When President Roosevelt was on his
stumping tour, he declared, in his
speech at Cincinnati, that anthracite
coal was on the free list. All of the
republican spell binders echoed the
same declaration. The democrats
showed that anthracite and bitumi-
nous coal we're both subject to duty
under the Dingley tariff law; they were
denounced as prevaricators. Election
is now over and President Roosevelt
acknowledges that he was mistaken
and recommends in his message that
the duty be removed from anthracite
coal. 1t is now up to a republican con-
gress to pass such a bill; but so far no
steps have been taken to that end. 1t
is well to inquire why bituminous coal
should not also be placed upon the free
list, especially as the coal barons are
making preparations to export coal to
Mediterranean ports to compete with
foreign coal in those markets.

THE PRESIDENT EVADES.
Roosevelt Cringes Before the FrOwn
of the Managers of Protected
Industries.

1t is well established that Col. Roose-
welt led the charge up San Juan hill
with splendid courage. President
Roosevelt attacking the evils of the
high tariff carries a sword of lath and
keeps a timorous eye to the rear. BE
says in his annual messages:
IF the tariff laws as a whole work we'll
and if business has prospered under them
and is prospecting, it is better to endure for
a time slight inconvenience and Unequal
tiles in some schedules than to upset busi-
ness by too quick and too radical ~changes.'
Here the old evasion is put forward
once more, says the Chicago Daily
News (ind.). The policy of the repup-
lican party has been in recent years TO
permit the manufacturers practically
to write the tariff schedules to suit
themselves. The inconvenience has all
been on the side of the consumer. When
the question of revising these precious
schedules comes up in any political
campaign the shout is raised: Let the
tariff be revised by its friends!" After
the election the party settles back and
signs: 1--WE dare not touch it," 1t is
better, the leaders say, with oily satis-
faction, to endure for a time anything
that you may happen to find unjust in
the tariff than to upset business. En-
dure how long? While the protected
manufacturers have breath leftin their
bodies will they not continue to cry
you are upsetting us!" if any one
proposes to take away by tariff re-
vision the smallest fraction of their
chance to make large profits?
Everybody knows that the present
profits in protected industries are
enormous. Everybody knows that the
prices of commodities, with remark
ably few exceptions, are now extraor-
dinarily high. Yet the president OF
the United States lends himself to the
purposes of the greedy pets of the
Dingley tariff and says with SNUG CON
placency: Keep on enduring it. To
give you relief would upset the fellows
who are gouging you" He fears the
effects of "too quick" or "too radical'
changes. In the name of all that is
wonderful, does he fear that a repub-
lican congress would eviscerate any
protected industry? Have we not
heard throughout the recent campaign
that the republicans, being the friends
of the tariff, could be trusted to revise
it properly? Now the president tells
them to let it alone for fear they might
upset somebody.
The president is a man of courage.
Why should he cringe before the frown
of the protected industries? If he must
do so at least let him cease to blow
hot and cold on this subject. Let him
take the manly course and be a high
tariff advocate to the limit of that
peculiar type of frenzy or else let him
set about demanding proper and wise
reforms of the tariff such as President
Mckinley in his great speech at Buffalo
declared to be necessary. If the friends
of the high tariff do not reform it the
enemies of that sacred law will do the
reforming a little later.

OF BEES.
The Busy Honey Makers Have n Per-
fcctly Organized Government in
Their Colonies.

"The people who raise bees for
commercial purposes seldom study
the natural history of the insect, and
usually fail to learn the internal
mechanism of the most nearly per-
feet commonwealth which exists"
was the remark of r. W. Cowan, OF
London, recently in Seattle. Mr..
Cowan is one of the foremost nat
nral-history students in the world,
making a specially of the bee FAM
lily, although he devotes much atten-
ton to other forms of insect life.
He is the author of textbooks in use
in the colleges and universities OF
America and England, and of books
Of research. He is a member of sew
eral natural-history societies on both
side of the Atlantic.
For several months MI. Cowan has
been studying the insects of C%alifor-
MIA, as there the temperate and the
tropic overlap each other, and
many specimens peculiar to each may
be found. He is now on his way to
the Canadian Rockies to collect still
other specimens. When asked to am
plify his first expression, he said:
"a colony of bees is the study al
most of a lifetime in all its intrica-
cies. Undoubtedly there is no other
insect in the world as valuable to
man, as the bee carries fertilizing pol
len among the blossoms of the fruit
trees to 20 times the amount of any
other agent, besides supplying the
markets of the world with the honey
which in all times has been regarded
as a delicacy. The home life of the
bee is one of the most perfect g
lation. They are clean in their hab-
it's and enforce a rigid system of dis
cipline. Their industry is proverb-
ial.
"An ordinary colony is composed
of from 10000 to $4,000 bees. At the
head of the colony Is a queen. Her
early life is a great care to her work
ers, as she is carefully fed and tend
ed. Her growth is complete in about
II days. In the hives are the
several hundred drones, or male
bees, with one of which she mates.
She lays the eggs which replen-
ish the colony, several thousand
each day. At the end Of the eason
the useless drones are killed by the
workers, and their bodies are carried
from the hive. It is sometimes said
that the queen bee has the manage
ment of the hive, but this not SO. The
government is carried on entirely by
the working bees.
Another common mistake is the be-
lief that the bees extract honey from
Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1902-12-18

the flowers. That which is taken
from the blossoms is converted into
honey by the bee. First it is nothing
more than cane sugar. The bee makes
honey and gives it the aroma which
distinguishes the real article from this
imitation. The material for the honey
is gathered by the workers. These
are of neuter gender, but really are
the undeveloped females. The life of
these is about six weeks during the
summer. They gain their maturity
in p days. They travel to and from
the flowers at about the rate of GO
miles an hour and make from 30 to 40
trips during a single hour. When it
is remembered that there are many
thousands of bees constantly at work
it will be seen what an infinitesimal
quantity is carried by each bee each
trip. The bees knowledge of direc-
ton is remarkable. No time is lost
in returning again to the flower upon
which it has been working, though the
distance may be three miles and the
flower may be one in a great field.
"The service which bees render to
orchardists is extremely great. 1
have known orchards which were en-
tirely barren previous to the intro
duction of a few colonies of bees. The
body of the bee is covered with hair,
and the pollen dust adheres to its
feet and body. When it reaches an
other flower some of the %fertilizing
material is left and enriches the bios
som. Wild bees are valuable to rem
der this service, but the domestic col
onies are better. To the anatomy of
the bee I have given much study. I
chose this insect as a subject for
study because of it's commercial i'm
portance, though I have devoted my
time exclusively to the natural his
tory phase"
Mr.. Cowan says, according to the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer, that in
these days of profound learning
among scientists of all branches it is
necessary to be a specialist. No man
can know all about everything, and a
lifetime is all too short to master the
details of the life and habits of one
insect. Mr.. Cowan has given the
whole of a long life to research along
a restricted line of natural history.
In California, on this trip, he CLASH
fed 40 new varieties of bees, and add.
ed them to one of the largest collec.
ton in existence.

WOn,t Touch the Trusts.

The bill introduced by Senator Gull
lom to amend the antitrust law pro-
hibits interstate m in articles
made by trusts, the penalty for VIOLA
ton being a fine of from $500 to S 5000.
The meat in the bill is in the proposed
appointment of so special agents to
act as spies to report any infringement
of the law. What a snap these ap-
pointments would be for the henchmen
of republican congressman of the Rath-
bone and Nicely stripe! But ''the boys"
will have to wait some time before the
trusts will be called upon to put up
the stuff" to avoid prosecution. Sen
ator Cullom and the republican major
ity have no intention of really reform
ing the trusts or the tariff and the food
of bills that have already been intro
duced are only intended to please their
constituents. Since President Roose-
velt's conservative" message has been
made public a good many antitrust
bills have been held up for revision on
more conservative lines and more will
follow the presidential tip, that there
is to be nothing DOING at this ses-
sion, and will go into the waste basket.
The voters who expected republican
action against the trusts or the protec-
tive tariff will again be disappointed.
