SUPPLY AND DEMAND.

It is an indisputable fact that the rule of supply and demand directly af- fleets the prices of all food products; and in days when there were no cold 1torage plants and men were less giv- ln to tricks, things because of an over abundance became very much cheaper bhan they do in these early days of he twentieth century
 However, since the middIemen have ways to decrease the supply, by either destroying a part or by preserving it In cold storage, they have managed to equalize the supply of a great many good things and keep it under the demand, which, of course, keeps the price at a higher minimum than it used to be and makes the average price much higher
 There is no getting away from the fact that shorter days and higher wages make eerything cost more, and the supply of workers being much less than the demand diminishes the amount of the output and gives an increase to the price because of the lively demand
 There is nothing has more to do with the ups and downs of prices than lhe relation of quantity to the people b which it is to be distributed for a brice.

DEFECTIVE GAME LAWS.

There is no doubt Senator McLean's s bill for the uniform protection of game birds is appreciated by honora- ble sportsmen in all parts of the coun- try.
 The way they are slaughtered is shown by the following statement from a correspondent to the Philadel- phia Record, who said: Last Satur- day two men killed one hundred ducks. sixty of them canvasbacks, and two others. shooting from a blind, bagged three hundred on another day the birds, at this mating period, be- Ing almost as tame as chickens so that the flocks, when fired into. move only few yards. Stories that are essentially similar come from the New Jersey shooting grounds. All of them tend to anger a sportsman almost be- yond the limit of endurance.
 Tn Massachusetts, Maine New Hampshire and New York. as the case stands, ducks are safe from the guns as they wing their way north in March and April; but in New Jersey, Mary land, Pennsylvania and Delaware more ducks are killed during the spring flights northward than in all the rest of the year. Shooting is permitted as late as April 10 in New Jersey, Penn gylvania and Maryland, and until April 15 in Delaware. Ducks are absorbed in their housekeeping preparations by that time and easy marks for even poor shots. Perhaps the interruptions slayers who slaughter them do not know, or do not care, that every duck then killed means the cutting off of six from the next falFs supply"
 It is to be hoped the states will give better protection to our game birds; and that congress will enact a law which can be enforced.

Q.-An able minister recently re-
 marked that scientific research in re- gard to the formation of the earth, is
 coming more and more into agreement
 with the Genesis account of creation.
 How can this be when scientists de- clare it required thousands of years,
 while the Bible says that it was all ac-
 compishsd in six days? (E. S.)
 Answer-The term day is used in the Scriptures, in a, number of in stances with the signification of an epoch of time, and not necessarily a twenty-four hour day: just as in the vernacular, We say in Washington s day." or in rh" day when Greece was supreme In Genesis ii, 4, it is stat ed that all the work of creation was 1 executed in one day" meaning, of 1 course, that in the time or epoch of six 1 creative periods the work was accom- 1 plished. The Scriptures declare that ] God rested on the seventh day, and the 1 evidence is clear and strong that this | day of rest is seven thousand years in | length This would imply, therefore, | that each of the creative days was l likewise 1000 years, or 42.000 years for 1 the entire period of creation. Science l is in thorough agreement with this, the reasonable Scriptural teaching. Those out of harmony with it are unsclentific

WHAT THE PRIMARIES SHOW.

There are peculiar statements com Ing from the seeker of a third term in the White house, as the primary re- suits are determined in several of the important states. They all indicate the character of the man who utters them and show how stilted and egotistic are the sentiments of him who feels himself called by the people Be- cause the people elect delegates for anyone except Roosevelt he can see no earthly reason for it and sets up the pitiful cry of fraud the last-dite stand of a beaten man,
 In North Dakota he was beaten and laid it to the faulty primaries and the democrats, though his pet scheme of presidential primaries was in use, In Indiana he secured only a minority of the delegates and declared it was brought about by foul means, and promised to carry the wish of the peo- pie to the Chicago convention, main taining, despite the primaries, that he was the one wanted.
 The New York show down, almost unanimously for Taft, results in a pro- longed cry of fraud and outsiders, all indicating tEe state of nervous anger and collapse of hope, which is ap- preaching with the realization that his quest is a failure.
 New Hampshire and Colorado have declared for Taft. so that Roosevelt is not getting the solid west or portion of New England that he made claim to.
 He is finding on the opening that his longed for gladhand is turning into a cold reception, the LaFollette delegates even preferring Taft to Roosevelt.
 In strong contrast to the ex-presi- dents antics over the way the people are turning him down, is the steady and persistent campaign of President Taft It is not characterized by fire works and red-hot volleys of threats, he whined not because he failed to get better than third place in North Da- kota, and uttered no complaint because delegation of governors failed to call on him to get him to be a candi- date. He has pushed along conscien- tiously and honestly, as during his ad- ministration, that the peoples wishes may prevail and the votes of conf dence in Taft, which the primaries everywhere indicate. give ample as surance of his strength and the choice of the people.

HAT IN THE RING AND MONEY
 IN THE CAMPAIGN.

It appears to be a fact that Mr. RocseVelts campaign is well financed if the people did call him, and with &15,OO0 sent to meet the expenses of the Indiana convention, it is not strange that the results are very dis appointing. The Baltimore American says:
 Money is to be used to tempt weak men to swear to false allegations for the sake of getting seated Roosevelt adherents, This waste of money is deplorable, not simply on account of the waste, but because it represents the vitiation of politics upon the high plane of selecting candidates for the highest office in the land
 'The virtual indictment to fraud and false swearing that this Roosevelt fund represents is a disgrace to all decency and all outrage aganist the republican party and the American people. The strenuous efforts put forth in Indiana to get for Roosevelt what the party adherents were not disposed to give him will react upon the chances of the former president, As a mat ter of fact he is so hopelessly left be- hind in the race and the so-called Roosevelt states are so weak in theif support of him that his further can didacy will be positively retrogres- sive.'
 And The American further says: "The man who seeks to dominate American conditions by his person ality has lost the magnetism of the past because he has turned from the republican principles that alone could attract and hold to him the party to follow the ehimeras that one must adhere to in the promotion of personal power. Not all the money lavishness of tho Roosevelt promoters can influ- once the verdict of the people. The Roosevelt campaign is a failure"

NOT A SECRET.
kathryn punne,s Story


 It is said that in Europe when a woman finds a remedy that does her great good, she keeps it a secret for she does not want any other woman to be able to rival her charms.
 American women are different. When they find a good remedy, they want other women to get the benefit too, so they tell their friends.
 Miss Kathryn Dunne of N. Y. City is one of these. She says, When I was in a weakened condition last spring took Vinol with the greatest benefit and I recommend it highly. Five of my friends are now taking Vinol on account of the benefit I received"
 When you are rundown and weak, you need better blood and more strength, and Vinol will give them to you. It is a delicious cod liver and iron preparation without oil and re- stores untold thousands of pale, ner- vous, broken-down people to health each year. We give you back your money if Vinol does not help you Broadway Pharmacy, c, c. Engler, Norwich, Conn.

One of the most important questions
 with which Yale athletics has ever
 been concerned has developed this
 week in the matter of revising the
 athletic constitution, in so doing abol
 ishing many of the present individual
 associations and boards by merging them under one head. This head is
 the Yale Athletic association, and the
 present football baseball, and track
 associations, the Yale financial union,
 the athletic committee and it's advis ory board are done away, according to the proposed changes, and all their powers and property transferred to the
 Yale athletic association. The system
 of choosing athletic managers is one
 of vle most noteworthy points dealt
 with in the new constitution. By this
 plan, it is hoped to better the athletic relations of the Sheffield scientific
 school and the academical department and to do so the men are to be chosen
 under 6 competitive basis.
 The new constitution has been given a thorough discussion during the week and President Hadley. Dean Jones,
 Walter Camp and others have ex- pressed themselves as Thoroughly in favor of it. The question of adopting it will be put to the university at a
 mass meeting next Monday and two
 thirds vote will carry it.
 The old system of governing athlet- ics has long been felt to be too cum
 beTsome and complex, and it is be-
 lieved the new arrangement gives a far more efficient method of filling the
 managerships of looking out for the financial interests of the various branches, and on bringing these into a nearer relationship with each other and consolidating university interests. In connection with the athletic con- stitution, the subject of athletics for all has sprung up this week with re- newed vigor. A new system of boat club work and rowing has been pro- posed whereby all men interested in rowing, whether of university calibre or not, may come out, and class base ball has been planned along some what the same lines. In regard to ath- letics in the past, Edwin Oviatt, edi- tor of the Alumni Weekly, says: "Our system has been, in effect, to l develop university and class teams and crews, and to leave it to the average
 man to get his exercise largely by
 rapping his heels on the bleachers, or as best he can What has been wanted has been at one and the same time to i develop our intercollegiate athletic
 laaderships and develop general under 1 graduate sports. The two aims are
 not incompatible. they depend on each ! other"
 | Tine return to graduate coaching in rowing and baseball, the increased | playground space at Yale field, and the l revised athletic constitution will be important steps in reaching this end | MT. Oviatt believes

Dean Jones, in discussing the cleo tive system at Yale this week. stated intention is to encourage students to liberal preparation during the first two
 years Of the college course studies for
 these years being extensive, and each
 student must, from the three main di- visions of tEe curriculum select one linguistic subject, one mathematical or scientific subject and one historical or philosophical subject, In addition to these three subjects, two others may
 be selected; in freshman year the con tinuation of some work offered for en- trance must be maintained and in sophomore year three of the subjects studied in freshman year must be con- tinued. It is evident. then, that for one-half of the college course, the studies cover a considerable range of subject matter.
 During the junior and seniors years, lntensification of studies is required a major and d correlated minor being necessary for graduation. But as these seldom exceed 15 hours of studies, one-half of the students time may be devoted to fee electives. If man expects to study medicine or engineer ing, It is almost absolutely necessary for him to devote himself to preIimi- nary work preparatory to these pro-

SHALL WE HAVE WAX VIII MEXICO?

q HALL a few accidental shots coming across the Texan border
- in an engagement between the Mexican bellgerents be
treated by our government as a casus bei and made the
pFetext for an invasion of Mexican soil by our troops? Uncontra
dicted Washington dispatches for the last fortnight have asserted
as much. President Taft is represented as having been Influenced
to that course by his near advisers. The step once taken cannot be
recalled, nor could our army halt in its march short of the Mexican
capital, for to the original proyocahon there would surely be added
Others vastly more serious. In short. we would have on our hands
a savage war with all its horrors. Representative Sulzer, of the
foreign affairs committee of the House, declares that our govern
ment should not under any circumstances permit itself TO be forced
into Intervention. Circumstances might arise to justify this step,
SO we would qualify that declaration, but none is yet in sight, nor
is there any that seems possible at the present time. There are
sinister influences urging intervention. There are soulless interests
that see big profit for themselves in a war that would serve to
effect another dsmemberment of Mexico and put Lower California
and chihuahua under the American flag. But what would be the
cost in blood and treasure to the American people? Representative
Eulzer well says that intervention would spell calamity.

THE REFORM OF COURT PROCEDURE.

cTa HE legislative session is nearing its close and none of the bills
introduced for a reform of the procedure in the courts has
as yet been reported. Hearings on them are to be given
next week by the judiciary committees of the two houses. There is
a radical difference of opinion in regard to the bills among law
yers, and it is evident that their defeat would not be regretted by
some of the lawyers in the Legislature. The failure of the bills
at this session by reason of the opposition of lawyers, or for any
other reason, would leave an exceedingly bad taste in the public
mouth. The average man knows that the delays and uncertainties
of the law, due to the complicated procedure of the courts, inure
to the profit of the practitioner, and he will see selfish deliberation
i'll the opposition that would defeat the proposed reform. People
everywhere are becoming aroused to the abuses represented in the
administration of justice. Radical remedies have been adopted in
several States. while there is strong agitation in other States. The
question is looming up in national politics. The bar in New Jersey
can wisely urge upon the Legislature such reform as may be ac
connnlished by statute. If it is denied the people are likely soon to
reform the judicial system at its roots.

ENGLISH COAL STRIKE NAY BE INTERNATIONAL

NGLANDS great coal strike, unless it can be ended by sub,
IL mission to the demands of the miners, or by government
Intervention, is likely to assume international aspects. 1t
may have important manifestations in the United States and on the
continent of Europe. French miners are already talking of a sym
pathetic strike. international troubles may arise when foreign
markets are resorted to for coal supplies. England uses bituminous
coal, so the threatened strike by the anthracite coal workers in the
United States cannot have much bearing on the English strike
situation, but our bituminOus coal miners and the dock laborers
might refuse to handle coal destined for England. Meanwhile the
strike situation in England must be one of the gravest apprehen-
sap. When a million men engaged in an industry upon which the
nation depends for its very existence refuse labor t. is an industrial
revolution. How can it be COPIED with in time to avert a calamity?
1t is up to the British government to say.
