Out of 40 sets Of kernels, thor,

tested out perfect. The balance OF the
test was by no means fair, and IN some
cases it was extremely bad. Mr.. Shep'

not to plant corn that does not test
out nearly perfect. ....

"USURPATIoN" NONSENSE

When Senator La Toilette of Wis
consin urged that, in presenting the
Canadian reciprocity agreement to Con
gress, President Taft was usurping the
functions of the Senate, every one
smiled, supposing that that was about
the limit which the Senator could reach
in his bitter triple"braced opposition
to President Taft, an opposition which
is at once public, private, aud personal.
But now Senator Cummins Of Iowa
joins in that curious claim, and gravely
presents it as grievance in behalf of
the Senate against President Taft. Sen
ator Cumn,ins does not explain. any
more than Senator La Toilette eX-
planned, how any matter involving the
relations of this country with other
countries could come before Congress
in any other way than through the

against transgressors. He believed in
enforcing the law up TO a certain point,
but beyond that point. If the thing got
very big and very warm, he shrank.
This testimony Of Mr., Earle is the
most important In its bearing upon the
action of the former administrat tion of
anything that has yet been brought
forth. The only thing comparable to it
is the case that went yet further back,
where Mr.. Gage, Secretary Of the
Treasury, was told about the sugar
frauds in underweighlng the sugar i'm
ported, and promptly transmitted the
information to President Havemeyer Of
the Sugar Trust in his simplicity, not
believing that man of Mr.. Have
meyers high character and largo busi-
ness operations would for moment
countenance such a thing as defrauding
the government revenue. 1t was a sad
case of misplaced condolences; but Sec
retary Gage made an open confession,
and people could see just how his mind
had worked. So far, however. Colonel
Roosevelt has made no open confession
as to the reasons why he shrank from
prosecuting the Sugar Trust in its plain
violations of the law in the case as
presented by Mr.. Earle to the entire
satisfaction of the Acting Attorney
General, 1t is one Of the darkest spots
yet brought to light in the very curious
and checkered career Of Colonel Roose-

ROosEvELT's "CoLD FEET"

The testimony given before the
House committee that is Investigating
the Sugar Trust, by Mr.. George H..
Earle, Jr., on Wednesday, was of a sen
sational character He claimed that he
had communicated to Col. Roosevelt,
when Roosevelt was President, the
main facts of the unlawful operations
of the Sugar Trust, with special ref
erenee to its buying up and closing the
Pennsylvania sugar refinery. But he
says President Roosevelt appeared to
have lost his taste for big game, and
showed no disposition TO enforce the
law Mr., Earle brought forth the I'M
portant fact that when the Senate
called upon President Roosevelt for in
formation on this matter, and for all
the papers relating to If, only part of
Mr. Earle S correspondence was sent in
response to that call Mr.. Earle shows
that he wrote further letters that had
never been disclosed, and that in these
letters he had set forth all the facts
showing the criminal conspiracy Of the
Sugar Trust in buying up the Penn
| sylvaDia concern, and closing it so as
TO avoid its competition and that this
conspiracy and transaction wrecked a
real estate trust company of Philadel-
phia, which had backed the Pennsyl.
vania Sugar Refining company, and was
ruined by the transaction which closed
that refinery. Mr.. Earle was receiver
for the trust company, and as such
came into possession of all the facts
! He laid them all before President
Roosevelt, it appears, but Roosevelt
did not choose to act,
I One of Mr. Earle's letters put the
matter squarely to the President that
'twhen men for peeuniary ends violate
infringing others; but when they SC
charge that the government is perse.
cutting them for making mere necessary
business arrangements, it is difficult
| to prove the untruth of their asser
| tions. - But he continued; fWhen
found case of first impression, where
there was proof of what L consider
pure viIlainy. 1 thought it my duty tc
lay il before you" This went to the
( President in due course, and a sugges
tion followed from him that Mr.. Earle
should see the Attorney General. But
the Attorney General at that time was
Mr.. William H, Moody, just appointed
a Justice Of the United States Supreme
Court; and so he took the case to As
sistant Attorney General Purdy. wht
asked for all the details, and on get
ting them jumped up and said, "We y
send them all to jail" 1t seemed tt
him a perfectly clear, straight case
; and he asked Mr.. Earle s advice as tc
the best man 10 get for assistant coun
sci in the prosecution.

1t is no wonder, therefore, that Sen,
ator Cummins was obliged to protest
that the amendments which he pro

procity measure were made In good
faith, and were not made for the pur

from the complaint which he made
against the President, a want Of good

REAPPoRTIoNMENT AGREED.

We are glad to see that the Senate
Committee on Census has agreed to re-
port the Congressional reapportionment
bill without amendment. This bill has
twice passed the House, one in the for
mer Congress, and now in the present
Congress. 1t provides for 433 mem
bers, this being forty.two above the
! present membership of the House. I'm
der this bill no State will lose any of
its representation, and u number OF
States will gain. Utah will gain one
member, Idaho will gain one, and
other States will gain different NUM-
| hers, according to their increase in
population in the decade. The greatest
gamer is New York, which will gain
six.
There is reported an opposition In
the Senate to the bill because it IN
creases the membership of the House;
but as the House is willing TO accept
that increase for itself, it is not clear
why any Senator should undertake to
impose terms upon the House different
from those which the House accepts for
itself. Senator La Toilette is repre-.
sented as being opposed to the increase
in membership, but if this increase
were not granted, his own State would
be cut down in the number Of Repre-
sentatives which 1T would send to the
House. Whether that is thing which
Wisconsin would like OF not may very
we'll be doubted; for States do not, as
rule, like TO have their membership
diminished But it is not likely that
the Senate as a whole would concur
with any proposition TO change the
membership of the House as the House
itself has voted to fix it.
The late legislature in Utah, antic;-
pating the probable passage of this
reapportionment bill. decided that in
case Utah were granted two members
of the Lower House, then both should
he elected at large, This is distinct
ly Federal bunch proposition, to hold
the double membership in its own
grasp, There should have been two dis
tricts created in the State, which could
be easily done, each to elect a member
of it's own. But this would have af-
forded chance to cripple the Federal
bunch control, and so that bunch had
both members elected at large for It's
own benefit and purposes. A district
made up of Salt Lake, Weber, Davis
and Summit would be a good compact
district. practically equal in popula
tion with the remainder of the State.
And each district would have elected
it's member from a constituency which
would have been compact, and would
have known exactly TO whom to apply
for any Congressional act or favor. AS
it will be under the double-header sys'
tenn, no one will know exactly where
to apply to get any Congressional work
done. But probably the Federal
bunch's idea is that as it expects TO
have its own way in all things, the
leadership is with Smoot and all must
bow to it.
