Corn Growing In the South

The Omaha Bee is alarmed. It fears the corn belt is to be shifted from the waist of Illinois. Iowa, Missouri. Kansas and Nebraska to that of the southern states. It sees trouble brewing in the 22S bushels of corn that North Carolina boy grew on a single acre. The Bee hopes, however, that by intensive farm ing the corn belt can be kept in its old place, but the Bee is mistaken when 1t says of the northwestern states that they have the soil, the climate and the experience, and they ought in all reason to be able to keep up in results from now on with their neighbors down south. who have to adapt their soil. to get most of their experience, and whose climate is not as good for corn as that farther north"
 There Is but little, If any, truth in all this. Nebraska does not contain a foot of land that is naturally richer than that of Alabama's Is black belt counties, and the climate of Alabama is even better adapted to the growing of corn than is that of Nebraska. The natural advan- tages are really on the side of the south, and if our farmers can be weaned from cotton growing and can be induced to heed the farm demonstrators the corn belt will indeed be thrown around the southern states also. The rivalry will go on as the boil weevil spreads over the entire cotton belt, and the south will soon at least make it's own corn. It may do so next year. To that extent the growing of corn in the south will certain ly be carried. How much further the corn-growing movement will be carried in Dixieland cannot now be determined

SAN FRANCIsCO-u

From the New York World.
 San Francisco's ruling motto used to be, 'Fiat justitia, ruat coelum." It is now Labor omnia vincit." The trade unions boss the town.
 Market street is the parade line in the city. Iron-capped holes are set perma- nently in the asphalt. When procession is due the caps are removed, stout posts are set in the holes and a strong wire rope is run along the right of way and attached to these standards so people cannot scoot across the street and an- noy the paraders. It makes the police end of the job easy. Market street is as wide as the magnificent medley called Broadway in New York, but it's great hotels are not embowered with electric chewing gum and whisky signs.
 San Francisco police officials resemble the New York variety, running largely to neck and feet.
 There are 199 items on the dinner bill of fare at the Palace hotel.
 Cable cars still survive. They were in vented to crawl up the McDougal street hill and travelled elsewhere until the llOlity Cdlllo.
 East coast oysters, transplanted, can be had on the half she'll The native oys- ter is a mite of thing about the size of the last joint of ladys little finger. It is served on half of its thin, sharp edged shell. The Palace hotel gives 1S of them for 8 cents. One fat Cape Cod bivalve would weigh as much as all of Aou tc that of the clam than the oyster
 San Francisco luxuriates in salt water baths away from the sea- Private houses have salt plunges, and there are a num- Der of public bath houses fed with sea water. notably one owned by John D. Spreckles, where for 50 cents one may paddle without limit in an emerald pool. The water is pumped from the bay and filtered before it is let into the pool. There is gallery free to spectators who wish to enjoy the washing without get ting wet
 The statues of Goethe and Schiller stand side by side on the same pedestal in Col den Gate park, though whether to save stone or to emphasize their intellectual companionship is not made clear. Across the driveway is an open spot of lawn that at some future day may uphold twin bronzes of William R. Hearst and Michel H. De Young in similar sweet and lofty brotherhoodl

money drawn upon F. Van Gerpen of l5 William street, New York. To these drafts were attached cotton bills of lad ing purporting to have been issued by railroad freight agents of Decatur and Selma The drafts were readily nego- tiated in New York by Van Gerpen. In many instances, so the indictments reeite, tho bills proved to be forgerles, repre- senting no cotton whatever.
 John w. Knight readily secured bail in Decatur and was at once released. The trial is to take place, as planned by United States District Attorney Street, on the first Tuesday of next April at Huntsville No one but Knight of the defunct firm stands charged with an improper use of the mails. It Is even officially stated that the federal govern ment believes that no member of the firm except Knight was cognizant Of the alleged violations of the postal laws.
 This seems incredible, but as 1t is put forth officially the public will be ex- pected to accept it at least until the trial takes place. It is to be hoped the trial at Huntsville will be exhaustive and that the truth and the whole truth in this re- markable case will be brought out and laid before the public. There has been altogether too much mystery in the en- tire transaction.

From Walter Wellman's "A Thousand
 Miles by Airship Over the Atlantic"
 in the December Hamptons.
 TT Is generally supposed that navi- gating the air in huge dirigible \ airship must be perilous during heavy wind storm. This Is not the case.
 Men who thought there was danger that the America might be torn to pieces by a storm had not reflected well upon the physical conditions surround ing a ship of the air. A steamship or sailing vessel is buffeted by wind and wave; but 1t Is partly immersed in an ocean of fluid which offers great re- sistance and subjects 1t to violent shocks
 An airship Is completely immersed in medium which offers so little resist ance that shocks are impossible. It is not an easy fact to grasp-but is still a fact-that the only resistance an air. ship offers to the wind. the only strain or pressure upon her parts, Is that which she herself creates with her en- zine and propellers.
 To understand this principle. imagine the America in the air far out over the ocean It Is calm; no engine is running; the crew, perchance. is asleep. Up springs gale, fast gathering force till it reaches a velocity of 50 miles per hour. Nothing whatever In the motion, the vibration, the pitching or

Dix of New York

''The public knew very little about John A. Dix, governor-elect of New York, when he was nominated, but the people are coming to know good deal Of him and the more they see of his public conduct the more they will esteem him." said w. J. Henderson of Buffalo. MT Dix gives every promise of making one of the ablest and most useful gov staneh democrat, a man of brains and a man of grit and a man of the highest integrity. His democracy Is of the type which distinguished Samuel J. Tilden and Grover Cleveland. Many people had an idea no doubt that MT. Dix was a plain business man without any marked ca pacity for statesmanship; but he will, I feel sure, prove himself to be very much of statesman. He will be classed with the partys Al presidential timber for 1912.
 By the way, the democracy has never had in my time so much high-class ma terial for standard bearer as now and have been a voter since 1876. In Harmon, or Woodrow Wilson, Dix and three or four others we have strong leaders for the convention in 1912 to select from Judging from the present outlook I would say it was an even bet that President Taft would be succeeded by democrat '

AN AIRSHIP IN A HEAVY WIND

rolling of the ship alarms and awakens the crew. The America being a free balloon" because no engine is turning simply becomes a part of the wind, so to speak, moves with the wind, offers no resistance to it, floats along as peacefully as if 1t still were dead calm. A member of the crew awakes, rubs his eyes, goes to his post; but, if it be night and he cannot see the ocean, he has no idea whether the ship is stand ing still or moving 50 miles per hour. If he strikes a match to light his pipe the flame curls straight upward, pre- cisely as If he were in closed room an experience which many of us have had in ordinary spherical ballooning.
 Suppose, now, the crew be reused. An engine is started, a pair of propel- lers set in motion. Then, and then only, does the ship offer resistance to the wind; and the measure of her resist ance is the energy exerted by the pro- pellers-just that. no more, no less. Nor does it make any difference whether the velocity of the wind be 10 or 100 miles per hour; nor yet any differ ence whether the ship be headed into the wind, or with 1.-the result is the same. Obviously, as long as the ship had sea room-could keep herself up in the air-no storm that ever blew could hurt her. But 1t makes a tremen- dous difference as to the course and destination of the ship from what quar- ter the winds come and with what force they blow.

Our Only Ten-BilllOn State
k--.A- k- 1iaA1-M EtAl

An addition of s1OO, ,O00,000 in assessed valuations will put New York state in the s1O,oOo 0Oo,OOO class. She will stand alone in that class, for no other state Is even a near rival Pennsylvania has Massachusetts is pretty good third. These are the three richest states in the union.
 New York secured the first S1 ,0oO, ,0OO, 900 valuation in 1851. In 1871 she had doubled this sum. In 1895 the aggregate had again been doubled. This in turn was doubled in Il years-ss, 900 eOOOOo in 1906. In 1909 the states assessed valuations had risen to s9,s6s, ,11s,O0O, and this year they have been increased to s9,9OO 100000, and 1t is almost certain that the rich state will cross the s10000, ,0Oo, 900 line next year. More than two-thirds of this almost incredible total Is furnished by the city of New York. To be exact the states assessed valuations outside of New York city are but $2, ITS, PSI, ,451- The city furnishes over one-half of the states population and over two-thirds of her assessed valua- tions. Were it not for the city of New York the state of New York would fall in wealth below both Pennsylvania and Massachusetts.

Blleeed Fraudulent Use

Alabama has been widely blamed be- cause she had not taken steps to have the affairs of Knight, Yancey & Co. probed to the bottom. How much or how little the state authorities have been wanting does not now matter, for the federal au- thorities have taken hold of the trouble, and John w. Knight has been indicted In five cases for offenses recited in 66 counts. These indictments allege that Knight used the mails in scheme to defraud people. The indictments go on to allege that Knight so used the malls by mailing letters to the Hanover Na- f1onal bank of New York city. These let

En6land'S Constitutional Issue

A great constitutional issue IS coming on to be fought out before the people of Great Britain, and 1t is well to keep it clearly in mind, for minor issues such as home rule, protection, land reform, labor legislation and the like will be much discussed. The paramount issue will, however, relate to the house of lords, and the two great leaders. Premier Asquith of the liberals, and MT. Balfour of the unionist camp are not trying to con ceal it.
 trying to avert destruction by reform proposition. They have been stubborn, but they are stubborn no longer, for they are face to face with destructive proposi- tions. They propose to reduce by half the number of peers, to abolish the hereditary principle altogether, and to in- troduce a plan for the election or selec- ton of peers. They propose to submit all disputes between the two houses to joint session, and certain essential ones to a. popular referendum, and to waive all veto claims as to finance bills proper.
 Great as these concessions would have seemed two years ago, yet today the lib erals reject them altogether They see that the house of lords under the peers plan would be tory body, and they want no tory veto on any question. We pro- pose," says MT. Asquith, such a change in the relations of the two chambers as will confine the second chamber to those subordinate functions which are admit tedly appropriate to such a body and which will secure fair, even working of the two parties whichever party is in power We ask that in future the will of the people as expressed by the house of commons shall within the lifetime of a single parliament be effectively supreme"
 In other words, the veto power of the house of lords, say the liberals, must be taken away. The unionists desire to re- tain portion of tito be. in other words, an obstruction to unrestrained liberal rule. Here is the issue. The lib- erals desire a clear field, and the union ists or tories propose to be a block upon power in the house of lords, or no veto power, and the issue goes to the electors for final settlement.

 A fall SO trippingly from his lips who knows the origin of that slangy but use ful term. Though originally applied only to the drug of the opium-smoking flend' whereby wild imaginings born In the clcuded brain were taken by the victim as true. by almost universal usage it has come to mean the essential factor or material cause of anything done or said the influencing or moving cause that enables one to achieve success in his ef- forts. to arrive" as the French put 1t.
 .,What's your dope on that story?' asks the city editor of the reporter, Just in from an assignment, meaning to asK' in genteel English, what are the live facts discovered, the meat of the article that is to be.
 What dope did you use on the court? asks one lawyer of "brother-in-law who has just had a decision rendered in his favor by the court meaning thereby to ask what cogent argument, or subtle influence. brought about the favorable opinion.
 .rbe word, while not of Chinese origin, ori o;nated among the Chinese of San Francisco" said an old resident of the Pacific coast. "Years ago, when that city was full of opium-smoki joints, run by Or,entals from China, they were largely natronized by many of the depraved white men of the town. Now, Chinese is a monosyllable language, there being no word in it with more than one syllable. Accordingly, when a Chinese learns. or rather partially learns, English, he is prone to pick and use only the most prominent syllable in a word, disposing of the rest by mere breathing or grunt.
 "when A white man would enter one of the San Francisco opium joints the Chin es. proprietor would come forward and ask affably: You want "ope?' the word "ope" being the Chinese pronunciation of the English word opium" formed by em- nha sizing the first syllable and letting the rest of the word go by the board. This, owing to the liquid running together of the two words want and 'opium,' was understood by the would-be opium smoker as dope Accordingly, the little pill that brought the funny dreams was spoken of among the initiated as dope From this tie transition to the meaning of the fanciful images conjured by the drug was easy. What dope did you use to think up that wild story?' became What dope are you giving us?'
 You've got the dope all right per- haps is the commonest form of express sion wherein the word is used in this final sense, meaning, you are right whether in ideas or action.

MusCLE AND GRIT

From the Washington Post.
 The Duke of Wellington, the Iron Duke" declared that the battle of Wa terloo was won on the football grid irons of Eton and Harrow, or words of that import, and then he added, The puppies would fight" No great man ever had more contempt for a dandy than the conqueror of Napoleon the Great, but he expressed his obligation to that serene courage of the Saxon that was as resolute at sunset as it had been at sundawn in an all-day fight where valiant men were at fore front.
 Physical courage is a matter of phys teal constitution. Some are born with out fear, and others are born to cow his fellow for having blue eyes in stead of black as to challenge him for lack of intrepidity in an hour of danger.
 That thought is suggested by the fol- lowing paragraph on the subject Of "the manly art of self-defense:
 Boxing was introduced in England in the earlier part of the eigh teenth century, its first practitioner being John Broughton, who kept a booth for exhibitions in Tottenham Court road, London, and rules were drawn up Au- gust 10, 1743. The vogue was due to the decline of sword combat exhibf- tions in the reign of George I. Brough : ton himself was the first who stood in the position of champion, a. dis tinction which he held for IS years. but eventually was knocked out by a butcher named Black. Broughton was a great pet of the Duke of Cumberland. who took the pugilist with him to Berlin, when he declared himself ready to take on the entire regiment of Gren- adler guards there If he were only al- lowed a breakfast between each two battles"
 That is an art supremely Teutonic or rather Saxon, though the Celts are even with them, especially the Irish. such as Dempsey the Great. Tom Savers for his size was possibly the greatest man who ever entered the ring. for more than any other man he could take punishment.
 It was the Tom Savers in Wellinpton that put it to the genius of Alfreo Tennyson to write:
 For this Is England's greatest son. He that gained a hundred fights Nor ever lost an English gun.
