five years the. sands of Joseph Gary's
life had been running their course, and
when the final grain had dropped he
had gained the things that are sought
after and cherished as GENEROUSLY as
gold-the love and veneration of his
fellows.
Joseph E. Gary was born in Potts
dam, n. Y, July 8, 1921, his parents
being of puritan stock. He became a
carpenter and then studied law. In
1913 he came west to st. Louis, work
ing at the bench and reading law dur
ing spare time until 1874, when he was
admitted to the bar in st. Louis, where
he remained until the gold diggings at

practiced law and dabbied in mining.
While en- route to the west he met
Murray f. Tuley in Las Vegas, N. NJ,
and in 1856 he located in Chicago,
where he found Nj. Tuley They
formed law partnership and their
close personal friendship continued
until the death of Judge Tuley.

This remarkable development is due
to the Dowager Empress, who since the
Boxer movement has been a staunch
progressist. That the development will
not be retarded when this remarkable

he also occupies the unique position

According to Chinese tradition and
belief, the Emperor is responsible, as a

will in time be abated would appear
from the recent report Of commission

Sir Almeroth E. Wright, the noted Lon

discovery of the opsonic index, which
indicates the power of the blood to de-
stroy diseased germs, is now visiting in

address at the Philadelphia College of
Physicians. He said he had reached the
conclusion after much experimentation,
that meteorological incubation is the
best means to fight any disease that owes
its inception to germs not excepting even
tuberculosis. The general plan of treat

he sat as an ex-officjO Judge of the

Probably the most notable utterance
by Judge Gary was that on the sen
fencing OF the anarchists, some of
whom We're hanged Nov, II, 1887. He
said in part:
The people of the country love their
institutions. They love their homes They
love their property. They will never con
sent that by violence and murder those
institutions shall be broken down, their
homes despoiled and their property de-
stroyed. And the people are strong enough
to protect and sustain their institutions
and to punish all offenders against their
laws; and those who threaten d1nger to
civil society, if the law is eiIsorced. are
leading to destruction whoever may at
tempt to execute such threats.
The existing order of society can be
changed only by the will of the majority.
Each man has full right to advocate by
speech or print such opinions as suit him
self; but If he proposes murder as &
means of enforcing them he puts his own
life at stake; and no clamor about free
speech, or evils to be cured, or wrongs
to be redressed will shield him from the
consequences of his crime. His liberty
is not license to destroy.

Farmer Wilson, who hangs on to the

about the proposed meat merger that

''We have grand juries to listen and

And we have penitentiaries.'
1t is true there is a bureau of cor

absolutely in the dark about what it

The official order book of church mem
bership in Germany, issued by Pastor
Schneider Of EIberfeld, as translated and
reviewed by the Literary Digest, shows
that the number of conversions from the
Roman Catholic church TO the Protestant
is considerably greater than those who
have gone from the Protestant ranks into
the Roman faith. According to this au-
thority, 1919 members of the Catholic
church in Germany became Protestants
between 1890 and 1894, while only 1864
went from Professionalism to Catholicism.
The order book draws attection to, the
fact that not only in the empire as q
whole, but in each and every State the
Protestants have been making the greater
gains. Relatively these are much greater
in France than elsewhere.

sowing of Winter When.

At the proper time for seeding, win
ter wheat is sown. using the press drill.
Unless Hessian fly is to be fought the
wheat is drilled in about the middle OF
September. This method Of treatment
accomplishes two things. the plowed
land will take up more Of the rainfall
than unbroken stubble, and ii Will
store it up for the use OF the wheat
crop. The early blowing and subse-
quent dislzing and narrowing make a
fine. weIl-compacted subsoll free from
large air spaces and give a fine, loose
surface. Such a seed-bed is ideal for
wheat. The moisture stored up en-
ables the young plants to make a good,
vigorous start and to develop a strong
root system before freezing weather
stops the growth. They are thus much
better able to withstand the rigors Of
winter.
The fourth year. after the wheat
crop is harvested, the soil is treated
lust as for the oat crop. If the land
Is IN fairly good shape. the rotation Is
repeated by putting into the corn the
felI0wing spring. If the land shows
that it IS running down In fertility,
It is seeded ia the fall to grass, IL
the season Is wet enough, sowing the
grass about the last Of August or the
first Of September. Fall blowing gives
a crop that first year, thus saving the
loss OF the knd for one season. II too
dry for fall seeding, the land is sown
to grass the following spring. The land
is TINS left in grass from two to five
years, when 1t is again broken up and
put under cultivation.

While the selling price OF hay has
in the past, as a rule, largely deter
mined the value of corn, fodder, the
time is at hand when, regardless q The
price of hay, such a system Of han
ding the corn crop should be adopted
as will put an end to. the enormous
waste which is annually witnessed In
practically all Of the corn belt west
of the Mississippi river. A more care
full and sensible handling Of the stalk
and leaves of this important cereal
plant will mean the addition of many
acres TO the farm area. The hitherto
wasteful methods which have prevailed
in this respect have without doubt been
due to the existence of large farms,
relatively cheap land and that system
of handling the crops which marketed
the products of the soil in the shape
of the grain itself rather than In the
more condensed form of butter, pork
and beef However, with land values
steadily increasing and more and more
time being devoted to dairylng and
stock raising. a condition has arisen
which practically compels more thrift
and care ia the handling Of this most
important farm crop.

The Cost of Living.

Bradstreet's index numbers of prices
for October show the highest point
reached since 1896 and indicate that
the cost of living has advanced nearly
so per cent since July 1, 1895. The adj
vance since 0efober, 1905, has been 3.S
per cent, so that prices are still rapidly
advancing. AS the index numbers are
based on every necessity except rent
and approximately agree with those
issued by the r. g. Dur Co., they are
much more reliable than the figures
issued by the Bureau of Labor for par
tisan purposes.
The following thirteen groups of
commodities with the index numbers at
different dates win be Of great interest
to all, but especially to those with in
comes that do not fuctuate with prices
and are therefore 30 per cent worse off
than in 1896:

Morning the Crops.

Wall street is having its annual
trouble of tight money, although the
administration has loaned the Wall
street and other national bankers over
S15O,OOOOOO of the public money with
out interest. AS interest rates are very
high, both call and time money bring
ing G per cent and over and has been
even as high as 80 per cent for a snort
period, it will be seen What great
profit the bankers are making from TINS
enormous loan of the public funds. AS
nearly all the banks of the country
keep an account with one OF the New
York banks, when there is slack de
mand in the country these deposits OF
the country banks with the New York
banks are greatly augmented, for the
reason that the Wall street banks pay
interest of 2 to per cent on daily
balances. But when the farmers begin
to market their crops, the wheat and
other produce buyers begin to use their
money on deposit with the country
bankers and also borrow of the banks
they do business with enough money
to buy the products the farmers are
selling This crop movement eompels
the country banks to draw upon their
deposits in the Wall street banks and
at other monetary centers and immedl-
ately the Wall street bankers begin to
howl they must have more money to
move the crops.
AS the Wall street bankers loan their
surplus money to the stock specu .6ors
they are compelled to cali these loans
made to brokers and others, so that the
deposits of the country banks can be
returned to them. Instead OF wall
street banks furnishing the money to
move the crops they are merely return
ing the money of the country banks to
be used for that purpose.
The real cause of the periodical Wall
street money squeeze is that the bank
ers and their chief customers are load
ed down with railroad and industrial
stocks and bonds, for which no market
can be found at renunerative prices.
The public with money to invest have
found other investments more, safe and
profitable and as there is a constant
further issue of stocks and bonds, the
amount controlled by the Wall street
interests is increasing. Many of these
stocks are pure water" that is, there
money they represent, but interest is
paid ON them, or is expected to be paid
on them in the near future.
There is plenty of money in the
country to carry on all legitimate bust
ness, but under the Republican policy
of tariff protection and loaning the sur
plus public money to favored national
banks which naturally finds its way
to Wall street for use, because the
profits are greater there than elsewhere,
there has grown UP an era of trust
and corporation imitation, by issuing
vast amounts of stocks and even bonds,
which have to be financed by Wall
street
The bankers are now joining in
movement for change in the banking
law, so that they can issue more notes
based ON assets, and unless the people
of the country pay heed and instruct
their Representatives in Congress to be
careful of legislating in the interest of
Wall street, they will find the money
power provided with another instru-
ment to bleed them. There are already
too many laws which allow the few to
benefit at the expense of the many.

I tered by the fact that the cost of liv-
ing has increased much faster than
wages have under this Republican sys-
tenn and the wage-earners are revolving
against the Republicans. having dis
covered their prosperity is not en-
HANGED by the plundering of the tariff
protected trusts that high protection
has fostered.
But the great argument of our mod
ern standpat statesmen is that to re-
wise the tariff would upset the present
prosperity. But in fact we have pros
pered in spite of the drawback of pro-
lection and chiefly because Of free
trade between the States which has
produced an enormous traffic from one
State to another without the blighting
influence Of high taxation.
If the tariff was so revised that in
stead of protecting the trusts, the rates
were fixed to produce enough revenue
to run the government, honestly and
economically administered, how far
greater our prosperity would be. Our
trade with other lands and theirs with
ours would be vastly extended and in
stead of the trusts selling cheaper to
foreigners than to our own people we
would have the choice of the markets
of the world to buy and sell in.
With free raw material our manu-
facturers would compete in every mar
u r,E
ing nearly 80 per cent higher than IL
was ten years ago and wages being
less than 20 per cent higher-a clear
loss of 80 per cent to the wage-earners
the two would so adjust themselves
that the workingman and those with
fixed incomes would participate in the
prosperity that is now monopolized by
the trusts and the few at the expense
Of the many.
