PERKINS AND PATRIOTISM

George w. PcrklnS Is unjust in the great captaIns of industry and the railroad magnatrS and iinancicrs of this country when he complains that in the past they have neglected to devote their attention to public affairs.
 What we greatly need now, not only amoug our men in pub lie life, who arc supposed to be servants of the people, but also among such of our people as have wealth and leiSuure. What we need is revival of the patriotism of this latter class to point where they will give not only of their means but of their time, their earnest thought and effort io our country's problems.
 Mr. Hartman was a patriot. bid he not give of his means and his time when in 1901, at Mr. Roosevelt's instance, he raised S260,00O for the republican cam paign fund and so helped to. change, as he declared, 5O,000. in this city alone? Was he not also ready to give up his time aiding Mir. Roosevelt in making railroad recommendations to con- EreSS?
 John ID. ArchbOld was patriot. Did he not give earnest thought and effort--and $25O,000 in Stan dard Oil cash besides--in 1904 to the problem of keeping MT. roosevelt in the White house for second term?
 F.. T. St0Lesbury was patriot. Did he not, as representative of "the Morgan interests that have been so friendly to uS,' give of his means and his time to the couniry's problems when in t90i he acted as campaign collector in Philadelphia for the Roosevelt fund?
 Mr. Perkins was a patriot. though mndesiy fOrbidS him to. boast of il. Did he not give his earnest thought and effort ln inc rOun.ry'S problems when in i@ni' he turned SIS, 7U2 50 af the New York Life policy holders mGTry| into the Roosevelt campaign fund which the court of appeals hc .. clarcd to De an improper rXprn- diiIrr. and Chief Judge Gull | sad was just as much larceny as il would br iO | so inc money [, ouy.a woman lrcklarc?
 The Steel Trust was pat! Uiic organization. II rcgula ly contributed money up In 1906 t, have the right kind of prrsiGcn; and the right kind of congress in Washington. So were the rail- roads patriotic and the banking and protected interests all patri- OIir. They gave thought and rf fnri and rh"rkS fn tn" rnrInIry'S problems when lhr RooScVrll campaign collector came around.

BUCKWHEAT YIELDS.

Applying to the present acreage and
condition the ten-year average of de-
probation until harvest the Chicago
Record-Herald interprets the govern
ment figures as indicating a yield OF
buckwheat this year of 16. 900. 900
last year OF $4,000. 000-a crop this
year over 10 per cen less than last.
Concerning the report 1t says:
In the whole list of important agri-
cultural items there 10 not one. except
a trifing difference Of 2.00O.0 900 BUSH
els in buckwheat. that has not pro.
duced more bountifully this year than
last"
With an acreage slightly larger than
last year (two-tenths of one per cent)
and a condition five and one-haif
points better 1854 now-82.9 last
Year, 1t does not seem logical that the
growing buckwheat crop should be es-
timated this year as now promising q
yild 2.0OO.0 600 bushels Cor over 10 per
cent? less than last year. However.
this this anomaly y yasl is Is explained sd,,sS+ by the fset
seeding resulted in a condition August
! below normal. while the months Of
August and September brought q
marked improvement in the condition
of the crop, the final yield being con-
siderably In excess Of the yield esti-
mated on the basis Of the condition
August l. so that last years crop was
ton. While the conditions this year
have been exactly the reverse Of those
a year ago. Seeding has ben follow.
ed by the WY most favorable weather
conditions so that 1t Is reasonable to
suppose that the present high condi-
ton will show at least tho ten.year
average Of depreciation up to harvest.

Cottagers Rush To
Rescue Young Bather
From Catching Cold

Newport, r. l.. Sept. 3.-Fearing
that a certain Venus-like young wo-
man of the cottage settlement would
take cold, owing to the small amour
of bathing suit in which she had at
tired herself, there was a rush of cot
tagers to the strand at Bailey's
beach yesterday.
The cottagers were both masculine
n feminine. but three elderly wo-
men beat the men in the race, and,
wrapping the modern Aphrodite in a
raincoat escorted her to a bath house
they assited her to put on her
street clothes and started her safely
on her way home. The name of the
young woman is an open secret but
not for publication.
Some other strenuous but slightly
more voluminous bathing suits have
appeared at Bailey's Beach. which is
quite secluded and only to be entered
by the golden key. Night. morning
and afternoon bathing parties have
been common. while swimming con-
tests after dinner or after an even
ing's dancing have come to be mere
matters of course.
There are morning. noon. after
noon and evening styles in bathing
suits. and the standards set by the
leaders are vigorously adhered to-.
And it is announced that next season
the bathing costumes will be less
heavy than those nov in use.
