MOSBY AT THE GRAVES OF
LEE AND JACKSON.

There was a touching reunion the
other day in the Valley of the Shenan-
doah, when Col John S. Mosby made
a pious pilgrimage to the graves of
Jackson and Lee. The three had met
many times in life, in the course of
that stirring struggle which has lent
an enduring fame to so many names.
This was a reunion of the living with
the dead. Each had played, indeed, a
conspicuous part in the great conflict.
The beau sabreur, the knight without

in chief of the Confederate forces has

CHEERING NEWS FROM THE
SARDINE CENTER.

A crumb of comfort drops into the
public lap in the shape of a news
dispatch from way down East telling
of the boom which has overtaken the
sardine canneries.
A lowly but an altogether delectable
and nutritious fish is the sardine. Let
the epicure stick if he must to tho
original Sandman fish, the husky little
pilchard, done up in pure olive OIL" A
toothsome importation, without doubt.
But the difference is a matter of taste.
The demand for sardines long ago out
stepped the supply to be found off
the French coasts. Hence such well
come substitutes as the English sprat
and the American herring. The little
herring fills the bill. 1t does not tickle
the palate so acutely as the pilchard /;
but the nutriment is there, neverthe-
less. And what is to be said of the
herring may also be said in favor of
the cheaper oil. 1t is not the dressing
that the connoisseurs prefer; but it
is palatable and wholesome and twill
more than serve at a time when, as
the undertaken says, it is cheaper to
die than to live.
Never before in the history Of the
sardine business in this port have the
little herrings been so plentiful as now.
We would call that news from East.
port downright cheering.

grimage in his declining years to the
consecreated spot on which they both
are buried was himself the thunderbolt
of war. The very name of Mosby and
his Rangers spread terror through the
ranks of the enemy. Riding through
the night and penetrating the impene-
trable places, striking when and where
he was least expected, and away before
the dawn, eluding and pursuing, he
made the enemy all but superstitious
of his uncanny skill.
Those were trying years they spent
together, those three. The tragic day
came when Jackson fell, mortally
wounded from the fire of his own men,
and passed over the river to rest un-
der the shade of the trees" In the
fullness of time the quiet career to
which Lee had dedicated the remnant
of his days at the great Virginia uni
versity which now links his own name
with that of Washington, came to all
end, peacefully as became Christian
soldier.
Many years have passed, but dur
ing all that time the great guerrilla
leader had not until recently stood at
the graves of those he had known so
well in life. His affairs had taken
him around the world. He had served
his country in China and on the Pacific
coast. The chances and changes of
time have brought him back to the
scenes of those earlier struggles in
which he and his comrades found dis
tinction, and at last he seeks out the
final resting place of the brightest
ornaments of the Confederacy. 1t was
a tender and touching tribute from
one who is himself worthy of the
highest praise.

LOAN SHARK BILL UP TO THE
HOUSE.

In spite of the expected opposition
of Senator Hepburn, the loan shark
bill passed the Senate late yesterday,
practically as it was reported from the
committee. 1t now goes to the House,
and there is good reason for the hope
that when the Sixty second Congress
convenes in regular session next De-
cember the measure will promptly be
enacted into law.
The amendment adopted was an un-
important one, simply providing that a
man may lend his own money, with
out a license, provided he does not
charge more than 10 per cent.
Under the terms of the bill, loan
companies are required to take out
license OF $500 year; they are re-
stricted to loans of not more than
500 to any one person, and the maxi
mum rate of interest is fixed at III
per cent per month. The rate of in
terest has naturally been the principal
bone of contention, and those who have
made close study of the actual oper-
alton of remedial legislation are of
the opinion that 2 per cent per month
would have been nearer the sum which
the loan agencies should have been al
lowed to charge, when the risks they
take and all other facts are taken into
consideration. At the same time I'M
questioned friends of the reform move
ment felt that rate of l11 per cent
was sufficient, and with that sum
fixed the measure will be taken up
when Congress reconvenes.
Pains and penalties are provided
which should deter even the most des-
perate and daring loan sharks from
attempting to evade the law, and there
is a special provision directed against
Government employees who attempt to
take advantage of their fellow en-
ployes by entering into the loan shark
business.
The bill as it stands, while not
ideal, will go long way toward reliev-
ing the distressing conditions which
prevail in the District. The peculiar
conditions existing here are: the large
number of Government employees who's.
modest salaries make it imperative at
times that they should borrow money
which they could not secure from the
banks, and at the same time the very
nature of their employment makes
them a "better risk" than the average
empIoye in other cities. There has
been no intention of driving the loan
agencies out OF business, but of throw
ing around them such restrictions as
will protect the borrowers from the
merciless grip of the more grasping
kind.
The adoption of the present bill will
have a beneficial effect, even though it
should be found necessary or wise
hereafter to increase the interest gate
to per cent.

THESE MEN DESERVED THEIR
SENTENCES.

There is no denying the justice Of
the Jail sentences imposed on the thir
teen members of the poultry trust"
who were recently convicted of con-
spiracy under the New York penal
laws. Rather it is to be hoped that
with this precedent in mind judges will
hereafter be far less inclined to let of
with a mere fine those convicted of
similar crimes. To revert to an old
saying, fine is only license to vio-
late the law; and, as with any other
license, the question is simply whether
the privilege is worth the price.
But the point is sure to be made
that these men are going to Jail not
because they are any less guilty than
the big magnates of the trusts but
because they happen to be less well
known and influential. This has moth
ing to do with the case. When a
man, wealthy or poor, is convicted of
violating the penal code of the State
of New York he is apt to 60 to prison.
By far the majority of the illegal acts
committed by trusts during the last
twenty years and for which their Of
fcers have perhaps been indicted have
been due to the general haziness Of
the Sherman act. We can hardly feel
justified in prosecuting men for acts
the commission of which was not de-
MED but the criminality of which not
even the Attorney General of the
United States could be sure of until
the act had been interpreted by the
Supreme Court. Prosecution for such
illegalities in the future is a different
matter. There is every reason to be-
lieve that the trust people are as much
relieved to know what the law means
as is the Department of Justice; and
violation of it should henceforth, and
no doubt will, be followed by imprison-
ment.
DuI JnlS pdItlSuldl SoSe was oHS
which no possible construction of the
Sherman law could pronounce legiti-
mate. 1t was a clean-cut conspiracy
to hoist the price of a necessity OF
life. The association had no excuse
for it's existence: 1t did not make
even a pretense of effecting economies
in production or distribution. Its aim
was purely monopolistic; and it gained
its ends by methods of coercion, boy
colt, bribery, and blackmail. 1t pre-
sented every vicious element of the
trust, without one redeeming feature.
1t does so happen that the guilt
men were well below the ranks of
magnates. But this is no Palliation
of their offense. New York has on the
gridiron a number of richer and more
influential men who are charged with
much the same sort of extortion. and
it may be predicted that they will find
the laws hand no more lenient than it
was in this case.

TEN MILLION PEOPLE
IN THE CANADIAN
WEST BY 1920
"r.rOnto star" Dec. 18th, 1910.


The prediction Is made that before
1920 Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Al
berta and British Columbia will have
ten million people. 1t is made not by
sanguine Western journal but by
that very sober business newspaper,
the New York Commercial. 1t is
based upon actual observation, upon
the wheat-growing capacity Of the Ca
madam West, and upon the prospects
Of development following the build
ing Of railways. The writer shows
how the position Of leading wheat
market of the world passed from
Milwaukee to Minneapolis and thence
to Winnipeg. Canada's wheat-grow,
ing belt is four times greater than
that Of the United States, and only
five per cent of Canada's western agri-
cultural area is under cultivation.
There are 170,000,000 acres Of wheat
lands which will make these Western
Provinces richer, more populous, more
dependable for food supplies than the
Western States can ever become. The
center of food supremacy will change
to Canada, and 25 years more will
give this country 100000 popula-
ton west Of Ontario.
All these estimates Of population
are in the nature of guesses, and must
not be read too literally. But the
enormous area Of wheat-growing land,
the rapid construction of railways,
and the large volume Of immigration
are facts which must be recognized.
They point to the production Of an
ever-increasing surplus Of wheat and
other cereals. However rapidly the
urban, the Industrial and commercial
population of Canada may increase,
the increase of home consumption is
hardly likely to keep pace with that
of the production Of wheat; for a sin
gle acre of wheat will provide for the
average annual consumption Of four
people.
While production in Canada is thus
running ahead Of consumption at q
prodigious rate, consumption in the
United States is overtaking produc.
tion, and the surplus for export is
growing smaller year by year. 1t is
true that the limit of actual power to
produce wheat is as yet far away
BY methods of intensive cultivation
such as prevail in France, the produc
tion could be greatly increased. But
with the overflowing granary of Can
ada so close at hand, it seems likely
that our neighbors will begin to i'm
port from US, turning their own en-
ergies more largely to other forms ot
agriculture.
1t must be remembered that while
the Northern States resemble Canada
in climate and products, the resem
blance diminishes as you go south
ward. The wheat belt gives place t.
a corn belt, and this again to semi
tropical regions producing cotton, to
bacco, cane-sugar, oranges and othel
tropical fruits.
The man who secures a farm II
Western Canada at the present time
secures an investment better than the
best of bond Of any government Of
bank. 1t is no unusual thing for I
farmer in Western Canada to realize
a profit of from $5 to $40 per acre
There are thousands Of free home
steads of 100 acres each still to b,
