That race suicide is encouraged by
socialism is the opinion of Prof Ju-
Illus Wolf, the economist of Breslau
University. He attempts to prove
this by studying the election returns
of different parts of Germany in COM
parison with the birth rate. He finds
that the birth rate in Berlin in 1908
was only 239 per 900 of the popu-
lation, and that &C per cent of the
Berlin voters supported socialist can
didates in the previous year. For the
whole province of Brandenburg, the
birth rate was 2S4 and the socialist
vote was 4O:6 per cent. On the other
hand, in the province of West Prus-
sia the birth rate was $50 and the
socialist vote only Z per cent, while
in Posen the figures were 29.7 per
thousand and per cent respectively
Prof. Wolf does not contine himself
merely to demonstrating his opinion
with statistics, but also tries to show
that the irreligious or atheistic opin-
ions of most socialists are unfavora-
BILE TO the production of large fami-
lies.
The socialists meet Prof. VOLTS
views by pointing out that a COM
parison of the two almost purely ag-
ricultural provinces of West Prussia
and Posen with Berlin is unfair and
misleading, since it is a well known
fact that socialist opinions spread
most easily in crowded cities with
large industrial establishments where
the struggle for existence is sharp.
Moreover. this struggle itself, say the
socialists. makes for fewer marriages
and fewer births.

at least have ordered the trusts to
dissolve and in amazement, what do
we see? Since the decision OF the
supreme court ip the Standard Oil
case their stocks have gone up steadi-
~ until they have reached the highest
price ever known. The price of oil
has not been reduced, and the average
oil buyer fails to see where he has
been benefited.
The same is true of the tobacco
trust. They are doing business just
as before the order of the courts.
Their stocks were not reduced and
the price of tobacco has not been
reduced.
Some cases against the transporta-
ton companies have been won and
numerous laws have been passed re-
garding railroads. At the present
time we believe the railroads are
making an honest effort to obey the
laws, but we fail to see that either
freight or passenger rates are ma
terially reduced. The people will
learn in time that they are capable Of
transporting their own goods to
market. They will become business
men enough to not only grow their
crops but carry them to market and
sell them.

The political situation so far as 1t
pertains to the nomination of presi-
dent was never SO badly mixed as at
present. Here it is within two months
of the meeting of the republican con-
vention at Chicago, and the republican
party is badly split. At the present
it would seem as though Mr.. Taft was
sure to be nominated. Mr.. Roosevelt
has failed to attract the support that
his friends believed he would, and as
the machinery of the party is all
under Taft managers, they are adding
delegates right along. Unless there
is revolution in the party in favor
of Roosevelt. Mr.. Taft's nomination is
assured. 1t is unfortunate that the
progressives of the party should be
divided between Mr.. La Toilette and
Mr.. Roosevelt We still believe that
ii they could present an undivided
front to the voter that either could be
nominated The democratic party is
as badly divided as is the republican.
Mr.. Clark at present seems to be in
the lead although the Harmon people
are doing the most work and claiming
the most votes. 1t is not improbable,
however, that as the democratic nomi
nee must receive two-thirds majority
at the convention, that dark house,
probably Mr.. Bryan, will eventually
be nominated.

the dissatisfied laborers we're receiv-
ing from 81. 80 to 81. 90 per day. Prob
ably an average of $50 per month.
When it is considered that there is
always more or less loss OF time and
that many of these have families to
support it doesn't take a statesman
to figure out the cause of discomfort.
How these questions are to be solved
eventually no one can tell, but that
they must be solved is a certainty.
The laborer, of course, claims that
the employer gets an undue profit
from his labor. This has been true
until late years. Since the business
slump in 1907 it is doubtful If one
employer in a dozen has been able to
make more than small per cent on
his investment. To increase the wage
schedule in many cases would mean
absolute ruin.
In this great labor struggle the
farmer is fortunate indeed. The
people must be fed, and what they
eat must come from the farm. More
people must till the soil and fewer
flock to the cities, and at the same
time the consumer must be relieved
of so many burdensome middlemen.
Statistics show that the farmer re-
ceives only about thirty five cents Of
the consumers 100 cents. Sixty-five
cents then 20 to the middlemen ana
transportation companies. This is
too great difference and there can
be no real progress until the consumer
gets more for his money and the pro-
Queer more for his product.
The greatest success along this line
will be closer cooperation of the
producer and the consumer. Our
most successful cooperative societies
are those of our foreign population.
Necessity has taught them the need
of cooperation, while the average
American is too independent in his
ideas.

GOVERNMENT IS DEFEATED.

The trust prosecutions of the govern
ment have received serious set back.
After practically ten years of prepare
ton, and at an enormous expense,
the trial against the Chicago meat
packers has resulted in defeat of the
government. Some of the brainiest
men in the governments service have
been working on these cases and have
accumulated a mass of evidence that
no living man, not specialist could
digest The Chicago jury which heard
the evidence we're not business men
nor trained in legal learning. They,
perhaps, were not capable of segregat-
ing the evidence, but whether they
we're or not the government could not
prove to their satisfaction that the
packers were organized in restraint of
trade.
While the government has lost
the case We believe that the people
have won a real victory. The packers
their status under the law has been
fixed, and to be honest about it they
are not so greatly to blame. The
American people acquiesced in the
formation of great trusts for years
and they believed it was good thing.
They were lead to believe. and did
believe, that consolidation Of capital
under single control would greatly re-
duce the cost of necessities to them.
They now learn that such is not the
case. The savings went into the
pockets Of the managers, and not in
the pockets of the consumer. The
big trusts were believed to be a good
thing until experience showed that
many of them we're using their power
to crush out competition.
Finally the rebellion against them
became so pronounced that the Sher
man antitrust law was passed. Even
after its passage it was a long time
before there was public sentiment
enough to enforce any of it's provi-
sions. In the sugar trust cases the
government met with similar results.
After all, the average American
citizen begins to doubt whether all of
this trust prosecution is of any value.
1t is said the government spent a
million and half dollars in fees to
high priced lawyers to try the
Standard Oil and tobacco cases. They
won a victory in these cases as the
American people are told. The courts

Through the efforts of President
Paulhamus of the Puyallup & Sumner
Fruit Growers's association, the pub
lie service commission has ordered an
express rate of one-half of the old
rates on all points within hundred
miles of Puyallup. We understand
the railroads and express companies
did not fight this proposition serious
ly, but are willing to do everything
they can to help the berry grower.
This should be great boost for the
big berry cannery at Puyallup.

BUSINESS IS IMPROVING.

The business situation seems to be
really clearing after many months of
depression. Wall Street has shown
more activity in the last twenty days
than any time during the past three
years. Lumber mills on the Pacific
Coast are showing the first signs OF
real improvement for long time.
Orders are coming in, in increased
numbers and prices are stiffening.
For the first time in many months
the umbermen are feeling optomistic.
The railroads are also showing activity
in extending their branches, and are
placing large orders for supplies,
especially with the Iumbermen. Ii
the political situation was cleared up
we believe 1912 would be the best
year since 1906.
The economic conditions of the
country are far from satisfactory
however, and may we'll give thinking
men cause for deep study. The In
dustrial Workers of the World,
society of laboring men, has been
giving the Pacific Northwest manu-
facturers a great deal of trouble, in
some places overpowering the police
departments. and having its own
way. The big mills of Grays Harbor
have been tied up the last month by
this body of men and their activities
have extended to the coal mines in
Canada. This society is made up
largely of socialists and is gaining
recruits so rapidly that they must be
seriously considered in all phases of
the labor situation. Though a COM
paratively small body of men they
we're strong enough to practically shut
down all the saw mills of Grays Har-
Dor employing 1000 men. The city
administrations of Aberdeen and
Hoquiam were unable to cope with
the strikers and private citizens in
great numbers were sworn in to keep
order. In some instances, the for
eigners, especially the Greeks and
Italians, were loaded in box cars and
sent from the city. This temporarily
relieved the situation. but did not
cure it. In the first place the citizens
are violating our treaty relations with
other nations, and in any event it
simply postpones difficulty which
must sooner or later be solved
The high cost OF living is terrible
reality to men who are accustomed to
working for such wages as only sup
plies the necessities of life. Most of

question is whether the national COM
mittee of the Republican party had
the absolute power to form a tempo
rary roll for this convention which
can only be changed by a report from
a committee of this convention, DIT
whether this convention itself shall
say who shall sit in it.
If it is in the power of twenty
seven men to say who shall sit in this
convention arbitrarily and without
appeal. then We have reached the end
of representative government in this
country.
A round of cheers greeted this at
tack on the national committee. The
delegates listened 10 Hadley with
quiet attention.
We know but one government
in this country" he said, govern
ment by political parties.
If a political convention can be
controlled by a group of men with
in the party, then have We establish

Governor Hadles said he had
ample precedent for the action he
demanded.
In 1864, he said the convention,
in its own right TO conduct its own
business in its own way" overthrow
the national committees selection of
a temporary chairman.
That convention declared that the
national committee was the servant
and not the master of the people in
the party" he said, Hadley also gut
! ed as a precedent a desision of Geo.
F. Hoar of Massachusetts,. presid-
ing in the convention in 1880, who
recognized a motion to amend the
temporary roll by substituting dele
gates.
II offer you, Mr.. Chairman" con-
tinued Governor Hadley. ''the pre-
cedent of the convention of 1864.
which for a second time nominated

tention the statement of Senator
Hoar at that time that a motion to
amend the temporary roll was in

But coneeding for the sake of ar
gument the contention of the other
side that this is entirely a new ques-

ing when thrifty young timber not yet
large enough to cut will have good

The care Of this crop causes little ex-
pense, and the wood lot offers one
means of solving the problem Of how
to keep good farm help profitably en-
ployed all the year.
The three principal aims In caring
for the wood lot should be to keep the
ground thoroughly covered with trees.
to have only the best possible trees and
to make them grow rapidly.
In order to make timber grow fast
care should be taken in choosing the
kinds Of trees to raise. the soil should
be kept moist and mellow by protect
ing the leaf mulch, and the best trees
should be given a fair amount of light
by making improvement cuttings.
Methods of starting new trees either
to fiji openings now In the woods or to
replace timber to be harvested are as
follows: BY sprouts. by seed falling
from neighboring trees. by sowing seed
broadcast and by planting trees or seed.
