Common sells Rreed criminals.

Paul u. Kellogg in The Survey:
When young men awaiting trial for
trivial lapses from good order are
herded with old-time convicts and
drunken repeaters, we breed crimi-
mails, This is inevitable wherever in
our jails and workhouse blocks, two,
three, four, five prisoners and some
times more are kept in the same COM
partment. In the iron barred cells
themselves-menageries. the Euro
peans called them, used as they are
to the doored- cells of England and the
continent-they found the physical an
tithesis of the reformatorry ideals for
which American has stood. We create
with the left hand what we try to re-
form with the right. "A man can't
live above the cage" said the head of
the Irish prison system. 1.-THE only

secretary Of the Howard association
of England, sis to tear it down,"--and

the stupid, useless round of commit

terms. "Once more" said Sir Evelyn

PLACING THE BLAME.

Year after year Secretary Wilson of
the department Of agriculture revels in
the huge figures of the value of farm
products-which for 1910, he says that
nothing short of omniscience can
grasp" The figure which has got be-
yond human capacity to comprehend is
1896, 600. 000--according to his stats
tics--or $305,0OO,0OO more than in 1909.
This value has been advancing year by
year since 1899.
Some Of the secretary's conclusions
are likely to create another era Of III
viii toward the middleman.
Secretary Wilson shows that the re-
iationship between the producer and
the consumer is made far too remote.
He blames the middleman whose prov
ince 1t is to simplify the intricate ma
chinery Of liying-as it has developed
in the cities.
The middleman Is getting an unfair
amount of the profits--according to
the figures Of the secretary of agricul-
sure. II would appear that the whole

saler, the produce man and others
who are neither producers nor con-
sumers-have so developed their busi-
ness that they are the real profit max
ers. They are demanding excessive
toll from those who produce-as well
as from those who consume.
The farmer, or producer, receives an
average of only about so per cent OF
the prices demanded of consumers for
the various products of the farm
That is to say that If the housewife
could buy her butter and eggs-her
milk and her meat--her apples and her
potatoes. from the farmer and pro-
ducer-at the prices at which he is
now selling them--she could make so
cents do as much as dollar now does.
Forty cents on the dollar more than
accounts for the high price of living"
OF course. 1t is not to be expected
that so much ought to be saved. The
middleman, so long as he performs his
functions upon the basis of honest bus
iness, is entitled to his profit-and the
public could not dispense with his
services.
Secretary Wilson's figures point TO
the conclusion, however, that the pub
lie need not go far to discover why the
cost Of living has been so exorbitantly
advanced. The solution lies In some
means OF checking the sharp practices
and concerted high-handedness of
those who buy and sell.

WHERE THE FARMER COMES IN

In his message to congress Presi-
dent Taft had one paragraph that
must appeal to every agriculturalist in
this broad land and especially to every
grain grower in North Dakota. He
said:
FARMERS INCOME AND COST
OF LIVING-An interesting review Of
the results Of an examination made by
the department into statistics and
prices, shows that on an average since
1891, farm products have increased in
value 70 per cent while the things
which the farmer buys for use have
increased but IL per cent, an indication
that the present conditions are favor
able to the farming community"
In view Of these facts it is scarcely
comprehensive how farmers could
turn democratic. These are the &C
complishments under republican ad-
ministrations.
An administration that increased the
value of farm products u per cent
while the price Of those things which
the farmers buy was increased on an
average of only IL per cent should be
satisfying.
In the cost Of living there is a net
gain--to the farmers-of 60 per cent
over the conditions OF less than a score
OF years ago.
That looks like progress-republi-
can progress.
II seems such a policy should have
ths support of the farmers Of the
country.
In some states-despite these gains
, the farmers went democratic. North
Dakota did not-excspt on the govern
orship. The state wisely retained
republican membership in both
branches OF congress.
1t seems strange the agricultural
fists in any state. however, would turn
toward the democratic organization
which seeks to undo what the republi-
cans have done for them.
In the first place the democrats
would take away protective duties. In
the second place they would-by SO
discouraging home notwithstanding
about business stagnation.
In all his addresses in this state last
fall Senator McCumber endeavored to
impress upon the farmers the fact that
in the near future the issue would be
whether or not food products Of this
country would be protected.
IL protection does not aid the farm
er why is it that the people in all the
big eastern centers are demanding that
protection be taken off food products?
