PORK FOR THE BABY.

The helplessness OF some women

OF feeding babies was brought out
at the end OF last week at the coro-
ner's court at Leigh. A child OF two
years had been killed by a meal OF
liver and bacon and beefsteak, and
the mother could not realize that
there was anything extraordinary In
the diet. Medical men who practice
in Ancoats wage continuous battle
against this sort OF thing, and one
of them, at a meeting OF the Ancoats
healthy homes society, told some ex-
periences that would have been anus

COMPARATIVELY RECENT
YEARS.

Washington, April 5.-The grow
ing Importance OF tho tobacco indus
try may be realized from n brief
summary OF the estimates OF the
value of the crop in the United
states I'm the season of 1906. About
'9b,O99 acres OF tobacco were grown
producing an average yield OF S57.2
pounds TO the acre, or total OF
6S2,42S,53O pounds. The average
value of the crop was ten cents per
pound, or a total of about $6s,23s,-
Gi1 While Il Is almost impossible TO
comprehend the magnitude OF the
value OF the manufactured products
of tobacco, glance at the total fig
pros may convey some idea OF the
development of this great and dis
tinctiye American industry. In 1900
The total value of the manufactured
products of tobacco was $2S3,O76.-
'46. I'm the manufacture 147.177
people were employed who earned a
total wage OF $l9,S52.4SA
The United states now grows by
far the largest quantity of tobacco

was one of their principal cash crops.

THE UGLINESS
OF 1T ALL

The Hartman episode
serves one great public purpose. Like
the insurance Investigation it ex-
poets, In all its ugliness, the evil Of
campaign funds obtained from big
contributions made by corporations
directly or by individuals represent
ing powerful financial interests.
When such a contribution is made Il
creates a corresponding obligation on
the part of the elected public of
ficials--at least that is the way the
financial interests look at the matter.
The elected official may himself be
entirely innocent of any pledge but
he has accepted the aid OF the party
machine, and he is expected to make
good every obligation it has assumed
If the contribution is $4,000, It
means, in the view of the individual
making it, $4,000 worth OF "protec-
ton" or it may be a United States
ssnatorship or an embassadorship to
France
The whole system is iniquitous. It
has grown up because the increasing
cost of conducting campaigns makes
1t necessary to obtain larger and
larger funds, and because the law
prohibited the levying Of assessments
upon officeholders one way or an
other must be found for cutting this
corrup link between the politics Of
business and the business of politics
