Texas Convict Farm.

Ten years ago the state of Texas pur-
chased a large farm for convict work.
ing, 1000 acres of which are TO- under
a high state of cultivation. The chief
products are cotton and sugar, and the
value of the annual crop has increased
within a few years from $4,000 to $751;
OOO-this in addition to the food and
forage raised for the convicts and the
farm stock. This farm is operated by
"second-class" negro convicts, those
who are physically unable to meet the
requirements of convict labor, for the
majority of the prisoners are still
worked under contract. - Chicago

They Breed Socialism.

The chief teachers of socialism in
this country are those who have os-
te~ntatiously paraded their power I'm
der present conditions to c~onjure
enormous wealth from combinations,
from trusts, from water, from rail
road discrimination, from legislative
favor. When people see vast corpor-
ations built up by secret contracts
with common carriers in violation of
law, when they see other corpora
tions permitted by ill-adiusted tariff
duties to sell. their goods here for so
much that it is profitable to purchase
abroad those same goods manufac-
tured here and freight them back, it
is no wonder that they grow discon-
tented. We firmly believe that a
plunge into socialism would be the ruin
Of this country. Its salvation must
be found in free initiative and enter
prise as of old. Whatever seems to
large bodies of the people to trench
upon that freedom by granting special
privileges tends to provoke demands
for such regulation of equality as will
kill individualism and enterprise.-N.
Y. Tribune (rep.).

steriIizing Garden Soil,

The practice of sterilizing the soil
for greenhouse or cold-frame work
is coming more and more in vogue
with large market gardeners. Ex-
posture to steam heat, which raises
the temperature to above $50 or 16o,
or even $50, degrees will kill the
germs Of damping-off, blights, rots,
etc. w. w. Rawson says he can now
grow better crops nssterilized soil
under glass than outdoors. A writer
in Farm and Fireside says: "Wee who
have not the facilities for sterilizing
the soil in this must content
ourselves with changing the soil on
the greenhouse benches every year,
getting a new supply where we be-
lieve 1t to be unaffected from such
disease germs"

This dispute between these repub-
lican leaders on the policy of the re-
publican party will probably lead to
a further widening of the breach and
in the end will defeat the protection
they both declare they love so dear
ly. The thanks of the people are
due to Senator Vest not only for his
fight for free coal, which was forced
through by his clear cut statements
of the distress of the people and the
iniquity of the tariff duty, but also
for his statement of the disputed
position of Mr.. Dingley on the reci-
procity issue and the consequent ex-
posture of the skeletons mentioned
above. There would seem to be no
escape, by the reciprocity route, for
the republicans that believe in the
Iowa idea, that the tariff shelters
monopoly, for the proof is over
so high that even if the reciprocity
treaties, which are now held up i'll
the senate, were ratified, the trusts
would still be sheltered and be max
ing the people pay an enormous tax
for the exclusive benefit of the
trusts. The leaders who control the
republican congress in both branches
are determined not to allow any re-
duction of the tariff rates that shell
ter the trusts and nothing but their
overthrow, at some coming election,
will give the people any relief. How
long this trust-sheltering tariff will
remain and the consumers of this
country be willing to pay more for
trust products than the same goods
can be bought for in foreign coun-
tries, remains for the voters to an
swer.
Must the lesson of the coal famine
be repeated in other necessities, be-
fore the people are aroused to ac-
ton and will force the protectionists
to give way, as they have just done
by putting coal on the free list?

not made up her mind, neither accept

-Wasbinpton oracles acre.

Washington oracles agree that
the outlook for anti-trust" legislation
comes down to about this: A law of
some kind must be passed, for the
president himself has said it, but it
must be a mild" law, for the senate
will permit no other. The sole prob
lem is therefore how to harmonic
the two demands; and it is not diff
cult to see that the "milG" opponents
of trusts, like the meek, will inherit
the earth. Mr.. Roosevelt's position
is simply that he .aust have some
thing; the trusts want but little leg
islation here below, but want that
little mild; the upshot will probably
be a measure which will roar as gen
tly as a sucking dove.-N. Y. Post.

II is again time to examine every ap-
