planned to him why they believe that
the unnecessary middleman' should
be done away with in this city and the
products of the ground handled di-
rectly from the farmer to the con-
sumner The delegation is here for the
purpose of working out cooperative
scheme whereby this may be accom-
plished.
Patrick Egan, former minister to
Chile acted AS chief spokesman and
presented some figures to show why
the farmer gets so little for his produce
and why the consumer pays so much.
He declares that the farmers and con-
sinners have been .mulcted and in
proof of this continued:
Il have but to state that the pota-
toes for which consumers paid $50, 00o,-
0o0 last year netted our farmers less
than $500, 600 Cabbages which sold
ia this city for s9,125,000 brought the
farmers S1.soo,000, and milk which
sold to consumers for from $4S,00o.0O0
to 100000 brought the farmers
s23, 900 600
Manor Gaynor made a brief speech
to the delegation, speaking of over
production of gold as causing higher
prices and also attacked 'favoritsm
in railroad freight rates as zone of
the most damnable things ever at
tempted"

ARBITRATION COMING.
President Taft Tells American Bar

preme Court Members.

slowly but surely coming said Presi-
dent Taft in his address today before

said. falls the burden of initiating
reform in that respect
Speaking of the salaries of the fed
eral judges. the president said that
those of the circuit judges should be
increased so as to be more commensu-
rate with those paid district judges.
'*Of course he said, the salaries of
the supreme court members ought to
be increased. We have gotten them
up to $12.500, or something like that.
They ought to go up to $4,000. A
court which exercises such great re-
sponsibility and calls for such ability
and learning ought to have it's MEM
bers amply paid so that they need not
be dependent on lecturing in law
schools and doing other things for the
purpose of ekine out salary that
only enables them to live.
Cheers When the President Appeared.
The president motored in from Bev-
erly and when he appeared in the con-
vention hall he was greeted with a
hearty cheer No formal introduction
was spoken. President Edgar Fl. Far
rar of the bar association. one of the

expressed his purpose to retire in ia

A HYMN of PEACE.

Two empires by the sea,
Two nations great and free,
One anthem raise.
One race of ancient fame,
One tongue, one faith, we claim.
One God, whose glorious name.
We love and praise.
What deeds our fathers wrought
What battles we have fought,
Let fame record.
Now vengeful passion cease,
Come victories of peace;
Nor hate, nod pride's caprice.
Unsheath the sword.
Though deep the sea and wides
Twixt realm and realm, its tide
Binds strand to strand.
So be the gulf between
Gray coasts and islands green,
With bonds of peace serene
And friendship spanned.
Now. may the God above
Guard the dear lands we love,
Both east and west.
Let love more fervent glow,
AS peaceful ages go,
And strength yet stronger grow,
Blessing and bIest.
