staples will neeessitate a lowering OF
prices. The theory is not an alto
.gether mistaken one; but there can
not be much hope for permanent re-
lief from such measures. The COM
plant is general that prices to con-
sumers are not regulated by the nat,

but are held to fictitious values by
combinations and understandings, "
through which the large factors in
food supplies fix not only the selling
price to the consumer but the buying
price for the original produce If
this is true-and there is certainly
basis for the belief-those in control
of the market are as we'll able to pro-
tect themselves with decreasing pur-
chasing demand as with normal one.
The principal effect of a boycott is
most likely to be temporary curtail-
ment OF retail business, and perhaps
of the activities of the packers and
middlemen. The latter possibility,
affecting employment, has already
brought protests from labor unions.
The inquiries set on foot by Illinois,
Missouri, Wisconsin, Iowa. Nebraska
and Michigan. and by congress and
the agriculture department, should dis
cover the real causes Of abnormal
prices Suitable executive and legis-
lative action ought then to follow,
and may have permanently beneficial
results. But the chief service of the
meat boycott, outside of keeping alive
a justifeable agitation. will be in ac-
quainting many families with the fact

The greatest speech Mr. Bryan ever
delivered was made in Havana last
week. Among other things the speak
er said:
Resort to violence is always de-
plorable, and will, l think, become less
frequent as civilization advances. AS
man rises in intelligence and morals
reason will more and more be sub
stituted for force and violence in the
settlement of difficulties. The day
will come when the world will see the
folly of the doctrine that you can just
ly settle a difference of opinion by
shooting a man who may differ with
you. There is growing acceptance
of representative government, and a
fundamental doctrine Of representa-
tive government is acquiescence in
the will of the majority. That was the
doctrine taught by Jefferson. the great
est exponent of representative gov
ernment who ever lived, and 1t is nee
essary to the existence of all re-
publics You will recognize my right
to emphasize this doctrine. for | have

The Ewes az n Bee.

Every bee has two kinds Of eyes
the two large compound ones looking
like hemispberes OH either side. and
the three simple ones which crown the
top Of his head. Each compound eye
Is composed Of $500 facets-that is to
say. an object Is reflected $500 times
on its surface Every one Of these
facets Is the base Of an inverted hex
agonal pyramid whose apex is fitted
to the head. Each pyramid may he
termed an eye. for each has its own
iris and optic nerve. How these in
sects manage this marvellous number
Of eyes Is not yet known. They are
immOvable. but mobility Is unnecessary
because Of the range Of vision afford
ed by the position and the number Of
facets. They have no lids. but are
protected from dust and injury by
rows Of hairs growing along the lines
at the functions Of the facets The
simple eyes are supposed to have been
given the bee to enable 1t to see above
fits head when intent upon gathering
honey from the cups Ct flowers. Prob
ably this may be one reason. but It IS
likely there are other uses for them

PROSPEROUS UNCLE SAM.

PROSPEROUS UNCLE SAM.
Like the railroads and the great
industrial corporations and like the
vast majority of small business con.
Germs, the federal government is en-.
joying q great increase in income and
is finding it much easier to keep its
outgo down nearly to the limits of its
receipts. There is fair chance that
the balance will soon be on the right
side. The growth of the national re.
venues is many sided. 1t is greatest
in the customs receipts, but it is large
in internal taxes, especially on spiritu-
Gus liquors. There is a remarkable
gain, likewise in postoffice income.
The indications are that the fiscal
year which ends with June will close
with only small deficit by COMPARE
son with the figures of the preceding
year. The actual difference between
revenues and expenditures may be re-
duced almost to nothing. At the end
Of March it was only about $4,000.
600. and there had been large sur.
plus for that month. As for the post
Office department, at the end of the
first half of the fiscal year there was a
deficit of little more than 81, 600, 900
in the corresponding part of the pre-
vious fiscal year. The second quarter
had shown a good surplus, and the end
of the year may find the receipts and
expenses Of the department nearly
balanced.-Cleveland Leader.

LAW AND RISING RATES

The railroads of the country, espe.
cially those of the trunk line system,
are certain before long to turn to an
advance in freight rates to increase re-
venue.
Their current supplies and equip
ment are both higher. They have
been forced to advance wages from 6
to 10 per cent. The efficiency oflabor
has not increased. No fewer employ.
Is are needed. Heavy issues of shares
and bonds have added to the demands
for dividends and to fixed charges.
Almost every thing else is being ad-
vanced, and it is natural for railroads
to expect railroad freight rates to rise
also.
But under the Hepburn act a rail-
road must justify each advance it
makes before the interstate commerce
commission first and the circuit court
or the new commerce court, if it is pre-
vided, afterward. A common carrier
cannot advance charges because other
things have advanced. 1t must prove
thatits own business required for rea-
sonable return on its capital, measured
by all the conditions, taking into &C
count among them its own dividends in
the past and fixed charges require

PROFESSIONAL GREED.

Clifford w. Hartrldge, the New
York attorney, evidently over-reached
in his effort to pot large segment Of
the Thaw estate. When there is a
good fortune in reach, it appears that
sometimes the best lawyers may cross
the boundaries.
Hartridge sued the Thaws for s92,.
600, after having already received
So, 900 for his services in the murder
trial. He has been defeated by a jury
and dragged over the Goals by Judge
Holt, who presided at the trial. In
fact, he faces the penalties of perjury
and the possibility Of disbarment.
In proving the justice ofhis extraor-
binary demands, Hartridge testified
that he paid large sums to silence
about 200 young women who might
have appeared as witnesses at the
murder trial. In this, the court, re-
ferring the affair to the district attor.
Dey, says the lawyer appears to have
incriminated himself by obstructing
justice. The only way out of this
dilemma is to admit he falsiied in his
testimony Of hush money, and ahead of
him here stands a perjury charge.
Either course opens him to the shame
of professional misconduct.

seems to be the motto of most lawyers.
