In an editorial on the tariff the

in the senate that the tariff bill will
be actually hammered into shape
Let us hope that they will not hammer
it into the shape of party perfidy and
dishonor" as they did the Wilson bill.

NO CURE FOR lNFANTILE PAR
ALYSIS.

According to DR.. Simon F1exnor ri
New York, who has been making a
special stud of the disease, no treat
ment, so far as is known, which can
be regarded as specific, or even eff
fective, has been found dealing with
the problem of infantile paralysis. AT
recent conference in New York OF
medical officers under the auspices OF
the state department of health. DR..
Flexnor gave the following views in
discussing this dreaded disease:
Until we can succeed in determin-
ing how the disease is transmitted we
cannot expect to accomplish its pre-
vention.
"The source of entrance of the
germs of this disease appears to be
through the upper air passages, es-
pecially the nose.
at would also appear that the most
probable means of exit of this germ is
through the nose and throat 1t is,
therefore, very important that the dis
charges from the nose end threats OF
cases suffering from infantile par
alysis be promptly destroyed"

We quote:
The Evolution theory and higher
Criticism Of the Bible have today fos-
tered unbelief to such an extent that
everything intangible Is doubted. Be
ginning with the college professor and
the majority Of the educated ministers
this skepticism has embraced the
wealthy. who are satiated with the
blessings Of prosperity. Their present
attitude is one Of doubt respecting
everything connected with the Bible.
They well know that outside the BIZ
BILE there is nothing but guess work,
and they prefer their own guesses to
those of other people. Very many Of
them speak candidly and tell that they
are agnostics. that they are uncertain

The effect Of all this loss OF faith in

THE COST OF SELLING.

It is the cost of selling that is the
primary cause of the high cost OF Nv
ing. according to Mr.. B. Y. Yoakum-
chairman OF the board of directors OF
the Frisco lines. At the meeting OF
the Texas Farmers Congress, he told
them all about it. He has investigated
the matter thoroughly and his conclu-
sion is that the farmer does not get
enough for his products while the I'll.
innate consumer pays too much. He
cited the government reports the
government has also been on the trail
Of the middleman-to show that the
producer receives only 46 cents for
produce for which the consumer pays
dollar.
There was that apple grower OF the
west. for instance, who sold barrel
of apples from his orchard for Sc
cents. He traced the same barrel to
the New York market where its price
had risen to 81. If the apples the bar
rel contained were sold. not by the
! barrel, but in small measures, the dis
| proportion between what the producer
received and the consumers paid
/ would have been much more apparent.
| Mr.. Yoakum showed that the farm
/ products of last year were worth nine
! billion dollars. He assumes that the
/ farmers kept one-third of their pro.
duce for their own use and he states
/ that the consumer paid over thirteen
/ billions of dollars for what the pro-
ducers received only six billion. Thus
/! it is shown that some seven billion
dollars were expended in selling the
produce.
Reform in the selling OF farm pro
duce seems to be necessary, and Mr.
Yoakum suggests that the government
should establish a market bureau oil
the department of agriculture which
should accumulate and distribute in
formation on the best methods, the
best times and the best markets fol

could we'll be supplemented by fur

: the food that he sells SO cheaply Il

Whatever the method, Mr.. Yoakun

John Callan O'Laughlin telegraphs
from Washington to the Chicago Trfb-
une that President Taft will veto the
wool bill, the so-called farmers free

ed by congress, preferring to wait for
reports from the tariff commission en-
which scientific tariff legislation can
be based. The tariff board having ex-
pended more than 100000 in collect

willing to give his approval to changes
in duties made upon insufficient
