W. Are Too Stupid and Marrow to
Solve Them, Says Shaw.
We are a stupid people. and We are
bad looking people. We are ugly. we
have narrow minds and we have bad
manners. A great deal Of that is due
to the effect Of being brought up in a
society Of inequality. know perfectly

between me and that boy gulf which

Henry L. Stimson was to have been
the reunited party's candidate for
senator.
Mr.. Barnes enmity for the colo.
mel as we'll as the desire to escape
extinction, caused him to exert his
political talents to the utmost, with
the result that he is now said by the
Eagle to be absolute boss of the state.
The political stupidity Of his foes is
largely responsible.
There is small chance for a genuine
direct primary law in New York this

Goino Abroad for FoodstuHs

Government reports continue to
show immense and increasing impor-
tations of foodstuffs into the United
States, a country that few years
ago was regarded as the bread basket
of the world. These importations in
clude meats and meat products of al
most every description, cattle on the
hoof, grains and vegetables. They
cover, practically, all the products of
the farm and garden. For November,
1918, the last month to report COM
pletely, the volume and value of
foodstuffs imported show marked in
creases over the corresponding month
of 1912.
There are certain phases of the
United States crop situation that call
for careful treatment. For example.
It will appear from the government
statistics that the farm value of the
potato crop of the United States in
1913 is put at $22S,OOO,0OO, larger
total than for any earlier year except
1911, which was $234,OOO,00O. But in
crease Of value in this case does not
reflect increased production. The
value was high because production
was low. The United States potato
crop of 1913 supplied an average Of
three and a half bushels per capita.
while that of 1912, high record
year. supplied an average of four and
one-third bushels. The truth is, the
United States. the natural home Of
the potato, has a production annually
far below that of other countries.
Farm products Of all kinds are high
in the United States because farm
production in the United States is
low. This statement applies general
ly. Its truth was signally exempt
fed few days ago in an article in
these columns indicating the posi-
bility. on the authority Of an expert
agriculturist, that last years corn
crop in Texas could be doubled this
year II the Texas farmers are so dis.
posed.
There Is no shortage of farming
land in the United States. The fer
tility of farm lands in the United
States, taking the country through,
has not seriously diminished. MIL
lions upon millions of acres are idle.
Under conditions far less favorable
farmers abroad are raising a great
deal more to the acre than is taken
from the soil in the United States
Tremendous quantities OF foodstutfs
that might easily be raised in the
United States are imported-must be
imported-from other lands. Instead
Of feeding the world. as 1t did to
very large extent for years. the
United States is now being fed ~
part by other countries.
Much light talk is INDUCED in with
regard to the back.to-the.soil move
ment. but unless the soil that has
come to Americans as priceless in
heritance is put to proper use, the
cost Of living seems certain to continue
to rise. And that Is very serious
matter. one that will become more
serious year by year as population
increases, for the consuming millions

ACCUSE ILLINOIS

OF VIOLATING

Chicago, Dec. 16-James G. Brady,

ing violated the Mann white slave act.
The charge was brought by Mrs. Mary

wife, whose suit alleging breach of prom
Use by Brady's having refused to re-mar-
~ her in Illinois at the expiration OF a
year from her divorce, is pending.
Mrs. Brady visited Charles F. Clyne,
United States district attorney, today
and charged that the state auditor had
violated the federal law in transporting
her from Detroit to Chicago. She is also
said to have told the United States off,
Gals of other interstate trips in addi-
ton to her wedding journey.
Mrs. Brady charges the auditor with
having married her in Michigan few
days after she had been divorced from
former husband. The Illinois supreme
court has held that re-marriages within
a year of the divorce are Illegal. Brady
refused to make her his legal wife IN
this state, Mrs. Brady charges.

FINDING THE RANGE AT SEA.
How Warshps Bring Their Guns t.
Bear Upon the Enemy.

One of the most important instru-
ments used on a warship is the range
finder, for without this instrument 1t
is practically impossible to aim the
guns accurately without first mourning
a serious delay in getting the range
by trial shots.
Range finders all work on much the
same principle, images of the ship or
other object sighted on being received
through the two object glasses, one
located near each end and on the side
of the tube, being reflected and re-
fracted by system of mirrors and
prisms so that both are brought to the
eye of the observer, who looks through
the eyepiece located at the middle Of
the tube and on the opposite from the
object glasses.
The right hand object glass trans
mits only the upper half Of the object
sighted on and the left hand object
glass the lower half. When sighting
on ship, for example, the rigging and
tunnels will appear to be offset hor-
izontally from the lower part Of the
ship, so long as the instrument is not
set for the correct range The images
are then brought together by thumb
screw that moves one Of the prisms.
and this sets scale that shows the
distance in yards to the ship.-Pear-
sons Weekly.

Fame of a Tailor.

The name Of Captain Keayne has a Sc
cure niche in history as the founder of
the ancient and Honorable Artillery
company. He was merchant tailor and
had been a member of the Honorable
Artillery company of London, and his
Boston Company mad to overcome the
opposition of Governor Winthrop, who
feared the establishment of Pretorian
guard. Perhaps Keayne would have
failed entirely had he not been "distin-
guished for his piety and benevolence.
In the practice of his art as "a tailor he
ran foul Of the laws for the regulation
of business and was fined E200 by the
great and general court for exacting
more than sixpence in the shilling profit
on foreign goods. He died in Boston
March %, 1856, and his will, in which was
a substantial bequest to Harvard. is one
of the longest on record.-New York Sun.
