CAN GROW
GREAT CORN CROP

SAVANNAH. Ga, Oct. I-That the
south can grow corn successfully and at
a much lower cost than it can buy from
the north and west, has been demonon-
strated frequently, said Prof. James NJ.
johnson. manager of the model farm in
discussing, last night, the possibilities of
that industry in the connection with the
prevalence through this section, especial
~, of the corn weevil said to be the
worst evil the southern farmer has to
contend with.
Professor Johnson states that in all
probability the largest yield of corn ever
made on a single acre of land was grown
in the south by a southern farmer on a
piece of land that few years before
the record crop was produced was con-
sidered to be very low grade of fer
tility.
However, improved methods in soil
treatment, preparation, fertilization and
cultivation, aided by the right kind of
seed corn to plant enabled this piece of
land, under the management of H. j.
Drake, of Marlborough county. South
Carolina, to make an authentic yield of
2o5 bushels per acre. weighed as it came
from the field at harvest time. This, it
is contended, can be done by others, and
the south should give more time to corn
raising than has been given in the past.

DIVINE RIGHT OF PROPERTY

Editor Herald: All honest citizens
rejoice again that Col. Roosevelt re-
fused to put his feet under the same
table with Senator Lorimer.
But, after ALL Senator Lorimer is
only the puppet of that nest of pi-
rates, the meat trust, who are the
higher ups" in the case.
1t seems to me if we had a real gov
ernment in this country those packing
plants would be confiscated in twenty
four hours, as the property of all out
laws should be, whether the offender
be a powerful corporation or horse
thief.
Ninety millions of people are being
held up at every turn because prop
erty. no matter how secured, is some
thing sacred.
Isn't it about time that the divine
right of property went the way of the
divine right of kings?
Popular government, basely be-
trayed by the leaders of both old par
ties, has been driven to the last ditch.
Behind all the outer works of the
reactionaries stands the citadel of spe-
cial privilege, the judicial department
of our government, supporting and sus-
tanning the others.
And when the different branches Of
our government shall have been purged
of the parasiticaI growth which is sap
ping away it's life blood, the people,
under the initiative, referendum and
recall, will be the court of last resort,
and no seven or nine men will have a
monopoly of justice.

"pROTECTED" WORKERS

IF "protection" is primarily for the
benefit of the American working
l. man now. since no one advances
the argument that it is longer needed to
prop UP infant industries, the city that
should make the best showing as to
living conditions is Pittsburg, which is
almost wholly a creature of the highly
protected steel industry
The Herald recently showed, on the
best authority, that two-thirds of the
steel workers receive a wage not
greater than $12 a week, and that only
one-fifth receive more than $15. Miss
Byington, a social worker, is reported
by the Survey, publication devoted to
civic matters in Pittsburg, to have
made an investigation of the budgets
of ninety families in Homestead,
suburb Of the city. Thirty-two OF
these had less than $12 week. Their
average weekly expenditures were $9'lS,
under the severest economy.
How do the families fare that spend
from $12 to SIS a week? Miss Byington
gives us the items for sixteen families
IN llllS wage SIOupS WIN e'ii N''oAN'70
total expenditure of 1882, or scant
500 a year. These families pay about
$40 a month rent, but ten of them live
with more than two persons to room
and only five have city water in the
house. They pay on the average "a
cents per man per day for food, but
four of the sixteen spend less than %
cents, Clothing they buy at the rate
of $S1.64 a year. Fifty cents a week for
insurance provides only for burial,
should death occur. The only item that
looks hopeful is the margin of $2.S3 for
all other expenditures. But the families
in this group were not self-indulgent;
20 cents paid the weekly bill for liquor
and tobacco AZ cents went for medical
service AZ cents for furnishings and
minor household expenses, leaving only
S1.23 for car fare, papers, recreation,
education and miscellaneous expendi-
lures.
1t is no wonder that some of these
sixteen families reported but cents a
week for recreation!

The San Francisco Fair
CPacine outiook)


The special session of the legislature
may vote to submit state bond
amendment to the constitution to as
sist in financing the san Francisco
Panama fair. but we do not believe
the project viii meet with favor among
voters who do not live in that city ana
particularly among voters in the SOUTH
ern part of the state.
The amount proposed is five millions,
of which our share south of the Teha-
chapi would be about two millions.
Now, il we believed In the fair at all
as a thing of benefit to the state and to
San Francisco, 1t would be easy enough
to figure that we would get that much
benefit from 1t. When the bill appro-
priating q quarter of a million dollars
for an exhibit at the Worlds Fair at
st. Louis was before the California
legislature, a member from some north
ern county voted against it, and in his
speech on the subject said; 81 am tired
of voting the states money for exhibits
to draw people from the east and then
see them all locate in the southern
counties" His argument was fairly
sound and it applies in degree to the
worlds fair scheme. Most OF the peo-
pie who come to San Francisco Will pay
Los Angeles visit, and a large per-
centage of those who pay us visit
sooner or later come mere W i've.
San Francisco has subscribed over
five millions to the fair and expects
finally to make it seven millions. Now
there are not only scores and hundreds
of other uses to which that amount OF
money could more wisely be spent for
the citys welfare, but we are honestly
of the opinion that If those millions
could be heaped up in cash in a boat
and strewn over the bottom of the bay
san Francisco would actually be better
off ten years hence than she Will be II
they are spent in holding a fair.
The only possible success in fair is
to attract great numbers of people. They
must be decently cared for or the town
is disgraced, and the fair given black
eve from the start. Yet they are only
there for a few months AS hotel
proposition a fair is an economic para
dox, for it is impossible to make guests
pay enough in so short time to cover
the Capitalization required for their en-
tertainment The thing begins with
an apparent boom in the hotel busl-
ness; but it closes with a grand smash

and a successful getaway; but the city

cAVALIERI DEFENDED

Editor Herald: A coterie of Boston
ladies have undertaken to boycott
Lima Cavalieri, taking the part of
Robert Winthrop Chanler-or Chaloner,
whatever the dear boys name may be-
mo self-respecting person should
listen to Lima Cavalieri sing" "She
should be driven from the American
STAGE" I'm cultured Boston, my dear,
she is de trop," etc, etc.
Lima Cavalieri in her life has been
immoral, as evidenced by her illeg1tlm-
ate 16-year-old son. But the very age
of the boy proves that the wrong was
done to his mother when she was at
the tender age of Is years or less, a
mere child and largely irresponsible.
Would any American girl of that age
be safe from an accomplished rascal
with a good opportunity if she was
abjectly poor and had no protection
from her parents, which was the con-
dition of Cavalieri's childhood? She
bravely acknowledged her child before
the world, scorned the boys father and
sought to live down the shame by
devoting her life to her art. And as
singer she has eminently succeeded.
Chanler came along with a good
name and a bad record. Cavalier
looked good to him, and it is fair to
assume that he would have tried TO
win her without marriage had there
been chance But the game must be
had at any cost. Chanler offered mar
riage and lied about his fortune. CaVa-
lieri candidly said she did not love
him, but would marry him for the sake
of companionship. She matched her
income from the stage against his sup
posed fortune, and she earned greater
revenue than Chanlers property would
produce unmortgaged.
They married, and then the denoue-
ment Chanler had lied about his
wealth, was in debt and had nothing
On the strength of family connections
he had imposed on Cavalieri, who as
sumed that he was a gentleman.
Chanler did one of two things. He
either debauched the sacredness OF
marriage for the purpose of-let us
say--officiating as the husband of a
most attractive woman, who could not
be otherwise approached, and then
deserted her in q couple Of weeks, as
he doubtless intended to do before he
married her. Or else he married her
under false pretense, intending to live
off her earnings, which would entitle
him to a rather harsh cognomen in
acertain circles.
OF course, Cavalieri cannot expect
sympathy from the critics referred to-
whose culture has developed discretion
of a high order and kept their outer
garments immaculate, and Cavalier
being a woman they will not even
