SIR THOMAS Upton.

The announcement that Sir Thomas
Upton has decided to try again to win
the Americas cup will be received with
great pleasure by the public. The yacht
races for this trophy have always been
of national interest and the ver.est
'landlubbers" have taken pride in the
longmaintained supremacy of our build
ers and sailors. But when Sir Thomas
came over with his Shamrock, and DIS
closed his generous, sportsman.ike quail
ties, Americans not only fell in love with
him, but actually told each other that
loss of the cup to him could be endured
with excellent grace.
This was a tremendous, but fully de-
served compliment to Sir Thomas. He
showed his appreciation in defeat by de-
claring that. although the race was lost,
he had won something more valuable
than the Americas cup-the cordial es-
TEEN of the American people. He is
thrice welcome to come again for a try
at the cup, ard more than one American
will be tempted to hope that he will win
At any rate, if our boat has to be de-
feated. every one, from yachtsman to
landsman, would rather lose to Sir
Thomas than to any other Englishman.

court to the matter, but Republican at
torneys, actuated by politics and obeying
orders from washington, have deliberate
ly defeated all such designs In one In
stance Secretary Gage himself, who is
not judicial officer, decided case off,
hand, and refused to allow it to get into
court. The supreme court must wait for
subordinate officers to act, and the lat
ter have had no difficulty in keeping it
waiting for several months already, in
spite of the earnest efforts4of response
be persons. to bring. test cases to the at
tention of the court. If these political
attorneys can do this before election, they
can do it afterward, and for a long time
afterward. Therefore, Mr.. Harrlsons as
surance does not go far toward assuring
speedy correction of the grave depart
ure from right principles The trusts
dictated the departure dictated the delay
that has already taken place in bringing
the matter before the supreme court, and
will no doubt further delay if they can
retain their servants in political power.

higher price for hogs and cattle! He de-
-clares the farmers cannot be fooled, but
those who can be viii perhaps be proper
ly awed in contemplating the power OF g.
trust that can raise the price of, not only
it's own product, but also of hogs and
cattle. 1t is freely admitted that the
trust has put an unreasonable price on
lumber to the farmers who build barns,
and cattle Sheds but the kind-hearted
combine first took care to raise the price
of cattle and hogs SO the farmers could
more easily pay the tribute. Mr.. Shen=
ard says the farmers can't be fooled,
but he evidently considers them the veri-'
est simpletons.
Mention is made of the starting up of
Minneapolis sawmills, which resulted in
an Immediate advance in the Western
part of the district of the price of coarse
feed" Wonderful! The relation between
mill and the price of coarse feed in the
southern part of the state will not be
clear to the most intelligent farmers,
but it seems like rubbing it into the lum-.
crease, also. What are the farmers
feeding their hogs and cattle with? Fine
feed? Do they not use coarse feed ex-
clusively? Here is a Republican COM
mitteeman and corpora ton attorney tell
ing the farmers that they ought to feel
fortunate, and thankful to the lumber
trust because, although the combine has
raised the cost of barns and cattle
sheds, and of the coarse feed nesded
by the animals in the sheds, the extra
price of cattle and hogs enables them to
meet the additional expense. The farm.
ers may well pray to be delivered from
any further increase in the price of cat
tie and hogs as long as the trusts are
so keen-scented for such increases and
have the power to divert what IS right
fully the farmers into their own Golfers
The combines are charging the farmer
''all the traffic will bear just now,
but unless they are discouraged they may
become too enthusiastic and forget to
leave him enough for seed. The lumber
trust thinks the farmers will stand 81
a thousand feet of pure extortion and
vote for the Republican congressman in
the First district, who is responsible for
the tax. If the trust has guessed right,
and if the First district indorses the trust
representative In congress, lumber will
be still higher during the next four years,
regardless Of the price of cattle and hogs.

make its appearance Oct. 20.
Maurice Hewlett's next novel erich
ard Yea and Nay" is to be published in
a few weeks by the Macmillan company.
The subject of the story will be the life.

Richard the Lion Hearted The char
acter of the narrative will be somewhat
on the lines of c!lanson de geste.
When The Reign of Law" came out
the other day the Bookman prophesied
for religious novels new and vigorous
lease of life. The same novel seems to
have walked up the school men, one Of
whom, the head of well known high
school, looks beyond the admirable and
interesting story to the great value OF
what he considers its forceful presenta-
ton of scientific problems the solution
of which has perplexed so many thinkers
on each side of the Atlantic during the
past fifty years.

It has many we'll known names among
its contributors, but the fact that it
omits all titles to distinction and gauges
all matter admitted to its pages solely
on the score of merit is source of en-
courag ement and inspiration to many
writers familiar with the methods of the
older, weather and much more widely
known magazines. from which they are
debarred by an idolatrous reverence for
reputation. This is one of the rea-
sons the Optimist has become popular
because names are subornated to quality
