KING CORN.
respectively

The national corn exposition recently held
in Omaha was IL revelation to thousands of
people who entertained the idea that ''corn is
merely corn,'' says The Commoner. y few
Years ago the uses Of corn were confined to
feeding stock. making corn bread and mlsh.
Now this cereal is taking its proper place
among the foodstutfs of the world, and the
many by-products are being utilized to the
fullest extent. AS a result the price of corn
is enhanced and the price of corn land grows
daily. The corn raising area is restricted,
and the future enlargement of the corn crop
is dependent upon intensified farming rather
than upon the utilization of added acreage.
The corn producer no longer selects his seed
haphazard, puts it into the ground after h;,sty
preparation and depends upon chance. Ag-
riculture is becoming ;ln exact science, and
state agricultural schools are doing Il splen-
did missionary work in preparing the way
for scientific soil culture. The Omaha corn
exposition will give an added incentive to
further investigation and experiment, and
the results will be beneficial in many ways.
1t is not hazardous to predict that the days
of ten-cent corn are forever gone from the
west

ROUGH AND TUMBLE.

Under the above caption find an edito-
rial in Grit, a non-political paper, for which
we bespeak IL careful retding:
1.-THE contest in Pennsylvania for the SEN
;,torial seat just made vacant by Mr. Knox's
acceptance of a place in Mr.. Taft cabinet,
reminds one very much of u rough and
tumble scramble for coins frequently wit
messed on the streets of large cities when
men of means would have a little fun with
the kids. The ink is hardly dry on the pages
of newspapers containing the announcement
of Mr.. Knox's selection when every old
money bag, machine politician and would be
statesman in the state joins in rough and
tumble scramble for the vacated seat
1.-THE people have nothing to say about the
matter, consequently are not even asked
whom they would like to have elected to the
senate The great political newspapers have
no choice, they apparently being content to
wait and cast their lot with the first man who
appears to get strangle hold on the coveted
prize. The legislators Of the state are not
asked to decide but are held up at the point
of a gun and commanded to pledge them
selves to this man or that. In no way, shape
or manner is there any indication of the least
consideration of any body or anything, much
less an attempt to exemplify free govern
ment. The power of money, the strength of

REPUBLICAN contestants for seats of
democrats elected to the house of rep
reSentatives have failed to obtain the
support of fair minded members of their
own party, says the Republics Jeffer-
son City letter of the 9th. In several
counties where contests have been filed
by republicans their own party members
have protested as strongly against the
action as did the democrats. The dec
laration of Governor-elect Hadley that
he would refuse to countenance any ef-
fort on the part of republicans to unseat
duly elected democratic members of the
legislature merely for the purpose of
increasing the republican representation
in the house has served to open the
eyes of fair-minded- republicans to the
underlying motives of those urging the
contests.

THE ST. Louis Central Trades and
Labor union, at its last meeting, pro-
tested in strong language the decision
OF Judge Wright in the cases OF Com

lutions say that "Judge Wright, in rem
dering the decision OF the court, did SO
in language that plainly indicated strong
prejudice agains, the defendants in par
ticular and organized labor in general,
and, i'll our estimation, is entirely I'M
worthy of Il judicial tribunal" And

against what we consider an unjust de-

CARNEGIE A FREE TRADER.

Whether Andrew Carnegie really desires
to have the duty on steel and steel products
reduced or whether he is trying to create
trouble for other manufacturers is not as vet
evident, but the fact is patent that the wild
est exponent of free trade cannot hope to
cope with the willy Scotchman in his advocacy
of that doctrine, says the st. Joseph O5serv-
er. For two days, last week, Mr.. Carnegie
was Il witness before the ways and means
committee of congress which is taking testi-
mony relative to tariff revision and his tes-
timony could at all times be summed up in
the statement that the duty on steel should
be removed and that no further protection
was needed for that industry.
Mr.. Carnegie testified that the time is now
past when Europe any other country can
compete with the United States in steel pro-
duction and therefore no further protection
to American Industries of that class is ne
cessary. He also said that Eve are no longer
infants, are now men and can beat the
world on STEEL Of course this is disputed
by other steel manufacturers who have so
far not been absorbed by the United States
Steel corporation, who claim that protection
is still needed and tariff duties should remain
as they exist, but the fact ALWAYS re-
mains that American steel completes in the
markets of the world and is manufactured at
a cost below that of foreign countries The
immense profits of the steel corporation last
year, being over $50, 100000, are an earnest
that Mr.. Carnegie is right.
But Mr.. Carnegie is wonderfully rich He
has so much money that he cannot even spend
the interest, and it may be that he, like other
men who have achieved great power, feel
that now that they are safe the other fellow
can look out for himself. When Mr.. Carne-
gle can make a wedding present of 81, 600, 900,
as he did last week, and never know that he
gave it, it is small wonder that he could care
for others less fortunate, and admit that
American industries need no protection. they
are no longer infants; but full grown, lustv
and powerful men.
