THE BONES OF COLUMBUS.

WASHINGTON Post: The suggestion
Of Assistant Secretary of State o.
borne that the remains Of the great
navigator. Christopher Columbus. be
rent through the Panama canal on
the frst ship to make the passage is
not without a touch Of the highest
mort of sentiment. However. 1t REEVES
dispute still unsettled regarding the
present location of the discoverer's
ashes.
1t is in a sense unfortunate that Co
lumbus left no anathema to be visited
upon the heads Of those who might
choose to NEEDLE with his final resting
place, as did the Swan of Avon Had
he done So, its whereabouts
could he more assuredly known. From
lo@nR-accepted historical evidences. his
BODY was removed from Valladolid
70 Seville in 1906. Thence 1t was
taken to the cathedral at Santo Do
minso in 1912, and afterward to the
Cathedral Of Habana in 1875 or 179O.
According to a revered authority, the
Encyclopedia Britannica, this was fol-
lowed nv it's return to the Cathedral
Of Seville in 1898.
At this point, or rather. somewhat
earlier, the authorities are in dispute.
The claim is made that a mistake oc-
CURED in the elimination of 1875, at
which time the remains taken to Ha-
bana were those Of the admirars son.
whereas his own coffin was left in the
crypt at santo Domingo, where 1t re-
mains until this day.
Evidences in support of the latter
contention are said to be of a conclu-
live character, as indicated by the in
scriptions on the inside of the top Of
the box. Still, 1t might be asked, Were
his chains buried with him? Such was
his request. and it is known from the
memoirs of his son that Columbus al
ways kept them with him as a me-
mento Of the gratitude of kings.
At all events. the proposition. If car
ried out will be in thorough keeping
with the main features Of h career
Of the unwearying wanderer whose
tenacity of purpose and limitless en-
thusiasm finally overcame n rebuns
of courts and the sneersW of the learned
OF his day. In death. as in life. he
seems doomed to have no permanent
resting place. The country which he
discovered was not given his name,
nor has the action for which he dis
covered it been the one to effect in
the New World its highest form of CIV
ilization. His own ideals, however,
were those Of the people who have
made this latest conquest over the
forces Of nature. and the triumphant
passage Of his remains through the
great ditch will have further symbolic
significance if the clanking chains Of
his undeserved ignominy make the
Tourney il company with his bones.

THE HIGH COST OF FOOD.

Minneapolis Journal: The funda-
mental cause of the high cost Of food
Is the relative increase Of consumers
over producers. Demand has exceed
ed supply. Urban population has
Increased over rural. Manufacturing
has increased in efficiency owe asri-
1 culture, and gained in market and
employment. Its laborers demand
more food from a decreasing proper
tion of rural producers.
Thirty years ago. the rural popula-
ton of the United States was seventy
DER cent Of the whole. Now it is a lit
tie over fifty per eel In thirty years
population has increased eighty-four
Der cent and improved farm lands six
ty-eight per cent In efficiency and
economy, rural production has i'm
proved, but far less than manufactur-
ing. In organization it has improved

much.
Thirty years ago the United States
fed the world from cheap food taken
from natural These have
diminished and grown more expensive.
Labor has shifted from country to city
for. larger reward, and demands more
food. Prices have risen with demand.
Exports have fallen off in proportion,
and domestic consumption grown.
Now we are sending out of the coun-
try three times Is much manufactured
products as food, and we must feed
the producers Of all this.
For ten years home demand for
food has been approaching supply,
and price has been rising steadily. New
raw fields of production have been oc-
cupied and cattle ranges have been
closed or abandoned before settlement.
Cost of food production has increased
with: demand. Meat feels this most,
IN spite Of industrial economies in
conversion Of cattle. The restoration
Of cheap ranges would only partly
meet the change Of conditions.
In history ill the remedy be
Found. Olde Countries have passed
through the same transition and ad-
austed themselves to it. The eco

The McGill girl gave dannning tes-
timony against Foreman Alexander,
claiming that he cursed her and jerk
ed her around and at other times
forced his attentions upon her.
After trying to stand the shoe fac
tory pace, the McGill girl had to be
taken to hospital broken in health
and spirit.
Pearl Briggs, 81, told about having
to sew 6 dozen shoe tips to make
up for one accidentally ruined. She
corroborated Miss McGill's story as
to the conduct of Foreman Alexan-
der.
Alexander has been summoned be-
fore the commission by O'Hara.
S. w. Derby, superintendent of the
shoe factory, was called to the stand.
His. impudence and his evasive an
swers reused the commission, and
called forth caustic rebukes from
O'Hara and Senator JUL.
Senator JUL said: 81 wish it were
my power to drive your concern and
others like it out of the state. It
was really the ruin of one of your
former employees who worked for
starvation wages that caused this
commission to begin Investigations.
Several other girls testified.
