End of Grain Frnnrts

Though in substance the address OF
James j. Hill has been delivered be-
fore. non OF the formal addresses will
strike the bankers at Chicago more
forclbly than Mr.. Hills prediction that
this country has about reached the
end OF its grain-exporting period and
viii find an increasing difficulty in
feeding its " population.
This idea. in theory. is not new.
but Mr.. Hill is the first great cap.
tain Of industry to give 1t oountenanoe.
Coming from him It suggests with
startling force q picture in which the
broader lines of American commercial
organization are transposed. Grain
will be consumed here, prices will be
higher. manufactured goods will not
be exported. because Europe cannot
afford to pay for them. We shall buy
goods from Europe. 1t Is TO be sup
posed, yet how is the process Of OK.

Charles Francis Barker Of Boston has
held the title Of American champion at
checkers for about thirty years.
Five councilman of wilkesbarre are under

The name of Governor S~hallenberger Of
Nebraska is not on the st. Louis printed
list of state executives who have accepted
invitations to President Taft
on his river trip to New Orleans.
No open minded admirer of heroic en-
deavor can determine the attitude of the
pedestal until he has sampled the scent
cigars named in honor Of the heroes. One
pull may be enough to demolish a tall
stack of invinclble arguments.
Colonel Peter ]. McAvoy. who died a few
days ago in Brooklyn, deserves a word of
remembrance. He headed the marines that

several European countries yields the OBJ

grouped with Germany as the most pro-

Already on the Defensive.

Notwithstanding the brave front put
so-called nonpartisan judiciary law,
and the forced glorihcation Of the two
dissenting opinions, the democrats are
already on the defensive. The dis
senting opinion of the democratic
Judge, seeking reelection as a pre-
tended nonpartisan, toes not strike a
truly responsive chord either with the
partisan democrats or with true non
partisans. A characteristic sample Of
the comment is this from the Schuyler
Quill, which shows signs of supporting
the other two democratic nominees:
Judge Dean filed a dissenting opinion in
the nonpartisan act when the supreme
court declared 1t not good. 1t strikes us
that Dean did that to sort Of fix UP his
standing with the democrats Of the state,
which is not the best, even IL he was per-
mitted to get the nomination without any
contest. But Dean cannot' poll the demo-
cratic vote Of his party and should not for
more than one good reason, the best Of
which is that he is not supreme court tim
Der.
The answer, so far as there is any
answer. is to be found in the K~earney
Democrat, which is staunchly nonpar-
tisan democratic, and which comes to
the defense in this strictly partisan
fashion:
Now, we find many Of these same edit
tors and their newspapers teemlng with
advice to the voters to support anybody
and everybody except Judge Dean. This
attitude toward the only member OF the
court who defended the law these men de-
manded the legislature to enact displays
the rankest and most disgusting brand of
hypocrisy and insincerity to be found On
the present political market. One man
charges that Judge Dean did 1t for polIt-
ical effect. Then, is that why you favored
the same thing Dean defends. with his ju-
dicIal opinion7 Why not Dean as honest as
your
The real difficulty of the democrats
is to preach nonpartisanship and still
persuade the people to vote for all
three of the democratic nominees, be-
cause the disposition is already mani
fest, if any one of them is to be sacri-
need, TO sacrifice the only n who has
fronted for the fake nonpartisanship
by filing his dissenting opinion in the
case. With this explanation. the
sagely nonpartisan conclusion Of the
Kearney Democrat is quite AS interest
ing as It Is amusing:
Say, you f~ellows-you champions of a
nonpartiaan Judiciary enactnAnt, vo, fol
lows who are doing more 10 dlscredit a
nonpartIsan judiciary than every other
agency, get out your firemen and put out
the fire ara stop the smoke. Give Judge
Dean your loyal support, or stop yawplng
about a nonpartisan supreme court.
In other words, according TO unim-
~peachable democratic authority, the
only way to prove up as a -nonpartisan
is to swallow the whole democratic
dose.

change to be a~nalyzed7 Mr.. Hill's
prophecy seems to go counter to poll
tical economy. Perhaps the compile
ton of the picture IL that the masses
Of Europe will bodily remove to- the
United States and Canada and leave
the old countries to thin out their
population as an American farmer
thins corn, until a totally new balance
is struck.
Practically only a few months lie
between a universal cessation Of pro-
duction and the destruction Of the
human race by starvation. II is not
fully clear what Mr.. Hill means at this
point. The phrase is true, beyond
doubt, but It Is always true. 1t is as
II he should say that II a man should
not eat he would starve. II people
will not work they will die. They do
work, do eat and do live. But, stick
ing to the point Of an impending
mighty transformation Of agriculture
and manufacture, IL Mr.. Hill sees
clearly through the whole proposition,
there is going to be, first, a series OF
unusual alterations In prices and,
second, a series of remarkable reloca-
lions in population. Nothing would
be more interesting than Mr.. Hills
views on the effects of these changes
on the industry and sociology Of the
world.

THE FRIEND.

Robert Louis Stevenson. :
Though he that ever kind and true
Kept stoutly step by step with you
Your whole, long gusty lifetime through,
Be gone a while before
BE now a moment gone before,
Yet double not, anon the season shall re-
store
Your friend to you.
He has but turned a corner-stil
He pushes on with right good will
hill,
That selfsame arduous way
That selfsame upland hopeful way
That you and he through many a doubt
full day
Attempted still.
He is not dead, this ~frfend-not dead,
But in the path, we mortals tread
Got some few trifling steps ahead
And nearer to the end
So that you, too, once past this bend,
Shall meet again, as face to face, this
friend
You fancy dead.
Push gayly on, strong heartl The while
You travel forward mile by mile,
He loiters with a backward smile,
Till you can overtake,
And strains his eyes to search his wake,
Or. whistling, as he sees you through the
brake,
Waits on q stile.
