 Last Saturday the Torrington Athletics played against the base ball team of this town and were not laughing quite as much when they left as they were when they came on the grounds. Pitcher Stanton excelled even himself. Short stop Tierney was crippled among the toes by dropping can of milk on them and as he tore around the bases on the only home run made the people wonder how fast he would go if he was not lame All the boys played ball and at the close of the game the score was 2-5 in favor of the locals.

Receiver Clifford of the local land Of
flee calls attention to one of the farm
delights of the present season. Mr..
Clifford remembers when hogs sold On
the market in Nebraska for two cents
a pound. He has just held sale of
Duroc Jerseys that brought an average
case, for about the time of his PaWnee
county sale a Washington county
farmer held a sale in which the aver
age price paid was $58.46, one animal
going to Boone county bidder for
$3.50 These sales We're of fancy stock,
but the market price is in strict keep
ing 1t does not take much of porker
this winter to bring better than twenty
dollars on the scales, for Nebraska
hogs are not bred for speed as Is said
to be necessary in some parts of the
south. In spite of the continued high
price of corn Nebraska farmers are
producing these high priced swine at
cost probably little if any higher
than in the earlier day Of cheaper feed.
Better stock to begin with and alfalfa
hay and pasture to grow on make the
difference. With hogs quoted close
around seven cents on the Missouri
river markets the price of Nebraska
land does not tend to fall.

Theorizing that the vitality of the
high school fraternity indicates a need
of high school human nature that must
be met, a Chicago patrons association
proposes a fraternity minus the OBJ
jectionable features as they now eN-
ist. The two leading Objectionable
features are the want of democracy
since only a limited few can gain men,
bership in fraternities; and the dangers
involved in their irresponsible secrecy.
The Chicago patrons propose to meet
the social demand for the fraternity
by a properly equipped club for high
school boys, the club to be sustained
by dues, to be in the main under con-
troll of the members, and open to ali
students of the school. The expert
ment is worth making, perhaps. but
it must be observed that the plan
leaves out the handspring in human
nature Of the fraternity namely, is
exclusiveness. If there were enough
fraterities so that everybody could
belong to one or more. 1t Is question
whether they would not fall by reason
of their very commonness, their fail
ure TO satisfy the demand for personal
distinction and exclusiveness.

THE FEDERATION OF TEACHERS.

ITO obtain for fhose serving and for
those served, all the rights and bene-
fits to which they are entitled is the
announced aim of the Lincoln teach
ers' federation. The movements of the
organization If it prove an active body

est at home and abroad. The pioneer
order of this sort, the Chicago
teachers federation is q prominent is
sue in the politics of that much vexed
town. Organized first for the purpose
of bringing the big tax dodgers to
book in order that tax money might
be forthcoming TO pay their own
meager salaries, the Chicago teachers
have retained their organization, allied
themselves with the labor unions, and
under the lead of valiant Margaret
Haley have wrested the privilege of
saying a few things for themselves re-

Little is said of the matter abroad,
but congress, which is the city council
Of the town of Washington, is not a
little troubled by race problems Incl
dent to that capacity Washington is
a southern city, and its adult popula-
ton is more than third colored. OF
course in a national city equality be-
fore the law cannot be winked at, and
SO the colored people have never had
to complain of any Aurtailment of their
privileges. Indeed some of the white
the usual case tends to be reversed.
The problem that now arises is not.
however, a clash of white and black.
but an attempt to subdivide the race
question on the part of those of inter-
mediate race. In fine, the mulattoes
are said to be making objections to at
tending the same school with '.black
niggers. The justice of punching all
negroes of all shades together i'm the
Jim Crow class has not heretofore
been discussed, but there is evidently
coming to separate schools for muat-
toes, for quadroons. for octoroons. and
for whites, with special compartments
in street cars for each class? Four:
isn't that the number of castles In m

Socialists are fond of saying that the
inent examples of money making by
grace of special privilege differ from
their critics only in degree; that prac-
tically everybody is fighting for ad-
and by the same methods, but with
less success, hence the complaints.
This explains, the socialists say, why
special privileges can not be done
Every man hesitates to destroy an
others privilege because he hopes
later to gain it himself.
The Clay county farmers refute this
theory. Under the pretense of dis
tributing rare and costly seeds for the
benefit of agriculture, congress has
us government funds to bid for the
friendship of the farmers by presents
of cheap and common garden seeds.
This places low estimate on the price
of the average farmers friendship, but
it seems to have given results, for
congress clings TO the practice with
all the warmth with which the rail-
roads hold on to the right to be gen.
erous with railroad passes. Clay
county farmers resent the free seed
distribution as an insinuation that
they are ready to sell their citizenship
for nibble at the public spoils, and
in their farmers institute request that
the practice be stopped. 1t must be
said in justice to the Nebraska con-
gressmen that one Of them announces
that he will send no seeds unless
specially requested, and that several
have consistently voted against the
free seed appropriation.

Under the patronage of the Japanese
government 100000 worth of cotton
was grown in Korea last year and ex-
ported The area in cotton in India is
this year to be a million acres greater
than last year. with an anticipated
yield Of five million bales, about half
the yield of cotton in the United
States. This last report would tax our
credulity but for the fact that the In
dian yield in 1904 was nearly four mil
lion bales. In 1899 India and China to-
gether produced but 100000 bales Of
cotton. That year the world crop of
cotton was 13,11O,0OO bales, of which
this country produced II, 1,189,00O. Last
year the total was 17,944,000 bales of
which our southern states produced 49,
100000. We still control the field in cot
ton production, but under the persist
ent efforts of other countries, such as
Japan in Korea, our proportion to the
total yield has temporarily at least,
lessened.

Socrates, son of Sophronlscus and
husband of Xantippe, synonym of phil
osophy, prototype of ugliness and the
original Interrogation point, was in
the year 399 B. G. condemned to death
in Athens on the charge firstly, of
denying the gods recognized by the
state and introducing new divinities,
and secondly of corrupting the young"
AS Professor Lees points out in his
mastery defense of Xantippe So
crates priced freedom too greatly not
to be poor Accordingly he was a
stranger to shoes or shirt Moreover
he was in such vogue in Athens as to
threaten to set the fashion Despite
the virtue sounding charge of impiety
and miseducator made against the
greatest personality of his age, there
fore, sinister suspicion creeps upon
the student when he reads that one
Of bare foot Socrates accusers was
Anytus, tanner. And so a news item
of the present week carries us back
these tWentythree hundred years. "a
firm in Athens imported five hundred
pairs of American shoes last year and
sold them readily" says the report.
"The Greek shoemakers became
alarmed, besieged their legislators and
succeeded in forcing the imposition of
DrObihitiVa tariff dut on A American
shoes" They did things more blood
lily at Athens in the days of Socrates
and ST. Paul, it seems, but they get
there just the same even now.

lottery, operating from Central Amer
ica, sells still, it is alleged, 100000
worth a month of lottery tickets in
the United States. We never hear of
it, for the press is not allowed to ad-
vertise nor the mails to carry any
lottery business. The business is done
mainly by express. Which reminds us
that express companies are now sub
ject to the interstate commerce laws

recently approached by an Indian from
near Chippewa Falls, who had five
pairs of wolf ears. This called for 500,
an order for which was promntlv

gone the clerk noticed strong resem-
blance in shape and color among the
five pairs of ears, and close investi-
cation revealed that they were all
made out of a single wolf skin sewed
into ear shapes with wonderful skill
