states surplus shipments during 1905
This bulletin deals with cereals. show

brought 10 the farmers S13. sos. 332i3
while from their corn shipments they
realized only S3.727. 40s.C8. though the
number % bushels OF corn shipped was
more than one-half those Of the wheat
shipments. One feature explaining the
vast difference between the sums real
ized for these Two products Is that ufa
corn was fed TO stock, and went 10
market in that way. According TO the
governments statistics, the total yield
Of corn IN the state for 1905 was 205.-
294. 79s bushels, valued at s75.2l9.0I5
These figures. then, show that 1885,

consumed at home. The total wheat
crop was 2S.022.S3s bushels. valued at
so, 1851, or less than one-thirj the
value Of the corn crop. These figures
show that 10.OS7.5G9 bushels Of wheat
were consumed at home. The yield OF

az $5.905. iG6. and the surplus shipments
Of this crop leave the home consump-
ton at t7,69262S. This crop. like the
corn crop, was largely fed 70 stock

That judges should be Influenced
by outside considerations in the
adjudication of suits before them
is intolerable, and yet we have it
gravely stated from the capital
that the Attorney General is
affected by the same distrust
which has affected the body of
the population for some time. II
the report be true. it has the
gravest significance, and even if
it be not true the mere fact that
such a rumor should get abroad
and obtain credenc is disturbing.
In view of the situation the pub
lie will regard the bringing OF
the suit with grave concern and
will follow it's course, and es-
pecially the rulings Of the judge
before whom it is tried, with the
keenest interest.

THE SPIRIT OF INQUIRY

DIR. Bennett in his remarks
Thursday afternoon spoke of the
need of foste ring in the child the
habit of inquisitiveness. This
will probably strike many who
have often become impatient OF
the innumerable questions OF
their children as a new idea.
Yet on consideration it will be
seen that he is right. Inquisi-
tiyeness is the birth gift of every
child, it is the method supplied
by nature for the development of
his mind and it is to this faculty
that all growth is due. Neglect
of it is a frequent source of its
wrong direction, resulting in de-
formity of character. Repres-
sion is the too frequent cause OF
stupidity of the kind that stops
growth. The question mark is
the sign that represents enlight-
eminent, for it is only the inquiring
mind that learns and profits by
what it learns. And when the
great body of a nation no longer
asks the why and wherefOreas the
child seeks knowledge, then their
destruction as a nation becomes
a certainty in the revolution of
time.
Where the spirit of interroga-
ton prevails there is intellectual
activity and free government.
Good citizens live and thrive in
such an atmosphere. Men cease
to be controlled in party meas
ures in droves and the spectacle
of a whole State voting blindly
the same party ticket. for years
becomes an impossibility. The
stupidity that accepts without
question. that allows others to
think for him, that sheep.like, fol-
lows the leader, can not exist
where people become as a little
child" and ask questions in the
earnest desire for knowledge.
And to the cultivation of this
spirit must we look for improve
ment in our social institutions,
the preservation of our liberties,
the development of a higher civ
ilization and the maintenance of
the integrity of our nation.
The Lafayette advertiser. [volume] (Vermilionville [i.e. Lafayette], La.) 1865-19??, 1906-11-21

That il rather a remarkable
statement which comes from
Washington respecting the de-
termination of the situs of the

the government against the
Standard Oil Company. It is
said that Attorney General
Moody. a high judiciary official
of the government, who has been
named by the President for a
position on the Supreme Court
of the United States, is looking
over the list of Federal judges to
find a man who in his opinion
would not be averse to Furnishing
q great corporation for infraction
of the law.
Has it indeed come to this,
that q Judge must be searched
for to apply the law against 9
corporation simply because it is
powerful and wealthy? Have

THE S0FT-COAL MINERS
ADJOURNED AT COLUMBUS
WITHOUT AGREEMENT.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June THE joint
scale committee of the miners and oper-
ators adjourned today without agreement.
DILLONVALE, Ohio June 7.-Conditions
at the Bradley and Plum Run mines were
about as they have been since the advent
of the soldiers Everything was quiet and
the indications are that the situation will
remain SO. Last night delegation of nom
union miners. numbering about twenty
were taken from Plum Run to the Bradley
Mine and it is understood this force will
clean up the mine and get it in shape for
resumption at once 1t is the intention of
the company to start the mine at once. 1t
is said. unless some agreement Is reached
by the miners and operators now in conven-
ton at Columbus.
From an official of the mining company
the Information was received today that a
force of couple of hundred men are now
waiting at Pittsburg and other points east,
and that as soon as It is determined there
Will be no agreement reached at Columbus
these men will be brought in to Bradley
and placed in the mines under the protec-
ton of the soldiers.
strikers are destitute and likely to desert
from the union were denied today by the
miners officials and many of the men II is
true some of the men are in straightened
circumstances, but none Is In condition
bordering upon starvation. There was no
demonstration of any kind by the strikers
last night or early today when the strike
breakers were taken to Bradley although
there probably would have been trouble
had 1t not been for the soldiers.
Yesterday the information was that the
soldiers would probably get away from
Bradley, Plum Run and Dillonvale by Sum
day, but today the report is that orders
have been received from Columbus to keep
the troops in this field for the next ten
days. This news Is O. great disappointment
to the men, as they were anxious to leave.
A meeting of the striking miners of Ram
SEVILLE and Adena Is being held at the lat
ter place today, and there are thousands OF
the strikers present from all sections of
this district.
Many of the strikers from Dillonvale and
other points along the Wheeling and Lake
Erie and Adena and beyond have gone to
attend the meeting. The strikers are anx-
iously awaiting reports from the conference
of the miners and operators at Columbus
and 1t is possible that unless something Is
done pretty soon looking toward a settle
ment some of the men may break away
from the ranks and go back despite the ef-
forts OF the officials to keep them in line.
