DISQUIETING NEWS.

This looks bad for popular govern
ment. DrA Won Kleinsmid. of the
University of California. informs n
startled country that 96 per cent of
our people are intellectually "below
the accented standard" or. to put it
less politely, are mentally half baked.
We are not informed as TO the
precise methods employed by the
professor in reaching this melancholy
conclusion. But it suggests bleak
and wintrv outlook for democracy. or
that form of government which Mr..
Lincoln once declared shall not per-
ish from the earth.
"Mostly fools" Alas for our poll
teal theory. In that connection let
us recall the wise remark of n char
actar in George Meredith's fine novel,
Richard Feyerel.., ~. ...
"When we left and rode home
Rady said to my father that Bantam
was not such fool as he was
thought and my father said one must

tically, that is not according to Hoyle.
But when government officials are al
odds-oificials whose function. under the
democratic plan, is TO interpret and adj
minister the laws whose enactment the
people authorize-it seems altogether
proper tor citizens to exercise interpre-
tive authority. That may not be sac
cofding to Hoyle," but it is practical re-
suits that count. If government officials
are disagreed as to the will of the peo-
pie, and make conflicting interpretations,
then what chance of self-government
have the people except through inter-
prcting "the law for themselves? -

SELF-AID FOR WHEAT MEN

While Senator Capper was prescrib-
ing chimerical remedy for the ills OF
the wheat farmers, some of those farm
ers themselves were taking their trou-
bles into their own hands with plausi
BILE prospect of gaining real relief. The
Kansas solon said that the freight rate
on export shipments of wheat and flour
should be reduced % per cent lust
why the railroads. should bear a loss,
it is not easy to see. 1t has not been
shown that the freight rates on wheat
and flour are excessive as compared with
the rates on other commodities. In
fact, the rates on grain were volun-
tarily reduced by the railroads some
time ago. @--
In Senator Capper's own state some
of the farmers have found a new use
for their wheaton, rather, for such
of it as they cannot sell without de-
pressing the market. These farmers
were also hog-raisers. Hogs are usually
fed ON grain. But there are kinds and
kinds of grain. The grain most COM
monty used by hog-raisers is corn.
There was no dearth of corn in Kan
sas; however, there was a greater album
dance OF wheat than of corn. Should
the hograisers feed wheat, rather than
corn, to their herds? The answer to
this question depended upon the an
swers to two other questions. First,
what was the price of wheat, as COM
pared with that of corn? Second, would
the hogs thrive on wheat?
Of course the hog-raisers didn't have
to ponder those questions. The an
swers were ready-made. Wheat of
which there was a superabundance, was
comparatively cheap; corn, of which
there was no excess, was comparatively
dear. And hogs that are fed upon
cracked wheat fatten more rapidly than
do hogs that are fed upon corn in any
form.
Therefore some OF Senator Capper's
constituents fed to their hogs their sur-
plus of cheap wheat, and consequently
had a surplus of high-priced corn to
sell.
A third but not necessarily vital ques-
ton which an amateur farmer or hog
raiser might have considered was wheth-
er it would be worth while to feed his
hogs either corn or wheat. But of course
every practical hog-raiser-and many a
consumer, too-knows that the current
price OF hogs is high. Feeding low
priced wheat to high-priced hogs, and
saving high-priced corn for the market
cannot but seem to the layman to be
better remedy for the wheat-growers
ills than any which Senator Capper, OF
any other member Of the farm bloc, has
yet prescribed.

THE WHITE HOUSE.

An architect has received a prize
of $4,000 from the Society of Beaux
Arts Architects in New York for a
design. for remodeled or rebuilt

The plan is ambitious. IT reminds

the European capitals-the sort Of
building the king of Greece or the King
of Norway might live in.
Somehow we imagine that we'll

most beautiful buildings in the world.

CHAPTER X
On Granite.


Dawn had broken over Italy and
morning. in honeysuckle colors, burned
upon the mountain mists.
Two women climbed together up the
great activity of granite. One was
brown and elderly, clad in black with
an orange rag wrapped about her
brow--a sturdy, muscular creature who
carried great, empty wicker basket
upon her shoulders; the other was clad
in a rosy jumper of silk: she flashed
in the morning fire and brought an
added beauty to that beautiful scene.
Jenny assembled the mountain as
lightly as butterfly. She moderated
her pace to the slower gait of the elder
and presently they both stopped before
little gray chapel perched beside the
mill path.
Mr.. Albert Redmayne's silkworms,
in the great airy shed behind his villa,
had nearly all spun their cocoons now,
for it was June again and the annual
crop of mulberry leaves in the val
leys beneath were well-nigh exhausted.
Therefore Assunta Marzclli, theAold
bibiliophile's housekeeper, made holt
day with his niece. now upon visit
to him, and together the women
climbed, where food might be pro-
cured for the last tardy caterpillars
TO change their state.
And then, where two tall expresses
stood upon either side, Jenny and
Assunta stayed a while.
The lake below was now reduced
to a cup of liquid jade over which

there were YES MS floating on the
waters that held the watchers eyes.
They looked like twin, toy torpedo

black upon the water, with Italy's
flag at the taffrail. But the little
ships were no toys and Assunta
hated Them, for the strange craft
told of the ceaseless' battle waged
by authority against TIE mountain
smugglers and reminded the widow
of her own lawless husbands death
ten years before.
The women climbed presently TO
Il little field of meadow grass that
sparkled with tiny flowers and
spread its alpine sward among
thickets Of mulberry. Here their
work awaited them; but first they
ate the eggs and wheaton bread, wal
nuts and dried figs that they had
brought, and shared little flask of
red wine. They finished with a
handful of cherries and then AS.

great basket while Jenny loitered n
while and smoked cigarette. 1t was

riage.
Soon the women started upon their
homeward way. They had descended

shadow.

GAME FOR THE FUTURE

Exhortations against the slaughtering
of game birds and animals are delivered
every year, usually at this season. Most
Of them are alike as to the conclusion
drawn; they differ only in phraseology.
The common conclusion-and its i'm
portance is not discounted by such
monotonous repetition-is that the point
OF extinction is being rapidly approached
that the time is no. far distant when
there will be nothing left for hunters to
hunt, unless some policy of genuine con-
servation is adopted and enforced. Con

Detuate the game of the United States
, cry little, that is, except in states where
the point of extinction has been almost
reached and there, of course, conserva-
ton has the least chance of success.
However, one advocate of censerva-
ton treats the subject in new way.
He appeals to an instinct which few
such exhorters have tried to touch. Adj
dressing his remarks to the 1900 900
licensed hunters throughout the coun-
try, and assuming that many of them
arc fathers, he first describes the pros
pective day when there will be no more
game, and then asks: SIS that what

1t is highly pertinent question. Every
hunter or at least every true sports
man, has. his ideas about how boys
should be brought up; and how strange

are hunters. But if the fond fathers of
today are going to kill off the game.
their sons, or perhaps their grandsons
or great-grandsons, will be OF "no ac-
count on EARTH" Isn't that a prospect
to set all nimrods thinking?
But Mr. Smith is not going to forego
a lot of fun so that Mr., Jones can have
it. And Mr.. Jones has the same disin-
clination to practice conservation all by
himself. If the bag limit is about twice
what it should be to give the game a
chance to multiply from season to sea-
son, both Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Jones will
strive to kill the maximum allowed by
law; hunter who gets less is poor

The eXhorter who would have Ameri-
can game preserved as a heritage for
sportsmen OF future generations is DR..
7. Hornaday. director of the
Bronx Geological Park aud trustee of
the permanent Wild Life Protective
Fund. He may or may not be a hunter.
The chances, however, are that he
speaks from experience gained during
many years of personal observation in
the country's game regions. 1t seems
to require such experience to impress
upon hunters the. fact that game birds
and animals are not inexhaustible.
One of the practical suggestions made |
by Mr.. Hornaday is that present legal
bag limits be reduced to one-half; an
other, that there should be alternate
years of open and closed seasons for |
game that is most rapidly decreasing.
If these two suggestions, in combination.
were adopted and enforced throughout
the country, long step toward conser-
walton Of Americas wild life would be
taken.

WHEN A JURY MAKES THE LAW

In democracy the people make the
laws, theoretically at least. That is, the
willof the people is supposed to be trans
mutcd into law by their legislative
agents, Let it be supposed that this
theory was put into practice when the
eighteenth amendment was adopted and
the Nolstead law enacted. Then con-
slider the matter OF interpreting and adj
ministering the law. The country's ex-
perience with prohibition" has demon
strated impressively that popular sover-
eighty can be over-ridden just as effec-
lively by officials who interpret and adj
minister the law as by legislators who
ignore the peoples will to begin with.
But what happens when those who
interpret and administer the law fall out
with each other? How can the dispute
be settled, when, for example, the re-
spective rulings of two departments of
the government are in conflict?
Some possibilities are indicated by a
dispatch from Baltimore, Nd, which re-
ports that certain ruling OF former At
tornev General Palmer will be tested BY
the United States district attorney OF
that city. Attorney General Palmer had
ruled that it was not unlawful for indivi-
duals to make, for their own use and
not for sale, Intoxicating wines from
fruit juices. Recently the Treasury De.
partment issued a regulation that ben.
Zoate of soda must be added to fruit
juices to prevent fermentation.
Now the district attorney at Balti
more, it seems, thinks that the Treasury
! Department regulation represents "tht
law" despite the permission" accorded
citizens who crave homemade wine. So
the district attorney, it is reported ha:
decided to put the issue to test. How
is he going about it?
| He has collected evidence designed t.
show that a certain citizen has mad
wine from fruit juices without adding
benzoate OF soda as prescribed by tn
Treasury Department. He will presen
that evidence to the grand jury. and viii
ask that body to indict the citizen VIII,
is alleged to have taken advantage O
the law as interpreted by Attorne
General Palmer.
: Thus will a test be made. If tn
/ grand jury indicts the winemaking cit
t zen, then the Treasury Department
+; regulation will be "the law" If it re

D eral Palmcr's ruling will be "the law.
