seven months ago, when the republi-
can national convention pledged it,
self anew to the continuance of the
policy of protection, pledged itself to
undertake tariff revision only when
conditions existed that should i'm
peratively require such revision for
the best good of the whole country?
What condition exists today that
did not exist in the political cam
paign which began with the assembly
of the convention in June and ended
with the verdict of the people at the
ballot box on the eight Of November
last?
During that campaign, not one word
was uttered by the thousands of speak
ers employed in the republican cause
that pointed toward the tearing up of
the present tariff law. On the
contrary, the republican campaign was
rightly and wisely conducted upon the
wisdom, the effectiveness, the bene-
ficence of republican tariff policies and
republican tariff legislation"

of the grain been perfect, and had each
hill produced its own quote, the same
crop that was grown upon 100000
acres could have been produced upon
100000 acres Of land. The efforts of
the professors who are going about the
state on all the different lines of rail-
road are to induce the farmers to adopt
plan of testing seed corn and plant
ing their fields that will insure, If not
a perfect stand, one that will show
a greater percentage Of productivity
than sixty-f1ve per cent. The plan is
one whose adoption cannot help but
benefit the farmer. 1t Is not, as some
think, plan to sell seed corn, for the
lecturers say explicitly that the best
results are to be obtained if the seed
corn is not imported into the district
where it is to be planted. 1t should
be grown by the farmer who Is to use
it, tested by him, and planted accord.

tage of the opportunity thus offered.

BEN HuR.

Burlington Hawk Eye.-Since the
death Of the author, much has been
said of that very successful novel
Ben Hur." No one will dispute the
fact that the book has been mag
nificent success. 1t brought it's au-
thor wealth and fame But, after all
~ it a great literary work? Will it
live? And to these questions the
best judgment of the country perhaps
reluctantly replies in the negative.
The novel caught the public fancy, be-
cause 1t dealt with a subject, that had
hitherto not been treated profanely In
this country, and the public taste or
sentiment. that would not tolerate the
reproduction Of the beautiful Oberam
mergau Passion Play" and that
found serious objection to "Parsifar
the publication of this Tale of the
Christ" romances of this class have
been turned out in number, but none
attained the popularity of Ben Hur."
1t has been claimed, that it was but
means of introducing fiction to mil
lions Of Americans. who looked with
horror upon the novel. OF course, in
q tale like Ben Hur" there could be
no harm, while there was danger In
the very purest and best novels.
Perhaps the most popular bit in ben
Hur", Is the chariot race. Quida pic
lures a race In Under Two Flags"
that is greater piece of descriptive
writing than the chariot race, but
Quida Is a novelist pure and simple.
and Ben Hur" is book, that accord
ing to some people Is not to be meas
ured with the same standards that APP
ply to other books. Conceded that 1t
is thrilling, but so is very much, that
Is tabooed in literature.
Now. omen the hook at random IF
opens naturally at the chariot race,
the word picture with which all are
familiar. There the author says:
"There had never been anything Of the
kind more simply done; seldom any
thing so instantaneous" In the rush
and hurry of daily newspaper work.
such writing might be excused, and on
some papers it probably would not.
But how about literature where every
page, every word Is supposed to have
been carefully considered. And that is
no single instance.
If ben Hur" were not 'Tale of
the Christ it would not have won
popularity and fame, and 1t would
have been found no better than many
other lively, picturesque, perhaps dra-
matte stories, against which it was
formerly the fashion to warn the read
ing public, as sinful and dangerous
The free library is doing great work
along these lines. 1t is teaching people
to judge for themselves. And they be.
gin to find that some things that were
described as very bad, are not at all
SO, and that some books that were
praised beyond measure are no better
than many others that were placed or
| the expurgated list.

a quarter Of million capital stock.
The new company has purchased 800
acres of coal land and the large opera
house block in Lucas and in the near
future will open a large stock of gen
eral merchandise. The company now
holds coal rights. including leases on
about $500 acres, all of which is I'M
derlaid with coal Of fine quality, from
three and one-half to seven feet in
thickness. David Reed, of Chicago,
who controls several large mines in
Illinois and Indiana. is president of the
company. This deal including the pur.
chase Of coal rights, involves change
Of something over $250,0OO. The out.
put of the mine at present is about
$50 tons per day, but the new company
soon expects to double that amount.
