EDITORIAL OPINION
The DEPARTMENT Of AqrieuIture.


From the Louisville Courier-Journal
There are at Washington various ex-
ecutive departments, with a Cabinet OH
Ger 1T the head of each. established for
the transaction of public business. They
were not an created at once. but from
time to time as the need Of them was
felt The Department Of state is in the
maln foreign Office and the Federal
Government has exclusive control Of our
forelsn relations The Treasury Depart
ment looks after the Federal revenue aud
rs disbursement The Departments Of
War and the Navy are charged with the
public defense and the carrying on of war,
whieh is exclusively Federal business.
The Post-ofllce Department looks after
the mails which are carried al public ex-
pense The Department OF Justice is
charged with the enforcement Of the laws
of Congress. The Interior Department
was created to look after various public
interests NOT embraced Ia the others All
these are needed 10 discharge functions
which are not only public but which are
tho special business Of the Federal gov
eminent There IS also the Department OF
Commerce and Labor Commerce is pri.
vate business. and the Constitution gives
TO Congress the right 10 regulate CONF
merca between the States and with for
eign countries, and the regulation is pub

Agriculture is private business II ia
an occupation which employs more peo-
pie than amy other, but they work for
themselves or for private employers.
Ihe relative importance of this employ
nent was put forward as a reason why
II should be represented in the Cabinet
and IL was finally erected into a DEPART
meni u was the first department Gre
ated to look after private business The
precedent so made has melted other
branches of business to ask for similar
representation. The manufacturers. the
physicians and people engaged in other
gainiul emploSments occasionally ask TO
nave Cabinet officers to represent theii
business. There are not so MANY OF
them MS Of those engaged i'm agriculture

ible arguments To show how important

MIpvALE.ARMoR PLATE.

~ HE most careful tests Of Midyale
\ armor plate by the government
have revealed that the armor is first
class in every way. In fact the test at
Indian Head shows that this armor is
not only up TO the required standard
but the best the government has ever
tested.
This means that the contract the
Midvale company has with the govern
ment will be executed, and it also
means that future armor contracts viii
be let on new basis
It was only by great effort that the
company was able to secure small
contract The trust maintained that
the independent company could not
make good armor. and could not turn
il out as per contract.
The Carnegie ana Bethlehem com
panies have been charging S42O a. ton.
claiming that this is reasonable price.
while the Midvale company figures a
proht at $685. a ton.
Now this test means one of two
things; either that the Midvale must
enter the trust, or the Carnegie and
Bethlehem companies must materially
reduce prices. As the trust mas already
made the Midvale tempting offers
which have been refused, it looks as
though the trust would have to accept
such prices in the future as satisfy the
Midvale company.

Nebraska is more modest in her ex-
pectations. Her yield this year is es-

about 5o.Oooooo bushels is her high

Beside such figures the wheat crop
OF Delaware is almost too trining to
mention. and when we consider the
fact that there are thousands Of acres
that have TO be fer0lized and coaxed

His Position Dangerous.

Berlin. Mar. A dispatch to the
Tageblatt from ST. Petersburg says:
General Kuropatkin in a telegram
which arrived here last night said
26O Japanese had broken through the
Russian left wing and that they were
cut off from the remainder of the ar
my.
At ten o'clock another dispatc CHI
from Kuropatkin said: 1.-The Japan
ese are marching on Mukden. Ny po-
sition is extremely dangerous In
government circles today in Berlin
there is a conviction that Kuropatkin
has been fully defeated and part of
his army dispersed and that the rail-
road north of Mukden will probably
be cut
