That ancient and many times de-
feeted subsidy proposition makes ap-
pearance in new form.
Among the many suggestions for in
surfing a large amount of business for
the Panama canal comes the recon-
mendation Of Mr.. Simpson. secretary
Of war, that rebates be allowed or the
tolls charged for American vessels.
In other words, Mr.. Simpson would
have subsidies distributed in the
shape Of rebates instead of in the way
of direct payments from the national
treasury. He would have the people
make a present of cash to the favored
shippers and shipowners in advance
instead of after possible service.
The people are not SO stupid that
they will not be able to see through
this ingenious proposition for whip
ping the devil round the stump. They
are not prepared to put out their good
money for the benefit Of any class of
men.

UnMritten LAW.

According to the Standard Diction-
airy, THE unwritten law is a rule or
custom established by general usage,
ETC." The unwritten law, as the term
recently has come into use, is the as
sumed or supposed right of a person
to punish even with death the author
of a gross wrong committed against a
member of his family. Courts do not
~countenance it, but justices frequently
act upon it, and several instances have
occurred within recent years in which
persons accused of homicide have
been acquitted.

TOO PROLONGED AN INFANCY
Some Facts as to InquIties Of "Protec-
tive" System Which VIII Appeal
to All Taxpayers.

The first tariff act under the Con-
stitution became a law July 4, 1889.
1t was the only such act that congress
ever expressly declared to be intend
ed In any degree for protection.
This act laid specific duties on SO
enumerated articles, and ad valorem
duties IN 81 enumerated articles. 1t
put 10 others on the free list. On all
other articles 1t laid a level five per
cent. duty.
The highest ad valoremi rate was
on carriages-15 per cent. The prin-
cipal articles on which specific duties
were laid were spirits, wines and malt
liquors, tea, coffee, tobacco, iron and
steel. Some Of these specific duties
were for protection, and some were
for revenue only. Some Of them were
equivalent to more than is per cent.
and some were not.
The duties of both kinds in fact pro-
duced revenue equal to 81 per cent.
of the value of all imports. The ex-
cess of this over the level five per
cent. rate-that is 3k per cent.-was
about the measure Of average protec-
ton.
Average protection today, after
nearly a century and a quarter of
progress in industrial efficiency and
the accumulation Of vast capital in the
protected Industries, is nearly eight
times as great.
Does any intelligent man who has
given serious attention to the subject
believe our industries need eight
times, or twice, or even as much pro-
lection as they did 122 years ago,
when they were indeed in their in
fancy?
II SO, what does he think they will
need after, another century and a
quarter of dry nursing?

%LETHBRIDGE, ALBERTA,
SECURES DRY FARM
ING CONGRESS
FOR 1912.

The term, dry farming" does not
indicate all that might be implied. 1t
does not mean a system of irrigation.
but one where all the rain fall and
precipitation is stored up and con-
served in the soil, to be drawn upon
by scientific and sane processes when
1t may be required to forward and in
crease the growth of grain.
In certain sections of the Canadian
West as well as in the American
West, there is a portion of the coun-
try in which the soil is the very best
for the growing of cereals, but the
geographical locations and relative
position to the rain avenues, do not
give the advantage that other parts
possess in the matter of precipitation.
Agricultural science, however, has
been making rapid progress during
the past few years, and it is now as
certained that it is not altogether the
number of inches of rain that is es-
sential to the growing of crops, but
its conservation, and that is the
meaning of "Dry farming" DRY
Farming" may we'll be applied to dis
tricts where there is a heavy rain fall
and better results will follow. The
education of the public into these new
methods, not new exactly, but such
as have had satisfactory demonstra-
ton, is not alone the purpose of these
dry-farming Congresses. One idea is
to bring into life and into operation
the great of splendid land lying
within what might be termed semi
arid, without placing them under the
restrictive and expansive process of
irrigation.
The Congresses. are attended by
thousands and they bring representa-
tives from all parts Of the world. The
Province of Alberta, and also of Sas-
k~atchewan, has taken a vital interest
in the Congresses which have been
held in the past two or three years.
The Province of Alberta has made
provincial exhibits districts have
shown their products, and last year,
several hundred dollars were taken in
prizes; this year the Province of Al
berta took prizes ten to one in excess
of any state in the Union. Alberta
has won eight out of twenty special
cups, that province taking one, Leth-
bridge one, Arthur Perry six, and
John Baxter, Edmonton, carrying off
one sweepstakes. When it came to
a matter of location for the Congress
for 1912, the City Of Lethbridge,
which had put up a splendid fight for
It, secured the Congress by a unani-
nous vote. 1t is expected that the
Lethbridge Congress will be the larg-
est yet held and will be the biggest
convention in the history of Western
Canada. In emphasizing his invita-
tion to Lethbridge, one of the speak
ers said he had just received a tele-
gram from Magrath (near Lethbridge)
stating that of one thousand acres Of
wheat Just thrashed Hethershaw and
Bradshaw had thrashed $4,000 bush
els.
Literature sent out recently by the
Canadian Government Agents, which
will be sent postage free on applica-
ton, tells of hundreds of splendid
yields in all parts of Western Canada.

Turkish Medicines.

Old-fashioned physicians have plenty
of reliable remedies for cholera. An
agate in the pocket and a hyacinth on
the neck are much esteemed, but the
bone Of a dead child carried in the
pocket is nearly as efficacious. Chol-

Therefore drink decoctions of laurel

True Business Prosperity.

Why, asks Congressman RedfeId, in
view of the triumphs of American man
ufacturers abroad. should their fellow
countrymen be prohibited from buying
goods beyond the seas? The question
cuts to the very bottom Of the Chinese
Wall theory of business prosperity.
Men grow rich, as a matter Of fact,
by buying and selling among each 9TH
er, not by being prohibited from doing
so.

that the biggest s%urrenderer of them
all deserves the main load of blame

the AmericaA Antitrust league really
wishes to do the country a service 1t

Situation.
The Englishman who has been
wearing a top hat and a frock coat
impressed all who saw him with his
distinguished appearance as he
strolled about with an expansive air
in one Of the more expensive hotls.
On Wednesday morning he came up
to a clerk.
g" would like to have a shirt laun-
dered," he said. Il must have it back
by five o'clock"
The clerk told him that the time
was unusually short, but he would do
what he could, and the shirt was de-
livered on time.
He came down Thursday morning
and said he wanted another shirt
Numbered, but that this one must be
back by two O'Clock in the afternoon.
The clerk said that would be too
short a time. The Briton grew angry
and demanded to see the proprietor.
He got as far as the bellboy captain,
to whom he protested that he would
not stand for such treatment. The
bell boy suggested the purchase of a
third shirt.-New York Sun.
