Senator Aldrch wants to work
nights on the tariff bill. Most of US
however, would prefer that Mr.. AID
rich would do less tariff work in the
dark.
The Seattle show is on. But Seattle
herself is a big show without any
Alaska Yukon exposition. A great city
that grew like the scriptural gourd in
a night and blossomed into a CONNER
cial marvel in a day.
The Sioux City Journal suggests
that Attorney General Byers' decision
to give up his private law practice
may not have bene entirely suggested
by the activities of his office, and that
the possibility that Mr. Byers is not
counting on retirement from politics
may have somewhat to do with the
decision. 1t is to be hoped that the
Journals suspicious are correctly
founded The state has need of Off
|cers and representatives of the Byers
stamp.

some newspapers to give away just
what $1,000 display of fireworks ac-
tually costs. Quit it. Let the "unpar-
allied display alone. If we think it cost
the money it shines and sparkles to
the Imagination as to the eyes. Every
display of fireworks is the greatest.
Let it go at that.
One notable thing about airships is

WHY DO WE IMPORT PorA1oEs2

Imports of potatoes into the United
States this spring have been enor-
nous. The receipts for the first three
months of 1909 We're S,629,15s bushels,
against 12s,676 bushels in the same
period last year. Heavy cargoes have
come from Europe, and shipments
have even been made from Mexico to
this country.
Consul A. G. Seyfert writes from
Owen Sound that the demand for po-
tatoes in the United States this spring
has been good thing for the Cana
dian farmers in that district. The soil
and climate there are we'll adapted to
the raising of large crops of an excel
lent quality of potatoes. American buy
ers have bought and exported over
10000 bushels during the months of
March and April from that locality
The most of them were shipped 70
Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Chicago and
Pittsburg. The average price paid was
so cents a bushel. The first boat that
left Owen Sound harbor had 7,50c
bushels on board for the Canadian
northwest. The price paid was about
Is cents bushel more than in other
years, caused by American demand
The potato is one of the main crops
of the Georgian Bay farmer, and he
raises 200 to $50 bushels to the acre
A bushel of potatoes is worth more
than bushel of corn, can be grown
on cheaper ground and costs little
more TO cultivate Good potato ground

TOO MANY LAVISH

Jim Hill has sounded a clarion note
for fewer and better laws" and those
who hang on the words of big fellows
who like Mr. Hill have done big things
are quoting his words as a new and
pertinent suggestion to people and leg
islators.
Mr.. Hill said nothing new, nothing
that has not been said over and over
by big and little men ever since law
givers and law makers began their
work. Simplification of the code is
necessary and in the multiplication of
unnecessary law men find excuse to
call attention from the crux of the
question. The main point has been
missed by Mr.. Hill and fellow
critics. What is needed and needed
worst is enforcement of law We might
simplify down to the old rule laid down
by the old school teacher, you know
what is wrong; don't do it," and still
fail to deliver the goods unless some
thing disagreeable happened promptly
to the one who is willing to gain ad-
vantage by infraction of his own sense
of obligation to the rest of us, Per-
haps we have too much law but that
isn't the worst of 1t. We have alto
gether too many just righteous and
necessary laws that are not enforced
for one reason and another.
Some one will always be ready to
steal if no bad consequences follow
his act; someone will always be found
to sell whiskey to drunkards and min
ors and Indians, to supply cocaine and
dope of all kinds to its victims if he
can feel reasonably certain that he
can "get away with it." If We were
to start on a process of elimination OF
laws from the code of Iowa and the
ordinance book Of Marshalltown WI
would not find much that in colo
blood we would conclude to eliminate
Some of US would want to cut out the

protection of individual rights and in,

tie But when we had finished COINS
over the entire ground we might, if w,
were honest, stand aghast at the lacl
of law enforcement and the torturins
and twisting of the statutes into de
Tense and a barrier for crime to hid
behind Perhaps as individual citi
zens we might realize our own re
sponsfbility, and analyze the persona
cowardice and hypocrisy which look
on while the lawless flourishh and tn
law endures contempt.
Mr. Hill is doing what all of us ar
doing; seeking an excuse for standin

FAD FOR WHITE POULTRY.
Wealthy New Yorker Will Have No
Others on Farm.

To have all the poultry on his coun-
try place-turkeys, chickens, ducks.
geese, guineas, etc.-entrely white In
color is the fad Of Pembroke Jones.
New Yorker who owns beautiful
country place near Wilmington, N. c..
which is known as Airlie. In theE
south Mr.. Jones is known principally
as the husband of Mrs. Pembroke
Jones, who in turn is known prfnci-I
pally as the only North Carolina wom-
an who has attained an exalted posi-
ton in the inner circle Of New York's
Four Hundred.
The Pembroke Joneses have spent
large part Of their wealth on. their
country home and estate, situated onl
little estuary running into Wrights-
vile sound, North Carolina. It wasl
formerly typical old Southern plan.I
tation, but the Jones money has trans
formed it into an estate Of rare beauty
Lawns and flower gardens have BEEN
laid out, divided by roads built oil
crushed oyster shells and bordered BY
rows Of semi-tropical trees. Artfaciall
lakes and grottoes are scattered about
the wide stretches Of the estate.
Mr. Jones spends great deal Of his
time at Airlie and is particularly proud
of his poultry farm. It is sight worth
going a long way to see. The ground
within the Enclosure is covered with
thousands and thousands Of different
birds, all Of the purest white. with
the exception Of drove Of mallard
ducks which we're Matched from eggs
brought from Long Island sound and
which Mr.. Jones hopes to domesticats

ings are promptly killed for the table

the biggest in'the country, and II Mr..
