning to David
Rankin I looked at him and marvelled
at the romance of a mere farmer.
"How did you do it?" I asked of the
world's most extensive farmer.
"Early and late," he answered, smil-
ing.

LAND "TIRE."
A Subject in Which Every Farmers
Should Take an Interest.

What makes the land tired?
Farmer Jones is 'worried. His fields
are not nearly so productive as they
used to be. His corn does not yield so.
many bushels to the acre, and even the
potatoes show lessened crops.
This sort of thing' tells on the bank
account. Farmer jones judges, fiem all
Ito tan learn, that the soil is becoming
exhausted—in other words, that so much
of the plant food it originally onitain-
ed has been taken out of it by oft -re-
peated cropping that is in a measure
used up. To re -supply it with plant food,
he buys and contributes to the land
quantities of expensive fertilizers. They
fail to produce the hoped-for result, and
then the unhappy farmer comes to the
melancholy conclusion that his acres are
"worn out"—that is to say, 'rendered in-
fciatpaabbietulereforrtehe.efuture of yielding pros
Such "worn out" lands colnprise a
large part of the State of Virginia.
They cover metenaive areas in New Eng-
land and elsewhere in the east. So hope-
less are they considered for agriculture
that they can often be purehased for a
mere song. Abandoned farms —forsak-
en merely because they are no longer
productive—nay be found seattered all
over those sections of the country.
And yet there is nothing eeally the
matter with thee farms—at all events
nothing that ought to be very difficult
to remedy. Their soil is. just as good,
and capable of as abundant it, fruitful.

that, through tack of proper Ilse and
treatrnett, chemital substances of a poi-
sonous nature have aeoumulated in it. It

The discovery of the "soil" toxins,"
as they are called, represents one of

Glass Walls for Fruit Trees.
An interesting experiment in fruit
growing has been recently carried out by
the Count de Choiseul, and described in
Cosmos. When a south wall is used for
fruit trees the north side of the wall Is
practically wasted as far as fruit Is con-
eerned. Count do Choiseul has used a
glass wall, and grown fruit trees on both
sides. The produo on the north side is
little inferior to that on the south. A
photograph shows heavily fruited pear
trees on both sides of the wall, The
wall, 60 feet long and 61/e feet high, had
15 pear trees planted on each side, In
1907, 134 pears, weighing 91 pounds, were
gathered on the south side of the wall,
and 109, weighing 77 pounds, on the
north side.. The variety grown was the

of English Agrieulture," began his great
apicultural work about 1776 on au es-

'all you will nee will be ow blade or

that"; in been it was little better than
a ra,blit warren. He transformed the
bleak, bare countryside by planting fifty
acres of trees every year until he heel
3,000 acres well covered, and in 1832 had
probably the unique experience of em-
barking in a Alp which was built of
oak grown front the acme he had him-

During the short time that preceded
IIis death, He uttered many wonders
ful prophecies, and performed many sig.
nifieant works, one of which was the
judgment executed upon a barren fig
tree, Murk xi. This hes been a stumbl-
ing block to many, because it dietinetly
says, "the time of figs was not .yet."
Why was title tree se) dealt with? Fig
trees produce their fruit before they put
out their leaves. ThiS tree
w
ranee of all others as far as ailaispinlayaodi
leaves. sBut it had no fruit, it was bar-
ren, .This tree was doubtless prepared
by God to serve as an objeet lesson for
all time. It typified the epirituat condi-
tion of the Jews as a untion, They had
ninch formal religion, church -going,
fasts, feaste, ceremonies, but not the
fruits of righteousness. "Except your
ighteousnees shall exceed the righteous-
ness of the Scribes and Pharisees, ye
shall in no wise enter the Kingdom of
Heaven," are then -words of our Lord.
Our Lord "hungered," and seeing this
fig tree with leaves, looked for fruit, but
found none, Then He pronounced. judg-
ment on it: "No man eat fruit of theo
henceforward forever," (to this age, em-
phatic Diuglott', and it withered away.
The hungering of our Lord's heart
to save His nation is shown by His
weeping over the city (people) hastening
blindly to a doom of age -lusting sun
tering. "How often would I have gath-
ered thy children together, even as a
hen .gathereth herchickens under her
wings, and ye would not, (be gathered).
Your house is left unto you desolate.
Yo shall not see Me henceforth till (a
definite time), ye shall say, "Blessed is
He that cornett' in the name of the
Lord,' (what the people had said of
tIim, and with which the priests found
fault) Matt. xxiii.
In the Lord's parable of the barren
fig tree, WO have a word picture of the
same judgment of and sentence pro,
flounced upon the nation. "Behold these
three years (the time of His ministry
t� His nation). I come seeking fruit on
this fig tree mot find none, Cut it down,"
Luke xiii. John the Baptist had also
declared, "The axe is laid to the root of
the tree. Every tree that bringeth Lot
forth 'good fruit shall be cut down and
cast into the fire." But our Lord del
not cast off His station forever. "God
forbM," says Paul. Romans xi. But He
foretold the siege and captnre ef Jer-
usalem, the destruction of the •inimple
and the treading of Jerusalem by tbe
Gentiles till (a definite time), the times

With the fig tree as a type of the
Jewish 'nation how significant are our
Lord's words, "when the fig tree branch
become% tender and putteth forth
leaves, ye now that summer is at
hand." The Zionist movement among
She Jews shows the reviving of the
withered fig treo, the restoration of
ptheleicajeT to favor, and therefore, the
endiug of the times of the Gentiles, mho
win come under judgment and discip-
line, as the Jews have during this long
It is said to have been the custom for
She .Jews in 'Jerusalem to assemble ev-
ery Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock (the
time of our Lord's crueifixion), out-
side the wall of the old temple area, and
to wail and pray for restoration. And
now, after 1,839 years exclusion, the
Jews have been permitted, by the edict
of the Young Turk Government, to pass
beyond that wall, The prophecies are ben
in,g fulfilled, "before the face of all peo-
ple."

"We are living, we are dwelling,
