he draws attention awe from the mire

Much has been said about upstate
Republican voters remaining away from
the polls last election because they were
dissatisfied with the Republican ticket.
The upstate Republican voter is never

= This is interesting even if not strictly true. The mere fact that
such experiments have been originated, thought out, planned and
tried, is in itself an evidence of the utility y of experiment stations and
the uplift of hog culture in the Middle West. .
II is probable that a fuller report on the subject will give the
ingredients of the brain foods and state the standards by which the
experimenters measured the advance in poiteness of hogs and the
Improvement in pork. Until those facts are known final judgment
on the matter must be withheld.
In the meantime there should be further experiments with thu

mer took up six passengers in a large biplane and made a long cross
country fight and back again in safety.
These feats clearly forecast the coming Of a flight across the
ocean. A machine powerful enough to carry seven people can
carry food and fuel for a long voyage for two or three men. A ma
chine that can rest IN the water and rise again at will frees the sea
voyage from many a danger that now imperils even SO short a flight
as that across the British Channel.
The first man that flew over the Alps persisted. Better luck may

The saying was perhaps too sweeping in terms, yet It Is essen
tally true. Such women as do not wish the ordinance are too care
less Of their own safety as well as that of Others to be worth counting
in the matter. Virtually the whole community approves the measure.
The curious point in the issue is that a law should be required
to force a personal reform that everybody wishes. The evil is like
the old one of wearing hats at the theatre. That custom discom-
NODDED women more than it did men, for a man could often see over
a hat that completely barred the view of a woman. Yet the ladies
held to the habit until compelled to abandon it. 1t appears that in
all matters of reform no one wishes to begin. Laws are required to
make them start even.

" broad view of our future economic status and its

NIX dents breadth of vision did not reach beyond
Canada.
The President says: "The guiding motive in seeking adjustment
Of trade relations between two countries so situated geographically
should be to give play to productive forces so far as practicable re-
