In 1875 this wheat sold from Is cents

1890 the difference in price was only
10 cents. and in July, 1910. for the
first time. the price was the same as
for softer wheat. 1t won It's way, but

WHAT'S THE CONNECTION.

Two publications In the news col
umns today have an affinity for one
another The story Of the 1ooting Of
the Rock Island railroad and the reply
of Clifford Thorne to a communica-
ton which attempted to juggle figures
concerning the late decision OF the IN
terstate commerce commissions de-
cision against the demand for a raise
in western freight rates.
The Rock Island story Is in the re-
port Of the Interstate commerce COM
mission Of it's investigation into the
affairs Of that road It is tale OF
plain loot, a resume Of transactions
that were founded on the basis Of ''the
public be damned 1t deals with mis-
representations by officers to stock
holders, of millions lost to the road in
deals and great gains made by the
promoters Of Rock Island holding COM
panies, Of vast sums appropriated az
eratuities to officials of the road, OF
books burned at the end Of every
month by those who profited largely
thru the manipulations-in all abou,
$40, 000, 900 loss to a public utility
granted practical monopoly Of its
territory by the people and Of which
the stock q dozen years ago sold al

ILLUSTRATING A PolN1.

The supreme court of Colorado has
barred Judge Hillyer from presiding
over strike trials. The reason of this
prescription is interesting because of
its bearing on certain objections raised
IN Iowa to certain candidates beca use
of their intimate connection with cor
pora tons. Judge Hillyer had been at
torney for the mine owners and closely
connected with their interests. On the
showing made the court suspends him
from further hearings of labor cases.
What effect the suspension will have
as regards new hearings in the strikes
cases already heard by Judge Hulyer
is not made evident.
The court is right. 1t is hardly pos
sinls that the judge should not have
gained bias in his years of close con-
nection with the mine owners. 1t has
been his side Of the case. He would
lean toward il as naturally as the tree
inciines with the bending of the twig.
II urconsciously then honestly. If con-
sciouslyl then dishonesty.
Il Is hard to teach old dogs new
tricks Harder to unlearn them the
old tricks they have learned.
If that is true in court procedure and
legal matters it is even more certain
in politics.

"sin Killer" Griffin. Faith.

| A colored evangelist, famous a. Ions
as a quarter of a century ago. because
of his declaration that he was brave
and able enough to fikht sin at close
quarters and kill 1t every time" Ii
| renurrected from what has long
seemed to be growing obscurity thru
a demonstration Of his faith by his
! works.
"Sin Killer" Griffin has been con-
Quoting revival at Hot Springs. q
place which has long figured in news
paper reports as one given over to
many of frivolities Of life Last Sun
day number Of colored converts
were to be baptized in the big lake
near Wilmington park. When the
party reached the selected spot, a
twelve-foot alligator, which had es-
capped from the government collection
in the park, showed himself on the
face of the waters, and headed q
course toward the evangelist and the
converted one entering the water with
him.
Sin Killer" Griffin's faith, courage
and promise were being put to su-
preme test 1t affords us pleasure to
say that he met the test nobly. Cry
ing out to some men and boys in the
crowd to attack the alligator with
stones and clubs. he led the meeting
in prayer and afterwards in song be-
fore the end Of which the great rep
tile had turned tail and was swim
ming rapidly toward the opposite
shore. There was fear and trepidation
that he would come back among the
converted who were to be baptized
and their friends. But "Sin Killer"
Griffin cried out in loud voice that
Satan had been defeated. that he had
fled. and that the sin he had tried to
spread among the saved had been
killed forever. And, his faith and
courage prevailing. he baptized there
many unto repentance. And the alli-
gator did not come back Scoffers
will say that the brute was scared
away by rocks and stones. but "Sin
Killer" Griffin says he was driven
away by the fear Of the Lord. And
Sin Killer" can come just as near to
proving his contention as the scoffers
can come to proving theirs.-St Louis

A STATE IN DISGRACE.

The state of Georgia is in disgrace
thru the act OF one of its many MODS.
The state was in bad odor as law
abiding commonwealth before the
Frank case. 1t capped the climax of
its bad repute, however when its an
archists raided a penitentiary and
lynche6 a prisoner.
The state Will be long recovering
from the utter lawlessness Of that act.
Georgia, like other southern states de-
sires outside capital and outside i'm
migration. Capital and desirable i'm
mi grants are not attracted but repealed
by conditions that resemble mining
camp of the atties rather than SOW
ereign state IN the Twentieth century.
SO much FOR the physical effect upon
the state. The moral slump is meal
culable. The success Of the lawless
mob that tore Frank from the hands of
the commonwealth and did mob murder
upon a man who belonged to the state
of Georgia under her statutes will bear
fruit in other lynchings and in gen
eral disregard OF law. Lawlessness
breeds lawlessness true to type and
feather.
Determined lawlessness marks the
entire course OF the Frank case. The
mob forced his conviction in the courts
and threatened the detectives brought
to Atlanta 10 secure evidence of limo
cence; it raved in the streets and
dominated judge and jury If the re-
ports which must be taken as unbiased
are TO be credited; II found expression
in the ulurderous attack made upon
Frank in prison by a fellow convict
a states prison and with astonishing
elaboration Of purpose carried its cap
tive 100 miles to hang him.
The perpetrators Of the outrage
should De punished but there is no
chance Of that The mob always es-
capes the consequences of it's crimes.
1Hal t!llS Is 50 Simply dccentuateS the
cowardliness Of mobs-for mobs are
cowardIy as witness every instance
where a bold man or determined
posse has clashed with mob as at
Danville where a game sheriff with
riot gun taught a lesson and sent
thousand fleeing in mad fear of their
own lives. That there was collision
or cowardice on the part Of the prison
guards Of Frank is evident from the
fact that there were no dead law
breakers at the gates But none of
the mob will be punished. When in a
community like Iowa mob can hang
an old man from bridge, and self
constituted posse hunt down and kill
an inoffensive and harmless negro on a
mint that ne may be a criminal with
out serious consequences to themselves,
it is idle to expect punishment Of the
mob that lynched Frank.

WHY THROW A FIT.
IShaIdon NALL

The Dennison Bulletin and Manson
Democrat, both wet, are having a fit
over the assertion which the Bulletin
makes, that there are several mem
bers of the state legislature who were
drinking men and voted for the dry
laws. There is nothing remarkable in
the statement, even should 1t be a fact.
There is no man who knows better
the value of dry laws, than the drink
ing man. If he desires to discontinue
the drinking habit, he also knows that
dry laws will help him. The Mail can
see no reason why anyone should
throw a conniption. 1t is one of the
strong arguments for prohibition when
drinking men realize prohibitions
value and have the manhood to vote
their convictions.

WHEN THE WORM TURNED.
TApk1ou Wnr1d 4


Two or three good fellows were
seated together the other day when
one Of the trio unconsciously revealed
d secret in witch the tables mad been
turned on him. Any old time is a
reasonable time for 'the old man" to
reach home; he goes on the theory I'm
boss" but the wife went on a little
visit for few days and dropping her
liege lord a few lines by mail said:
'1'il be home on the 2:15 train from
the east" The aforesaid 0. m. was at
the station when the train rolled In:
no wife: next day another message,
It'll be home for sure"-and down to
the station at midnight to prove that
he had lost none Of his gallantry he
went Train arrives but no wife. Next
day long distance telephone call and
the words, sweetly accented. FOR sure
tonight" The third was not charm
but false alarm. His two comrades
suggested that he'd better OFFER a
prayer but In his fingers he held a post
card bearing the information "If I'm
NOT there ON the first train, I'll be
there on the next" ard with 4 rather
