A Wisconsin Prophecy

In June, 1873, according TO the Phil.
adelphia North Americans. Edward j
Ryan, chief justice OF the supreme
court of Wisconsin,, gave this pro-
phelic warning TO the graduating class
Of the University of Wisconsin,:
"rhefe is looming up a new and
dark power. | cannot dwell upon the
signs and shocking omens of its adj
vent. The accumulation Of individual
wealth seems TO be greater than it
ever has been since the downfall OF the
Rotnan empire. The enterprises OF the
country are aggregating vast corpor-
ate combinations of uncxnmpled cap
ital, boldly marching, not for economic
conquests only, but for political power.
We see their colors, we hear their
trumpets, we distinguish the sound OF
preparation in their camps.
"For the first time in our politics,
money is taking the field as an or
ganized power. 1t is INSCRIPTIONS, ar.
rogant and overbeariug. Already here
at home, one great corporation has trl-
fled with the sovereign power and In
suited the state. There Is grave fear
that 1t and It's great rival have con-
federated to make partition OF the
state and share il as spoils.
"Wealth has its rights. Industrious
wealth has its honors. This il Is the
duty Of the law TO assert and protect,
though wealth has great rover Of self
protection and influence beyond the
limits of integrity. But money as
political influence is essentially cor
rupt; it is one Of the most dangerous to
free institutions; by far the most dan
gerous TO the free and just administra-
ton Of the law. 1t is entitled TO fear If
not TO respect.
"rhe question Will arise, and arise
in your day, though perhaps not fully
in mine: (which shall rule, wealth or
man; which shall lead, money or in
tellect; who. shall fiji public station,
educated aud patriotic freeman or the
feudal serfs of corporate capital?n

Scotty's Ukass

In an interview at Wheeling few
days ago Ex-senator n. b. Scott, the
Washington Banker, who is now Pres.
ldent of the United States Trust Com
pany OF Washington, gave it rs his
opinion that the Republic ~ State
Committee would not be reorganized.
AS he is in pretty close touch with the
councils Of tie leaders-Denham,
Highland, Dawson, Doyle, Woody
Whyte lit il reasonable to assume thot
he spoke with some authority.
But it is not only reasonable TO as
sumo that he spoke with some author
ity bat that he spoke his own wishes.
With the present Republican decem-
virate in control Of the party Senator
Scott will be that much more certain
of retaining his own grip upon the
party. Without that grip he could
hardly maintain his position as Ma
tional Comm 'tteemau and referee in
all matters Of appointments. Aud Of
course just SO long as he is National
Committeeman just 80 long will he be
able to dictate to very large extent
to The Republicans of West Virginia.
Sherman Denham, postmaster at
Clarksburg and prominent member
of the'State Committee is very close to
Hitchcock. In return for delivering
the State to Taft Denham is retained
as postmaster at Clarksburg. Dump
Denham land how would ii be possible
for Taft to maintain control Of the
State through the committee. The con-
neetion between Taft and the old State
Committee will be perfectly obvious
then. We predict that the State Com
mittee will not be reorganized because
Taft does not wish it and venturing
guess that Is the reason for the recent
meeting at Washington attended by
Collector of Revenue Work, state

Apple Growing Not Overdone.

There is no more danger of over pro-
ductlon of high grade commercial APP
pies in the United States and Canada
than there is of American hen laying
more eggs than can be marketed, ac-
cording to Prof. E. f.. FavilIe, of Spo-
kane, Washington, who has made an
exhaustive study of crop and market
conditions in the principal apple belts
of this continent.
We frequently hear the remark that
the planting of fruit trees is being
overdone in the Pacific slope and inter-
mountain country and that before
long apples will be glut on the mar
ket,n Prof. Faville continued. Seer
tainly this is most erroneous, especial
ly from the standpoint of demand,
production and the increase in popu-
lation.
"Reports of the Department of Ag-
riculture show that IN the face of rap
idly increasing demand, owing to the
growth in population, the annual pro-
duction of apples in the United States,
actually decreased more than l3S,000,-
600 bushels between 1896 and 1908,
during which period our population
was increased by fully l2,000,000.
"For example, take 1908, with l2,000,-
600 more persons to feed and 13S,000,-
900 bushels less of apples to feed them.
We are brought at once TO the tremen-
dous Importance OF this economic fact,
and also to the fallacy of the statement
that fruit growing is being overdone.
This decrease is largely due to the
fact that so many of the old orchards
IN the east having been badly infested
with fruit pests, and in addition have
been out. Thousands upon thousands
of acres are annually abandoned to the
ravages of the woolly aphis, 1.-The codling
moth and the San Jose scale, as well as
the inroads mpde annually by dam
aging frost.
"Farme~s in the middle west were
setting orchards twenty years ago with
as much zeal as the growers in the
northwest are planting today. The his
tory of the orchards planted in the
middle west shows that in few years
after coming into bearing insect lpests
and plant disease eliminated many of
these orchards, and thousands of ,res
of apple orchards were removed by the
axe.
"Many will ask: What about the fu-
ture of the hundreds of acres OF fruit
land that are being planted yearly I'D
the favored fruit districts of the north
west? The reply is: The same forces
that have worked formerly to reduce
the orchards of the central west
through the work of non-progfessive
orchardists and Improbable orchards
is certain to work in the future as IN
the past. But if the fruit grower mas
good orchard land and is willing 10
give his orchard the care that 1t de-
mands he cannot fail
"Ihe demand for first class 1ruit Is
growing, and in the years 10 1oiio"
this demand will bring as good, II not
higher market prices than today. MY
advice is to plant more fruie trees on
good orchard land and stay 10y the
proposition.
