THE GREAT FARMING GAME.

The editor of the Independent
talked with two Glenturn farmers the
ether day and both seem to be max.
ing a snccess, altho their farming
plans are diametrically opposed to
one another. One OF these farmers
is ultra oIservative and the other is
a plungcr. The conservative farincr

five acres of potatoes and if anyone
would guarantee 10 give me Is cents

average Oil spring blowing being 23
bushels, yet can't say that made
any money from my small grain.
Take oats for example One had to
haul fourth of the crop to the ele-
vator to pay for the expense Of thresh

low price for grain considering that

the world. The only wonder is that
the price of wheat holds at around 70
cents. believe in good farming, but
think that this explodes the theory
Of the Better Farming association.
The greater the crop we produce, the
lower the price we may expect for it

THE LUNCH COUNTER In TRANSIT.

AS there are lunch counters as well as dining,
rooms at railroad stations why not also on trains
he Pennsylvania has the force of this query
which has been in the minds of travellers so often
and has placed a lunch counter car on one train
each way daily between New York and Philadelphia
If the experiment succeeds its extension by the
Pennsylvania and its general adoption by other roads
may be expected, for success will mean profit
Long ago the public arose in its wrath and COM
planned so loudly against the old type of station
restaurant, particularly the dyspepsia factory that
used to be common at junction points, that the COM
panies found it necessary TO make change for the
better. One line after another has also established
la carte service in its dining cars making it un-
necessary for the hungry traveller to order full
meal and pay for it or go without ANYTHING at all
Serving light luncheon in chair cars was still
another move in the right direction.
There would seem to be no reason WHY lunch
counter should not be at least as much needed bv
Passengers in transit by those waiting at sta
uon 10 take train. 1t is an American institution
which large numbers of people demand wherever
they are assembled, and travellers in dav coaches
who make up the bulk of those who pay fares. will
be especially likely appreciate it. At anv rate the
experiment. is we'll worth making.

THE SHERMAN LAW.

The Sherman law, President Wilson announces,
is not to be changed repealed 1t must be supple
lAented by measures necessary for enforcement of
| the general policy which it lays down.
1t has been apparent for many years that the
Sherman law could not be repealed The uncer-
tainty about conditions that would ensue if it were
wiped off the books, and the devotion of the COM
fluny to those general propositions which the law
outlines have made it manifest that better conditions
of corporation control must be effected by supple
mental measures rather than by revolutionary ones
1t is coming to be realized that the Sherman act
IS Isthsr declaration of general policy not code
of law Sor control of combinations and of great cor
poratioAs. 1t bears much the same relation to the
code of company laws that the country needs that
platform declaration in favor of tariff revision bears
TO complete schedule of new duties. The country's
business cries out for the early enactment of these
egulatory and supplemental measures and the Presi-
dent should be sustained in his insistence that when
the currency is of the way this shall be the chief
business before Congress.

THE COLLAPSE OF HUERTA.

" is probably mere matter of days until Vic
toriano Huerta will cease to be omnous figure IN
Mexico His troops have been dispersed at the
NORTH his officers ready for surrender his treas
ury is empty, and the civilized world has lined up a;
the back of Woodrow Wilson in insisting that he must
90. He will 60.
The next move after Huertas elimination must
be reorganization. In it this Government will of
necessity have important part; it ought to be a
directing part. If there is enough of real patriotism
and intelligence among the revolutionary leaders
'aey will make it easy, for they will ask the counsel
and help of the Washington Government in finishing
the great and difficult task that will remain to them
after Huerta has been brushed aside. If on the
other hand they quarrel and try to turn their coun-
tys crisis into an opportunity for individual profit,
the situation will be difficult indeed 70 handle. There
will be much need for the steady hand and
the clear vision, If we would prevent warfare de-
generating into mere anarchy.
