The PRESIDENT and the Governor.

The President IS letter to Governor
Durbin praising the good example
he gave to the country in UNFOLDING
the laws. was word fifty spoken.
The Governors comments on 1T are
equally SO. He emphasizes two things
that thoughtful consideration will
agree are Of Importance. One is that
the conditions to which the president
refers (mob murders) is not SO much
for the executive to meet as the peo-
pie themselves. Governor Durbin did
all that an executive could do; so did
the sheriff at Danville, Ill. "Legisla-
lures make laws" says the Governor,
ssbut their enforcement after all lies
with the people," Any one that has
thought of the grave situation in this
country today must feel the truth
of this. While weak and cowardly exc
cutives have played their part in fos-
tering crime by failing to enforce the
law, yet. after all, the people are re-
sponsible.-Indianapolis News.

There is no stain on his military

Foolish Labor Unions.

The latest remarkable strike in New
York city is among the jewelry work
ers and vas called because one en-
ployer refused to heed the demand of
the walking delegate that certain
workman, member of the union, be
discharged for nonpayment of his
union dues. When the employer ex-
planned that he considered this delIn-
quency none OF his business the men
we're ordered out. The firm at once
appealed to the Manufacturing Jewel
ers' Association and it was decided to
order general lockout until the
strike in the one shop had been de-
clared off. The men, about 1,400 OF
whom are affected. receive,high wages.
The matter is now "up to- them as
to whether their wages shall be re-
sumed.

Expansion of the Currency.

The eXtent to which the circulating
medium of the United States has been
expanded in recent years is one of the
marvels of the time. The monthly
circulation statement just issued by
the treasury department shows that
the general stock of money of all sorts
in the country on August l, 1908. was
81, 695, 440, TIA, which was a gain of
81, 29O, 553 in the month. The amount
of the money in actual circulation on
August / was 1889, 01s.4 gain
Of nearly $4,000, 900 ip the month and
of over s12l 900, 900 in twelve months.
On the basis of the estimated popula-
ton of the country on August l this
was per capita circulation of s29.55,
which is the highest figure ever
touched.

A democratic paper which always
discusses political matters with in.
telligent discrimination, after dis
cussing Cleyelanoism and Organism,
says 1.-THE most probable result is the
nomination OF some candidate who in
the various party vicissitudes has been
comparatively obscure, but always a
democrat. And the platform will in
all probability be chiefly devoted to
tariff and trusts, and will contribute
what it can to general forgetfulness
that there has ever been silver issue.
In its final analysis this conclusion will
be Cleveland triumph on the candi-
date"

There is good deal said about the
decay of editorial influence, but it is a
noticeable fact that where groups Of
men gather the first thing they look
for in the metropolitan papers, is the
editorial page, and the opinions of the
papers as expressed in the editorials is
the most frequent subject Of discus
sion. The editorial page, properly
conducted by thoughtful men, is the
source of the best stimulating influ-
ence OF the press. 1t Is the sympo-

Iowa is the great corn state, and
corn is Its geatest source of wealth.
Last year $4,000 acres. or one
fourth OF its entire area, was planted
to corn, and at present, by present
methods, the average crop is worth
about $3.50. 600, 900. BY mixing brains
with the seed this value can be increas-
ed another hundred millions-that is,
II every farmer will ascertain the
character OF the soil in his corn field
aud use the particular kind of seed
which will produce the best results in
that particular kind of soil. One kind
of corn wants the dry, sandy soil of
the uplands, while another will grow
more .abundantly upon the bottom
lands. BY planting the wrong kind
of seed the farmer not only loses much
of his time and labor, but fails to gain
what intelligence and education should
bring him.
