A Farmer in Distress,

Jim Beck was in Princeton last Fri
day soliciting contributions from the
business men for John Bell, young
farmer who lives west of Zimmerman,
and who suffered quite a loss by fire
some time ago. He was at work at the
barn and when he went to supper he
left the lighted lantern standing in the
barn. In some manner it was upset and
set fire to the barn, which was totally
destroyed together with ten head of
cattle and five horses, besides lot of
hay and feed. The loss is estimated at
$4,000 on which Bell had not cent of
insurance. His house was saved. One
of the teams that was burned had been
sold few days before but had not been
delivered.

REPLY TO DIR. BATEsoN.
Editor of The Tribune.

Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: A charge against Christian Science
Is made in your issue of July 26, which
should not be allowed to pass unan-
swered. The article is headed "Dr Bate
sons Discovery" and the announcement
follows that DR.. j. c. Bateson, of Scran-
ton, has discovered and demonstrated
that the power to heal the sick, accredited
ance, hypnotism, etc, is the same in each
case"
Permit me, at the outset. to question
the use of the word "discovery" In this
connection. Webster tells us that to dis
cover is ito obtain for the first time
sight OF. knowledge Of" What DR.. Bate
son claims as his discovery is In reality
an old charge, which has been brought
again Christian Science from the time of
Its first presentation, This charge, how
ever. never has been or can be- success
fully maintained. and can only be brought
against Christian Science by those who
utterly fall to grasp its principles. The
opinion OF such critics Is of as much value
In determining the truth of this matter
as an opinion concerning mathematics Of
fered by one who has never solved q sim
gle problem in arithmetic.
In CHASING Christian Science among the
"superstitious notions and fads," DR..
Bateson failed to consider that Christian
Science is believed In and Iracticed by
many people whose ability to discriminate
between fact and fiction Is fully equal to
his own. They do not claim 'supernat-
ural Intervention" as he charges, but
they do claim and demonstrate that an

understanding Of God is "very present
help In time of trouble" The practice of
Christian Science Is not limited to heal
ing the sick. Realizing as all must who
take our Masters words for guide, that
sickness Is but the consequence of sin,
the Christian Scientist deals his hardest
blows directly against sin, thereby cor
recting the tendency to be sick and suf-
fer
It is to be expected that critics will
arise on every side to attack this teach
ing. History ever repeats Itself. We are
told that Jesus was accused OF casting
out devils through Beelzebub. Through
out the old and new testaments prophets
and apostles were assailed and esoteric
magic employed to show that the carnal
mind Is able to bring forward signs and
wonders which would deceive If possible
the very elect. If, as DR.. Bateson inti-
mates, there Is but one kind of power un-
derlyng all that borders on the so-called
supernatural and that Is hypnotism, the
natural inference Is that Jesus and his
disciples were mesmerists, wilfully de-
ceiving their followers. This theory do
not believe the doctor would care to fos-
ter. 1t is the logical sequence to his pro-
position, however.
The claim made by Doctor Bateson that
he has given years to the study or this
subject Is open to question. He may nave
made exhaustive search among the phe-
nomena of mortal mind magic, but his
own deductions concerning Christian
Science prove him ignorant of its method
and works. The only way to explain this
Science is to first learn how to demon
strate 1t. Those alone who can demon
strate 1t are qualified to speak for 1t, ana
invite Dr. Bateson to approach the sub
ject with this object in view, If he wishes
to understand 1t. Many Christian Scien-
lists who were formerly physicians. dis
covered this necessity, and are today
sharing it's benefits.
Very truly yours,
Albert T.. Miller

will teach you, and IL costs nothing to

Dirty hands may also carry the typhoid
poison. Therefore wash your hands care
fully before handling any article of food
or drink.
Damp and unclean Easements and yards
and uncean premises and surroundings
weaken the health so that typhoid is more
readily contracted aid Ia more severe.
Therefore clean up. Get rid of all refuse
and filth. Open up drains and make
sewer connections tight. Fresh burned

1t should be freely used in such places.

The point Is made that If proper pre-
cautions were taken at slckrooms there
could be no more cases OF this disease,

vitriol where typhoid exists.

are civilized communities, and each can
trust that accused persons who may be
rendered up will get the benefit in coun-
try Of trial of fair hearing and humane
laws. Canada has certainly no desire
to extend hospitality to or be har-
borage for wrong-doers from the United
States. If It be possible to commit a
crime In either country by which the
criminal enjoys great monetary gain
and yet Is not amenable to the extradi-
tion laws, 1t Is time the treaty was
amended. In any case 1t Is to be hoped
that an appeal will be heard, SO as to
give not the falntest color of suspicion
that the ancient character Of this land
for the strict and impartial adminis>'
tration Of the laws has in any measure
passed away"
This Is the language of enlighten-
ment. Should Greene and Gaynor get
away from punishment on account Of
chicanery in Canada, the loss to the
United States would in the long run be
far less than the loss to Canada. 1t
would be unfortunate on this side OF
the border to see American criminals
shielded on the other since such state
of affairs would have "a tendency to
stimulate crime. But it would be better
that Canada should have our criminals
than that we should be burdened with
their maintenance. A criminilization of
Canada's social and business life
recruits from the Yankee under
world would bear much more disas-
trously upon the Dominion than 1t
could possibly bear upon u.s. The COM
mon sense of the Canadian people can
be depended upon to see this. The
party which remains blind to it will not
long retain office.

$1,29S, ,064, 900 greater in 1901 than in
1896. Thus the deposits in the savings

uncertainty by the enormous sum of

statistician in one Of the depart
ments in Washington said the other
day: THE Democratic stump speakers
sneeringly say that the Republicans
claim every big crop as result of pro-
lection or Republican legislation, there
by robbing Divine Providence and
ures show that 1t is fact that during
Republican administrations there are
larger crops and better prices than
there are in Democratic times"
This is easily explained. The in
telligent farmer, in connection with the
rest Of the country, has no faith in
Democratic administration or promises,
consequently during Democratic admin
istrations less wheat. corn, oats and
other crops are planted. This is proven
by official figures. The farm value OF
the corn crops for the four years of
Cleveland's first administration, from
1885 to 1889, aggregated s2,569, ,653, $50.
In the four years OF Harrison's adj
mlnistration which followed. the farm
value of the corn crop aggregated s2,-
S3o,9SS,13S, an increase of more than
$250,000,000 over the first Cleveland ad-
ministration. The same condition was
repeated in the second Cleveland ad-
ministration and the following Nc
Kinley administration. In the Nc
kinley administration years the farm
value of corn increased s250,O0O, 900 over
that of the preceding Democratic ad-
ministration.

For The Tribune by Walter j. Ballard.
"The protective tariff is not the mother
Of trusts, though 1t is the parent of con-
ditions that make it profitable for capital
to combine, and congenial for labor to
organize" Secretary Shaw put the case
clearly and forcibly when he stated this.
While it is true that our protective tarin
has rendered possible the present I'M
mense combinations of industries. 1t is
equally true that without protection,
there would be but few, II any industries
worth combining, nor would labor have
anything worth organizing to protect
They tell us that protection breeds
trusts" If so, why is it that free trade
England covers nearly every important
industry by a trust, and is giving birth
to new ones with frequency? What tariff
originally and mainly built UP our sugar
and oil combinations? System and econ
omy in manufacture, not tariff, is the an
swer.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier has expressed the
opinion to a prominent Partisan journal
list that trusts If properly managed, are
great benefits to all concerned, and that
''our age is dominated by powerful con-
centraton of interests. a vast grouping OF
forces and uniflcation of methods in all
branches of industry"
The trusts are to be the issue upon
which the reorganzed Democracy will
make it's campaign this year. 1t would
be unfair perhaps to ask Democratic
orator what trust the last Democratic ad-
ministration put out of business after be-
ing elected on a platform in which trusts
We're quite as vigorously denounced as
they were in the Democratic platform of
19O2.-Brooliville (Ind.) American.
Our Democratic contemporaries would
have us repose in the sweet belief that
they are valiantly fighting the trusts,
but when we read their editorials we are
forced to the conclusion that they have
simply busted off some of their old free
trade arguments and are now attempting
to foist them upon the country in a new
guise.-Waverly (Ohio) News.

The Presidents Trust Policy.

~ RADUALLY the lines OF the
presidents policy with ref
erence to trusts are being
formed. In his speech at
Providence, r. l., Saturday, and again
in Boston on Monday he put forth the
opinion that the problem of keeping
within bounds the great combinations
of incorporated capital which are in
these days dominating our commercial
life could not be successfully solved
without an amendment of the constitu-
ton giving to the federal government
control over corporations engaged in
interstate commerce. The burden of his
argument is that at present corpor-
alton may secure charter in a state
in which it has no intention of doing
business, and then, on the strength Of
the privileges thus secured, go into
other states and do business as it
pleases. He likens it to creature
without a creator, for the reason that
the creator lacks power Of control the
moment the creature crosses the state
line.
There are some who look upon his
declaration in favor of constitutional
amendment as an extraordinary piece
of radicalism. They forget that it Is
very little different from the solution
recently proposed by James B. Dill the
leading trust lawyer in the United
States. Mr.. Dill thought he could avoid
the necessity of amending the constitu
tion, but his method reached practic-
ally to the same end. He proposed a
national incorporation act applicable
for interstate business, not compulsory
but permssive, his idea being to make
federal charters so attractive to honest
men that in competition the elastic
state charters would lose caste and
become unpopular. Mr.. Dill's prescrip-
tion, in other words, is homeopathic,
while the president is inclined toward
allopathy and lots of it, but the end Is
identical, and the president himself ad-
mits that ~ may be necessary to do
some experimenting before exactly the
right adaptation of means to end shall
become plain.
In the meantime, the Democratic
anxiety to force an upheaval OF the
tariff will be weighed for what it is-a
familiar device Of party destitute of
other issues. The time is not far dis
tant when changing conditions will
compel readjustment of some of the
schedules of the Dlngley bill. That
measure was never meant to be eter-
nal. But it can be taken for granted,
we think, that the common sense of the
country Is sufficient to make sure that
the next revision of the tariff shall not
be performed by Democratic botchers
