Uncle Sam could nip industrial
panics in the bud by simply say
ing, go right on working, boys, I'll
see that you get your wages by
taking charge of the business my
self. Of course this will not
happen, for it is better to have
panics and hard times than to
let your Uncle Samuel interfere
with private industrial enter
prise, which never looks any
farther than the profits. But we
feel sure a few more panicS will
teach the people to find the right
road out of such trouble.

The Right to Crificise.

We fear there is a lack of true
impressiveness in the arguments
advanced in st. Louis recently
by Chief Justice Alonzo K. Wick
ers of the Supreme Court of Hi
nOiS.
Judge Vickers complains that
"a class of newspapers" are SOW
ing the seeds of anarchy; and
celebrating this theory he de-
clared that these newspapers in
dulge in criticisms of the courts,
these criticisms being based on
what they are pleased to call a
commonsense view of a subject.
It must be admitted that one
of the imperative duties of 8
newspaper is to uphold the law
but this does not handicap the
press in criticising those laws
which do not operate toward the
ends of justice.
Any reference to the exercist
of common sense, advanced in
contemptuous spirit, falls shor
of the mark. The basis of al
expert making is common
sense-though this fact is Otter
difficult enough to trace in th'
work of those who make the laws

President Taft has commuted
the sentence of Fred D. Warren,
the Socialist editor of the Appeal
to Reason, and has reduced his
fine to 500. Warren was indict-
ed and convicted in the federal
courts for having deposited IL
legal matter in the mails, and af-
ter having had the case drag
through the courts for several
years, he was finally sentenced
to six months in Jail and fined
81 900. Warren, however, did
not want any remission of his
sentence and intended to serve
his time in Jail with as much
spectacular effect as possible,
posing as a martyr of political
persecution. But perhaps he
can get as much calcium effect
from the notion that he scared
the President into interfering in
the sentence.

Missouri Farm Values.


nently in the census figures of
the value of farm lands in Illinois
and Missouri. One of these is
that of the tremendous increase
in acreage value-over 100 per
cent-in both states. The other
is the fact that Illinois lands are
given a value twice that of Mis-
souri, lands, per acre.
The first of these is a nation
wide condition. Land every
where has doubled in value dur
ing the past ten years, under the
stimulous of demand created by
the pressure for land because of
the increase in population and
high prices of agricultural pro
ducts. Even the deserted farms
of New England are rehabilitated
and command a price on the
market supposed few years ago
to belong to the past.
in newer states. where land,
few years ago, was almost un-
salable, the percentage of in
crease has been still greater,
while yet leaving the total price
per acre much below that of OIL
der states. It is this latter fact
which explains the great tide of
immigration flowing into those
newer sections.
The other phase of the matter
is not of so easy explanation.
Illinois lands are valued at twice
as much per acre on the average
as those of Missouri, yet they do
not yield twice the crops. They
do not make for their owners
twice the income from the same
amount of labor and expenditure.
The Illinois farmer does not live
twice as we'll as the Missouri
farmer.
Not only does not Illinois have
this double advantage of MissOu-
ri in all these things, but in some
of them she has no advantage at
all, particularly in the productive
capacity of her higher priced
farms.
1t follows from this that Mis-
souri, farmers are doing better
than Illinois farmers, because
they get as good results out of a
smaller investment of capital. 1t
is only when they want to sell
that they suffer from the differ
ence, but they gain from it when
the assessor lists their farms for
taxation.
The only thing plainly indicat-
ed by this condition of affairs is
that in the future Missouri land
values will increase more than
Illinois values, and that a man
who has S., 900 invested in a farm
in Missouri will, ten years from
now be worth more money than
the man who has a like sum in
vested in agricultural land in
Illinois.
This makes Missouri farms an
inviting investment for the mar
who is looking for a farm. st.
