A Limit Somewhere,

And now 1t Is the raw-silk industry that
the department Of agriculture proposes to
introduce into this country. The pater-
nalistic department will supply worms and
mulberry trees to anybody who Is willing
to make the experiment
We buy s75,00o,0o0 worth Of raw silk
every year, and the secretary sees no
reason why we can't spend this money
among our own people. In fact, Mr.. Will
son would like to see the United States
produce everything it consumes. But
somewhere this process will have to STOP
Already we are the most self sufficient
nation in the world, and could Probably
stand long war better than any other
country.
But suppose we get to such point that
we can supply at home every one Of our
wants?
How can we sell abroad II we cease to
buy abroad?
But as we have immense SURPRISES Of
agricultural products, and soon will have
of manufactured products, inability to sell
abroad would be a very serious matter.
The world would have to stop trading
with u.s. For awhile it might exchange
its gold for our goods, but in a few years
at the most we would have all the loose
gold in the world, and the other nations
would find some way to get along without
tus by trading with each other

ATTACKING DEMIGoDs.

The Booknan emphatically commends
the late w. E. Henley for his severe an
alysis of the character of Robert Louis
Stevenson. The Bookman has found fault
with Mr.. Froude for permitting Miss
Jewsbury to be articulate as to the weak
nesses Of Jane Welsh Carlyle and her
husband. "Posterity," says The Book
man, will be grateful to Mr.. Henley for
the unf1inching courage with which he ex-
posed the egotisrn, the selfshness and the
miserable meanness Of a character which
was typically Scotch in its blend of senti-
mentalism and slyness." Why not COM
mend Froude for bringing out in con-
spicuity the Epalpable weaknesses and
narrownesses Of the Carlyles? Froude
was a closer friend to the Carlyles than
Henley was to Stevenson. Froude de-
clared that his reason for exposing
Carlyle was because he was too great
man to be hurt by occasional defects.
He thought he could not be hurt by re-
vived letters. In many respects Carlyle's
typical Scotch character showed far more
defects than Stevenson's. Carlyle was
prodigiously SELFISH intensely mean at
times, and a big bag of wind easily
punctured. The trouble about telling the
truth Of men accounted demigods by
their fellows, is that you can get the
devotees Of the cult to believe the truth.
Take Emerson, for instance The wor-
shippers Of that genius can't disengage
themselves from their idolatry, and stick
to it. They will tell you, to-day, that
Emerson was the brafniest man the coun-
try ever produced and that he has given
us the only thought worth quoting. All
Henley's structures upon Stevensons
Scottish meanness have never convinced a
single member of the Stevenson cult that
he told the truth. Is it not true that
Faude's revelations of the Carlyles have
drawn the people of that cult closer to
their idols? Miss Jewsbury has given
Mrs. Carlyle the biggest advertisement
she ever had in her career.

It is charged against W. A. Miller, the
assistant foreman in the government
printing office who has been the subject
of so much controversy, that he has twice
been a bigamist. This is important, If
true, but it has no more to do with the
main issue than stack of black cats. If
Miller were the devil himself the main
issue would be unaffected. The issue is
to whether the government or the book
binders union is in control Of the printing
office. If Miller Is proved to be an I'M
worthy person he will doubtless be dis
charged from his place, and such dis
charge may prevent an actual conflict be-
tween the government and the union, but
it may be counted on as a certainty that
so long as Roosevelt IS president Miller
will not be discharged because a little
club Of his fellow employees discharged
him from their organization. The fact
that the president has directed that the
principle involved in the Miller case be
applied turnout the government depart
ments plainly shows that he does not in
tend that the possible discharge of Miller
for unworthiness shall be Interpreted as a
means of avoiding the issue.

Not a Good Time to Judge Wheat
Prices.

It Is an odd situation in wheat just at
present so odd that no exact parallel for
1t can be found in the past.
The eyes Of the grain trade are focused
upon Minneapolis. What Minneapolis
does, that, in some measure at least, all
grain markets will do.
What Minneapolis will do next the most
astute trader here does not pretend to
see. It is situation where a week of
good or bad weather will make the widest
difference in wheat values.
A change Of IL cents a bushel in a week
In the price of cash wheat is something
extraordinary. and it is not surprising that
the violent fluctuations in the Minneapolis
market should have held the attention Of
the trade the world over. On Friday q
week ago cash wheat sold at s1@s1.01, and
yesterday the same quality Of old No. !
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1903-08-22

northern sold at 88@S9o. The mtllers SIM
ply would not pay the high prices for the
little Of old wheat offered, and in addt-
ton the September option was on decline,
hence cash wheat declined rapidly.
Half the -four mills of Minneapolis are
closed because there is no wheat for them
to grind. They will resume operations
when new wheat comes. While few
cars have struggled in, the new wheat has
not really begun to move yet, and the
range Of 81 to SO cents was on old wheat.
What the n1illers will pay for the new
crop wheat is yet to be determined. To
assume that they will buy it around SO
cents or around 81 might be equally
hazardous If the mills are to run at all
they must have this new wheat as soon
as it Is fit to grind. A heavy demand for
are adjusted to the new crop basis. For
several days the weather has been favor
able, almost ideal, and the work Of thresh-
ing greatly facilitated. BY Monday next
some new wheat should be in Minneapolis
and from that time on the movement
400 or 500 cars day are coming in then
will it be possible to determine more
closely the average prices the farmers Of
the northwest are likely to obtain this
year, for price regulation by supply and
demand does not always mean that the
the supply may get SO small as to paralyze
demand. On the .other hand, after such
a paralysis, an increased supply does not
necessarily mean a sinking market. .
Why should the mills compete for the
few cars now coming? Better to close the
mills temporarily and wait. When the
movement is on in force the market will
| feel the weight Of great quantities of
| wheat, but will also feel the support of
the full buying power afforded by the
great Minneapolis market. Then will the
price question work out on a legitimate
basis #-E
Meanwhile there is no old wheat, and all
the trade reaching for the new crop. The
market stands between no wheat and a
I free supply, between the extremes OF
empty elevator bins and nothing for the
mills to grind. and the supply in sight in
the stack and in the shock awaiting the
threshers Present weather conditions are
great blessing to ALL, and the grain
trade prays for their continuance. Three
or four days Of rain over the northwest
heavy enough to delay harvesting seri-
ously would mean much higher prices fol
| wheat everywhere.

The department Of the interior has
granted the petition Of the lumbermen for
an extension Of the time limit within
which the pine on the Leech Lake Indian
reservations must be cut. The lumbern en-
have not, however, gpt so much as they
asked for. They wanted ten years from
date and have been granted five, this
being three years more on part and one
year more on another part than the de-
partment at first intended to give. In
view of the fact that it is provided that
a portion of the PINE must be removed
each season, the compromise, ought to be
satisfactory to everybody.

In the midst Of all this pessimism about
the negro problem, it is good to get such
a breeze of optimism as comes from the
National Negro Business Mems League,
in session at Nashville. This convention
Is disposed to look on the bright side.
Booker Washington set the ball aroling
when he told the convention that, after
all that has been said and done, the con-
dition Of the negro race in America to-
day is vastly superior to- that of the Jews
in most countries Of Europe. f. D. Pat
terson of Ohio hit the nail on the head
when he declared that the race question
was personal issue. When the majority
of the negroes are good citizens, the race
question will be gone.

It is hard to believe that the American

mands Of class or clique loyalty. The

James Lane Aliens Problem.

James Lane Allen, with his 'The Met
tie of the Pasture has stirred the fiction
reading public as no writer has done for
many a moon. His hero" Rowan Mere
dith, as a college student becomes en-
tangled with a young woman--to put it
euphemistically. Later he is betrothed to
a different young woman OF higher degree.
The question with him is shall he con-
fess to his prospective wife the blot on his
past? He thinks he should and follows
such a course, and thereon hangs the tale,
and vast amount Of discussion, which
has been focused laterly upon Bliss Car
mems statement of the case in the New
York Times Saturday Review, in part as
follows: Il
In the first place, had the man any right
to tell the secret? Was 1t his. to give
away? Didn't half of 1t belong to the
other woman? In the second place, sup
posing he had right to dispose of his
own half Of the secret he had no&right to
infiict the unlovely story Of his delin-
Quency on any unoffending soul that, cared
for him. To deliberately thrust 1t upon
his sweetheart was monstrous He was
not called on to act lie before her; he
was only required to forget his past. The
it cheerfully in such case is not a gen.
tleman, whatever else he may be-:
Mrs. Margaret e. Sangster comes really
to the meat of the matter in this:
The feature that differentiates 1t from
other books In recent fiction Is the fact
that it presents q phase seldom exploited,
the fact that a woman can IN some cir
cumstances exact as much as q man sim
ilarly situated would certainly exact.
| Rowan's bethrothed upon receiving his
confession dismissed him., to marry him,
however, after some three years. Now
the question being discussed with a con-
siderable degree of warmth is whether
she was justified in this temporary course
or would have been justified in send
ing him away once for all? Know
ing his past, did she do right In deciding
to exact Of him as much as a man sinil-
arly situated would certainly have exact
ed? This Is resolving it into the old, old
question shall the same standards apply
to both sexes? There seems, in some
quarters at least, to be disposition to
condemn Rowan's fianeee for her: course
In letting Rowan's: past make the. slight
est difference in her feeling toward him.
Would those who thus condemn the maid
en- take like position toward Rowan were
the conditions reversed and the blot upon
his fancee's past?

The Manchester Post has discovered a
new phase Of the Chamberlain PROPOSE
ton to tax foreign foodstuffs entering the
British market In order to protect the
colonial producer. The Post calculates
that there is as much British money in
vested in foreign countries as in the Brit
ish colonies. It reasons that, since any
restriction Of the market of those coun-
tries would detract from their prosperity
to tax their products while not taxing
those Of the colonies would merely be to
favor one set of British investors at the
expense of another s
