Cron Conditions.

Official figures compiled by the
bureau of statistics of the Department
of Agriculture up to June 1, show the
general average of crop conditions
throughout the United States to be
$40 per cent, as compared with So,
.S79, 77.S and s5.5 for the same date
of 1909, 1908 and 1907 and the ten
years average, respectively. The av-
erage, therefore, is sustained and there
is nothing so far to warrant the dis
couraging reports that are being so in
dustrlously sent abroad. OF course, in
places certain crops are not up to the
normal, but, taken the country over,
conditions are almost as good as they
have been for ten years.
For instance, winter wheat, over
which there exists much anxiety this
year the country over, averages so,
while last year at this time 1t aver
aged SO.7, the year before, which was
a bumper year, Sc, and for the last ten
years 1t has averaged 81.9. This years
dNGIh6Sg thtANlOAVB 10 Ohlg 1sV poi NChb
below the normal for a decade, which
is not bad. Spring wheat's average for
ten years has been SO. and this year it
is 92.S. Oats is above the ten-year av'
erage, which is SS.4, being this year
81. Cotton, too, is thus far we'll above
the average.
Unfortunately, Nebraska's wheat con-
ditions are somewhat below standard,
but Nebraska is only one of the big
wheat states and there are enough
others to bring the average up, taking
the governments estimates as accu-
rate.
And the prospect of fruit is not as
bad as was feared. Although late frosts
killed so much fruit in the central
states, the general average for the
country on apples is only SO, as COM
pared with a ten-year average of 69.S;
on peaches this years average is 90,
as compared with the ten-year aver
age of IS. On both the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts the fruit crop is large,
promising to compensate for the losses
in the interior.

Then and Now.

In his Washington hall speech not
long ago Mr.. Bryan took special de-
light in ridiculing the idea of personal
liberty as a democratic doctrine and
opposition to sumptuary legislation as
democratic policy, II have heard
people say they were opposed to
sumptuary legislation" he declared.
when a man talks to me about
sumptuary legislation now l want him
to define what he means by it. They
have been using these general terms
long enough"
Mr.. Bryan evidently forgot the let
ter which he had written over his own
signature when prohibition was up in
Nebraska before, and which had been
published more than once, proclaiming
himself in favor of the very declara-
ton against sumptuary legislation
which he now denounces. In that let
ter, addressed to another distinguished
democrat, upon whom he soon turned,
Mr.. Bryan outlined what he thought
should go into the platform about to
be promulgated by an impending dem
ocratic convention and suggested that
I'VE had better content ourselves with
a declaration against sumptuary legis-
lation, such as we usually have" In
cidently 1t is disclosed that the only
controlling factor governing Mr..
Bryan's position at that time was the
desire to frame platform that would
get the votes of both sides.
This resurrected letter, of course, is
so old that 1t has been barred by the
statute of limitations. but 1t illustrates
Mr. Bryan's political agility. although
not more than the numerous and
varied paramounts successfully pre-
scribed by him as the only cure-all for
every social i'll. That Mr.. Bryan used
to be against sumptuary legislation
and is now for it merely illustrates
anew his kaleidoscope kind of politics.

Whole Trutb va Half Truth

As to the commissioner who is TO
take charge of the plant when acquired,
President Barlow of the Water board
says that Arnold c. Koenig has had that
title for the last six years. AS to
whether or not the board would continue
him in that position when the plant was
acquired he was not prepared 20 say
News item.
Why should not the Water board
and it's officers give the public the
whole truth instead of a half-truth?
President Barlow knows as well as
anyone else that the Job of water COM
missioner was specially created by h.
B. Howell for himself. He knows that
Howell wrote into his first water bill
a section providing for the appoint
ment of a water commissioner whose
salary could never be reduced and
whose term of office should be per-
through removal for cause by a two
thirds vote of the whole Water board.
He knows that the present water COM
missioner was appointed .as a purely
temporary makeshift, and that by
oversight he continued to serve longer
than the year, and thus acquired per-
manent tenure under the law. He
knows further, that when this was dis
covered r. b. Howell changed the law
excepting" the water commissioner
from civil service protection for the
express purpose of reopening the way
for his own appointment to the place.
Howell water bill No. l reads as
follows:
No regular appointee or employee of the
Water board who shall have been in it's
service for more than one year shall be
subject to removal except upon a two
thirds vote of the full board, and then
only for cause, ETC.
Howell water bill No. reads as
follows:
No regular appointee or employee of the
Water board, except water commissioners,
who shall have been in it's service for
more than one year shall be subject to
removal except upon a two-thirds vote
of the full board, and then only for
cause, etc.
That the present water commits
sioner never regarded his position as
anything but temporary and precari-
Gus was evidenced last year when he
took steps to become a candidate for
city engineer, for he surely would not
have exchanged a permanent position,
with assurance of better salary, for
an elective office limited to a three
year term unless he knew he was
slated to- make way for someone else.
True, we have had water commits
sioner by that title for six years on a
nominal salary-only half of what
each member of the do-nothing Water
board has been drawing. But we are
not prepared to say what will happen
to him when the salary is made bigger
than that which the board members
receive.

Japan It's Own Press Agent.

Printers ink is playing big part in
connection with the Japanese occupa-
tion of Corea. Japan is Jealous of it's
protectorate over the Hermit Kingdom
and does not propose to let the world
remain in ignorance of the beneficent
influence 1t is welding in this mag
unanimous enterprise of constructive
statesmanship So it has issued its
second annual report on Reforms and
Progress in Corea," a volume of ex-
cellent printing and engraving. con-
tanning some $50 pages. The intent of
this publication manifestly is to dis
seminate information concerning Corea
after it has justified its subsection to
Japanese authority. The keynote of
the entire volume is a defense and ex-
plotting of the work of the Resident
General" and all the reforms and
progress are ascribed to the resident
general and other imperial authorities
of Japan"
But evidently Japan has been an
noyed at reports abroad that it has
forced it's influence upon Corea, and
to disprove this impression this book
cites the interesting fact that the peo-
pie of Corea, through their emperor,
have foresworn their allegiance to the
Japanese policy and that this fealty
was obtained through the remarkable
office of the emperor going in person
to the Imperial Mausoleum "in order
to make solemn oath to the departed
spirits of his imperial ancestors con-
corning the adoption and carrying out
of national policy with a view to the
complete reform of Corea and it's peo-
ple." The book, of course, does not
add that this Injunction was laid upon
the emperor by Japan, leaving the
implication that his act was entirely
voluntary.
Then the world is assured that the
most cordial relations exist between
the Coreans and Japanese and that the
former are beginning to acknowledge
their debt of gratitude to the mikado
and his people.
Many of the reforms enumerated in
this volume would strike a responsive
! chord in the United States and all ap-
pear to rest upon lofty motives The
book, therefore, is of value as a matter
of information, and, while there is
nothing to be gained by shutting off
other sources of information, though
critical to Japan, it should have a good
effect.
But the Japanese people are keen,
shrewd politicians and very ambitious,
so that they may never hope to gain
entire freedom from criticism in their
aggressive conduct in Corea. They are
doubtless doing much good for less
enlightened people, but they are not
taking their eye off the main chance.

WHY THE RAILROAD sQUEEzEs
other Public Corporations Content
with Present Charges.
~. v1.I. Xuo-Id

New York World.
Why is 1t that only the railroads Of all
the public-service corporations, plead the
cost of living, high wages and overpro-
duction of gold as excuses for increasing
their rates and fares?
Street railways are not charging each
passenger cents; the tendency is to ex-
tend their lines and give a longer ride
for the money. The subway will carry any
one sixteen miles for a nickel.
The Consolidated Gas company was COM
PEELED to reduce it's rate from 81 a thousand
to 50 cents; yet 1t seems to be making
money; its stock is quoted at about 1876.
Telephone companies are not raising tolls
but tend to decrease them. Water COM
panies rates are being lowered by legis-
lative acts, which are sustained, as In the
Nashville case, by the supreme court on
the ground that the lower rate yields a
fair profit. The chief telegraph company
has recently begun sending ffty-word
night letters at the ten-word day rate.
Electric lighting and power companies offer
alluring rates for special industrial pur-
poses to increase their business. In all
these industries the rule is that large bust
ness cheapens production.
Why are the railroads alone pleading for
higher rates2 In increasing by 1874 per cent,
since 1898 the dividends upon their stocks.
which in many cases are VIGOROUSLY of a
speculative nature, have they too gener-
ously discounted the future?" II they
have, why should the rest of the country
pay for their bIunder?
