ANoTHER EXPLANATION OF ING PRICES.

cNH HERE is vet another theory of the reason for the high prices
of necessares. President Underwood, of the Erie Railroad
Company, proposes it. Says Underwood-hear him: "f all
the jawsmiths and sensational newspapers would shut up for a
while we would soon be on a normal basis. In the old days there
were too many people raising food commodities and too few eating
them. Now it is exactly the reverse; there are too few people
raising them and too many eating them. 1t is simply the swing.
ing of the pendulum The United States census figures belle this
statement. More food is raised per capita now than ever before.
There are agricultural machines that do the work formerly done
by hundreds of hands. Cold storage preserves what formerly de-
cayed and persisted. Our food exports have enormously increased.
Vast areas of land formerly considered Il desert are now under cult
xation. President Underwoods railroad does a large and profit
able business with the meat trust aud other combinations of the
Kind, and hence his views, so much in harmony with those his Gus
toners would like consumers to accept.

A "SANER FOURTH"

0o1 TIES generally are taking up the question of a"sanerI
" Fourth" Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Harrisburg and Trenton
are considering plans of changing the celebration. The idea
of a total suppression of the oldtime celebration is not entertained
by practices people, nor is it necessary. Springfield, Mass, where
tile historical pageant has proved a great success, did not attempt
it; but in that city last year there were no really Objectionable
features of celebration. Loud explosives, firearms and dangerous
fireworks of all kinds were eliminated. The boy was not deprived
of his frecrackers. 1t is idle TO talk about abolishing the fire.
cracker in Newark. That feature of the days observance can be
modified and regulated. But a general public celebration, pic
turesque, full of variety and enlisting the interest of the whole
population, young and old, will prove ehectual in estranging even
the small boy from the traditional observance. A few detached
celebrations in parks would not have a fraction of the public in
t@est of a great street pageant.

The Newark Board of Trades annual
banquet next Wednesday night, with the
President of the United States as guest
of honor, is looked upon as a national
event. It will be extensively reported
for the newspapers throughout the
country. Mr.. Taft made some note
worthy remarks at the Lincoln banquet
in New York. He may have something
of more Importance in reserve for
Wednesday night. But it is a pity
there is no Board of Trade building and
hall in which the President could be
welcomed prior to the banquet. The
twelve hundred members of the board
should really look seriously upon this
matter of a fitting home for the
board.

Peary is not likely to get the rear
admiralship the Senate was so quickly
disposed to confer on him for his great
Arctic feat. 1t also looks doubtful If he
will receive a medal from Congress until
his records are officially passed upon by
some European scientific authority like
the Copenhagen University. 1t would
seem that after the National Geograph-
ical Society had Endorsed his claims
Peary should have at once turned over
his data to the Copenhagen scientists
or some other similar body in Europe to
clinch mis- claims. Nobody in America
doubts Peary but that course would
have silenced the criticism now heard in
Congress.

To the Editor of tho Evening Star:
While all Newarkers are proud n
glad hat President Taft is going to
visit the city, n while they are only
too anxious that the city shall be prop
erly decorated to celebrate the event,
most of us are wondering what giant
intellect conceived the idea of putting
up those decorations a week ahead of
time. The result of that lack of fore
sight is visible today in Market and
Broad streets and has been visible
since two hours after. the flags strung
on the trolley wires were put up.
At best this is a bad time of year for
bunting decorations. The winds Ire
high and storms are due n day.
What was the idea, then, of putting
up flags and bunting only to have them
torn end knotted and blown down days
before the event for which they were
strung up takes place? The street flags
may last until President Taft arrives,
but if they do it will only be because
they have been carefully ~rearranged
before next Wednesday. A. M. B.

Secretary Seward bought Alaska from
Russia for $1,000, 900. There were men
in that day who said he had bought an
iceberg. Nearly two hundred millions
in gold alone has been taken out OF
Alaska, but that is a sinai part of its
natural wealth. The known Goa, de-
posits are worth more than a billion
dollars. Future generations will rank
Seward with Jefferson in the magni-

gave to the nation. Jefferson's gift

The Western live hog is assuming a
new Importance. Yesterday his price
went up to ss.471s per hundredweight,
with a prospect that today it would go
above $40, the record price in 1870. But
the live hog. the real natural article, is
not responsible for the increased price
of his carcass. The case is different
with the trust hogs that deal in slaugh-
tered natural hogs and other animal
species and .amass big fortunes out Of
monopoly prices.

PROBING SALES
OF FR|ARLANDS
Congress Hears From Officials
of Philippine Government
at Washington.

Local suglr-men are interested in
the investigation now on before a.
congressional committee into the sale
of the friar lands in the Philippine
The first news Of the results of this
Investigation are contained in the fol.
lowing dispatch from Washington:
WASHINGTON. Dec. 13.-The Con.
gressional investigation of the charges
of Representative John A. Martin of
Colorado that the Friar lands in the
Philippines are being turned over tol
the Sugar Trust began today before
the House Committee on lnsular AT
fairs.
Representative Martin devoted three
hours and half TO his bill of parti-
culars. The first witness called for
the defense was Capt. Charles II.
Sleeper. director of lands of the Int
rior Department of the Philippines
His TESTIMONY consisted largely of de-
scribing the sales of Friar lands TO-
individuals. lie stated that the law
clerk of his department held that he
could not dispose of the lands to cor.
porations, but could to individuals.
Almost Immediately afterward he tes.
tilted that while r. l.. Poole had APP
piled for the $4,000 acres of the San
Jose estate and II had been granted
him, no part of II had been decided tn
him. He said that 200 hectares had
been decided to the MindOro Develop.
ment Company, a corporation.
II was then developed that in the
contract with Poole the words cor
his nominees" had been inserted
something never done before In
spite of the deed to the corporation
and the request for the innovation in
the contract. Capt. Sleeper and the
other officials in the Land Depart
ment failed to inquire into the prin.
cipals for whom Poole was acting.
Congressman Martin in his state
ment described the connection with
the Sugar Trust of the Arm of Strong
& Cadwalder of which Attorney.Gen-
eral Wickersham was a member, and
with which Henry w. Taft, brother
VI AHt 10 ''hh'N''hs ~
stated that this firm had been paid a
large fee for defending the Sugar
Trust. He quoted from a letter writ
ten by Henry w. Taft in which that
firm withdrew from the Friar land
application because II was a discre.
tionary" matter with the Government
and the firm might be criticised.
Some fresh light on the Philippine
and deals was thrown by Mr.. Martin
in his description of the contract of
Frank w. Carpenter Executive Secre-
tary of the Philippines. for the lease
of the Tala Friar lands. Mr. Martin
says his lease gives Mr.. Carpenter
land at 20 cents an acre, while lands
in the same estate are leased to ma
tive tenants at 90 cents. When Mr.,
Martin stated that the contract guar
anteed to Mr. Carpenter police pro
lection for his land and that the Phi
lippine Government Is TO build roads
and bridges to and on the estate the
committee was astounded.

STEVEN SANTA
Claus IN CEBU
Honolulu Man Annexes New
Title Down in the
Philippines.

o. A. Steven of Honolulu has an
nexed new title down in the Phil
ippines. They call him the santa
Claus of Cebu," and the Cebu Chron-
icle tells why as follows:
There Is in Cebu no man who is so
popular with the children as Mr.. o.
a. Steven, labor agent of the Ha-
waiian Sugar Planters Association.
When II comes to entertaining the
young folks. Steven is always first
man on the job, and II is no wonder
he is being called the Santa Claus
of Cebu."
Sunday afternoon Mr.. Steven en-
tertainei about hundred ladies and
gentlemen of Cebu on board the
steamer Hawaii, which belongs to
his company, and the children were
particularly looked after. On a sep
arate table on the upper deck was
collection of good things for the
young folk that made them think
Christmas had come five weeks too
early this year. There were all
kinds OF cakes and sweets, apples
and oranges, in short Just the things
to delight the heart of a child, and
the children certainly had a delight
full time.
At other tables tea was served for
the ladies and those of the gentle
men who preferred tea to the other
refreshments that were TO be had at
table In the bow of the steamer. A
string band played in the stern.
Mr.. II. T. Fradgley presided as
host of the table in the bow, while
Mrs Fradgley assisted Mr.. Steven as
hostess at the tea tables, and Miss
Mollie Fradgley looked after her lit
tie playmates at the children's table.
Santa Claus" himself was omni'
present to see that everyone had a
good time. in which he was more
than successful.
The guests took advantage of the
opportunity to examine all parts OF
the dapper little steamer, which has
all the interior arrangements of n
