Plenty of Fruit

Henry Cooke aud Charlie Reed
made tour of inspection of the
slope fruit farms on Tuesday. Mr..
Reed is recently from Palisade and
has had doubts about the fruit crop
10 this section. He came home
thoroughly convinced that there
will be lots of fruit this year. He
brought back with him branches of
sweet cherry trees-tlie Queen Ann
variety that were simply loaded
with fruit as large as peas, and
peaches as large as navy beans.
He says the trees have all they can
properly mature.

Green Fruit Tells Story

The statement that the fruit
around Emmett has been seriously
damaged by frost is euergetically
denied. H. C. Hotties, returned
from that place Yesterday says the
Statesman. bringing with him ocu-
lar evidence of the incorrectness of
the r ported injury in the shape of
little twig, not over two feet
long. to whicn clung more than 80
apricots larger than armv beans.
The green fruit was in perfect con-
dit;on. There is always loss of
blossoms which is fortunate for the
grower. otherwise he would be
compelled to knock quantities of
fruit from the trees to prevent them
from breaking down under the
weight. Mr.. Hotties says the peach
trees are loaded and that the pruues
are looking fine. While apples are
not so extensively grown there as
other varieties. that class of fruit is
also III good shape, he declares.
The indications are for bumper
,rop the coming season II and
around Emmett, according to the
observations of the visitor.

raising of mules for draft and farm
work is profitable industry. They
are harder, longer lived cheaper to

Quick Delivery,

The very same issue of the Lincoln
Star which contains the ive-page ad-
vertisement of the corporation tax de-
Iinquents, which the democratic gov
ernor assigned to It as It's share of the
publication pie, comes out for all three
Of the democratic nominees for SUI
preme Judge.
This is mighty quick delivery. In
deed, IL circumstantial evidence were
conclusive the natural inference would
be that the two were cause and effect,
although 1t might be difficult to say
which we're cause and which effect.
1t follows, of course, that the decla-
ration Of the Lincoln Star, pretended
republican and recipient Of democratic
favor, should be Immediately acclaimed
by the democratic daily that absorbed
the other half of the pie as a great
Daniel come to Judgment.
Whereas only a short time ago it
could not find adJectives strong enough
to revile the corporation-ridden Star,
the World-Herald now suddenly dis
covers that the Stars h~igh-minded
patriotism transcends its party loyalty,
and that this formerly discredited
source of advice and inspiration has
become an oracle entitled to the i'm
plicit obedience Of all progressive"
republicans.
This same democratic World-Herald
some years ago made a deal with the
republican state committee for the sale
Of two columns of space on it's edi-
torial page daily for ten days to OPP
pose the candidates of it's own party,
and it lived up to the agreement, al
though 1t took a court order to secure
specific performance of the written
contract. No wonder the World
Herald admires and praises the Lin
coin Star for promptly delivering the
goods without litigation.

I~nfantile Paralysis.

In many OF the states a definite in
vestigation Of that new terror of the
household, infantile paralysis, Is in
progress, and the medical profession
hopes soon to be able to combat a dis
ease which, though not a new disor
der. has only within the last two years
become a general menace to the babies
of the land. AS far east as Massachu-
sets the State Board Of Health is
making a special study Of the matter,
prompted thereto by the reports of
cases In eighty towns OF the common
wealth. The Kansas board will use
all of it's emergency fund II necessary
and the governor has offered also ne-
half of his contingent fund to discover
effective treatment for the visitation.
Similar determination to rout this in
sidious foe is everywhere apparent,
and out Of the concerted action the
profession confidently expects to
evolve solution.
One OF the most promising reports

convention of physicians has received
word that a Norwegian investigator
had discovered the poliomyelitis germ.
Location Of the cause Of the disease is
the first step toward evolving a cure,
and If the report from Norway proves
correct 1t will be one Of the best things
that every came out of the north.
When facing a situation blindly,
household and practitioners alike can
not but feel the hopelessness of it..
Having a basis for action, however,
mans ingenuity is bound to win. The
devotion Of the world of medicine to
the fight against this enemy of the
babies is of a part with all the history
Of this branch of science, and the pub
lie in rejoicing over the expected vic
tory will not omit honors to the dis
coverers of cause and cure.

japan and the Pacific.

While the visit of the Japanese
awa is o~stensibly to cultivate COM
merce between Japan and the United
States. that is an open warning which
the baron is reported to have uttered
In New York, hat with the develop
ment of Manchuria the United States
could look for lively competition with
Japan in the wheat and flour trade.
Manchuria is unquestionably n Of
the most promising granaries in the
world, and 1t is evident from the
baron's admissions that Japan had this
in mind when securing such a foothold
in that country. Undoubtedly, too,
the State department has 1t also in
mind in reserving the right to insist
that the equal privileges of nations
be maintained in all China under the
open door principle. S~hibusawa's
oriental remark hat his country ac-
cepts the open door policy, but must
insist on it's special rights and priyi-
leges as a legacy from the Russian
war, is. an indication of the sort of
diplomacy with which Mr.. Knox will
have to deal when disposing of the
treaties now under consideration.
The baron is almost as o~utspoken
as was Mr.. Crane. but not being an
Official representative of his country
he is o trammeled by considerations
of diplomacy when he discusses the
possibilities of trade rivalry on the
Pacific. las keen commercial nations
we may expect such competition" he
says, but in the end 1t will strengthen
the mutually of interests"
From one of Japan's experiences he
thinks the United States may learn a
lesson, and that is in the matter of
ship subsidies. His comment that
while there is criticism among his peo-
pie because of the detail OF the sub
sidy system there is none against it's
results is supplemented by his own
opinion that ship subsidies are the one
factor in the commercial development
lof Japan.
People inland in the United States,
however, will not accept the baron's
philosophy without a question. Ocean
commerce was vital TO Japan; her
limited area and her isolation as an
island empire compelled her to go to
extreme measures to strengthen her
position in the worlds AFFAIRS and

TAFT DRAWS A DISTINCTION.
The Line Between the Carrier and
the Goods Carried.
Minneapolis Journal,

Minneapolis Journal.
President Taft draws a distinction which
never occurred to his predecessor. and
which may prove the searchlight to rive
the obscurity that invests the interlocked
questions Of railways n Interstate COM
merce.
III Sherman antitrust law, which all
agree needs amendment. extends its pro-
hibition over railways and industries alike
President Taft would exempt not only labor
unions, but also railways from the applica-
ton OF the Sherman act. He would con-
fide the regulation of railways to an ad-
ministrative and a judiciary body, while
the regulation of Interstate industries
would be oonfided to a different bodyyS
A common carrier Is one thing. An ip,
dustry that ships over the common carrie,
Is another. Because an industry that is a
monopoly or tina exhibits a tendency TO
become a monopoly, requires TO be re-
strained, supplies no reason for prohibiting
combination among railways. In other
words hat which invites restraint or regu-
lation In railways is not the same as that
which invites restraint or regulation In in
duStrial corporations. When the distinction
is stated, it seems simple.
Why should common carriers not con-
solldate? The evils we suffer from rail-
way do not proceed from their consolida-
lions. Indeed. such evils can be more
easily remedied by government when com
mitted by the simplified consolidation,
than when dispersed among the multiple
city Of ownerships and managerships.
Peculiar railway evils, such as rebates.
have flouTished because OF competition,
not because Of consolidation. The complex
problem OF rates, which the Interstate
Commerce Commission endeavors to solve,
is stun more complicated by multiform
ownerships and corporate managershlps.
Mr.. Roosevelt went as far as urging the
repeal OF the prohibition against railway
pooling, or at least, the d~evising OF a sub
stitute for pooling.
The problem OF the railways Is not the
problem OF the industries. Because COM
petition should be upheld as regards IN
dustries Is no argument against consolida-
ton among common carriers Railways
rates can be the more easily regulated and
supervision over railways the more easily
established, as railway ownership and man
ageship approach unification.
The separation OF the railway question
from the industrial question is a long step
toward right solutions Of them both.

The Execution Of Ferrer.

Alfonso's summary execution OF
Prof. Ferrer in the face of protests
from various European centers, which
included warnings Of his own personal
doom, shows again the ready fearless
ness Of the Spanish monarch in
handling a desperate situation. His
display Of courage in pursuing his pol
icy, no matter how determined and
dangerous the opposition, was prob
ably intended t avert the threatened
crisis, though late reports indicate
that the furore is spreading. The eff
fort of France to make Of the affair
another Dreyfus case, the rioto1s ap-
peals from the masses in Rome, the
h~eartrending loyalty OF the con-
demned mans daughter, alike found
the king unhinching in Offering up the
liberal schoolmaster as an example to
the barcelona rioters.
InasnUoh as the sentiment aroused
abroad was that OF the liberal element,
the first nstural conclusion would be
that America would share In the hos
tility to the idea Of executing Ferrer,
for he was FIRST of all the progressive
schoolmaster, and it wal Emerson who
proclaimed that every child shall
have It's school" But Ferrer was not
content to raise the schools of Spain
to a modern standard. Had he been
convicted simply of liberal education
for the youth of the land, 1t is unlikely
that his life would have been for
feited; with all his fearlessness, Al
fonso would hardly have dared do that
/ Injustice. But Ferrer went further.
The opposition which his schools en-
countered from church and state cult
waited all the inherent revolutionary
depths of his nature, and the man who
lad begun public life as the private
secretary. Of Gorilla, the Spanish re-
publican leader, developed into an
open and violent aEltator for "eforms
which struck at the throne. 1t was
because Of this antagonism that he
was tried for completely in the at
tempted assassination of the, king. On
that occasion the intervention of the
enlightened sentiment of Europe pre-
vented his summary imprisonment
and his acquittal followed. The trial
that led to his execution for his share
in inspiring the Barcelona riots was
an open courtmartial, and in the face
OF the evidence adduced there vas no
escaping the sentence. He fell a mar
tyr to mixed free thought ideas of lib
erty such as were not entirely con-
eistent with American ideas Of indie
p~endence, yet liberal Americans will
consider him a martyr for all that, as
do the free thinkers of Europe.
Now every center of old world un-
rest is predicting dire things for the
Spanish dynasty. The name Of the ex-
ecuted fighting schoolmaster of Spain
is being used as a rallying cry for all
the Of socialism and an
archy. Loyal Spain is a~pprehensive
for the monarchy. aware Of the Grip
pied condition of the kings forces,
already weakened by the drafts Of the
unpopular Moorish warfare. Alfonso
is in personal peril and his throne
faces a crisis. However else Ameri-
cant may bestow their sympathies in
the situation, they cannot but feel for
the English girl who is his consort
and who, under like conditions, when
assasslns made her nuptial procession
grim with blood, showed the world
how true a woman she was AMI how
real a queen.
