What is Beauty? Question Of a
Blind Man."

Replied Aristotle. But Mrs. Sherwood
says that it Is dynamite In her article
which opens tho interesting pages Of the
July Cosmopolitan. Beauty Is always a
fascinating subject, and Mrs. Sherwood's
discussion is an especially interesting
one. That the July Cosmopolitan Is a
midsummer number Is shown In many
directions. Three short stories, includ-
ing one of sport and adventure, two travel
articles, and other light matter, make up
1913 pages Of charming summer reading.
The July Cosmopolitan marks the close
OF the first year since the revolutionary
announcement was made that the price
OF that magazine, already low, had been
cut to one-half OF three dollars a year.
All sorts OF predictions have come to be
unfulflled during the year-it would be
impossible to maintain the rate-the
quality would be lowered-the size would
be decreased. But even severe critics
admit that with each succeeding number
there has been betterment In the quality
OF articles and illustrations, and the size
has remained unchanged, except the al
ways growing advertising pages. The
magazine printed, for the six months en-
braced In Volume XVI, one million four
hundred and nineteen thousand copies,
an entirely unapproached record, and has
doubled It's already large plant Of presses
and binding machinery. The walls OF the
magazines new home are rapidly rising
at Irvington-o on the Hudson. Artistical-
ly designed by McKim, Mead d White,
the new building, with It's eight great
porticos, will be $40 feet long by 20 feet
wide, and one of the most perfectly light
cd buildings In the world, having 100 large
windows, each nearly double the size OF
the ordinary window opening.

July Crop Report.

The returns at hand indicate that
the wheat crop Of the state this
year will be about Is per cent less
than the crop of 1893. The re-
duction is entirely due to decreased
acreage. The farm statistics re-
turned by supervisors, so far as COM
piled, show q loss of Is per cent in
the southern and northern counties,
and of 10 per cent in the central.
The average yield per acre will fall
little if anything below the average
of q long series Of years. With the
crop yet standing correspondents
estimate as follows: Southern
counties, 1912 bushels; central
counties, 1914 bushels; northern

An Awful Power,

A very astonishing thing about
the present strike is the willing
ness of a great number of citizens
to submit their judgments and
worldly welfare to the discretion of
one man.
President Cleveland has very
much less power over the liberties
Of the country than President Debs.
Cleveland is surrounded with legal
limitations. Debs has none. Cleve-
land was elected after long discus
sion before the voters. Debs was
elected without any examination of
his qualifications.
In a state of war the President
Of the United States would not dare,
if he had the power, to stop CON-
MERGE and throw thousands of men,
directly and indirectly, out of EN-.
ployment. The embargo under
Jefferson, which aroused angry pro-
tests, was a trife when compared
to the locking up of the internal
commerce of the country as it
stands to-day. And it was only
with the consent Of Congress that
the embargo was imposed.
Debs may be a man of perfect in
tegrity and extraordinary know
ledge Of the affairs affected by the
strike. He ought to be. The
temptation to order a strike to get
rich by settlement would be too
much for most men. He is die

The Strike.

The great railroad strike ordered
by that fanatic Debs, is practically
dead, and the indications point to a
speedy revival of business. The
Debs program to have all the labor
organizations of the country 20 in
to general strike has met with
such fiat and persistent refusals as
to give that would-be king of labor
very significant rebuke. Debs
and many Of his followers are now
under arrest, and must answer to
the law of the land. We predict
that his reign of terror is at an end.

Notwithstanding the general
disturbances of business during the
past two weeks, caused by the great
railroad strikes, the clearances of the
banks of SO of the largest cities in
the United States, according to
Bradsteets' for last week, were about
40 per cent greater than for the
corresponding week last year, thus
showing that the general business
of the banks of the country is far
better than a year ago.

Senator Mills in his recent grea

Senator Mills in his recent great
speech on the tariff showed that our
labor is the cheapest in the world
and that of England is next. Ac-
cording to his statistics the labor
cost of $500 worth of product
here is $347, while in England it is
1886; in France, 1904; in Germany,
$685.. There are two ways of look
ing at this question and wherein
many people are deceived by the
specious arguments of the protec-
tionists. Wages in our country
when measured by the rate are the
highest in the world, but when
measured by the product they are
the lowest.-Ann Arbor Argus.
