The BONDED
WHEAT QUESTION

the completed article would
be found is a matter which per-
haps the m1llers can explain.
As illustrating the workings
of this law in respect of the nu-
merous other manufactures we
will state that in 1903 the gov
eminent refunded about five mil
lions of dollars drawback to inn
porters. a
Now, the effect of a regulation
such as the millers want would
be simply to add a large share of.
the Canadian wheat crop to our
own, giving us a surplus to deal
with; for, practically, the mil
Ter could then buy his wheat as
freely in Canada as he can in the
United States. This would in a
great measure remove the pres
ent disparity in wheat prices
in the two countries. Canadian
wheat prices would advance and
domestic wheat prices would
fall, and the foreign demand.
which now controls prices in.
Canada, would again control in
the United States. It seems to
us that no other conclusion can
be reached.
J. It is held by many good law
yers that the courts must sus-
tain the position Of the millers.
We do not accept this as being
conclusive. Indeed we are
strongly inclined to the contrary
opinion. If they are sustained.
d I - :
the benefits of a protective tariff
against foreign wheat would, in
a great measure disappear. tt
is a new question which presents
a situation that the trainers Of
the law could not have foreseen.
Identically the same provision
was in the Mckinley law and the
Wilson German law, so that it
is not a party question. I'm
dsubtedly the intent of congress,
when a twenty-five cents per
bushel duty was imposed, was to
protect the wheat raiser. The
drawback clause could not have
been designed to completely
nullify any other provision in
the tariff law, but, under these
new developments, that is what
it will do as to the wheat duty
clause. It is evident that the
millers see in the order which
they have asked the department
to make, and which the depart
ment probably will make, an OPP
portunity to Sc curs what all
along they have so ardently de-
sired, to-Wit:: free importations
of wheat from Canada. Hence
they decline to do business under
the bonded manufacturing ware
house law which places the ex-
pense Of administration upon
their own shoulder and admits
of close governmental supervi-
sion. IL they succeed in their
designs, congress will undoubt-
eddy take the first opportunity to
exempt wheat from the operation
| of all the drawback statutes
for manifestly the lawmaking
body will see the injustice re-
sulting from such a policy and
will find a way to correct it.
The remedy will be found when
the tariff IS readjusted. Or il
may be found earlier in a joint
resolution reciting the intent Of
congress when it placed a duty
upon wheat.

It is one of the claims of the Demo- crats that when they have a high old row at a political meeting the row in dicates that they are alive and kicking, and that they are not as cut-and-dried as the Republicans are. It is also some times asserted that rows at Democratic conventions lead to good results for the Democratic party on election day. Some of the Democrats at Hartford yes
 terday made it decidedly warm for oth- CT Democrats, and the good old claims will doubtless be trotted out again to
 explain that which is not at all nyste- rious.
 The convention turned out to be a Parker convention after a sufficient amount of talk and trouble. And it was so decidedly a Parker convention ! that it felt warranted in both "advis- ing" and instructing" the delegates to St. Louis to act and vote as unit in all matters arising in the national con- vention in accordance with the will and majority of said delegates, and in fur ther advising and instructing said dele gates to support in the national con- vention the candidacy of Judge Alton
 Brooks Parker of New York for Presi-
 dent of the United States.
 So passed. or failed to arrive, the glory of Hearst. Bryan ct al. in Con- lnecticut. But on the whole it was a good day for the Democrats of Con- lnecticut. and also for the Republicans.

THE FIRST SHOT.

Judge Alton B. Parker hasn't said much about himself yet. His good old mother has testified that he was sound Ily and properly whipped by her when he was young, and that it did him much good. But of course he isn't going to be let off as easily as that. For instance, it appears that about thirteen years ago the judge was one of the trustees of the Ulster county Savings bank, at Kingston,
 New York. Nearly $5o0,000 of the funds land securities of the bank were stolen
 by two officers of the institution. The
 peculations of these men extended over "a period of twenty years before their crimes were detected. There was run on the bank when the facts became
 public Then the trustees, among whom was Judge Parker. signed statement that the bank was solvent. The fears of depositors were allayed and many who had taken their money out of the
 institution returned and placed it on deposit. A few days later the State
 Bank Superintendent closed the doors
 of the institution All of this happened
 in 1891, and at that time the press of
 Ulster county and some of the news
 papers of New York city made vigor-
 ous attacks on the trustees Of the bank, including Judge Parker, for their alleg- led criminal negligence"
 And so forth and so on, When man begins to be seriously mentioned he
 begins to be seriously attacked, It is a great and cheering game.

NOT mArrrRs FOR pRlpE.

There are some exhibits which Mis- souri will not point to with pride this year when her chief city will be filled with strangers. She will not proudly call attention to her wonderful boodlers, nor will she proudly call attention to the record which her Jackson county has made in divorce proceedings. It appears that 1,075 divorces were peti- tioned for in the circuit court of this county in the year 1908, and that in that year 3,076 marriage licenses were issued. In other words, about one couple tried legally to break the bonds
 of matrimony last year in this county for every three couples that got legal permission to enter into them. Of were denied; but when this is taken into consideration the facts remain not a little startling. And the condition of things in other parts of Missouri does- mt seem to be much better than it is in
 Jackson county. For instance, in Boone county is woman, still less than forty years old, who has shown
 what may be accomplished under the present marriage and divorce laws of
 Missouri by getting married seven times and divorced six times. She is
 now living with her sixth husband, having been married to and divorced
 from one man twice; and five of the
 six men to whom she has been married
 are still living. To cap the climax, she
 once got a marriage license in Callaway
 county that never was used, so she has
 been licensed eight times in Missouri to
 marry.
 There is evidently much need of re-
 form in Missouri but it is not easy to
 see how there is going to be much just
 now.

Sometimes a natural barrier like a river or sandy stretch may bar the path of the flames. but if not, an un- Durnable space should be made by starting what are called back fires at some distance ahead of the main fire. These smaller fires should be kept un- der control, and allowed to burn against the wind only. They will thus consume all the burnable material over wide strip in the pathway of the main fire. so that when they meet, the latter will go out for lack of fuel.

YELLOW JOURNALISM.

One Optimist Thinks It is Waning. When Hearst started with the Jour nal purchased for him, so to speak, as a plaything, he spent the family money
 with great freedom for news, and did get the news. While he bought and manufactured an infinite quantity of news that was not so, he still did con- trive to get a good deal of news that was important, and get it ahead of oth- CT people. Consequently, many people found it advisable to buy his yellow journal, partly from curiosity, and part ly to get such news as he might have in advance of other papers.
 Tn the past year or two. however, and more especially since Hearst and his staff undertook to make a presiden- tial boom for him, the yellow journals, |as newspapers, have deteriorated very rapidly. and it is simply truth to say
