Corn Is KING.
From the Philadelphia Bulletin

from lne Inllduelpnld DuilcNAhs
The slogan OF the cotton planters in
ante-bellum days was Cotton 10
King" The sceptre has departed from
cotton these many years, however, and,
based upon the crop reports Of the pres
ent year, cotton holds only third place
now. the estimated value OF the cotton
crop. s52S.750.0O0 falling below that Of
wheat at s535,S72,O0O.
Corn is so far in the lead, however,
that no rival will compete with 1t for
first place. The estimated yield for the
present year is 2,2s9 100000 bushels,
worth. at so cents bushel, S1,144.950,-
600. This is more than the selling price
of the years crops Of cotton and wheat
together and leaves corn the undisputed
master Of the agricultural field.
One element of satisfaction in the pri-
macy of the corn crop is to be found
in the fact that it leaves no cause for
sectional heart burnings. Corn knows
no North or South. no East or West.
It grows everywhere where Uncle
Sans Gag floats. Cotton is confined
TO m s3uth and the bulk of the wheat

The Str As. but what State doesn't grow
oven Maine, jammed in between
the summer iceberg track off the coast
and the Gulf of st. Lawrence snatches
enough summer sunshine to mature the

where.
Another reason for grateful loyalty
TO the rule Of corn is that no one need
/ lie awake o. nights for fear Of new
ruler will grasp the sceptre without
warning. Corn is king for keeps, as the
boys say. And the boys are willing

FARMERS ENTER INTO
GIGANTIC COMBINE
Concern Has Been Incorpo-
rated With S5,ooo,oo
900 Capital

Phoenix, Ariz., Sept. 19-Five million
dollars is the capitalization Of what ap-
pears to be a gigantic farmers combine
just incorporated under the laws OF
Arizona. The principal place of busi-
ness is Phoenix, Ariz., with branch
Offices at Seneca. N. Y. Liabilities are
to be limited to s5.OOO 100000 and the
life Of the corporation is to be 25

SHIP AND CREW MISSING
Fishing Steamer Beatrice, With Crew
of 80 Probably Lost.

of 80 Probably Lost.
Norfolk, Va, Sept. 10. ~ Captain
Bussells, of the Atlantic Fishing Com
pany at Cape Charles. Va. who brought
safely into port the fishing steamer
Atlantic. said that there now can be
no doubt of the fact that the Atlantic's
sister ship Beatrice foundered during
the recent coast storm, going down
with all hands aboard. The Beatrice
carried a crew of about 80. Captain
Bussells says he does not believe that
the fishing steamer Swan, of HarbOr-
ton. Va. foundered in the storm, and
expresses the opinion that the Swan
by this time has made harbor, in all
probability within the city Of Lewes,
Del.
The last seen Of the Beatrice was
when the steamer Atlantic left her on
the Maryland coast about 6 p. m. Tues
day. The weather was then fair, and
the Beatrice was heading for the Vir-
ginia capes Il was II o'clock Tuesday
night when the storm struck the At
lantic. The gale continued to increase
in intensity until those aboard the At
lantic did not know whether they
would ever see land again or not
During most of the storm she was
within a few miles of the Old Do
minion steamer Princess Anne, and
the experience Of the two steamers
was the same.
There was a report here that the
Swan had been heard from in Della
ware Breakwater. and that all hands
aboard were safe.

FOR BETTER ENGLISH.

superintendent Twitmyer intimates
that he proposes to make good Eng
nsh a matter of greater Importance in
the public schools, and his purpose
should receive applause. The Greeks
in the days when Athens was the seat
Of the worlds intellectually were
strong because they wrote in Greek
and. thought in Greeki and when new
words were required to express their
ideas they did not resort 20 a foreign
tongue. but coined them. The English
language has been so enriched that II
is capable Of expressing almost any
shade Of meaning; It Is fast becoming
the world language. and when that
happens it Is a pretty certain indica-
tion that back OF that language is a
great and virile people.
President eliot OF Harvard says that
the truest test OF the educated man is
his ability TO use his own language
with ease. grace and precision, Dr
Eliot ought to know what he Is talking
about, and doubtless he could point tc
many a man who has been through
college and professional courses who
is by no means educated.
The value OF thorough training IN
English does not lie so much in the
ability 10 speak and write with ele-
gance as in the mental discipline which
comes from practice in the accurate
use Of language. ones style reflects
his own nature and mental status
Consequently a study OF the proper use
OF words Is a mental exercise Of q higl
order BY teaching pupil to express
himself accurately wo teach him t'
think accurately,
Objection to slang is not based al
together on our aversion to having ou
beautiful speech distorted and man
gled, but on the fact that it indicates
a loose. shngy mind that calls for tha
form Of expression, What man is
he expresses in some manner an
principally through his native tongue
We may correct his expression throug
mental training, or wo may develop hi

that commercial union shah be estab-

that now is the psychological mo-

far as the colonies are concerned, and
that tomorrow II may be too late. But
he also sees that the electorate of the
United Kingdom is not ready for 1t.
and the attitude OF the electorate is.
as he says. something which no good
government in a democratic count L
can ignore. He cannot lay aside his
convictions. and ne will not pursue

ents oppose.
His retirement illustrates the wis
dom OF the English system that virtu-
ally compels the retirement Of a min
lister who fails to carry out his poll

back on the people. Mr.. Chamberlain
will doubtless now open an aggressive
campaign for an imperial union with

with great vigor. His retirement raises
the issue squarely, ana probably the
