WaNTED-A LEADER.

Northern observers have noticed the
completeness with which certain
would-be democratic leaders we're laid
aside by the recent election, and south
ern Interpretation is very much of the
same tenor. The opinion seems to pre-
vail very extensively in the south that
the issues of socialism and anti-imperi-
alism were bad experiments. The
Knoxville Sentinel. which up to the
time of the adoption of the New York
platform" had looked on Hill as "the
most available candidate for 1904" now
gives him up: and the Times of Rich
mond, which also believed at one time
that he was the man to lead the fight
in 1904" dismisses him from considera-
ton as possible leader, on the ground
that his socialistic plank proved that he
is mot the man to be trusted with the
great affairs of the party and the ma
tion.'
The election, says the Richmond pa
per, has cleared the situation by show
ing out of the way three conspicuous
figures. Hill, Tom Johnson and Bryan,
and search for a democratic leader
must begin anew; but it can do no
more than advertise, "wanted-a Lead
err"
Very few of these southern papers
have suggestion as to leadership, not
withstanding their powerful influence
at the polls. Cine paper, however, the
Greensboro (North CarolinD Demo-
crat, is ready tc, bet it's last quarter
right now that if Grover C, lives and
keeps his health he will be nominated
for president two years hence" And 1T
may be possible, that the democrats will
turn in despair again to Grover, tho it
will prove a foilorn hope.

CREAMERY FAILURES EXPLAINED.

The decline of the dairy industry in
Iowa and the widespread depression
that characterizes the creamery bust
ness amid the most prosperous times
that this country has ever known, fur
nishes subject for interesting study.
The newspaper. man who is called upon
to report almost daily the failure of
some creamery in Iowa has wondered
at the condition and has cast about him
for an explanation of the cause.
A creamery man of wide experience
is authority for the statement that the
hard luck stories now being told by
creamery people are due to several di-
rect causes. all emanatinig from the
fact that the business is new in Iowa
and therefore but little understood. In
the first place, many crealnerieS have
made the mistake of locating near q
good-sized town, and found that the
district, from which they should draw
their supply of milk, is already provid-
ed Wlln q SOOl 1HaTkel DS the town de-
mand, and consequently the creamery
must pay more for milk than other
creameries with which it must COM
pete.
Again. this creamery man explains,
the farmers of this state know more
about corn and hogs than they do about
dairying and Of late years the profit in
the former has been so great that few
will bother with the milking of cows
This one fact has been the principal
trouble with the creamery business
growing more. acute as the prosperity of
the farmer increased. A creamery must
have a milk supply from at least 500
cows in order to profitabLy employ an
expert butter maker, and when the far
mers refuse to supply the milk the bus
mess is demoralized
This same man thinks that the time
will come when the business is better
understood; when all the benefits of in
creased fertility of the land, increased
return per acre, etc, aecruing from the
dairy business VIII attract many farm

HYSTERlA, NOT RELIGION.

For many days a peculiar spectacle
has attracted universal pity and Won
derment. A curious cortege Of human
beings, of both sexes and all ages, has
been crawling across the Manitoba
steppes, unfed and half clad, facing the
frosty winds and wrapped in the snow
gusts of oncoming winter. Among this
motley mob tremulous old age stag
gered along the slippery roads beside
babes that walled of cold and hunger in
the arms of fainting mothers. Sixteen
hundred fanatics in frenzy of hysteri-
cal religious ardor were seeking qua
si-martyrdom in the name of Christ.
Denying the right of society to enact
laws for their protection and .restric-
ton, they wandered without definite
aim or an accepted leader, hoping for
sign of Gods acceptance. 1t was an
exodus without an objective point.
To die for an idea is superb, and the
evident sincerity of the Dukhobors
would seem to demand that considera-
ton Is always the due of honest convic
ton. Their movement lacks the idea,
however. There is really nothing of re-
ligious conviction about the Dukhobor
rebellion. 1t was entirely an outbreak
of emotional hysteria. and no more en-
titled to respect than any other mani
Yosx Nfof,,
nor real religion drove the Duk upon
his pilgrimage In search of the super
natural. He is simply an example of
the avatistic tendency of history to re-
peat itself. His uprising is but a re-
currence of that contagious hysteria
which led reverend and holy men to
burn witches In Massachusetts, and
that, in an earlier day, marked every
mantle in Christendom with the Cru
legions Of little children then, sent
prayerfully marching away toward the
holy sepulcher to pine of fever and cold
or die of hunger by the wayside until
their host had melted and was lost as
completely as the snow fades before
the summer solstice The wastes between
Jerusalem and the Mediterranean were
white with the bones of Christian ar
mics, and the lizards of the desert nest
of the chivalry of all Europe. Seen
thru a mist of medieval ignorance and
superstition, the Crusaders took on a
superbness which appeals strongly to
the present day imagination. They had
at least an object and developed action.
The Dukhobor movement lacks even
the nobility Of endeavor, and under the
lime light of the nineteenth century be-
comes purely pitiful mean and foolish
The day of mystical religion has gone
by. Modern thought asks for action
and demands results. The world waits
for religion as much manual as men,
tai, as thoroughly tangible as spiritual.
1t wants something to touch as well as
believe. The religion 1t is asking must
save bodies as well as souls. The Duk
and the Crusader, like many more mod
ern and enlightened Christians, lose
sight of the contiguity of God. Search
ing the heavens for sign, they fail to
see the aeld of Christian endeavOr at
their feet, and lose the opportunity for
Christian imitation at their own DOORS
They lack the knowledge that he who
is nearest humanity is closest to Christ
and that to love mankind most is to
love Cod best. TO I've In the world

ers. The cheaper lands of the eastern
states offer severe competition, but the
greater productive capacity of Iowa soil
ought to make itself felt in the dairy
business fully as much as in the pro-
duction of corn and hogs. The continue
Gus rise of land values, too. will, of ne
cessity, lead to intensive farming and to
such new lines as dairying. At present,
however, there is nothing but gloom
the horizon of the man
with his fortune invested in creamery
or cheese factory.

tanning a million tons of coal. were
leased, and from these Mr.. Jermyn dug
out the foundation of large share of
the wealth that crowned his most sue
cessful career.
In 1876 he opened the Manville mine,
now operated Jointly by the Delaware
and Hudson and Delaware. Lackawan-
ma and Western companies. and in 1881,
opened the mine at Priceburg, now
known as the Johnson. Some time
later he leased the Rendham mine from
the New York, Susquehanna and West
ern company, and at the time of his
death was operating them in conjunc-
ton with his son, Joseph j., under the
firm name of Jermyn & Co. He was
the only large individual operator Of
the upper anthracite district who did
not sell out to the carrying companies,
and only one individual operator in the
whole anthracite region had an output
that equalled his.
He was also for many years general
manager of the New York. Susque-
hanna and Western company and it
was he who secured an entrance for
that company to the Scranton coal
field. Press Of private business COM
PEELED him to give up the management
of this company about a decade ago.
Mr. Jermyn was large holder of
Scranton real estate, and contributed
largely to the substantial growth of
Scranton by the construction of two
of the finest buildings of which the city
boasts, Hotel Jermyn. one of the finest
hostelries in the country, and the Coal
Exchange. one of the largest store and
office buildings in the city, and the
first Scranton building to be equipped
with a passenger elevator
Other buildings of which he was the
owner are the old Second National
bank building, on Lackawanna avenue
where the Scranton Railway companys
