To the Editor OF The Times: The
following dispatch was sent out from
Washington a short time ago:
"By doing its own sealing the Unit
ed States government has profited
this year more than three times as
much as ii ever did in any single year
when the sealing privileges were
rented to a commercial company.
Secretary Nagel has been advised
from London where the Department
of Commerce and Labor sold it's first
crop of seal skins, that the $4,000
skins were found to be of the very
best quality and netted the govern
ment $450,000 in cash.
This is the first year the govern
ment has done the sealing. For many
years the concession has been leased.
Not only does the government expect
to profit but the seal herds will be
conserved"
This certainly shows that even a
oapitalistlc government can do. and
actually is doing, q very difficult thing
more economically than private cor
poration has been able TO do Ii. The
operation OF a seal fishery is no small
affair. The base OF the industry Is
many thousands OF miles from the
seat OF government and from the bu-
reau under whose direction the work
is performed. Still not only does the
government make large profits from
the industry, but 1t actually conserves

the source of supply OF furs-the seal
herd-which was being rapidly de-
stroyed by the leasing system OF oper-
alton.
This is not ALL At White House
conference regarding the Panama az
fairs in Washington not many nights
ago, we are told there was substan-
tial harmony OF opinion fayoring gov
eminent operation OF the dry dock
andorepair shop facilities and govern
ment sale of all coal, oil and other
ship supplies, at both ends OF the
canal to the trade OF the world passing
through the canal
Now, the question is, III the govern
ment can conduct seal fishery In
Alaska and sell its product In Lon
don, why can't IL operate slaughter
houses in New York and Chicago and
sell its products at cost TO the people
OF the United States? If the govern
ment can sell ship supplies and oil
meaning foodstuffs as well as non
eatables, to the trade Of the world
down in Panama, why can't 1t sell oil,
sugar, flour, meat and everything else
that the people need and must have,
right here at home?
There Is only one answer-prohts;
that's the reason. II the government
did this for MS collectively, the CAPT
talist would not get his profit. And as
this is a government OF. by and for

Taft oiaaIns sis poIi.IeaI GRAVE.

To the Editor of The Times: am
very sorry chat we have a president
who seems willing TO sacrifice the
farmers OF his country. His manner
of dealing with them has caused them
to feel that he holds them in utter
contempt and only recognizes them as
he sees them through cartoons OF the
most ridiculous appearances possible,
clothed in baggfng breeches, orna-
mented with patches on the knees
and posterior. am inclined TO think
that he would like to keep them In
that condition. But. Mr.. Editor, they
have outgrown those toys, and VIII
defend themselves against being
President Taft's ''scapegoats" TO pre-
vent a general revision Of the tariff
schedule; thereby still protecting the
protected interests" The graves he
Is trying to dig for the producers

II certainly will II IL should prevent
the general revision by congress OF
the whole tariff schedule. Labor is
the foundation Of all production be II
the necessaries of life in the line of
foodstuffs or manufactured commodi-
ties. and should stand equally before
the law.
II is not wheat, cattle, hogs and
sheep that the people of Detroit want.
It is -four, beef, pork and mutton that
they use. Do they realize that the
tariff bars would still be up against
them on these articles were this I'M
just, so-called reciprocity treaty rati-
fed Millers from the States could
go TO Canada and buy their wheat and
chip ii in free of duty and be pro-
tected on their -four against Canada
flour. The same with the butcher.
Why throw the farmers of the States
with their high-priced farms, open
to competition with the products of
the cheap lands of the Canadian
northwest, and continue to protect
the home manufacturers. There are
millions of farmers in the States,
backed by billions OF dollars in
wealth, that are getting their eyes
open and will rise up against this
miserable intrigue.
Please publish and oblige a farmer
who has his views and right 10 bat

cipal customers is the navy OF the
United States. In circular recent

profits of the Consolidation Coal co.
OF which c. w. Watson, the new
senator, is president, are described
as follows:
1.-THE company operates 40 btu
minous coal mines, situated In inc
states of Pennsylvania, Maryland
West Virginia and Kentucky. The
properties have been carefully Sc
lected as the best fields for. supply
ing the wide demands for the diner.
ent varieties OF coal. The Maryland
mines produce the Georges Creek
coal, with worldwide reputation as
a smithing coal. and also used ex'
tensiyely by the United States navy
on their battleships." And so forth.
The circular tells also that The
company Is one OF the largest and
most important producers of btu
minous coal in the United States,
and has been successfully operated
for about fifty years"
In his short service In the senate
Mr.. Watson has voted for seating
Lorimer and has signed telegram
declaring his purpose to follow Mr.,
Bailey as leader. His absence
from the senate chamber made pos
sible the passage OF the ship sub
sidy bill.
Did you ever hear OF the fate OF
the bill which was introduced into
the United States senate TO provide
government regulation for the tele-
phone monopoly? II was referred TO
the interstate commerce committee,
OF which the late Senator Elkins
was chairman, and by Senator Ell
kins was referred to a sub-commit-
tee, OF which Senator Murray Crane
of Massachusetts was the chairman.
| The humor lies in the fact that
Senator Murray Crane is the largest
owner and in fact the controlling
owner of the 800, 100000 corpora
ton which is the telephone trust.

also happened that the New Mexico

statehood proposition and trying m

Though Phyllis hath no motor car
She is \ .motnl, girl --t-.
She chues the highways near and far,
And sets them all awhirl
She speeds her soft and flashing eyes
Across life's -you-marms
Until the population lies
Frustrated by her charms.

No matter what [ say,
She's ever on her onward flight
Along her own sweet way
Into my eyes such dust she throws

And what's to her couleur dc rose
Is gasoline to me.
She comes upon me unanuounccd
Like motors around q curve;
1t makes no matter how I'm iouuced,
She keeps right ON the swerve
And when with frowns upon my face
| tax her for her speed.
She gears up To a higher pace
With not a bit of heed
When warnings show along the pike
She skids like one possessed;
No obstacle that she may strike
Fer sets her car at rest
ON. on it flies. Cleet as the breeze,
Regardless Of all rule:
She pays her fines With signs that
please
The heart of sage and fool.
Love is the chauffeur OF her ear,

Steered by her whims and viles.
Her beauty is the power strong
That makes the motor start

Her garage is my heart
