Horse Holds It's Own.

According to the crop reporting ex-
perts Of the department of agriculture,
the number of horses in the United
States at the BEGINNING of the year
was larger by 100000 than 1t was II
months ago. says the Cleveland Plain
Dealer That means an increase Of
about 2 per cent. In the same year
the rise in the market value of all the
horses in the country was estimated
at about 1902, 81, 000, which means a
gain of more than IL per cent. At the
end of 1909 the total value of the
horses in the United States was calcu-
lated at almost the aggregate value of
the swine, the sheep and the cattle.
1t was five times as great as the value
of the hogs, 10 times the value of the
sheep. and more than 100000, 600 in
excess of the market price OF all cat
tie, including mich cows.
These facts show more than the gen.
eral rise in prices. They furnish proof
that the horse market is exceptionally
strong and that the increase in the
number of horses, although it has been
about equal in the rate per cent to the
growth of the population, has not been
sufficient to prevent sharp rise in the
average market value of horses in all
sections of the country. AS long as
the value of the horses in the United
States can increase more than $780,
600, 600 in a year, the farmers and
others who raise horses for the market
will trouble themselves very little
about the competition of automobiles
and all other rivals of the horse in
any of the fields where he has been
used.
The horseless vehicle is a great sue
cess. So is the trolley railroad, and
so are traction engines and steam
plows, in certain fields. but the world
evidently needs the horse as much as
ever. The modern inventions which
have seemed to threaten his Danish
ment have only widened the use of
vehicles and increased travel and
traffic.

Ship Subsidy scheme.

That lobby of tremendous power is
working for the passage of ship sub
sfdy legislation at Washington is not
surprising
If the prospective beneficiaries of
this proposed ship subsidy steal can
not get votes in legitimate way, it is
not unlikely that they will pursue
other methods.
With millions of dollars in subsidies
at stake all possible cunning and con-
nfying to get this legislation may be
expected. The methods employed are
on level with the legislation itself
bad.
Every pubIic-spirited legislator in
Washington should take positive
stand in opposition to this ship sub
sfdy steal
At any time 1t would be outrageous
to enact such legislation, but 1t would
be unspeakably outrageous to do so
now with the people already bearing
such a great burden of taxation, with
the prices of many things sky-high.
and with the tyranny of monopoly and
greed already too much to bear.

Fear of the Comet.

There are many persons even now
in an uneasy state of mind In conse-
quence Of some of the conjecturea
speculations and predictions pub
Iished in regard to what may result
to the earth from contact with Hal
ley's comet
Such persons should consider that
comets are parts Of the universal sys-
tenn, subject to the laws that govern
the whole universe Comets have ap-
peared and disappeared as long as
this planet has existed and there is
mo- evidence that they ever did the
earth any harm.
Halley's comet within the historic
period, has come, illuminated the noe
turnal sky for weeks and gradually
gone back into the depths of space
without any injurious effects, except
those caused by foolish fright.
In few months the comet will have
come and gone, as it has come and
gone so many times in the history of
the world, and then those who have
bsen disturbed by fears of a great
catastrophe from collision with the
comet, viii see how irrational and un-

The government of Mexico is today.
very different from what it was when
that state shared in the revolutions
still common in Central America. A
time was when there was no safety
for any one in that then turbulent
country. That was when the bandits
fiourished.
At this time lived Cortina, the great
est bandit that Mexico has ever known.
While factions were fighting for the
presidency the country was in a state
of chaos, and Cortina met no obstacle
in his wild career He rode through
Mexico like cyclone, numbering and
pillaging by the way. What he did
with the wealth he took was not gen.
orally known. He certainly did not
carry it about with him. He spent
great deal when in a position to use
money, which was not often, but even
this would not account for the enor-
nous amounts he should have accumu-
lated.
Some supposed that he had hiding
places I'm the mountains and that even
tually he would buy immunity Of the
government for his crimes. make some
restitution and still have a vast treas
ure left. But Cortina never gave evil
dence OF having such treasure. There
came a time when he could have used
wealth If he had had it to save his
life. Either he did not attempt to use
1t thus or It was refused. The latter
superstition is not to be entertained.
There must have been some hidden
reason why Cortina was permitted to
plumber and why he did not grow rich.
There have been many theories, but
only one that fulfills the conditions.
A certain man was aspirant for the
presidency Of Mexico, To perpetrate
a Mexican revolution money is re

quired. This man, whose purpose 1t
was to overthrow the existing gov
eminent, had no means 1t was sup
posed that he had an agreement with
Cortina by which the bandit was to
furnish the required sum. In other
words, so the story goes. Cortina was
to be permitted to pillage the country
on condition that the Hons share OF
the plumber be turned over to the pres
idential aspirant for the purpose OF
attaining his ambition
When the revolution was accom-
plished it was supposed that an effort
would be made to capture Cortina and
punish him for his crimes. But the
government did not appear to be in
any hurry to do so. Cortina still swept
over the Mexican, plateau, perpetrating
his lawless deeds. There came time,
however, when the people began to
murmur, and many unpleasant rea-
sons were given why the bandit was
permitted to continue his devastations.

ASQUITHS SOON
TO BE SEPARATED?
British Premier Does Not Live Hap
PLY With Wife-Expected to
Resign Office.

London, March 11.-"Judicial separ-
alton of Prime Minister Herbert As
quith and his wife was yesterday the
favorite topic of conversation in Lon
don society. The affair is no longer
regarded as a mere rumor, but has ar
rived at the stage where actual pro-
ceedings are believed near at hand.
Although news of an actual break
was surprise to many, the Asquiths
long have been known not to live hap
PLY together. Many thought, how
ever, that for reasons of policy they
would not invite the publicity of court
proceedings.
It is now almost certain that Mr..
Asquith will resign the leadership of
the liberal party and retire as prime
minister. He will be made a peer by
King Edward If the present program
is carried out, and find scope for his
ability In other channels.
Within two weeks the premier is
said to have offended King Edward
by appearing before him too soon
after having Iunched well, but not
wisely. He came to ask pledge from
the king that he would sustain the
governments hand in the matter of
abolishing the veto of the house of
lords

king tartly, but l advise you, sir, to
