Price of Farm Products.

If prices of farm products
had taken a tumble just after
the election it would have been
charged up to the success of
Presidential Wilson. We
have told our farmers again
and again that the products of
the farm are invariably affect
ed by supply and demand, and
from no other cause. Millions
of people more than were here
twenty years ago must now
be fed, and there is practically
only the same number, or less.
of farmers to grow for them. If
there is a great crop of potatoes
grown. as is the case this year.
then potatoes are bound TO
bring less than when the supply
is limited. 1t doesn't matter
who is President, the result will
be the same. This applies to
corn, wheat, potatoes, eggs, etc.
Mr.. Taft was President two
years ago when farmers re-
ceived lsc. per bushel for their
late potatoes, and Roosevelt was
President when potatoes We're
worth so little that the farmers,
in many cases refused to dig
them: also, it can be truthfully
stated, that under the same
Presidents the highest prices
have been reached. They were
not to blame for the low prices.
nor were they responsible for
the high prices received.

Keeping Them Off The
Tracks.

So many persons have been
run down by trains-50, 900 kill
ed and 81 900 injured, accord
ing to the reports-that the rail
roads are making a systematic
effort to impress upon the peo-
pie the danger of walking on
railroad tracks. Warning signs
and trespass notices are disre-
garded. So the Pennsylvania
Railroad has begun literally a
campaign of educaticG, going
into schoolrooms and explain
ing to children the risks they
run when venturing on the rails
and cross-ties. In some places
framed signs have been put up
in schoolrooms and teachers
and railroad men have lectured
the pupils. In this way it is
estimated that half million
school children have been reach
ed. An educational campaign
like that ought to be productive
of good results.

Almost Beyond Belief.

The evidence i'm the trial of
the alleged dynamiters is start
ling Dynamite carried around
in suitcases and market baskets.
Routes mapped out and gangs
shifted from one place TO an
other; a line of destruction
breaking out now in the Mid
die States, then on the Pacific
Coast. Men marked for murder,
factories and buildings for de-
struction. II must make even
William j. Burns shudder to
think how near he came to be-
ing blown up at his desk.
The climax of this trial which
has been going on for more
than a month, is the disclosure
of the alleged plot to blow up
the Panama Canal locks and
the plan to destroy Los Angeles.
Astounding as it was, the
confession Of the McNamaras
as To the destruction of the Los
Angeles Times office seems TO
have disclosed only one little
section of a vast conspiracy
that stretched over twenty
States. The defense may be
able to disprove the testimony
so far offered. But unless Ortie
McManigal is the most colossal
perjurer on record we have had
disclosed in the dynamite trials
a conspiracy that is almost un-
believable in a civilized coun-
try.

Senator Rayner Dead.

In the death of Senator Ray
ner this State has sustained a
great loss and the Democratic
party even a greater one. Sen
ator Rayner was a man of great
oratorical ability and his place
in the Senate will be hard to
fill. 1t is safe to say that Gov
ernor Goldsborough will not be
able to ill it with man OF Mr..
Rayner's ability. Or rather. he
will not do so. There are some
men of ability in the Republi-
can party, but they do not hap
pen to have a fat pocketbook
with which to finance Guberna-
torial campaigns. 1t is report
ed that the Governor is under
obligations and that he will
make his appointment with the
object of discharging such OBJ
legations. We trust that such is
not the case.

His To Fill, But Not His
To Give Away

Baltimore sun
In the State campaign of last
year The Sun many times point
ed out that the fight between
German and Goldsborough for
Governor was of much more
than State Importance and that
the result might easily be of
vital national significance.
Part of this papers support Of
Mr.. German was because of
this fact, the truth of which is
driven home by the death Of
Senator Rayner.
1t now seems that Maryland
IA State that gave Woodrow
Wilson more than $4,000 Demo-
cratic plurality-is going to
send protection Republican
TO the United States Senate.
where the conditions are such
that this one vote may en-
danger the whole tariff pro-
gram. This makes the result
of the State campaign of far
greater national Importance
than was predicted, giving to
it literally a worldwide signifi-
canoe.
1t is, perhaps, too much TO
expect a Republican Governor
TO appoint a man to the Senate
who will really represent the
people on the great and vital
question of the tariff. Perhaps
il would not be right for him
to do so, as fair warning of
what his election would mean
in matters of this sort was Civ
en- the people of the State dur
ing his campaign.
But we have a right to APP
peal to the Governor to remem-
Der that this chair in the SEN
ate which he is now called up
on to fill is Maryland's chair,
and that it is his to fill. but not
his to give away.

More Than Great Senator

Isidor Ravner. of Maryland
was more than a great Senator.
He was a great Democrat also,
and he was a great Democrat
well placed. In his death the
country loses statesman of
ability and character, and the
party to which he adhered is
deprived of the counsel of one
of its most distinguished mem
bers in a position where he will
be greatly missed.
Senator Rayner had the true
conception of public service.
Well grounded in principle, he
had courage as well as convic-
ton, industry as we'll as sense
of duty. and breadth Of view as
well as singleness of purpose.
In the Democratic rehabilita-
ton which he barely lived 10
see he was "a most important
factor.
BY an accident of politics Mr..
Rayner's successor will be an
appointed Republican, but close
as the new Senate may be polit-
ically, we do not agree with
those who predict that this
fatality will nullify in that body
the recent popular verdict.
Ten Independent Republican
Senators hold over, most of
them men who have long co.
operated with Democrats for
better government and may be
expected to do so again. From
several of the States now nomi-
nally controlled by Republicans,
in which Senators are to be
chosen this winter, conditions
promise the election of more
than one man, irrespective of
party name, who will Loyalty
assume the tasks TO which the
last years of Mr.. Rayner's life
