The Polar Climax.

In the span of a few days the public
of America, and that of the world, has
been electrified with the news of a
marvellous exploit, says the National
Monthly. The North Pole has been
discovered. The goal of the ages is
attained. On it are planted the stars
and stripes. 1t is an American achieve
ment. 1t places the names of Cook and
Peary side by side on pedestal of
honor. 1t is a contamination, which,
at first blush, swallows up all other
feelings in thrill of patriotic pride.
Would this editorial could end right
here. 1t is pity that the splendor of
magnificent feat should be overcast
by the shadow of controversy, that the
wine of congratulation should be tine
tured by the burning infusion of per-
sonal bitterness. But such is the fact.
Peary disputes Cooks claim to Arctic
honors. 1t will be impossible to pass
a decisive verdict on the case until
both explorers are heard in full. and
all the circumstances placed before
the scientific world and the general
public.
But the liberal, the generous senti-
ment, the instructive feeling of the
mass of the people, is to accord recog-
milton to the achievements of both
men, to take justifiable pride in them
both, and to impartially distribute the
honors and the rewards due to indomi-
table perseverance, to daring hardly
equaled and not surpassed by that of
the field of battle, and to resource
fitness. truly and distinctively Ameri-
can.

felony. has sued the tobacco raisers of
Kentucky for $135. 900, damages, alleg-
ing that the Burley Society is a con-
spiracy in restraint of trade, and that
the trust was forced to buy tobacco at
IL cents pound when it was worth
only eight cents. The Sherman anti
trust law that was alleged to have
been framed to prevent the organiza-
ton of capitalist trusts, is the club be-
ing used-and doubtless the federal
judges will grant the judgment. Why
not arrest the tobacco trust for selling
it's tobacco at so cents when it is
worth only eight according to its own
petition. But the law does not work
that way. 1t works only against the
useful member of society. Why was
the trust forced to buy the tobacco?
Who forced it? Under what statute
was it compelled 10 pay more than it
was worth? 1t could have let the TO-
bacco alone ard gone out of business.
When the work people demanded more
bread for their toll and quit work
rather than starve working, the law
never helps tham-except to help them
off the earth via the bullet route as in
Homestead and McKee's Rocks. Won
der if the tobacco raisers will ever get
wise enough to elect men to run the
State of Kentucky who will have the
State erect the tobacco factories and
manufacture their products into mar
Ket shape? If they do not, then they
deserve to have the continual squab-
bles with the trust-and they will have
them, all right. The interests of the
trust and the interests of the tobacco
raisers are diametrically opposed and
never can be harmonized. 1t means a
warfare until one or the other is de-
Stroyed. Which should prevail the in
terests of the hundreds of thousands
of tobacco farmers or the interests of
the small group of corporation owners
who have conspired to rob the producer
on one hand and the consuming public
on the other? It is up to the men who
have the votes. Until they are intelli-
gent enough to use them they are
going 20 be beaten. Ignorance never
did control intelligence-and never
will.

Prosperity of the Farmer.

This year we shall raise three bill
lion bushels of corn. 1t is hard to
realize what that means, says writer
in Success Magazine. 1t is harvest
greater even than the bumper crop of
1906. These three billion bushels will
be worth to the farmer over a billion
and a half of dollars, or over three
times as much as the corn was worth
in 1896. Last year the value of all
farm products in the United States
were worth less than tour billions, to-
day they are worth twenty-eight bill
lions. This is more than the entire
wealth of America in 1850. In 1850
the farms of the United States were
worth less than four billions, today
they are worth twenty eight billions.
Every day the farms of the country
are worth S3,4OO.OOO more than they
were worth the day before.
1t is good thing for the people at
large that the farmers are getting
their share of the general increase in
wealth. The eight billion dollars that
they get each year amounts to only
seven hundred dollars apiece when it
is distributed over all the farmers and
farm laborers in the country. But the
per capita amount is growing and is
bound 10 grow still more.
During the next twenty years we are
going to see a great revolution in
farming. Agriculture is to be more
intelligent and more intense, new
plants are to be introduced. better
use is to be made of the land, and an
acre will produce twice as much as it
now produces. The benefit of this new
production should not DE monLpolized
by railroads. elevator companies and
harvester trusts. 1t should go to the
farmers and to the people. and it
should show itself in better food, cloth
ing and housing and in more wide
spread education for the great mass of
us.

The Corset Trust.

Now the corset trust has taken a
steel ribbed grip upon the neck of the
down troddensand garroted it with lin
en- strings. But the squeezed and gasp
ing common people have found a
champion. A Chicago dispatch to the
Cincinnati Enquirer says: The Re-
tailers' Commercial Union has come to
its rescue with lance in rest and deter
mined to enforce the rule of trade that
Free strings go with the corset At
the Grand Pacific hotel today a shot
was fired that will be heard around
the world. 1t was this: Resolved,
that a corset lace is part of the orig
inal construction and as necessary to
the corset as laces in a shoe or buttons
on a mans trousers and coat, and
should not be considered by product
for which extra charge could not be
made; and that we vigorously condemn
all manufacturers in the corset trust
for refusing to include pair of laces
in the sale of each corset Liberty
shrieked for several hours before the
declaration of war was compiled, but
all the speeches were on the enc side.
1t was a meeting of the executive
committee of the union which has fol
its purpose collective buying by retail
ers in the Middle West. The pull back
on corset strings was denounced by
President w. y. Genner, of Farming
ton, Iowa, as unfair, unjust and illegal
and an injury to the middle classes
and laboring people who stand the bur.
den of the extra cost. a long pull
and strong pull and a pull all to-
gether on this corset string thing, and
well break the trusts backbone. said
another speaker.
