POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS.

The arrangement between "Will''
and Theodore" has reached point
where "Theodore's" campaign mana.
ger accuses "Will's" campaign mana
ger of citing detectives to shadowing
him; worse still, "rheodore's" mana
ger charges that the detectives tapped
his wiros and actually overheard a
conversation between himself and one
of "Theodore'sn chief hackers, Mr.. Nc
Cermick.
Newspaper writers are describing
the Taft headquarters as the "Morgue,
and referring TO the Third Terra
party's headquarters as "mad
house, On the other hand the bust
nesslike and well-direcied ent husiasm
of the Democratic headquarters re-
ceives the commentator of everyone
who visits there.
Gov. Wilson'S reception at St Paul
and Minneapolis enlisted practically
the entire populaGon Of beta ehhiss md
the surrounding country. The out
pouring of the progressive people OF
that state to do honor TO the only
progressive candidate for presidents,
indicates the attitude of the people
toward Gov. Wilson.
1t is significant fact that neither
the Republican nor the third term
orators are discussing the tariff How
can they, when both their candidates
have always been stand-patters where
the tariff was concerned2 And yet
the tariff is largely responsible for all
the burdens the people of this country
e struggling under. No program for
relief from present trouble can have
any value which does not have for its
very coping stone the revision down
ward OF the tariff.

This count shows that Wilson, in
the ballots cast, had clear majority
of 40 over all other candidates. OF the
number who indicated preference
for Wilson, 276 voted fer Taft four
years ago, 1872 voted for BRYAN, 81 for
Debs and ia did not state for whom
they had voted. OF the SO who in.
dicated preference for Roosevelt, 41e
had voted for Taft and l08 for Bryan.
Thus Wilson gained practically 20 4
votes from the Republicans for every
one that he lost 10 Roosevelt. Another
significant fact in connection with the
straw vote is that the large majority
of those who expressed a preference
for Debs voted for Taft four years ago.

THE BIGGEST APPLE CROP EVER

The biggest apple crop ever known
is said to be in sight for 1912 The
New York Journal of Commerce
earned something of a reputation IN
the predicting of the size of crops
that probably $4,000 900 barrels of APP
pies viii be marketed this year, as
against 30.000,000 barrels in 1911. In
no state where apples are grown is
there the prospect of failure; in
New York, Maine Massachusetts and
Michigan the outlook is the best ev-
er known; in Pennsylvania, Mary
land, West Virginia and Virginia, bet
ter crops are expected than last year;
in Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas and IL
linois the yield promises to be larger
than for several years past; and in
what is known as the BOX Apple Ter.
ritory" of the States of Washington
Oregon and Idaho the present crop
will not only be incomparably larger
than that of last year, but it may
be double that Of 1910, a year that
broke all records. The reason for
this is two-fold; the seasons have
been splendid, and so many new
trees have begun TO bear since 1910
that it is estimated that the fruitful
acreage of this region is now about
$4,000 acres, as against $4,000 two
years ago. There is every reason for
thinking that the apple crop will get
bippar and hiuppt. oypf,- eagcg,, Int
unfortunately, there is no ground for
hoping that the prices will get any
lower We wonder il the producer
gets as much per barrel for a crop Of
5O,000000 barrels as for a crop of 30
100000. or, if not. where The money
goes? The consumer has not been
benefited by big crops In the past, ex-
cept that it has been possible 10 get
finer fruit.

ROAD AND SHIPPERS
TO SHARE RESPONSIBILITY
B. G. o. Management Organizes Loss
and Damage Bureau to Investi-
gate DELAYS and COMPLAINTS.

The Baltimore and Ohio has organ
lied loss and damage bureau, the
purpose of which is generally to su-
pervise and keep record of occasion
Of losses so that, in cooperation with
shippers, vexatious delays and losses
incident to delay and damage in
freight in transit may be reduced to a
minimum. Because of illegible and
improper markings many shipments go
astray and numerous shipments re-
main undelivered by the railroads.
Often, too, in shipping pieces of steel
and other heavy articles, when there
are several pieces in the same ship
ment common practice among ship
pers is to tag or mark but one piece
and trust to the railroad for the safe
delivery of the entire shipment. Ere
quently such shipments become sep
arated and not only is there result
ant loss, but the consignee is incon-
venienced
Under the plan of the loss and dam
ge bureau effort will be made to have
shippers appreciate when their inter-
ests are best protected by careful
marking and packing, and if freight
is found not NAKED so that destina-
ton can be determined it is sent to a
central point, where, under the exam
ination of trained men connected with
frequently ascertained and the ship
ment forwarded. A record is kept by
the bureau of each package that is
short or over, and the first work, after
ascertaining the contents, is to lean
whether such package is reported
short or over at any station on the
railroad and if so, to forward the lost
article.
Shipments are also damaged as a re-
suit of poor Storage in cars, improper
packing to prevent breakage, rough
handling, leaky cars and other causes.
Upon receiving a damaged shipment
at any destination TN the Baltimore
and Ohio, report is made to the loss
and damage bureau, with details as
to the cost of damage. A copy of the
report is sent to the agent at the sta
ton originating the shipment, in order
that he matt T may be taken up with
the shipper to prevent recurrence of
the loss. The bureau tabulates the in
formation as to the cause of losses at
each station on the railroad; therefore
the station agents take pride in min
imizing the losses chargeable to them
and feel a moral responsibility to pre-,
vent loss and damage to shipments.
The Baltimore and Ohio manage
ment takes the position that ship
ments received in good condition
should be so delivered, the loss and
damage bureau having been establish
ed with this end in vyiew. Great in
terest has been manifested among
shippers in the creation of the bureau
because of the cooperative efforts be-
ing made to reduce losses. Station
agents also look with favor on the new
organization as it will enable them to
keep platforms free of over and IN
claimed shipments and better the ser
vice they are able to render their pa
irons.

FARMERS AND BANKS

The endorsement by both party
platforms OF the idea of establishing
in this country some system by which
farmers can more readily obtain cred
it's or bank funds for their farming
operations, says the Pittsburg Dis
patch, puts the plan above politics. II
Is really a question whether our de-
sections imaginary, and in others
where the need is real whether the
difficulty is not In some national
characteristics that do us no credit.
In farming sections where the In
dustry is well established and the
farmers responsible it is a decided
question whether there Is any need
for special farmers banks. We speak
from some personal observation in
two sections--one In Western New
York, the other in Eastern Ohio.
There national banks deal largely
with farmers; but the agriculturists
are more largely depositors than Dor
rowers, and some of them are bank
stockholders and directors. In such
sections, unless there is nearby man
ufacturing interest, the banks have to
find employment for their funds by
sending them to New York or other
large cities.
In newer farming districts, where
the farmer is trying to build up a
farm. they have less money and more
demand for it. But il is to be borne
in mind that loan to farmer whose
solvency may depend on his getting
good crop and therefore be at the
mercy of either drought or untimely
rains, is highly speculative And
loans on farm mortgages were dis
credited years ago by the reckless
practice of loaning on inflated values
and when drougths or grasshoppers
came. leaving the lender with farm
on his hands that no one would occu
Ply. much less pay interest on.
There is a model of farmers coop
erative banks or credit systems in
Germany which is decidedly interest
ing in this discussion, There the
nttutd ltCppliolbiiiNg otthitA W -
gaEizing the farmers of given sec
tion in a small bank. all the members
being liable to an unlimited degre =
This united liability obtains ere lit
which the farmers could not get indi-
vidually, and in Germany it has the
effect of making them watch each
other so that the borrower shall not
weaken his loan by neglect or bad
management. But the principle of un-
limited liability has had an unfortun-
ate experience in this country We
question very much whether solvent
business men would consent 10 go in
TO a banking concern where they
might be levied on to pay all of it's
debts in case of failure.
Certainly before plans like these
can succeed we must sharply reform
some of the qualities that have been
unpleasantly prominent in the past
