THE CAUSE OF HIGH PRICES.

Trade and politics are two distinct
departments of life, and trade does not
set the pace for politics. or politics set
the prices Of labor or of goods in trade.
The relation of wages to prices is
what makes prices seem high or low
and with these politics has nothing to
do.
Politics can cheaper goods-can
lessen prices-by advocating economic
policies which destroy the confidence
Of manufacturers in the market be-
cause they menace the future profits
Of production. This stops production
and prevents labor from earning wages
hence, as cheap as things become,
idle labor cannot avail itself of the
cheapness, and thrift must spend it's
surplus to live until trade prospects
brighten and new wage scales are adj
justed TO make manufacturing profit
able: and as the buying power of
money has been increased this means
a lessening Of pay for all who work.
President Taft was right when he
said in his address accepting the nom
nation
The statement has been widely cir
culated and has received considerable
support from political opponents, that
the tariff act Of 1908 is a prominent
factor in creating the high cost Of liv-
ing This is not true A careful in
vestigation will show that the phe-
nomenon of increased prices and cost
Of living is world wide in its extent
and quite as much in evidence in 9TH
er countries of advanced civilization
and progressive tendencies as in our
own. Bitter complaints of the burden
IF Increased prices and cost of living
have been made not only in this coun-
try, but even in countries of Asia and
Africa. Disorder and even riots have
occurred in several European cities
because Of the unprecedented cost Of
food products. In our own country
changes have been manifested without
regard to lower or higher duties in the
tariff act of 1909. Indeed, the most
notable increase in prices has been in
the case Of products where. no duties
are imposed, and in some instances in
which they were diminished or re-
moved by the recent tariff act"
The democratic party has been twice
tried, and by its economic policies
paralyzed business, set labor to walk
ing the streets and impoverished the
country, leaving a big deficit when the
people again called the republicans to
power
History may repeat itself in 1912;
but those who bring about the condi-
tons Of distress will be sorry victims
Of their own mistakes before they can
be corrected.

THE JUDGE AND THE CITIZEN.

There is no reason why citizens
should not have the respect and con-
sideratiOn of the court, as well as the
judge, who expects it of the citizens.
Too many men on the bench clothe
themselves in conceit and counterfeit
dignity, and then in moments of anger
charge men under great provocation
with contempt of court and enter up
on prosecutions which are prosecutions
and which not infrequently prove to
be a game Of bluff to screen themselves
from their just deserts.
The man at the bar should have lib
erty to criticise any court that is I'M
justly delaying his case. piling up his
costs, to say nothing of his perplexi-
Ties, and making the court a place Of
injustice instead of impartial judg-
ment.
Judge Hanford of Seattle and Judge
Archibald Of Pennsylvania, the first
having resigned and the second hav-
ing been impeached for his offences,
were forced out of places they should
have honored instead of disgraced, by
one citizen who in each case had the
resolution and courage to show them
up.
A judge should not allow his sensi-
tiveness or his prejudices to prompt
him to use his position to suppress and
prosecute true citizenship and man
hood.
It wo1ld be wen if some other judge
was called IN to determine a case Of
alleged contempt Of court since some
things which look like contempt to the
public are justihable efforts to correct
wrong conditions and to make the
court hasten eases to judgment. Keep
ing cases in court, or allowing them to
be Kept there from 10 to 80 years, be-
cause there is money in them. is a
travesty upon Justice and makes q
near criminal of every man engaged
in IT,

IDEAS OF A PLAIN MAN
GENIUS.
BY DR.. Frank Crane.

1t is a genius that feeds the world.
Pastor Wagner makes this COMPARE
son; that, just as we all live upon the
earth, but it is necessary that plans
and animals transform the minerals
of the soil so that they assume forms
suitable for our nouFishment, so men
Of genius take the great facts of ma
ture and reduce them to such sub
stance as shall supply our souls.
Shakespeare says the poet gives "to
airy nothings local habitation and a
name"
Mr.. Bailey stated in the national leg
islature that without the farmers we
should all perish from the face of the
earth. Doubtless; but the genius is
no less necessary. Without him civil
ization would soon sink into "a war of
kites and crows"
1t is not labor nor the laboring man
that is essential to society; it is brains.
Remove every hand-worker from the
earth, and humanity could still live
for the workers could soon learn
to work. But remove all superior
minds, the inventive, resourceful, far
seeing, organizing minds, from the
world, and we should slip back into
barbarism at once.
False aristocracies, Of inheritance
and privilege. we might well dispense
with but the real aristocracy of SUI
perlor men and women is an eternal
necessity.
THE sentiments which decry the
Nncontestible values of men," says
Wagner, ARE symptoms Of moral rick
cts. We live by our capacity to rec
ognize and honor what Is great, and
we die by suspicion, skepticism and
the spirit Of disparagement."

MHAT HAs TAET DONE

Once IN a while we meet a preju-
diced republican who wants to know
what Taft has ever done to deserve
reelection.
He has stood by the. people as few
occupants OF the White house have
ne has meant what he said and worked
TO make his party keep its promises to
the people.
He has effected arbitration treaties
with Great Britain and France which
tells for peace and greater freedom
from war-a thing the people should
appreciate.
He has enforced the antitrust law
more vigorously than did his predeces-
sor. thus meeting tine demands of the
people Irrespective Of party.
He has established postal savings
banks for the citizens who preferred
them in all parts OF the country and
brought into public use $40, 900. 900 that
was lying idle.
He has established a bureau of mines
70 safeguard the lives Of miners.
He has reformed government BUSH
ness methods and set up an economy
and efficiency commission, saving mil
lions 10 the people
He has broken up an unrighteous
peonage system and practically de-
stroyed the white-slave traffic.
He has operated against all get
rich-quick schemes and denied the
use II the mails in their business Of
robbing thespeople.
He advanced safety appliance laws
for tho protection Of workmen.
He has had the postoffice department
put on a paying basis for the first time
in its history.
He has brought the workmen's COM
pensation act to a successful issue in
the supreme court.
In fact. he has set all the enemies Of
labor in the land bowling against him
like wild dervishes.
He has endorsed and advocated a
parcels post In the interests Of the
people.
His enemies say he isn't progressive
but he has advanced every interest of
the people and the government as no
predecessor ever did in a single term.
This is why he deserves a re-elec-
tiou.

The Roosevelt Family.

When Theodore Roosevelt was in his
first presidential term, the fact that
his mother was born Martha Bullock
in Georgia impressed a certain bright
old lady then living. and perhaps, if
not dead. living there still-in ham
let away up the St John river, a
hundred miles above the city Of st.
John, New Brunswick. The Bullock
boy who ran away from home, long
before the American civil war, was
her own cousin. Like Cortez, on a
peak in Darien. when he and his men
first saw the Pacific, she had a GER
tain wild surmise, and she wrote to
President Roosevelt, Georgia was
numbering region like New Bruins
wick. Why was it not likely that her
favorite cousin, the lost Bullock boy,
had taken thither his stalwart young
strength and his woodcraft, learned in
the forests of the north, and founded
a family among the pines of Georgia?
A brief, but genuinely delighted"
and very cordial letter from Mr..
Roosevelt. written In typewriter on
White house notepaper, and saying he
had no doubt it was the same family,
was the reward of the enterprising
old lady in the baekWoods of New
Brunswick, and is naturally treasured
in the family and destined to be an
heirloom.
Mr.. Roosevelt makes no bones Of
saying, in his Outlook, article. that his
mother had brother in the confed-
crate army. He does not, however,
bring it much further into the lime
light in which he loves to live him
self that his mother was an active
rebel propaganda in the early days
when men in Georgia were hating
between Joining secession and the
staying in the union, and that she
would mount her horse and away for
miles to reason with and round up
for the confederacy any such waver-
ers as she heard of. Nor does he take
special pains to mention that Liverpool
uncle of his mothers who mainly
collected the funds that fitted out the
Alabama, which literally swept the
white winged American commerce
from the ocean, never to return as
yet. This Bluenose Bullock strain
is well represented by the bull moose
addition to the Roosevelt arms. There
was the same sort of modesty, how
ever, in Roosevelt's comparing himself
to bull moose as in his comparing
himself to Lincoln. For the American
moose is the most colossal and most
picturesque member of the elk fam
lily. Our moose Is a giant" says Mr.
Hornaday Of the Bronx geological
park and it is impossible to appre-
ciate fully the great height and bulk
length of leg and size of antlers Of this
wonderful creature, without seeing a
full-groWn bull" The Colonel was
feeling particularly good" it will be
seen fro mthis. when he felt like a
bull moose-before the convention

AT one time when I was on the
range" says Abe Peters, there was
man in the camp who never took a
bath. He told me one day that the
last time he was in the water was
when he slipped off footlog and fell
into the creek, when he was years
old. A scale of dirt had accumulated
on his head that was over an inch
thick. One night while he was asleep
We soWed his head with alfalfa seed
and narrowed it in with a comb. He
never discovered what had happened
till the seed sprouted and a heavy
growth of alfalfa started all over his
head. As he never washed anyway,
We persuaded him to let the alfalfa
grow. 1t made a fine growth, as there
was enough perspiratlon to keep 1t ir-
rigated. The first crop blossonned in
May. The smell of the alfalfa in
bloom neutralized the other smells the
man carried around and while he look
ed sort of queer with a two-foot crop
of hay growing on his head he smelled
lot better than he had ever done in
his life before. We harvested four
crops off his head that season and out
Of the last crop threshed out over a
quart of fine alfalfa seed."-Kansas

The BRIGHT Side.

The following letter, says the Kan
sas state board of health bulletin,
would seem to indicate that the writer
belonged to the Society of Cheerful
Optimists, and has learned the art of
making lemonade out of lemons:
Il wish to thank the Kansas health
authorities for quarantining my fami-
" and me for six weeks recently be-
cause one of US had smallpox. During
that time my wife caught up with her
sewing; we had three square meals a
day, as no one came in, and she was
not permitted to leave; We enjoyed
six weeks of good nights sleep; and,
best Of all, cousin and four children
had arranged to visit us, saw the
smallpox sign on the door, and left
town so scared she will never come
back again. So for these and other
blessings we are very thankful for the
