Parker Still in Politics.

Former Chief Justice Alton B. Park
er of New York denies that he is to re-
turn to the bench as the successor of
Judge Van Brunt or any one else. Hav-
ing resigned and gone into private prae-
tice the judge means to fight it out on
those lines. Besides, he sees chances
to be useful to his enemies in politics,
which he would have: to forego IF he
were on the bench. i = j =.
A curious story is told Of Mr.. Park,
er's refusal to speak at the New York
Jefferson dinner, and Of his subsequent
request for another invitations Is When
first approached on the subject. Mr.
Parker understood that William Jep

the banquet board, and sent his regrets
Later when he learned that Mr.. Bryan
would not be in New York, but woulc
speak at the Chicago Jefferson dinner
he asked that the declined Invitation
be renewed. He is now working in
dustriously on his speech.
It is very unlikely, having had hi

sonal. deieaeyI ought NOT to enter into

false modesty for a member to vote

proper assumption for eaeh man is that

compensation for, the time taken Out
of his life and his regular duties al
home. Leaving Sout the months spent
in campaigning for the place, the time
spent; in preparation before he takes take
his seat, and the thousand annoyance
the position entails, the. money nov
paid is: not, sufficient for the services

i Another strong argument for the bill

RENNER'S PROPHECIES

Samuel Benner, the farmer-prophet OF
Dundas, Ohio, who has made some no
table successes as a forecaster of bust
ness conditions has issued his pFophe-
cies for 1905. He introduces his forecast
as ,follows:A
81 predict that prices of pig-iron will
advance and be higher. in 1905 than in
1904.
It predict that prices for railroad stocks
and industrial securities will be higher in
1906 than 1904.
IT predict there will be revival in
business and that the volume of trade in
1905 will exceed that of 1904 many mill
lions of dollars.
II predict that there will be moderate
good times for the next four years"
In his elaboration CT the forecast he re-
fers to pig-iron as a barometer of trade
and says:
''The aggregate Of crops for 1904 is SIM
| ply enormous. Wheat corn and oats COM
| bined amounts to nearly four thousand
| millions of bushels, and other grains and
| minor products fill the granaries with an

THE MAGAZINES

A Psychologist on Christian Science
Mesmerists, hypnotists,, Christian scien-
lists, faith-curists, mental healers, medi-
cine men, priests, saints and physicians,
one and all succeed, by playing upon the
imagination, in producing remarkable
changes in bodily health, says James Row
land Angel in The World Today for April.
Moreover, SO far as the evidence IS avail
able, the more intelligent employment of
such agencies displays astonishing uni
formity in the results achieved. Essen
TALLY the same disorders show themselves
amenable to alienation under the auspices
Of Christian Science as under hypnotic
treatment; and about the same percentage
of such disorders fails to yield to treat
ment under the two forms Of procedure.

A Wise Remark by Roosevelt.

: The president has added materially to
his list of. useful sayings by the re-
mark made to a delegation Of labor
men at the White House short time
ago. "Mediation before strike,' he
said, els better than arbitration after
ward" r.
The sound sense of this ought to com
mend itself to every labor leader.
Few strikes are completely successful
The great majority are entire failures
When the results of the partially sue
cessful strike are summed up, it seldom
appears that anything better in terms
has been secured than could have been
obtained by proper application Of the
salve of mediation in advance. =
The statistics of strikes SO far as
they have been kept have proven then
to be most expensive luxury both fol
labor and capital. .~~yt %-n~ (

Buffalo Bill Run Over.

Buffalo Bill, after a long career Of
riding bucking bronchos;; breaking glass
balls and resouing the Deadwood stage
at matinees and evening performances,
has come to grief He tried to ride
legal broncho and was thrown heav-
lily; he took a shot at legal glass ball
and the recoil nearly kicked his head
off; he has: been Missed off the Dead
wood stage of publicity. Was ever a
scout of the old time put thru such a
mill? It makes one believe he might
as we'll settle down and lead a lawful
life from the start.
The court, which appears to have had
no idea Of romance in its system, finds
that Buffalo Bill has no case; that his
wife has been longsuffering and pa
tient, and that she should in justice
to herself have run Bill thru the cure
years ago. Of the allegation Of at
tempted poisoning, the court remark:
! that there is evidence that Colone
Cody was trying to- poison himself
| with frontier whisky and that his wife
administered camomile tea and othe1
home remedies to try to save him
The court finds that it was the redeyt
which rendered the colonel speeches
and not the Garfield tea.
Bills application for a divorce il
rejected, and he is advised to qui
drinking and make Mrs. Cody treas
urer of the show. And so passes an
other hero Of our youth! 49,.

a Practical Reform.

. Elmer E. Adams Of Fergus Falls,
who runs a. print shop OF his own, has
introduced bill in the house to abolish
The state printing commission and give
the board Of control the letting OF all
state printing contracts. His bill does
not abolish the present office OF state
: expert printer, but puts him under
different head.
:: It will be hard to find sound argu-
ment against this bill. The work al
ready being done against it by the
heads of certain prominent st. Paul
printing companies is an eloquent argu-
ment in it's favor. These companies
have in years past fairly overreached
themselves in their efforts to milk the
state for extortionate prices. For sew
eraI wears their little combination
worked smoothly, and the state paid
out many, thousands in exorbltant
charges. Two years ago Minneapolis
concern broke in with a low bid, from
which the state has since profited. AT
the present time prices are much bet
ter, but they could still be improved
>. upon. -.
! The history of the printing commits
sion shows that there has never been
any effort to break combination OF
= bidders by Reimbursement. If the
system is not changed there is no tell
ing when the combination will AGAR
get monopoly on the fat pastures.
4 = :, The board of control has RECORD
for bringing com binations to time: II
given the supervision of the printing
contracts, there is good reason to be
ieve they could save money on prices
now being paid. If required to maxi
bids on printing public, so as to satisfy
everyone as to the justice of the award
the board of control ought to give sat
isfaction as managers Of the stat
printing.

Popularity of the Wheat Situa-
tion. - z

Outdoing the old saw Of carrying
Goals to Newcastle, the biscuit trust has
bought, in Liverpool, some 10000 bar
rels of flour, for shipment to one of its
eastern bakeries. This is the fourth
report Of the extraordinary sort CON
corning the matter Of supplies Of bread
stuffs, the three former having to do
with the reimportation of American
wheat, sold originally to continental
Europe. The flour bought by the bis
cult company is an American product,
made on the Pacific coast, from Oregon
or Washington wheat, sold to Liverpool
and shipped there, but not unloaded
from the ship.
So great has been the advance in
wheat and -four prices, and so wide are
the differences between American and
European markets, that it is now found
cheaper to buy this -four and bring it
back to America than to buy -four OF
corresponding grade made by. Ohio Of
central states mills. The -four coming
back to America does not have to pay
duty, being American product. . :,
These trade occurrences that are 81
far out of the ordinary as to draw at
tention the world over, are due TO- tn
high prices of wheat in our markets
When something of the sort is reported
lit becomes at once an argument TO
price recession. '...~.. - .
Still it is even yet an open question
as to whether or not wheat prices are t.
decline much, altho it is question tina
ought to be nearer its answer soon, TO

Not Square.

The defenders Of private banking IN
Minnesota are not square.
They are trying to cloud the issue
in this matter of banking legislation
/ by seeking to make it appear that the
, demand that an private banks shall be
incorporated and subjected to the same
regulations now imposed on state banks
comes from corporations, and that the
controversy now on in the senate is
] really between the big Incorporated
banks and individuals acting as bank
. ers. 1t is charged that the big banks
! are jealous Of the private bankers and
! are trying to drive them out Of bust.
{ ness.
1 That is q misstatement Of facts.
3 Some votes in the senate may be de-
!, Tended on that ground, but the defense
! will not stand. Whose advice is good
1 on this subject if not that Of the solid,
I substantial banking institutions them
{ selves? If they want all banking to
s, be done on the only basis that is rea-
sonably safe and sound, why should
j the public be willing to put up with
lax and unsound methodist? Who is
1. going to profit more by sound banking
than the general publioe
u Notice should be taken also of the
e fact that along with the demand that
L all private banks be required to in
Z corporate is the recommendation to the
legislature by the state bankers them
S selves that sufficient money be appro
~ priated at this time to enable thu
bank examiner to examine state bank
at least twice year. The appropri
alton now provides for only one exam
ination annually. .s
It is easy to create prejudice in som
minds against any measure by claim
ing that it is in the interest of corpo
rations, and that is why this argumen
is resorted to by the private bankers
but the more the condition of the dc
positor in the private bank become
understood, the more apparent it wi
be that this demand for incorporate
is altogether in his interest. Even
the private banker should concede prat
tically all that is demanded > by til
Eberhart bill and yet fail to incorp,
rate, as the proprietor. Of a. .priva1
bank his bank becomes liable for a
s the obligations which he may incur {
an individual. For this reason exam
nation by the public examiner Of tt
private bank is Of comparatively lit
value, since it cannot disclose the deb
on individual account Of the owner

to be all right, but when the credito
of the banker begin to close, down {

When Lefty had scarce passed her third glad
year,
And her young artless words began to flow,
One day we gave the child a 'colored sphere
Of the wide earth, that she might mark and
know,
By tint and outline, all its sea and land
r. She patted all the world; old empires peeped
Between her baby fingers; her soft hand
-. Was welcome, at all frontiers. How she leaped
And laughed and prattled in her worldwide
bliss;
Rut when we turned her sweet unlearned eye
On our own isle, she raised a Joyous cry
:.0h yes. L see it, Ietty's home is there
And while she hid all England with kiss,
Bright over Europe fell her golden hair.
