THE ALTITUDE OF MEAT.

Congressman William Kent of Cal
ifornia, himself a large cattle raiser,
offers no hope of decrease in the
high cost of meats. He figures that
it costs $40 more to produce a meat
steer than it did ten to fifteen years
ago, very largely owing to increased
cost of feed. The once vast ranges
have been taken up by individual
farmers who raise the hay and corn
that must be had to fatten steers.
Whether Kent is wholly right or
not, lot of things indicate that the
thrilling proposition for generations
soon to come is going to be intensi-
fled product-the scientific raising
of much on limited acreage.
Agriculture seems to move as a
stream. 1t abandons vast territory
in the east to take up, exhaust and
leave the middle west for the ranges
and the Canadian northwest. Its
methods and processes persisted in
these regions would mean awful
shortage of food supply. But fol-
lowing this stream of pioneers slowly
but surely is comming the fellow ed
ucated to make three crops grow
where one was reaped in disappoint-
ment before. And side by side with
him is coming the fellow who raises
practically all that he consumes. The
disappearance of the great cattle
ranges and ranches is not wholly a
calamity by a good deal. The big
corn-fed steer will supplant the lit
tie range fellow.

PROUD OLD HUMAN RACE.

Scientists have figured it out that
the valley of the Nile has remained
in virtually its present condition for
a million years, and. that Egyptian
civilization is anywhere from 5000
to 100000 years old.
Makes fellow feel mighty small,
doesn't it?
Tom Reed was once asked what he
thought of a certain southern mem
ber of the house, who was constantly
airing his views on every conceivable
subject that came before that body.
Why, he's all right" said Tom in
his nasal way. THE only trouble
with him is that he misapprehends
his relation to the solar universe"
Isn't that true of all of us? Here
we are a million years since civiliza-
tion overcame the savagery of the
wilderness, and we haven't settled
the tariff question yet, nor even the
right and wrong of the hobble skirt.
And the solution of the real prob
lem-the matter of making a world
in which everybody shall have
enough and nobody too much
sometimes seems to be as distant as
that day when the first sunrise SHIN
mered on the murky waters of the
Nile.
We are little bats, beating our
wings against the cage of the uni
verse, bruising ourselves on the wall
of things as they are, then passing
away into forgetfulness with nothing
much accomplished. And we've been
on the job some hundreds of thou
sands of years, they say

TOO BAD, MY son.

And now they are telling about a
precious book that was lost at sea
copy of Omar Khayyam-illustrat
ed by Vedder, and it took two years
to bind it in elaborate fooled mo-
rocco, inlaid with. 1900 gems and
gold settings. This rare volume was
bought by an American who wanted
to prove the proposition that a fool
and his money are soon parted.
Over two thousand dollars was the
price. But think of the intellectual
giant who wants a book bound in
gems and set with gold. Why not
buy his bologna sausage that way?
Get a link of bologna sausage and
take it to goldsmith and have it
set in richly carved bands of gold,
and then procure a thousand price
less gems and place them on the dear
bologna. OF course it wouldn't add
anything to the taste of the departed
dog in skin-it would not add to the
seasoning or destroy the taste of gar
lie which would still abound-but
think how much coin you could part
with in decorating say a dozen de-
lightful sausages in this way. Omar.
on thin paper, bound in a rag and
stamped with rubber type. is Just
as much of an intellectual treat as
the priceless volume which had be-
come depository of wealth that
went to the bottom of the sea. But
1T is not only Omar decorated vul-
carly and wantonly. Milady often
times imagines that her too, too solid
flesh looks better disfigured with a
small jewelry store placed here and
there, and so many of the so-called
smart set imagine that a bank ac-
count adds to the brilliancy of the
conversation. And so Omar had to
be decorated. But the gems inside
the book outshone the gems outside.
For our part we do not see why some
fool with money to burn does not
decorate the sidewalk with diamonds
and rubies and try to bring about a
picture of the New Jerusalem as it
was pictured by the men who
thought Mammon would allure its
slaves to heaven.

THE NEW EDUCATION.

One of the glories of our country
is that every child in it can get a
good fundamental education without
money and without price. Whether
we send our, children to the public
or the parochial schools, all of us
believe in education. We are not GO
ing to be a nation of illiterates. A
nation in which every grown man
and soon every grown woman-is en-
titled to the vote, is also entitled to
the education that will make literate
votes.
The trouble with our educational
systems in the past has been that
they have not taken into account the
individual. All children were con-
sidered in the mass. Certain things
were to he studied and all were to
study these alike.
1t is exactly as if we were to say
that all children of a certain age
were to wear the same sizes in hats,
shoes and knickerbockers, or skirts,
regardless of the height of the kid
dies.
Now just as children differ in
inches and pounds, so do they differ
mental capacities, powers and hob
bies. The richest cities have begun
to recognize this. Hence the new ed
ucation. There are classes for those
who are slow, and classes for those
who are especially alert; classes for
those who have capacities for three
RS and kindred subjects, and classes
for those whose minds turn toward
the manual and mechanical arts.
The new education does not mean
that the child shall be left to go his
own gait, but it does mean that the
teacher. the parents and the chile
himself shall find out and dc yhat
is best for the child.

TARIFF PLUMBER.

Managers OF railroads talk about
the injustice of the public attitude
towards railroads. They say, for in
stance, that railroads must pay more
for material and labor but are not
allowed to raise rates. But do they
ever call attention to the fact that
the protective tariff" burdens them?
Becaues of the protective tariff, +"
the steel trust and other iron and
steel manufacturers can and do
charge from $2S to $34 per ton for
steel rails, which, according to the
testimony of such expert manufac-
turers as Mr.. Carnegie and Mr..
Schwab, can be and are rolled at a
cost of $12 per ton Making a lib
eral allowance for profits, ETC., the
railroads must therefore be paying
from $40 to SIS per ton more for
rails than they should or would pay
but for the tariff.
In round figures the railroads of
the United states buy 3.500,00O tons
of rails per year, so that for rails
alone they pay annually $45, 900, 900
more than they should 1t is a con-
servative estimate that, taking into
consideration the iron and steel pur-
chased by the railroads in the shape
of cars, locomotives, wheels, axles,
trucks, trimmings, bridges, struc-
tural material, etc., they are paying
from $125, 100000 to $15O,OOO, 900
annually as bonus to steel manufac-
turers.
If it be asked why the railroads,
which are not benefited by the tariff,
put up with this extortion, here is
the answer. Twenty-three directors
of the United States Steel Corpora
ton are in control or on the direc-
torates of 55 per cent of the railroad
mileage in the United States.

CONSPIRACY CHARGED.
California Fruit Dealers Said to Have
Formed Combination.

Washington, d. C.-Open charges
that California fruit dealers had con-
spired with other interests to shut
out fruit importations to Atlantic
ports were made recently by Con-
gresham Harrison of New York in
discussing the conference report on
the agricultural appropriation bill in
the house.
The report eliminated the pro-
vision to limit the quarantine against
the Mediterranean fly pest, so that
it would apply only to the Atlantic
coast. AS the bill passed by the
house it specifically exempted the
Atlantic coast.
Congressman Harrison maintained
that the effect of the conference
change would be to heighten the
tariff wall to the exclusive benefit
of California fruit interests.
Congressman Kent of California
and Moore of Pennsylvania took issue
with Harrison, denying that the
amendment would have such effect.
Despite Harrison's objections, the
bill was reported unchanged, and
now goes to President Taft for his
signature.

THE BANK.

The bank is a philanthropic insti-
tuition which confers a favor upon
society by borrowing peoples money
at per cent and loaning it out at Z.
The banker is a man who is paid a
large salary for telling wabbly ,busi-
ness enterprises where the jumping
off spot is located Banks are built
of marble and manganese steel, in
order to prevent somebody who needs
little ready money from reaching
in with bottle of nitroglycerine and
laundering himself with the cash on
hand. In spite of this precaution,
every once in a while some bank
cashier is backed up against the add
ings machine and requested to trans
late the time lock from the original
Hebrew, while coarse men in pea
jackets carry away everything in
sight but the overdrafts. The banks
have built up flourishing and prof
liable industry, pursued with cease
less energy by certain class of citi-
zens, who go through a steel vault
like bareback rider through a pa
per hoop, and who evade the police
L
occasionally happens that one of
these gentry is trapped before some
body can bail him out, after which
he is photographed from all points
of the compass, fed into a shower
bath, measured for a new suit OF
striped clothes and taught how to
dance the lock step. Banks are usu-
ally kept by cashiers who sometimes
keep all of the visible assets until
they get into Canada. A run on a
bank occurs whenever a cashier bios
SONS out in new spring overcoat Oh
donates $25 to the Y. NJ. C. A. A
bank examiner is a merciless and
prying individual, who irritates the
board of directors by requiring oi
them to put up some collateral secur-
ity against their loans. Banks have
prevented a great many people from
going broke sooner than they in
tended to, and therefore we should
hold them in grateful esteem.

FACTS ABOUT ELECTORS.

Senator Borah of Idaho has been
looking into the legal questions in
volved in the selection of presiden-
tial electors.
Each state determines for itself
the manner of selecting its presiden-
tial electors" said the senator, "and
congress fixes the time for their cleo
tion. This being true, the state is
responsible for the method of selec-
ton and for the qualifications of the
electors. There is no way to bind
an elector to support any particular
candidate. A republican elector can
support a democrat in the electoral
college if he desires to do so. The
national convention is matter of
form. Up to the time of Andrew
Jackson the party convention had no
part in presidential elections. Any
body Of men could put out a candi-
date. The legislature of Tennessee
named Jackson for the presidency.
Up to 1920, presidential electors
were chosen by the state legislatures.
In 1924 all states except six selected
them by direct vote of the people.
In 1928 electors were voted for di-
rectly in all states but Delaware and
South Carolina. South Carolina con-
tinued to chose its electors by the
legislature up to 1860. Since that
time electors have been voted for di-
rect in all the states.'
