II TIE current number OF a maya
zine Mr. Roosevelt returns to his cele-
brated race suicide theme with a
vengeance, the occasion being ne"
hook on Racial Decay by an
Australian writer named Beale, con-
tanning extensive data OF the decline OF
birth rates in Great Britain, France
and Australia. Mr.. Roosevelt says
that this decline is due to the capital
sin the cardinal sin, against the race
and against civiization-willful ster-
ilitv in marriage" Beale shows that
this sterility in France is actually de-
creasing the French race, the popula-
ton being kept up only by higher
birth rates of the Italians and Germans
residing in France. The rate IN New
Zealand and Australia is lower than IN
England Mr. Roosevelt insists that a
marriage is still sterile in its ultimate
bearings if there be only one or two
children, and even the three'child
family is racial sterility. He implies
that women should not get the vote IN
less they have at least four children.

THE PRESS AGENT
AND WHAT 1T?"

The following from the Seattle
Republican so completely expresses
our sentiment that we reproduce it
word for word
Press agents for political aspir-
ants are beginning to get busy send
ing political dope to the various
newspapers with the view of having
the same published without cost.
These press agents are paid princely
sums for their services, and their
services consist in writing dope, not
a word of which is correct, but 80
wOrded that even the publisher will
be taken in by it. The weekly press
of the state has been imposed upon
by the politicians since the mind Of
man runneth not to the contrary an
it is about time to call halt. We
suggest that publishers of weekly
papers consign all press agent dope
to the waste basket unless the same
is paid for at regular advertising
rates. There is plenty of things to
fill your papers with besides political
dope of candidates, at the expense
of the newspaper publishers. Mr.. A.
or b. may not be the candidate of
the daily papers with trust leanings,
but Mr.. A. or Mr.. b. is not the can
didate of the weekly papers only 50
far as Mr.. A. or Mr.. B. can work
them. and the sooner the weekly
press gets wise to that the sooner
will the publishers thereof be con-
sdered in the political game. The
newspaper publisher has space TO sell
has no more right to expect that
space be given him than do business
! houses and it is not a business prop
| osition for the publisher to give it,
the f1owery press agents to the con-
trary Notwithstanding.
when the management of one of
the daily papers of Seattle was asked
a few days ago by prospective can
didate for public office. what attitude
would the paper take toward his cam
didacy, he was informed that the pa
per was not in the business of nomi-
mating candidates for Office and the
paper was not interested in The per-
sonal candidacy of anyone. On the
other hand, the space in the paper
was for sale and if he or anyone else
desired to use that space it was so
much per- If the daily papers are
making it a commercial proposition.
it's right and proper the weekly pa
pers do likewise. The press agents OF
certain candidates are already trying
to array the weekly press of the
state against the daily press, not
with the view of helping the cause
OF the weekly press. but to get the
cause of some candidate espouse9.
which candidates cause the daily
press has rejected. If the weekly
press does not take care of itself it
| is very evident that neither the poll
ticians nor the daily press will do
So"

A GROWING DISRE-
GARD FOR LAW

Referring to the late supreme
court decisions in the trusts, Sena-
tor Borah of Idaho in his recently
much quoted address, says. Bound
up in many volumes you will find
the full record of two of the late
noted decisions. 1t is a tale twice
told of selfishness and greed, eXtor-
ton and lawlessness. The plea OF
justification is not unlike the plea Of
the planters OF dynamite, for al
though the acts are clearly in viola
ton of law and the rights of the
public, it is claimed nevertheless,
that it was all done in the interests
Of business growth and Industrial
progress.
This is the best plea and the only
plea that twentieth century business
can furnish-all that could be said
by those so rarely gifted and so rich
ly endowed with this worlds goods
and intellectual power, and of whom
the government and humanity have
a right to expect so much.
This is part of Senator Borah's
eloquent plea for return of an
Obedience to the Law" which he
said was the bedrock upon which
strong governments are built He
held out the idea that any political
party could make this a cardinal test
of faith. Disregard for law is fast
becoming a national crime, and cam
paigning for law enforcement has al
ready begun. President Taft who
was present and heard Senator Boz
abs speech took occasion to COM
pliment him and the full text of the
address will be read with great in
terest by the laymen where it is
equally certain to get favorable COM
ment.

STORY OF A FARMER
AND HIS FAT PIGS

A Jersey farmer took two pigs
to market and received credit for
them at current prices. He asked
the butcher 10 save him a couple
of hams. When he called for
them a week later and demanded
the balance due him, he was pre-
scented with bill S2.S5 in excess
of the price he got for the pigs.
1t was a striking illustration of
the wide difference between what
the producer gets and the Consum
er pays. because it happened in
that case the producer and con-
sumer were represented by the
same man-the farmer. The in
cident led to an investigation OF
the difference between farm aud re-
tail prices on number of COM
mon articles, with this result:
Potatoes gets IS cents;
city man pays at retail S1.5O.
Asparagas-Farmer 8; retail 40.
Milk-Farmer 4; retail 8 to 10.
Strawberries Farmer 10; retail
(hotel) So
Eggs-Farmers 20 to 4S per doz-
Ell; restaurant Is cents apiece, or
81 so per dozen.
Cabbages-Farmer 2; retail 10.
Beef Farmer $50 to $50 per
steer; restaurant about 81, 900 per
steer.
Wheat-Farmer $1.OO per 90
pounds; breakfast cereal 49, per
90 pounds; in form of bread, 800
to 1000 per cent advance over
farm price.
And so it goes through the entire
list.
