Corn Saves the Day.

King Corn is to the front today as
never before and is making record Of
which we may well be proud. In the
export list he stands we'll toward the
top. This is fortunate thing for the
export trade balance of our country,
for we have fallen behind greatly in
foreign shipments Of wheat and -four,
due principally to the fact that we pro-
duced so little last year. AS to corn,
the experts told us last season that the
production would be under 2,000,000,-
600 bushels, which, for corn, would be
a moderate crop, large as the figures
may look. The experts were wrong, for
the country turned out 1850, 100000
bushels. There is an abundant ex-
portable surplus, and altho prices are
higher than has often been the case
and more -remunerative to the farmer,
they are low enough relatively to enable
us to sell abroad, and so Europe is TAX
ing our corn in great quantities.
Countries that never before bought a
bushel are now buying. Mediterranean
countries that usually get the bulk Of
their requirements from along the
Danube river have turned this way for
lit, because Of exhaustion Of supplies at
the usual source. We are sending out
corn to the Italian cities Of Venice and

Cleveland on Women's Clubs.

+ Grover Cleveland is doing his level
best to. show that ex-presidents cumber
not the ground. He has recently made
speeches on the essentials of Chris
tianity, and now he comes forward with
a final word on the woman's club ques-
ton. He is against them, as you might
have expected. He thinks they tend to
neglect of the home and he is therefore
in favor of their suppression.
1t seems as tho every man from the
middle ages down to today who Is
against the advancement Of women IN
education or influence has hung his
argument on the convenient peg of the
neglected home. It does not seem tt
make much difference to these male i'm
fpersonators Of all the wisdom that the
women who 90 into the hard and con
$scientious work of the clubs go into il

VIII an Eagle Fight for Her Young?-

try Calendar for May, the first issue OF the

Review of Reviews Book company:
..Did the old eagle show fghtf' Is the hrst
query put by the casual listener. l always see
trace Of disappointment sweep overah1s ecounte-
nance when he hears the answer. When we hrst
scrambled over boulders of the canyon up toward
the nest saw the old eagle slip quietly from
her eggs and skim out over the mountain top.
When strapped on the climbers to ascend the
tree, I had one eye opened for trouble. But
each time we visited the spot the parents silently
disappeared and stayed away as long as we
cared to hold possession. They kept a watchful
eye, however, from the blue distance overhead.
For noble bird like the eagle this abandoning
of the nest and young seemed to me coWardly at
first.

The opinion Of the Colorado bear on t
simple life might be Of interest. #
Mr.. BRYAN as s. Socialist.

The New York World, in triple
loaded screecher,' protests against
Mr.. Bryan's scheme Of triple state, city
and national socialism. He is deter
mined, the World believes, to erect a
socialistic party, upon the ruins of the
party built by Jefferson on the very
opposite theory that the least govern
ment is the best government. 4
The Journa remarked the other
day, in discussing the Parker and Bryan
Jefferson day speeches, that if Bryan g
speech was democracy, then the party
was in fair way to adopt in 1908 q
platform which would discount in radi-
calism the platform Of 1896. There is
| no question but what the radical ele-
ment of the democratic party is feeling
full Of fight. The poor showing made
| by the conservative element in the last
campaign has had tendency to dis
credit it. It is altogether improbable
that against the rising tide Of Roose-
veltism Mr.. Bryan, or candidate chos-
| en- by him, could have done any better
than Parker. It is probable that Bel
mont & Co. are kicking themselves that
they did not let Bryan have free swing
once more. But, blinded by hatred of
the man who is trying to hold the scales
of justice as high as they have ever
been held by a president, they rushed
in and were overwhelmed, run down and
crushed. E&H. ...... :, - ",
From the election Bryan has been
taking more interest in the democratic
host. His paper has recently become
quite paternal in it's instructions to the
organizations; Mr.. Bryan has been quite
frank in his assumption of right to
dictate the platform. Altogether it is
apparent that the World is not ia,
wrong when it says that he is bound
to erect a socialist party upon the ruins
of democracy. 49, .s+-... 49,, f..
But what Mr.. Bryan may do with thu
democracy is a smaller question thar
what the senatorial junta may do will
Mr.. Roosevelt. IF it brushes him, ant
with him the hopes of the people, I
will come dangerously near making MI
Bryan's socialist party political sue
cess. 1t is not up to Mr.. Bryan t,
say whether socialism shall triumph il
this country SO much as it is up to tn
republican majority in the senate.
