In addition to the announcement
by Senator Kenyon that the Iowa
delegation would decline to take part
in any move toward leaving the con-
yention, there were persistent re-
ports that Missouri delegates had
come TO an agreement to remain IN
the convention hall regardless of
what happened this afternoon. 1t was
said that the Missouri delegation had
decided to support Governor Hadley
for the presidential nomination. and
TO vote for him on the first ballot,
but this rumor was denied by some
Of the Missouri delegates.
| "Colonel Roosevelts statement

something could not be done to avert

Wool Tariff Progress.

The passage of the La Toilette
wool tariff by the senate in place OF
the democratic measure passed by
the house restores the situation ap-
parently where 1t was a year ago.
But progress has nevertheless been
made, and there Is possibility of
fruitful issue. Since the presidents g
veto last year, the tariff board has
made its report, and he has the find
ings before him as a guide in de-
termining final action This being
the case, together with the fact that
the question has again been threshed
out in congress since the presidents
refusal to sanction haphazard re-
vision, a measure may emerge from
the conference that will pass muster
all around.
Another encouraging feature Of
the later proceedings is the general
acceptance Of the presidents plan
for a permanent tariff board. This
is a vindication Of his demand for
scientific tariff making, and II moth
ing else we're accomplished by the
controversy than to justify the wis
dom of that principle, the results
would be appreciable and notewor-
thy.

Hibernians' Fight on Socialism

Hibernians' Fight on Socialism.
One of the first and underlying
principles Of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians' nationwide war on So
cialism is a campaign Of education,
particularly among socialists. for II
passes current that many socialists
really do not understand what social
ism Is.
The Hibernians declare they are
entering upon the greatest campaign
ever waged against this propaganda
and will make It thorough, that they
will place socialism upon the defen-
sive and force It's votaries to meet
the issue squarely in the forum OF
candid thought. Such arraignments
as that delivered by the learned
Bishop Carroll Of Montana can be
neither evaded nor answered with
mere invective II socialism is to with
stand the onslaught.

Finger Print Evidence.

Some criminologists believe in the
adequacy OF finger print evidence,
30 much 80 that the Puddin' head
Wilson discovery has come to be put
into practice occasionally in this
day OF modern Jurisprudence. But
It Is evidence which, II seems, should
be used chiefly in a supplementary
sense, for until science comes nearer
being exact 1t 10 OF an intangible
character at best.
But touch Of uncanny humor at
taches to a jury's conviction upon
finger print evidence for the theft OF
an amulet belonging to q Pharoah
who lived some $500 years ago
That makes out such a rococo case
for twentieth century court of jus.
tice as to incline one forbearinely
to the view Of the lawyer for the
defense that "a professor Of science
Ton whose expert testimony alone
this verdict rested) is man who
can see mosquito on the Masonic
temple scratch his back with his
left hind leg. but cannot see the
mosquito"
Possibly the finger print is one oi
the lost arts that played a prime
part In the primitive justice, but II
Is quite safe to say that modern
courts will for some time vet decline
to accept finger prints except al
corroboration of other testimony.

BUMPER CROP OF CORN AND HOGS
Cheering Calculations Based on Bountiful Harvest
Wall Street Journal,

head against 1S,967,000 in 1911. and only
10, $4,000 head in the first half Of 1910. The
increasing number Of marketed hogs, ir
spite of lighter average weight at most
of these markets, compared with earlier
years, is of much significance in the
future of meat prices.
Undoubtedly the basis of the produc-
ton Of swine in the past three years
has been broadening. On January /,
1911, the recovery from the previous
year was at the rate of 1913 per cent.
On January !, 1912, the country had
65, 10000 swine, or about as in 1911 The
average price during 1911 was $3.50 for
the high at Chicago. The rapid increase
during 1911 was due to the extremely
high price of 1910, averaging for the high
at Chicago s11.20 per 100 pounds. The
impulse which these premium prices
gave to the hog industry In 1911 was
materially checked by last years small
corn crop of 1851. 100000; but the fifteen
markets in question received over 5000, ,OO(
head more than In 1910 to June 80.
In the past half year the increase was
100000 head more than In 1910, and the
ir dications are that for the latter hall
of this year and for the first half OF
1913 the country will receive an unpre.
