The farmers these days are hear
ing Il grand chorus of pros
perity melody. The threshing
machine clatters, ''dolIar wheat,
dollar wheat" all day long; the
reaper sings of fifty. cent oats, the
growing corn cracks its joints to
the prospect that its crop will
bring seventy five cents bushel.
Hogs are grunting in their pens,
but not ut the figures they are
quoted Assoc per hundred.
The cattle moo and the sheep baa
in harmonious accents, while the
poultry in the barnyard take the
high notes as it watches the farmer
deposit his bank notes. The old
horse kicks at any offer o. less
than one hundred and fifty dollars
for himself. Of course, the Re-
publican party had nothing to dc
with this prosperity on the farm
of course not. 1t simply happens
under Republican rule that the
people generally are able to pay
these high prices to the farmer.

Injustice to the State.

While defendants in criminal
cases should be guaranteed a fair
trial and should be given every
proper protection against erron
eous procedure in the trial courts
the state also has rights not to be
ignored or diminished by the high
er courts.
A St. Louis grand Jury has re-
indicted Warner, the former men,
Der of the House of Delegates, con-
victed under previous indictment
of accepting bribe. 1t will be
remembered that the Supreme
court set aside his conviction be-
cause the word "the" was omitted
in the indictment in which he was
convicted, after fair trial. There
was no question of his guilt or of
the justice of the jury's verdict,
but in the sentence in the indict-
ment alleging that his offense was
"against the peace and dignity of
the state" "a declaration which
| must be made in every indictment)
| the word 1.-THE" was omitted before
the word "state." For this trivial
omission, which in no wise affected
the question of justice, the verde,
! was set aside by the high court and
the defendant set free. In the new
indictment the omitted word THE
is written in bold, black letters sc
that our wise judges may see il
and feel the gravity of their decis
ion if, after another fair trial

Witnesses will be gone, the evi.
dence on which his first conviction
was based will be weaker in the
second trial, and he may GO free,
all because our learned judges
thought it not just to let q man 90
to the penitentiary Oh an indict-
ment charging an otfense ''against
the peace and dignity of state"
The missing word was potent in
balancing the scales Of Supreme
court justice.
This case forcefuIIy emphasizes
the declaration of the Republican
state platform of 1908 favoring II
law ''proviling that no Judgment
in civil or criminal case shall be
reversed unless the court can af-
frmatiyely say, upon the entire
record. that the judgment was for
the wrong party and that, but for
the error complained of, different
Judgment would have been render
ed"
Such reversals or judgment as
that in the Warner case create
heavy criminal costs and impair
the confidence of the people in the
courts. The legislature should
make such ruling by high court
impossible. If the legal techni'
calities on which important case:
may be reversed are robbed .!
their potency the Supreme a"d Ap
peIate courts will he relieved of ,
great burden and the Circuit courts
will become more efficient in al
ministering justice.

The tariff bill which passed the
Senate last Thursday by a vote OF
IS to "a, while not making any
radical reductions, and, in some
instances failing to reach the
downward tendency of the Payne
bill passed by the House, is never
theIess, a downward revision from
the DingIey law schedules. On
many articles it sought, apparent
Iy, to find a satisfactory mean be-
tween the Dingley rates and the
rates as fixed in the Payne bill. 1t
seeks to raise the duties on few
commodities, like zinc, tiff, ETC.,
which demand a higher protective
duty; and on certain luxuries, for
greater revenues. While a num-
ber of ''insurgent" Republican
senators went on record against
the bill, their action does not i'm
ply that the measure is bad one.
They simply sought to impose
their own views Of what the bill
should or should not contain ul.on
the Senate. The majority of the
Republican senators, however,
never lost sight of the fact that
there were two important points
in tariff legislation that must gov
ern the bill--that labor still de-
manded protection against foreign
imports, and that the revenues Of
the nation are not at the present
time sufficient to offset the national
expenses. In spite of the clamor
against it from the ''insurgents"
and their Democratic allies, the
bill, as it was finally adopted, evil
IDENTIFY fails of being sufficient
revenue producer, and, foreseeing
this, President Taft demanded the
adoption of the corporation income
tax amendment to meet the re-
quirements of the treasury. 1t is
evident from this that the corpor-
ations did not have so much of a
hand in shaping the bill as the
Democrats have been pretending,
for had they been the controlling
influence in its making, they would
never had let it 90 through carry
ing that amendment, but would, on
the other hand, have sought to
load the additional taxes on the
masses by insisting on higher reve'
nue. duties. When it comes from
the conference committee for final
passage the bill will be a fairly
good tariff measure, providing that
no important changes are made in
it by the committee that will shape
its final aspect.
