THE STOCK MARKET.

The widest scenes for years were
witnessed in Wall street on the re.
cent shake down. Twenty-Five thou
sand lots were tossed around as if it
were penny ante, and the mob of
brokers surgcd as if every one of
them were members of football line.
Few who live lives of simple toll,
where our success depends mostly on
our own industry and fidelity, can
realize how moral standards fade
away under such strain.
Fragile human nature was not built
to stand sudden shocks. 1t is a slow
and orderly evolution, and when the
telephone boy acquires a $4,000 apart
ment on Riverside drive in six months
and later sinks to the seody and un-
shorn vulture of the bucketshop, the
orderly processes of natures growth
are shattered.

feel any worse at the tears of 100

the wheel.
And yet, all the projects for pro.
hibting speculation have so far come
to naught. Much was made at the
start of the effort of Germany in
1896 to check it. Spectators were
required to be registered as such. 1t
was believed that this would drive
merchants off the bourse, as the dis
credit would hurt their business. But
they soon found ways to deal in Sc
Curities through banks and foreign
brokers.
On the produce exchanges the re-
suits actually were harmful in i'm

to go on, but the true nature of the

AGAINST FREE SEEDS.

The paternal interest of the cong
ressmen in their constituents, as man
ifested by the distributing of free
vegetable and flower seeds, does not
seem to be truly appreciated by the
Vegetable Growers Association of
America, which has just held its an
nual session at Boston
Strange to sap the president of this
influential organization, in his pro-
gram of work for the year, was so
ungrateful as to include campaign
for abolition of free seed distribution
by congressman, and the use of the
same money for agricultural develop
ment
The sending around yearly of 49,
O00,0 packets of free seeds has been
one of the most efficient and eco
nomical methods of building political
fences ever devised by our ingenious
solons.
The receipt of such a packet gives
the constituent not merely the same
sense of pleasure that comes from
mention of his name in the local news.

your representative is right on the

interests as a property owner and

So much from the politicians view
point. But the taxpayer has always
been strongly obtuse to the advantag-
es acquired by the half million it
costs to prepare and distribute these
seeds.
A seed of a useful plant has been
it's silent heart is locked a potency
of wealth. In the microscopic differ
ence between a good and a poor seed
lies the difference between agricultu-
raj wealth and poverty. If this gov
ernment distribution led the farmers
to learn the advantages of well select
ed seed, the money would be well
spent
But the men who are acquiring high
cereal yields through attention to the
choice of seed, don't probably get
their information from the govern
ment. Nor would they, unless the
government went into the business of
seed farming on a vast scale,
Instead they ally themselves with
some good seed producing house, many
of which are doing such remarkable
work. Some never send out a seed

ALDRICHS CAMPAIGN.

1t is unfortunate that Gov. Aldrich
elected to the highest position in the
state of Nebraska by the republican
party, should consider it his privilege
to exert the power of his position to-
ward defeating the party that gave
him his present job. 1t is unfortunate
that he should so far forget his re-
form cry of allowing the people to
rule as to attempt to rule the people
upon their presidential preference. 1t
is unfortunate that the governor has
seen fit to attack the man who will
be renominated for president, by the
republicans, and who will be looked
to by the governor for aid in pulling
Mr., Aldrich through to another vic
tory in 1912.
Yet for months Gov. Aldrich has
been persistently trying to arouse
sentiment against the president. He
has eXertcd all the prestige of his of
turbance within the party that has
hOnored him. If he had it in mind to
defeat the republican party of Ne
braska, he could hardly have put
forth greater effort to arouse dissen.
sion. And he is doing all this presi,
dental campaigning many months
ahead of the opportune time, appar-
emily having no thought that a state
ticket this year will suffer by such
internal party strife.
Gov. Aldrich's politics is mystery
to many of the people who helped
elect him.
