ERA OF COOP FEELING.
MuckrskInR OF Today mia Compared
with Old Times.


New York World
Former President Fairbanks told the
convention Of Advertising Clubs OF America
that "one OF the marked features Of recent
years has been the indiscriminate abuse Of
men in public position Mr. Fairbanks
would have been rearer the truth u he has
said that one OF the marked features Of
recent years had been the lessening OF In
discriminate abuse OF men in public posi-
tions
There has been no other period in the
history OF the country when public men
were handled more gently by their politi-
cal opponents. Whoever doubts II is invited
TO read what the antl-federalists said
about Washington and Hamilton, what the
federalists said about jefferson, what the
friends Of Clay said about Jackson and
what the Jacksonltes said about Clay, what
the abolitionists said about Webster what
the slavery men and abolitionists said
about Lincoln, what the democrats said
about Grant, what the republicans said
about Cleveland
More venom dripped from John Ran
dolphs tongue in five minutes than could
be squeezed from all the undertaking
magazines in year. Compared with some
of Thad Stevens speeches, the harshest
words now uttered In public against any
eminent American office-holder would seem
complmentary-almo flattering.
This is really an era OF good feeling and
in-skinned statesmen, disturbed only by
an occasional moan from the lips Of Uncle
Joe Cannon and John DRlzell.

the Postoffice department From all
indications that department is working
along lines calculated to increase eff
ficiency, while reducing expenses, and
IL can be relied on to readjust the
rural mail system, II it requires read
justment, without inflicting any hard
ships on anybody or upon the govern
ment.
This protestant cites the fact that
the rural mail carriers are underpaid,
and that most OF them could make
more money in other lines OF business.
or course, IL that be true, then, so far
as they are concerned, whatever in
justice would come from such an ar
rangement could not affect them. But
he is at least partly wrong in this also.
The wages of these men is not high,
that is true, but the system affords
employment to many a man, many an
old soldiers, who could not improve on
his lot were the government to relieve
him of his present employment
These rural mail carriers are faith
full employees, for the excellence of the
service could scarcely obtain without
their efficiency. The people have de-
rived too much benefit from this serv-
ice to do anything to impair it, and
while its conduct 80 far has been more
or less experimental, what changes
will be made will certainly be for the
improvement of the service and the
accommodation of it's patrons, and not
to make patronage for congressman to
distribute.

GROOMING WILSON FoR 1912.
PrincetOn's President in n Receptive
Attitude.

PrincetOn's President in a Receptive
Attitude.
Philadelphia Bulletin.
DR.. Woodrow Wilson, president of Prince
ton university. makes it plain that he will
be willing to stand, In a purely receptive
sense, as a candidate for the democratic
nomination for the governorship of New
Jersey. There has been talk of Wilson as
a gubernatoriaI possibility for some months,
just as there was talk at one time Of put
ting up Grover Cleveland. then a resident
of Princeton for the post.
Cleveland, however, had received the
highest possible political honors, whereas
Wilson Is yet to begin his career as q
public office holder. Coincident with the
talk of Wilson for governor there has also
been mention of his name for the democra-
tic presidential nomination In 1912. 1t is
conceivable that the real meaning of the
maneuvers Of the democratic leaders is to
utilize the governors chair at Trenton as
a stepping stone to the presidential chair
at Washington.
DR.. Wilson is only "a years old. A Vir-
ginian by birth, he has lived in New Jersey
for ten years. He has qualified In and
practlced law He is an authority in juris-
prudence political economy and history In
some respects his writings on the Ameri-
can form of government may be lIkened
to those of James Bryce. His chief asset
as a possible candidate perhaps, is his ex-
IRENE democracy; a characteristic which
has been notable throughout his career az
administrator at Princeton.
There are two live factors on the dem
ocratlc side, however, which should not be
overlooked. These are former Senator
Jim" Smith, jr., OF Essex and Bob" Da-
Wis OF Hudson, Between them they con-
troll large portion Of the democratic vote
OF the two most populous counties OF the
state. At the last gubernatorial election,
when Fort was chosen by a plurality OF
only 5000. 1t was charged that the defec-
ton OF the Davis following in Hudson gave
victory TO the republicans. Exactly where
Smith and Davis stand with regard TO viii
son Is not yet clear. II the nomination
should be offered to him, his friends will
be wise to make certain that the two North
Jersey leaders are with him in deed as we'll
as in word.

BIG CORN CROP IN SIGHT.
Estimated Yield beyond Three Bill
lion Bushels.

hHttmhtcu Ateld beyond Three Bill
lion Bushels.
st. Paul Pioneer Press.
While there is no denying that II the
wheat crop will be short in some districts
there seems every reason TO expect more
than compenseting increase in the size
of the country's corn crop. The present in
dicstions are, according TO the Commercial
Times Of Chicago, that the American
farmer will produce ALEC, 100000 bushels Of
corn, or 2300OO,OOO bushels more than the
bumper total recorded in 1906. The average
in corn this season is such that, under
ideal conditions, 1t might yield $500, 600 0OO
bushels But 1t is not expected that all the
fields will do the best that is possible.
There probably will be the usual number
of setbacks, and. making allowances for
those, the result should be a crop of about
$3.50 100000 bushels, unless the government
crop observers are making serious mis-
takes.
AS II is figured that so per cent Of the
corn goes to make meat, the Importance
to everybody Of a bumper crop is ap-
parent. big crop of maize, particularly
during season when the wheat yield is
not up to expectations, means a good sup
ply Of beef and pork, and that should mean
moderate prices The prosperity that a big
crop of corn will bring to the raisers Will
be shared by all In the country It will In
q measure make up to the wheat farmer
for the damage done by the dry, hot wea-
Their.
