FREE sssD Hu,6Buo SCORED.

In considering the house bill making appropriations for the department of agriculture for the fiscal year ending June 70. 1907. the question of the flee distribution of rarc and valuable seeds was warmly discussed, and a general disposition shown to abolish this much abused gratuity. In this opinion Re. preventative Gaines of Tennessee did not concur; he assured his colleagues hc sboald vote for the retention of the free seed graft, Ito help down this in. famous trust business that is in this country" r'
 Just how far the free distribution of seeds would effect this grcatly.to.be de, desired contamination, the Tenncsseean did not explain, but, when questioned he declared the measure would get his vote because 1t was the only thing not in l" trust excepting himself. l.i.
 Representative Henry of Conaseticut " right in believing that . healthy public sentiment is insisting upon . reform in this uuwise expenditure of public funds for this petty graft. In the fiscal year ending June 30, leO8, the appropriation for the purchase of seeds for free distribution was nearly $2eO,o0o, of which less than onc.hsIf was expended for the actual buying of seeds, the remaindcs going for packet. ing, mailing, salaries and miscellaneous expense incurred in the distribution. q
 In it's introductory stage, the plan to aid the farmers of the country in experimental planting was all right, hut tt has wandered so far from the or. 'ginni intent of congress that the prac. tiee has ceased to be . virtue. It is n humbug, pure and simple, . cheap votc'catehing method of representatives living in m agricultural district, whose petty pcrquisite they hate to sec absn. doned. Aside from this class, nobody wants to see the free seed fraud con. tinued. Secretary Wilson Is opposed to 1t, and the National Grange and other farmers organizations have full. minated against it. Turn it over to Hearst.

States, merely brings the day of reck. oning perceptibly nearer.
 States that arc oil producers, as we'll as consumers, suffer most heavily at the hands of the trust, and California, which supplied much of the material for the Garfield report, is deeply inter. ested in this question. Not only is oil used fos fuel in great quantities in that state, but much of it's capital i' invested in the independent companiss which arc diseriminated against in ia. vor of tho trust. "An especially large number of secret rates and rebates was found in California;" says the report These amount, it is estimated, to A20O, 900 a year.
 So far as these rebates apply to bust. ness wholly within the state, of course the federal government has not, nor can 1t obtain, under any rate bill, the power to regulate and correct. Tho accusing finger here points directly at the Cali. fornia state laws. The railroads nl. ways have been too influential with California legislatures. We need not look to congress for relief.
 California is vitally interested in the proposed federal railway rate legisla. tion, but not 70 much in this matter of freight charges on oil as in other ways. The oil question must be dealt with here at home. This is the psrtieu. lar meaning the Standard Oil report has for California. Az to tho rebate curss, the railroads win be glad to be relieved of that octopus.

CENsU1B or 4 FEDERAL JUDGE

in his remarkable criticism of Fed. cral Judgc Humphrey. As to the soundness of the latter's ruling, giv. ing immunity to the packers in the beef trust cases. lawyers differ The beet of them, at times, disagree with tho nndings of tho highest of all our courts, and that court itself often Is divided in it's opinions. That there was room for honest doubt in the mat. ter before Judge Humphrey is nd. mitted. No one, even the humblcst citizen, had a moral right to impugn his motive.
 Small wonder. that the special mes. sage of the President to congress, ar. raiguing the federal judge at Chi. cago, should he called one of the most sensational in the history of the coun. try. Such censurable words, coming from any responsible source, would have been notable, but the President of tho United States was the last DOT. son who might have been expected to give voice to the accusation.
 That strong willcd old bulldozer, Andrew Jackson, openly houted the supreme court, and dcAed it's mandates. But no other President, down to Roosevelt, has dealt so severe . blow at th" reputation of our courts for per. sonal integrity.
 In discussing the rate hill in the sen. stc . few days ago, scnstor spooucr mentioned the case of an attorney gen. cral of the United States who had re. buked . justice of the supreme court, whereupon Senator Bailey reminded the senator from Wisconsin of tho Roosevelt. Humphrey Incident. Sen, ator Spooner replied;
 "I stand with all my heart and soul for tho distribution of powers between the three independent coordinate branches of the government, and re-. gard 1t ss fundamental that none of thcse should he invaded by the others. It will be n sorry day for the United States when tho courts become terrorix. cd by either congress or the executive. The place to correct the errors of the inferior courts is the great tribunal created for that purpose"
 This ia sound doctrine. It is the cornerstone of our constitution. Diver. gencc from this principle threatens the whole framework of our government
 Az . private citizen, Mir. Roosevelt would have been free to question the quality of the law administered by . judge, but, even then, he would not be justified in attacking the honor of the court, when there was room for req. sonablc doubt. To do 30 officially, as President of the United States, is to create a most harmful precedent, and dcroRate the dignity of his high office. The President appoints the federal judges They depend upon him for promotion. Anything that savers of coercion in the relations of the execu. tive and judiciary will always meet with rebuke from the nation.

Low WAGES IN RUSSIA.
Farm Laborers Get Little Above a
Bare Subsistence.

The extreme poverty and the low
standard of living of peasants from
whom the Russian agricultural labor
ers are recruited assure low level Of
wages for agricultural labor. The av-
erage wages will appear almost in
credibly low from an American point
of view. notwithstanding the general
complaints of the estate holders con-
corning the unreasonable demands Of
the laborers.
According to an official investigation
embracing the decade of 1S82-1S91, the
average annual wages for male agri-
cultural worker in Russia were less
than $32 and for female worker less
than $1S, To this must be added the
cost of subsistence, which is equally
low, being on an average s24 for a
male and s22 for female worker for
whole year; so that the average
cost OF employing laborer for the
entire year is equal to only $50 for
the male and $40 for the female.
The Wages for the summer season
Of Ave months are almost equal to
the annual wnges. being s22 for tho
male aud sla for tho female labOrer.
