THE CAR IN PR0VERB

In a recent number Of the Paris FL
garo were foundrcollated some charac-
teristic Russian proverbs that regard
the Czar and his position and find
much current application:
"The crown does not protect the
Car from headache"
Even the lungs OF the Car cannot
blow out the sun.
"The Cars back. too, would bleed
if Il were gashed with the knout.
The Czar even covered with boils
is declared to be in good health.
The Cars arm is long, but it cam
not reach to heaven.
Neither can the Cars vinegar
make anything sweet.
THE hand Of the Czar. too, has only
five fingers.
THE voice OF the Car has an echo
even when there are no mountains in
the vicinity.
1T is not more dificult for Death TO
carry a fat Car than TO carry a lean
beggar
"The tear in the eye Of the Gar
costs his country many many hand

what the Car cannot accomplish
time can do.

MEN

True Bills Found Against
Four Employees of Big
Meat Firm
IMPEOED SERVING OF SUBPOENA

Chicago, April 14--Four men, three
pf whom are employees of Schwarzschifd
& sulzberger, meat packers, and one an
attorney for that corporation, were
named in an iRdictment returned by
a federal grand jury which is investi-
eating the alleged beef trust
1t is charged that the four men OBJ
structed and impeded Deputy Marshal
A. A. Bach in effoIts to serve a sub
poena on Edwin B. Fish, a clerk en-
ployed by Schwarzschild & Sulzberger.
Fish recently returned from Canada.
The men indicted are: Joseph Weis-
senbach, attorney for Schwarzschild &
Sulzberger; B. S. Cusey, traffic manager
for the company; George D. Hopkins,
auditor for the company; Leo S Joseph.
employed in the provision department
Of the concern.
The indictment alleges that a sub
poena was issued for Fish on March 5;
that this subpoena was given to Bach
for service; that the four men had ar
ranged for the departure of Fish from
the United States to Canada, and as
sisted him in leaving the jurisdiction
of the court.
Attorney Weissenbach, who was for
several years an assistant to Governor
Deneen when the latter was states at
torney in Chicago, declares that it was
at his instance that Fish returned from
Canada and agreed to go before the
grand jury. This is not denied by the
government officers. Weissenbach also
declares that he has never seen OF
spoken to Hopkins, has never spoken
to Cusey concerning Fish, and asserts
that Joseph was never in any manner
interested in the affair.
The four men were taken into GUS
'tody shortly after the return of the in
dictments, and were released in bonds
of $1,000 in each case.

EDITORIAL OPINION
The FaIIure Of the aArt senae. ?

From the Florida Times Union.
It has been an accepted theory that
the man gifted with the real artistic
perception had treasure that partoolx
.of the nature Of instinct-if a reason
for his opinion was not always forth
coming this was because the quality
.of expression was lacking to him as to
the dog or horse; not to be urged
against the authority Of the feeling"
But now they show a statue I'm New
York which some declare to be "Prax-
itelean" in the sense that it is the
work of the Greek sculptor. Of one Of
his scholars, or the product OF his
time; others with names equally FAM
Gus denounce the poor Aphrodlte as
modern, as a fraud. But all agree
that it is beautiful, worthy Of all ad-
lmiration, and such % close copy OF
nature at her best that it is tri-
lumph of art.
With these learned and most cap-
liable critics we have no dispute. But
we have a word to say in which we an
have an interest. If the work be
worthy Of the best period OF Greek
art why should we be ashamed TO
admire and applaud? If il be just
from the studio of q modern, why not
be justly proud that we have at last
lequalled the old masters? We have
many exquisite statues from Greece;
should we not prefer to have few as
fine from our own time?
What's the matter with a modern

the flesh; unless the artist be lacking.
why should we not have her I'm stone ?
We still worship Aphrodlte i'm our
heart Of arts, unless we have ceased to

THE AGRICULTURAL DEPART.
MENT.

THE old Bureau Of Agriculture sat
Il ished itself with distributing a
few garden seeds and having printed
very elaborate reports. In the matter
OF Improving American agriculture il
did little and when an effort was made
to transform the bureau into de-
partment with cabinet officer at it's
head it was regarded IN many quar-
ters as an absurdity, and as having
its origin in a desire to throw sop
to the farmers.
But when It became a fullhedged
department it seemed to feel that Il
was necessary to Justify its new dig
nifty; and under its present head 1t is
demonstrating how useful such
branch Of our government can be.
Already It has taught the farmers
Of all sections a great deal about soils,
fertilizers, the selection Of seeds and
plants and the eradication OF plant
pests and diseases. The advanced
farmer has come to regard suggestions
from the department not as mere
learned theories, but as practical hints
valuable when put into practice by
him. Il has already been demon
strated that many bushels OF corn can
be added TO the yield per acre simply
by proper selection Of the seed. and
the same lesson is made to apply to
other crops.
Recently the plan has been adopted
Of sending out trained men who under
stand these subjects thoroughly and
who know how to use terms that any
farmer can understand. to address
gathering Of agriculturlsts. At these
meetings ali sorts of practical ques-
tions are asked and answered.
The advantage does not consist sole
ly in the information impaired. but lies
in the awakening Of the farmers. In
these days the farmer reads and uses
his head. He is exempllfylng the ex-
perlence of the age that each branch Of
industry demands specialists. experts
