The Farmers.

At the Minnesota state fair Mr..
Harding will have something to say
of importance to the farmers. They
are desinous of hearing from him. They
are very much interested in this years
campaign, and the politicians are very
much interested in them.
Indeed, everybody is. As seldom be-
fore, we are all leaning on the farmers.
We are all wishing them "a happy is
sue out of all their Affections"
Affections they undoubtedly have.
Help is scarce. Wages are high. The
young men prefer jobs in town. Farm
life seems dull and slow. The "white
ways glisten and becken. Young
blood loves excitement, the crowd,
the rattle.and-ban Of things.
Still, there must be farmers; and
farmers must have help; and help
enough must be found to make farm.
ing profitable.
But wishing the farmers happy is.

enough. Can anything be done by The

spond to it in . way to inspire the Of
ficials to their best performances.
Without such a cabinet, Mr.. Lin
coin, with all of his superior states
manship, could hardly have executed
the colossal task that fell to him as
President. In full appreciation of his
task-its size and difficulties-he called
to his side the strongest men avail
able, one of them-Stanton-a demo
crat.
Without such a cabinet, Mr.. Hayes,
who had entered the White House after
a dispute over his title to Office SO
bitterEivil war had but narrowly been
averted. could not have quieted pub
lie feeling as rapidly as he did, and
at the close of his term forced from
even his political opponents an admis-
sion of the sufficiency Of his admins
tration. But there was no disputing
the high tone that Secretary Evarts
had given our foreign affairs Or the
healthful tone that Secretary Sherman
had given our financial affairs.
Mr.. Harding increases his claims to
consideration by this reference to the
importance of cabinet, and by a ref.
erence, earlier made, to the impor-
lance of the vice presidency, and to
the services an incumbent of that
place should be given an opportunity
to render.

government to assist them to shake
of their troublesi They are complain
ing. Somehow they feel they have
not been getting a square deal-or, as
the phrase is, their share of the good
things going.
What is called the agricultural vote
il large, and like the labor vote, the
business vote, and the capitalist vote,
an object of solicitude in campaign
years. Party managers play for it.
But, also like the labor vote, the bust
ness vote, and the capitalist vote, it
divides on election day. 1t is not de-
livered or deliverable by anybody or
any influence. 1t does its own think
ing and votes its own way, and therein
is wise, and American.

The High Cost of Building.

Perhaps the most serious phase of
the industrial situation, the widest
spread and with the largest continu
ing results, is found in the state of
the building trades and in the enor-
NOUS increase in the cost of building
materials. For the resulting increase
in the cost of building is not tenn
porary matter, as is the cost of food
or of clothing, but is adding perma-
nently to the cost of living of the
world.
1t is clear that if it now costs dou-
Bile to build a dwelling house what it
did before the war, the rent for that
house must be double what fair price
would formerly have been-otherwise
there would be no incentive to build.
It is clear also that this cost will be
reflected in increased value of exist
ing houses, as they will surely if grad
nally reach the level of the reproduc-
ton cost.
{. The worldwide shortage of housing
is, Of course, accompanied by a world
wide demand for the services of the
building trades, and We find the build
ing trades taking advantage Of this
situation to force heavy increases to
wage scales that are already very high,
and also in many cases We find a
lamentable tendency to imt the out
put by distinct "laying down on the
Job"
r The inevitable effect of this is to
place a permanent additional burden
on all men who live in houses or do
business with men who live in houses.
The gravity of the situation is clear,
and sane and right thinking leaders
of the building trades will not fail
to impress the men they represent with
the truth that any extortionate de-
mands they make are to be paid by
other wage earners, and that fellow
wage earners are really paying for all
the Sinking that is done, and paying
for it a thousandfold.
For every man who rents a house
or an. apartment is beginning to real
lie that the increased cost of new
building is inevitably and almost i'm
mediately reflected in increased value
of existing buildings and consequently
in increased rents, and having this
fact in mind he is beginning further
to realize that the factor of "inefi-
cheney" so prominent at this time, is
at his expense, and, that being so, he
feels that the other fellow ought to
give him an honest days work for an
honest days pay.

Americans Win at Antwerp.

From Antwerp comes word of Ameri-
can victories in the stadium at the
seventh Olympiad. At the close Of the
second day the teams representing the
United States had scored total of
43 points out of possible &C for that
days events. They are now in the
lead in the record. In every event so
far an American has been "placed.'
They have met their chief opposition
from the Finnish and Swedish teams,
which have excelled in certain lines.
The most notable performance so far
las been that yesterday of Frank
LOOMS, jr.. of Chicago, who ran the
400-meter hurdle race in the new world
record time of 81 seconds-one second
faster than the best previous perform
ance. Other world records will prob
ably be broken before the Olympiad is
finished, but it is gratifying that il
was an American who first established
the new mark. In point scoring the
American team, it is to be expected
will lead at the finish, for its person
mel is larger and apparently better
trained. A surprising fact thus far in
The Olympiad is the small attendance
The stadium has been only sparsely
occupied on both days. Possibly the
Belgians and other Europeans are toe
busily engaged in reconstruction and
recovery from the war and are toe
much Interested in political affairs
to watch even the most thrilling inter
national athletic contests.

Lloyd George Deiies Labor.

1t was not TO be expected that Pre-
mier Lloyd George would tanely sub
NIT to the dictation Of British labor
in the matter Of government policy.
Yesterday in the house of commons,
replying to a question, he declared
that any attempt to dictate the policy
of the government or parliament by
industrial action struck at the root of
the democratic constitution of the
country and would be resisted by all
the forces at the governments dis
posal.
At the recent labor conference held
in London a "council of action" was
named, to call general strike, in the
event Of war with Russia. Yesterday
the premier called this zone of the
most formidable challenges ever given
democracy" His statement was cheer
ed by the members of the house.
There is at present little prospect of
war between England and Russia. The
British policy is one Of on-interven-
ton. Notice has been sent to Gen.
Wrangel that he can expect ne material
aid from England. Efforts are con-
tinuing to promote an understanding
between the soviet and Poland and to
secure the suspension of hostilities.
Thus there is no immediate occasion
for conflict between the British gov
eminent and the labor forces. Pos
sibly the latter will accept the chal-
lenge thus given by the premier and
preeipitate an issue. This would. be
most uawise. But then so was the
original declaration at the London CON
|ference unwise, as it was aHpatfiotic.
Lloyd George is a fighter, and it is
evident that he intends to brook no
interference by any class with the
fixed policies of the government for
which he is responsible short of a
new mandate from the people at a gen
eral election. There is no present sign
that he has lost the confidence of the
British public.

Near the Danger Line.

Every year the reports of the OH
GERS in charge of the water supply of
the District point to q dangerous ap-
proach to the limit OF the distribution
system. According to the figures just
announced for the fiscal year ending
June 80 last, the capital is now Within
$4,000 gallons daily of the point set
as the safe capacity of the system. The
increase in the daily average consamp-
ton during the past fiscal year was
about 100000 gallons over that of the
year before. If in the current fiscal year
a similar increase takes place, the total
average daily consumption will be
greater by a quarter Of q million gal
Ions than the safe daily capacity Of
the reservoirs, conduits and filtration
plant.
We have been so close to the danger
line for SO many years the wonder
is that Washington has not suffered
an acute privation long ago. We are
dependent today upon q single conduit
between Great Falls and the reservoirs
and filter beds. If any break occurs
in that conduit we will be in a most
distressing condition. But, apart from
the possibility of break, there re-
mains the fact that not enough water
is being impounded and brought down
to the reservoirs and from them sent
to the consumers to xffofd safe mar
gin over the maximum daily demand.
A commission is now at work sur
veying possible resources of increased
water supply. A report is expected
early in the next session. Immediate
action is imperative if the capital is
to be safeguarded from the danger Of
a water famine. Even with action at
the coming session it is possible that
the point of safe daily consumption
will be passed while the work is in
its preliminary stages.
1t is to be noted that the total daily
consumption during 1890, with the
population at 455,42S, was greater than
it was during the preceding fiscal year,
when the wartime population was un-
doubtedly larger. This can signify
only that the habit Of water use is in
creasing, or that there is a heavy
wastage somewhere. There is no rea-
son whatever to expect the diminution
of per capita consumption during the
present fiscal year, and the population,
now that government personnel has
been reduced close to nor
NAL, will probably increase over that
of the past fiscal year. Unless radical
economies are practced and restric-
lions are imposed during this present
year, the average daily consumption
is likely to exceed by more than l.
10000 that Of the year just closed.
There is, therefore, urgent need Of
both water economies and of the earli-
est possible action by Congress to pro-
vide for an immediate enlargement of
the water service.

Erudifion.

Erudition.
I know a man who often makes an
erudite display.
His style is most imposing when he
shows it in that way.
We sit by hours and listen to his con-
versation deep
Till he tells funny story. Then we
feel it's time to weep.
He stands quite like statue in his
moments of repose.
His grace is marvellous when in for
gesturing he goes.
But the people simply sigyle all re-
gardless Of his frown
When in railway coach he tries to
put a window down.
The very simplest subject he will deck
with words immense,
As bis uncommon learning shows con-
tempt for common sense.
And sometimes we suspect, as his ac-
tivities We view,
That rendition stuffs" the easiest
thing a man can do.

THREW RADIUM AWAY
Negress Didn't Like Odor and Threw
$1,000 Worth in Sewer


There was CONSERVATION among the
doctors of the Radium Institute at
Thomasville, Ca, recently when 1t
das found that $1,000 worth of
radium had been thrown into a sewer.
The radium was being used in
treating a negro woman for cancer
at the hospital and was left attached
Tor a certain length of time. De-
Gliding that she did not like the odor
of radium and SOW no good in little
thing like that, anyway, the woman,
happening to be left alone, cut the
string holding it and going to the
bath room threw the costly remedy
into the sewer. When the attending
physicians returned and found the
radium missing and learned Of it's dis
position excitement reigned supreme.
Plumbers were hastily summoned,
sewer pipes torn up and vigorous
search made. After extended search
the tiny tube, hardly larger than a
needle, was found lodged against the
sewer trap in the yard of the hospital.
A young plumber named Sullivan
received the hundred dollars reward
offered for the recovery of the rad
ium.
