A BILLION OF WHEAT,

The Wall Street Journal discusses
following editorial:
1t should do any citizen good to give
n wheat report something more than
a passing glance. That part of the
government crop report shows that tho
United States is holding its position as
a producer Of wheat. And it shows.
too, that North America is still the
worlds greatest producer.
An Outturn Of 754, 900, 000 bushels is
or itself cause for cOngratulation. In
bushels it Is the largest amount we
have ever harvested. But this is not
the final return. Spring wheat in the
month of August Increased 4.3 per cent,
or 10,OO0.000 bushels. Last zeal the
hnal estimate was SO per cent larger
than the September estimate for all
wheat. Wheat is plump and full this
year, and might easily overrun the esti-
mate. Nc one has yet had the hardi-
hood to predict a crop of 800, 00O, 900
bushels, but should there be a similar
increase in the final of this year that
figure could be reached.
But it is safer to keep our feet on the
earth and deal with what is certain. A
crop of 754, 600, 600 bushels means 7.8N
buf1sels per capita. This compares
~favorably with last years final yield OF
7.65 bushels per capita, and, virtually,
even with 1882 bushels, the average for
the decade ending with 1910. A little
fact like this puts to rout the gloomy
prediction Of America speedily becom-
ing an importer Of wheat. It proves
that Notwithstanding our rapidly in
creasing population we are able to
raise our W bread, and some to
spare.
On the basis of -four consumption the
pc capita use Of wheat is figured al
about 5A bushels. But if all the or
binary uses Of wheat are included Gas
they should be) it averages slightly
above 6 bushels. The reserve carried
from n crop to another has in the
past decade averaged nine-tenths of 6
bushel for each person. Probably thai
sis now more than safety requires. The
reserve on July 1 was placed at 95,'
500, 600 bushels, of which only $780,
900 bushels was on the farms.
On the face of government figures
the United States has q crop whose
o value in the Chicago markets ii
now approximately $670,000,000. 4

SHE WHO WATTS.

At the international convention of
fire chiefs in New York last week an
address was made by Mrs. Frederick
Gooderson, wife of a deputy chief of
the New York fire department. She
was talking to the wives and daugh-
ters of the fire fighters from every
quarter of the globe, but her words
will find a sympathetic echo in the
breasts of men n women everywhere
even of those who are not of a fire
mans family. Said Mrs. Gooderson:
Eve near a great many wonderful
stories of our men, and we firewomen
know that they are true. But are
there any stories Of the women who
wait at hOmc and sometimes wait
in vain for their heroes to return?
w women know better than any
one else the meaning of the dread
alarm when we see people running
gleefully after the fire engine. We
wonder how many women Of the out
side world ever realize how the wo-
men Of the fire department feel"
Truly she who waits has the heavier
burden to bear. No more heroic men
adorn any walk of life than those who
take their lives in their hands for a
mere pittance every time the alarm
strikes and the engines clatter to the
scene of conflagration. Their deeds
are written in every city, town and
village and none deny them the high
est place on the rOll of fame.
But what Of her who, as Mrs. Good
erson so pathetically asks, waits and
waits at home and sometimes waits i'll
vain for her hero to return What
agony every one of those wives passes
through each time; suspense that finds
no p~alliation is hers till the "all out
signal comes and even then she is
not certain that "her hero" will not
return upon his shield. The nerve
racking, ~soul-tearing waiting is hers
while others are running gleefully aft
er the fire engines or watching the
fight that ]conquers the flames.
All honor to the fireman; no praise
is too high for him. Gut while ap-
plauding him give a sympathetic
thought to the woman who waits.

EDITORIAL COMMENT
First Argentine Beef.

New York Sun: The Lamport &
Holt line steamship Vandyck, due in
New York from South American ports,
will bring to this city the first cargo
Of Argentine beef. There are 1000
quarters of beef in the cold storage
compartments of the vessel, an amount
equal to ten carloads OF dressed beef
as it usually comes to this city from
the west.
The beef is consigned by the River
Plate Fresh Meat Co. to B. Frankfeld
& Co, of the New York Produce ex-
change. 1t is estimated by the con
signees that the beef can be sold at q
profit here under the prevailing prices
for western beef even after the tariff
chargs are paid, but Frankfeld & Co.
may put the beef in cold storage in
anticipation that meat will oon be on
the free list.
This consignment is being imported
as an experiment and will be distrib-
uted to dealers in Manhattan and
Brooklyn.

senatorial Courtesy"

Chicago Post: This colloquy occur
red in the senate during the tariff de-
bate:
Mr. Bristow-If the senate will par
don me, l have not had my lunch yet:
so the senator will excuse me if l do
not remain during the entire time of
his discussion.
Mr.. Williams-Why, Mr.. President,
I thank God for the fact that there is
nothing either in the law or in the
constitution Of the United States com
pelling us to listen to one another. It
would be the most miserable life in
the world if we had to stay here all
the time and hear one another. I am
speaking, as all Of us do, chiefly for
the Record and the country.
This is a sort Of senatorial courte-
sy" with which the country is not
familiar. The theory that senators are
speaking to the country at large In
stead of to the senate may have a
sound democratic basis. But it is APP
pallingly destructive of any possibili-
ty for real debate.

The Court.

st. Louis Post-Dispatch: To oues-
ton the power of congress to disor-
ganize the m court would be
to question it's right to make any
changes in the judiciary demanded by
experience or new conditions. The
u has disappointed expectation.
The impeachment Of one of its mem
bers has involved it in scandal and
diminished it's prestige. But the right
to legislate it's judges out of office
while disorganizing the court presents
a different proposition. Even if con-
gress had this power it would be I'M
wise to exercise it. When their as
signment to a special jurisdiction is
justitiably ended the judges should be
left to continue elsewhere their iudi-
cial functions during good behavior,
as contemplated by the constitution.

HOW COURTS LOOK
UPON PERJURY

iHenC WAS assessed AZ III years IN

Furman, Presiding Judge of the
Criminal Court of Appeals of
Oklahoma, in Rose v. State. 127
Pacific Reporter, 873, quotes
from a former opinion by him in
Coleman v. State. 118 Pacific Re-
porter, 594, as follows:
Next to the crime of seduc-
tion and rape. perjury is the most
serious offense against the laws
of the state, and the most infam-
Gus in its character that can be
committed, and especially the
kind of perjury for the commits
sion of which appellant now
stands convicted. We can, have
some respect for man who for
a reason or fancied wrong enters
into a fair combat in which he
takes the life of his adversary.
We can even sympathize with an
aged widowed mother, or a de-
voted wife, sister, or daughter,
who. through love for a son, a
husband, or brother, or a father.
is driven to the commission of
perjury to save such loved one
from the hangman's moose. We
can understand how perjury in
cases of this kind may not indi-
cate an utter want of moral char
acter; but we cannot find Ian
guage strong enough to express
our detestation Of the crime for
which appellant has been conyic-
ted.
"The smallness of the cause
for which perjury is committed
is a true indication of the moral
depravity of the man who COM
mitts it. The fact that the jury
did not give appellant the full
limit of the law is the only thing
about this case worthy of criti-
cism. We think that the smaller
the inducement for perjury the
greater the punishment should
be. The man who will commit
perjury to shield a crap shooter
or bootlegger is a most danger
GUS man 10 society. The longer
he can be locked up, the better
it will be for the interests of
public justice.
From the records which we
have examined in bootlegging
and gambling cases. we are
impressed with the idea that this
kind of offense is common in this
state. In fact, it appears that
these cases are schools for per-
jury. The county attorneys and
judges and grand and petit juries
of the state cannot be too dilig-
ent in bringing such parties to
justice. There is too much of a
disposition to look upon perjury
in these cases as something to be
expected. and as being of but
small Importance. Men who per-
jure themselves in these small
cases will not hesitate, if an in
ducement is offered, to prejure
themselves in order that they
may cheat the gallows of its due.
or consign innocence to a felon's
cell, or rob widows and orphans
of their property.
Perjury attacks the integrity
of all legal proceedings, and
thereby endangers the institu-
tions of our country; and we
again call on county attorney
and all other officers to exercise
the utmost diligence in prosecut-
ing these offenders. with the as
surance that, when they are
fairly tried and proven guilty,
this court will not hesitate to do
its full duty in each case. No
