Pototoes are
Too Plentiful

St. Paul Trade Journal: The
local potato market is in a de-
moralized condition. Third
street dealers have potatoes to
burn and the price is about what
they want to pay. Any quantity
of fancy cellar kept potatoes are
being offered by farmers at as.
low as IL cents a bushel.
This condition of the potato
market has been brought about
through the action Of country
holders last fall in refusing to sell
potatoes at that time at a fair
market price. INSCRIPTIONS
dealers, aided by trade paper
writers who did not know their
business, got up a big scare
about potato rot and the result
was that farmers and many
country dealers made put their
minds to hold their potatoes in
anticipation of a fancy price this
spring.
At that time st. Paul Trade
made a careful canvass of the
situation, and informed its
country readers thatthe rot scare
p4gas simply a scare, and that the
potato crop would be big. 1t
was. It was the biggest we
have ever had. We advised our
readers to market their potatoes
while the price was good. Those
that did not follow out advice
have had the cost and trouble Of
keeping the potatoes, and will
now be compelled to sell them ait
considerably less than they
might have received last fall.

PRAISE FOR NEW BISHOP.
DR.. Potter Says DR.. Darlington Is
WOrthq IN HIS Nature.

Preaching In Christ Protestant Episcopal Church,
Bedford-ave near Division-ave., Brooklyn, OF
which the Rev. Dr. James H Darlington is rector
yesterday morning Bishop Henry c. Potter took
occasion to congratulate DR. Darlington on his
recent election as bishop of the diocese Of Harris
burg, Penn, and to say a few words about the
honors and duties of bishops. He spoke from the
text Of St Paul's departure for Jerusalem. The
"parochial type" of clergyman Bishop Potter said
was not always fitted TO be a bishop. because he
rarely looked the WALL confined his in
terest his own parish and could isolate himself
from those who did not agree with him.
You cannot do that ne added. If you are
bishop for in the first place you have related to
you a group of men, quite a number OF whom are
or believe themselves to be, your peers. and again
you are an administrative authority. You cannot
build a wall around Christ Church. or Brooklyn,
or the diocese of Long Island the United
States and say TO the rest of the world: Go
the devil. If religion means anything it means
that we are all in the family OF Father
Your rector has not that parochial mind or heart
but he has precisely the kind of mind and heart
that ought TO be in bishop of the Church of
Cod
Turning to DR.. Darlington and addressing him.
Bishop Potter continued:
My brother, because believe you are worthy in
your nature. in your training; because you are in
that work, want 10 say TO you that we who
will presently be your brothers in the prelacy
welcome you and. because in that great field to
which you come you Will have unworthy op-
portunlty to Speak to man for God and hasten the
coming of His kingdom earth ] am l may
say to you on behalf Of both ourselves and thess
tears the Lord God be with you and be thy
strength and reward to the end.

THE SIMPLE YET STRENUOUS LIFE
DR.. Macarthur Says Lincoln Is President
Roosevelts Pattern in Both.

The Rev. DR.. R. S. Macarthur. at Cavalry Bap-
tist Church in West J7th-st.. last night preached
on THE Simple Life After citing examples
of men who led the simple yet strenuous life Abra-
ham Lincoln. General Grant and President Nc
Kiney, he said:
In this noble succession of the examples of
strenuosity combined with simplicity stands pre-
eminently conspicuous Theodore Roosevelt. He is
to-day the most striking figure the interna tonal
stage. He stands before the world to-day as the
foremost man in either continent. His is a
synonyme for the strenuous life and 1t is not less
for the simple life.
President Roosevelt is giving inspiration and
hope to boys and men of every color. creed and
social rank throughout the world to-day. In him
life is simplicity itself far as concerns honesty
and sincerity, and, at the same time, lfe's strenu-
osity is shown far courage, heroism and
achievement are concerned. He is touching the
worlds heart to-day few have affected it
in human history. He has gloriously made Mr.
Lincoln. in his rugged love of liberty the ideal of
his life. There is hope for a nation that glo-
res in the life of Abraham Lincoln. and there is
better proof that the nation is not degenerating
than TO know that it glories in President to-day
who has made Lincoln his pattern.
