SOME srARTLING FIGURES.

The reports of the census enumer-
ators on the number of homicides
committed in the United States in the
ten-year period from 1900 to 1910
promise to reveal startling state Of
affairs. Some of the figures already
made public are sufficiently horrify-
ing without waiting for the totals.
For instance, the census bureau
has reported that in the year 1907 no
less than S4S murders were commit
ted in New York City alone, an aver
age Of more than two each day.
The World, in commenting upon
the census report, calls attention to
the fact that over 100 murders had
been committed in less than three
years in which the perpetrators had
not been brought to justice, no arrest
being made in MANY of the cases. Of
these mysterious murders perhaps
that Of Elsie Sigel is the best remem-
bered throughout the country.
The outcome of the Hyde case at
Kansas City gives promise that in
future all the sympathy will not be
wasted on the prisoner at the bar.

dered men and their families With
a rigid application of the law there
would be less crime of all kinds. par
ticularly the taking of human life.

CANADIAN CROPS.

1t is the opinion of J. J. Hill. who
is a pessimist regarding the raising of
sufficient food products to feed the
constantly increasing population, that
We shall have to look to Canada for
a portion of our supply in the near
future.
The Dominion is increasing in pop
ulation also. Consumption, however,
has not overtaken production, and
probably never will.
The value of all crops in the Do
minion for 1909, according to official
final estimates, was S5S2,ss3,1oo, an
Increase as compared with 1908 of
500, 45S,100. The area under culti-
walton in 1909 was 3o,os5,55s acres.
Wheat heads the list, with an output
Of 166, geo bushels, valued at
s141, $4,000 (spring sown, s12s,47s,-
600. and fall sown, s15,s42, 0oo); hay
following wheat with an estimated
yield of 11,S77,1oo tons, valued at
s1s2,2s7,7OO.
The value of the other crops is
given as follows: Oats, s122,3se, 600;
potatoes, s36,39s,oo0; barley. $685.
$4,000; turnips and other root crops,
s1s,1s7,5 500; fodder corn, sI5,II5, 900:
husking corn, s12,76O,Ooo; mixed
grains. s1o,s16,OOo; peas. sT,2fs, 600:
buckwheat, s4,654,0o0; fax, s2,7si,-
600; beans. $1,ss1 900; rye, s1,254,-
600; sugar beets, 100000.
The value of the crops by provinces
was as follows, except for British CO.
lumbia, exact figures therefor not be-
ing available: Ontario, $2oo,3ss,o0O:
Saskatchewan, se7.677,5oO; Quebec,
sso,o7L.eee; Manitoba, s74,4ee,5co;
Nova Scotia, s22,s1s,Soo; Alberta,
s20,741,0o0; New Brunswick, sIs,16O,-
900; Prince Edward Island, s9,z1s,-
900.
For many years Canada was consid-
cred too far north for successful
farming. The figures above given
prove the falsity of such ideas. Mr.
Hill may not be correct IN his assump-
ton that the people of the United
States will depend upon the Doniin-
ion more or less for their food supply
in the coming years, but it is certain
that the Canadians will have large
surplus TO sell

WALSH ASKS PARDON.

Fifty thousand persons have signed
a petition asking President Taft to
pardon John r. Walsh, the aged Chi
cago banker, who is serving out his
sentence in the Leavenworth federal
prison.
This time Walsh signed the petition
himself. His name was lacking when
a former petition was presented, and
President Taft concluded that if a
pardon wasn't worth the asking, the
old fellow could serve out his time.
1t is the general opinion that Walsh
will be pardoned sooner or later. In
the natural order of things, his re-
naming years on earth are few. Con-
sequently, no great amount of harm
viii be done if he is allowed to die at
home, surrounded by his family.

FUNERAL OF KING EDWARD.

ALI that was mortal OF King Ed
ward VII now lies in tie tomb. His
faults and frailties will not be treas
ured up in the memories Of his sub
jects, and he viii be given credit for
good deeds performed in the flesh.
Thirty-sixth in the long line Of SOW
ercigns from the time William The
CoRqueror came over from Norman
dy, he acted his part on the stage of
life and was sincerely mourned when
the curtain was rung down and he
made his exit.
The funeral was an elaborate affair,
all the ancient forms and ceremonies
being vigorously observed, monarchs
of other countries following the coffin
through the streets of London On
horseback. Every mark Of respect
was shown, and the grief of the people
was genuine.
With the passing o. King Edward
new era dawns for Great Britain,
and the old order of things passes
away. His successor. almost austere
in his habits, will hold aloof from the
vulgar herd, and life at court viii

late king George V viii set a good
example, act prudently. and get
through the world with ease and pos
sibly honor
The king who was buried yesterday
saw much of life. In his youth he
wandered far afield, and freely par
age he became an apostle of peace,
and by his tact averted ruptures be-
tween the great powers. The good
overbalances the evil, and King Ed
ward will have a respectable place in
history.

the ground in a proper manner and
allow the weeds to set the start OF
them.
With a prize of $500 for the best
crop of potatoes raised on a single
acre Of ground. and .a75 for the Sec
ond prize, a sufficient incentive Is Of
fered to make the effort worth while.
Over in Europe, where the popula-
ton is large and the garden patches
small, the system of farming and
truck raising is intensive and the best
possible results are secured. Over
here the tendency is to spread out
over too much ground and only half
do the work, with the result that the
extra acres count for naught.
The Herald Republican will be
greatly surprised If some Utah farmer
does not secure the $500 offered by
the Short Line for giving his potato
crop a little extra attention.

OUTBREAK OF BUTLER AMEs.

Butler Ames. representative in
Congress from Massachusetts,. has
made an attack upon Chairman
Payne of the ways and means COM
mittee because the latter refused 10
give ear 20 a reciprocity resolution.
Chairman Payne declined because lie
did not wish to bring up the tariff
question during the present session
of Congress.
But that isn't all the story. Repre-
sentative Ames is an aspirant for the
seat in the Senate now held by SEN
ator Lodge, and the attack upon
Chairman Payne is the beginning of
his campaign. Reciprocity with Can

Massachusetts,, so Ames will atternpt

MIR CARNEGIE,s OPINION.

Andrew Carnegie, besides being an
extraordinarily successful business
man, is a close observer Of human
nature. Mr.. Carnegie is in close touch
with the higher financial powers. and
his opinion regarding the future must
be accepted as having a strong foun-
dation. In a recent interview the
canny Scotchman said:
The trouble with the average
American is that the $50 a week
man is too anxious to make his
next door neighbor believe he Is
earning so. I am confident we
are entering upon the most high
" prosperous period the United
States has ever had. Primarily
this wave of prosperity is que
to the tariff. Mr. Taft has
brought about tariff reform,
which, If given time to work it
self out, will prove moro near
" perfect tariff than this couu-
try ever had"
There is a world of wisdom in the
diagnosis of the trouble with the aver
age American. The s20 a week man
is mentioned as the type of a large
class. To make the indictment gen.
eral in its application. we should say
that the great majority of Americans
are given to putting on airs out Of pro-
portion to their income, making
hard times chronic without regard
to high prices or low prices.
The important part of Mr.. Car
negie's statement is in regard to the
wave of prosperity now sweeping over
the land. Due credit is given the, tariff
which Mr.. Carnegie is confident will
prove more nearly a perfect tariff
than this country has ever had, If
given a chance to work itself out.
