 No matter what the outcome of the Cummins and Anti Cumnifi's squabbie over the Senatorship the Democrats are sure to be the gathers.
 Much bitterness is expressed among the progressives, aud there Is open talk of boiting the state and legislative tickets at the polls, if the standpatters refuse to give their majority recogni- ton. In explanation of their votes the standpatters in both houses based their opposition to Cummins on the proceeding with an election until the people had an opportunity to express their choice Of candidate.

Foon FOR THE FuTuRE.

Among the several causes of appre- hension as to the future of mank ind felt by students of social and indus trial conditions may be mentioned the questions of food supply for human be- ings as well as for the preservation of animal life. There are two causes of apprehension as they look at the mat ter. The first comes from the natural increase of population in all parts of the world. and especially in civilized countries. This increase is reasonably regular and constant. and the students claim to be able to figure out with something like accuracy that even If food production is not diminished. It cannot be a very great while before the earth will not produce rood enough to keep up animal life.
 But in addition to this increase fin the demand for food, 1t Is argued that there must ts decrease in the sup ply. The soiI. they claim. cannot al
 ways retain it's fertility. and that, as natural consequence. must cause a diminution of crops. We might point out, in connection with this pre- diction. that there Is a vast amount of land at has not been brought uu- der cultivation, and that science ana experimentation are doing a great deal to maintain or increase productveness

 The Eagle we'll says that 1t is "a large field and an interesting one" and one of its sources of interest lies in the fact that the field is practically un- cultivated and apparently inexhaust- ible, for the crops can be reaped with out sowing or cultivation and without lessening the supply. Just to what ex. tent this food can be made to supply future demands may be only decided in the future. but there doesn't really seem to be any danger of starvation for a long time to come. at all events.
