THE PRICE OF WHEAT.
Paffen,n Declarations that shOrtag
 Existed New Being Verified.

Paften'H Declarations that shortage
 Existed New Being Verified.
 New York Sun. -.
 The fact that millers are buying the wheat now being harvested in Texas at $1.35 e bushel appears to corrobo- rate conclusively MT. Patten's often re- peated declarations that the sensation al rise in the price of May wheat was not the result ef a corner engineered by him, but of actual shortage in the supply. It was on this question that Secretary Wilson contradicted MT. Pat ten, the Secretary asserting that the Chicago grain man was misled or at- tempting to nisleed the public. s
 MT. Patten, whose DFoftsf in the Hast month have been won at a sufficiently high cost in public denunciation and hatred, has maintained steadily that he did no more than take advantage of natural conditions. and has denied that he manipulated" the market. Today there seems no doubt that he had in- formation far more reliable than that of the Department of Agriculture, un- less it is the fact that the Department was used in an effort to break prices in behalf of the bear operators. It Is de- cidedly to be hoped that Is not so.
 There is a certain impressiveness about "official" estimates, prognostica- tions. and reports that does not attach to private advices on the crops. Yet frequently the private information proves more accurate than the govern ment figures. It appears now that MT. Patten knew what he was talking about. and that Secretary Wilson was entirely wrong.

Significant Figures.

Florence Times.
 In an extended review of the rail- road situation In Alabama, The Mont gomery Advertiser states 1t as a fact, proven by the records. that the South ern and the Seaboard Air Line Rail- roads. as far as located in Alabama, nave been run at loss since they were forced to adopt the rates imposed by the late laws of the State. As to the southern, the statement is made that the total net revenue In Alabama for the year 1907 was only S77,920, while the road, over and above this had to pay tax In the State of $296,9e6 In consequence of the results 1t will be remem bered that at one time not long ago. 1t was thought the Southern could not weather the storm and would have
 AS to the Seaboard, which went into the hands of a receiver, 1t shows an even greater loss, the records show ing that for every $100 worth of traf- nc done in the State 1t lost $734 In other words, for every mile of the Sea board operated in the State of Ala bama for the fiscal year ending June 80. 1908, the road lost s247.
 The Advertiser article in its conclud- ing paragraphs continues: "The folly Of the unjust and unbusiness-like anti corporation legislation in Alabama within the past two years is now ap- parent in the receivership of some lines, the desperate condition of oth- CTS. the enforced retrenchment which has thrown hundreds out of employ ment and the resultant stagnation of industries and general commerce."

A JUST SENTENCE.

No doubt there will be differences of opinion regarding the case of the chauffeur. Darragh. the New York au- tomobile driver. He ran his machine over a child several months ago. and instead of stopping to see if he could render assistance to the injured boy he did as most of them do under such circumstances and ran away. eventual iy escaping to another State. The boy died of his injuries and Darragh was arrested and brought back to New York, where he was tried and con- yicted, and sentenced to Imprisonment for a term of not less than seven years. which can be extended to twen- ty.
 These are the brief facts of the case. and as we said there will be differences those already who say 1t was an "ac- cident" and therefore the chauffeur should not be held responsible for the death of the boy. Others win argue
 
 the offense. and various other opinions will be held and expressed. but we think those who take a fair-minded and unbiased view of the case will agree that Darragh gets off very light. He was charged with the crime of murder in the first degree. and might have been sent to the electric chair, but a lighter sentence was given him, and he may consider himself fortunate In escaping with his life.
 The plea that Darragh's crime was merely an accident. which he could not avoid. would not hold in face of the testimony in the case. It was shown that he was driving at reckless speed through one of the crowded streets of the city. and that when he ran over the boy he kept on his way at the same fast speed. not stopping or slowing down when he realized what he had done. If there was any accident in the affair it was one for which the driver was responsible. and which he could easily have avoided by using ordinary care. It was one of those accidents for which the perpetrator deserved punish ment
 Such occurrences as this are not un- common in the North and East, es- peciaiiy in the large cities, and they are responsible for the prejudice and hard feeling towards automobiles There ought not to be any objections to the use of these machines. When run with proper regard for the rights and the safety of others there should be no prejudice against them, and would notsbe. It is the reckless speed- CTS of the Darragh type who have aroused feeling against autos. and few jail sentences would do much to teach them caution and proper regard for the safety of others. There are instances where Imprisonment for those higher up than the chauffeur would have a good effect and prove a valuable and needed lesson to some who apparently regard all as intruders who get in the way of their machines. Automobiles are all right, and they have come to stay. but an occasion al jail sentence for those who care nothing for human life. will be well. and will do much to remove the pre1u- dice now felt in many places against the machine.

PROPHETS OF EVIL.

Prophets who are predicting the end of all sublunary things shouldn't be so scattering in their dates. Here Is Texas seer who says the end of the world is sure to come in July. Then comes an Eastern seer who probably knows fully as much about 1t as the Texan does. and fixes the windup Tor September IS. Why can't they get to- Rether and agree on q day that will suit both? If they can do no better they might split the difference and agree on a sort of average date. but perhaps each objects to letting the oth- CT have any of the credit. though what benefit the credit will be after every thing is destroyed we can't see. Still. if the end doesn't come in July the other fellow will have the laugh on the Texan.
 Predicting the end of the world has long been a favorite occupation among those who can find no better use for their time In all ages and all coun- tries there have been prophets of evil to alarm timid people and worry oth- CTS with their announcements that the end Is bound to come at certain giv- en time. Some do not hesitate to tell the exact month. day and year when earthly things will be wound up, while others are not so specific, and allow themselves room for lodging.
 That such predictions do harm has more than once been amply demon strated. People of intelligence and discernment may look on them as the idle workings of disordered brains or overheated imaginations but that will not end the matter. More than once within the memory of persons now liv- ing the country has been stirred up as a result of these prophecies. La bor has been stopped, business neglect ed and all the ordinary affairs of life stopped in families and communities while timid and credulous ones prepar- ed for the momentous event that they felt sure was near at hand. In some cases people have lost their minds in the excitement. and in various ways much harm has resulted from such pre- dictions. Hard sense and sound 1udg- ment may laugh at these so-called prophets. but they really do harm for all that.

How a Cat AIights.

T. r. WSekly.
 An ingenious model has been con- structed to show why a cat, In falling, always alight- on its feet. The imita- ton cat consists of a cardboard cyllnd- CT, with four rods stuck in 1t for legs, and a tall devised on similar prin- ciples: and the object is to show that a cats faculty of falling on is feet de- bends on the rotation of its tail.
 Some interesting information on this problem is given by the superintend- ent of a geological garden. who has made several experiments. The faculty of always falling on the feet Is one which Is especially developed, he claims. by climbing and leaping ami. mals, in which category are included all the cat tribe. monkeys, squirrels. rats, and most lemurs. The instinct ia Is performed without any conscious ef- fort on the part of the animal
 The opinion Is that the tail plays an important part in the turning process "All tree-inhabiting monkeys have long tails" said this authority. and there is not the slightest doupt that the tail is of the greatest possible adYant' turn. It also acts as good balancer. |. You may see squirrel walk along a tightly stretched wire or string swing ing ita tail from side to side, just as a tight-rope walker balances his pole.
 "Some years ago I had some rats whose tails had been cut off. and they were not such good climbers as with monkeys, those which have not long tails are not so good at climbing, and cannot leap to the same extent, It is noticeable that monkeys which have given up climbing trees have lost their tails"

THAT sEACOAsT DEFENSE.

The Advertiser had some comments a few days ago on the War Depart ment's proposition to fit up fleet of airships to guard our coasts. but the project is rather more extensive than we were aware of at the time. The plans of the Department. so far as they have been disclosed. says a con- temporary. include a chain of depots which will insure a perfect signal ser- vice from Maine to Florida. From these depots airships can proceed to sea at any time when their services may be necessary. The establishment of the depots and the building of the airships will be an expensive under- taking. Congress. which has never re- garded the signal service with favor. will balk at the cost. But considerable as the expense may be 1t will probably be less than the price of a single scout cruiser such as the Birmingham, the Chester or the Salem. Nothing is surer than that the airship will have a rev. olutionary effect upon the scouting methods of warfare on sea and land, and the United States will save money If the development of the ship for such uses be judiciously anticipated"
 We suppose there are those who look on all this as chimerical, 1t not nonsen- sical but there's no telling what the future may bring forth. It is true that at present and up to date, there have been no flying machines constructed that can risk a trans oceanic voyage. Such things are freely predicted. it is true, but so far as heard from no air ship, even of the experimental vari- ety. has been built that would venture such a trip. and if none of this char acter has yet been constructed certain ly there has been none of a warlike character that would be likely to en- danger our seacoasts and shipping. In other words. no bomb carrying air ma chine has yet been constructed in any foreign country that might be expect ed to sail over and play havoc with SNi SWAS anu diOhs LIS Al4dulAC or Gulf coasts.
 But our government-the War De- partment at least-is apparently acting on the principle that it is wise to be prepared for any emergency Like the birds which are always ready to de- fend their own nests. we are to have a flock of artificial birds, with prop erly constructed nests, which will roost along our coasts and be prepared at all times to fend of any enemy that might dare threaten to drop loaded eggs on any part of our domain, or our unprotected navy. It may be wise precaution for anything we know to the contrary. but whether Congress will see 1t that way, and appropriate the money, is another thing. It would probably be cheaper than building great fortresses and powerful battle ships
 It should be borne in mind that what we have had to say about protecting ourselves against hostile airships was only speculative, and perhaps a fanei ful anticipation of what some people

"The Final say-SO."

NCW IOEk sun.
 traordinary confession and self-revela- tion is published for the first time, we believe. in Pearson's Magazine for Roosevelt to Melville Davisson Post. Mir. Post had published a story turn ing on the legal question whether Con- tederate notes were or were not coun- terfett money. MT. Roosevelt writes on January IT, 1908:
 You may be amused to know my ex- perience in connection with the decis- ion of the United States Supreme Court that Confederate notes were not coun- terfeit; ... criminals who had passed these notes The lower court held that the notes were counterfeit and both men were imprisoned. One of the men took an

 The argument reminded me a little of the famous discussion between the Wonderland.' Knox's position was that as the act committed by the man had been declared by the court not 10 be criminal, could not keep him in prison. My position was that as he was undoubtedly scoundrel, and morally a criminal. certainly could not let him out of prison; and that as for saying that I could not keep him in, why. he was in, and that was all there was about it.
 T think Knox had the best of the argument as regards the law. but l had the final say-so as to the facts, and the man stayed in for nearly a year long, CT. I was sorry I could not punish both scoundrelgg, but at least was able to punish one"
 The man who signed this narrative was a President of the. United States, sworn to execute faithfully the duties of his office. The confession supple ments what The Sun has already had to say about MT Roosevelt's congeni tai incapacities and habitual contempt ts In his view of the law and his attitude toward the courts.
 How credita ble to Knox Is the incl dent as related by the President who overruled Knox! How diSgraceful to the President who boasts of having stood for lynch law-rude and primi- tive justice, he fiippantly calls lt-as against the law which he had sworn to execute and obey!
