CAUSE OF ADVANCE
HIGH PRICES OF FOOD NOT DUE
TO TARIFF.
Foreign Demand for Our Products
Has Enormously Increased-Coun-
try Vastly Better OFF Than
When Prices Were Low.

Talking of the high prices of food
and the means. if any there be, to pre-
vent their going higher. it is remark
able that no one in Washington has
paid any attention to one obvious
cause of the advance which everybody
feels. An enormous quantity of our
food products is exported, chiefly to
England, and the demand abroad has
enormously increased during the past
quarter of a century. Great Britain
during the year 1908 imported food to
the value of $1,220,0 100000 almost all
of it for her own consumption. OF
this vast amount $3.50 100000 was for
meat, while the Importation of wheat
was about $25,000,000 less. Her i'm
portation of meats as recently as
1873 was less than 100000 hundred
weights, whilst in 1908, it reached
nearly seven times that amount. Only
during comparatively recent years
have we had any serious competition
for this great market, but lately Ar
gentine Australia and Canada share
the business with us. The increase in
demand, however has more than kept
pace with the new sources of supply.
The price of nearly all the worlds
food, available for the world market,
is therefore fixed, not at the source of
supply, but at the chief point of for
eign demand. 1t is not easy to see
how, under these conditions. any
abatement or even abolition OF the tar
iff on food by this country could ap-
preciably affect the price at home;
while it is still more difficult to un-
derstand how the tariff, high or low,
can increase the home price, since We
import scarcely any food, especially
the great staples We might get some
meat and wheat from Canada if there
were no tariff. but not at a price less
chan that which the Canadian pro-
ducer could get for his stuff in Eng
land, freights being equal.
Whatever be the cause of high
prices it still remains true that the
country is vastly better off to-day than
1t was 10 years ago when prices were
so low that the farmer was losing
money on everything he raised, and
the urban populations were idle and
could not afford to pay even the low
prices which food brought. If it could
be managed so that we could have
plenty of employment at high wages,
and at the same time get all our needs
at the lowest figures, all the Difficult
ties of life would be solved. Or, if we
could sell everything we produce at
present prices. and buy everything we
need at the prices of 1896, we should
have something like the millennium
We commend this simple problem to
refoImers generally. and especially to
the statesmen at Washington who
with such sound and fury, are looking
for the goat

Minimum for Minimum.

Senator Knox announces complete
agreement between the United States
and Germany on the tariff on the limo
of his policy of securing for us the
fullest opportunity in foreign markets.
Minimum for minimum is the basic
principle of the new convention. The
matter of maximum rates is entirely
eliminated, and there will be no dis.
turbance of trade between the two
countries, as at one time was feared.
The conclusion of the negotiations
was quickened by the sincere desire
of both governments to avoid even a
temporary suspension of friendly rela-
tions. as would have been the case il
the present agreement were permitted
to expire before new one was en-
tered into.

Does He Love ANYBODY?

Won Moltke had some few human
failings. He loved his wife devotedly,
but conquered his alma mater, Den
mark, even after she had educated him
for the military service out of her
poor, stingy pocket. But Kitchener is
a machine man only. He loves neither
man nor woman. His spear has
never known brother, as its sharp
point has hewn asunder the bodies
and souls of the sons of women.-Bos.

Courtesy In Young Girls.

Young girls are apt to be somewhat
thoughtlessly discourteous. and are
quite oblivious of the irremediable
evil often wrought by want of thought.
Such girls should bear in mind the
lesson in courtesy given by father
to his daughter. My child" said he,
treat everybody with politeness, even
though they are rude to you. For, re-
member that you show courtesy to
others, not because they are ladies,
but because you are one. Home

LITTLE CAUSE FOR ALARM
Idea That President Taft is to run
Amuck" Among Corporations
Is Absurd.

A short memory Is snare some
times.
The few who have critically and un-
favorably compared Mr. Taft with Mr..
Roosevelt in respect of his "quieting"
statement the other day about his
antitrust intentions have set a trap
for themselves. They forgot that un-
der like conditions and to the same
purpose Mr.. Roosevelt once announced
that he had no intention ito run
amuck among the corporations"
So, also. Mr.. Taft said, sensational
statements as if there were to be a
new departure and an indiscriminate
prosecution of important industries
have no foundation"
To silence the scaremongers with
their foolish alarmist rumors of an in
discriminate raid on big business
merely because it is big President
Taft took the trouble to reiterate his
position, and impliedly to assure the
public that neither he nor Mr.. Wicker
sham had been bitten by the anti-cor-
poration mad dog and gone rabid.
Business men who took stock in the
wild rumors of impending indiscrim-
mate raids on the great producing and
wage paying organizations of the coun-
try, and that is as much as to say on
the reviving national confidence and
prosperity, paid Mr.. Taft a poor COM
pliment. The former judge and model
civil governor of the Philippines is not
going to turn weathercock, or destruc-
tive, or seeker of the cheap and fleet
ing popularity that comes of rout to
the galleries and the sheet iron thun-
der of the professional trust buster"
In his message of January Z the
president made his policy and attitude
on the trust question very plain:
The economic advantages of COM
| bination are fully recognized, and the
aim will be to conserve advantages,
while preventing abuses.
There will be no prosecution with
out good and sufficient evidence of
wrongdoing.
All that corporations and combina-
tions have to do in order to keep out
of trouble with this administration is
to live up to the spirit of the antitrust
| law.
That law is unfortunately vague
and we believe, with Mr.. Roosevelt.
that it ought to be amended But it
very certainly was not intended TO
cripple and terrorize the great legiti
mate, fairly conducted industries OF
the country, and will not be so acted
on by this administration.
AS for the attitude of the courts in
regard to strictly literal Interpretation
of this, in terms, too sweeping and in
definite statute, let us quate what the
| court said in the joint Traffic associa-
| tion case in 1903:
The act of congress must have rea.
| sonable construction, or else there
would scarcely be an agreement or
contract among business men that
could not be said to have. indirectly or
remotely, some bearing upon inter
state commerce, and possibly to re-
strain it.

Meaning of Cemetery.

1t is not correct to say that "ceme-
terry" means the "city of the dead"
The word is from the Greek "Koime-
terion," meaning sleeping place, not
the place of the dead. There is nothing
in the thinking that it was originally
intended to convey the idea that the
departed were really dead any more
than there is in the old Hebrew term
for cemetery-"Bethaim house
