penman of the Salisbury Star, quoting

1t affords the Star much pleasure to say
that it can agree with the Commercial on
every word contained in the foregoing tribute
to editor J. b. Oder But what will the poor
Forum man have to say about it? The
Forum man has been accusing the Star of
throwing boQuets at brother Oder, and it fill
ed his small soul and smaller brain with envy
to such an extent that the Forum has for
some time been throwing mud at this paper
with one hand, while with the other it threw
bOquets at the Commercial for occasionally
helping it along. But now it seems that the
Commercial is also throwing boquets at broth
er Oder, which the Forum thinks is a crime
and there is no telling how soon "Darwinian
Davy' may go to throwing mud instead of
boquets at the Meyersdale print shop.

His Full Duty.

Col. George A. Pearre, congressman
elect of the people of this district,
headed delegation which visited the
Tin trust headquarters in Chicago, and
placed one of the officers of that favor
ed institution on the rack for an I'M
happy hour or two.
1t seems the Trust, with a bon homie
born of governmental endowment to
do as it likes, closed the Cumberland
mill and threw number of workmen,
for whom all tariffs are ostenslbly
made, out OF employment.
With admirable courage ard com
mendable freedom from fine cut dis
tinctions Col. Pearre read the riot act
to the Trust. He said, i'll substance,
that unless operations are resumed in
the Cumberland mill, his sense of duty
will compel him to smash one of the
broadcast, widest, longest and strongest
principles of his political life.
In palmer words, he would introduce
an amendment to the Dingley Act re-
pealing the tariff on something
hitherto unheard of in the long history
of legislative protection of American
labor.
The threat must have been a pro-
found surprise to the Trust, as it was
to the legions of both the gallant
colonel's political friends and enemies.
''Can it be possible p exclaimed the
one in chorus, and to the other the
idea of protecting labor by repeal
ing any part of law enacted for the
protection of labor was so novel that
it transcends all the most optimistic
Wilsonian democrat ever dreamed.
While the JOURNAL believes Col.
Pearre did exactly the right thing and
should stick to his pledge, his action
is an exhibition of selfshness that
hardly COMFORTS with his Office as
popular proxy. Col. Pearre is repre-
sentative Of the people of the United
of Maryland, especially when he I'M
dertakes tariff legislation. Certainly
he is representative of the people of
the district rather than the people of
Cumberland.
This brings US to the point, evident
to all readers of the Chicago delega-
TONS report, that the Trust has dis
played less concern, if possible, for
the welfare of the thousands of con
sumers of tin than for the few hun
dreds of producers.
If. therefore, its privileges under
high protection have been abused to
the injury of the hundreds of the latter
class so far as to call Col. Pearre to
their courageous defence, why should
he not place himself also in the van of
assault upon the high prices levied by
the Trust upon the many thousands of
his constituents
In short, whether the Trust opens
the tin mill or not, why not in the in
terest of his Georges Creek constituents
all consumers of tin, assail its pre-
rogative to control both the supply
and price of their product?

Big Corn.


That there is big corn in Nebraska
this year seems to be beyond doubt
Gabriel Jetfries, of Gage county, visit
ing his brothers and sisters here, re-
ceved the other day from his daugh-
ter the following collection of local
happenings clipped from Nebraska
papers:
Evan Iverson was badly crippled at Put
nam Tuesday by corn blade blowing from
a stalk and striking him across the small of
the back DR.. Poe is the attending physician
While John BIerling and Adam Folkster
were husking an ear of corn near Odell yes
terday, Bierlng let his end Of the ear drop ac-
cidentally and Folkster's foot was badly
crushed.
Alpheus Werts, living near Fernwald, in
the southeastern part of the State, while
climbing corn stalk to club out coon, fell
twelve feet and sustained broken thigh.
The coon escaped.
The project of using corn stalks this year
for railroad ties has stimulated the saw mill
industry in southern Gage county. a num-
Der Of lumbermen from Minnesota are al
ready on the ground looking for jobs.
George Brown, farmer living near Colon
Neb., while swapping corn for feed Thursday
an ear from nearby stalk fell on his head,
cutting him so severely that it required six
stitches to close the wound.
Messrs II. b. Crandle 4 Co. are doing a
rushing business in the new corn wagon this
season. The boxes are built on the extern
sion pattern, with side elevators and derriCks
to hoist the ears of corn into the wagons.
1t is a little confusing to the grain men to
have to buy corn by the cord this season.
The ordinary scales were inadequate to pro
perly weigh the product and expert lumber
measures are utilized in measuring up the
corn as it is brought to market in big racks.
Alex StOneburger has secured patent for
a windlass corn husker. The ears are sawed
from the stalk and clamped into an open
windass frame and the crank revolved by
horse power. Strong rapidly revolving
spring knives cut the husk from the ear
without the slightest injury to the grain.
About 1000 ears can be husked per day by
this device. 1t is coming in popular favor
down on the reservation.
ALI Mccormick, of the Kansas City Pipe
Line company, is contracting for corn cobs of
this years growth to utilize as water mains
and drain tile. After the pitch is extracted
for cellulose the cobs are in excellent shape
for water and drain pipe. Mr.. Mccormick
says they are experimenting Oh the cobs for
smoke stacks, but their liability to burn on
the inside has decided the company to make
smoke stacks
