Preparatory School Needed.

The Military Academy offers SO much
for an ambitious boy that 1t Is strange
how few take advantage Of the oppor-
tunities and prepare themselves for the
entrance examination. Out OF list of
between five and six hundred candidates
only one hundred and eight boys sue
ceeded in passing the entrance examina
ton, and more than one hundred Of those
who had been designated failed to re-
port at all. At the second and supple
mentary examination. which occurred at
West Point February %, for the purpose
of giving candidates a second chance,
only twenty-seven out of q total of one
hundred and six who reported were able
to pass the examination. They failed be-
cause they were not properly prepared
and that is construed as a reflection upon
the thoroughness OF the high school In
sruction in this country. 1t demonstrates
the necessity of a preparatory school con-
nected with the Military Academy at
which boys may have the opportunity Of
O. preliminary training instead OF coming
to West Point without the slightest COM
prehension Of what is expected Of them,
and with the expectation Of submitting to
the ordinary examinations to which they
have been accustomed In the public
schools.

Think Kindly of the Miorobe.

Despise not the humble little bac- terium. Consider its ways as revealed by science and understand that, as there are good and bad men, so, too, are there good bacteria as well as bad ones. In the microscopica1 world there are doubtless bacteria who imagine that the grafters. the thieves and the murderers are ruining the country, de- pIeting it's resources and debasing its morals. but bacteriological statistics prove that the good far outnumber the bad and that only in rare exceptional cases do the latter get together in large enough numbers to make trou- bIe.
 k On the other hand the good bacteria are working for the welfare of human fty Prof Winslow of the University of Chicago tells us that it is bacteria which keep our butter sweet and make our buttermilk and cheese wholesome There are millions of bacteria, he says earning honest livings in every house hold While we sleep countless num- bers of these unorganized workers are performing invaluable services for us Prof Wins1ow has spoken at the right moment. It was time some one said a good word for the microbe and re- minded us of the poets advice:
 Be kind to the microbe; not many
 may know
 The depth of microbial love.

penver,s Apple Show.

The most efficient use possible of the irrigated lands of this state should be the aim of everyone concerned in the future growth of Colorado and Denver; and there is mo question that this can be achieved more effectually through horticulture than through any other kind of tillage. The apple show as an exposition of one of the most import ant kinds of horticulture appeals for the reasons just stated to the people of Denver as well as to persons directly engaged in apple production. They will find there good reason for looking upon horticulture as one of the pillars of Colorado's wealth.
 It should be recognized also that great benefit may arise from the in terest which the general public takes in an industry closely related to the prosperity of a city or state. Kansas City people, for instance, are forever talking about the packing business which is the cornerstone of that city s greatness. Considering soil and cli- matic advantages, horticulture may well attain something like the same prominence in Colorado; and there is no question that it would be greatly aided in reaching that eminence if the public appreciated in full it's import ance and it's possibilities. To make Colorado one of the great fruit states of this country would be an achieve ment worth the effort and worthy of the ambition of every citizen.-DenVer Republican.

Immigration Commission Denounced Its Work Threatened with Extinction-House

Washington, Jan. 24.-By cutting off a deficiency appropriation of $l25.- GOO for the national immigration com mission./ the house today lent its sup port to several members, led by &ep sresentatiye- Macon of Arkansas, who denounced. the commission and its work and threatened it with immedi- ate extinction.
 K Unless. friends of the commission succeed in having the item restored in the urgent deficiency bill in the senate it will be compelled to suspend work for lack of funds. The commission asked flor the $125.000 appro priation whi3h it needed to wind up it's task. a The commission was created by an act of congress February 20, 1907, and was authorized to make a, full in quiry into all subjects dealing with the admission of aliens. It has brought out d number of interesting reports dealing with conditions on immigrant carrying ships and the lives of aliens after their arrival in this country. Several other reports on a number of allied subjects are in course of prep aration.

Urgent Deficiency Bill Passed-Till' man Criticised the Administration.

Washington, Jan 24.-Refusing to appropriate any money for the ex- penses of the immigration commits sion, the. house of representatives to- day passed the urgent deficiency bill, carrying total appropriation of near ly S5,O00,000, which is a reduction Of more than $1.00O,000 under the esti- mates submitted by the treasury de- partment.
 Hostile criticism of the work of the immigration commission was a lead ing feature of the debate which was concluded by elimination of the en- tire para graph for the continuation of the work of that commission, which desired S125,000 to print it's several reports and to conclude it's business
 Following the action taken by the two democratic caucuseS the house appointed Representative Graham of Illinois to succeed Representative Lloyd of Missouri as a member of the Baliinger-Pinchot Investigating com- mittee.

"REEF TRUST" INQUIRY. CHARGE READ TO GRAND JURY Action Postponed for Few Days, Some
 Docket Cases First

Chicago, Jan. 24.-Judge K. M. Lan- dis of the United States district court in his charge to the federal grand jury assembled today to investigate trust" declared it was through infor- nation furnished by him that the pres ent proceeding was started.
 Judge Landis said also that after he had notified the United States dis trict attorney in Chicago on January 20, he was surprised to see on Janu- ary 22 notices in the newspapers com ing ostensibly from Washington that the government officials there ordered the investigation.
 It was announced, however, that ac- ton upon the Beef trust investiga- ton would be postponed for a few days until some docket cases had been considered. It was explained that the present investigation was of such inn portance that it would be better if the jury were given a little time in routine of the grand jury procedure before considering the evidence to be submitted in the packers case.
 After Judge Landis had read his charge. the jury proceeded to take up some cases of minor importance.
 Having in mind the duty of the district attorney said Judge Landis. T notified that officer on the 2Oth Of the present month that on your as sembling here today the court would direct your attention to the subject of the present investigation.
 Tt is source of profound regret that two days later there began wide spread newspaper publication of mat ter purporting to come from Washing ton and expressing the intention and determination of certain government al functionaries as to this proceeding and alleging in that connection their purpose with respect to certain indi- viduals residing in. this district.
 Without assuming here officially that there is anything behind the pub- 1ications except journalistic enter prise I caution you to pay no atten- tion whatever to them. as it will be your duty to refrain from making any disclosures of matters transpiring in your jury room"

Baseball Reform Postponed.

Many lovers of baseball will regret that the American league is determined not to discontinue the use of spikes The committee to which the proposed reform was referred reports tliat no substitute has been devised or suggest ed that would make 1t possible to do away with the dangerous blades.
 Each year scores of players are se- verely injured by the knives fastened to the shoes of their opponents. Ty Cobb of Detroit, who has spiked more men than any other player, is earnestly desirous of baseball legislation to do away with the menace. Ordinary base ball enthusiasts find it difficult to un- derstand how an order against the use of spikes would work any hardship. The players, to be sure, would be less sure-footed, but all teams would be handicapped alike, and no one would derive any unfair advantage.
 Professional baseball is, of course, played for the edlfication of the public and depends for it's very existence upon the support of the public. There Is no doubt thaf the public is opposed to the use of spikes. Spectators at a baseball game do mot enjoy seeing maimed and Bleeding men carried from the field. They do not enjoy having their favor ite stars" incapacitated for months at a time-CBeveland Plain Dealer.

The Peanut shuek Myth.

A story started recently to the effect that in wreck on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad near Pittsburg it de- veloped that three cars were filled with Battle Creek breakfast food company. Since then floating paragraphs have been drifting through the papers rela- tive to the amusing report It is safe to say that nobody thought of taking the thing for fact There are several reasons for disbelief, the chief one be- ing that everybody eats and enjoys breakfast food of one sort or another lign it are testing. There is a kin dred tale of a fellow who being hungry at night got up in the dark and ate up a. wisp brush -mistaling it for a shredded wheat biscuit. That travelled through the papers; it made folks laugh, and we venture the guess that the shredded wheat folks laughed as hard as anybody else. If it had any attention to 1t again and stimulate dis cussion of it; that's what the adver- tiser wants.
 We have received a notice from the Battle Creek manufacturers that they believe this tale about the peanut shucks was started by so-called labor leaders out of enmity and that every body who repeats the libel will be prosecuted. Meanwhile the company has put up S5,000 to be bet against s5,000 from the Chicago federation of labor on the question whether the con- cern ever used peanut-shucks or any other trash. If the story was a spite tale, it was too cheap and funny to do any hurt. The company could better pay for it's launching than to sue for damages in it's publication.
 The cleanliness of these prepared foods and their agreeable taste as well as their convenience have given them a popularity that newspaper para graphs cannot take away Instead of hts r. shqIck sgossipers, the company might thank them for calling new attention to its desirable wares.-Hartford Cour- ant.

 q am advised" said Mir Macon, that this commission went abroad during the summer of 1907. It sailed May IS and returned September IT, and that no report of the trip has ever been published. and, in my judgment, will not be, for it seems the trip was a pleasure junket for most of the members, rather than an information gathering trip.
 'I cannot swear to these facts, be- cause I was not present. but my in formation has been received from a reliable citizen.
 T have heard that the auditor of the state department has entered a protest against a certain member of the commission for charging up a part of his exDense account, the amounts paid out by him for laundry, haircuts, shampoos. shines and auto mobile rides for pleasure on the Ap- plan way"
 He referred to Professor Jenks' work as influencing students "in the political way the party in power would have them walk"
 He declared the commissions re- port contained a mass of material that could be culIed at any time from the police courts.

THE HIGH COST OF FOOD. WHOLE MATTER TO BE PROBED American Farm Products Sold Cheap
 CT Abroad Than at Home.

Washington, Jan. 24-"I am gath ering proof which will show that Am erican farm products are being sold cheaper abroad than they are in this country" declared Secretary of Agri- culture Wilson today at the high cost of living hearing being conduct ed by a sub committee of the house committee on the District of Colum- bia.
 MT. Wilson gave evidence to show that the producer at the present time was getting a little more than for merly for his food products while the ultimate consumer was paying an eX- cessiVe price.
 Until comparatively recently, the American people enjoyed the cheapest food in the world" continued MT. Wilson. But nowadays not enough people know how to farm profitably; The lure of the factory has called the farmer from the plow."
 "The worst farming in this country is done east of the Allegheny noun tains and agricultural land is cheap est in that locality in consequence.'' .'' continued Secretary Wilson "The boys have left the farm and the scarcity of labor is now the greatest concern of the agriculturist.'
 Secretary Wilson declared that Washington was one of the most ex- pensive cities in the land and that re- tailers in this city demanded AZ per cent. profit, where in cities like New OTk ana 6H41dOelpH1d, they were COIL tent with from IT to 20 per cent.
 Conditions at the capital however. with reference to the cost of living, the secretary said, were true to a great extent of other cities. He told the committee that it had a great oppor- tunity to do a service for the whole people by ascertaining the cause of these conditions.
 Chairman Moore intimated that the whole matter of the cost of food prod ucts from producer to consumer would be gone into. Secretary Wilson was the only witness examined today.

 Who had a son,
 Who is the present Lord Nelson, who has received $25,000 a year for ST years, which with moderate interest amounts to over $1,720,000. For what? Because He had Father,
