TAFT ON TAFTISM.

Following in the magazine grooves
of his illustrious predecessor, Mr..
Taft presents in the current Nc
Cures" defense of his administra-
ton thus far. His apology for sign
ing the tariff bill now has more de-
fant tone than in his accents at
Winona, for evidently the earlier de-
fusion has become profounder in time
as streams their channels deeper
wear. 1t was the best he could
compel Congress to pass and he would
not hold up business by interposing
Veto Adroitly as the lawyer
acts, he would show his fairness by
confessing that the wooden schedules
were raised through a combination
of growers and textile manufacturers.
Along with this sugar coating he
would insert the main error of the
Payne-Aldrich law eFecting some
downward revision, and of its not be-
ing at all responsible for the prevail
ent high prices.
1t appears that he regards this as
his triumphant and grand climacteric
'stOckdologer'' on the high price
question:
When the luxuries-such as Ii
quor, perfumeries, and silks-are sub
tracted the necessities of life, upon
which rates are lowered in this Payne
bill, are consumed by this country to
the extent of s., 900, 900, 900 year !;
while those upon which the rates are
raised have consumption of only

BACK TO THE FARM"

Clarksburg, W. Va, May eS.-
So much interest was aroused in the
Back to the Farm" movement
among the large number of farmers
and other citizens attending the big
agricultural rally here today at the
court house and the meeting was so
successful that Governor Glasscock
and the committee of prominent
West Virginians promoting the move
ment have decided to hold like meet
ings in every Congressional district
of the state.
1t was declared that the best way
of meeting the high cost of living
problem is to raise more food pro-
ducts in the state.
Resolutions were unanimously
passed advocating the inclusion of
agricultural studies in the common
schools and the establishment of
agricultural high schools throughout
the state.

THE TRAIL OF THE SERPENT.

All persons who have followed the
proceedings of the Ballinger investi-
eating committee must have been
struck with the signifcane ofthe fact
that the moment the trail led d.
rectly into the banking house of j.
p. Morgan&co., the investigation
closed abruptly.
Secretary Ballinger failed to go on
the stand to explain the letters he
wrote to George W. Perkins, J. P.
Morgan's partner, or those to En-
gineer Thompson, of Seattle, re-
lating to the explOitation''-to use
Ballinger's own candid, cold term
of Alaska by the Morgan Guggen-
helm syndicate. The charges OF
Kerby, the stepograpber, that Ball
niger made mis-statements while a
witness, were allowed to 60 unchal-
lenged. Ballinger was content to
have the case closed without any at
tempt to refute the damaging dis
closures, rather than have the probe
sunk any deeper into the relations Of
the interior department with the
house of J. P. Morgan. Can any
sane, unprejudiced observer draw any
other inference than that the revela-
tons that might come if the inquiry
were continued would be even more
dau aging to Mr.. Taft's administrati-
on than those heretofore brought to
Light
Already, following close upon the
end of the Ballinger inquiry, another
Alaskan scandal IS unveiled. The
senate committee on judiciary, hold
ing sessions behind closed doors, Is
hearing the evidence in charges ola
serious nature in which Governor
Clark, of Alaska, Republican Nation
al Committeeman Shackleford and
the Morgan-Guggenheim interests
are involved. The Morgan-Gugsen-
helm serpent has evidently spread its
Shiny trail all over the Taft admin
istration and the worst revelations are
yet to come.

REVOLUTION IMPENDING.

The burning words of Champ
Clark, from his place in the House,
and the straightforward arguments
of Eugene y. Foss, from his place in
the same hall, short time ago,
both in denunciation of the Payne
Aldrich tariff, have sent a SILVER
down the spinal columns of the ben
efciaries of that grand-larceny piece
of legislation.
Mr.. Foss is New England manu-
facturer, who, until recently, has
been Republican, but who, after
careful study of the subject, under
went complete change of view on
tariff policy. A vacancy by the
death of the Republican member
who represented his district in Con-
gresS required special election, and
the Democrats nominated Mr.. Foss
for the place. The result of the
election showed phenomenal revo-
luton in politics. In a former hot
bed of tariff protection, the Demo-
Gratis made gain of over 1000
votes above the result in the last
congressional election. Mr.. Foss
still calls for protection; but this
time it is for protection against a
tariff. From this time on Massa-
chusetts may be placed in the
columns of anti-sariff states. And
it is not impossible that four other
New England states will also this
fall 90 over, Aldrich to the contrary,
notwithstanding.

would be one source accounting for
almost the entire amount? Mark that
he carefully refers to consumption
of necessities. No such total can re-
late to imports, upon which tariffs
rest, for the whole value of imports
but little exceeds 500, ooo, 900. The
remaining 81, 900, 900, 900 of neces-
sites" consumed must be mainly
foOd-stuHs, of which surplus is rails
ed and exported, and hence tariff
coverings" upon them become
merely the devices of campaign bun
coers. 1t may be democratic for a
President thus to enter the public
prints, but at least there rests upon
his high Office the obligation TO an
alyze his statistics and not too cheer
fully to accept those manufactured by
the standpat bureau run in the treas
ury department.-Pittsburg Post.

CHAMP CLARK Democratic leader of
the house, puts fair challenge
squarely up to President Taft. In
his speeches the president has ad-
mitted that the tariff on wooden goods
should be reduced, but pleads that
such reform cannot be undertaken
without opening up the whole ques-
ton of tariff revision again. The
minority leader answers this specious
plea by telling the president to send
special message to congress de-
handing a reduction in the wooden
schedule, and if Chairman Payne will
report the bill the Democrats will
offer no amendments. If Mr.. Taft
sincerely desires to give the Ameri-
can people cheaper clothing at once,
here is his opportunity. Willie take
advantage of it;

lenges President Taft, if you don t
believe the Aldrich bill is one of the
best tariff laws ever passed. " And on
examination we find that all these
crying needs of the common pee-puI
are admitted free: joss sticks,
bladders, dried blood and horse hair
birds eggs, lemon juice, turtles and
junk; bones, acorns, ashes and cat
gut; fossils, Brazilian pebbles and
oakum. But, with this gorgeous
menu to choose from, the common
pee-pul are still grouchy.

UNCLE JIN'S WARNING.

Uncle Jim Wilson, who is at the
head of the department of agricult-
ure, has been talking again about
the back to the SOIL movement.
1t meets with his hearty appreciation
as a matter of course, and he advo-
Gates more farming and better meth
DDS of farming in order to increase
productiveness of given area, and
also to increase the area of product
iveness; but he warns the people
that no man can make success of
farming unless he knows something
about it.
Two things are necessary, he says,
practical experience and capital.
The city man who goes to the farm
without knowledge and money will
starve. He will be a consumer, and
not producer.
The point is that farming is not a
simple matter of sowing the seed
harvesting the crops. The man who
expects to succeed in agriculture pur-
suits must fit himself as carefully and
as thoroughly as the business or pro-
fesSional man. He must know some
thing about the soil, about the wealth
er, about irrigation, about treatment
of the growing fruit and grain and
vegetables, and about the markets.
He must know a thousand things
which the average city man does not
know, and which he can only ac-
quire through special training or ex-
perience.-Wheeing Register.

RIGHT AND WRONG USES OF STORAGE.

Apropos of the public demand for
legislation limiting the time that pro-
vision supplies shall be held in cold
storage an item from recent repor.
on the number of eggs contained in
IS out of the SO united warehouses
in and around New York City is ex-
ceedingly important in its bearing
upon that question.
The charge has been made for
months past that the cold-storage
plants of the country have been used
for the purpose not only of reservoirs
to preserve articles for public use,
but as storage warehouses to hold
articles withdrawn from the markets
to produce corners" or scarcity Of
food supplies and to keep up prices
far above those that would obtain
through free operation of the law Of
supply and demand.
1t islegitimate to use them as reser-
yoirs in times of excess supply in or
der to preserve the surplus to period
when the current supply does not
meet the current demand.
To their use for such a purpose
there can be no valid objection, but,
on the contrary, it should receive the
approval and support of all classes of
the community.
A reasonable profit should accrue
to the owners and to the patrons who
through the use of the storage in this
manner serve the communities well
and efficiently.
But when the contents of these
warehouses are withdrawn from the
markets desisnedly to produce scare
it, and to enable the dealers who
store the provisions to monopolize
products or arbitrarily to FIX exorbi-
tant prices, then the limits of equity
are passed, and those who use them
for such purposes are inaictingi jury
upon the public.
The report alluded to shows that
in these eS warehouses at the same
date in 1909 there were stored 615,-
900 cases of eggs, each case holding
80 dozens, while in the present year
there are stored in these same ware
houses l,lI9,0oo cases containing
each the same number of eggs.
This shows that the number Of
eggs now in storage in these ware
houses is nearly double the number
of one year ago, and yet for months
past the people all over the country
have had to pay largely advanced
prices.
1t is true it is claimed they are
stored for next winters use, but the
very fact that such tremendous in
crease in storage has been accompa-
MED by such high prices during the
past year shows conclusively that
legislation compelling sales of food
products within reasonable period
of time would protect the public
from manipulators for private gain

BRYAN'S MEASURE.

a question that would be tragic in
tone if it were not decidedly humor-
Gus in suggestion, and that would
overflow with pathos if it were not
chock full of material for mirth, is
addressed to Governor Judson Har-
mon in today's number of the Com
mcner by Hon. William ]. Bryan :
Are you ready to have your
measure taken;"
Without waiting for Governor
Harmon's reply, we venture the un-
official conjecture that the Demo-
cratic Governor of Ohio is, in fact,
getting ready to have his measure
taken. That is to say, we believe
from various indications that he and
many of his friends and admirers, in
Guiding the observant Mayor of this
town, are awake to the possibility
that the Democratic national con-
yention IN the early summer of 1919,
may nominate him for President of
the United States, and that the
Hon. Judson Harmon may conse-
quently become the subject of meas
urement early in November of that
same year.
We advise Governor Harmon to
respond to the soIemnly uttered
challenge from Lincoln. Mr.. Bryan
has the right to know, he himself
having been measured in the sense
aforesaid not less than thrice, as fol-
lows:
