Dear, Dear! what troubles MT. Sheldon has incurred by taking the job of treasurer for the campaign committee! Some poor ignorant corporations tried to give money to him, and he was obliged to return their checks because it is unlawful for corporations to contribute to campaign funds. Of course the men controlling corporations would not wickedly evade the law by giving their personal checks. Fudge! Also piffle. Likewise bumfoozle!

The business interests, by systematic and aggressive asser- ton of their importance, vir- tually determine government policies and control legislation, but their actual importance is far inferior to that of the agri- cultural interests. The increase in farm valuations since 1900 is equal to half the hydrated capitalization of all the rail roads in the United States, and the total value of farm property exceeds that of all other forms of property combined. But the farmers are not organized and their power never can be con- sOlidated, and therefore their influence is very slight.

Judge Alton B. Parker, who was somewhat prominently in the the public view four years ago, has had his New York mind broadened and opened by a visit to the Pacific Coast. He says he believes the time is not far distant when California will be New York's rival for the title of Empire State. This will be an awful shock to the hermit pop ulation of Manhattan Islands sky-scraper caves.

The South has no monopoly of the race problem. When northern white men murder black men because they are black, in the very shadow of Abraham Lincoln's monument, the North has enough to do to put her own house in order and may cease pointing the finger of scorn at Texas and the Caro- linas. The real. problem is the ferocious white savage, not the negro; the law can deal with the occasional black brute.
