The Grange Exhibition.

The exhibition of horticultural
products at the Armory "Wednesday
and Thursday of this week. under
the auspices of Pomona Grange, Is
certain to be a success. That such an
exhibition deserves to succeed no
one can doubt. The object OF these
exhibitions Is to stimulate among the
farmers a greater interest in their
industry and thereby to increase the
productivity of the land.
There is hardly a person in this
county who is not familiar with the
great progress made in farming In
the last quarter of century: many
farms are yielding two and three
times as much per acre as they did
= few years ago. which means that
the farmer is correspondence bene-
fitted, his profits having been largely
increased and the value of his land
having been doubled and in many
cases increased in value four or five
fold, and there are q number OF in
stances where persons who purchas-
cd land fifteen or twenty years ago
1T SIS to $40 an acre. now sell the
same land at from 500 to $50 an
acre.
The farmer. who by improved
methods of cultivation. etc., can in
crease his yield ten, fifteen or twen-
ty per cent. realizes that this will
be q splendid gain. and yet there
are plenty Of farmers who. In re-
cent years. have secured eight to
ten tons Of tomatoes off of land that
only a few years ago only yielded
four or five tons. The same is
true with corn and other products.
These exhibitions are just as help
full to the farmer as Is the installa-
ton of new machinery to the fac
tory; as methods Of system to the
merchant; in fact, they are really
business conventions of the farmers,
1T which are displayed their pro-
ducts. and from which they secure
much valuable information to be
applied to their business during the
next year. AS such they are en-
titled to every consideration and as
sistance at the hands of those who
are interested in the public welfare.

An. Unbiased View of Colorado.

There is fairness and larCeness of view in Pro
fessor John Bates Carks discussion Of the Colorado
strike in the current Business America" which have
been lacking from most debate upon this tragedy
of labor It was no local lapse into anarchy he con-
siders, but rather a real battle between two CON
fctng and powerful bodies In that conflict he does
not hesitate to place the fundamental justice with
the body of miners.
Their original and chief goal was the right to
bargain collectively with their employers. This the
operators opposed by insisting upon dealing with
all workers as individuals Professor Clark con-
tinues:
This original issue is the paramount one, however
the violence that later resulted has obscured IT, and
on this issue the men are right. There is every
reason to believe that, in due time, this fact will
be acknowledged Criminal violence has worked,
for the moment forfeiture OF the rights of some
OF the men. but they have only to become law abid
ing in order to regain them.
Professor Clark makes no defence of violence on
the part of strikers Non-unOn men must be secure
from murderous attacks, he comedies. But he
deprecates strongly the Of professional strike
breakers, who practically hired constabulary
and who inspire murderous feelings in the striking
laborers lie urges again, he has often done in
the past, the necessity for setting up strong and
responsible system of arbitration, which shall adj
minister justice between capital and labor and fore
stall such violence as became the order of the day
in Trinidad.
Such body, he considers, would have unques-
tiOnably sustained the laborers in their primary
demand for recognition OF the unions and ended
then and there the whole chain of bloody circum-
stances that has disgraced the state and the nation

The Reserve Rule in Baseball.

The latest decision on tho baseball reserve RUE
has been made by Judge in state court In ILLINOIS,
and Il fatty contradicts the opinions eHpressed ny
two United States district court judges, one IN
Arkansas and one in Michigan. The two federal
Judges delivered obitCr dctd so far as the reserve
rule Is concerned. They decided the cases beiore
them on other points, but both said that contract
binding one party for term of years and allowing
the other party to release himself from its oblga-
tons on ten days notice did not have the necessary
quality of mutually.
The Illinois Superior Court judge was not I'M
pressed with the lack of mutually argument ana
dismissed it on this rather naive reasoning:
II seems improbable that the many members con-
shutting the great fraternity of baseball players
should have for a score more years voluntarily
signed such contracts If the practical effect OF t,e
clause resulted in the inhiction Of en- unconsclohaole
hardship on the players
That begs the question entirely, since the wnoIe
point Of the players revolt against the old system
was that they were obliged to sign the contracts
offered them or TO get out of organized baseball
The presence of mutually in the contract cannot
he inferred from the fact that hundreds of players
signed it rather than give up means of hveli-
hood.
Until the rulings Of the Illinois court and or
the two federal courts are adjusted by some higher
up umpire the value of the rule with ten
days notice in It will remain extremely doubtful

Arbitration and Canal Tolls.

The Sen.te Foreign Relations Committees favor
able report on a resolution favoring the arbitra-
ton of the canal tolls controversy has only an
academic interest When the Sims repeal bill
passes the Senate there will no longer be any tolls
controversy, since Congress will have gone on
record as conceding that the tolls ought to be
levied on American domestic shipping as are levied
on other clsxses of shipping, foreign or domestic.
AS to he'dispute which has arisen over the in
depreciation of the Hay Pauncefotc treaty it might
have been desirable on theoretical grounds to get
the decision of a competent arDiter. President Taft
wanted TO have the Supreme Court pass on the
alleged right of the United States to discriminate
in favor OF its domestic shipping. The Senate For
eign Relations Committee wants to send the qucs-
ton to The Hague TO some special international
tribunal We have little doubt that this country
would have lost on an arbitration. But in that case
many persons who have argued honestly in favor of
the right to discriminate would have been better
satisfied
II the repeal bill passes, however arbitration will
be super6uous. There would be no conflict of fact
Regardless Of our rights lack of rights We do not
want 10 let our coastwise shipping go free through
the canal because we see no object in running the
canal deliberately at loss. Even II every ship

STRONG MEAT FOR BABES
The Words of Jean-Christophe Are
Carefully Explained.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: In pity for NJ. L., who has EVIL
IDENTIFY got out of her (or hiss depths with
Roman Roland-the fault OF The Trio-
une this, for serving strong meat TO
babes-I will gladly tell how that could
he done" c. G., how Roman ROLAND
could have a truer sympathy for women
after ceasing 10 look at them with the
eyes of a lover Lover, NJ. L., is used py
NJ ROLAND in its narrow sex sense
that is, in its usual sense. Almost any
one will be able TO explain 10 you the
specifc difference between a lover OF
women and a lover OF humanity. ASK the
noliceman on the corner or any one VINO
can read and write. or just any one with
ordinary intelligence. Now, having ceased
TO desire, Rolland-or Jean-Chrlstophe-
could have truer, because more unseliish,
sympathy with the ideals Of women, since
he would no longer Involuntary wish 10
mould them TO his desire. Is II quite
clear. NJ. L.? And will you, pray tell
how you manage to distort the sentence
into meaning cease 10 think kindly of
women?
M. the mind of the author is not
necessarily in sympathy with an "illusory
and rather ridiculous" faith, however
much he might sympathize with the
earnest and pure and unselfsh motives
leading the devotees of 1t TO embrace that
faith. NJ. ROLAND merely recognizes that
women, as we'll as men, may, tolllng atter
a visionary ideal, achieve different anu
vet substantial good; that the effort itself
is ennobling. Few great movements nave
achieved exactly what their leaders ana
followers hoped for. but all that were
loftv in aim achieved something, If only
in the characters of those who worked
for them.
Also. It is, of course, not an unhappy
thing to cook a meal for any one, but IL
is an unhappy thing to do it under COM
nulsiop because custom and law and
economic conditions or any of these de-
vote one to that task exclusively. En-
forced domesticity is just as degrading as
any other kind of enforced labor, and the
connection of that with the male egosm
is TO be found in the old parrot-cry that
"the place for women is in the home.
aboro est orare." certainly, but there is
little virtue in the prayer OF forced
convert.
II NJ. l.. would say to that that women
are no longer compelled to domesticity for
lack of ether opportunities OF employment,
attention must be directed TO the fact
that such condition has arisen almost
within the last thirty years, and that 1t
is even yet scarcely true of Germany and
the Old World generally. of which ROLAND
writes. l. NJ T.

Hunger Striking.

We can't help comparing the hunger strikes OF the
English militants with those of our own |. w. W..
and deriving not a little consolation thereby. Here
is an international sport in which, on the principle
of nulOs at bridge, it should be the object Of either
side to see what poor team it can put in the
field
One must he terribly in earnest not only to be
willing but able to torture ones self to death by this
slow method. The instructive feeling on reading OF
the self-imposed martyrdOm of the Englishwomen
is one of enhanced respect for their grievances On
the other hand, the stomachs that give in must
belong to those who believe at heart they can worry
along even if the old order changeth not.
The OdOr Of food becomes in this way something
of an acid test of social conditions. So long as
the |. W. VS. succumb to it need not take too
seriously their perfervd criticism of our insttu
tons.

questions that ought TO be disposed of by
