One Roorback Fails.

Democratic orators who persist
in rearing on their hind legs, paw
ing the air with their front hoofs
and blaming the new tariff bill for
increased cost of living are having
a difficult time. Their ''dope"
machine scarcely gets into running
order before they bump into an un-
compromising fact and forthwith
the "beans are spilled"
For instance, the American Con-
sul-General in Canada has furnish.
ed government officials in Washing
ton with advance proof sheets of
report compiled by the Canadian
Department of Labor bearing on
the same subject which has been
agltating citizens of the United
States. Information gathered
shows rents in Canadian cities have
advanced 10 per cent in ten years
and prices of foodstutfs have been
correspondingly increased.
Aside from enjoying all tile
much .touted benefits of free trade
with England, Canada has had no
tariff revision in ten years which
offers the slightest excuse for plac-
ing blame for higher prices on Gus
toms duties.
If the Democrats were wise in
their generation they would realize
that something more than local or
even national factors is back of the
almost universal boost in food val
ues.
! Desperate desire for something
/ remotely resembling an issue has
blinded Democratic leaders to
common sense views Of the sub.
iects. Voters DO their own think
ing. however, and the tariff argu'
ment is going to prove one OF the
worst roorbacks ever launched by
an American political party

Mr.. Roosevelt is coming back to
the world after year spent III the
jungles of Africa, and newspaper
correspondents have rushed up the
Nile, on specially chartered steam
boats, to the outposts of civiliza-
ton to meet him, and learn from
him personally how he has stood
the trip. what he thinks of matters
generally and what he intends to
do in the future. Aud yet Mr..
Roosevelt is only a private Ameri-
can citizen. Are the newspapers
keeping up this interest in MIR.
Roosevelt, or is MIR. Roosevelts
singular personality keeping up
the interest of the newspapers!
The latter proposition is probably
the nearest to the truth. Roose
welt is a man who does things that
lay hold upon the imagination Of
the people. He rises above the
ordinary and makes himself a per
sonality that wins public approval
and affection. President Lincoln
was snch a man also. and so was
General Grant. Mr.. Roosevelt
will probably never be candidate
for the presidency again, but his
hold upon popular affection is Sc

The domestic scandals that are
becoming so frequent in our pluto
cratic class are so shameful that
no matter how immoral member
of the common people" may be
he may be looked upon as fairly
decent when compared with the
immoral plute. The latter put
forth as one of the strongest argu-
ments against the adoption of Soc
ialistic institutions that it would
break up the home. The home is
very sacred to our over rich! An
other unpleasant feature about
these outbreaks of indecency in the
upper ranks of society is, that the
woman involved in the case is US
ually sought by theatrical mana
gers to trade upon her unsavory
notoriety by appearing on the
stage.

the process is carried farther than
this, and that capitalization not
only extends over the earning ca
pacity of such industries, but is
made to cover the ability of the
masses to pay. In other words,
modern industry capitalizes the
wealth producing ability Of the
people, and all this wealth beyond
what is required for the mainten-
ence of the workers goes to swell
the dividends of industrial stocks.
The process is simple and CON-
plete. 1t also explains the rise in
the cost of living, for, the earning
power of the people being capital
lied, there must be continuous
rise in the cost of the products Of
industry to keep pace with the de-
mand for interest earnings upon
that capitalization.

seed. No man has had better op
portnnity to know this than ths
senior senator of Missouri. HI
has had the late opportunity of ac'
quiring such information. The
shipment of garden seed may be
an ironical suggestion that there
are better things TO raise than the
governor recently raised with the
senator and which the senator, for
merly and frequently, raised with
others, inside and outside of bis
party.
If the seed package carries a
hint to the governor to remember
F., that he is still only constituent of
the senator, and as such has his
name written on the garden seed
scrolls at Washington, let it be re-
membered that, during the recent
raising of something not in the
spring seed catalogues, the COVER
nor challenged the senator to re-
sign and come back to Missouri to
stand against him for the Senate.
1t was An open course for the sen
ator 10 take. 1t was such course
as Conkling and Platt took in New
York in 1881. Ii may have been
bis recollection of the fate which
overlook those two aspiring states
men at that time which gave the
Stone mind pause. At any rate
he waived the point raised and now
sends the governor package of
garden seeds by way of a reminder
that Stone is still senator and will
remain one as long as he can. The
further and obvious inference, that
HadIey, as a constituent of Stone,
will not be overlooked Oh account
of past differences, would be more
diplomatic if it were less pointed.
The squeak of the guIpshoe is a
little too raucious.
Under the old Bourbon inter
probation of senatorial dignities,
Mr.. HadIey Is not a constituent of
Mr.. .;Stone. None of us is. Under
that Interpretation, senator was
the ambassador at Washington OF
a sovereign state. The shipping
of garden seed was not then u part
of senatorial duty, or even poll
tics. Under such an Interpretation
Mr.. Hadley can no more expect
garden seeds of Ambassador Stone
at Washington than he can expect
weiner- r-wursts from Ambassador
kerens at Vienna. The incident is
refreshing if ii shows that Bour-
bons are forgetting their Bourbon
ism and growing in their sense Of
responsibility to their constituents.

THE BRILLIANT FOREIGNER
TELLS Of HIS VISIT TO
THIS VALLEY

ever it is considered necessary
A good deal of land is sowed to al
falfa (luzern), which always gives n
good yield and good prices, always
cutting three and sometimes four cut
tings in the season. Afterwards this
alfalfa is plowed under and enriches
the soil.
The land between the young trees
is used for raising grain, potatoes,
beets, melons or vegetables. The
growth of the trees is so strong and
healthy that apples and pears will
commence to bear in five years, and
often in seven or eight years yield n
full crop, bringing from $500 to $500
per acre and oftentimes more, accord
ing to the fruit raised. Nearly every

The packing and sorting are most

and pears are packed in boxes con-
tanning one-half bushel Ia little more
than one-half hectoliter). They are
pressed in tight, SO that the fruit
cannot roll around and get bruised.
There are only a few different va

orchards. Apples are mostly Rome

In the last few years the Grand

ness. To overcome this they looked
around for something to prevent the

They raised the temperature from Z
to 10 degrees. To be sure and light
the pots at the right time, they
placed thermometers in different
parts of the orchard, and close to the
house an electric apparatus which
could be set so that a bell would
ring in the house any time the tenn

to get his men out of bed and to

the results being very satisfactory
and warranting the expense. Where
there was no heating (smudging)
done there was no fruit.

When l. on my trip through the
United States of North America, came
to Colorado Springs, my attention was
called to the Grand valley by the
great boost that was made for that
part of the state; therefore. l decid-
ed to visit the valley after my trip
to the Yellowstone park in the north
west part of Wyoming.
/ arrived in Grand Junction (the
principal city of the valley, on the
west slope of the Rocky mountains)
on August 16, 1903. In the hotel
there | was informed that there was
in Grand Junction fruit growers
association. / went there, and the
manager informed me that the asso-
citation was called the Grand juno
ton Fruit Growers Association. 1t
is a corporation that furnishes the
growers, at the lowest price, with
tools and other necessities needed in
their business and to sell their pro-
ducts on the different markets at the
best prices to be obtained, charging
the growers a commission of per
cent for handling those goods.
The management of the association
is very particular about the fruit,
and sees to 1t that it is of tirst-class
quality. well sorted and packed; and,
for this reason, the Grand Valley
fruit has, in a few years, made a
name for itself in all parts of the
United States and even in Europe
At the bureau of information they
told me there was no time or money
spared to advertise the valley and
bring it before the eyes of investors
and homeseekers, For that purpose
they give out booklets describing the
soil, tho really very nice climate of

ing Grand valley. Colorado is often
